Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 336 The Way of Gain and Loss
As for summoning materials like granite, they are actually the cheapest... The main god has an abundance of these materials, and they are all very inexpensive.

Although summoning a seven-meter-tall granite giant doesn't even require a cubic meter of granite, Zhu Wen was still stunned after exchanging all the materials with reward points.

Indeed, ordinary rock and metal materials can be exchanged for one cubic meter using reward points... but Zhu Wen can't take these things back after exchanging them.

Mu Xiang was also stunned. He didn't expect Zhu Wen to exchange so much at once... Even if it didn't cost money, it would still take up space.

What? You mean using a spatial storage device? Here's a joke: even a C-grade spatial bag only has thirty cubic meters of storage space. With some cheap metals, it only takes three points to fill it up!

Just as this thought crossed Mu Xiang's mind, he suddenly had a strange feeling, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Mu Xiang couldn't help but smile: "Go open the door, I'll help you move in."

In just one trip, Mu Xiang moved all the various rocks and metal materials piled up below the main god to Zhu Wen's basement. With this interlude, the somewhat delicate atmosphere caused by the undead summoning issue disappeared.

"I'll practice when I get back," Zhu Wen said softly.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "By the way, you can start with sandstone directly... Although the rock properties of necromancy summoning are not entirely linked to the degree of solidity, there is a certain relationship. Solid granite has a Protodyakonov coefficient between 15 and 20, while solid sandstone is a level lower, which is perfect for your practice."

"So you used the Protodyakonov coefficient to select materials," Liu Xi said calmly, a slight smile on her face.

Mu Xiang glanced back at her: "This standard is the result of practice, so it is still very valuable for reference."

"Then what about the undead sealing..." Zhu Wen began, "Exchange it for me."

Mu Xiang nodded approvingly, then exchanged a glance with Zhang Jie.

Zhang Jie happily puffed on his cigarette, completely unconcerned about the two B-level side quests and the nearly ten thousand reward points, before exchanging them for Zhu Wen.

When Zhu Wen landed, her explanation was only a few sentences long: "It can be used on a corpse that has been dead for less than ten minutes and is basically intact, temporarily sealing the deceased's spirit inside the corpse. At this time, the deceased will exist as an undead creature, possessing the consciousness of their previous life, and their abilities will be retained based on their state before death. It requires a huge amount of undead aura, and this is the standard for the duration."

"This skill requires an intermediate necromancer or higher to exchange for, so obviously there's a threshold to what's called a huge amount... So, with your current level, how long can you last?" Mu Xiang asked.

Zhu Wen hesitated for a moment: "About half an hour."

Zheng Zha sighed: "So, the deceased has to die exactly half an hour before the return... That's too much of a restriction."

Mu Xiang didn't complain, he just nodded to show that he understood.

“If I practice for a while… I should be able to last longer,” Zhu Wen said.

Liu Xi glanced at Mu Xiang silently. Her gaze made Mu Xiang turn around slightly, but she didn't say anything. After everyone quieted down, Mu Xiang turned to Xu Lin and said, "It's your turn."

Xu Lin nodded. This seemingly unremarkable man walked down to the main god and, as previously arranged, used both B-level side quests.

This time, however, he did not float into the air. The beam of light shone on him for a moment before falling directly to the ground, where a small pistol appeared.

As soon as the pistol fully appeared, Xu Lin had a thought, and the beam of light disappeared, while the pistol transformed into a stream of light and entered his brow.

After Xu Lin fiddled with it for a moment, the pistol reappeared. This time, the pistol appeared directly in Xu Lin's hand.

"Double B-level enhancement, Celestial Spear... The way of Heaven is to take from the surplus to give to the deficiency; the way of man is to take from the deficiency to give to the surplus." Mu Xiang explained, "The so-called Celestial Spear is to use a spear to practice the way of Heaven and man. It does not have a direct attack effect... Just pull the trigger."

Xu Lin pulled the trigger as instructed, pointing his gun at the ground, but in reality, apart from the soft click of the trigger, there was no sound.

"It's just a double-B level enhancement, so of course it can't touch the so-called Dao level... As I understand it, its principle is actually based on its own conversion mechanism to achieve the purpose of assistance and attack." Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. "But unfortunately, whether it can succeed depends on the user's load capacity."

Zheng Zha pondered for a moment, then asked, "So how exactly do I use it? Don't tell me this gun can absorb your energy and then inject it into me."

Mu Xiang spread his hands: "Of course not, because this is just one way of using it... It's a kind of support, but the support effect is actually not ideal. Because you can't be compatible with my energy, when this spear moves the way of heaven, damaging me to replenish you, a lot of power will be wasted."

As he spoke, he pointed to Xu Lin: "But as the owner of the Celestial Spear, he is different... The Celestial Spear can absorb my power, which can temporarily enhance him. Of course, because he is fragile, he can only absorb a little bit. He is almost the only beneficiary of the auxiliary ability."

Xu Lin smiled at everyone, his expression somewhat simple and honest. After Mu Xiang's comment, he suddenly became the center of attention and immediately felt a little uncomfortable.

Liu Xi said calmly, "Only he can enjoy the 'replenishment' to the greatest extent... but the 'loss' is the same for everyone, right?"

Mu Xiang smiled and said, "That's right, its effect is actually greater in the battle... If Xu Lin uses it on the enemy, it can definitely reduce the opponent's strength. Although there are some limitations in its use, it can indeed interfere. When the gun selects a target, it will automatically judge the differences between the targets and use this as a standard to make gains and losses."

"So you're after its interference capabilities... but that doesn't make sense," Zheng Zha muttered.

Mu Xiang shrugged: "Not so. These are all restrictions on how people use it... But there is one situation where there is much more freedom, which is also where the gun's lethality lies. On the battlefield of the extraordinary, there is energy dissipating almost everywhere, right? This energy does not disappear into thin air. It either annihilates each other or turns into free energy that cannot be absorbed back by the original owner... But this gun can."

Zheng Zha was shocked upon hearing this: "Holy crap, really?...Wouldn't that be like getting something for free?"

“That’s right, and the load will be much smaller…Isn’t absorbing free energy and then releasing it also a matter of gain or loss in the overall environment?” Mu Xiang said calmly.

According to Dawn, Ares, who trained from the beginner level, could summon granite giants at the intermediate necromancer level. The necromancer aura equation is roughly as follows: for an intermediate necromancer with training, one granite giant = one iron giant = three sub-giant skeletons = three skeleton mages = twelve ordinary skeleton soldiers = twelve untrained beginner necromancers. Zhu Wen, in this work, has an affinity for death aura and is far more talented than Ares, so her training will be more effective. Before the next horror movie, she should at least reach Ares' intermediate level. Furthermore, the sub-giants are stronger than the second-tier Alien Queen, roughly equivalent to a second-tier combat type, and the equivalent skeleton mages are presumably second-tier magic types. As for the granite giant with three times the necromancer aura, its strength should be more than three times greater, which makes the necromancer somewhat of a wheelchair-wielder.
