Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 325 on "Power"...

No one else knew about their conversation in the morning, and at lunchtime, Zhao Yingkong was once again pulled by Zhan Lan to sit down next to her, just like usual.

Mu Xiang sat down next to Zhang Jie and waited for everyone to arrive.

"Hey Captain, please take the seat of honor." Zhang Jie said jokingly, puffing on his cigarette.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "No, this is your home, and you are a senior. You should sit in the seat of honor."

"Here we go again, this damned drinking culture," Zhan Lan couldn't help but laugh.

Although they were joking around as usual, Zhang Jie noticed something. His voice echoed in Mu Xiang's mind: "What's wrong? You seem a little different than usual. Are you worried about the next game?"

Mu Xiang reached out and took the dishes his sister-in-law brought, then winked at Zheng Zha, signaling him to go to the kitchen to help get the dishes... otherwise, Zheng Zha, who was looking down at Zhang Jie's cigarette box, would be glared at to death by Loli.

Seeing Zheng Zha suddenly realize what was happening and being dragged to the kitchen by Loli, Mu Xiang smiled and thought to himself, "I'll talk to everyone about this during dinner... Zhang Jie, do you think we don't need to worry?"

Zhang Jie chuckled to himself: "Of course I'm worried, but not as worried as during the 'Ju-on' match... In that match, we were judged to be the weaker team, and you guys still managed to dominate them. Now that we're the stronger team, it's not right for me to be more worried, is it?"

“That’s exactly what I’m worried about,” Mu Xiang said. “The Beiyan Continent team was judged to be stronger simply because they are engaged in aquaculture and their equipment is far more luxurious than our new team… Even Zheng Zha and I, who received the most reward points, are not as good as them. But at that time, Zheng Zha and I hadn’t performed enough. Otherwise, if performance points were taken into account, it would be hard to say who was stronger.”

"As for the Celestial Team and the Demon Team... the quality of these two special teams is beyond doubt, and the training they receive is naturally excellent. So compared to them, we who received generous rewards like the Plane Redemption are like spoiled dogs." Mu Xiang chuckled to himself. "I know you have great faith in our strength, and if it were a battle between high-level combatants, I would definitely not be afraid of anyone... but what about the others?"

Zhang Jie hesitated for a moment: "Hmm...you don't want our team to suffer casualties?"

"Of course I don't want that, but the fact is it's difficult, isn't it? In 'Ju-on,' we had the upper hand, using Kayako to stir up trouble and restrict those breeders in every way. Actually, we can also include the consultant of the Midnight Sun Conference. These are all our 'momentum'... Similarly, the fact that a third party poses a lower threat to us than they do is a manifestation of 'momentum.' In addition, there is the intelligence advantage of being there first," Mu Xiang said calmly.

Zhang Jie wanted to frown, but he remained calm and thought to himself, "You mean if the Celestial Team and the Demon Team enter early, they will also gain 'momentum'... I understand what you're worried about. The Demon Team also has Chu Xuan."

Mu Xiang agreed: "If we encounter the Celestial Team, then there's nothing to worry about... we can just crush them. But if it's the Demon Team, then Chu Xuan, who has the first-move advantage... should not be underestimated."

At this point in time, the Celestial Team and the Demon Team should have only faced each other once, and Adam hadn't yet joined the Celestial Team... so Mu Xiang said the Celestial Team was nothing to worry about. But only he knew that this seemingly insignificant Celestial Team was almost certainly not going to be their next opponent...

“I don’t want any of us to die… I never have, not even those I consider my partners.” Mu Xiang sighed inwardly. “But the fact is, the probability of someone from the Zhongzhou team dying is one hundred percent. Team battles are not like pure horror movies, not to mention that the other side has Chu Xuan.”

“If I were planning to sacrifice some people, I wouldn’t feel this pressure… But unfortunately, I don’t know who will die. Even in my plan, each person has their own strengths and their own safety and dangers… The specific outcome is beyond my prediction.” “In the worst-case scenario, we encounter the Demon Team that strikes first, and my plan is completely defeated by Chu Xuan… Then, apart from the three of us who have a way to escape, everyone else will die. But I know your temperaments too well, well, I’m the same way… We usually understand the principle of preserving our lives, but when it comes to crucial moments, one of us is more reckless than the other.” Mu Xiang said.

Hearing Mu Xiang's words, Zhang Jie also wanted to smile wryly... The smoke half-covered his face, making his usually carefree face look somewhat unpredictable.

"Hey, relax... What will happen to them if you're anxious too?" Zhang Jie thought to himself. "Let's not even talk about the fact that the probability of encountering the Demon Team and the Celestial Team is only 50/50. Maybe Chu Xuan can even put up a fight with you? I don't think you're any worse than him."

Mu Xiang knew Zhang Jie was trying to comfort him, but Zhang Jie didn't realize that his words were practically useless. He simply replied, "I won't tell them such a blatant statement... but it's still necessary to tell you."

"What about Zheng Zha? He might run into his own clone. What do you think will happen between them? Two nice guys meet, maybe they'll just make things easy for each other... After all, negotiations are common in team battles." Zhang Jie asked.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses and looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table: "I have plans, and I will talk to Zheng Zha about them later... In fact, Zheng Zha and I have already played a core role in the scheme."

He then said, "Now that everyone is here and the dishes are served, let's eat."

During the meal, Mu Xiang glanced at the newcomer... This middle-aged man, who at first glance seemed unremarkable, possessed a unique charisma in his actions. Clearly, he was not as ordinary as he appeared; having survived the previous horror movie, he was at least obedient.

Before the God Realm becomes powerful, listening to the advice of experienced individuals is already better than listening to the advice of most newcomers who have never even seen the God Realm Square.

"What, do you think this old guy is something special?" Zhang Jie's leisurely voice echoed in Mu Xiang's mind.

Mu Xiang replied, "You know best, go ahead and say it."

"This newcomer... is quite interesting. His proficiency with guns is clearly beyond what most people possess, but his handling of the gun isn't exactly respectable. Uh, you know what I mean?"

Mu Xiang then chuckled to himself, "Oh, a self-taught individual? Unlike someone like you who actually served in the military, right?"

"I'm practically a fucking thug myself, and this guy's got a knack for messing around. You know what that means, right? Need a good talking to?"

Mu Xiang shook his head slightly: "As long as you're obedient, there's nothing to worry about. Following orders makes you a good comrade... Let's observe you further later."
