Surviving the Doomsday Apartment—With Infinite Clones!-Chapter 115: Entering the Personal Instance

This S-tier Skill...
At first glance, its effects were absolutely insane!
Basically, as long as one Replica remained alive, Jiang Ye couldn’t die!
And once he truly had Infinite Replication...
He’d practically have an immortal body!
And not just that!
Not only would he not die, all of his Replicas could also be revived!
Meaning—there would be no losses!
And if anyone wanted to truly kill him...
They’d have to wipe out him and all his Replicas within 24 hours!
But here’s the key: Jiang Ye’s Replicas could also be Blackened Replicas!
Even if, in the future, the fact that he had Replicas got exposed,
What would most likely be exposed... would only be “Jiang Ye.”
Others wouldn’t know—
That Qu Xing and Huang Bo were also his Replicas!
And in the future, there could be countless Replicas with different appearances and names, hidden among the crowd...
As long as even one Replica remained hidden,
He would never truly die!
This S-tier Skill was definitely a god-tier life-saving ability!
And the more Replicas he had, the stronger its protective effect!
Jiang Ye couldn’t help but think—
Since Replicas could be revived anyway...
What if he went and killed his Light-type Replica now...
Could he both preserve the Light-type Replica and get the Kill-on-Sight Order Reward?
But that was just a fleeting thought. In the next instant, a bucket of cold water drenched him.
Because he quickly realized—
This S-tier Skill could only be used for 2 hours right now!
And the Replica revival... happened after 24 hours!
After 2 hours, the skill would be gone—how would the Replicas revive then?
Unless, within those 2 hours, he could turn this trial skill into a permanent, fully comprehended skill.
But that was way too difficult!
And more importantly, way too uncertain!
He couldn’t possibly risk his life for a skill he might not even be able to learn!
So that meant...
Effect 2: Shared Life of this S-tier Skill, due to the 2-hour time limit, was basically useless!
What the f**k?
This trial S-tier Skill... was it just a waste?
All that excitement for nothing?!
Jiang Ye was originally bitterly disappointed.
But when all of his Replicas experienced Effect 1: I Am My Replicas—he was shocked!
I Am My Replicas had one main function—
It erased the line between Main Body and Replicas.
Before, Replica Fusion, Replica Swap, and even the Replica Shared Space could only be used by Replicas.
The Main Body couldn’t switch positions directly with Replicas.
Back when the Main Body went to the ruins of the White-Clad Woman’s apartment, he had to be escorted there by the Blackened Replica.
And even during that one trip, the Main Body went missing.
But now, with this S-tier Skill, it was a different story.
He could directly swap between the Main Body and Replicas.
The Main Body’s survival and mobility became much more powerful.
Another benefit—
Before, Replica Fusion and similar skills could only be used by the Main Body.
And when the Main Body went missing, all the Replicas were unable to use Replica Fusion.
It was like they were standalone units with no core.
Now, it was different.
Each Replica could use the Main Body’s skills.
If the Main Body went missing again, Replicas could still use Replica Fusion and other Main Body skills.
That’s what the effect meant on paper.
When Jiang Ye first saw it, he didn’t think much—just that using Replica skills would become easier.
However!
Once all his Replicas actually experienced this I Am My Replicas effect...
He suddenly realized—this effect might be more insane than he thought!
First of all—
It really was true that all Replicas could use Replica Fusion and similar skills.
And the cooldowns for each Replica using the skill were calculated separately!
You had to know—the biggest drawback of Replica Fusion was its cooldown.
If he hadn’t gotten the Replica Reflection Mirror by accident, he wouldn’t have been able to take off like he had.
He might still be sending Replicas out to do grunt work, relying on numbers for petty labor.
But now, even without the Replica Reflection Mirror, the cooldown problem was eased!
And the more Replicas he had, the less of a problem cooldowns would be!
Besides that—
Still talking about Replica Fusion.
Before, the max was fusing 3 Replicas.
But now, through simultaneous skill use across multiple Replicas,
He could achieve fusion beyond 3 Replicas!
That meant, if all Replicas used the skill together, the effect could stack!
Of course, he only had 6 Replicas now.
