My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 8 Identity
[This character's exclusive training system is the "Social Superstar System."]

The core rule of the "Social Superstar System" is: Whenever you establish cooperative relationships with more extraordinary humans, you can receive rewards through the "Exclusive Cultivation System."

[Current progress: Training Task 1: Establish a friendly cooperative relationship with 1 psychic (regardless of pro or con) (Reward: 1 attribute point)]

Ji Minghuan quickly scanned the text on the panel, his eyes lighting up. As he digested the new settings in his mind, he thought, "Isn't this just right?"

This mechanism was exactly what he wanted. If he couldn't break through the current situation by relying on the clue of the "welfare home" and find the clues left by his mentors, then he would have to get closer to those psychics and try to find out any information related to the laboratory from them. At this stage, his actions complemented the "character development system".

It was already late, so he pressed the power button to turn on his phone.

At the orphanage, all he ate was from the cafeteria. He had never ordered takeout, nor was he eligible. He opened the app and carefully selected his options, ultimately ordering an Italian dinner—pasta as the main course and potato soup as the soup.

After confirming that the merchant accepted the order, I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was now 8:20 in the evening.

He thought, “If there is a way to confirm the real time in the time zone where the laboratory is located, there might be a chance to determine the approximate location of the laboratory on the map by using the time difference.”

Unfortunately... Ji Minghuan lived a life without sunlight in the laboratory. He couldn't even see the sky, let alone rely on the weather to determine the local time. Even more despairing was that there was no equipment like a clock in the prison cell.

During the first two weeks of the month, Ji Minghuan had asked his instructor to hang a pendulum clock on the wall of his cell, saying it would allow him to keep track of the current time and sleep at a regular time to maintain a consistent sleep schedule. The reason he chose a pendulum clock instead of a regular clock was because Ji Minghuan felt the cell was too quiet. If the pendulum clock could make some noise when it swung, he wouldn't be so depressed.

It is difficult for people not to feel depressed when staying in a vacuum-like silent environment for a long time. At this time, some noise is a great luxury for them.

Unfortunately, his tutor did not agree to his request, and he never bothered himself again after that.

If the researchers in the laboratory required him to eat three meals a day on time, he would be able to tell whether it was morning or evening by the time the food was delivered to him. However, the reality was cruel. Almost every day when he woke up, he would find an extra bowl and chopsticks and food in his cell.

Therefore, he could not judge whether it was morning, noon or evening by the time the experimenters fed him food.

While lying in bed waiting for the takeaway to be delivered, Ji Minghuan stared at the ceiling with his hands behind his head in a daze, and suddenly thought of the accident that Gu Wenyu's mother had encountered.

Use the video software on your mobile phone to learn about the only member of the superpower organization "Rainbow Wing" whose identity is publicly disclosed.

"Sail Holly" is the only member of Rainbow Wing that has been announced to the world.

If you ask why he can be special in such an organization, it is because his special abilities are too exaggerated. Every time he appears, it is accompanied by an extremely grand scene. He cannot hide it even if he wants to, and he only reveals his identity because he has no choice.

The first time "Sail Holly" appeared in front of the world was when a meteorite from outer space was about to hit the capital of Lijing.

At that time, he relied on his special ability "Li Qing Boat" to intercept the meteorite in mid-air, thus saving the city from dire straits.

Ji Minghuan searched for keywords such as "meteorite" and "rainbow wings" and clicked on the video that recorded the images of that time.

A sudden sonic boom echoed through the night, trailing a trail of flames as the meteorite tore through the sky and plummeted towards the city. The heat from its rapid descent transformed it into a massive fireball. As people stared at the meteorite about to plummet into the city, hoarse cries rose and fell, drowning out the entire Lijing Square.

At this moment, a huge, floating dragon boat suddenly appeared in a corner of the night sky, slowly sailing under the dark sky.

The reporter's camera zoomed in, focusing on the dragon boat. Lanterns and castanets hung from it, and giant men in ancient robes rowed back and forth. The oars twisted and spun, sending a rustling sound through the air. The rich, blood-red glow of the lanterns cast a shadow downward, obscuring the sky and the sun.

As the oars stirred the air, the castanets attached to the surface of the dragon boat opened and closed, crackling. The whirring sound of the swaying lanterns, the crackling sound of the giants rowing the oars, and the cheerful and rhythmic beat of the castanets, a series of chaotic sounds mixed together naturally, converging into a magnificent piece of music that resounded over the capital and spread in all directions.

