Chapter 152: Chapter 152

That’s way too shameless!

At this moment, the administrators who saw the message split into two camps—

The top-tier big shots like 6666 and 9999 were filled with deep shock and disbelief!

They were so stunned, they couldn’t come back to their senses for a long while!

Meanwhile, some average-numbered apartments with more ordinary-sighted administrators, aside from surprise and awe, felt mostly—

This 1010 guy—no, now he should be called the 4444 Administrator...

He’s d*mn shameless! Just begging for a beating!

So what if he beat 4444?

If someone didn’t know better, they’d think he’d just defeated an Apartment Boss, not an Administrator!

Administrators are high above players, so naturally their tempers aren’t great.

Immediately, a few admins from no-name apartments began angrily lashing out:

【It’s just one apartment fusion win, what the h*ll are you so arrogant for?!】

【“Trash-talking nonstop feels good”? Sounds like you think no one can deal with you now!】

【Let me ask you, do you even dare fuse with Apartments 6666 or 9999? @4444】

Jiang Ye looked at these and couldn’t help thinking—

4444 did have a point about one thing.

A frog in a well cannot discuss the ocean; a summer bug cannot discuss ice.

【Tsk tsk, then I guess I have to step in and correct you—】

【The question isn’t whether I dare to fuse with Apartments 6666 or 9999;】

【It’s whether 6666 or 9999 dare to fuse with me!】

【Well? @6666! @9999! Wanna use this chance to show off your big-shot presence?】

Still outrageously cocky!

That single post left all those no-name admins stunned!

But what shocked them even more was 9999’s response.

That kind of top-level big shot didn’t scold the newly crowned 4444 for being arrogant at all.

Even when directly provoked and mocked, he didn’t react strongly either.

It was like he was still mentally stuck on the announcement that 4444 had been replaced.

Then in the group, 9999 asked in barely concealed shock:

【You… how exactly did you do it? @4444】

【As far as I know, forget the administrator tier—even an Apartment Boss couldn’t take down 4444 within ten minutes!】

That message truly blew the minds of the no-name administrators!

Even an Apartment Boss couldn’t take down 4444 in ten minutes?!

How was that even possible?!

Then how did this new 4444 pull it off?!

It turned everything they knew upside down!

And what really shattered them came next—

9999: 【Unless—you used a Light-type ability and purified 4444?!】

All administrators are Dark-type Beings! How could they use Light-type abilities?!

Just as the group reeled in disbelief, another post appeared—

4869: 【I actually heard from a roaming merchant that there’s a special item called a “Skill Inscription Orb” which can store abilities.】

【Crushing the orb releases the stored ability.】

【So could it be that this new 4444 crushed a Skill Inscription Orb during the PK battle and released a Light-type ability stored in advance, flipping the fight at the last second?】

As soon as that message dropped, the other no-name admins exploded in outrage:

【Skill Inscription Orbs have to be made by having a player use the skill first, then an Engraver seals it into the orb! So that means this 1010 guy was working with a Light-type player?!】

【An administrator colluding with a Light-type player to take out his own kind?! That’s a huge taboo!】

【And a Dark-type using a Light-type Skill Orb? That’s suicide! One misstep and you’re toast too!】

【I get it now! It must’ve been Jiang Ye! He’s close with Huang Bo, so he probably gave the Light-type Skill Orb to 1010!】

【Now it makes sense why 1010 suddenly provoked 4444! He’d already partnered up with Jiang Ye! So this was a setup, just like 4869 guessed!】

Jiang Ye’s eyes lit up as he read this theory.

This was the first he’d heard of a handy item like the Skill Inscription Orb that stores abilities in advance.

This actually made a great cover for explaining how he killed 4444.

But just as he was thinking that, he saw 9999 post a technical explanation:

【Skill Inscription Orbs can indeed store skills in advance. They’re as easy to use as talismans in a cultivation novel.】

【But just like in those novels, Tier-1 talismans are easy to make, while Tier-9 ones are incredibly hard. The difficulty of a Skill Orb scales with the skill’s level.】

【The stronger the skill, the more complex the inscription, and the rarer the orb.】

【The orbs sold by the roaming merchant are all low-tier and pre-made. The merchant himself can only make low-tier ones.】

【Only veteran players from the Doomsday Apartment know how to craft high-tier Skill Orbs. They’re usually VIPs over there.】

【And since Apartment 0000 hasn’t opened yet, those people couldn’t possibly have entered the Beginner Apartments.】

【So are you saying a rookie on Day One of the Beginner Apartment already knows how to make high-tier Skill Orbs?】

【Also, from what I know, Light-type abilities are way too unique to be stored with inscription techniques alone!】

【Even the veteran bigshots in the Doomsday Apartment have tried storing Light-type skills before—and all failed!】

【Light might not be storable at all!】

【There’s no item in the entire Doomsday Apartment that can release Light-type powers!】

【Light-type abilities can only be used by someone with a natural Light-type Ability!】

These posts instantly rocked every administrator all over again!

No methods of borrowing Light-type power at all...

The unspoken implication was clear—

This new 4444 had used a Light-type ability himself?!

But that! That! How was that possible?!

Forget the ordinary admins—even 9999 couldn’t figure it out.

He posted again in the group:

【Do you possess a Light-type Ability? Or do you have some other means to lock onto a Death-State target and trigger a deeper SSS-tier death? @4444】

Jiang Ye thought to himself—

I actually do have a way to lock onto Death-State targets.

The S-tier Ultimate, Dice of Fate, didn’t work on Death-State 4444.

But later, his SS-tier ability Fate Thread did work.

So that meant, Ultimates stronger than S-tier could lock onto Death-State targets.

Meaning that if he could master both Prophecy and Fate Thread,

he might really be able to kill 4444 without ever using Light-type power.

But did he have any obligation to answer 9999?

4444: 【If you really wanna know, you can try fusing with my apartment yourself :) @9999】

After dropping that savage line, Jiang Ye figured 9999 wouldn’t actually try apartment fusion with him,

so he didn’t plan on wasting more words in the chat.

He was just about to refocus on the pure black cross—

When suddenly, a new message popped up from 0000, tagging him. Chapters fırst released on Nove1Fire.net
