Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

"The second rule is what Zhang Jie mentioned before, the theory that the greater the danger, the greater the reward."

"From a macro perspective, this is indeed the case, but in my opinion, the specific situation is not absolute, because the different ways and methods of completing a task can lead to huge differences."

"For example, if you were in the main god space, according to your original idea, Zheng Zha, it would be just you, or you, Li Xiao, and Xiao Honglu."

"Let's not talk about whether you will encounter a group of sorcerers. Even if you do, you are not 100% sure that you can defeat him."

"Of course, there are also the four special-grade cursed spirits huddled together."

"The most likely scenario is to let them escape."

"So in my opinion, danger, luck, and fighting ability are all indispensable."

Zheng Zha interrupted and said, "So you mean to say that this sentence is wrong?"

Chu Xuan shook his head decisively: "No, on the contrary, this sentence is correct. The method of completing the task is closely related to the task itself, but don't forget that who completes the task depends on the Lord God."

"The Lord God has only one hidden mechanism, and that is evolution. I have already mentioned this before."

"The next one is the third one. This one is my guess and has not been confirmed yet."

"That is, the more people who complete the side quests, the more people will get reward points and side plots."

Chen Zilong was stunned when he heard this, then thought for a moment and said:

"Uh? Why isn't it confirmed? Wasn't it like this during The Mummy?"

"Some of those monkeys were not killed by me, but there were still reward points on my head in the end, right?"

"The most outrageous thing is that Li Ru from the UK actually has bonus points. It's just too outrageous."

"And the main quests, aren't they all group rewards?"

Chu Xuan said directly:

"The main quest doesn't count. There is only one forest guardian among the mummies. I suspect that the reason you faced such a being at that time was because you took a tricky approach to complete the quest, which led to the Lord God designing it this way."

“After all, the use of high-powered weapons did speed up the process in the first half.

Otherwise, in my opinion, even if everything happens in an instant, we will only be able to arrive at the last possible moment given by the Lord God."

"That's why the forest guardians appeared later. This group of monkeys that can evolve infinitely, facing such difficulties, only rewards like this can match them."

"And I don't know if you've noticed that when facing Kayako and other tasks in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, the Lord God split up the side plots and reward points that should have been obtained and distributed them to all the team members who completed these tasks, and even overpriced them to a certain extent."

"For example, the original Shan Tong was supposed to be a B-level side story with 4,500 reward points, but after you cooperated to kill him, it became three C-level side stories. This has not changed, but the reward points have increased."

"And the Great Tengu and Mu Mei back then were all like this."

"So why didn't you try to have as many team members attack the other side as possible when facing the same mission target?"

"Instead of being divided into two teams due to time constraints?"

"Of course, maybe..."

Zheng Zha quickly followed up:
"Oh, I understand. Chu Xuan, what you mean is that if everyone attacked the targets of the mission, such as Daitengu, and finally killed them, there would be certain reward points even if there were no rewards for the side story?"

Chu Xuan looked at Zheng Zha's expression as if he was about to praise me, and said helplessly:

"No, I didn't finish because I already know the answer, which is that there is no additional benefit."

"Because I have already let Zhang Heng try it just now."

"When I decided to attack the real person, I immediately asked Zhang Heng to activate the Twelve Prison Love Array through Zhan Lan."

"Do you think those special-grade cursed spirits can be so impulsive and brainless?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zha and Chen Zilong looked at the little brother in the corner in astonishment, their faces full of disbelief.

Expression on face:
No, brother, you didn’t even tell me about this big thing we were talking about for a long time?

Chen Zilong responded quickly:

"No, wait, the Twelve Prison Love Array is useful against cursed spirits?"

Zhang Heng in the corner said weakly:

"Although I don't know the principle, maybe they are humanoid beings, but it is indeed useful."

"It's even easier to affect their emotions than ordinary people. I think it may have something to do with their extreme personalities."

"After all, they are made up of negative emotions and are more likely to go to extremes."

After hearing Zhang Heng's words, the three of them nodded.

Li Xiao suddenly looked at Chu Xuan:

"You just said that you solved the three cursed spirits, so where is the real person?"

"Is it the fourth cursed spirit that possesses the power of inaction transformation?"

"You didn't kill him?"

