Gia

Yun Ye circled back to the security zone from the other side of the island. Once he reached the back mountain, he stopped paying attention to those matters.

He had worn a mask at the time, so no one would see his real face. Furthermore, he had disguised himself beforehand, changing his height and weight.

The blade in his hand had already been sunk into the sea. It was just an iron sword, not a significant loss.

Everything that could expose his identity had been hidden by him. No one would connect him with the masked person.

Unless he used the skills he had just employed, but he wasn't that foolish.

Yun Ye turned his attention to his system panel.

[Ding, defeated the Vinsmoke Family, gained 200 Achievement Points]

[Ding, conquered the Germa Kingdom, gained 350 Achievement Points]

[Obtained the 'Mastermind' achievement, rewarded with one [Special Class] lottery draw!]

After leaving, the system's prompt sound echoed in his mind again.

Another Special Class draw? And all the rewards are from title achievements...

These achievements, which were like 'titles,' Yun Ye had only obtained a few times. The first was an achievement called 'Animal Killer,' but he only received achievement points.

The subsequent 'Hundred Man Slayer' achievements also only gave him achievement points.

His first lottery draw was when he obtained 'Evil Bane.'

This was the second time!

Yun Ye didn't know what the difference was between these two achievements and others. Were the rewards random? Or was there a special reason behind it?

If there was a special reason, what could it be?

If he knew the reason, could he replicate it?

Yun Ye had many questions and speculations.

It was just like playing a game, directly grinding achievements for rewards.

That would be awesome!

Of course, Yun Ye was just thinking about it. As time went on, obtaining achievement points would become more difficult.

In the past, he could kill rabbits and wild beasts to get achievement points, but now he couldn't.

In game terms, grinding low-level monsters with a high-level character would yield fewer and fewer rewards, eventually resulting in no rewards at all!

It would be a pain if I had to defeat an Emperor just to get rewards...

Yun Ye muttered to himself.

Time to draw!

Yun Ye calmed his mind and directly clicked on the lottery draw.

[Ding, obtained [Gia]!]

"Gia?"

Yun Ye was a bit surprised.

He naturally knew what Gia was.

It was an item used in Bleach to contain a Shinigami's spirit.

But wasn't this item a physical object?

Why could he draw it?

Yun Ye looked at the panel and clearly saw that a new icon had appeared in the [Special Class] branch.

[Special Class]: Shunko (Proficiency 50), Gia (1/1)

Not proficiency? What does 1/1 mean?

Looking at the icon, Yun Ye frowned slightly. He clicked on the icon and obtained the introduction to Gia.

[Gia]: A product of technology, capable of carrying spirit bodies for movement.

Yun Ye was slightly stunned. That's it?

It should at least tell me the specific use.

Yun Ye was speechless. From the description, he couldn't figure out what it meant at all...

Forget it, let's try it first...

He glanced around and saw no one. Yun Ye decided to try using it.

As he used it, Yun Ye felt a sudden, strange sensation in his body, followed by a stinging pain in his soul. However, it disappeared in just a brief moment.

When he opened his eyes again, Yun Ye saw a figure appear before him.

Yun Ye was startled.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was another him!

From his attire to his appearance, there was not the slightest difference from himself!

Yun Ye's gaze was serious as he looked at the panel. Behind the Gia icon, it had changed to (0/1)!

'Gia? A clone?'

Yun Ye was a bit confused. What was this skill supposed to do?

That's right, Yun Ye realized that this Gia icon was also a skill, not an item!

But what good was a clone that required a spiritual body to act?

Yun Ye couldn't figure it out, looking left and right.

However, in the next moment, Yun Ye suddenly felt a strange sense, a connection, from deep within his mind.

Then, he saw the other him, who had been tightly shut, suddenly open its eyes.

Yun Ye wasn't startled. Instead, he grinned. "So that's how it is!"

"It's equivalent to having an extra body, isn't it?" the other Yun Ye said with a smile.

"And this feeling… it's not like a clone. It's more like one person having two bodies simultaneously?"

The two Yun Yes spoke at the same time, their tone and intonation identical.

"However," "We still need to try it out."

"..."

For an entire morning, Yun Ye spent his time getting used to his other body. The physical abilities of the two bodies were almost identical, practically the same.

The sensation was incredibly peculiar, as if one person could control two bodies simultaneously without any interference.

It could be one individual, or two individuals.

Moreover, Yun Ye discovered that both of them could see the system panel. They also tried it out, and both of them could use all the skills that had already been unlocked.

It was just a bit draining!

Draining in every aspect.

Spirit, energy, and mind were all affected!

Of course, the Gia clone could be stored away, transforming into a black bead emitting a faint glow. This way, the consumption could be minimized.

As long as Yun Ye willed it, the Gia bead would transform back into Yun Ye's appearance!

"Heh, with this ability, there are so many more things I can do!"

Yun Ye put away the Gia bead, a strange smile playing on his lips, and walked towards another direction in the back mountains.

That was where the villagers were taking refuge.

Since the Germa forces had already left, it meant the incident was over and it was safe.

He should go and report that everyone was safe to prevent them from worrying.

News of Germa's defeat quickly spread throughout the island by the Navy.

For some unknown reason, the Navy concealed Yun Ye's existence and did not publicize it.

What circulated on the island was that the Navy had repelled Germa.

There were no detailed accounts, just a few brief sentences.

The Navy didn't even exaggerate their own achievements.

But people couldn't help but fill in the blanks!

Most people in the North Blue knew what kind of power Germa was.

Yet, such a force was actually driven away by the Navy?

Then how powerful must the Navy be!

There were many people who had this thought, and they couldn't help but cheer, celebrating the Navy!

In an instant, the Navy's prestige on the island reached an all-time high!

Meanwhile, Yun Ye arrived at the villagers' refuge. After briefly brushing off their incessant questions, he returned to the village with the villagers.

Yun Ye also learned this news from various sources, but his eyes flickered, and his expression remained completely unchanged.

The Navy's actions were quite normal. Compared to publicizing an individual of unknown origin, it was better to promote the Navy's strength.

Furthermore, judging from Yun Ye's previous words and actions, he was definitely not a righteous person. He might even be a criminal.

If they publicized him rashly, and it turned out later that a pirate had saved Donzuke Island, it would be quite awkward.

When did saving others become the job of pirates? What was the Navy doing?

Based on this line of reasoning, Rear Admiral Bastille of the headquarters had ordered Yun Ye's existence to be hidden!
