Weren't you supposed to get items from Administrator 0000 to capture Qu Xing? Why do you suddenly have time to contact me now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemingly ordinary reply made Jiang Ye in the 4444 Apartment narrow his eyes sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but suspect—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could Administrator 0000's actions be connected to Lin Ling as well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had suspected before that Administrator 0000 and Lin Ling might have some shady dealings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, this suspicion grew stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here she was, probing him instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she testing whether he had noticed his missing clone's problem?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye remained composed, avoiding any mention of Administrator 0000, and got straight to the point:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I'm contacting you for a reason. Weren't you planning to gather 100,000 players to enter the Court of Disorder together to see if we could trigger its highest difficulty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've had some small fortune recently—I can barely manage to produce 100,000 clones at once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With these 100,000 clones, even without bounty rewards, we should be able to enter the Court of Disorder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I'm asking—do you want to pause exploring the Mirror Palace secret realm and tackle the Court of Disorder first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhou Yuling in the Mirror Palace was visibly startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She almost blurted out several questions:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"100,000 clones?! Did you obtain 100,000 survival points?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or are these clones made through other means? Can those clones count as individual players?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These questions touched on Jiang Ye's privacy, so he naturally didn't reveal anything, simply stating:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about that. Just tell me when you plan to enter the Court of Disorder—I guarantee these 100,000 clones can function as 100,000 normal players!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sounded completely confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhou Yuling remained silent for quite a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she finally spoke again, her tone was hesitant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I might be... temporarily unavailable...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye's eyes flickered with thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their previous conversations, it was clear Zhou Yuling valued exploring the Court of Disorder greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, this should have been her primary purpose for coming to the Novice Apartment as an experienced player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, for the Mirror Palace secret realm, she was postponing this crucial matter...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her change in attitude definitely wasn't about bounty rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she discovered something worth exploring in the Mirror Palace?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was there another reason for delaying the Court of Disorder expedition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various thoughts raced through Jiang Ye's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't want to reveal his eagerness to explore the Court of Disorder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he didn't press the issue, instead asking: \"Unavailable? Does that mean you've made progress in the Mirror Palace?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there was no progress, you wouldn't be 'unavailable,' right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling remained silent for a moment before explaining:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not sure if it counts as 'progress,' but I've come up with a bold idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've already started implementing it—if I leave now, it would mean abandoning it halfway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why I want to see this through first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye asked directly: \"What exactly is this 'bold idea'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling chuckled lightly: \"You're not willing to tell me how you're making 100,000 clones either, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The implication was clear—this was her private matter, not to be shared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Ye also laughed and said bluntly: \"Is your bold idea about creating a large number of Mirror Palace puppets?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......\" Zhou Yuling stiffened briefly before recovering: \"You have clones in the Mirror Palace too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye smiled: \"If I can make 100,000 clones, sending one to handle small tasks isn't difficult :)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye continued: \"If you won't tell me, I'll just help you through actions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I have my clones create numerous Mirror Palace puppets in the secret realm? Would that help you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Jiang Ye already knew about the Mirror Palace's situation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if he really started mass-producing Mirror Palace puppets, he would quickly discover her so-called \"bold idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Zhou Yuling compromised: \"Fine, I'll tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My bold idea can be summarized in two words—raising puppets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Simply put, it's about utilizing the Mirror Palace's unique properties to cultivate numerous Void Mirror Puppets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you have clones here, you must have noticed—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The entire Mirror Palace secret realm is currently filled with Void Mirror Puppets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you stay longer and observe carefully, you'll realize—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a certain 'law of energy conservation' operating within the Mirror Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is, the energy between the mirror surfaces forming the palace and the Mirror Puppets created by players remains constant overall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When players intentionally create many Mirror Puppets, they're transferring energy from the mirror surfaces to the puppets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So when this energy conversion reaches its limit, can you guess the outcome?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye nodded and stated the final result directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If all energy transfers to the Mirror Puppets, the extreme scenario would be—all mirror surfaces forming the palace grids would disappear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling nodded, but before she could continue, Jiang Ye questioned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I've noticed—those numerous Mirror Puppets are clearly merging with each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wouldn't the final resulting Mirror Puppet become too powerful to control?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling paused, seeming to sigh lightly before continuing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, if you've explored enough secret realms, you'd know this method of clearing them is quite common.