Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 103 Battle
Zhang Jie and several other veterans, along with Zhao Yingkong, quickly descended from the healing light pillar, while the two newcomers with severed limbs, Qi Tengyi and Long Taobing, stared blankly at their gradually growing legs and hands.

Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha took a little longer to recover. Although they had a day of rest, it seemed that the side effects of activating the second-order gene lock also required further treatment.

The one who took the longest to recover was Zhan Lan. She fell into a deep sleep again in the pillar of light, and only after a long time did she suddenly wake up and fall from the sky.

It seems that Zhan Lan has put in a lot of effort as a mental controller who monitors the whole situation and integrates offense and defense... which has not disappointed Mu Xiang and Chu Xuan.

As for the plot-driven death of breaking the Divine Stone... I hope that won't happen to Zhan Lan, haha...

Zhang Jie hurriedly grabbed his wife and ran away.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses and said to everyone, "Thank you all for your hard work... Go back to sleep now, we'll have breakfast and a meeting at Zhang Jie's house tomorrow morning."

The experienced members all understood, and they bid farewell and prepared to return home.

Lori had noticed that Zhan Lan had taken the longest to recover, so as soon as Zhan Lan came down, she grabbed her arm and kept asking her questions. Watching the two girls head towards Zheng Zha's room, Zheng Zha couldn't help but smile wryly.

“They can’t take care of you for the time being…” Mu Xiang looked at Zheng Zha with schadenfreude. “You have to tell Lori later how her sister Zhan Lan saved the hero, and you should thank her in person.”

Zheng Zha adopted a posture of surrender and ran away, leaving behind the deafening laughter of the Overlord.

After seeing off the veterans, Mu Xiang looked at Qi Tengyi and Long Taobing, who were still in a daze: "You two are newcomers, so you probably don't know what kind of rewards you received are... Uh, let me put it this way, there won't be any newcomers in the God's Space who are more comfortable than you. You can communicate with the God to check the exchanges, so you can see what interests you, but I suggest you exchange them together tomorrow."

"Is 20,000 reward points a lot?" Long Taobing asked hesitantly.

Mu Xiang couldn't help but laugh: "Zheng Zha and I played Resident Evil for the first time. We dodged that laser tunnel and only got a B-level side quest and 5,000 reward points... They changed a lot of the plot later, and in the end we only got 10,000 points each."

Qi Tengyi and Long Taobing exchanged a glance and scratched their heads... They felt that they were getting something for nothing.

Mu Xiang understood what they meant and waved his hand, saying, "That's not what I think... With these reward points, you can become much stronger and become part of the team. Besides, we saw your desperate struggle against that counselor. You deserve this reward."

“You can create your own life form with the Supreme God, and up to twice the attributes of an ordinary person… You’ll see for yourselves. Whether you create a partner or a bodyguard is your own decision,” Mu Xiang said. “Then you can choose a room and change its furnishings by simply holding the doorknob.”

In fact, upon hearing the first half of the passage, the two had already closed their eyes and connected with the main god; the second half merely elicited perfunctory nods from them. Then, they both simultaneously revealed expressions of excitement…

Zhao Yingkong had been standing silently to the side, and at this moment, Mu Xiang also looked at the girl.

It must be said that Zhao Yingkong possesses a striking androgynous beauty. If she were Mu Xiang's classmate, she would at least be the class beauty—or perhaps the class heartthrob?
"As for you... I have the same suggestion. You can first see what interests you and see if you can bring out your assassination skills." Mu Xiang shrugged. "You don't want to turn yourself into a berserker charging with a greatsword, do you?"

Zhao Yingkong looked at Mu Xiang with some confusion: "Strictly speaking, I am an assassin, not a killer... If I try to fight with brute force, I will deviate from the way of an assassin."

Remember what you're saying now...

“I know.” Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. “You come from an Asian family of assassins, right?”