Chu Xuan raised his right hand, and a blue flesh ball appeared from the gap in his palm, and then his fingers closed and disappeared again.

"No, I didn't kill him."

Chu Xuan retracted his hand and pushed up his glasses, poured himself a cup of tea, and said lightly:

"This is not important."

"Listen carefully to what I'm going to say next. What I just wanted to say is that in order to complete a side story mission, you need a necessary partner to obtain the side story and reward points."

"It's not like what you said, that anyone can get bonus points for just one attack."

"The simplest question is, did Zhang Heng's Twelve Prison Love Array work? It definitely worked, but what percentage of the credit did it give to the completion of this mission?"

"Or in other words, whether Zhang Heng's role is necessary may be a criterion for the Lord God to judge."

"Of course there is another possibility, that is, a side quest has a hidden limit on the number of people."

“For example, the main god stipulates that five people are required to kill Daitengu.

Five people or less will get bonus points, but if all fifteen of us attack this person."

"Then the rewards should be given to the five most important people, or the five people with the strongest and most deadly attacks, in my opinion."

Looking at the few people who were thinking, Chu Xuan continued slowly:
"That was the three hidden rules of the side story mission."

"First, the greater the scope of the change to the storyline, the greater the reward you will receive."

"Second point, the greater the danger, the greater the reward."

"Third, the more people you need to complete a mission, the more reward points and side plots you will get."

"In fact, based on these three rules, we can draw a necessary conclusion, which is the importance of S-level side plots."

"There are currently two S-level side storylines that the Zhongzhou team has come into contact with. One is the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons that we are currently completing. This mission meets the second requirement."

"The other one is the S-rank side story that the Dongying team has not yet completed in Pacific Rim. It just fits the first situation, and of course, it also fits the second situation because of the team battle."

After saying that, Chu Xuan had just finished eating the first apple and then took out the second one.

At this moment, Zheng Zha felt as if his brain was overloaded with information and was forced to shut down and restart.

He wasn't even given the chance to unlock the third-level gene lock.

Zheng Zha swallowed the tea in his mouth.

With the confusion after the restart, he murmured:

"so what?"

Chu Xuan looked up:

"Still don't understand?"

"The side plots are a special existence that reflects the value of the main god space, and the most important of them are the S-level side plots."

"The final point of all exchanges... the final..."

When he said this, Chu Xuan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then stopped abruptly.

Zheng Zha looked at Chu Xuan, who had a very rich expression on his face, and said in surprise:

"Chu Xuan, have you...recovered your feelings?"

Chu Xuan sat cross-legged opposite and collected the second apple core.

He stopped talking, opened the lid of the teapot, skimmed off the floating tea dregs, then refilled the pot with water and poured himself a cup.

He said calmly:

"There is no recovery, just the right time, coordinated words, and pulling the specific facial muscles." "It's actually very simple."

Zheng Zha and Li Xiao looked at each other and nodded.

"So? What did you mean by what you just said?"

Chu Xuan thought about it and shook his head: "...I don't know either."

Looking at Chu Xuan's inconsistent statements, the people who were already said to be confused became even more confused.

Chen Zilong said: "What's next?"

"What do we need to do?"

"Just waiting?"

Chu Xuan then returned to normal and said:

"Of course not. You can do what Zhan Lan said before."

"Although the possibility is small, there is still a chance to get bonus points and side plots."

Li Xiao seemed to be thinking: "You mean, agree to those small requests from the sorcerer at the beginning? Small wishes?"

Chu Xuan nodded.

"That's not right. Are there three people missing now? Why do I feel like there aren't enough people?"

Chen Zilong, who was standing next to him, looked at the room and said after realizing it belatedly.

Xiao Honglu was silent for a while and then said helplessly:

"Zhan Lan and the other two went shopping."

Zheng Zha and Li Xiao were speechless when they heard this, but after looking at Chen Zilong who was lying down with his legs crossed, they didn't say much.

That's it.

A lady's warning voice rang out in the hearts of several people in the room.

"Some people better stop saying bad things about us, we can keep listening."

"Besides, we are also looking for clues, which is better than some people sitting with their legs crossed and drinking tea."

When the voice in your heart disappears.

Chen Zilong sighed:
"Another day of envy. Why don't I have the talent of spiritual power?"