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, you 'raise a boss' in specific conditions...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then fight the fully-raised boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Win, and the realm is cleared; lose, and it isn't. Simple as that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So my current plan follows this experience—raise the boss, then fight it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we ultimately can't defeat it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then so be it. I'll temporarily abandon the Mirror Palace and join you in exploring the Court of Disorder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I've already progressed somewhat in 'raising the boss,' that's why I said I'm 'temporarily unavailable.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye indicated his understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, he suddenly asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During this 'boss-raising' process, are you feeding the Mirror Puppets with your own blood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling shook her head: \"No. I've just been shuttling between two palace grids.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay in Grid A for a while, move to Grid B, letting Grid A generate Mirror Puppets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After enough time in Grid B, return to Grid A, letting Grid B generate Mirror Puppets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've been using blood collected from other players for this back-and-forth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye frowned, considering this before saying gravely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But your method is too inefficient! How long would it take to reach the extreme scenario?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling sensed his implication and raised an eyebrow: \"So you're planning to...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye nodded: \"Exactly. I'll send a batch of clones to assist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your solo efforts are too slow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With my clone army, we can produce numerous Mirror Puppets in the same timeframe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This idea didn't surprise Zhou Yuling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What truly surprised her was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, you're quite bold now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you worried my 'bold idea' might be a trap for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you generate many Mirror Puppets resembling you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The final boss-level Mirror Puppet will likely take your form too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you afraid such a powerful, you-lookalike boss might harm you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye thought—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as that final boss still looks like me,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it can't possibly harm me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he couldn't say this directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He played dumb instead: \"What harm could it do? Weren't you planning to 'raise puppets' personally too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like you said, if we can't defeat the boss, we'll just abandon the Mirror Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sounded reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhou Yuling's real concern was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't Jiang Ye suspect this might be her scheme against him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Jiang Ye seemed completely unconcerned...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he truly oblivious, or did he have other confidence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling didn't dwell on it and said plainly: \"Fine, send your clone army over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sooner we raise the boss-level Mirror Puppet, the sooner we'll see the results.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal. I'm coming.\" Having stated his position, Jiang Ye ended the communication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True to his word, he began transferring the 2,000 puppet clones previously created in the Reincarnation Graveyard to the Mirror Palace via Clone Swapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since crossing palace grids required \"feeding blood,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and entering from outside randomly assigned grids,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye positioned the swapping point outside near the silver vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, each clone would automatically enter different grids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While his clones waited in various palace grids to generate Mirror Puppets,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a new idea emerged—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he try using his own blood to feed the mirror surfaces?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially cautious, Jiang Ye had worried about unknown risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he saw a new angle—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the final boss-level Mirror Puppet resembled him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how powerful or strange it became, it couldn't harm him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would essentially become another clone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, like Xiao Hei, it might even become loyal to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought intrigued him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he'd avoided using his blood mainly because of Chen Cang's presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with Zhou Yuling's plan causing mirror surfaces to disappear from energy loss,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>any anomalies from his blood could be attributed to the massive energy conversion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having decided, Jiang Ye instructed all 2,000 clones to use his blood when generating Mirror Puppets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he waited for the puppets to form,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling's voice came through his voice transmission bead again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps after consulting Lin Ling, she asked directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mentioned you could produce 100,000 clones at once?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow while holding the bead:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Want to know how I'm making them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not exactly.\" Zhou Yuling sounded tentative. \"From what you said earlier, you plan to send all 100,000 clones into the Court of Disorder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This confused Jiang Ye: \"Yeah? Any problem with that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, Zhou Yuling said gravely: \"If the Court's highest difficulty truly requires 100,000 players...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only need you to provide 90,000 clones. I'll supply the remaining 10,000 player slots myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye knew she meant her 10,000 followers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrendering 10,000 slots out of 100,000 was acceptable—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having the entire Court filled with his clones would make Zhou Yuling uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Jiang Ye agreed readily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem. After all, exploring the Court was originally your plan—you only approached me because you lacked manpower.
