"One-Star Windfury Key," "One-Star Storm Key," "One-Star Space Key," "Two-Star Resentment Key," and the "One-Star Moonlight Key" he obtained from Gu Yueyan finally amounted to enough materials for synthesis.

First, he synthesized One-Star Keys into Two-Star Keys. Soon, Ren Suo obtained the "Two-Star Moonlight Key" and "Two-Star Space Key." After merging them with the "Two-Star Resentment Key," Ren Suo got—

"Three-Star Key."

"Huh? Where's the extra effect?" Ren Suo was stunned for a moment. He went back to check the synthesis rules carefully and saw a passage he had overlooked:

"When all the materials for the Key are broken down to their simplest form, and the number of Low-Star Keys (keys below Two-Star) exceeds half, the Key will lose its special effects."

So, One-Star Keys can be synthesized into Two-Star Keys, but using these 'artificially made' Two-Star Keys to synthesize a Three-Star Key causes the loss of effects, huh… Ren Suo muttered.

Although Ren Suo didn't place much faith in his luck, the prospect of a Three-Star Key potentially drawing extra items was high, so he felt a bit depressed to lose this opportunity.

Ren Suo understood from this system that the Mini-World Game Console didn't encourage him to 'farm low-level Awakeners for Keys.' Instead, it hoped he would obtain Keys from powerful Awakeners; otherwise, he could forget about extra rewards.

Next was the exciting time to open the Treasure Box—

Ren Suo rubbed his hands together but hesitated for a moment when choosing which one; he couldn't distinguish which of the two Third-Level Treasure Chests came from which game.

Currently, he had cleared two Three-Star Games: "Devouring the Spirit of the World" and "Infinite Intrusion."

Looking back at his Treasure Box rewards, Ren Suo surmised that his rewards were somewhat related to the games. For instance, the "Goddess Jade Pendant" came from "Over My Dead Body," and "Combat Basics" originated from "Assassin"—though "Good Dream Technique" was due to Key effects and had no trace in any game.

Theoretically, the Treasure Box from a game should yield items from that particular game. Ren Suo initially wanted to choose, but he couldn't tell which Treasure Box came from which game. As for the order they were received... Sorry, I just clicked 'Sort by Type.'

Then it's random, he thought.

"You used a 'Three-Star Key' to open this Treasure Box."

"You received the Skill 'Struggle Warrior (Damaged).'"

Struggle Warrior? Ren Suo was taken aback. Was it one of his trump cards from "Devouring the Spirit of the World"?

In the game, the effect of Struggle Warrior was to give the Devouring the Spirit of the World a 100% Cloning quota, allowing the Devouring the Spirit of the World to allocate this quota to create Clones; a 100% quota meant a Clone with combat power exactly equal to the Devouring the Spirit of the World.

"Struggle Warrior (Damaged)"

"Quality Rank: Three-Star Ability, Prerequisites: None."

"Effect: Using this Ability, the Player will obtain a Clone identical to themselves (thoughts, habits, physique, Knowledge). The Clone cannot think independently and needs direction to act (Player cannot remotely control the Clone), and command can be transferred to another person. Depending on the combat power of the Clone, the duration varies from 1 minute to 180 minutes, with a cooldown of 24 hours."

"Special Note: The inherited combat power of the Clone shall not exceed 76,000, does not inherit prop effects, but does inherit Ability effects, cannot independently switch Abilities, and can trigger the Key Search System."

"Note: Don't even think about it. Even if you command the Clone to learn, the learning experience won't transfer to your brain."

The note on this Skill was quite insightful and immediately saw through Ren Suo's thoughts—he had thought this Ability had a similar effect to some large-scale Cloning learning bug Forbidden Technique.

As with other Cloning Techniques, it can only summon a Hitman for use... no, that's not entirely true, using it as a house cleaner is also a possibility, Ren Suo mused; he had already planned to let the Clone do the next major cleaning.

The special note specified that the Clone's inherited combat power should not exceed 76,000. This figure puzzled Ren Suo, who pondered for a few minutes before recalling—that was the Combat Power Value when I cleared Devouring the Spirit of the World!

