#426 - Chapter 425 Beware of the Clone
“An immortal has descended! Hasten to kneel and welcome him!”
Before long, Qi Jing heard an extremely arrogant voice coming from the sky. He looked up and saw Xiao Fifteen himself flying over on a sword.
However, this time he was dressed as a white-haired sword immortal, a far cry from his short black hair of the past two days. It was probably to prevent others from associating the 'Carefree Immortal' with 'Xiao Fifteen'.
“Kneel and welcome? Why don't you just ask me to prostrate every three steps and kowtow every five?”
Xiao Fifteen landed as Qi Jing spoke, changing back to his black-haired appearance. At the same time, he removed the invisibility spells from Tan Zuoyin and Sikong Yaoyao, who he had been carrying behind him.
Then he raised his head, pointed at Qi Jing with his nostrils, and grinned:
“It's not like it's impossible.”
“Get lost. You brought me here just to draw your city lord clone, right?”
Qi Jing pointed to the white-clothed clone still cultivating with closed eyes on the eaves.
Even with Xiao Fifteen's main body here, he hadn't moved at all, showing how dedicated he was as a cultivation tool.
Xiao Fifteen said:
“That's right. He possesses all my cultivation methods. If you draw him, it can make your physique and mental strength grow faster.”
Qi Jing looked up at the city lord clone, then at Xiao Fifteen, and said:
“I still want to draw your main body first.”
Although Xiao Fifteen had more skills and a wider range of prizes, he still wanted to draw a clone skill or a technique related to luck.
As for cultivation methods, he wasn't in a hurry to obtain them.
In terms of physique, he was a genius in the Source Power Cultivation Method, having completed its third stage—automatic circulation—early on. Plus, with the Spider-Man physique enhancement, he wasn't lacking in that area yet.
As for mental strength, he had drunk mental strength enhancement potions twice, and he often used his brain, so the growth rate was also very fast. Anyway, there was no rush.
“Alright, although the probability is low, you still have to have dreams.”
Xiao Fifteen stretched out his right hand.
Seeing this, Sikong Yaoyao skillfully applied the strongest blessing to Qi Jing and nodded in acknowledgment.
“Draw!”
This was the fourth level five esper that Qi Jing had drawn.
What would he draw?
Skill!
Careful Clone: Can summon up to fifty clones by your side, with the same appearance as the main body; each clone can only copy two special equipment to carry; the effectiveness of all equipment is ten percent of the original equipment (using equipment with usage counts will also consume the original equipment's counts); each clone can only possess one special ability of its own; each clone will automatically disappear after taking a certain amount of damage; the duration of the clone is determined by the infused Source Power; all clones' consciousness is not shared and is single-threaded; will obey the main body's commands.
What a long description!
Qi Jing took a long time to understand what this skill did.
In short, it could summon fifty clones that obeyed his commands, each clone could only have one ability and two pieces of equipment, but the equipment could only exert ten percent of its power.
The other descriptions were all limitations.
There were duration limits, health limits, and intelligence limits.
The 'single-threaded' part clearly meant that the clones weren't very smart. If they tried to do two things at the same time, their brains would definitely fry.
But it was enough!
Without distance restrictions, able to go out for him, it was the best skill!
“What did you draw? You're smiling like an idiot.”
Hearing Xiao Fifteen's words, Qi Jing came back to his senses, put away the smile that was almost drooling, and said:
“Ahem, I drew a clone skill.”
“Tch, I thought you drew a secret technique of luck, scared me to death.”
Xiao Fifteen was really afraid that Qi Jing would connect him and the nation's luck together.
This kid looked like a wimp, but he might really dare to do it.
Fortunately, it was just a clone.
“Show it off?”
“Careful Clone!”
“Careful of whose clone?”
“No, I mean, my skill is called Careful Clone.”
As soon as Qi Jing finished speaking, a clone that looked exactly like him appeared behind him.
This clone was also wearing the short-sleeved shirt that Qi Jing was wearing, holding an umbrella sword in his hand, and wearing a non-pain armband.
However, after being summoned, he was like a wooden man, standing still, like a blockhead compared to Xiao Fifteen's vibrant clone.
“Take a few steps.”
Clone Number One walked around the small courtyard very normally.
Sikong Yaoyao curiously ran over and stuck out her leg, wanting to trip him, but he directly bypassed it, not really being tripped like a blockhead.
“Not bad.”
“Of course, my clone is very powerful. See that umbrella sword in his hand? It possesses ten percent of my original umbrella sword's power.”
Hearing Qi Jing's words, Tan Zuoyin widened her eyes and said:
“Ten percent of indestructible is still indestructible, ah. Then isn't it almost the same as the sword in your hand?”
Qi Jing nodded:
“That's right. I'm wondering if I can use many umbrella swords at the same time.”
If he could, he could get fifty indestructible umbrella swords. Even if he couldn't use them all, tying them together as a super shield would be super awesome.
“Give me the umbrella sword.”
Under Qi Jing's command, the clone handed the umbrella sword in his hand to Qi Jing.
Equipment could really be separated from the clone!
Qi Jing tried to use Sword Control Technique to shoot the umbrella sword into the sky. At first, it was fine, but when it rose to about two hundred meters, it suddenly dissipated.
Then Qi Jing found that it had returned to the clone's hand.
“Here you go.”
Looking at the umbrella sword handed out again by the clone, Qi Jing roughly knew its limitations.
The equipment carried by the clone could only be two hundred meters away from the clone, otherwise it would return to his hand.
It seemed that the idea of renting out the umbrella sword was going to fail.
However, why was it two hundred meters?
His own mental perception range was also two hundred meters. Was it a coincidence?
Or was it related to his mental strength? As long as his mental strength increased, this distance limit could be further!
“Two hundred meters? Enough, enough, I can also play with your umbrella sword.”
Sikong Yaoyao reached out to grab the umbrella sword from the clone's hand, wanting to try it.
But the clone held on tightly, refusing to give it to her.
The ability carried by this clone was Qi Jing's Spider-Man physique. If he wanted to hold on, Sikong Yaoyao would definitely not be able to snatch it.
Seeing this scene, Tan Zuoyin analyzed:
“The clone's order is to hand the umbrella sword to Qi Jing, so he won't let you snatch the umbrella sword. The reason he doesn't attack you may be that he knows it's wrong to attack you, or he can only think of protecting the umbrella sword.”
The former meant that the clone had a certain amount of intelligence, even Qi Jing's complete intelligence and memory, and would not attack Sikong Yaoyao while obeying orders.
The latter meant that he was really stupid.
The way to distinguish it was to let a strange beast come to snatch it, and see if he attacked or held on tightly.
If he attacked, it meant that he could distinguish between enemies and friends.
If he held on tightly, then the scope of use of this clone skill would be greatly reduced. Being too stupid was always not good for doing things.