Zhao Yingkong did not deny it, but silently looked at Mu Xiang. "No need for that... You should already accept our Zhongzhou team. Regardless of our stance outside, we are at least teammates now." Mu Xiang smiled, "This is what Chu Xuan told me. He once commanded a capture operation in Hong Kong, and that time he captured several people from your assassin family."

He waved his hand dismissively, "But I don't care. I have no connection with you guys... I just know you're very useful and can become an extremely strong combat force. After all, you unlocked the first-tier gene lock while you were still out there, right? Let's get to know each other as teammates from now on, at least we can trust each other's abilities."

“You’re very interesting… I’d like to have a match with you,” Zhao Yingkong said calmly.

"Uh, I'm just a strategist, I'm not good at this kind of thing... Just kidding, but it's not fair right now." Mu Xiang revealed a confident smile, "I'll spar with you after you've finished strengthening, otherwise it's too unfair to you."

These words seemed to anger Zhao Yingkong, but Mu Xiang waved his hand and turned to leave. He was simply stating a fact, because Mu Xiang also hoped that this sparring match would be more interesting.

"I can only unlock the first-order gene lock to compete with you... If I have the chance, I'd love to learn those techniques from you," Mu Xiang said without turning his head.

These words were sincere, stopping Zhao Yingkong from making trouble. She silently watched Mu Xiang walk into the room, while she stood in the square, lost in thought.

Once in his room, Mu Xiang quickly took a shower, changed his clothes, and collapsed onto the bed.

"The high score of the Beiyan Continent team is probably mainly due to the high value of the items they can exchange for." Mu Xiang took off his glasses and muttered to himself, "That's how it is for breeders. They can't save up rewards, nor can they take a lot at once... so they can't go up or down, and in the end they can only spend money on all sorts of random items."

But the situation is different now...

“We achieved a victory against the odds in terms of data, so our evaluation will be much higher… Moreover, most of the items from the Northern Flame Continent team have been captured. Apart from the damaged items, those that are not charged or have not been bound to a master, will these be counted towards the strength of the Central Continent team?” Mu Xiang sighed. “In addition, although gene locks and self-created skills are both outside of the exchange items, as the battle record is updated, the performance after activating the gene lock will also be included in the evaluation.”

"The Central Continent team's current evaluation score... must have reached a terrifying level, right? Perhaps even higher than before, no, even including the Northern Flame Continent team..."

Mu Xiang glanced at the space bag on the bedside table: "We'll have to inject all of them with this stuff later. Damn it, it's a tough one, we'll be matched with the Demon Team in two or three games at most, so forget about suppressing their ratings."

But he didn't know what horror movie the next one would be... It wasn't that there wasn't a tradition of consecutive team battles, but the possibility was relatively small. Judging from Chu Xuan's words, it should be another high-difficulty horror movie.

If the plot remained completely unchanged, and the next match really was "The Legend of the Gods and Demons," and then they unexpectedly encountered the Indian team... Zheng Zha would probably be able to wipe them out single-handedly. However, this possibility has been eliminated by the future Chu Xuan, so it's no longer being considered. Mu Xiang thought about how Zheng Zha hadn't killed any enemy members in this match, and the only person he killed was Lu Renjia from his own team... How ironic.

"Regarding horror movies, it's necessary to hint at it indirectly. Hopefully, Zhang Jie will reveal a little bit, like before..."

"I'm not strong enough yet... I can exchange for an A-grade Kryptonian bloodline, but my gene lock isn't enough. If I want to be a captain, I'd better reach Tier 3 myself." Mu Xiang thought of what Chu Xuan said, and then complained helplessly, "In terms of strength, it would be best to reach the early Tier 4 before Resident Evil 2. Reaching the mid-Tier 4 level won't be copied, but it's basically out of the question... If I don't reach the early Tier 4 level, I can't fight that battle."

How do I get into that mind partitioning system? Mu Xiang plans to check out the main god's exchange tomorrow.

Unbeknownst to him, Mu Xiang fell into a deep sleep.

This is the first chapter today; the second chapter will be released later.
