“Guaranteed delivery within three seconds?

D*mn, this Silver Courier Box is insane!

But that price though—crazy!

It’s just sending a package, yet it costs 100,000 game coins?!

That means anything sent with this box must be worth at least a million, maybe even tens of millions, right?

And even then, it’s not 100% safe.

It just says the chance of losing a delivery is extremely low.

But ‘extremely low’ doesn’t mean zero.

Plus…

What if someone specifically targets Silver Courier Boxes for a robbery? They could walk away with tens of millions worth of items in one hit!

Jiang Ye couldn’t help but feel tempted.

If only he had the ability to hijack one of these Silver Courier Boxes, he’d definitely go for it…

So yeah, it’s not exactly secure.

He figured he’d check if there was a Gold-tier Courier Box.

But—

He’d looked into it before.

Whether it was the High-End Mall in the Apartment, or the Duel Machine’s exchange list, the highest-tier items available right now were all Silver-tier.

So, no Gold-tier Courier Boxes either.

Too bad. Under normal circumstances, Jiang Ye would’ve thought twice about using something so expensive and risky.

But right now…

Replica 1 was way more important than some game coins!

After a brief moment of thought, Jiang Ye went ahead and bought a Silver Courier Box.

Next, he quickly started picking the items he was going to send.

Even though it was Replica 1 who was in danger, Jiang Ye had no idea where it actually was.

So, the package had to be sent to the main body instead.

And to help the main body save the replica, the focus had to be on Skill Scrolls.

If he could get something as powerful as Replica Fusion again…

Maybe that could turn things around for Replica 1.

Besides that…

He’d also been thinking about his chances at getting a Hundred-Win Streak.

The big shots in Apartment 9999 made it sound like even a Ten-Win Streak was ridiculously hard.

Which had made Jiang Ye second-guess himself a bit.

At this stage, if it was just Replica 2 fused with Replica 3’s Mirror Replica,

then yeah, hitting a hundred wins would be tough.

Even ten wins might be a stretch.

Why?

Because Replica 3 hadn’t powered up yet!

Its skills like Frozen Domain and Frost Mist Invasion were solid,

but it was still Level 0 with only 58 Combat Power.

Sure, post-fusion power isn’t just a simple 1+1…

But what if…

Replica 3 had all its attributes over 10 and hit over 100 in Combat Power?

Or crazier—

What if it reached 500 Combat Power?!

Then he could use Replica 2 to match with someone around 50 Combat Power,

fuse with a 500 Combat Power replica…

Even if the final result was just a bit over 500…

That’s still 500 vs. 50!

Holy sh*t!!

Just thinking about it made him want to laugh out loud.

Using this trick, Jiang Ye could basically cheat his way through Win Streaks!

He just needed the active replica to be weak enough,

and the one for fusion to be super strong.

It’d be like a small fry suddenly getting possessed by a god in battle!

With this method, hitting a Hundred-Win Streak would be a breeze!

He might even beat Lin Jing to it!

What’s that? The Madman Mask is super rare?

Well, if all his replicas could go on Win Streaks…

Then he could totally grind out a bunch of Madman Masks!

Sell the extras for cash if he wanted!

Just imagining it made him grin like an idiot.

So aside from the Skill Scrolls for the main body,

he also packed items for boosting Replica 3.

What happened with Replica 1 made Jiang Ye realize—

Every replica should be trained to stand on its own.

He couldn’t just rely on Replica Fusion all the time.

Sure, Replica Fusion was powerful and great for escaping tough situations,

but if it wasn’t for that bug with the Replica Reflection Mirror,

most of his replicas would be stuck in cooldown, unable to fuse again so soon.

That’s why he had to stop relying on items too much—

and instead train every single replica to be a top-tier fighter!

And so, Jiang Ye didn’t hesitate spending 50 million game coins!

First up: Skill Scrolls.

These cost even more than Attribute Fruits.

Bronze-Tier Scrolls started at 500,000,

while Silver-Tier ones went for a whopping 8 million each!

Clearly, Silver-Tier items were much more expensive than Bronze-Tier ones.

Same thing with Attribute Fruits.

But Jiang Ye believed that high prices meant high value.

After some quick math, he gritted his teeth and exchanged for:

2 Silver-Tier Skill Scrolls and 2 Bronze-Tier ones — 17 million spent!

Then, 6 Silver-Tier Attribute Fruits — 30 million!

