What the hll?! This is way too game-breaking, too busted!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is just… absurd?!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, despite the shock, Jiang Ye suddenly thought of something else—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did this Apartment Trader get this strong, to such an outrageous degree?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on what he said, the most direct way to obtain the Reincarnation Key was to become the 4444 Administrator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Trader refused to give up his Trader privilege identity, so he couldn’t become the 4444 Administrator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant it was likely the Trader identity itself had privileges he couldn’t afford to lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then most likely, the reason this guy got so insanely overpowered… was precisely because of the Trader identity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, in the Administrator group chat, they said the Trader identity was unique…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And “unique” already implied this identity wasn’t ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye couldn’t help but wonder—could the Trader identity come with direct access to a system mall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever he wanted, he could just exchange for it through the system mall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a full-version Replica Reflection Mirror, a complete Mercy of the Reaper, or even a complete Chaos Furnace—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Trader could just get all of it from the system mall, easy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were true—then holy sht, this is way too busted!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t there anyone to manage this trash game?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m reporting a cheater!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye cursed in his heart, bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he thought of something else—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Observer Replica he obtained from the Dice of Fate…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this “Observer” also be a kind of privilege identity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Observer’s trait of transcending life and death felt pretty powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jiang Ye had any trump card that might stand a chance against the Trader—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be the Observer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, the current Observer couldn’t even manage to write out a White Decree properly…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back, sending the Observer into the Personal Instance really was the right move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It definitely needed more time to grow…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As these thoughts swirled in his mind, Jiang Ye followed the Trader’s instructions and placed his Entropy Scythe into the black rift-like void the Trader had created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like two Entropy Scythes were fusing together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the Trader waved a hand toward Jiang Ye’s 4444 Administrator Replica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, the Administrator Replica felt a terrifying force, as though his very soul were being yanked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His whole body felt like it was going to be ripped apart the next second—overcome with a strange emptiness and dread!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that sensation vanished almost immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, a jaw-dropping scene—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the 4444 Administrator Replica’s body, a golden-glowing Glyph Pattern shot out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shape formed by the pattern vaguely resembled a beast—it looked like the legendary Glutton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, what the Trader had extracted was the Replica’s Glyph Pattern Ability—Gluttonous Body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dmn! This scene—once again shocked Jiang Ye to his core!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had remained ignorant, maybe the shock wouldn’t have been so intense…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Wu Ying’s memories, he now had some basic understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of event—extracting a Glyph Pattern Ability—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget the Beginner Apartment, it was unheard of in the entire Doomsday Apartment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Apartment Bosses would probably scream “Holy sht, that’s insane!” if they saw this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And based on fragments from the Administrator’s memory—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye vaguely knew that when the Gluttonous Body devoured the Giant Axe, or a large amount of flesh, or the Red Lotus Hellfire, it had suffered extreme pain and danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Glyph Pattern was simply extracted by the Trader!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if it was nothing, the Trader controlled that Glyph Pattern, guided it to the Entropy Scythe, and let it devour the weapon…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, the Trader calmly returned the Glyph Pattern back into the Administrator Replica’s body…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole process flowed smoothly, like it was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Administrator Replica only felt some pain when the Glyph Pattern was pulled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything else—like the Gluttonous Body’s risk of devouring items—seemed totally irrelevant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This! This is just too absurd!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Jiang Ye was the one benefiting from this insane ability…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but grumble inside—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Trader could do this kind of thing, didn’t it mean…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not only yank someone right to his face anytime he wanted—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could also extract a player’s Glyph Pattern Ability directly?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extracting a Glyph Pattern Ability—do you realize what that means?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it because the Administrator Replica’s ability was too weak, so it could be pulled out casually?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or… could the Trader extract any player’s Glyph Pattern Ability effortlessly?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye still remembered that mysterious Same Kind in the Tombstone Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That guy had raved like a lunatic, bragging about being Light and Dark in One Body, having tons of SSS-tier Abilities and Ninth-Tier Glyph Pattern Abilities…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Jiang Ye had thought—Holy sht, that guy’s insane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, compared to the Trader, he suddenly felt—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bunch of SSS-tier Abilities and Ninth-Tier Glyph Patterns? That’s nothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Trader could yank out your Glyph Pattern with his bare hands!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy sht, the more Jiang Ye thought about it, the more convinced he became—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason the Trader could so casually offer a full-version Replica Reflection Mirror in exchange for the Reincarnation Key…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might just be because…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, the complete Replica Reflection Mirror was basically nothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the reason he seemed so “easy to deal with”…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might simply be because, to him, everything he said really was just a “small case”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like this whole process of devouring the Entropy Scythe…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something Jiang Ye racked his brains to figure out and still couldn’t do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the Apartment Trader, it really was just a small case—simple, effortless, done in minutes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even something that no player, not even the Reincarnated Eeries, dared to imagine—like killing an Apartment Boss—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>might also be something the Trader could do in just a few easy minutes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye had to come to terms with one fact—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and the Apartment Trader might not even be on the same “tier”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe with his current imagination, the Trader was like one of those players farming with a golden hoe…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap in understanding between them would take immense growth to bridge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, even if he couldn’t yet grasp the Trader’s level, what he’d seen and heard so far made Jiang Ye faintly realize—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps everything in this Doomsday Apartment… was indeed split into “tiers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things like Attributes, Skills, Abilities, and Glyph Pattern Abilities—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These all belonged to one “tier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But above that, there was a higher tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the concept of Privilege Identity might be something from that higher tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, just the Administrator privilege identity was already pretty wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, it came with a lot of restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it also granted the power to erase players!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, that power could be resisted using the Madman Mask for three minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But getting a Madman Mask wasn’t exactly easy either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was just the Administrator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the Apartment Bosses—what kind of privileges did they have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then there were the VIP players…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, Jiang Ye had thought that after getting Wu Ying’s memories, he’d opened the doors to a new world, drastically expanding his worldview.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he suddenly realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ying was just a regular veteran player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His understanding of VIP players might not even be accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might’ve just been another “farmer with a golden hoe” thinking he understood the VIPs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Privileges…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Jiang Ye reexamined those two words with absolute seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he realized again—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His X-tier Ability Infinite Replication…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its truly broken potential might not be what he’d originally thought—that it let him possess infinite Abilities…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that it might allow him to hold infinite privilege identities!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that was the theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in practice, the truly powerful privilege identities had probably long been taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the 26 Apartment Bosses;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like this busted Trader;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the Duoe of the Duoe Organization—who likely held a special identity as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that thought, Jiang Ye suddenly remembered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d once seen a theory called regression to the mean in society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had used that theory to understand the rise and fall of dynasties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, it boiled down to this:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When social classes become too rigid,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>some form of upheaval occurs to break that rigidity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, no dynasty could ever last ten thousand generations as Emperor Qin Shi Huang had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If viewed from that angle—what about the Doomsday Apartment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be understood like this—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once all the privilege identities in the Doomsday Apartment are entirely held by irreplaceable individuals—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, once all privilege identities become fixed and can no longer be passed on…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the fully-rigid class system of the Doomsday Apartment will self-destruct, triggering a new cycle of reincarnation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if all those privilege identities… were taken by Jiang Ye himself through his Replicas—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would happen then?\u003C\u002Fp>",1558,"2026-06-03T07:17:36.055Z","2026-06-03T07:17:41.424Z",1,"novelbin.me","1ae927db9a199c91392670229f95a961cab4d655c0f824bf76b2210723cea2c7","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-173","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-171",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
