Chapter 435: Double
“Double.”
“Ah...”
Gao Yang didn’t hide his disappointment before the system. “It’s not House. Am I not supposed to be lucky? But I can’t even win the jackpot with a one in a third chance?”
“How can you be sure that comprehending Double is unlucky?” The dorm keeper cocked her head and smiled.
Ugh, you’re being cryptic again, system.
Gao Yang sighed. Forget it. He should be content with comprehending a Talent with only two tries.
“Tell me about Double, system. The Talent list doesn’t have detailed information.”
“Double, serial number 65, Support-type.” The dorm keeper started explaining. “Level 1 Double allows the creation of 1 double for 10 seconds.”
“Level 2 Double allows the creation of 1 double for 30 seconds.”
“Level 3 Double allows the creation of 1 double with concrete form for 1 minute.”
“Level 4 Double allows the creation of 1 double with concrete form, and the double has 15% of the owner’s stats. It will last 1 minute provided it isn’t destroyed by enemies.”
Gao Yang grasped the key information quickly. “So the double created with level 3 Double can act, and that of level 4 Double can even put up a fight.”
“Yes.”
“What about level 5?”
“In addition to what’s possible with level 4 Double, double created once the Talent reaches level 5 will be able to use the other Talents of the owner with 20% stats and 20% Talent power.”
“It’s a good Talent.” Gao Yang felt better about the Luck points he had used.
“Stats bonuses of level 1 Double: Constitution + 10, Endurance + 10, Attack + 10, Agility + 10, Willpower + 10, Charisma + 10. Status Screen updated automatically.”
With a wave of her hand, she conjured a translucent screen.

Gao Yang nodded. “Alright. I’m off.”
On the suited man’s left was a short, fat bald man with an ugly face covered in scars. There were lumpy bumps all over his head.
On the right was the one in a heavy white spacesuit, face obscured by the dome-shaped helmet.
Gao Yang immediately recognized them as Tails’ No.10, Hyena, and Astronaut from left to right.
Lithe Snake recognized his sworn enemy at first glance too. Face dark with burning rage, he quickly drew the shortsword sheathed by his waist.
“Patience.” Gao Yang kept Lithe Snake’s arm down, making him a promise. “I’ll let you have your revenge, but first, we must learn as much about them as possible.”
Officer Huang added, “You’ve been looking for him for twenty years, Lithe Snake. Another few minutes aren’t long in comparison.”
The fire in Lithe Snake’s eyes dimmed, and he calmed down quickly, putting the shortsword back.
Gao Yang enhanced his hearing to the limit, but still couldn’t make out what the three of them were saying.
“Dammit, we’re too far. I can’t hear them.”
Gao Yang paused and turned to look at Nainai.
Nainai knew what he was thinking. “I can shrink myself down, but we’re too far from them. Once I reach them, they will have already finished talking.”
“Allow me.” Qing Ling curled her fingers, and a Black Gold dart flew in front of Nainai.
Nainai’s lips twitched. “Oh, right. That works.”
She shrunk down to the size of a pinky and jumped onto the dart hovering near the ground, making a cool posture like a cultivator flying on a sword. “Let’s go.”
“You better hold on tight,” Qing Ling warned her in a low voice.
Immediately intimidated, Nainai lay down on the dart instead, putting her arms and legs around it.
Swoosh.
The dart, with Nainai riding on it, quickly flew across the ground, quietly approaching the three people at the front door.
“Ahhhh—”
Nainai felt as if she was on a rollercoaster ride. She screamed, but her scream was no louder than a mosquito and didn’t attract any attention.
About three seconds later, the dart had already found a shadow to hide in near the three.
Their conversation reached Nainai.
“This is the last time,” Hyena said irritatedly.
