Survival on the Internet: A Bizarre Start at Sea

Su Zhisu took a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in her heart.

"As expected... the clone also acquired a player identity!"

"And the ability to act independently and gain experience... that's invaluable!"

With a thought, Thorne Sue's player panel instantly appeared clearly in his mind, every detail was immediately apparent.

Su Zhisu examined Thorne Su's panel word by word, his heart filled with considerable turmoil.

"Initial rank: Tier 1, level 1, but this talent is outrageous!"

"The Foundation of Eternity directly raised the maximum sanity value to 150 and merged it with the power of the strange."

"The conversion ratio of spirit to sanity is 1:2. My sanity is now 180, and the recovery speed has been greatly improved. I will never have to worry about insufficient sanity again."

"Physical attributes 20, Spirit 15. The stats description says this is the ultimate in nature. Moreover, with the Marine Iguana Legacy talent, I'll gain an additional (2 * rank) points of natural growth per level and tier. The further I go, the more outrageous my stats will become!"

"Even though my level and rank are low now, my potential far exceeds that of all players of the same rank."

"And there's the Soul Resonance talent, which perfectly synchronizes with the sanity cap of me and my clone, taking the highest value. I'll never have to worry about running out of sanity again!"

"Moreover, it can share some skills and also consume sanity to summon the other side's projection. This is simply a natural god-tier skill for cooperative combat."

Su Zhisu noticed the notes on the panel again and frowned slightly.

"The rank will gradually increase to level 40 of rank 3, but breaking through to level 41 of rank 4 will become significantly more difficult, and it will get harder and harder as you go on?"

"The profession is not yet unlocked, and there are no free attribute points available for the first-tier upgrade..."

"Well, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. With such a talent foundation, it's already at a heaven-defying level. We can figure out how to solve the difficulties later."

"The Marine Iguana's Legacy talent can also naturally increase the level of each tier. Although the difficulty of tier advancement increases after the fourth tier, this natural growth can save a lot of effort."

"This way, after each rank advancement, there's no need to worry about gaining experience."

"With the advantages brought by the Foundation of Eternity and the Soul Resonance talent, my subsequent growth rate will definitely not be slow."

Thorne Su seemed to sense Su Zhisu's thoughts as well. This connection was not accidental, but rather a resonance between their souls.

Su Zhisu could even clearly "see" all the thoughts in Thorne Su's mind, just like information that the subsystem synchronously fed back to the main system.

Thorne Su turned his head slightly and gave Su Zhixu a faint smile: "You've seen my panel?"

Su Zhisu's heart stirred slightly, and a strange feeling immediately welled up in his mind: he could stop the conversation at any time, change Thorne Su's tone, expression, and thoughts at will, and even take over this body directly. Everything about the clone was under his control!

This feeling of talking to yourself is both strange and novel, as if you are standing shoulder to shoulder with another version of yourself, yet you are always from the same source.

"There's no need for formalities between us, I see."

Su Zhisu nodded, his tone carrying a hint of approval, and subtly conveyed his thoughts to Thorne Su.

This transmission required no words; Thorne Sue understood it instantly, just like the main system issuing instructions to the subsystem—smooth and natural.

"Your stats are outstanding. Although you're only at Tier 1, Level 1 right now, your talent is simply phenomenal!"

"The Foundation of Eternity, the Legacy of the Marine Iguana, and the Soul Resonance—each one has immense potential. As they grow, they will undoubtedly become my strongest support."

"It is my honor to be your helper."

Thorne Su said softly, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. This determination was a projection of Su Zhisu's will and a resonance within the clone itself.

"I will gradually adapt to this body and wait for my rank to advance to the second tier to unlock my profession."

"I'll strive to grow up quickly so I can help you share the burden."

Liliana Thea stood to the side, watching the two confirm the final destination of the "Puppet Grip" alchemy workshop, a satisfied smile on her face.

Her gaze toward Thorne Sue was full of tenderness: "Seeing that you have reached a consensus, I am relieved. The legacy of Master Amadeus has found its best home."

As she spoke, she looked at Su Zhixu: "Respected inheritor, thank you for your help!"

"This is my knowledge of puppet alchemy, containing the secrets of soul and life form transformation. Please accept it!"
