Don’t even ntion that the classroom test site was on the first floor.
Even if it were on the third floor, with Jiang Ye’s attributes, jumping out the window wouldn’t be a problem.
However, the mont he jumped—
He clearly felt a... bizarre and strange sense of fear!
And that feeling... was oddly familiar—
Back at the ruins of the White-Clad Woman’s apartnt, he had tried to explore the surrounding mist.
And when his Replica got close to the mist, he felt this sa bizarre and strange fear...
Jiang Ye didn’t have ti to think further before the scene around him changed.
At the sa ti, a prompt echoed in his mind:
【Congratulations on completing your exclusive first test: Classroom】
【Ti taken: 48 seconds】
【Test reward: 1 Survival Point】
【Test Rating: D-】
【Congratulations! You've received a reward: Bronze Treasure Chest ×1!】
【Keep up the good work and keep striving!】
Huh?!
No way?!
WTF??
That’s it, I passed?!
That simple??
If that’s the case...
Leaving the classroom was the way to clear the 【First Test: Classroom】!
However, while inspecting the new environnt and reviewing the prompt, Jiang Ye couldn’t feel happy at all!
Because he realized—
【First Test: Classroom】 was most likely a pure bonus round!
The correct way to clear it should have been to stay in the classroom and rack up as many Survival Points as possible!
But he left the classroom right away without figuring things out first!
As a result, he only got 1 Survival Point, and a D- rating for the first test...
Dmn it! That’s a total rip-off! Can he restart?!
Jiang Ye felt helpless and speechless inside.
At the sa ti, a question popped up in his mind—
Why did the test content line up with the previous Illusion?
If he hadn’t experienced that Illusion before, would the test still have been like this?
But then again, the previous Illusion was also modeled after his real-life test site...
So, is the setup of the exclusive personal instance based on personal circumstances?
Jiang Ye couldn’t figure it out, and the first test was already over—there was no going back.
No matter how speechless or regretful he felt, all he could do was look forward.
His attention quickly shifted to the second test.
Like the first one, the second test ca with no prompts.
But based on his experience, the goal this ti should also be to escape the enclosed space.
Yeah, enclosed space.
He was in a roughly 33*3 cubic sealed room.
About the size of a small bedroom in a regular ho.
But all six surfaces of the space were black, with no windows or doors.
Only the wall behind him had a light screen.
That light screen was the only source of illumination in this dark space.
Last ti, he missed out on tons of rewards due to hesitation.
This ti, Jiang Ye imdiately walked over to check the screen.
What he saw was just a few lines of information—
【Prison ID: 2025】
【Criminal: Jiang Ye】
【Cri: Intentional Murder】
【Sentence: Death with reprieve (Countdown: 480 days)】
So...
First test was the classroom, second test is a prison?
He could leave the classroom easily.
But this prison...
It’s sealed tight on all sides, and the flooring isn’t suitable for digging a tunnel.
There isn’t even a toilet.
How’s he supposed to leave?
Or maybe soone will co deliver food at certain tis?
Or is there a way to apply to use the bathroom?
With those thoughts, Jiang Ye began to fumble and experint with the light screen, the only thing in the room.
But the screen only displayed information and had no interactive options.
Jiang Ye could only study the displayed info—
2025 just happened to be his Apartnt number;
“Intentional Murder” probably referred to him killing Teacher Zhou in the first test;
“Death with reprieve, 480 days” was likely the ti limit for clearing the second test.
But the whole Beginner Apartnt only lasts 10 days, and this second test gives him a whopping 480 days?
Must be that ti flows differently in the test instance than in the Apartnt?
480...
His first test took exactly 48 seconds...
So maybe, the faster you clear the first test, the more ti you get in the second?
Probably also tied to the number of kills?
So even though his first test rating was low, he still earned more ti for this one?
And then...
Looking at the “Countdown: 480 days” on the screen, Jiang Ye suddenly thought—
His ability was that besides Survival Points, he could generate one new Replica per day.
So over this 480-day countdown, could he generate new Replicas as the days passed?
Even the S-tier skill 【Soul Link】 was showing on his Data Panel now...
So could he use this countdown to test that crazy theory of his?
See if his Replicas could also generate new Replicas each day?
With that in mind, Jiang Ye imdiately used the Survival Point he earned from the first test.
