Jiang Ye killed Jiang Ye;

A Replica killed another Replica…

To be honest, Jiang Ye had never tried it before—what would happen if a Replica killed a Replica.

But based on his earlier conversations with the White-Clad Woman, he had vaguely realized—

His Replicas were fully recognized by the Doomsday Apartment as independent player identities.

Given that setup, he had speculated whether a Replica killing another Replica might result in gaining Survival Points, just like player-versus-player kills.

But thinking more deeply about it, that seemed a bit too outrageous!

After all, if that were really the case…

Then if he generated a trash Replica with a garbage Ability,

couldn’t he just choose to kill that trash Replica?

Wouldn’t that mean the Survival Points he spent were effectively refunded?!

If that were true, he could generate Replicas without caring about luck at all!

Just mass-generate with one click, and if he wasn’t satisfied, recycle with another click.

One single Survival Point could be reused over and over!

Until he created a Replica he found useful!!

That…

That would be way too overpowered!

So Jiang Ye suspected that this kind of generation-and-recycle process had to come with a cost.

As for the idea of getting Survival Points just by killing a Threaded Puppet Replica?

Ten strands of hair equal one Survival Point—wouldn’t that just trigger inflation?

He felt like that couldn’t be possible.

After all, normal players didn’t get Survival Points from killing Threaded Puppets.

So Replicas killing Threaded Puppets probably didn’t get any either.

But normal players could get Survival Points for killing Replicas.

So a Replica killing a Replica should yield Survival Points too!

The logic behind Option 1 was basically following a hidden rule of the Doomsday Apartment.

This hidden rule applied to all players—so it naturally applied to Replicas.

In other words, when a regular player killed an Administrator, it was just like killing a player—they could get Survival Points!

Option 2 in the prompt, on the other hand, was clearly a bonus effect granted by his X-tier Ability Infinite Replication.

Replica Revival…

When Jiang Ye saw those four words, the first thing that popped into his mind was—

If he killed the Light-type Replica to collect the Kill-on-Sight Order reward…

Then revived the Light-type Replica afterwards…

Could he end up claiming the reward for free and keep the Light-type Replica alive?!

That kind of move was seriously over-the-top—it was hard to say if it’d work without testing.

And besides that insane but unconfirmed trick,

there was another uncertainty about Option 2 right now—

If he revived the Administrator,

would the revived version retain the original Administrator’s consciousness?

Or would it be like all of Jiang Ye’s Replicas—sharing consciousness with the main Jiang Ye?

If it was the former…

Then reviving him wouldn’t be much use.

He’d just have to kill the Administrator all over again.

But if it was the latter…

That meant Jiang Ye’s consciousness would completely take over the Administrator’s identity!

He wasn’t sure if the new Replica could inherit the Administrator’s memories, though.

As for the Administrator’s role…

Jiang Ye had already acquired Administrator privileges after killing him.

He just didn’t know if this replacement identity differed in any way from the “authentic” Administrator role.

There were a lot of details that couldn’t be confirmed.

But Jiang Ye didn’t hesitate about the two options.

He immediately chose Option 2—Replica Revival!

And while confirming the choice, he couldn’t help but imagine—

If the revived Replica inherited the Administrator’s consciousness,

then wouldn’t killing the Administrator again trigger a third “Jiang Ye kills Administrator” announcement in Apartment 1010?

Wouldn’t that totally fry his classmates’ brains?

The thought actually made Jiang Ye chuckle inside.

But then…

The moment the “Administrator” was revived,

a new system announcement rang out in the minds of Jiang Ye and every player in Apartment 1010.

And the content of it stunned everyone all over again!

【Beginner Apartment Announcement:】

【The Administrator of this Apartment has been perfectly resurrected!】

【Administrator role and privileges have been automatically returned to the original Administrator!】

Wait, what??

Forget about the clueless Small Fry classmates for a second.

Even Jiang Ye felt a little “蚌埠住” (so shocked he almost broke).

Sure enough, as he looked in the group chat—

His classmates were silent for a few moments, then suddenly exploded with messages:

【Wait, what?? Why does this feel… a little nuts??】

【No way?? This—this Administrator privilege has changed hands three f***ing times! Twice to Jiang Ye, once back to the Administrator—what kind of new feature is this?!】

【This—three straight announcements about Administrator privileges? I’m seriously fried! This is way too ridiculous! I don’t even know what to say anymore!】

【Okay, but maybe not that ridiculous! I was just thinking—based on what Yang Xiaoman described, the Administrator shouldn’t be that easy to kill!】

【Now that the Administrator’s revived, it proves I was right! Maybe he’ll even kill Jiang Ye now!】

Zhang Jintian had also totally frozen up when he heard the third announcement.

