Chapter 200: Chapter 200
That guy's name was displayed as—Chen Cang.
Now that’s a familiar name.
Back in (Chapter 122), in Room 6996 of Apartment 9669, one of the players who blocked the entrance of the Void Mirror Palace and ganged up on the Light-type Replica was named "Chen Cang".
At the time, Chen Cang had left a strong impression on Jiang Ye because of his SS-tier Ability [Divine Favor].
However, back then, Chen Cang had shown up in the appearance of a bald man wearing a Disguise Mask.
So just now, Jiang Ye hadn’t recognized him right away.
But now, realizing it’s an old acquaintance, he followed the name down the panel...
And he went from slightly stunned to completely dumbfounded!
【Abilities: Divine Favor (SSS), Super Comprehension (SS), Wood Element Affinity (S), Dark Element Affinity (S), Blood Element Affinity (S), Spatial Element Affinity (A), Stamina Enhancement (A) >>Click to expand more】
【Skills: Protagonist Halo (SS), Non-action (S), Comeback in Despair (S), Small Blessing (S), Wall of Thorns (S), Wrath of Nature (S), Shadow Puppet (S), Shadow Curse (S), Shadow Replica (S), Blood Moon Domain (S), Blood Prison Contract (S), Boiling Blood Berserk (S) >>Click to expand more】
【Glyph Patterns: Bloodline Curse (Tier One), Misfortune Infection (Tier One), Organ Leasing (Tier One)】
What the h*ll?! This is nuts!
Combat Power nearly 4000!
That’s damn near catching up to the 1010 Administrator with dual-attribute 100s?!
And the most outrageous part—
When Jiang Ye previously scouted him, [Divine Favor] was still just an SS-tier Ability!
Now it had somehow become SSS-tier!!
This was probably the first SSS-tier Ability Jiang Ye had ever seen that belonged to someone else!
And this guy’s data panel, with just that SSS-tier [Divine Favor], was already breaking the system!
He even had an SS-tier Comprehension Ability! Dıscover more novels at novel-fire.net
You had to know, even Jiang Ye’s [Observer] Replica only had an S-tier Comprehension Ability!
And this guy had SS-tier!
Besides that, he had three S-tier Abilities!
Other A-tier and B-tier Abilities were basically raining down like freebies!!
And among his S-tier Abilities was one Jiang Ye had never even seen before—Blood-type Ability!
Plus, with just S-tier Dark-type Ability, he already had the skills [Shadow Puppet] and [Shadow Curse] that only Qu Xing’s SS-tier Ability had been able to unlock!!
Didn’t that mean he could also seal off others’ Glyph Pattern Abilities and Abilities?!
And as for Glyph Pattern Abilities, he had three!
Among them, Bloodline Curse was extremely rare and terrifying in effect!
What the h*ll! This is just! Absolutely insane?!!
But even compared to all this insanity...
What Jiang Ye really cared most about was the SS-tier Skill [Protagonist Halo].
It was a passive skill, and the effect was—
[Protagonist Halo]: You will be more likely to obtain lucky encounters; those who harbor malice toward you will meet a bad end; those who think kindly of you will have good fortune.
What the h*ll! That’s just too much!
If this guy’s data panel was just ridiculous, that’d be one thing...
But this absolutely busted [Protagonist Halo] actually worked on Jiang Ye?!
Well, just look at that dazzling panel! Who wouldn’t be jealous after seeing it?!
Jiang Ye practically had a wicked thought the instant he laid eyes on that ridiculous panel!
He subconsciously wanted to turn Chen Cang into his Replica, and make that god-tier panel his own!
And that wicked thought... isn’t that exactly “harboring malice”?!
Wouldn’t that instantly trigger [Protagonist Halo] and seal his fate to “meet a bad end”?!
So what now, he worked his a** off only to come back as the villain?!
Jiang Ye couldn’t help but wonder—
If he retracted the idea of turning Chen Cang into a Replica, and forced himself to think kindly of him, could he change the effect of [Protagonist Halo]?
But first of all, forcing a change of mindset isn’t so easy;
Just as he was being shaken to the core by Chen Cang’s data panel...
Chen Cang, who had been walking away like no one else existed, suddenly turned back toward him, as if sensing something.
And very deliberately gave him a smile.
It looked kind and friendly, but actually reeked of arrogance and superiority.
It was like he was taunting with that smile: What’s wrong? Jealous after seeing my stats? Come on, pick a fight!
How the h*ll was Jiang Ye supposed to force himself to twist his thoughts and feel kindly toward that smug little taunt??
And just as Jiang Ye was agonizing over whether the “bad end” effect of [Protagonist Halo] would kick in and when...
