Probably no big deal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if it were just a single Replica dying, it wouldn’t matter so much…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Jiang Ye feared the most—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was whether this guy really could, like the rumors said, wipe out all his Replicas in one shot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this Trader dude also seemed to have a powerful Replica ability...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right as he appeared, he mentioned the Replica Reflection Mirror…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much did he already know about Jiang Ye’s setup?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why show up now? For what purpose?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye wasn’t just physically tense—his nerves were on high alert too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So high he was borderline losing it—and still managed to awkwardly laugh and reply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah… it’s, uh, working pretty well :)”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……” Even as he said it, he realized that sounded almost like a deliberate provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hahahaha, didn’t Little Bai just tell him to be careful not to provoke the Trader?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Jiang Ye’s mind was racing with one thought:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Survive. Get the h*ll out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the depths of that dark robe, a soft chuckle echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followed by a voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good to hear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that case… how about a trade?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trade…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, the Trader existed to make deals with Players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Ye could tell—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy wasn’t talking about your average Survival Points for Items kind of deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, Jiang Ye asked cautiously, “Let’s hear it. What kind of trade?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Trader was blunt and to the point:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You give me the cross, and I’ll give you the Replica Reflection Mirror. How about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cross?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must mean the cross dropped by the 4444 Administrator?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—this Trader knew Jiang Ye had that cross?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, Jiang Ye wasn’t going to admit to anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned and said, “What cross?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And isn’t the Replica Reflection Mirror already mine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was visibly tense now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way this guy is shameless enough to take something he already sold to a Player and try to sell it again, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’d be absolutely villain behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, it was Huang Qi who bought it, not him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the Trader actually pulled that move, Huang Qi would probably be rolling in his grave, too angry to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Trader wasn’t that shameless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clarified:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Replica Reflection Mirror you own… to be precise, is actually: Replica Reflection Mirror (Incomplete).”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The full version of the Replica Reflection Mirror is still with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and gave Jiang Ye a little lesson:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know what ‘(Incomplete)’ means in these item names?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Generally speaking, items labeled with (Incomplete) are all quite powerful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And each of them has a complete counterpart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The complete version can produce large numbers of its (Incomplete) versions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For example—Mercy of the Reaper (Incomplete), Abyssal Veil (Incomplete), Chaos Furnace (Incomplete), Fortunes Turn (Incomplete)…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All of these have corresponding complete versions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Ye’s brain was practically buzzing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because those four (Incomplete) items the Trader just listed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were all things Jiang Ye had personally encountered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mercy of the Reaper (Incomplete) was a one-time-use item that Wang Chengjin used—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it let him experience a resurrection like rewinding time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the incomplete version had already blown Jiang Ye’s mind—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how terrifying would the complete version be?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the other three—Abyssal Veil (Incomplete), Chaos Furnace (Incomplete), Fortunes Turn (Incomplete)…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were all the rewards Little Bai had given him in advance for killing the Apartment Trader!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this Trader?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew about all three!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus—none of those items were simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abyssal Veil (Incomplete) could create a temporary abyssal zone that sealed off all spatial teleportation—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was tailor-made to counter the Trader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it was extremely effective against Light-type escape skills like Light and Shadow Escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos Furnace (Incomplete) was also incredibly valuable…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its effect is the fusion of multiple items into one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Guan He’s Special-Grade Madman Mask, for example—it was created by fusing ten Madman Masks using the Chaos Furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could say that even an incomplete Chaos Furnace is more valuable than ten regular Madman Masks combined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only downside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incomplete version is single-use—after one use, it’s completely destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there’s Fortunes Turn (Incomplete)—a top-like item etched with eerie spiral patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its effect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the top spins, the Player receives insane buffs like “Undying,” “Invincible,” and “Ultimate Luck”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these buffs stacked together, a Player could be even harder to kill than someone in Death-State from Apartment 4444!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, being incomplete, it’s still only usable once, and the buff duration is tied to how long the top keeps spinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so—just the incomplete versions of these items are already game-breaking...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, according to the Trader—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All incomplete items have complete counterparts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the complete versions can produce their own incomplete copies—just like a main body generating Replicas…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye could barely wrap his mind around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What level of insane power must the full versions of those items have?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the one he cared about most was, of course—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The complete Replica Reflection Mirror!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incomplete version Jiang Ye currently owned could only produce one Mirror Replica at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he had the complete version, he could generate multiple incomplete versions—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant multiple Replicas at the same time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye couldn’t help but wonder—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the Apartment Trader’s army of Replicas…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t a Talent, nor a Privilege,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a result of using the full version of the Replica Reflection Mirror?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made Jiang Ye want the full version so badly!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This item—it was practically made for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time ever, Jiang Ye felt this intensely drawn to an item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even the Raven Egg—which had gotten Little Bai all worked up—had made him feel like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, the Trader was saying—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was willing to trade the complete version of the Replica Reflection Mirror…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy sh*t!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he’s the Trader. He really knows how to bait a deal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, no matter how tempted Jiang Ye was—he wasn’t stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew one simple truth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No merchant ever makes a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Trader was willing to swap the full Replica Reflection Mirror for the cross—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it could only mean one thing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cross is worth even more than the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thought made him all the more curious—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly is this cross?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apartment Boss wanted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Reincarnated Eeries like Guan He were after it…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Reincarnated Eeries like the White-Clad Woman didn’t even seem to know it existed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye’s mind churned. Then he probed the Trader:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean the cross that dropped from the 4444 Administrator?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What exactly is that thing? What makes it so valuable?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned—he could sense the Trader didn’t want to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he added coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you won’t explain what that cross actually is, then there’s no way I’m making a deal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Trader remained silent for a long moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then finally, he spoke—his voice deep and slow:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That cross… among the top-tier Privilege Players, it’s known as—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Reincarnation Key.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They say that whoever possesses the Reincarnation Key… can reincarnate into the next Doomsday Apartment when this one is destroyed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, this is only speculation among Privilege Players. No one can say for certain whether the cross really does that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye frowned. He didn’t buy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not even sure that’s true, yet you’re willing to trade your complete Replica Reflection Mirror for it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I’m not mistaken, that mirror is your trump card, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you afraid that after trading it away, you won’t even live to see the Doomsday Apartment’s end?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His doubts were genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Trader responded with a soft, odd little laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly, in an unusually frank tone, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your quest has three phases, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phase One: kill the Apartment Administrator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phase Two: kill the Apartment Trader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phase Three: kill the Apartment Boss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he said that, Jiang Ye felt… awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Trader had already revealed he knew the reward items for his quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So knowing the quest details wasn’t a stretch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Trader dropped a bombshell:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, those Reincarnated Eeries…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Their vision is still too limited.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If they had access to more high-tier privilege intel, they never would’ve designed the task chain like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because the correct order should be—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phase One: Kill the Apartment Administrator;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phase Two: Kill all 26 Apartment Bosses;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phase Three: Kill the Apartment Trader.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he said “kill the Trader,” his voice was so casual—like it was nothing to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, as if that wasn’t shocking enough, he added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you accept my deal—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And if you’re confident in your own strength—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can even grab an Apartment Boss for you to kill.