Soon, a new Blackened Replica appeared in the sealed space—
【Lin Gu】
【Level: 0】
【Stamina: 1.2】
【Energy: 1.6】
【Combat Power: 0.8】
【Survival Points: 0】
【Ability: Vision Enhancent (F)】
...
???
Seriously?
That’s it?
What the h*ll? What’s this Replica even good for?
Too lonely to serve ti alone, so now he’s got a chat buddy?
But the problem is—this guy is basically him!
Talking to himself—how is that different from just monologuing?
Jiang Ye was instantly speechless, but quickly put the Vision-Enhanced Replica to work, checking for any hidden details.
anwhile—
Inside the Void Mirror Palace.
The Light-type Replica, anxious and uneasy, did sothing bold out of worry for the Main Body.
Earlier, when the Light-type went crazy and wrecked stuff, it was because he’d lost contact with the Main Body and couldn’t use 【Replica Fusion】.
Now, although he still couldn't reach the Main Body—
Thanks to the S-tier skill, even a Replica could use 【Replica Fusion】.
So, the Replica made a bold move—
First, Replica No. 5, the Dark-type, returned to Room 2025’s storage room.
Then Replica No. 6, the Light-type, directly fused into Replica No. 5!
Now on Replica No. 5’s Data Panel, the na still read “Qu Xing”.
But in the Ability section, it showed—
【Ability: Dark Elent Affinity (SS), Light Elent Affinity (SS)】
Light and dark, two completely opposing abilities, appearing on the sa data panel!
Jiang Ye was sure—if anyone else saw that data panel, they’d be so shocked their jaws would drop!
Even the other Light-types had said Dark-type beings couldn’t awaken Light-type abilities.
So this combo might be sothing only Jiang Ye could pull off.
He wasn’t just ssing around either.
The mont the fusion began, Replica No. 5 used Shadow Replica to ensure he wouldn’t be detected.
Then, right there in the storage room, he used 【Holy Purification】.
Holy Purification removes curses and doesn’t deal damage.
But to Dark-type beings, it adds Light Curse and Light Scorch effects.
Jiang Ye was just playing it safe.
And after casting Holy Purification, nothing unusual happened in the storage room.
So chances were high that the Main Body really had entered the exclusive instance.
Still, the Replicas couldn’t relax.
Replica No. 2, who handled the Duels, ignored new arrival Li Aoliang in Apartnt 9999 completely.
Instead, he entered the Golden-Tier Duel Machine and started redeeming various Attribute Fruits from the exchange list.
anwhile, Replica No. 1, who’d returned to the apartnt ruins, pulled out the glass bead used to contact the White-Clad Woman and urgently said:
“Calling White-Clad Woman, calling White-Clad Woman! Ergency! Code Red!”
He had just made the call when the glass bead imdiately transmitted the White-Clad Woman’s warning voice:
“Shut up! Don’t call White-Clad Woman! That’s unlucky!”
“When you accepted the mission, didn’t you hear my na?”
Of course Jiang Ye had heard it before, so he smoothly changed how he addressed her: “I rember, your na is... Yinsu, right?”
“But if white is unlucky, why are you still wearing white?”
Soon, the voice from the glass bead ca again—not from the White-Clad Woman, but Yinsu:
“That’s only in the eyes of humans, who can only perceive white. From my own perspective, I’m not wearing white at all.”
Not white? Then is it red or sothing?
But now wasn’t the ti to discuss that.
Yinsu got straight to the point: “I’m busy. If you’ve got sothing urgent, speak up.”
Jiang Ye had contacted the White-Clad Woman mainly about the agreent with Ouyang—to have her help kill the Administrator.
But there were clearly so issues on Ouyang’s side.
Since Jiang Ye hadn’t decided yet, he first asked the truly urgent matter:
“So here’s the thing, Yinsu—”
“You know about our exclusive personal instances, right?”
Yinsu replied in a cold, direct tone: “Of course I know. Personal instances are considered a kind of player benefit.”
Whew. Jiang Ye let out a sigh of relief, then hurried to explain:
“You know I’m a Replica, right?”
“And just now, my Main Body entered the personal instance and then lost all connection with us Replicas...”
He hadn’t even gotten to the question before—
Yinsu’s shocked voice ca straight out of the bead:
“Wait, your Replica... is seriously that strange?”
“I’ve seen players with Replica-type abilities in my own Newbie Apartnt run.”
“But usually, when the player enters their personal instance, the Replica enters simultaneously.”
“Yet your Replica didn’t go into the instance with the Main Body...”
