He spoke those words casually.
Yet Zhou Yuling was utterly shocked!
Damn, this kid...
Actually knew about her recruiting 9,999 followers!
Which obviously ant he'd also recognized her true identity!
Truthfully, her high-profile recruitnt in the Doomsday Apartnt couldn't possibly be a secret.
But wasn't this kid from the Novice Apartnt?
So he must have connections in the Doomsday Apartnt too?
After brief consideration, Zhou Yuling decided to drop pretense and stated directly:
"Since you already know about my 9,999 followers, then you should also know—"
"My target is the Court of Disorder."
Jiang Ye nodded while analyzing:
"I've heard players say the [Court of Disorder] is like an intelligence-based challenge dungeon."
"Rumor says the final reward is incredibly rich, but no player has ever obtained it."
Zhou Yuling raised an eyebrow and corrected:
"The Court of Disorder's final reward isn't sothing you get just by 'clearing' it."
"This puzzle ga's difficulty scales with participant numbers."
"More players an higher difficulty and richer rewards."
"That's why I gathered 9,999 followers—10,000 including myself."
"I thought that would trigger the Court's maximum difficulty."
"But it didn't. So..."
Her gaze turned to Jiang Ye.
He continued her thought: "So you ca to ."
"If it truly requires 100,000 people to trigger your desired maximum difficulty..."
"Controlling 100,000 alone would be impossible."
"But if my clones provide 90,000..."
"You'd only need to control along with your 9,999 followers."
Zhou Yuling's raised eyebrow acknowledged his deduction.
However—
Jiang Ye mirrored her expression skeptically:
"But how can you be sure you'll still control after I create 90,000 clones?"
Zhou Yuling chuckled lightly: "Oh? Worried you'll lose control?"
"In that case, you're welco to try."
Her confidence was palpable.
Jiang Ye understood why—
The Jade Book she gave him recorded an A-grade skill: [Puppet Clones].
His limitation in controlling nurous clones stemd from insufficient ntal attributes.
Each clone he normally created possessed his full consciousness—living duplicates.
But [Puppet Clones] generated "mindless" automatons.
Not entirely mindless, more like AI-driven.
Like ga characters set to "auto-play" following preset algorithms.
They'd likely behave like the [chanical Undead] versions of Yang Wenchao and Wan Xin in the Reincarnation Graveyard—
Extrely dumb.
Yet stupidity had advantages.
Dumb puppet clones wouldn't strain Jiang Ye's ntal capacity.
Though their actions could still be vaguely influenced, the control difference between puppets and true clones was vast—
Like comparing command-driven AI robots to actual humans.
No wonder Zhou Yuling was confident—
What trouble could 90,000 dumb puppets cause?
Her own strength probably contributed too.
Not to ntion having Lin Ling as backup.
Jiang Ye wasn't foolish enough to directly challenge her confidence.
But upon deeper consideration, a chilling realization struck him.
His gaze sharpened as he frowned:
"One question—"
"While the Court's difficulty scales with player numbers..."
"Don't gas usually reveal difficulty only after starting?"
"If you tested with 10,000 people in the Court..."
"You couldn't have exited so quickly."
Moreover—
Wu Ying's clone among her followers confird she'd never taken them inside.
So how did she know 10,000 wasn't enough?
Was she lying?
Zhou Yuling understood his suspicion and smirked:
"Of course I didn't actually enter."
"Wasting ti discovering insufficiency would be foolish."
"So I used an item to predict beforehand."
"The prediction showed—10,000 wasn't enough."
Prediction?
Jiang Ye found this plausible.
Her thod probably resembled his yes/no questions to the Silent Tombstone.
Like asking:
"Would 10,000 people trigger the Court's maximum reward?"
But then he wondered—
What exactly was her prediction thod?
If it could reveal more details...
Would it foresee his potential betrayal with 90,000 puppets?
That level of foresight seed absurdly overpowered!
No wonder she was so confident!
As Jiang Ye's clone frowned, his No.1 clone suddenly exhaled heavily—
Just as the [Jade Book] in its hands shattered!
Disintegrating into glowing particles that vanished!
The stunned clone raised innocent hands:
"Not my fault! I did nothing!"
Zhou Yuling's eye twitched.
Jiang Ye realized: "Oh right, I just mastered [Puppet Clones]..."
"So the book shattered?"
"One-ti use item? Must've been valuable."
Her twitching intensified: "This is your... diocre comprehension?"
Jiang Ye nodded seriously: "Truly diocre."
"Must've gotten lucky with sudden enlightennt?"
Enlightennt my ass!
Zhou Yuling nearly cursed.
She'd given him 10 minutes hoping for basic progress—
Enough to indicate eventual mastery within hours.
Instead?
The bastard mastered it in under 3 minutes!
This wasn't diocre—this was A-grade comprehension talent!
Before she could speak, Clone No.1 exclaid excitedly:
"This feels incredible!"
"rchants told only my main body could learn clone skills!"
"Yet a clone just learned one!"
"Isn't that insane?"
Zhou Yuling deadpanned: "Did you think that book was so common trash?"
"Have you ever seen skill scrolls that guarantee specific skills?"
"Scrolls give random compatible skills. Books guarantee targeted learning!"
"More absurdly—"
"Players with supre comprehension can learn mismatched skills!"
"For example—hypothetically—"
"If light-elent skill books existed..."
"An SSS-grade genius might learn light magic without affinity!"
"Of course, that's theoretical."
"In reality, no light books or SSS talents exist..."
"My point is—that [Puppet Clones] book was obscenely expensive!"
"You got an insane freebie!"
Jiang Ye nodded eagerly:
"So helping you with 90,000 clones isn't optional."
As Zhou Yuling smugly agreed, Jiang Ye suddenly gazed at her intensely:
"But sis... I forgot to ntion sothing—"
"Creating clones costs Survival Points..."
"One clone = 1 point :)"
