Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 421 The Long Road
After a hearty meal and lively conversation, everyone made their own arrangements. Some gathered together for entertainment, while others went back to their rooms to rest or exercise.

After this battle, not to mention the 20,000 reward points for team battle points, even Long Taobing, who didn't kill any enemy team members, received two C-level side quests and 4,000 reward points. The other team members also received an extra B-level side quest and 7,000 reward points. As for Mu Xiang, since he killed three, his income was even more staggering.

It must be said that there is one advantage to fighting against a strong team like the Demon Team: the rewards are generous... and it saves the cost of injecting catalysts into enemies that haven't been unlocked.

Even so, no one rushed to enhance any abilities. Given the current level of the Central Continent Team, the improvements from B-level side quests were already quite limited. Furthermore, Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha needed to accumulate more side quests to strengthen their S-level bloodlines, so they couldn't offer any immediate assistance. This dampened the Central Continent Team's enthusiasm, making it better to plan for the long term.

"Didn't you leave an A-level side quest behind?" Zhang Jie asked, puffing on his cigarette as he looked at Mu Xiang, who was playing chess with Zheng Zha. "Why don't we just enhance it for you now?"

Mu Xiang placed his piece and said without looking up, "No need. One rest period can only help the others strengthen once... If I use up this opportunity on myself, I might not be able to handle other situations. Right now, I'm almost only missing two B-level side quests to go back to 'The Trembling Black Hole'."

"Moreover, it is precisely because of this consideration that I suggest everyone go back to watching horror movies and make some money back."

Zhang Jie, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, mumbled a reply and turned his gaze to the chessboard.

Zheng Zha hesitated for a long time before picking up the thread: "Speaking of which, the gains from this team battle... seem to be less than those from a typical horror movie."

"Huh?" Zhang Jie paused for a moment, then chuckled. "It's because you guys always like to pull off these kinds of gimmicks. Compared to single-team horror movies, team-based horror movies are certainly more lucrative, but their potential is lower. Besides, even if we take down one enemy, only one of us can get the side quest..."

"The battlefield in Resident Evil 2 is still too small..." Mu Xiang suddenly said, "Moreover, this world is too weak for both of our teams, so we really can't dig out much. But if it were a large world with a large battlefield, even team battles could allow us to explore more side stories."

"For example?" Zheng Zha asked casually.

“The Lord of the Rings!” Mu Xiang raised his head and smiled. “Although it’s not a horror movie, it’s still a movie world chosen by the Supreme God, isn’t it? I dare say we will definitely encounter such a great world. Whether it’s other teams or local powerhouses, they all need to take it seriously.”

Zhang Jie chuckled: "That's true. You and that kid Qi Tengyi seem to have been eyeing this movie for a long time, huh?"

“Yes… there, perhaps we can help Qi Tengyi more specifically reconstruct the elven language and magic systems.” Mu Xiang smiled.

"Speaking of which, Qi Tengyi's vampire magic... seems quite useful, doesn't it?" Zheng Zha muttered. "That kid always surprises us. I wonder when there will be a world related to vampires?"

Mu Xiang nodded, then said impatiently, "Aren't you going to play? If you don't play now, you're admitting defeat."

Zheng Zha rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly. In his eyes, this chessboard was not a flat, open space where you could place pieces anywhere. The pieces he and Mu Xiang placed were all connected and restrained by forces of different sizes and directions. Including the places where pieces had already been placed, this seemingly ordinary chessboard was like a mountain range.

"Don't you know the consequences of your moves?" Zheng Zha sighed, tossing the white piece aside. "It's my turn to go first. If I let you go first... I'll always be forced into a corner." Zhang Jie chuckled at the two's ridiculous game and turned to look at the other players' card games.

Mu Xiang shrugged: "That makes sense, but even if you get the first move, you can't force me into a corner first."

Zheng Zha slapped his hand on the chessboard, and the black and white pieces flew up. After playing chess with Mu Xiang for so long, he was no longer as clueless as he was at the beginning about Mu Xiang's moves. Although he was still a little confused during the game, he could quickly grasp the subtleties when reviewing the game.

The two continued playing chess. Mu Xiang extended a finger, feeling Zheng Zha's exertion, and then said, "Don't let Zhang Jie's carefree attitude fool you, he's also training his telekinesis."

"His telekinesis... its output is already difficult to improve, right?" Zheng Zha frowned. "And you two also said that his gene lock level doesn't have much impact on this, and it could even lead to danger... so he can only train to the microscopic level?"

“Yes, don’t think that just because the three of us have reached the level of microscopic perception… This path is very long and far. The fourth level is just the beginning for us.” Mu Xiang smiled. “At our level, any strange or unusual technique is basically inseparable from microscopic perception.”

Zheng Zha nodded, "Indeed..."

“Zhang Jie’s research direction is still the combination of mental power and telekinesis… But in fact, these two things are essentially the same thing.” Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. “Mental power, telekinesis, mind… these are all closely related. According to Zhang Jie and my calculations, his telekinesis can completely construct a stronger outer shell for his soul body, which is no weaker than the enhancement of the physical body by the Death God bloodline!”

"We call this form a telekinetic ghost."

Zheng Zha pondered for a moment, then placed a piece on the board: "So, mental power controllers really have a bright future."

Mu Xiang couldn't help but laugh. It was indeed true. Back in the Primordial Era, mental controllers were extremely rare talents, but due to the flaws of their open minds, they were extremely vulnerable to being corrupted by lower dimensions. Now, with higher and lower dimensions suppressed and sealed off, mental controllers no longer faced this threat.

It can be said that the God Space of this era is the most suitable place for mental power controllers to grow.

“That’s right, mental power is a great path... Fourth-level mental power can easily guide the power of the mind and develop telekinesis. At the fifth level, it can even easily create material distortion and mental tearing.” Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. “And our mental power controllers have very good conditions.”

"On another note, what power isn't related to the Great Dao..." Mu Xiang smiled. "The problem is, can the growth rate of this power allow us to survive in the Main God Space? Only by surviving can we guarantee becoming stronger."

Zheng Zha nodded, glanced at the group of people playing cards not far away, and then clenched his fist: "Let's go ahead of them... let's create space for them to become stronger!"

"Yes." Mu Xiang nodded, placing his fist together with Zheng Zha's. "We... both have unlimited potential."
