Seven days before the college entrance trial, Xing Yao discussed his hidden abilities and urgent need for Resentment Points with Clone No. 1. They agreed to pursue harmless but aggravating tricks to earn points, though Xing Yao had not yet thought of a plan.

• Xing Yao explained that he would conceal his cloning ability and publicly rely on an omnipotent talent to avoid attracting dangerous attention.
• Xing Yao and Clone No. 1 decided to seek Resentment Points through harmless tricks that would frustrate people without risking their lives or breaking the law.
• Xing Yao admitted he had not come up with a specific trick, leaving Clone No. 1 disappointed.

• Clone No. 1 headed for the park to loosen its exercise equipment, while Xing Yao went toward the public restrooms to take toilet paper.

Xing Yao and Clone No. 1 staged a series of pranks to provoke public anger and gather resentment for Xing Yao’s mental world. After watching the chaos spread from the streets to a park and shopping mall, they withdrew, leaving the operation’s next step unresolved.

• Xing Yao and Clone No. 1 sabotaged bike seats, removed public toilet paper, and loosened park exercise equipment, causing people across the neighborhood to curse in anger.
• Xing Yao watched the resulting resentment gather as a dense fog in his mental world, while Clone No. 1 celebrated their success.
• Xing Yao told Clone No. 1 to mop the nearby shopping mall floor while he bought laxatives, then fed laxative-laced grain to pigeons at Cloud Lake Central Park.
• The birds scattered and covered park visitors with droppings, sending the panicked crowd running into the mall, where they slipped on the polished floor and piled up.
• Xing Yao ordered Clone No. 1 to withdraw, and they left the scene under umbrellas while watching the chaos.

After earning a huge amount of Resentment Points, Xing Yao awakened powerful talents for Clone No. 1 and three new clones, then copied their skills across the team. He left himself at mid-Tier One and the other clones at the peak of Stage Eight, with everyone equipped for their next outing.

• Xing Yao copied Invisibility and the clones' core skills across the team, then advanced himself to mid-Tier One and the other clones to the peak of Stage Eight.

Xing Yao explained his supposed Omnipotent Talent to the National Talent Research Institute, then summoned his four clones and laid down rules for their training and survival. With six days remaining before the secret realm opened, he told them to prepare spare masks and pointed to Clone No. 1 as the one who knew why.

• Xing Yao told a caller from the National Talent Research Institute that his talent unlocked abilities unpredictably and had the drawback of granting him only one skill per tier.

• Xing Yao instructed the clones to stay invisible, keep their masks on, earn resentment points, and avoid showing off or taking unnecessary risks.
• Xing Yao told the clones to prepare spare masks and said Clone No. 1 knew why they needed them.

Xing Yao and his clones discussed why they needed spare masks, then lamented that they had no money for better housing. After rejecting several ways to earn cash, Clone No. 3 proposed making special items.

• Clone No. 1 explained that spare masks would protect the clones' identities, help them escape, and preserve their status while doing odd jobs.
• Xing Yao created ordinary background-extra masks for the clones to use for errands and earning luck points.

• The clones brainstormed ways to get rich, but they rejected selling secret-realm drops and taking bounties or missions.
• Clone No. 3 proposed making special items as a way to earn money.

Xing Yao proposed making ability-powered items with Resentment Points, and he and his clones learned to condense resentment into cards. After Clone No. 2 made an invisibility card with a cruel side effect, Xing Yao decided it was too dangerous to sell to anyone but the state.

• Xing Yao suggested using Resentment Points to make practical special items, and the group entered his mental world to use its vast store of resentment.
• Xing Yao and the clones tried to form resentment cards, failing repeatedly until Clone No. 2 successfully made an invisibility card that lasted an hour.
• Clone No. 1 and Clone No. 2 added a side effect that left the user's shoes, equipment, backpack, and hair invisible after the user became visible again.
• Xing Yao warned that the card was too dangerous for ordinary buyers and said they could sell it only to the state; the clones agreed.

Xing Yao and his clones developed four practical cards with troublesome side effects, then prepared to sell their first batch. After spending nearly all his resentment points on cardmaking and upgrades, Xing Yao faced the need to find a faster way to mass-produce them.

• Clone No. 3 created an earth armor card whose itching side effect spread by touch, and Xing Yao approved it for mass production.
• Xing Yao upgraded Clone No. 3 and Clone No. 2 to stage 9, then urged everyone to make cards quickly because his resentment points were running low.
• Clone No. 4 made flame incarnation cards that burned away the user's clothes and hair when they expired, while Clone No. 1 made teleportation cards that left three holes in the user's clothes.
• The clones finished four kinds of cards and reported making 83 teleportation cards, 96 invisibility cards, 108 earth armor cards, and 76 flame incarnation cards.
• Xing Yao planned to sell 64 cards the next day and upgraded Clone No. 1 and Clone No. 4 to stage 9.
• Clone No. 1 said the clones needed a way to mass-produce cards rather than making them one at a time in the mental world.

Xing Yao received a special item from the National Talent Research Institute that exempted him and his subordinates from Rune Secret Realm levies, and he began considering how to trade similar creations for state resources. The chapter revealed that his older brother had secretly arranged the reward to protect him from a mole within the institute.

