"Huh?" Su Mu was stunned, instinctively scratching his head. "What's going on now? The apartment system has this function too? It wasn't mentioned in the previous panels..."
Before he could process it, the notification panel refreshed again.
[Talent [Clone] Awakened Successfully]
[Clone Lv. 1: Can create 1 physical clone (another self). Sensory sharing is optional. Clones will absolutely execute any command from the main body. Clone level is synchronized with the main body. Upon a clone's death, you may choose to revive it or generate a new one. The main body shares all abilities possessed by the clone. The main body can perform operations such as Dispel, Recall, and Position Swap on clones.]
[Friendly Reminder: Congratulations on awakening your Talent. Please proceed to the nearest [Hero Association] for registration as soon as possible.]
[Friendly Reminder: Experience and Gold Coins can be obtained by hunting monsters. Meeting experience requirements will increase your own level. Gold Coins can be used to upgrade Talent levels or trade with other Heroes.]
"Experience, Gold... and I can even level up my Talent?"
Su Mu's eyes lit up. He quickly opened the Apartment Store to check his balance—after buying the cake, he had 9,976 Gold Coins left.
He tried using his mind to click the plus sign next to the Clone talent on the panel.
[Gold Coins -1,000. Clone Lv. 1 → Clone Lv. 2. Maximum number of clones +1.]
A flash of pale blue light signaled the successful upgrade. The number of available clones changed to two.
"It actually works! Is this a hidden function of the apartment? Or... a gift for reaching adulthood?"
Su Mu raised an eyebrow in pleasant surprise.
But soon, a new doubt cropped up.
"But why did it prompt me to register at the Hero Association? And trading with other heroes... do the other heroes in this world have systems too?"
Su Mu frowned, thinking for a long while without finding a clear answer.
"Whatever, I'll test the effects of this talent first."
He shrugged, deciding not to overthink it.
In many harem-themed works, clones were considered a "poisonous plot point," but since these clones executed his orders with absolute obedience, they were essentially the perfect tools.
Since he didn't want to leave the house anyway, any future tasks that required going out—like gathering information or scavenging for supplies—could be handled by his clones.
Furthermore, with sensory sharing, he could understand the outside world without ever stepping foot outside. It was a talent tailor-made for a shut-in like him.
With that thought, Su Mu didn't hesitate. He focused his mind and activated the [Clone] talent.
The next second, he felt a warm current of air separate from his body and land on the carpet in front of him.
The current gradually condensed into a mass of blurred flesh. The mass squirmed and shifted, quickly growing a head, limbs, and facial features. Its form rapidly approached that of a human.
If an ordinary person had witnessed this bloody transformation process, they likely would have vomited in disgust.
But Su Mu had spent years consuming all sorts of hardcore anime and novels; he was long accustomed to such scenes. Far from feeling uncomfortable, he leaned in with great interest to watch.
Soon, the transformation of the flesh mass stopped.
A pink-haired girl, completely naked, appeared before Su Mu. Her pink hair was shoulder-length, and her eyes were a beautiful gradient of pink and blue. Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were so exquisite they looked as if they had been lifted straight out of an anime.
As Su Mu took in the girl's appearance, his eyes widened, and his mouth fell open involuntarily. Because...
"Why aren't you wearing clothes?! And why are you a girl? Also... why do you look so familiar?!"
The more he looked, the more familiar she became. A specific figure flashed through his mind, and he blurted out:
"March 7th?!"
That's right—the girl before him was the very same March 7th from the game Honkai: Star Rail he used to play! And a stark-naked version at that!
"Oh my, Main Body, no need to be so surprised" March 7th blinked her vibrant eyes, a playful smile curling onto her lips. Her tone carried a hint of mischief. "This way, the clone isn't a 'poison point,' right? You can even start a harem directly"
"...So, what exactly is going on?" Su Mu pressed a hand to his forehead, feeling like his brain was struggling to keep up. "Are you sure you're my clone—another 'me'? Are you sure my talent is 'Clone' and not 'Summon'?"
"It's definitely 'Clone.' As for why I look like this... it's a conflict of settings, of course!" March 7th put her hands on her hips, striking a pose as if she'd just had a bright idea, her tone remaining playful. "After all, your Goddess Apartment only welcomes beautiful girls or cute creatures~ Oh, I'm not saying you aren't cute, Main Body... Okay, fine. Actually, the Clone talent is conceptual. Because what you wanted in your heart was a clone like this, I became like this!"
"Conceptual..."
Su Mu was stunned for a moment, but upon reflection, it actually made sense.
When he created the apartment, his mind was filled with beautiful girls. When he awakened his talent... his mind was still filled with beautiful girls.
Once he understood this point, he accepted the setting, though he still felt a bit helpless.
"How about you put some clothes on before we keep talking? I'm not really used to this."
Even as he said it, Su Mu was thinking: If a clone absolutely executes any command, and now the clone is a beautiful girl, doesn't that mean I can... interact?
"Wear clothes?" March 7th tilted her head, a flash of cunning in her eyes. "How about... we don't for now? Main Body, how about we head to the bathroom?"
"What for?" Su Mu asked instinctively.
March 7th leaned in close, her warm breath tickling his ear. Her voice was soft and sweet, carrying a trace of temptation.
"For... exactly what you're thinking in your heart, Main Body... some quality time~"
"...Hey! How can those words come out of March 7th's mouth?!"
Su Mu immediately retorted, but at the same time, that specific scene involuntarily played in his mind, and his heart rate began to climb.
"Even though I have the appearance of March 7th, I am essentially your clone~" March 7th smiled and blinked, proactively reaching out to take Su Mu's arm. "Are you coming or not?"
Su Mu looked at her exquisite face so close to his own and felt the soft sensation against his arm. He hesitated for less than a second before nodding decisively.
"I'm coming!"
With things already at this stage, refusing would be doing himself a massive disservice!
He picked March 7th up directly and walked quickly toward the bathroom.
March 7th giggled in his arms, not resisting in the slightest.
Soon, the sound of splashing water came from the bathroom, accompanied by March 7th's charming, soft sighs.
