The fact that a million duel machines are linked only means that a million veteran players can log into our duel zone, but it doesn’t mean they’ll all log in at once!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, in my apartment's duel room, there are 20 duel machines, but right now, I’m the only one actually using one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this whole situation might not even have that much impact on our duel zone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That VIP player, Duoe, and Xing Xiu, who made the first announcement, are clearly working together!

Does such a power even exist?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tattooed young man couldn’t figure it out, so he simply hardened his tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, buddy, why don’t you just explain yourself—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does your data panel show you as Level 0, but the ‘Jiang Ye’ on the ranking board is Level 1?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Jiang Ye instantly realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy had the ability to inspect other players' data panels!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy sh*t!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the only data panel the guy had inspected was Replica One’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had seen Jiang Ye’s real data panel…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would have been a huge problem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An X-tier ability—there was no doubt it would cause an uproar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it now, Jiang Ye realized that from here on out, his real body should stay behind the scenes. No wandering around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let the replicas handle everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though this wasn’t the absolute worst-case scenario,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he was still at risk of having his secret exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He honestly had no idea how to explain why he was Level 1 on the ranking board but showed up as Level 0 on the data panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should he have to explain anything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy wasn’t his classmate.