That left him with less than 3 million.

Next: 10 Bronze-Tier Attribute Fruits — 1 million.

Then 20 Black Iron-Tier ones — 200,000.

Finally, a Silver-Tier Treasure Chest — 1.2 million.

Plus the Silver Courier Box…

Total spending: 49.5 million in one go!

Remaining balance? 520,000…

Just thinking about it made Jiang Ye feel nervous as he loaded the scrolls and fruits into the box.

Nearly 50 million worth of stuff in one shipment!

If anything happened to it—if someone managed to steal it somehow…

No! Pffft! Don’t jinx it!

He sealed the box tight, then filled in the delivery details.

After the Apartment Fusion, Apartment 1008 was renamed Apartment 1010.

Delivery address: Apartment 1010, Room 2025.

Recipient: Jiang Ye.

【Confirm all information is correct?】

【Confirm!】

【Send immediately? (You can set a delay if needed)】

【Confirm!】

And just like that…

The sleek, silver-colored high-tech Courier Box

vanished like a flash of light.

The instant it disappeared, both versions of Jiang Ye held their breath.

Thankfully, the God of Misfortune must’ve been taking a nap—

because less than three seconds later, the Courier Box materialized

right in the living room of the main body’s apartment!

Once Jiang Ye (main body) confirmed the recipient info and signed for the package,

he was still wondering if the box could be reused…

But nope—it blinked away like it never existed.

Jiang Ye didn’t dwell on it.

He’d moved fast enough.

Meanwhile, back with Replica 1,

the effect of Replica Fusion had just ended!

The good news: he leveled up to Level 3 before the fusion ended!

At the time, Jiang Ye had thought,

“D*mn, maybe Replica 1 is really gonna die after this…”

He even wondered if he could transfer that Level 3 to Replica 3 somehow.

But nope.

The rules of Replica Fusion had always been clear:

there’s a main replica and an auxiliary replica.

Only the main replica gets credit for leveling, win streaks, and kills.

Nothing transfers to the other.

Still, getting to Level 3 was something—his stats went up a bit.

So when the fusion ended, Replica 1 didn’t totally collapse.

He still had some ability to move.

But let’s be real—

that “mobility” was nothing compared to how powerful and agile he was during fusion with three replicas.

Then came a loud snap!

A tree spirit’s vine whipped across Replica 1’s body!

Good thing he was still wearing the protective gear he’d gotten from Huang Qi—

otherwise, that hit might’ve knocked him out cold!

Back in the main body’s apartment, Jiang Ye didn’t dare waste a second.

He still hadn’t given up on Replica 1, and instantly tore open a Silver-Tier Skill Scroll!

At the same time, Replica 3 remained standing in front of the Replica Reflection Mirror, continuing to create a Mirror Replica!

Thirty seconds!

As long as Replica 1 could last thirty more seconds, there was still hope!

But maybe Jiang Ye was a bit too anxious when he tore open the Skill Scroll.

This time, when the light from the scroll enveloped him, he didn’t get that intense flash of insight he was hoping for.

For a moment, Jiang Ye even wondered if he’d just hit one of those rare flukes—what if he didn’t learn anything at all?

Thankfully, when he opened his Data Panel, a new skill did appear.

But… it wasn’t the C-tier skill he’d been aiming for.

Instead, it was another D-tier skill, just like Replica Fusion:

[Shared Space (D)]

A shared Pocket Space accessible by all Replicas. Items carried by different Replicas can be instantly transferred via this space.

Huh…

Well, he couldn’t say the skill was bad.

At least it was better than Bai Ruowan’s Pocket Space.

At the very least, it meant that from now on, he wouldn’t need Silver Courier Boxes to pass items between Replicas.

He could just drop them in Shared Space, and any Replica could access them instantly.

But the problem was…

This skill didn’t solve the immediate crisis!

What, was he supposed to toss a Silver-Tier Attribute Fruit into Shared Space for Replica 1 to eat?

But those Attribute Fruits were meant for powering up Replica 3, to help Replica 2 rack up Win Streaks!

No time to overthink.

Jiang Ye took a deep breath to steady himself and refocus.

He wasn’t sure if mindset impacted skill comprehension when using Skill Scrolls,

but right now, he had no choice but to calm himself and fully absorb the radiance from the scroll.

This time, the sensation was way better!

His mind went crystal clear, and it felt like his consciousness had split into a thousand tendrils, reaching out to grasp something mysterious and profound.