But then he suddenly remembered—

The Administrator had left behind a metal piece that ended up in his hands.

Now that the Administrator was revived… wouldn’t he want it back?!

And how could he possibly stand a chance against the Administrator?!

This… this…

Jiang Ye totally got him killed!!

Zhang Jintian was freaking out! He felt like he could drop dead any second!

Terrified the Administrator would silently come grab him next!

The Small Fry classmates all had their own shock and speculations.

But Jiang Ye’s attention quickly shifted to the Administrator’s point of view.

Yes—the Administrator’s perspective!

This revived Administrator had truly come back as a full-on Replica!

The revived Replica was completely stripped of the original Administrator’s consciousness.

In its place was the shared consciousness of the original Jiang Ye and his Replicas!

And that meant this was a true, unified Replica!

Once he realized that, Jiang Ye had no reason to kill the Administrator Replica again.

He immediately opened the Data Panel from the Administrator’s point of view—

And what he saw there stunned him completely!

【Luo Qi】

【Privilege Role: A1010 Administrator】

【Level: 10】

【Stamina: 100】

【Energy: 100】

【Combat Power: 5212】

【Survival Points: 108】

【Abilities: Dark Element Affinity (S), Fire Element Affinity (A)】

【Skills: Gate of the Underworld (S), Spirit-Binding Puppet (S), Shadowfang Devourer (S), Abyssal Freeze (A), Shadow Veil (A), Shadow Pulse (A), Shadow Replica (A), Shadow Step (B), Ice-Blue Flame (A), Heatwave Scorch (A), Explosive Flame Arrow (B), Fire Serpent Bind (B) >> Click to expand more】

【Glyph Pattern: Gluttonous Body (Tier 3), Fleshweaving (Tier 1)】

This…

This Data Panel! It was downright dazzling!

What surprised Jiang Ye the most was—

The Administrator’s Stamina and Energy were seemingly capped at 100 points.

Yet even so…

His Combat Power still reached over 5000!

For an average player, reaching 100 Stamina and Energy would only result in just barely breaking 1000 CP.

The reason the Administrator could hit such a high number—

had to be due to his Abilities, Skills, and Glyph Pattern powers.

Two Affinities: one S-tier, one A-tier.

The sheer number of skills alone was eye-watering!

In battle, he definitely wasn’t short on offense.

What’s more, the Dark-type skill Gate of the Underworld unusually contained spatial movement capability;

Spirit-Binding Puppet and Abyssal Freeze both included illusion-type attack effects!

You could say he had offense, defense, and support—complete across the board!

And what the Administrator seemed to rely on the most was his Tier-3 Glyph Pattern ability—Gluttonous Body.

This Glyph Pattern ability, like Fleshweaving, depended heavily on how the player developed and utilized it.

Its effect was: the fusion of existing entities.

After fusion, the entity would be automatically transformed into one of the player’s abilities.

For example, the Administrator’s Tier-3 Gluttonous Body had already undergone three fusions.

The first fusion was with his giant axe.

As a result, he wielded it as effortlessly as someone with S-tier Axe Mastery, like an extension of his own limbs.

The power he unleashed was close to 200%.

And when he enlarged the axe during combat, its power could reach 800%!

Of course, enlarging the axe drained a huge amount of Stamina.

But it didn’t matter, because the second fusion target of Gluttonous Body was large quantities of biological flesh.

That fusion granted him an unbelievably powerful body.

If a regular team of players tried to kill him,

without some god-tier attack strategy, they probably couldn’t even break his flesh defenses!

If not for Jiang Ye’s Entropy Scythe…

The Administrator’s terrifying physique wouldn’t have been scared of anything.

The third fusion of Gluttonous Body was the Hellfire Red Lotus.

That became the Administrator’s strongest offensive method.

Its fearsome flame was nearly on par with a Concept-Level offensive ability.

Under heavy assault, it could even destroy an entire apartment.

However, it was also because of the Hellfire Red Lotus that the Administrator’s Glyph Pattern power stalled at Tier 3.