Ren Suo didn't hold out much hope that his own combat power could reach the heights of the Devouring the Spirit of the World. As for the duration's relation to combat power, with Ren Suo's current strength, maintaining it for about two hours would probably still be well within his capacity.

It's a bit of a hassle to always be in command, Ren Suo thought. Aside from being a House Husband running errands and shopping, the Cloning Technique isn't much use in reality.

Otherwise, if someone saw me commanding an identical Clone to walk down the street, the crowd might suspect the Earth server had crashed: "Mom, look, that person's texture is splitting!"

But having acquired the Ability, he had to try it out.

Ren Suo immediately equipped the Ability and quietly thought, Activate 'Struggle Warrior (Damaged)'!

A moment later, a naked Clone identical to Ren Suo appeared before him.

Seeing someone identical to myself streaking in the living room feels oddly bizarre, Ren Suo thought, feeling a bit embarrassed as he examined the Clone.

At the same time, Ren Suo also knew the duration of this Clone: 2 hours and 53 minutes.

The longer the duration, the weaker this Ren Suo must be... However, Ren Suo wasn't upset. Instead, he was quite happy to have a Clone that could be used for such a long time. He directed the Clone to get dressed and then tackle a major cleaning of the house.

Meanwhile, he started gaming himself.

He began the fourth level of "Mage Under the World Tree," creating a very handsome red-haired Magician. Since causing a 'life-and-death separation' in level three, Ren Suo was somewhat looking forward to seeing if someone would fall for his game character.

COUGH. COUGH. I just think it's interesting, I don't intentionally... okay, I am indeed hoping someone will fall for the Magician, and then have the Magician die a heroic death, Ren Suo thought. In an epic fantasy adventure, love, hatred, and separation seem to make it truly popcorn-worthy. Always grinding Strange Creatures gets a bit boring; interactions with Earthlings, on the other hand, are quite amusing.

The fourth level was a beautiful forest, but he didn't see any Earthlings, just a bunch of Goblins and other Lower Magical Creatures.

Red Hood and the others landed alongside the Magician, and the fourth level's companions also quietly appeared: a Female Mage in a hood and black trench coat.

"I am Magic-Armed Mage Nimue. Hehe, I didn't expect to see you folks again; seems like the foreign Magician really has some tricks up his sleeve," Nimue sneered.

Red Hood mused aloud, "Ah, how can I make you 'accidentally' die in battle later?"

Lunpena twirled her walking stick, remarking, "Everything is arranged by Destiny. Although I don't quite like this meeting, I will accept it peacefully."

Elaine snapped, "Stop arguing, you undying bunch! Aren't we all going to die together soon? Can't we talk after we're dead?"

These Magicians, whether Holy Hand, Magic Arm, or Destiny types, nearly always clashed fiercely and seemed uncomfortable if they didn't trade sarcastic barbs upon meeting. Ren Suo was used to it and quickly led them to engage the Strange Creatures.

After the first three levels disappeared, the power of the Holy Grail fell into the remaining four levels, and the strength of the Strange Creatures indeed increased. This time, without the help of the Earth's army, Ren Suo was sure it would be a prolonged battle; he wouldn't see the boss unless he gamed all night.

With foresight, Ren Suo called over the Clone, who was still busy cleaning. "Go to the cafeteria on the third floor and buy a large portion of Little Long, a large portion of stir-fried river snails, a bowl of wontons, and barbecued items... barbecued items within 100 Points. You should know how to choose, right?"

The Clone nodded. "I know your taste preferences."

"Alright, here's the Wristband. Get everything to go." Ren Suo thought for a moment, then called out to the Clone, "If you meet anyone you know on the way, greet them warmly... never mind, better not interact. Just respond with a friendly smile."

The Clone nodded to show he understood. Ren Suo felt reassured and continued gaming.

It's a Minor World product, so it must be top-quality. Plus, this is a Clone that will disappear soon, so there's naturally nothing to worry about, Ren Suo mused. And with my instructions being so clear, what could the Clone possibly mess up?
