Chapter 884: Sending Away Part of the Alternate Personalities

"If I were to send some alternate personalities out now, versus spending 50 million points to send them all out at once, what are the pros and cons of each?"

[Ding! The difference is minimal, both involve sending alternate personalities away!]

[However, it matters greatly to the 112 alternate personalities. Because, they all want to leave early, to obtain their own bodies and freedom.]

Lying on the soft dirt ground by the riverbank, though this patch of dirt happened to have a stretch of green grass on it.

The reclining Jiang Ran gazed up at the azure sky, dotted with a scattering of sparse clouds.

This was a sky so common it could be seen anywhere.

Jiang Ran remembered that when he was a child, he used to look up at it often, but as he grew older, he found himself looking at it less and less, paying attention to it less and less.

"Come to think of it, I've been with these alternate personalities for so long, but it's like we're all strangers to each other. I don't know a single one of them."

"Do they feel the same way about me?"

This time, the System did not answer his question.

Staring at the sky for over ten minutes, Jiang Ran seemed to have reached a decision:

"Forget it, might as well finish the job completely. Since they're so eager to leave early, then let's send some of them out!"

[Ding! Please decide which alternate personalities will leave early?]

"Uh... I don't know any of them. You pick randomly, let's leave it to luck."

[Ding! May I ask how many the host wishes to send away?]

"Hmm... out of 112, let's keep 50!"

[Ding! That means sending away 62.]

[May I ask if the host confirms the consumption of points to send away 62 alternate personalities?]

"Confirmed, send them off. I just hope that if they ever run into me in the future, they'll treat me civilly, and never think about trying to harm me."

Inner landscape world.

An incredibly boisterous cheer erupted from within the small town.

The alternate personalities living in this small town were all shouting things like: "Jiang Ran! Jiang Ran!" and other words of gratitude.

After all, for them, being able to leave even one second earlier was cause for celebration.

Therefore, this unexpected early departure that no one saw coming today was an absolutely delightful surprise.

It was also the kindness that the current Jiang Ran was showing to these alternate personalities.

Amidst the continuous cheers.

The Danger Warning System's cold, mechanical voice echoed through the inner landscape world:

[Random selection of 62 alternate personalities will now begin, to leave the inner landscape world.]

[The 62 selected alternate personalities will receive the benefit of choosing their own bodies.]

[That is to say, you may choose to be Asian, white, or black.]

[Including your own appearance, whether handsome or ugly, and your height.]

[Your nationality.]

[However, you cannot go beyond what is realistic in an outrageous manner.]

[Therefore, your bodies are yours to decide, with complete freedom.]

[Once your selections are complete, you will be sent directly to the countries corresponding to the nationalities you have chosen.]

[Moreover, you will be provided with local identities right away.]

[After that, you will have no further ties to Jiang Ran, and will embark on your own life adventures.]

This announcement was repeated three times.

The alternate personalities in the inner landscape world all heard it clearly, remembered it clearly.

[Next, the random selection of lucky winners will begin.]

When the System's voice ended.

Many alternate personalities were praying to be chosen.

Blue-haired Jiang Ran also hoped to be selected early, but he didn't know why.

His sixth sense told him that he was definitely not one of the 62 lucky winners.

Sure enough, he found that, just like before, he felt completely normal with no changes at all.

He turned his head to look at an alternate personality about a dozen meters to his right.

That alternate personality's exclamation of surprise had caught his attention.

Then, he saw that alternate personality's entire body being enveloped in a golden light.

The golden light lasted for a second, then vanished along with that alternate personality.

That was what a chosen lucky winner looked like.

This golden light appeared a total of 62 times.

In an instant, a huge chunk of the population in this small town of the inner landscape world disappeared, leaving only 50 alternate personalities behind.

"Oh ho, all the familiar faces are still here?"

Blue-haired Jiang Ran noticed that the ones he usually hung out with the most, like Smoky Makeup Jiang Ran, Noble Jiang Ran, Judge Jiang Ran, and the others, were all still around.

Seeing that these people were all still present, he felt a sense of balance in his heart.

Noble Jiang Ran smiled and said, "Most of the ones randomly selected to leave this time are trash, though there were a few decent ones."

"I hope they don't get caught when they commit crimes in this world, or else they might already be dead by the time we get out."

Judge Jiang Ran held a cup of coffee that he'd gotten from who knows where.

Taking a sip, he said:

"Don't worry, by the time we get out, a good number of them will have definitely ended up in prison, or even dead."

"Before the transmigration, when we were on Earth."

"When they controlled the body and did whatever they wanted, don't forget, back then Jiang Ran's body wasn't quite Superman, but it was pretty close to a mini-Superman."

"After the transmigration, even though we've been staying in the inner landscape world, there were still times when we had to go out and clean up the messes."

"And when cleaning up messes, even though this body is just an ordinary person's body, there's still the System, which allows spending points to heal injuries, and even to resurrect."

"They've gotten used to relying on these two advantages. Once they go out, I'm afraid they won't adapt at first, leading to major screw-ups."

Jiang Ran Who Doesn't Kill said, "Heh heh, then they better fend for themselves."

Outside world.

[Ding! All 62 alternate personalities have now been sent out of your body, dispersed across the world!]

Jiang Ran: "That fast?"

Checking the time, only about ten-plus minutes had passed.

Jiang Ran: "So, they're now living, breathing people just like me?"

[Correct! Just like the host.]

Jiang Ran: "Wait, they don't look exactly like me too, do they?!"

[Ding! No! They can freely choose their own body conditions.]

[For example, appearance, height, ethnicity, gender, and even nationality.]

Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He was genuinely afraid that dozens of alternate personalities would be walking around sharing his exact face.

"So this is basically the same as entering a game and creating your own game character, you can even customize your face."

"Hey, so that means they can just make themselves as handsome as they want?"

"Then if I run into them in the future, will I be able to tell that they used to be my alternate personalities?"

[No way to know, unless the host is willing to spend 100 points for a scan to confirm.]

"So, can they tell when they run into each other?"

[No, they can't either. Unless they voluntarily reveal their identities to each other, they'll be complete strangers.]

"So, how many points do I have left now?"

[Ding! Reporting to the host, you have 14.43 million points remaining!]

"I still have that much?"

Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment.

But he didn't plan on sending out all the remaining alternate personalities.

He'd already sent out more than half.

After all, he still needed to stay at Alice Apartment to keep accumulating points. He was afraid that if he released more alternate personalities, and then found himself in danger with no one left to clean up the mess.

Thud.

At that moment, Jiang Ran sat up, picked up a small stone from beside him, and tossed it forward. The stone dropped into the water, splashing up a tiny spray of droplets.

He pulled out his phone.

In such a beautiful environment, playing on his phone felt far more refreshing and uplifting than doing the same thing at home.
