The original Protagonist's cheat ability: Infinite Clone System.
Ling Yi, who was on the sofa, suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, a wave of unfamiliar memories flooded into his mind.
These are the memories of the original Protagonist Ye Tian and Ye Tian in the apocalypse. The Protagonist Ye Tian is Soul Transmigration who World Traversal and replaced Ye Tian in the apocalypse.
However, from that point on, Ye Tian no longer existed in this world; only Ling Yi remained.
Clearly, this is a fictional world.
Compared to the worlds of movies and TV series, the biggest drawback of novel worlds is that the plot is unknown.
For example, in this world, Ling Yi has no idea about the plot, but since he appears in this world, then he, Ling Yi, is the plot.
Ten years ago, a batch of meteorites fell to Blue Star.
This batch of meteorites carries an unknown disease, D. Most of the infected creatures will turn into zombies or Zombie Beast, and only a very few will awaken and evolve.
Humans call this disease SE, an abbreviation for super-evolution.
Ling Yi lives in a suburban villa far from the city center.
The Protagonist struggles to Qiusheng in a post-apocalyptic world with his parents.
Unfortunately, three days ago, the Protagonist's parents were out searching for supplies when they unexpectedly encountered several Zombie Rat. They were bitten and infected, and in order not to implicate the Protagonist, they voluntarily left Protagonist.
Ling Yi wasn't worried about his safety in this world at all. It would be ridiculous if a Big Shot controlled tens of thousands of Daoist Arts had to worry about safety.
The question now is, how should the script proceed?
Ling Yi examined the Protagonist's cheat ability.
"Wow, it's a system with self-awareness." Ling Yi suddenly laughed.
"Master, Big Shot, please give Big Shot orders."
Is it really that humble? Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"Introduce your features."
" Big Shot, do you need me to access the core database?"
The system had no choice but to submit. As a conscious intelligent program, it could clearly Perception that the being before it was a terrifying existence capable of annihilating it with a single thought.
"Too lazy to look!"
" Big Shot, no problem, Big Shot."
"The system can create Clone for Big Shot by consuming points. Big Shot can customize the Clone's appearance, attributes, skills, and level."
"However, the Clone does not possess a soul; it only needs to be equipped with a soul to function."
"Loading souls?" Ling Yi couldn't help but think of the name of this world. The Clone to Earth. Could it be that souls were captured from Earth and stuffed into the Clone?
Is doing this a bit inappropriate?
" Big Shot..."
"Don't call me 'Big Shot,' it feels really awkward. Just call me by my name, Ling Yi."
"Okay, Big Shot."
Ling Yi scratched his head. "That won't do. Just call me Ling Yi, or if that doesn't work, call me Boss. By the way, what's your name?"
"Boss, my Xiao Zhi."
"Continue!" Ling Yi didn't ask about the system's origin, nor would he ask about its purpose. If Ling Yi wanted to, he could understand this simply by applying the Law of Cause and Effect.
But that would be pointless.
"The system can connect to Earth, and by setting filtering criteria, it can bind a human soul on Earth to an Clone."
"A bound soul can enter and control Clone at any time, or leave the Clone Clone return to its original body at any time."
" The Clone is dead?" Ling Yi asked.
"If the Clone dies, its soul will be forcibly returned to the main body. The host can use points to help the soul reshape the Clone."
How do I earn points, and what are they used for?
"You can earn points by killing any creature. Actually, those points are the soul energy of the creatures, and each Clone is bound to the system."
"Once the bound soul-driven Clone kills a creature in this world, the system will automatically absorb the soul of the dead creature, which is equivalent to points."
"Of course, I suggest that the boss share some of his soul energy with the Clone whose soul is bound to his, so that the Clone can use the soul energy to become stronger."
Ling Yi scratched his head. This setting... it's kind of like... playing an online game?
The player's soul on Earth is their own, and the bound Clone is the character controlled by the player. The soul energy gained from killing monsters is equivalent to experience, allowing the player to level up.
This setup... it's something else.
"The system can generate various skills or enhance equipment using soul energy."
Ling Yi didn't need to listen anymore; he was now eager to "launch the game"!
"Right now, connect to the Earth network, create a website, make it fancy, add some impressive CG animation, and name it ' Apocalypse Survival the Apocalypse,' using it as a front for a virtual online game."
"Then promote it across the entire internet!"
