Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Zheng Zha patted his chest vigorously.

"It's nothing. Since it's a potion, it's meant to be drunk. It's better to have it work than to die and the potion is still useless."

"Haha, hahaha..."

As he laughed, Zheng Zha closed his eyes and began to connect with the main god to inquire about the price of the Fuling potion.

When Zheng Zha looked at the result, he almost fainted.

However, after thinking about it, Chu Xuan realized he had no chance of being resurrected, so he swallowed his bitterness.

Fortunately, a clever person changed the subject at that moment.

"Ahem, aren't you guys curious about Cheng Xiao's background?"

Zhu Wen, who raised this topic, was very curious from the very beginning.

I'm curious about what time travel would be like in the world of horror movies.

I'm also curious about which year Cheng Xiao went and what he went through.

In fact, it wasn't just Zhu Wen who brought it up; everyone on the Zhongzhou team, including Li Xiao, was thinking about this issue.

But they didn't even have time to ask.

Chu Xuan then dropped a bombshell.

Seeing someone change the subject, Zheng Zha also looked over.

Under the supreme god.

He noticed that all eyes were on him.

Cheng Xiao, who was groping himself all over, finally looked up.

He revealed a perfectly timed look of confusion.

"Everyone, can I say I've forgotten everything?"

"No, it should be that I was subjected to some kind of forgetting spell."

"By the way, I just checked, and my side quests and reward points have changed, and..."

Cheng Xiao didn't continue speaking, but instead took out rows of neatly arranged magic potions of different colors from his spatial bag.

Until these magical potions filled the entire long dining table.

Then came three golden eggs, a tuft of red feathers, and a few strands of seaweed in a glass bottle.

What's even scarier is that there's an eyeball that's moving around quite nimbly on the very edge.

Looking at the identical "evidence".

"Three years later!"

Xiao Honglu loosened the braided hair in his hands and said confidently:
"You've gone to three years in our timeline, which is in the horror movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."

"These are too obvious: the mermaid's golden egg, the gill pouch grass, and the eyeball of this advanced alchemical creation. It should belong to Mad-Eye Moody."

"As for these medicines."

Zhan Lan, standing nearby, looked at the label on the medicine shelf and added:

"This is a potion made by Snape. It even has his signature on it. But this quantity... did you empty the entire pharmacy room of this professor of pharmacy?"

Faced with the two who spoke, Cheng Xiao said with a wry smile:
"I know that's true, but there's also this problem!"

After saying that, Cheng Xiao took out a yellow scroll.

As the seal within was broken, a colossal object appeared without warning beneath the sphere of light of the main god.

This thing instantly silenced the scene.

Even though some beings are dead, you can still see their power when they were alive, such as this giant black snake that is now appearing on the stone slab.

"hiss!"

Saito gasped.

"Is this the snake from the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin?"

Zhan Lan reached out, and a bundle wrapped in sesame paper flew out from among the snake corpses.

The emotional fluctuations passed quickly.

"There are snake gallbladders and two snake eyes inside."

"It looks like it was dug out by a lightsaber and a concussion dagger."

“I paid special attention to it when I was at Hogwarts, but I never found any trace of this snake. I never expected to see it now.”

As soon as Zhan Lan finished speaking, Chen Zilong next to her burst out laughing.

Everyone turned to look at this strange person.

"Cough cough, don't look at me, I just want to laugh when I think about how this thing was stabbed to death by a thirteen-year-old boy."

As he spoke, Chen Zilong squatted down and began to grope around.

"This guy's muscle strength, scale hardness, and that innate ability that can petrify people."

Tsk tsk tsk, if I remember correctly.

This guy was the pet left behind by the first Slytherin headmaster. Even if he hadn't lived for a thousand years by the time the story progressed, he'd have been alive for seven or eight hundred years.

"And this wound."

"It lacks both angle and strength."

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's soft and fluffy."

Looking at the data generated by the Moss scan, Li Xiao shook his head and said:

"This isn't just releasing water, it's releasing an entire Pacific Ocean!"

Looking at the giant snake's corpse on the stone slab, the members of the Central Continent Team sighed again and marveled at the power and strength of the protagonist's halo.