Even the White-Clad Woman seed a bit stumped by this.
But soon, she analyzed it for Jiang Ye:
“Maybe, according to the Doomsday Apartnt’s criteria, you’re not considered a Replica but an independent entity, an independent player.”
“Normally, killing a Replica wouldn’t earn Survival Points.”
“But based on how the Doomsday Apartnt classifies you, soone killing you might actually get Survival Points.”
As soon as she said that, Jiang Ye instantly realized—
His earlier idea about killing the Light-type Replica for a Kill-on-Sight Order reward... might actually work!
But the imdiate issue was still the Main Body.
So Jiang Ye quickly added:
“The problem now is, my Main Body doesn’t have much power. Without help from Replicas, can he even pass the personal instance?”
There was a pause from the glass bead, then Yinsu spoke again:
“You can try having a Replica attempt to enter the personal instance.”
Jiang Ye was about to say he had tried that before—only the Main Body could go in.
But on second thought, now that the Main Body was already inside, maybe things had changed?
So, while Replica No. 1 said “I’ll try when I get the chance,”
on the other end, Replica No. 5, the Dark-type, ended the fusion with the Light-type and once again touched that hidden back panel.
And this ti—he actually triggered sothing new!
From the perspective of the remaining five Replicas, they felt—
In that instant, Replica No. 5 also went out of contact!
So that ans, after the Main Body enters the personal instance, Replicas can choose on their own whether or not to follow in?!
Realizing this, the remaining five Replicas felt much more at ease.
After all, Replica No. 5 was powerful and should be able to assist the Main Body to so extent.
And sure enough—
Once Replica No. 5 entered the personal instance, what he saw was the sa exam classroom, with Teacher Zhou’s body lying in a pool of blood.
Outside the classroom, the sa students passing by, the noisy screaming, and the chatter.
When the Main Body had experienced this scene, he was totally confused and at a loss.
But Replica No. 5 was different.
The mont he entered the personal instance, his mory synced with the Main Body’s!
He instantly knew the Main Body’s rating in the first test and the experiences from the second test.
He could even share the Main Body’s vision!
At the sa ti, the Main Body—who had been exploring the second test’s prison—also imdiately received Replica No. 5’s mories.
Learning that his Replica could enter the personal instance later than the Main Body, Jiang Ye was instantly overjoyed!
Just monts ago, he’d been regretting whether he could redo the first test.
Now it was basically like the Replica was redoing the first test for him!
Ard with the Main Body’s experience, Replica No. 5 faced the first test with calm composure.
When the teacher entered the classroom trying to restrain him—
The Dark-type Replica didn’t hesitate. He raised a hand and twisted the teacher’s neck!
He glanced at the Data Panel—
Sure enough, Survival Points 1!
From the previous 1 point, now 2 points!
Noticing this, Jiang Ye quickly realized—
The Survival Points inside the personal instance likely weren’t “real.”
Because Teacher Zhou’s kill was counted under both the Main Body and Replica No. 5.
That clearly didn’t add up.
So the Survival Points must be system-generated—so sort of virtual score.
Which ant that any Replicas generated using these virtual Survival Points were likely virtual too.
Still, these virtual points must be critical to the entire test!
While thinking, the Dark-type Replica went ahead and twisted the neck of another teacher.
anwhile, even louder screams echoed from outside the classroom.
The students were so terrified they didn’t even dare peek—they all scattered in fear.
Only a few teachers, still at so distance from the back door, tried nervously and cautiously to talk him down.
Farther away, so teachers were calling the police.
Since completion ti seed to be part of the rating system, Jiang Ye had no patience to wait for them to enter the classroom.
But he couldn’t leave the classroom either—
Because once he left, it would count as clearing the test.
So he summoned a Shadow Puppet, intending to send it out to continue the slaughter.
However, the Shadow Puppet saw no students or teachers upon leaving the classroom—
Only a sea of mist!
Which ant...
He couldn’t leave the classroom to kill anyone!
He had to lure them inside first!
But his decisiveness in killing had already scared off the teachers and students outside.
No one dared step foot into the classroom again.
If anyone did show up, it’d probably be Uncle Hat...
But waiting around would just waste precious ti!
Weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Ye decided to have Replica No. 5 also exit the classroom and clear the first test.
But to gather more information, instead of jumping out the window, Replica No. 5 left through the back door.
Sure enough, just like with the Main Body, the mont he stepped out, a prompt sounded in his mind.