Why?

Because each advancement of Gluttonous Body required fusing with a stronger entity than the previous one.

Which meant—to ascend to Tier 4, he had to find something even stronger than Hellfire Red Lotus.

But finding something more powerful than Hellfire Red Lotus was incredibly difficult.

Worse yet, the fusion process wasn’t without risk.

If the fusion target was too powerful, he might not be able to withstand it—

and die instantly from overload!

From fragmented memories, Jiang Ye learned that when the Administrator fused with Hellfire Red Lotus,

he nearly died—literally brushing shoulders with death.

More precisely, he truly walked through the gates of Hell!

Surviving was pure luck!

Which made it all the more difficult for this ability to advance any further.

It would require serious preparation and the right opportunities.

Oh, right.

Jiang Ye inherited the Administrator’s memories.

But not with some omniscient perspective.

It was quite different from how normal people remember things.

The Administrator’s experiences didn’t appear in Jiang Ye’s mind as a continuous movie.

Instead, they were like scattered image fragments—

many blurry and broken, chaotic and disjointed.

Trying to extract solid info from them was a hassle.

Still, having fragmented memories was better than nothing.

Jiang Ye was already satisfied.

Not to mention—the revived Administrator still carried 108 Survival Points!!

This! This was insane!

It was like he got 108 Survival Points for free!

That surprise made him want to immediately drag Wu Ying over and kill him too.

Then revive him—and voilà, another jackpot?!

And with Replica Swap,

after killing and reviving Wu Ying, he could swap him back.

Which meant…

He could use Wu Ying’s identity to infiltrate the Duoe Organization inside the Doomsday Apartment!

One group of Replicas swaggering around the Beginner Apartment;

another secretly carving out territory within the Doomsday Apartment!

That image—too tempting for words!

Just imagining it made Jiang Ye’s heart race!

But as bold as it was, he ultimately didn’t dare to execute the plan rashly.

His earlier Replica Swap on the fake Administrator worked because he staged it like a divine capture,

creating the illusion that some god-tier ability had dragged the Administrator into a sealed space.

But trying that directly on Wu Ying, who was deep inside the Duoe Organization…

There was no guarantee old players wouldn’t catch on.

And if Wu Ying had any trump cards of his own,

it could derail the whole operation.

So…

Infiltrating the Doomsday Apartment through Wu Ying’s identity could wait.

For now, Jiang Ye’s top priority was still his main body in the Personal Instance.

He had come to kill the Administrator partly to test whether Administrator privileges would help him clear the instance.

And now, from the Administrator Replica’s perspective—beyond the flashy Data Panel—

he also had exclusive Administrator functions that regular players didn’t!

In the Player UI, you could view the Apartment Group Chat and the Apartment Ranking Board.

But in the Administrator’s UI, you also had access to the A-Zone Apartment Group, A-Zone Combat Rankings, and A-Zone Trade Channel!

In the A-Zone Apartment Group, the member list showed all apartment numbers from 0000 to 9999!

Some numbers were grayed out, probably due to apartment fusion resulting in the loss of those Administrator slots.

The A-Zone Combat Rankings displayed only 100 entries—apparently ranked by Administrator Combat Power.

And the #1 rank wasn’t held by the 9999 Administrator, as most players assumed…

It was the 0000 Administrator.

#2 was the 6666 Administrator.

The 9999 Administrator only ranked third.

The 4444 Administrator was eighth.

And Jiang Ye—who just took over as the 1010 Administrator…

didn’t even make the list!

With over 5000 Combat Power and still not ranked…

it was clear just how monstrously strong the other Administrators were!

Their Glyph Patterns must’ve reached Tier 4!

Their innate Abilities had to be insanely powerful!

Jiang Ye wasn’t familiar with these Administrators, so he only glanced over the rankings.

Next was the A-Zone Trade Channel—a one-on-one trading area exclusively for Administrators.

The items traded here were far superior to anything offered in the player-accessible High-End Mall or in the Golden-Tier Duel Machine’s Exchange List!

Items like Golden-Tier Attribute Fruits, which couldn’t even be found in the Exchange List, were right here!

But naturally, these top-tier items weren’t traded with Game Coins—

they were almost entirely exchanged with Survival Points!

Jiang Ye wasn’t willing to spend his Survival Points yet,

so he just gave it a quick look and switched back to the chat channel.