But when he snapped back to the moment—

Replica 1 was barely holding on!

The Heart-Protection Jade he’d looted from Huang Qi even cracked open at that moment!

Replica 1 felt searing pain surge through his body.

And that pain once again shredded his “mobility,” making it nearly impossible to dodge the attacks from the Twisted Tree Spirits!

Worse still, these tree spirits seemed intelligent.

Earlier, they’d avoided him because of Frozen Domain and Frost Mist Invasion.

But now that he wasn’t using his Domain, and after taking a few clean hits with no icy retaliation,

they suddenly went berserk!

Their assault became brutal and relentless!

At this rate, Replica 1 wouldn’t last even a few more seconds!

And even if he downed an Attribute Fruit now, it probably wouldn’t make a difference!

Room 2064.

Yinsu lounged on the sofa, watching the screen showing the battered, powerless young man. She shook her head in disappointment.

Three minutes of Replica Fusion…

And that was his only trump card?

With this? He thinks he can kill an Apartment Boss?

Yinsu had seen Replica-based abilities before.

Jiang Ye’s only real novelty was that his Replicas had Player Panels, making it impossible to tell they were Replicas.

But strength-wise? Each one of them was weak as hell.

Sure, for doing Errands in the Apartment, acting harmless while hiding his strength, or playing multiple roles at once—his ability looked handy.

But in the Doomsday Apartment, it was never about jobs or schemes.

The only thing that mattered here… was power!

And this Replica’s “power” was way too soft.

Even a hundred, or ten thousand of him couldn’t shake a single hair on an Apartment Boss’s head.

Hell, he’d probably struggle against an Apartment Administrator.

Yinsu was clearly disappointed. She kept watching coldly, with zero intention of stepping in to help.

But then—

Just as the Twisted Tree Spirits launched a devastating blow toward the bloodied and faltering Jiang Ye…

He suddenly moved like a different person!

It was as if all his pain had vanished. His reaction speed skyrocketed.

Right before that whip struck, he moved like greased lightning—barely dodging the hit!

Whew…

Jiang Ye let out a hard exhale.

That dodge had been insanely close.

But then—

Replica 3’s Mirror Replica was finally complete and instantly fused!

Now the tide of battle began to shift.

Jiang Ye exhaled again, deep and steady.

As he dodged, he hurled out the Ghost Ring Blade, unleashed Frozen Domain, and dove back into battle with the Twisted Tree Spirits!

This time, it wasn’t as easy as when he’d fused with three Replicas before.

Still…

Even though his attributes weren’t as high this time—

With the help of Absolute Focus and Combat Stance,

his reflexes and combat instincts had clearly leveled up!

His footwork while dodging tree spirit attacks was smoother than ever.

That’s right!

The person now standing in the blood mist was no longer Replica 1—

but Replica 2!

Why? Simple—

Because Jiang Ye’s main body had just acquired a C-tier skill:

[Replica Swap (C)]

Allows you to designate two Replicas for a position swap. PS: In certain special environments, the swap may fail.

Jiang Ye didn’t know if the blood mist space where Replica 1 was counted as a “special environment,”

but he had no other options.

Originally, he’d planned to swap Replica 3 with Replica 1,

but Replica 3 was still busy in front of the Replica Reflection Mirror.

If he swapped now, the replication process would fail, costing another 30 seconds.

So instead, he chose Replica 2, who was far away in Apartment 9999.

Luckily, the swap succeeded!

Replica 2, with his Hard Work Pays Off passive, didn’t have the powerful offensive skills like Replica 3,

but his natural combat instincts were on another level!

In fact, Jiang Ye just realized that Replica 2’s Absolute Focus and Combat Stance

only reached their full potential when he was backed into a corner!

When it came to dodging the tree spirits’ attacks, it was freakishly effective!

Jiang Ye even thought he could use these tree spirits as sparring partners to boost his combat instincts further.

But too bad—there wasn’t enough time.

He still opted to finish things quickly!

Since Replica 2 was only Level 1, his mind kept pinging with notifications:

[You have defeated a Level 3 Twisted Tree Spirit! Gained +200 Energy Points!]

[Ding! You’ve leveled up to Level 2!]

[Stamina increased by 1 point!]

[Energy increased by 1 point!]

[You have defeated a Level 3 Twisted Tree Spirit! Gained +100 Energy Points!]