The snake gall, snake eyes, and the corpse were then handed over to Xiao Honglu.

Cheng Xiao's other gains, including magic potions, were temporarily borrowed by Chu Xuan under the guise of research.

Seeing Cheng Xiao's confused look, Zheng Zha summoned the main god's healing again, still feeling uneasy.

They gave up when they saw that the main god did not react.

Although Cheng Xiao has lost some memories, everyone agrees that he most likely experienced the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire storyline.

The group also discovered numerous tents enchanted with extension magic, a newspaper, and a flying broom that only appears later in the story on this person.

Also the fastest flying broomstick, the Firebolt!

"By the way, didn't we exchange some runes with other teams this time?"

"Could we make something like this?"

"No, it's a prop."

Chen Zilong poked his head out from inside the extended tent and asked.

These words made Zheng Zha's eyes light up.

The other members of the Zhongzhou team also looked over from their respective chosen tents.

Putting everything else aside, the inscriptions that the teams from the North Ice Continent, South Flame Continent, and East Japan exchanged are all quite remarkable, and Zheng Zha has already come up with some of them.

But before Zheng Zha could even begin to enjoy it...

After putting away the golden egg, Chu Xuan said calmly:

"We currently have enough runes to create some single-function magical legendary weapons."

"But before that, I need to create an energy converter."

Zheng Zha looked up blankly: "Energy? Transformation?"

Saito scratched his head: "Uh, what's this?"

Chu Xuan looked up at everyone and pushed up his black-rimmed glasses:
"Have you ever thought about how Zhan Lan's spiritual power, your vampire energy, and Li Xiao and Chen Zilong's true essence were restored after they were depleted?"

"In other words, where does this energy come from?"

Before this, the members of the Zhongzhou team had considered where their energy came from, but they had all subconsciously overlooked this question.

It was only now that Chu Xuan brought it up.

Only then did everyone begin to ponder.

Whether in the real world, the main god space, or the story world.

They seem to be able to replenish their depleted internal energy, true essence, and even mental energy, magic power, spiritual energy, and so on, without limit.

Chu Xuan was not surprised by their blank expressions and continued:

"And what about the Harry Potter world we just experienced? Those systematic wizards, for example, do you know how Harry's magic is cast?"

Seeing the silence of the crowd, Chu Xuan continued.

"No matter what world you're in, there are countless planktonic organisms and infinite free energy in the universe."

Neither of these can be seen or even detected by the naked eye.

"But in the scientific field, these existences have been proven since the last century."

"They've just been renamed as the kinetic energy, potential energy, micro-electric energy, light energy, radiation energy, and wave energy of various particles."

Chu Xuan stretched out one hand: "Just like in the palm of your hand."

"It seems like nothing exists, nothing is real, but that's just a visual and tactile non-existence."

"In fact, there are tens of thousands of species in the air alone."

Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, nitric oxide, water vapor, particulate matter, and microorganisms, etc.

"The names are different, but each of them contains countless things, such as water vapor or microorganisms."

"The Buddhist classic Avatamsaka Sutra states that in the Buddha-land, five-colored stems grow, one flower represents one world, and one leaf represents one Tathagata. This speaks of a holographic theory of the universe."

"It is within these that the energy you need is hidden."

"These energies are even capable of shaking the entire universe, and their quantity is far beyond anyone's imagination."

Upon hearing this highly academic explanation, Zheng Zha half-covered his face with one hand:
"So, Chu Xuan, you want to create a device that can automatically accumulate energy when it's placed in the air?"

"And this item can also be converted into various types of energy that we need?"

"Okay, it seems to be a bit more advanced than an energy storage ring."

"But isn't this just a self-recharging battery?"

Chu Xuan rarely showed a look of disdain:

"I just said to create an energy converter, not an energy extractor."

"This is a foundation; once it is successful or even perfected, it represents unlimited energy."

At this moment, Zhan Lan suddenly thought of something:
"I understand. If we can manufacture it, the simplest application would be that we can break free from the limitations of using various props."

