This Zhang Minghan really was the type to go all in.
At his weakest, he could throw away all his pride, bend and stretch, looking like soone who had absolutely zero backbone.
And once he struggled to grow stronger and gained so power—he actually had the guts to give it all up and start over from scratch!
That’s right—start over!
After he vaguely sensed that there was sothing unusual about the Defenders, he started being extra attentive to that female Defender player.
And with the aggressive pursuit of this charming, experienced pretty boy, the female Defender naturally fell for him quickly.
Zhang Minghan got access to more secrets about the Defenders, and under that woman’s suggestion, he made a bold decision—cleansing his Glyph Pattern and cleansing his bones!
Wu Ying had also experienced Glyph cleansing.
But after that, Wu Ying simply re-bonded with a new little spirit and awakened a new Glyph Pattern Ability.
Zhang Minghan, however, went a step further after the cleansing—he underwent bone cleansing, a far more painful process.
Afterward, all traces of Dark-type aura were wiped clean from his body.
He transford from a Dark-type player into a non-Dark-type!
And as a non-Dark-type, he naturally beca eligible to join the Defenders’ Alliance.
What shocked Jiang Ye the most was—
The person who perford the Glyph and bone cleansing for Zhang Minghan… was actually the mysterious Spirit Nurturer from Wu Ying’s mory!
Yes, the one in the small shop numbered T-2025 on the 20th floor of the Doomsday Apartnt—the sa person Jiang Ye had t in Wu Ying’s form!
Jiang Ye had already suspected that the mysterious Spirit Nurturer was no ordinary character.
But he never imagined that this person had the ability to completely cleanse a player’s Dark affinity, reverting them back to a non-Dark-type!
From that perspective—
Wu Ying’s survival of the near-death Glyph cleansing might not have been due to luck after all.
It was more likely that the Spirit Nurturer’s skills were just absurdly powerful!
And if that weren’t enough…
The sa Spirit Nurturer appeared again in Zhang Minghan’s mories!
After turning himself into a non-Dark-type, Zhang Minghan naturally joined the Defenders’ Alliance.
It was only then that he truly ca into contact with the secrets of the Defenders.
The first thing that really intrigued him was—
Defenders didn’t have Glyph Pattern Abilities. Relying on talent alone, how could they be stronger than Dark-type players who did have Glyphs?
The answer was simple—through the use of the 【Feather of the Toothed Bird】 and Glyph Pattern tools!
The so-called 【Feather of the Toothed Bird】 was the sa black feather Zhang Minghan had used to extract Jiang Ye’s Glyph Pattern Ability during their fight.
Even a Ninth-Tier Glyph Pattern Ability could be absorbed without resistance.
Of course, the item wasn’t without limits.
It could only extract one Glyph Pattern Ability at a ti.
And it had a ti limit.
If it was used to absorb a Ninth-Tier Glyph Pattern Ability, the duration likely wouldn’t exceed three minutes.
But for anything below Tier 3, it could last for several hours.
For new players in the newbie apartnt, this tool was more than sufficient.
The fact that Zhang Minghan carried even one feather showed he was cautious.
If he’d carried more, Jiang Ye might’ve actually been screwed.
That said, the 【Feather of the Toothed Bird】 wasn’t a common item in the Defenders’ Alliance.
Zhang Minghan only got one because he looted the corpse of his Defender girlfriend.
Yes, after crawling through all kinds of hardship, Zhang Minghan understood better than anyone—
The fastest way to grow in the Doomsday Apartnt was to kill and loot!
Of course, that female Defender was loaded with resurrection items.
So it wasn’t easy to actually kill her and take her gear.
It took Zhang Minghan a ton of effort and precise planning to finally kill her in one strike.
Then he looted her body and got a bunch of benefits.
The feather was just one of them.
What he really drooled over was a card she had—【The Glyph Master’s Shop】.
It was precisely because he wanted that card so badly that he resolved to kill her.
【The Glyph Master’s Shop】—just like the 【Mask Master’s Shop】—was a special space one could enter using the card.
Once inside, Zhang Minghan could buy various Glyph Pattern tools!
These tools had effects similar to Glyph Pattern Abilities!
The difference was—
Awakening a Glyph Pattern Ability would turn the player into a Dark-type being.
And the process itself ca with heavy risks.
Glyph Pattern tools, on the other hand, were just items.
Using them didn’t turn a player into a Dark-type being.
And none of the risk was borne by the user.
Of course, they had downsides too.
Upgrading Glyph Pattern tools at the Glyph Master’s cost significantly more than developing Glyph Pattern Abilities the usual way.
And purchasing them was also more expensive than awakening new Glyphs through a Spirit Nurturer.
