The Only Player in Infinite Terror

"Thanks!"

Zheng Zha tried his best to memorize every word Ling Qi had taught him.

If he were copied, then every word Ling Qi said at this moment would be crucial to his copy.

Although in the future Ling Qi described, he and his clone were enemies, he couldn't hate the clone at all, because that was another version of himself.

"Come on, my other self! Let's break free from this predetermined fate and forge a path to a brand new future!"

Zheng Zha entrusted himself with this thought.

Although he intends to change the fate of the clone Zheng Zha, Ling Qi does not plan to create an overly powerful opponent for himself.

Therefore, he instructed Zheng Zha: "You should go back first. According to the usual practice of our Zhongzhou team, the first day back is a rest day, and the meeting to discuss serious matters is held on the second day."

Having experienced a tense and exciting horror movie, and then having his emotions fluctuate wildly after being spoiled by Ling Qi, Zheng Zha was indeed exhausted.

However, just as he was about to say hello and go back to his room to rest, the genetic lock state that he had activated due to emotional excitement ended.

The excruciating pain that penetrated to the bone caused Zheng Zha, who considered himself a tough guy, to let out a miserable howl and collapse to the ground like a shrimp.

"God, repair Zheng Zha. Deduct the reward points from his own account."

Ling Qi waited a while until Zheng Zha was about to die, then slowly called for the main god tablet to rescue Zheng Zha.

Of course, Zheng Zha still had to pay the bill himself.

A green beam of light descended from the sky once more, enveloping Zheng Zha, who was about to be elbowed by the aftereffects of the gene lock.

"The more familiar and proficient the body becomes with this feeling, the stronger the gene lock becomes, which also greatly helps in unlocking the next stage of the gene lock."

"Alright, go back and rest. According to the usual practice of our Zhongzhou team, the first day back is usually a rest day, and we'll hold a general meeting on the second day to discuss important matters."

After being repaired, Zheng Zha fell from the sky and nodded with lingering fear.

"Okay, then I'll go back and rest first."

After dismissing Zheng Zha, Ling Qi silently prayed to the large white orb, "God, list my gains!"

— [Calculation in progress...]

[Ling Qi, the Reincarnator, received the following rewards from the previous reincarnation storyline world:]

[Base Rewards per Game: 1000 Bonus Points]

[Slay 49 Crawlers, Reward: 4900 Points]

[Defeat Spencer to obtain 1 C-rank side quest and 2000 reward points]

[Complete the side quest and participate in rescuing the mercenary squad to receive 1 B-rank side quest and 5000 reward points; if the entire mercenary squad survives and evacuates the Hive, you will receive an additional C-rank side quest and 3000 reward points.]

[Slay an elite crawler to obtain 1 D-rank side quest and 1000 reward points]

[Annihilate all the crawlers in Restaurant B, complete the hidden side quest, obtain 2 D-level side quests, and receive 1500 reward points]

[Defeat the T103 Tyrant to obtain 1 C-rank side quest and 2000 reward points]

[Killed 88 zombies, earned 8 reward points, 800 reward points; killed 9 zombie dogs, earned 9 reward points]

[Ling Qi, a reincarnated individual, currently possesses 2 B-level side quests, 1 C-level side quest, 20417 reward points, and 800 reward scores.]

Seeing his gains from the previous match, Ling Qi felt neither joy nor sorrow.

Compared to the original work, even Zheng Zha, the protagonist, did not gain as much in the first three rounds as he did.

However, this level of reward was only barely satisfactory for him; 2B1C plus 2 bonus points was far from his limit.

If it weren't for using the "chicken claw" strategy to control the score and develop teammates, Ling Qi could have at least gotten one A-rank and 50,000 reward points.

But that would be no fun at all, as most of the teammates, except for Zheng Zha, Chu Xuan, and Zhang Jie, would be overwhelmed by the escalating difficulty.

"God, I need to save my game." Ling Qi silently prayed to the God in his heart.

[Hello player, your current timeline has been saved. After your character dies, you can choose to wait for resurrection or return to the current node.]

In order to recreate the original work as closely as possible, even the resurrection of the player-controlled character during the closed beta of the game "Infinite Terror: Rebirth" was not easy.

You either have to buy expensive resurrection items like the Resurrection Cross in advance, or wait for a bot teammate to revive your character using something like the Book of the Sun.

However, since it is a game after all, in order to take care of the player's gaming experience, the development team chose to add the save function to the main god.

Each time a player returns to the God Realm, they can save their game progress.

In this way, even if a player is too reckless in the game and accidentally crashes, they don't need to start over; they can continue the game from the previous save file.

Of course, players who prefer a hardcore, high-difficulty experience can choose to disable the save function and aim for a one-life playthrough, challenging themselves to the limit.

Casual players who just want to have fun or experience the story can reload their saves and start over again, embarking on a relaxed and enjoyable endless journey.

Ling Qi naturally belongs to the latter category. He is not a masochist, and what he dislikes most is having to suffer without suffering.

After saving the game, Ling Qi silently chanted "System" again, summoning the semi-transparent system panel.

[Player: Ling Qi]

【智力：233精神力：799神经反射速度：372肌肉强度：293细胞活力：406免疫力：379（以上均为先天属性，后天属性请前往主神处查询）】

[Life Level: Second Order]

"There's still no option to exit the game, but that's normal, considering it's a 1:50 time difference. In relatively simple scenarios like cultivation, the time difference can be accelerated to over 1:365."

"I bet the game development teams in real life haven't even discovered the bug yet, let alone fixed it," Ling Qi said dismissively.

"Hmm, not bad. With the T-virus evolution mode and the activation of the first-order gene lock, my innate attributes have increased a lot. However, all six attributes are 10 points higher than I remembered."

"Let me think... Oh, I remember now, it's that special item—Tiny Hope. That item adds 10 points to all attributes each time you return."

"I thought this attribute was just a bonus, but I didn't expect it to be a noble innate attribute."

"So it seems that after ten matches, this special item will add another 1024 points to all six innate attributes. Even if I don't exchange for anything else, I can still be guaranteed to reach the fourth rank."

The biggest difference between innate and acquired attributes lies in the fact that innate attributes are multiplied, while acquired attributes are added.

The human race has an innate attribute value cap of only 500 points.

To break through the upper limit, one must either rely on bloodline, unlock the gene lock, cultivate orthodox cultivation techniques, or rely on special fortuitous encounters such as rare and precious materials.

A 1000-point innate attribute means that one will almost certainly become a fourth-tier character.