"For example, the Necronomicon, which can only be used with vampire energy and mental power, and the Scorpion King Bracelet."

"Once you have an energy converter, you can use internal energy, true essence, and even spiritual energy."

"In this way, it can be considered as indirectly increasing our strength."

"Chu Xuan, is that what you mean?"

Everyone looked at this man who had no income, no job, and no connections.

Chu Xuan nodded: "This is just one way of using it."

"Have you ever thought about the advancement of your internal energy, whether it's Li Xiao or Chen Zilong?"

"Furthermore, Zheng Zha's advancement in his vampire bloodline is inextricably linked to energy with each change."

Zheng Zha: "Relationship? There must be a relationship. Putting everything else aside, the most obvious difference is the blood clan energy. It's more viscous and contains more and more energy."

It was at this moment that Chu Xuan's eyes suddenly turned fervent:
"Yeah, that's it."

"If an energy converter can convert two types of energy with different properties into each other, then it can also convert the same type of energy into an advanced state of energy."

"In other words, when internal energy is input, it can be transformed into true essence, spiritual energy, immortal energy, or something even higher."

"The energy of a D-level vampire can be converted into the energy of an A-level vampire."

"This is only the first step. If this is how energy of the same attribute advances, then what about energy of different attributes?"

"Internal energy is directly converted into high-level vampire energy."

"They even mix magic power with internal energy to transform it into spiritual power."

"And Zheng Zha, your explosion mode is also a kind of application of composite energy."

“A-level True Essence and A-level Bloodline are the best proof.”

Seeing the increasingly frightening expression on Chu Xuan's face.

The people behind Zheng Zha skillfully slung the weight behind them.

Chu Xuan continued, "Didn't you notice that this transformation mechanism inherently includes a compression mechanism?"

"That is, compressing the weak energy and transforming it into a higher level of energy."

"In this way, we only need the most basic electrical energy, and then compress it infinitely to transform it into an attack method that surpasses conventional nuclear weapons."

"If it really succeeds, I'm sure such an attack has already touched the realm of a saint, that is, the fifth stage of the gene lock."

"After all, don't forget that the name of the fifth stage of the gene lock is the control of energy."

"I think this energy conversion is one method."

"For example, the fourth-order Microscopic Insight..."

"Stop, stop!"

Seeing that he was getting into the zone again, Zheng Zha had no choice but to step forward once more under the watchful eyes of Saito and the others.

Zheng Zha said:

"You yourself said that energy control is something only saints can control. Can you really create such a tool?"

"If what you're saying is true, the exchange in the God's Space is at least an S-rank side quest, right?"

"Firstly, the only runes I remember we have are those that convert energy into electricity and those that counteract gravity."

"Adding the electrical energy exchanged with the Arctic team, which is converted into mental energy, that makes three types."

"To achieve the result you described, you'd need quite a few runes, right?"

"Secondly, if I remember correctly, the props we made were similar to the C-level side quest props back then, right?"

"No, Li Xiao's sword should be A-grade in terms of sharpness, but it's just a blank A."

"This isn't enough?"

Chu Xuan regained his composure and looked at Zheng Zha.

"No, that's enough. These raw materials are sufficient. As for runes and laws, don't forget that we still have the Jade Disc of Creation."

"During this time in the story world, I have also made breakthroughs in my research on the Demon Refining Pot."

"The runes in the pot have benefited me greatly."

"That's why I made the suggestion just now; otherwise, I wouldn't have made it if I wasn't confident of success."

Zheng Zha, Li Xiao, and the others around them exchanged glances.

Li Xiao said from the side, "Even if it succeeds, this thing will probably have some problems, or usage limitations, right?"

"Otherwise, I don't believe we can skip the Main God Space and create this kind of item right now."

Li Xiao's words made the others, who hadn't quite grasped the situation, suddenly understand.

So far, Chu Xuan has only mentioned the good points.

Given his personality, the fact that he didn't say anything means there must be a huge pitfall involved.

Chu Xuan nodded:

"The manipulation of energy is extremely dangerous. Even if successful, it requires at least a fourth-order gene lock." (End of Chapter)
