Clone

Looking at the body that had turned into a mindless, semi-shadow creature, Lu Li remained silent for a while. Although he knew that obtaining a human body would be difficult, he did not expect it to be this difficult.

If Lu Li wanted to obtain a human clone, he had to establish a certain connection between himself and a human body so that his consciousness could descend into the human body. However, when Lu Li tried to imprint his mark on the body, he found that the body began to turn into a shadow.

Despite Lu Li's best efforts to stop it, he only managed to obtain a semi-shadowed body. For Lu Li, whether he had a semi-shadowed body or a fully shadowed body, the result was the same: he would be discovered.

After thinking for a while, Lu Li realized that obtaining a human body was impossible in the short term. He had now transformed into a shadow creature, and anyone who made contact with him would be corrupted by the shadow. Under these circumstances, without a specific method, it was virtually impossible to obtain a human clone.

It seems the only option is to work on the surface. Lu Li's clone reappeared, its current skin made of his own magic, mixed with air and some soil dust, and containing quite a few runes inside.

It looks and even feels similar to human skin, but once attacked to a certain extent, it will crack like ceramic, and the large amount of shadow energy inside cannot be hidden from the Countermeasure Bureau with energy detectors.

It wasn't a big deal that Lu Li was discovered to have special abilities; the main issue was that he was going to university. A quick check revealed he came from Leping City, and that was it.

Even with basic association, one would know that Lu Li's identity is not simple. To say that he has nothing to do with the recent Leping City incident would be unbelievable, "Otherwise, why don't you go to that university?"

"That's a bit too conspicuous," Lu Li said, shaking his head. He opened the forum to look for solutions, then opened his panel to view his data.

"Perhaps this will work." Lu Li's gaze fell on a paid post on the forum. The post cost 500 Game Points and was titled. "Practical Method for Creating Clones."

Afterwards, Lu Li found some posts on crafting magical items and some posts on magical runes. Adding the 500 points mentioned above, he spent a total of 1000 Game Points, but Lu Li got what he wanted.

"Hmm? Moon Shadow Dependent." Lu Li opened the private message she sent. The message said that she had a fairly mature idea about the new Meditation method, and she also attached a combination of modules and parameters below.

Lu Li glanced at the skill combination and realized that this Meditation method might actually be of some use to him now. Thinking this, Lu Li chatted with Moon Shadow Dependent and then closed the post.

"There's a problem. This Meditation method actually fits my current situation fairly well and is having some effect on me." Lu Li shook his head, a strange smile flashing across his face, "My changes are so significant, yet the Meditation method she wrote can keep up with them perfectly."

Recalling the past, Lu Li had a general idea in mind, so he stopped worrying about it. In addition, he needed to buy some modules. Looking at the 500 Game Points he only had left, Lu Li realized that he probably needed to earn some money.

However, there's no rush. After this upgrade in privileges, Lu Li can roughly sense that his next dungeon run will take place in about a month. By then, he should have already enrolled in school. There's still some time; these things can be done slowly.

"I'll take care of my physical condition first, then figure out a way to earn some Game Points." Once Lu Li made up his mind, he began refining his new clone.

Forget about a human body; for now, the priority is to create a humanoid form that can fool most people. Thus, Lu Li began the process of refining his body.

First, the outer skin will be the same as before, but many hidden energy runes will be added inside, along with some basic adjustments, such as the defense mechanism. A physical examination will definitely be required for enrollment, and if blood is drawn, the needle won't be able to go in. If the skin is broken due to excessive force, there will be a problem.

Therefore, the defense mechanism needs to be adjusted to some extent, and Lu Li even plans to add some blood to it to facilitate various examinations.

Then, there's no other way to fill in the inner self, so the only option is to fill it with a lot of human qualities. Although Lu Li looks like a human now, some people with special perceptions can tell that Lu Li's existence is abnormal and not like a human. In fact, Lu Li is severely lacking in the "human" element.

Then Lu Li's gaze fell on his Wendigo bone scale cloak and the living Wendigo heart he had won in the lottery. If we're talking about the most human-like creatures, these Wendigo are the ones with the strongest human characteristics. These Wendigo are monsters formed from humans eating each other, yet they have a large number of human elements.

Recalling the post that cost 500, Lu Li began refining his clone. The post detailed how to use different materials to create a clone. Although Lu Li 'Lu Li situation was different from that post, he also had some knowledge of mysticism, so he made some modifications to suit himself.

Finally, a day later, Lu Li's clone body was completed. Lu Li's high school homeroom teacher also called Lu Li to say that the acceptance letter from Miskatonic University had arrived.
