Still way too weak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before diving into his Instance, Jiang Ye wanted to get the Main Body a powerful new skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now—with 12.8 billion in hand, the first thing he did was exchange for 10 Silver-Tier Skill Scrolls!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t use them right away, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he exited the Golden-Tier Duel Machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he glanced at the group chat, he saw Wan Xin’s furious shout:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wan Xin: 【F*** you, Ouyang! You promised to call me for Lin Shen’s fake match! You didn’t call me at all!! @Ouyang Fan】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang Fan: 【That’s not on me! You left, and like two minutes later, Jiang Ye matched with Lin Shen. I had no idea that was gonna be the fake match. They didn’t coordinate anything in the stands either!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang Fan: 【Besides, the match wasn’t even worth watching. Jiang Ye used his Disguise Mask’s invisibility, Lin Shen pretended to search the whole field with Blood-Red Eyeballs, couldn’t “find” him, and just hit the eyeball and surrendered...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other spectators chimed in too, siding with Ouyang Fan and saying the fake match wasn’t that exciting anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, tons of people started @-ing Jiang Ye, asking how big the Quick Battle prize pool had gotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much did he make by teaming up with Lin Shen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were so many mentions that Jiang Ye finally replied in one line:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Didn’t get much. Just a measly 12.8 billion.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole group chat fell silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, like a storm—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【WTF WTF WTF!! Say that again?! Measly 12.8 billion?!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【How big was your cut to get 12.8 billion?! No way, right? That’s gotta be exaggerated!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Yeah, no way. The whole pool being over 10 billion is already crazy. How the hell did your share hit 12.8? What kinda joke is this?!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Wan Xin added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Jiang Ye’s the type to lie through his f***ing teeth! This 12.8 billion is totally sus!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after he sent that, Wan Xin suddenly remembered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye wasn’t just the kind of guy who lied with a straight face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also had this weird habit of telling the truth in a way that made it sound like a lie...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like last time—he really had beaten him with raw strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But talked like he’d only made the War God Ranking because of a fake match...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this time, could it be that he actually...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nah, no way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, based on the description, Jiang Ye and Lin Shen didn’t even fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Lin Shen who voluntarily surrendered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that wasn’t a fake match, then what was it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what Jiang Ye said that was probably true—was that the entire prize pool for the Quick Battle was 12.8 billion, not that he personally got 12.8 billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, some other players caught on and called it out in the group chat:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【That 12.8 billion must be the total Quick Battle prize pool, right? We were asking how much you personally got @Jiang Ye】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye chuckled and casually replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【We haven’t really negotiated that yet. @Lin Jing, why don’t you tell them how much I get?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Or better yet, how about we talk face to face? I’ll come up to the 99th floor and find you? @Lin Jing】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as that message dropped, every player in Apartment 9999 was stunned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—this fake match… they hadn’t discussed it beforehand?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell were those two up to?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those who saw the match live—that weird vibe they’d felt resurfaced again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the 99th floor, Lin Jing had just stepped out of his private Duel Machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Jiang Ye’s message and his face darkened, eyes unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t reply in the group chat, but before long, players in Apartment 9999 noticed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Shen’s name had vanished from the apartment list!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Wait—did Lin Shen just leave across apartments?!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Told you! Lin Shen ending Quick Battle early had multiple reasons!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【It’s not just that mysterious Bald Guy pressuring him—it’s also the lure of the Kill-on-Sight reward!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Huang Bo is still on the run, could get taken out any minute. Lin Shen’s probably gone to hunt him!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【But does he even know which apartment Huang Bo’s in? Is he gonna go door to door? That’d burn a ton of Survival Points.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【So what? Just kill one player per apartment and you earn them back.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【And with Lin Shen’s freaky methods, who knows? Maybe he really can pinpoint Huang Bo’s location.