A Core Ship From The Start

"............"

Looking at this scene, Duanmu Huai was speechless. Content originally comes from novel·fire.net

Isn’t this the character I customized in the game back then?

Damn, everyone else’s shadow clone creates the original body, why did mine create a game character?

"............"

Staring at the character he made in the game, Duanmu Huai felt a mix of emotions, while the latter stood there like a puppet, motionless. Duanmu Huai tried again and discovered that the clone would only move if he concentrated his consciousness to control it. Otherwise, it was no different from a lifeless doll.

After reading the system description, Duanmu Huai finally understood that the shadow ability of this Old God was kind of... special.

To put it plainly, this shadow clone isn’t created out of thin air. Instead, it requires copying the original body, like duplicating a file. Only after collecting the original’s data information can the shadow clone be created. In other words, it’s not like the ninjas in comics and novels Duanmu Huai read, who form a seal and then "whoosh," a bunch of clones materialize to rush forth and beat someone up.

"What a hassle..."

To be honest, after reading this description, Duanmu Huai felt exasperated with this ability. Initially, he thought he’d be able to create a bunch of shadow clones and charge into battle. But now it seems impossible. Still, there’s one advantage—the shadow clone replicates not only the opponent but also their memories, and it completely obeys Duanmu Huai’s commands.

Which means, in the future, if I catch some enemy spy or mole, I won’t even need to interrogate them. I just copy their memories using the shadow clone, and bam—I know everything. After that, let the clone kill the original and take their place. Maybe it could even infiltrate the enemy’s faction and pull off some "deep undercover" trick...