After that, it seemed that because the scene was too intense, the filming equipment was affected by electromagnetic interference and lost the signal: there was only a jumping black and white snowflake noise in the video, and a hoarse noise was heard from time to time.

No matter what, from that day on, Fan Dongqing became the first Rainbow Wing member in the world to publicly disclose his identity and abilities, but the other eleven members remained hidden behind the scenes - perhaps only the top figures in the United Nations had the right to know their identities.

After watching the video, Ji Minghuan silently turned off his phone.

He thought, "If I want to know who killed Gu Wenyu's mother, I have to find a way to get into Rainbow Wing and become one of them. Or I can change my route and become a top politician - but the feasibility of this path is too low, so I don't need to consider it."

Bored, Ji Minghuan traced his memories and found Gu Wenyu's hidden mask and a long black trench coat in the corner of the room. In the game's character setting, Gu Wenyu is a complete chuunibyou (a boy with a chuunibyou complex). He has all the usual adolescent thoughts, but he hides them well. In fact, even before awakening his supernatural powers, he spent years meticulously designing his own "battle suit" and mask.

But in the month after awakening his superpowers, perhaps because he was not familiar enough with the control of his superpowers, Gu Wenyu never had the chance to wear these things in public.

"This workmanship is so crude! I'd rather have done it myself." Ji Minghuan looked at the pitch-black mask in his hand and smacked his lips. The eye sockets of the mask were blood-red, but the rest was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly. He put the mask and windbreaker away and placed them at the bottom of the wardrobe. "Keep them for now... maybe they'll be needed someday."

Before he knew it, the clock had already moved to ten o'clock in the evening. After dinner, Ji Minghuan threw away the garbage bags in his room and the living room, took a shower, and lay down on the bed.

Gu Qinye said that he had something to do and would not be back tonight, but he did not expect that Gu Qinye would not come home so late.

Being bored, Ji Minghuan took the remote control to turn on the TV in the room and switched to the news channel.

The host was reporting a piece of news, saying that a criminal with superpowers code-named "Ghost Bell" appeared in Lijing City and made his criminal declaration public in the media. He spoke about his plan in a low metallic voice transformed by a voice changer, and also said that if the people of the Superpower Association had the guts, they would send the "Rainbow Wing" people to deal with him.

But even though he was provocative, the problem was that Hongyi had no time. Hongyi was recognized as the strongest organization of superpowers in the world and would only appear in critical situations. It was impossible for them to waste time on a single superpower criminal.

Unless this criminal is strong enough to massacre a city by himself, he will not be considered by them at all.

Ji Minghuan was watching TV and drinking hot water, and he was gradually feeling sleepy.

He felt a headache when he thought that his consciousness would return to the prison cell after waking up.

But when he thought of his mentor's promise that he would be able to see Kong Youling tomorrow, he suddenly felt a lot more at ease and fell obediently on the bed.

But just after he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a series of slight noises coming from the first floor of his house.

Someone opened the door, and the movement was very rapid - the hearing of people with special abilities is much sharper than that of ordinary people, and Ji Minghuan heard this.

He slowly stood up from the bed, but without turning on the light, he stretched out the restraints in the darkness and placed them on the floor.

We have just tested the skill "Restraint Senses" and confirmed that the sensory ability generated by this skill can indeed penetrate the barrier to observe the situation on the other side, and the "floor" is naturally included in the barrier.

Then as the restraints touched the floor, they slowly replaced Ji Minghuan's own senses, and his hearing and vision seeped through the wooden floor like water and fell downwards.

Then he had a clear view of the scene on the first floor of his home.

In the darkness, a man in a blue and cyan metallic uniform sat leaning against the wall. He removed his helmet, revealing a pale face. He placed it on the ground and raised his hand to cover the deep groove at his neck. Blood flowed like a curtain, staining his shoulder armor slightly red.

Ji Minghuan quietly observed the man's face through the senses of the restraints, and then raised his eyebrows with interest.

"So it's you..." he thought.

There is no doubt that the young man in front of him is Gu Qinye, otherwise it cannot explain why he has the key to the house.

The key at this moment lies in the metal uniform he is wearing and the helmet lying on the ground.

These are exactly the same as the appearance of a certain character that Ji Minghuan saw on TV today.

And the code name of that stranger...

——It’s called “Blue Arc”.

That was the alien with the ability to control lightning that Ji Minghuan saw on TV during the day.