• Xing Yao decided to earn resentment points, then received a call confirming his new talent and announcing a special reward.
• Clone Number Three brought in the package, and Xing Yao tested the aura-emitting handgun-shaped item on Clone Number One before lining up the clones to receive its effect.
• Xing Yao considered why the state had provided such an unusually valuable reward, then resolved to treat it as an investment and potentially supply special items to the state through the Playing Card Organization.
• Twenty minutes earlier, Xiao Hui warned Elder Li about a mole and instructed him not to investigate Xing Yao's talent deeply or issue the usual reward.
• Xiao Hui secretly ordered Elder Li to give Xing Yao the levy-exempting item in the institute's name, and said he would visit his younger brother later.

Xing Yao sent his clones to scout Qingning City's special-item trading district while he set up a relaxed street stall to sell powerful cards. A skeptical customer bought three cards to test in a nearby secret realm, leaving Xing Yao and the gathered crowd waiting to see whether they worked.

• Xing Yao hid his aura pistol, masked his clones, and split them into groups to reach Qingning City's busiest special-item trading district.
• Xing Yao ordered four clones to scout other stalls while he set up his own stall with cards, a sign, and a lounge chair.
• Xing Yao described cards that granted teleportation, flame form, and earth armor, and promised tenfold compensation if any card was fake.
• A middle-aged man bought one of each card for 3,000 Huayuan coins and headed toward a nearby secret realm to test them.
• Xing Yao concealed four clones around the crowd to guard the stall as he waited for the man's results.

Xing Yao’s cards drew a frenzy of buyers after a man demonstrated their power, and the resulting sales brought him 64,000 Huayuan in net earnings. Back in his room, Xing Yao realized he could use Resentment Points to create a master card and copy it for mass production, and he prepared to test the idea.

• A middle-aged man returned after testing Xing Yao’s cards, showed footage of himself defeating a tier-two monster, and urged the crowd to buy them.
• The man shared his test recording online, drawing a rush of buyers; Xing Yao sold all 64 sets and turned away those who arrived too late.
• Lin Chen and Lin Yue recognized Xing Yao at the stall and questioned him about the popular cards, but he left without explaining their functions.
• Clone No. 2 reported a suspicious buyer who had purchased one of each card, so Xing Yao sent Clone No. 2 and Clone No. 3 to follow him and assigned Clone No. 1 to run future sales.
• Back in his shabby room, Xing Yao counted 64,000 Huayuan in net earnings and considered Clone No. 4’s suggestion to automate card production.
• Xing Yao realized he could spend Resentment Points to create an original card and then copy it using more Resentment Points, and he became eager to test the method.

• Clones Two and Three followed a suspicious man through a hidden door into a crowded, masked black market, then lost sight of him.
• After hearing Clone Two's report, Xing Yao concluded that the stolen cards had reached criminals and ordered the clones to open a card stall.
• Xing Yao explained that the cards would provide powerful effects for only one minute before inflicting intensified side effects for an hour.
• Clones One, Two, Three, and Four praised Xing Yao's trap, then fell silent when Clone Four asked whether innocent awakened people might buy the cards.

Xing Yao used Resentment Points to duplicate cards and upgrade his clones, discovering that each clone who reached tier one merged with his mental world and could resurrect there after a twenty-four-hour cooldown. The chapter left him realizing he was building an undying clone army while his mental world grew stronger.

• Xing Yao assigned Clone No. 2 and Clone No. 3 to sell cards discreetly in the black market and Clone No. 1 to sell openly during holidays.
• Resentment Points surged as the first buyers encountered the cards, and Xing Yao discovered he could duplicate completed cards quickly and cheaply.

• Xing Yao upgraded Clone No. 4, who also merged with the mental world and gained the same resurrection ability, confirming that every upgraded clone could do so.

Xing Yao advanced Clone No. 2 and Clone No. 3, strengthening his mental world and binding all four first-tier clones to it with the ability to resurrect. After learning that the clones had awakened powerful law-related abilities but could not advance to the second tier without understanding their laws, he created two more clones and returned to bed.

• Xing Yao used resentment points to advance Clone No. 2 and Clone No. 3 to the first tier, strengthening the mental world and completing the four clones’ resurrection links.
• Xing Yao put on his mask, but the mental world shook as the clones’ laws fused, spoiling his imposing pose.
• Clone No. 2 and the other clones explained that they had awakened new abilities, while Clone No. 1 said they were blocked from the second tier until they mastered their laws.
• Xing Yao raised the clones to the peak of the first tier but could not break their law barriers, so he ordered them to stay in the mental world and study their abilities.
• Xing Yao created Clone No. 5 and Clone No. 6, then assigned them to take over the stalls while the older clones focused on comprehending their laws.
• Xing Yao returned to the real world and fell asleep after hearing Clone No. 1 tease him about his failed attempt to look cool.

With the college entrance trial one day away, Xing Yao learned it would be livestreamed nationwide and decided he could not risk exposing his clones. He spent the night creating his own skills and finished just before the trial.

As he waited for his other clones to finish comprehending laws, Xing Yao remembered his missing family and resolved to uncover the truth and find them.

• Xing Yao ordered Clone No. 5 to investigate rumors about the candidates, trial, and Awakened patrols, while Clone No. 6 watched the city's underground forces.
• After two days of investigation, Clone No. 5 and Clone No. 6 found no useful information about the lockdown or the trial.

• Xing Yao tucked the photograph away and resolved to survive the trial, uncover the truth, and find his family.

On the morning of the entrance examination, Xing Yao assigned Clones 5 and 6 their duties and infused them with enough resentment energy to reach First Tier, while Clones 1–4 continued their undisturbed comprehension. At school, he revealed his own First Tier strength to Lin Yue, Lin Chen, and their classmates, leaving them stunned as he quietly enjoyed the reaction.