The three brothers looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"But is it really okay for the three of them to act alone?"

"After all, there are twelve old guys still out there?"

"What if the authorities are desperate and want to destroy everything together?"

Xiao Honglu next to him smiled and said to Chen Zilong:
"Don't worry. I've already told Zhan Lan not to step out of the range of the mental scan. Besides, with Zhu Wen and Zhao Yingkong here, these three are not the little girls they appear to be."

Several people nodded without comment.

In the following days.

The Zhongzhou team members did not really take a break. After all, each day's time was calculated according to reward points, and Chu Xuan could not let everyone be idle.

The entire Japanese sorcerer community was gradually mobilized during these few days.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

That is, Chu Xuan and Moss have helped some people complete the exchange, confirming the credibility of the exchange list.

This also made the entire world of sorcerers gradually go crazy.

However, after seeing the nuclear bomb at the gate of Tokyo Jutsu Academy, the crazy person will regain the blessing of the two super states of calmness and rationality.

The members of the Zhongzhou team were also disbanded by Chu Xuan and joined the team of the School of Curse.

In Chen Zilong's words, this is a plan to cast a wide net.

Four days later.

Li Xiao, who had just walked out of Shibuya Station, looked up at Fushiguro Megumi and Kotetsu in front of him, and continued to write and draw on the notebook in his hand.

After passing the commercial street.

"Brother, give me some oden that's just out of the pot."

"If you think it's salty, I also bought some juice."

Li Xiao nodded and took the paper cup handed over by Hu Che and picked up a string of tofu.

Megumi Fushiguro looked at Kotetsu who looked very attentive and snorted with disdain.

It was at this time that Li Xiao lowered his head and asked him:

"By the way, Zhan Lan asked me to ask, how is your sister these past two days? Has she recovered?"

The moment Fushiguro Megumi, who was exuding a cold and indifferent aura in the previous second, turned her head, it was like a hundred flowers blooming.

Kotetsu even felt like there was a circle of special-effect flowers around him.

"I have recovered. I am in very good spirits now. Thank you very much, seniors."

While speaking, Fushiguro Megumi very naturally took the extra garbage from Li Xiao's hands.

Then he handed over the juice in Kotetsu's hand.

Li Xiao was very satisfied with the two younger brothers around him who had good eyesight.

Thinking of the comfortable life I had lived for the past two days, I couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

"What about you, Kotetsu? Are you really not going to revive your grandfather? I've already promised you it'll be free."

Kotetsu laughed and waved his hand:

"It's really not necessary, Brother Li. My grandfather is over 80 years old and has passed away naturally. Please don't disturb him."

"Besides, I'm afraid that if he comes back to life, he'll make me go to college, hahaha!"

Looking at Kotetsu's undisguised happiness, Li Xiao lowered his head and tapped the notebook with his pen.

"Ok."

A few minutes later.

"Senior, the navigation is only 300 meters away. Do we need to raise the barrier?"

Li Xiao shook his head:

"No, let's go in and take a look first."

"According to Chu Xuan's calculations, the possibility of this abandoned school is no more than ten percent."

Having said this, Li Xiao still put away the paper and pen in his hand, took out the cloud shuttle, and hovered it beside him.

Seeing this scene, Megumi Fushiguro and Kotetsu both had envious eyes.

He sighed and touched the short stick-like thing hanging on his lower back.

After the three of them walked through the abandoned administrative building, Fushiguro Megumi and Kotetsu felt a clear fluctuation of the cursed spirit.

"Cursed spirit? An unexpected discovery?"

"But it makes sense. After all, wasting time at university does tend to make people feel fearful and terrified."

Li Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Hui, go and take a look."

"If there's any problem, have Moss notify me."

After Fushiguro Megumi nodded, he began to recite something in a low voice, with his hands clasped together and pointing to the ground.

As the cursed power in his body rose, more and more black shadows appeared under his feet, and finally a huge monster rolled out from them.

The black shadow faded away, revealing a giant wolf covered in silver-white fur.

After coming out, the silver-white giant wolf took Fushiguro Megumi and ran towards the library.

Looking at this scene, Li Xiao was amazed.

Because he only found out after he became a group with these two.

There is actually a summoner-like existence among the sorcerers. (End of this chapter)
