This feeling is very similar to the Defense Token. Although both are applied to the outside of the body, it not only doesn't feel out of place at all, but it also feels very natural, as if it were something I was born with.
In response, Qi Ling not only marveled at how wondrous this thing was, but also developed a deeper interest in collecting it. He was eager to know what changes would occur if he obtained a level five Attack Token or Defense Token.
The two returned to Kurumi's place with the resource point that the Saber-Toothed Dragon Beast had transformed into. As soon as Xiaoyu saw Kurumi, she excitedly rushed up to her, seemingly wanting to show Kurumi their gains.
" Kurumi, look, look! We've got a hundred points!" Xiaoyu said excitedly to Kurumi. "Isn't that amazing?"
"Wow, that's really impressive!" Kurumi said with a smile. "Looks like you guys successfully dealt with that S-class monster, right?"
"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to me!" Xiaoyu proudly remarked.
Xiaoyu wasn't exaggerating when she said that. Perhaps there are many people on this island who can defeat S-class monsters, and Qi Ling could have won even without Xiaoyu's help, but the fact that he could defeat the monster without taking any damage was definitely thanks to Xiaoyu.
"So, Kurumi, how many points did you get?" Xiaoyu asked again.
Kurumi thought for a moment and said casually, "Well, not many, maybe... two hundred points."
Hearing Kurumi's words, Xiaoyu was stunned. How could this be? Kurumi hadn't done anything, so why did she get so many points? Was it from completing missions? But how could she have completed so many missions in such a short time!
Qi Ling, who clearly understood the situation better, said, "I see, using clones? Performing multiple tasks simultaneously, accumulating small amounts over time, is indeed more efficient than this method."
Kurumi laughed and said, "You're clever, so I don't need to engage in such difficult battles to get a lot of points! But actually, there's an even faster way, but I can't use it."
Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Huh? What is it?"
Kurumi laughed, "Of course we'll take it from others! Now, while there are still plenty of newbies, this is the perfect opportunity! Otherwise, in the last few days, the island will be full of experts, and it will be too late to make a move."
Naturally, Qi Ling rejected Kurumi's quick money-making scheme. Qi Ling's reason was that if you're going to rob someone, rob those who have already robbed others. That way, you can act on behalf of heaven, and they'll have more points.
Meanwhile, Kurumi's method of completing the mission inspired Qi Ling. He summoned his own Blood Sea and the puppets within it, asking them to help him complete the mission.
What should have been a role-playing game was turned into a real-time strategy game by Qi Ling Qi Ling, because he had to control the puppets he summoned, which made Qi Ling sweat profusely and even more tired than in the previous battles.
However, at this moment, Qi Ling looked at Kurumi beside her and found that Kurumi seemed very relaxed. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, " Kurumi, the number of clones you summoned is no less than mine, and to complete the mission, you have to perform extremely precise operations, which requires a lot of Spiritual Power."
"But you don't seem tired at all from being in two places at once. Is your Spiritual Power really that much stronger than mine?"
Kurumi laughed and said, "Huh? How could that be? My Spiritual Power is probably not even as good as yours."
"Then why...?"
"It's very simple," Kurumi laughed. "Because those aren't my clones, they are me! I don't need to control them at all; they can handle everything on their own."
Even with Qi Ling's level of understanding, she didn't understand what "they are all me" meant, but Qi Ling guessed that it might be related to Kurumi's own abilities.
However, Qi Ling and Kurumi encountered a small problem while carrying out the mission, because they were not the only ones carrying out the mission, so there was bound to be some overlap in the missions.
Most of the time, Qi Ling and Kurumi would choose to give up because there's no need to waste time fighting to the death with someone on a mission. However, they encountered someone who forced them to deal with him.
Qian Xunji appeared nearby at some point. When he saw Qi Ling's puppet, he immediately frowned, because wasn't this the very ability Qi Ling possessed?
Qian Xunji had a vivid memory of the abilities Qi Ling had displayed. Although he couldn't be sure if these puppets were really summoned by Qi Ling, there was no harm in confirming their master's identity.
Upon sensing Qian Xunji's presence, Qi Ling knew something was wrong and immediately canceled her clone, thus cutting off Qian Xunji's tracking trail.
It wasn't that Qi Ling was afraid of Qian Xunji, but if Qian Xunji knew her true identity, then it was certain that he would never keep it a secret for her.
However, now is clearly not the time to reveal my identity; in fact, it is the time when I should absolutely not reveal it!
This is because the island possesses these magical items and points, which have invisibly narrowed the gap between everyone, even allowing some people who were originally weak to unleash unexpected power.
Therefore, if Qi Ling's identity is exposed, she will inevitably become the target of public criticism. At least, Qi Ling's identity can only be revealed after this competition ends.
To put Qian Xunji's mind at ease, Qi Ling even rushed over to him, and the two quickly met face to face.
Qian Xunji was also surprised to see Qi Ling, but still said, " Bai Di? What are you doing here? Did you see someone Summon Puppets to act on their behalf just now?"
Qi Ling shook her head and said, "I haven't seen them before, but I have seen a few of these puppets. However, they suddenly disappeared just now. I don't know what happened."
Qian Xunji hearing Qi Ling's words, Qian Xunji didn't suspect anything. Instead, he said, "Is that so? It seems Qi Ling must have discovered my whereabouts! That cunning fellow!"
"Now that he's removed his puppet, he must have fled far away to preserve his identity! Bai Di, there's no time to lose, let's split up and search in two directions, we must find that Qi Ling!"
Qi Ling suppressed a smile and agreed. As Qian Xunji was about to leave, he added, "Oh, right, Bai Di, tonight, let's all gather in the nearest safe zone so we can exchange the intelligence we've gathered."