So “stacking” just meant all 6 fusing together—not 3×6 = 18.
Because even with stacking, a fused Replica couldn’t be fused again.
But being able to fuse all Replicas at once through stacked skill usage was already a killer trump card!
And beyond those two improvements in skill usage,
What truly shocked Jiang Ye was—this skill came with a hidden effect—
Previously, to create a new Replica, he had to give Survival Points to the Main Body. Only the Main Body could generate them.
But now, with no distinction between Main Body and Replica,
His Light-type Replica, which held dozens of Survival Points, could now create new Replicas directly!
From now on, creating new Replicas would be so much more convenient—no need to return to the Main Body’s apartment.
And beyond all that, an absurd thought popped into Jiang Ye’s mind—
If the effects of the Main Body’s X-tier Ability were also passed down to all Replicas...
Then...
His X-tier Ability didn’t just let him generate Replicas using Survival Points—
It also let him generate one free Replica every day!
If that effect was also synced across all Replicas…
Then after midnight each day, wouldn’t his Replica count double?!
Every day, double the Replicas…
That’s exponential growth—an explosion curve!
If that were the case...
Given enough time, his Replicas would flood the entire Doomsday Apartment!
That...
That’s terrifying!
Even Jiang Ye admired himself—what an imagination!
But still, from his perspective—
Even those NPCs who just looked like him were treated as his Replicas.
Then wouldn’t doubling his Replicas every day be totally justified?
After all, that would be worthy of the “infinite” in Infinite Replication!
Right now, with just 6 Replicas, what’s infinite about that?
But then, following this “daily doubling” logic, he suddenly thought of one critical point—
The effect of Infinite Replication said one Replica was created each day.
Not “every 24 hours.”
So far, while in the Beginner Apartment, this hadn’t been a problem.
But what about when he got to the Doomsday Apartment?
According to what Ouyang had revealed—
The Doomsday Apartment also lasted for 11 days before destruction.
And a single day in there was extremely long!
He hadn’t paid much attention to that before.
After all, “+1 Replica per day” and “×2 Replicas per day” were worlds apart.
With +1 per day, he didn’t care much about how long a “day” was.
But with ×2 per day, then “day” became critical!
If he only went through one Beginner Apartment and one Doomsday Apartment, that would be, at most, 20 days!
No way!
To increase the number of “days,” he’d be better off looping through the Beginner Apartment indefinitely!
That way, the more days he experienced, the more Replicas he’d have!
But just as he thought that, Jiang Ye suddenly had a vague feeling—
That because of his unique condition, he might not even be able to loop in the Beginner Apartment...
Of course, maybe he was overthinking it. Maybe this S-tier Skill wasn’t as ridiculous as letting every Replica generate a new Replica each day.
And even if he was right, this skill only lasted 2 hours—it wouldn’t even make it to tomorrow...
2 hours wasn’t much time.
And the matter of the Personal Instance had been delayed far too long.
His Personal Instance was indeed the highest level of difficulty—
But only relative to other Personal Instances.
Compared to many Secret Realms, Personal Instances were much easier.
Jiang Ye didn’t dwell on it anymore. He immediately swapped Replica No. 5, the Dark-type Replica, with Replica No. 1 from Room 2025, the trash one.
Then, using the Dark-type Replica, he found the hidden panel in the storage room.
This time, no Six-Pointed Star Sigil appeared behind the hidden panel.
Just like before—once the knocking stopped, the sigil vanished.
Without overthinking it, Replica No. 5’s finger pressed where the sigil had once been.
But this time—nothing happened!
What the hell?
Could this not be the portal to the Personal Instance after all?
No way! He clearly remembered that the knocking had come from this very spot!
Could it be that he could only activate the Personal Instance when the knocking happened?
That didn’t make sense either—he’d asked Wan Xin before, and he hadn’t mentioned such a condition!
And if there was some special restriction even Wan Xin didn’t know about…
Then maybe it had to do with Jiang Ye’s special case.
His thoughts turned, and he suddenly had a hunch—
Maybe this Personal Instance had to be entered by his Main Body personally!
His fellow Light-type player had mentioned before—
A Personal Instance was inherently aligned with the individual.
