35: Shadow clone!

Tang Yiping lay weakly on the ground, looking up at Lin Chuan.

He felt an inexplicable panic and fear in his heart, and stammered, “I originally had a god's blessing! It was the Fire God’s Blessing! Its effect was immunity to fire damage! But when I was at school, my Fire God’s Blessing was snatched away by someone!”

“Snatched away?” Lin Chuan chuckled lightly, then asked, “By whom?”

“By Lin Chuan! The Lin Chuan who is number one on the level ranking! That guy is deranged and commits all kinds of evil! He wants to snatch away anything good he sees! It was him! He snatched away my Fire God’s Blessing! If you don’t believe me, go ask him!”

Tang Yiping spoke with righteous indignation, even cursing Lin Chuan to no end!

In reality, ever since Lin Chuan reached Level 1, many people in the regional chat channel had been spreading rumors about him.

Anyway, it was anonymous chat, so there was no need to take responsibility for what was said;

Anyway, with the chaotic times approaching, debunking rumors became increasingly difficult.

Lin Chuan knew what those people wanted to do.

It was nothing more than finding an excuse to kill him, to make everything seem reasonable and justified.

He had seen too many such tactics in his previous life.

However, at this moment, even after the ranking rewards were just announced, the chat channel was almost entirely filled with desperate calls for help.

For those struggling on the brink of life and death,

They didn't care who Lin Chuan was, nor did they care whether he was good or evil.

They also didn't care about any rankings or rewards.

They just wanted to survive.

However, this night, many, many people would die.

Many people were frantically sending out calls for help.

And even more people were leaving their last words in despair.

Lin Chuan smiled faintly.

His gaze towards Tang Yiping was very gentle.

Then, he suddenly asked, “The Lin Chuan you mentioned, are you sure it’s the Lin Chuan who is number 1 on the level ranking?”

“Confirmed! It’s definitely him! He attacks people with wire!” Tang Yiping’s tone was very firm!

After speaking, he suddenly froze, his pupils dilating!

His face turned pale, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

He stared intently at the golden words “level ranking No. 1” that suddenly appeared above Lin Chuan’s head!

Tang Yiping’s brain couldn’t quite process it, so he summoned the system again and glanced at the level ranking.

When he saw that the name at the top of the level ranking was still “Lin Chuan” and hadn’t changed!

Tang Yiping almost had a heart attack!

He trembled his lips, his voice quivering, “No, no, no… The Lin Chuan I was talking about wasn’t the one on the level ranking… That person, that person called himself Lin Chuan… He, he must be an imposter!”

He suddenly thought of a brilliant excuse, and his voice finally stopped trembling so much: “That person, he must have deliberately impersonated Big Shot Lin Chuan to do bad things, deliberately to blacken Big Shot Lin Chuan’s name!”

He babbled on, frantically explaining.

And everyone else present also saw the words “level ranking No. 1” suddenly appear above Lin Chuan’s head!

Their eyes were filled with shock!

Lin Chuan didn't care how irrelevant people viewed him.

The reason he used the moon gods blessing to hide the level ranking words above his head was merely to save trouble, not because he was afraid of it.

Now, he squatted down beside Tang Yiping.

He patted Tang Yiping’s cheek with the back of his hand.

Lin Chuan said gently, “So you, in fact, are not a God Chosen, right?”

“I, I, I, I…” Tang Yiping trembled so much he couldn’t form a complete sentence.

But Lin Chuan had already deduced the answer from his state.

He then asked, “Then how did you know that God’s Punishment Tasks are issued after a God Chosen dies?”

“I, I, I, I…”

Lin Chuan’s aura was simply too strong, and it took Tang Yiping a long time to regain his composure.

He suddenly realized that Lin Chuan had come to talk to him, seemingly wanting to get information about the God Chosen!

And this was his bargaining chip!

Tang Yiping finally suppressed his trembling and hurriedly explained, “I, I, I, I, although I am not a God Chosen, I have been in contact with one!”

“The secret of the God’s Punishment Task was told to me by him!”

“I originally wanted to kill him, but he told me he was a God Chosen, and killing him would lead to a global manhunt! I hesitated for a moment, and he escaped!”

“I am absolutely certain now, that guy didn't lie to me! He must be a real God Chosen!”

Lin Chuan stroked his chin, pondering something, and then asked, “So, who is he?”

Tang Yiping panted heavily, then tried to calm himself down.

He didn’t answer directly; instead, he turned the tables and blackmailed him: “You want to know about the God Chosen, right?”

“Yes.” Lin Chuan didn’t hide it either.

Tang Yiping breathed a sigh of relief, finally speaking without trembling and with more confidence: “Then you promise not to kill me, and promise that no one else in this Defense Bunker will kill me, and I’ll tell you who that person is!”

As he spoke, feeling that it wasn't reliable enough, he hurriedly added, “You must swear! Swear you won’t…”

His voice stopped abruptly there.

His eyes widened again as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

However, this time, his neck was entangled by wire!

Before he died, Tang Yiping heard an extremely cold sentence in his ear:

“I swear your mom!”

Lin Chuan hated being threatened in his previous life.

And in this life, he not only wanted to be extremely strong but also wanted everything to go his way!

Threats? Swearing?

Heh, are you trying to be funny here?!

A fireball flew from his fingertips, instantly incinerating Tang Yiping's corpse into nothingness!

And at the same time, a system prompt sounded in his mind—

【Ding! Incineration of a Level 1 player! Plundered A-Level Talent Shadow Clone!】

A-Level Shadow Clone Talent!

This was one of Lin Chuan's goals for this trip!

He didn't care about the many prying eyes and directly used this Shadow Clone Talent in front of everyone!

This Talent, in the hands of ordinary people, was actually quite useless.

Because the Shadow Clone's attributes, Talents, skills, etc., must be split from the owner's own body!

For example, if Lin Chuan wanted a Shadow Clone with all attributes at 10.

Then his own attributes would decrease by 10 points in all categories as the Shadow Clone was generated!

For ordinary people, this Talent would turn their five-scum combat power into two two-and-a-half-scum combat powers; the effect might even be worse than their complete five-scum self!

But Lin Chuan was different!

After allocating attributes, Talents, skills, etc., to the clone, he could continue to use fireballs to Incineration and plunder!

At this moment, Lin Chuan’s total attributes were 103!

He only kept 3 points for himself, and allocated the other 100 points entirely to the Shadow Clone!

And some miscellaneous Talents were also completely split and given to the Shadow Clone!

Once everything was complete, a pure black figure suddenly appeared beside him!

Because of its all-black appearance, Lin Chuan named his Shadow Clone 'Xiao Heizi' in his previous life.

In this life, he decided to choose a more low-key name, how about Cai Ji?

Hmm, a bit uncivilized…

Then let's just use a homophone pun and call him Cai Zhiji.

The Shadow Clone had no facial features and couldn't speak, appearing somewhat dull and foolish.

However, he suddenly condensed a basketball-sized, pulsating fireball in his palm, seemingly expressing his affection for this name.