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most players in 9999 believed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing had deliberately ended Quick Battle early, partly because of the Global Kill-on-Sight Order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sudden exit from Apartment 9999 was likely to go hunt down Huang Bo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Ye had his own theory—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing might have just wanted to avoid him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Duel Room was, after all, a virtual environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could build up combat experience inside, but there was no real death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if your ability got sealed on the field, it would return to normal in the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality—if Lin Jing ran into Jiang Ye again and got sealed, it would stick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he probably bailed to avoid that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, chasing down Huang Bo was a possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But let’s not forget—Lin Jing was a Dark-type Being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he actually found Huang Bo, one Light-type Skill landing on him would hit harder than Shadow Curse ever could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Jiang Ye really had planned to try another test in the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To see exactly how long burning 20 Attribute Points from Shadow Puppet could seal a Glyph Pattern Ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Jing? Didn’t even bother acknowledging him—just straight-up disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right after Lin Jing left—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>someone knocked on the door of Room 2025, Jiang Ye’s apartment in 9999.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought maybe Wan Xin had finally sorted out that guide and was coming by for the trade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he looked through the peephole, it wasn’t Wan Xin. It was… Wang Chengjin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his expression was complicated, clearly deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye paused a moment, then opened the door with an easy smile: “Yo, Brother Jin. What brings you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chengjin stared him down for a few seconds, then put on a friendly front and said, “Didn’t you @Lin Shen in the group, said you wanted to talk about the reward split?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Shen had to leave in a hurry to chase down Huang Bo, so I’m here to negotiate the cut on his behalf.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh-ho?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jing ran off, and now his little lackey was stepping up to demand a split?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye found it amusing and warmly invited him in:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I see. Then come on in, Brother Jin, take a seat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for that fake match with Lin Shen—honestly, I didn’t see it coming at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My intention was to trade a few moves with him and gain some experience. I never imagined he’d suddenly act like he had something urgent and just surrender like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looking back, maybe he did have something urgent. That sudden surrender gave me the whole prize pool—I was so caught off guard I almost felt guilty about it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the split… Lin Shen never brought it up…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But since you’re here on his behalf—why don’t you tell me how we should split it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smooth. A flawless play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chengjin was clearly pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been friendly with Jiang Ye before\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>because he assumed Jiang Ye had taken a Kill the Apartment Boss quest,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and after completing the kill on the Apartment Administrator, would be marked for death by the whole server.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He figured he could farm Jiang Ye for the bounty later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, Huang Bo got hit with a Global Kill-on-Sight Order…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So his interest in Jiang Ye faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, his attitude wasn’t nearly as warm as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still polite on the surface, but clearly half-hearted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jiang Ye play along, he kept it civil and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You won that match against Lin Shen entirely because he surrendered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every prior match leading up to it—also thanks to him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And you? Honestly, you didn’t contribute much. You just got to enjoy the spotlight… oh wait, didn’t you spend a Privilege Card?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about this—12.8 billion was the full prize pool.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll take that on Lin Shen’s behalf, and you can keep whatever’s left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chengjin said it like it was perfectly fair—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but Jiang Ye hadn’t expected this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew this guy was shady,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but he’d thought maybe—just maybe—he’d at least toss him a token 800 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never imagined he’d claim the entire 12.8 billion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and act like he was leaving Jiang Ye some kind of generous tip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye laughed coldly inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d even prepped a response for if the guy offered 800 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now—this offer was so insulting it was funny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually laughed out loud, then gave Wang Chengjin a long, dark stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chengjin raised an eyebrow, his tall frame exuding an oppressive aura as he said lightly, with a hint of menace:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong? Not satisfied?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your role in that fake match—hell, we could’ve sent a dog up there and it would’ve done just as well!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t tell me you seriously think you deserve eight billion?”\u003C\u002Fp>",2329,"2026-06-03T07:17:36.055Z","2026-06-03T07:17:41.424Z",1,"novelbin.me","8d560a1db2fda926bfc74e051bbcdea6766507e3c6b80edb75f79c3aa360a8b1","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-109","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-107",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