For instance, the Light-type player’s Personal Instance would definitely be a light-element environment.
Back then, he had already considered that, given his unique situation, his Personal Instance might also be unique.
Following that logic, sending a Replica into the Personal Instance seemed inappropriate.
Even though, under the S-tier Skill, his Main Body and Replicas were considered the same…
His true core was still the Main Body.
Replicas could share the Main Body’s skills and ability effects—
But only the Main Body could probably comprehend skills related to Infinite Replication.
And only the Main Body could fully represent him.
With that in mind, Jiang Ye swapped the Main Body back in place of Replica No. 5.
And the moment the Main Body entered the storage room,
That faint feeling of being summoned intensified!
Even though there wasn’t any knocking sound now,
It felt like something was knocking on the door to his soul...
A strange sensation, one that made Jiang Ye even more convinced—
This Personal Instance really had to be tackled by him, personally.
Holding his breath and focusing, Jiang Ye slowly placed his palm on the spot where the hidden panel had been.
And just then, the panel seemed to be knocked on again, ever so faintly—
And the Six-Pointed Star Sigil that Replica No. 1 had seen earlier reappeared on the panel…
The next second, Jiang Ye’s Main Body abruptly vanished from the storage room.
And almost at that exact moment—
All six Replicas lost their connection to the Main Body once more!
That’s right, the Main Body was missing again!
Even though this was the second time, and there was a clear reason for it—
That the Main Body had most likely entered the Personal Instance—
The six Replicas, previously calm and composed, instantly tensed up!
Because the Main Body was Jiang Ye’s foundation—it absolutely could not be harmed!
The moment the Main Body disappeared, the Replicas acted like they had anxiety attacks—nervous, on edge, unable to sit still!
Especially Replica No. 6 in the Void Mirror Palace, who wanted to rush back to Apartment 1010 and bomb it just in case the Main Body had fallen into another illusion.
And right now, inside the Personal Instance, Jiang Ye’s Main Body really was starting to wonder—
Had he been dragged into yet another illusion?!
Because the moment he entered, before he could react at all, he heard panicked screams and chaotic chatter—
“AAAAHHHHH!!!! MURDER!!”
“Help!! Wuwuwu… Teacher Zhou!!”
“Wh-What the hll?! That’s… Jiang Ye from Class 1! Jiang Ye killed Teacher Zhou?!”
“Holy sht?? Is this for real?? Move, move… f**k! It's true! Are you all brain-dead? Call the other teachers! Call 120 for an ambulance, call the police!!”
“Hurry! Teacher Zhu from next door is coming! Everyone, make way!”
As the shouting continued, the crowd blocking the classroom doors finally parted.
And inside the classroom, Jiang Ye stood there utterly baffled!
Because the scene... actually continued from his previous illusion!
Teacher Zhou was lying in a pool of blood…
The students’ test papers were all soaked red with it…
And he—Jiang Ye—the killer, was standing blatantly next to the corpse!
This…
Was it a continuation of that illusion cast by some mysterious bigshot targeting him?
No.
Jiang Ye had experienced two illusions already—he knew.
What he was experiencing now felt too real!
It was like…
The students outside, and this world, all truly existed!
And—
In the previous illusion, his memories had been altered.
But now, he remembered everything!
The Doomsday Apartment, the Personal Instance, all of his Replicas.
He could even see his Data Panel as a player!
Wait—Data Panel??
Looking at it, Jiang Ye suddenly realized—
His panel showed 1 Survival Point!
Logically, his Main Body should have 0 Survival Points!
So... did killing Teacher Zhou give him that point?
Which meant… he could create a new Replica right now?
Also, with the strength displayed on his panel,
Facing defenseless classmates and teachers...
He could probably wipe them out with ease!
And if he did, would their deaths also convert into Survival Points?
In that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Ye’s mind.
At the same time, he had a faint realization—
He was probably undergoing some kind of trial inside his Personal Instance.
But what was the standard to clear it?
Kill everyone?
Or was he supposed to uncover something?
The current situation was chaotic, and everything was unclear.
And the teacher who had entered clearly wanted to subdue him.
Jiang Ye didn’t dare act rashly—he just leapt out the window and escaped!