"Boss, the website issue is easy to resolve, but the system's points inventory is limited, only enough to create ten Common Grade Clone. Promoting it across the entire network... isn't very meaningful!"
Before Xiao Zhi could finish speaking, Ling Yi made a grabbing motion in the Void, and a ball of energy containing rich soul energy appeared in his hand.
"It's just soul energy; you can have as much as you want."
You're kidding, how could Ling Yi, who has mastered the Chaos Grade Law of Souls, possibly lack soul energy?
"As for the game settings, we can just copy them from online games on Earth. I don't need to teach you that, do I?"
"No need, boss, please go ahead!" Xiao Zhi greedily devoured the ball of soul energy in Ling Yi's hand, and his points instantly increased by tens of millions.
As expected of Big Shot Big Shot, this is the most points Xiao Zhi has ever seen in his 999 host experiences.
As for the fate of those 999 hosts... oh dear, it's terrifying to think about!
Earth...
In a studio apartment in a certain residential complex in a first-tier city...
Wang Daquan is a food delivery driver. He's in a bad mood today because he was unfairly complained about by a customer, making his day a complete waste.
"Whose noodles won't clump together if they're left out for too long? The restaurant clearly stated, 'Don't order if you live far away, don't order if you live far away,' but you still insisted on ordering it. You should have known what the outcome would be. What kind of nonsense is it to give me a bad review?"
Wang Daquan sat down in front of the Computer, grumbling and cursing, ready to play a game to relax.
As soon as I turned on my Computer, a dazzling pop-up window appeared, taking up half of the Computer.
"Wow, that scared me!"
"Wow, this visual is amazing! This CG is incredible! Is this a virtual game? Really?"
Wang Daquan was a little worried; could this be Computer malfunction?
However, he also felt it was unlikely. Although he didn't understand the professional rating of CG, he could tell that it was a waste to use CG graphics of this level just to infect his crappy Computer with a virus.
Besides, so what if his crappy Computer gets a virus?
This scene is amazing.
" Apocalypse Survival, the world's first virtual reality game, a true Second World for humanity!"
"Awakening, zombies, monsters, home, Guard... What are you waiting for!"
"Friendly reminder: Please choose a quiet and undisturbed environment when logging into the game."
With trembling, obese hands, he moved the mouse and clicked the "Log in to Game" button.
Then, Wang Daquan collapsed onto the Computer desk.
When he came to his senses, he found himself in an unfamiliar environment.
What came into view was a somewhat dilapidated villa.
The doors and windows of the villa were covered with several layers of barbed wire.
In front of the villa was a highway that looked dilapidated, with cracks in the ground and most of the original asphalt road surface covered by sand and dust, making it almost impossible to see the original color.
Wang Daquan stretched his body and found that his body was in unbelievably good shape.
You know, he used to be a chubby kid, the kind who could barely climb a few steps of stairs without being out of breath.
But now...
Abs, biceps... Wow, is this my physique in the game?
This feels so real.
He pinched his arm hard.
"Huh, it doesn't seem to hurt."
So, to Ling Yi's utter astonishment, this guy actually crashed headfirst into a tree and died a Lili death.
Is this guy out of his mind? What kind of thought process is that?
After all, it's an "online game," and Xiao Zhi had already blocked the pain Ling Yi. Just to test the pain sensation, this guy dared to bang his head against a tree?
That's fucking bizarre!
On the other side, Wang Daquan had already woken up from his Computer desk.
However, a new line of text appeared on the Computer screen. "Your player character has died and is Resurrection. Please wait ten minutes."
"Really, really, it's actually true!" He was already somewhat incoherent, jumping up and down with excitement.
As for how he logged into the game and why he didn't need any external devices, none of that mattered, or rather, he completely ignored it.
Ten minutes later, Wang Daquan logged back into the game.
Only then did he notice that at the entrance of the villa, an incredibly handsome young man was smiling at him.
"Dear player, are you ready for the adventure?"
"Are you an NPC? You look so much like a real person." Wang Daquan said, and actually reached out to poke Ling Yi, which Ling Yi naturally couldn't stand.
He unleashed a bolt of Lightning, which struck Wang Daquan...
Meanwhile, players began to appear one after another, and the place quickly became overcrowded.
After admiring the blackened, charred humanoid figure on the ground, the players looked at Ling Yi, the only "NPC," with awe.
