Survival in an apartment, starting with a stroke of luck on a plane

As the last day arrived, Lin Yu did not waste a single moment.

He first went to the entertainment area to familiarize himself with the performance of the new equipment.

Next came the resupply procurement. Of course, this time he didn't spend too much game currency on equipment, but instead bought some consumables such as medicine.

Considering the need for talisman drawing and potential appliances, he also bought some inexpensive appliances, as well as a bronze-level apartment facility blueprint [Faucet], which provides five liters of basic water per day.

This is considered preparation for upgrading to a level 5 apartment.

After a shopping spree, looking at his wallet that had shrunk again, Lin Yu could only shake his head helplessly.

As night fell, Lin Yu stopped his intense talisman practice and chose to completely relax.

He ate a hearty dinner, checked all the equipment and props, and sorted out the newly purchased supplies.

Finally, he lay in bed, letting his mind wander.

……

The third round of the game started soon.

You have entered: Humans VS Ghouls Game

This round of the game has 100 players, and players can compete against each other.

[There is no time limit for this round of the game; it continues until all players on one side are eliminated.]

This round of the game is a PVP battle mode, with the factions being humans and ghouls.

[In the game, ten players will be randomly selected to become ghouls. Ghoul players remain human during the day and cannot transform; they can only transform into ghouls at night.]

[The ghoul players are unaware of each other's identities.]

[After transforming into a ghoul, combat power is greatly enhanced, and it cannot be killed by conventional weapons or skills. However, the transformation consumes a large amount of energy, requiring continuous eating to maintain the transformation.]

Human players can obtain in-game items to fight ghouls by exploring the game.

There are no side quests in this game. To compensate players, the rewards for main quests will be increased.

[Friends panel and chat channel are disabled in this game.]

A cold system notification sounded in Lin Yu's mind.

"Is this a faction-based game?" After reading the game introduction, Lin Yu quickly digested the information.

Lin Yu then looked at the taskbar.

Humans vs. Ghouls

Main Quest: Kill all ghouls

Side Quests: None

[Title Quest: The Witcher (Kill 5 or more ghouls; the more you kill, the higher your completion rate.)]

"I didn't expect title quests to appear as well." Lin Yu raised an eyebrow when he saw the title quest in the quest log, but then his expression darkened.

Based on the information above, this mission is definitely not easy. There are only ten ghouls, but they have to fight against ninety human players, which means that their combat power has been greatly enhanced.

Otherwise, this game would be too easy.

The game explicitly states that ghouls cannot be killed by conventional weapons and skills; players must find weapons to fight them within the game, which significantly increases the difficulty of defeating them.

However, if you can find and kill ghouls during the day, the difficulty should be very low.

Of course, Lin Yu wouldn't dare to do that. First of all, he couldn't confirm who the ghoul was, and randomly killing players would easily turn him into a ghoul.

Lin Yu wasn't so arrogant as to think he could defeat all the players.

After closing the panel, Lin Yu used his talent [Otherworldly Gift].

This is his most important asset.

[The gift from another world has been triggered, granting the knowledge [Naruto World: Shadow Clone Technique].]

[Naruto World: Shadow Clone Technique]

Category: Knowledge

Grade: Black#

Effect: After use, you can learn the B-rank ninjutsu from the Naruto world, Shadow Clone Technique (Note: This technique has been modified to fit the game world's energy system.)

(Note: Knowledge-based items require players to learn, understand, and practice on their own to master and use them; they cannot be used directly like skill cards.)

"Shadow Clone Technique?" Lin Yu was slightly surprised to see the item he drew this time. It was actually a knowledge-related item. However, he still knew the great reputation of the Shadow Clone Technique. It was Naruto's famous ninjutsu.

After careful consideration, Lin Yu discovered that this ninjutsu seemed quite good. According to the Naruto series, the shadow clones created by this ninjutsu could assist the original body in learning, because after the shadow clone disappeared, all the things it had experienced, its insights, and even its pain and remaining energy could return to the original body.

This is a truly all-around ability.

He immediately immersed himself in the knowledge about this ninjutsu that was flooding his mind.

The hand seals, the flow of chakra, the principles of clone formation... the amount of information was enormous, but strangely, Lin Yu felt as if he had a profound understanding of it from birth. Those complex energy circulation methods were crystal clear in his mind, without the slightest stagnation.

He tried to mobilize the magic power within his body, and quickly formed a simple hand seal in front of his chest.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

puff!

A puff of white smoke exploded around Lin Yu, and when the smoke cleared, a figure that looked exactly like him appeared in the room.

Their clothing and demeanor were exactly the same.

He succeeded on his first try? This surprised Lin Yu quite a bit. He realized that he seemed to have some understanding of this ability from the beginning, which was why he was able to use it successfully.

It should be noted that this situation did not exist when he obtained the Green Mountain Path Talisman Collection.

Is this a benefit bestowed by talent?

Lin Yu could only guess at that.

Lin Yu sensed it for a moment and found that his main body could clearly perceive the existence of his clone; it was a strange sense of connection.

The clone possesses all of his current memories (up to the moment the clone appeared) and is able to think and act independently, but its core will is absolutely controlled by the original body.

At the same time, a feeling of being hollowed out swept over Lin Yu's body. He glanced at himself and realized that his mana had been reduced by half (90/180).

"The consumption is indeed enormous." Lin Yu sighed, immediately realizing the first drawback of the clone technique.

He quickly checked the status of his clone and eventually came to some conclusions.

First, the duration of the clone is related to the amount of magical power injected and the intensity of the clone's activity. Theoretically, as long as there is enough magical power, the clone can exist indefinitely, but it will disappear immediately once it is destroyed by a powerful attack or actively removed by the main body.

Secondly, just as Lin Yu knew, everything the clone experienced would instantly return to the original body when the clone was dispelled, including the memories, feelings, and even... the mental impact of the pain and injury suffered.

This is the second huge risk: if the clone is severely injured or even killed, the instantaneous pain is enough to cause the main body to have a mental breakdown or temporarily lose its fighting ability.

Therefore, this skill should be used with caution, as Lin Yu does not believe he has a strong ability to tolerate pain.

In addition, the clone possesses the physical attributes and combat skills of the original body in its current state (knowledge also counts as combat skills), but cannot use the skills attached to equipment or the skills of skill cards.

Its "equipment" is merely an illusion, with defensive capabilities far lower than its actual equipment. Its attack power is based on its own strength and skill.

But that's enough.

The greatest value of a clone lies in its ability to conduct reconnaissance, act as a decoy, gather information, and share risks, especially in the current environment where communication is cut off and it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe.

The existence of clones can help Lin Yu avoid a lot of risks.