Lin Ling, who had been watching Chen Cang leave with a calm expression, also glanced at Replica No. 1 Jiang Ye, following the direction of Chen Cang’s smile.
Her probing skill instantly revealed that Jiang Ye had suddenly gained the [Eye of True Sight] Ability.
She was a little surprised, thought for a moment, then suddenly sneered:
“Tsk tsk, a bad end, huh...”
“Want me to help you get it over with early?”
Jiang Ye: “...” F*** your whole family, thanks!
Seeing that this woman actually looked like she was really about to make a move, Jiang Ye immediately waved his hand and said:
"I'm just a small fry, whether I meet a bad end or not doesn’t matter."
"What matters is—you’re looking for Lin Yu Hu, right?"
When Lin Ling was about to make a move earlier, she had a rather casual demeanor.
But hearing this sentence, her expression turned serious in an instant, and she snapped:
"I mean, I know where Zhou Qiming is!"
Jiang Ye didn’t hesitate at all—he sold Zhou Qiming out.
Well, not completely sold him out.
He raised his hand, expression calm, and asked:
"May I ask, Bigshot, how much do you know about Apartment 4444?"
He had originally wanted to probe more information out of this madwoman.
But Lin Ling gave him a cold glance and snorted:
"Don’t think about testing me. Naturally, I know more about Apartment 4444 than you do."
"Besides, you say you know where Zhou Qiming is..."
"You think I don’t know?"
"Didn’t he just use some method to hide inside the Reincarnation Graveyard?"
Reincarnation Graveyard?
Jiang Ye had always called that unreachable graveyard the "Secret Graveyard."
Only now did he learn that among top-tier bigshots, it was referred to as the Reincarnation Graveyard.
So judging by this, it was highly likely this madwoman also knew about the Reincarnation Key.
After all, from her earlier conversation with the man who was likely the Apartment Boss, one could infer—
She and the Apartment Boss were likely equals in power.
Which meant their knowledge and insight were probably at the same level.
If the Apartment Boss knew and coveted the Reincarnation Key...
Then it was only natural that this madwoman knew about it too.
The only question was—did she also have her eyes on the Reincarnation Key?
Anyway, judging by the current situation, her interest in Lin Yu Hu clearly outweighed everything else.
Now, to find Lin Yu Hu, she had to first locate Zhou Qiming.
And even though this madwoman knew Zhou Qiming was inside the Reincarnation Graveyard, she still came to this Underground Graveyard...
A thought struck Jiang Ye, and he exclaimed in shock:
"Don’t tell me—you have a way to reach the Reincarnation Graveyard from this one?!"
Fortunately, Lin Ling denied it:
"What kind of joke is that? You think the Reincarnation Graveyard is that easy to enter?"
"That special space doesn’t even truly belong to the Beginner Apartment—it's under the jurisdiction of the 4444 Administrator."
"Without the 4444 Administrator’s permission, no one can enter."
Jiang Ye’s thoughts turned again, his eyes suddenly lighting up:
"So you're planning to find a way to gain the 4444 Administrator’s permission?"
As he said this, his gaze shifted to those three empty coffins...
Earlier, the Light-type Replica had destroyed the coffins completely using the Entropy Scythe.
But the Puppet Shadow controlled by Lin Ling had carefully opened them.
So those three coffins still looked usable.
"You’re planning to use those three coffins to bribe the 4444 Administrator—either to let you into the Reincarnation Graveyard, or to have him release Zhou Qiming from it?"
Hearing this speculation, Lin Ling shot Jiang Ye a long, meaningful glance.
A moment later, she sneered coldly and mocked: "Smart little guy, huh. No wonder you’re doomed to a bad end."
"But—" Lin Ling’s tone suddenly shifted, "I heard you’re on good terms with the 4444 Administrator?"
Jiang Ye pressed his lips together and said nothing.
Lin Ling didn’t mind. She continued assertively:
"I’ll give you a chance to live—"
"I do indeed plan to bribe the 4444 Administrator to make him release Zhou Qiming, who’s hiding in the Reincarnation Graveyard."
"As for getting his permission to enter the Reincarnation Graveyard... heh, even if you gave him a thousand guts, he’d never dare let me in!"
"Right now, I’ve got three coffins—so I have three chances to bribe the 4444 Administrator."
"Since you love playing smart, I’ll let you take on these three chances."
"You’ll decide what to use to bribe the 4444 Administrator."
"If, within these three tries, you can successfully get him to release Zhou Qiming with something I approve of..."
"Then I’ll spare your life."
"But if you waste all three chances and the Administrator still refuses to release Zhou Qiming..."
"Then... you just crawled out of a Resurrection Coffin and used one revive—who knows if you’ve got another one left?"