In short, Glyph Pattern Abilities and tools each had their pros and cons.
But with the existence of the 【Feather of the Toothed Bird】, the disadvantages of actual Glyph Pattern Abilities beca more obvious.
That’s why, even after all he paid to cleanse his Glyph and bones, Zhang Minghan didn’t regret becoming a Defender.
And when he used that 【Glyph Master’s Shop】 card to enter the shop—
He was shocked to find—
The shopkeeper—the so-called “Glyph Master”…
Was actually that sa mysterious Spirit Nurturer who helped him cleanse his Glyph and bones!
Later on, Zhang Minghan speculated that the Spirit Nurturer likely had clone abilities.
The one in the Glyph Master’s Shop was the real body;
And the one in the 20th floor T-2025 shop was just a clone.
Zhang Minghan was surprised, but quickly accepted that such a bigshot would set up a low-key monk-like clone in the slums.
As for Jiang Ye—once he learned this part of the mory, he felt a deep chill.
This… was just too many coincidences.
Up till now, he’d only transford into three clones.
One was Wu Ying, one was Ge Ge, and one was Zhang Minghan.
Ge Ge was a totally useless rookie—just an experint to test Qu Xing’s ability.
But the other two, both from the Doomsday Apartnt…
Just happened to be connected to the mysterious Spirit Nurturer—or rather, the “Glyph Master” now.
Both of them had mories involving the Glyph Master…
The Glyph Master’s shop was located at unit 2025 in the T section on the 20th floor…
And on top of that, the Glyph Master also seed to have clone abilities!
Were all these “coincidences” really just coincidences?
Jiang Ye was starting to feel a creeping dread the more he thought about it.
Especially since, back when he t the Glyph Master in Wu Ying’s form, he had this strange feeling—
Like the other guy had already seen through the fact that he wasn’t the real Wu Ying…
Now that he thought about it—maybe that wasn’t just a feeling.
Jiang Ye couldn’t say for sure whether these coincidences were good or bad for him.
But one thing was clear—he had to be even more careful now.
After what happened with Zhou Qiming, of course he had to wonder—
Was he, too, just a more advanced pawn?
Was it possible, like Zhou Qiming, that parts of his mory had been erased?
To be honest, Jiang Ye really wanted to use another 【Stone of This Life】 in his real identity, just to verify the completeness of his mories.
But he didn’t have many left.
And he wasn’t sure if it would even work when used by a clone.
If he didn’t actually have any missing mories—or if a clone couldn’t detect it—then he’d have wasted one.
So for now, he decided to wait until his real body ca out of the Personal Instance to use it.
Speaking of which, it was already past midnight. Jiang Ye’s clone was ready to finish sorting Zhang Minghan’s mories and then send another batch into the Personal Instance.
Logically, the main body should have released a clone after midnight to sync information with the outside.
But by the next day, no clone had appeared…
Could it be that inside the Personal Instance, his real body didn’t experience the midnight transition?
Or had sothing else gone wrong?
In any case, Jiang Ye quickly sorted Zhang Minghan’s mories and sent another batch of 20 fully enhanced level-10 clones into the Personal Instance.
The main body, upon receiving the clone’s concerns, would naturally send a clone out.
But if he received the ssage and still didn’t release one…
Then sothing might really have happened.
Right now, Jiang Ye had enough Survival Points to generate tens of thousands of clones.
Especially with the 【Enforcer Mask】 from Lin Ling, which he could pair with the 【Maniac Mask】 to farm even more Survival Points.
The only concern now was whether the main body could handle such a huge clone count…
If he carelessly created too many clones and the main body crashed or exploded from overload, that’d be pretty damn hilarious.
Still, since he couldn’t spam clones just yet, he could at least test that old fusion idea using the coffins in the Reincarnation Graveyard.
Coincidentally, the group Lin Ling brought had just left the underground graveyard.
So Clone No.1, Jiang Ye, headed back.
He planned to open the coffins for those clones inside, prepping for fusion.
anwhile, the 4444 Administrator clone stayed in the Reincarnation Graveyard, thinking about Guan He and the other Light-types’ plan to kill the Administrator—and how to handle his upcoming trade with the Wandering rchant.
Elsewhere, the Defender clone Zhang Minghan prepared to visit the 【Mask Master’s Shop】 to et the Mask Master.
The Dark-type clone Qu Xing began hunting down apartnt administrators.
And Huang Bo’s clone, who couldn’t reveal his Light-type identity, was now operating under the alias “Lu Renjia.”
His original plan was to set up clone anchors across multiple apartnts while assisting the Dark clone in killing admins.
But unexpectedly, just as “Lu Renjia” stepped out of Room 6996 in Apartnt 9669…
He ran into soone familiar.
