The Only Player in Infinite Terror

Just then, the train began to slowly slow down.

Ling Qi glanced at the watch on his wrist. "Alright, let's stop chatting here. The movie is about to start, and the main god will soon remove the barrier. The female lead and the others will soon be able to hear our conversation."

"Remember, if they hear anything related to the main god, every word they say will deduct reward points."

"If all the reward points you gained are depleted and turn negative by the end of the mission, you will be wiped out by the God of War~"

"Matthew Addison," Ling Qi said with a hint of amusement as he read the name on the watch.

[It's Matthew Addison instead of James Sheldon from the previous beta test? Did the development team think changing the name back would be a better tribute to the original work?]

As Ling Qi uttered the name, the mixed-race black man who was the leader of the mercenaries emitted a faint white light.

"See that glowing black man? He's the leader of the mercenary squad. The Supreme God is now restricting us from leaving his 100-meter radius."

"If we are more than 100 meters away from him before the restrictions are lifted, there will be a loud explosion."

"If you want to live, hurry up and catch up."

After saying that, Ling Qi took the lead and walked towards the dozen or so fully armed mercenaries in front of him.

Everyone still had many questions to ask, but when they heard Ling Qi warn that being too far from the black captain would cause an explosion, they were all so frightened that they quickly followed in Ling Qi's footsteps.

[Hmm? This is the double-C-level telekinesis you get right at the start? It's amazing no matter how many times I experience it, and...]

With a thought, Ling Qi used his telekinesis to touch the silver-gray metal box hidden in the outer partition of the rear compartment.

The next moment, no one except Zhang Jie could notice that the silver-gray metal box had vanished into thin air.

At the same time, a semi-transparent panel appeared in Ling Qi's field of vision, visible only to him.

In the game "Infinite Terror: Reappearance", the player system panel has two main functions: one is to view the status bar such as attributes, skills, bloodline, gene lock, etc., and the other is the equipment/item bar.

Ling Qi looked at the miniature item icon representing the silver metal box in his inventory with a happy expression: "It seems the system panel has been fixed and restored."

"Speaking of which, telekinesis is really convenient; it allows you to pick up items remotely."

[T-virus stock solution/antibody]

【Special props】

[Item Description: At the beginning of the story, plant these to gain magical power, which can help unlock the first stage of your genetic potential.]

[PS: Progenitor Virus, T Virus, G Virus, Veronica Virus, Plaka Parasite, Ouroboros Virus, C Virus, A Virus, Bacterial Master, Little Sunflower Liver Protector Tablets ~ Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, Let You Ascend to the Virus Planet]

"Then let me ask you, won't this hairstyle make your hair look pointy?" Ling Qi couldn't help but complain in her mind.

He glanced at the equipment and item inventory and noticed a few interesting items.

【Rebirth Cross (Fake)】

【Consumables (1/1)】

[Item Description: Automatically activates when placed in the inventory; usable only by the player during the Lingqi period; will revive upon death.]

[PS: A gift for beta testers... Will they survive in this world of endless danger?]

A tiny hope

【Special props】

[Item Description: This item automatically activates when placed in your inventory. It is for player use only during the Lingqi period. Each time you complete a horror movie storyline and return to the Main God Space, all your base attributes permanently increase by 10 points. After experiencing ten horror movie storylines, this item disappears, and your base attributes permanently increase by 1024 points. (Only the first return to the main god space for each horror movie interlude counts towards the total number of experiences.)]

[PS: You seem to see a glimmer of hope... but remember, beware of growth traps.]

【Requiem (Unlimited Ammo Version)】

Magnum Revolver (Hand Cannon Type)

[Item Description: From Resident Evil: Requiem, extremely powerful. The original magazine holds five rounds; this is the unlimited ammo version.]

[P.S.: Let them rest in peace. Treat the infection, one bullet at a time.]

After reading the descriptions of the items, Ling Qi was in a very good mood: "The items that the cheaters give at the start are pretty good. Now I can have even more fun racking up points in this game."

Ling Qi has no masochistic tendencies; he always enjoys playing games as much as possible.

At the same time, the voice of the Supreme God quietly appeared in Ling Qi's ears.

"Side quest triggered - Obtain T-virus stock solution and antibodies."

"Returning with at least one T-virus stock solution and one T-virus antibody will reward you with one C-level side quest and 2,000 reward points upon completion. Failure will result in the deduction of two C-level side quests and 6,000 reward points."

The metal box was originally locked, but it was probably unlocked beforehand when the character Spence stole it, so it can now be opened without a password.

Ling Qi used his mental energy to touch the metal box in his inventory and confirmed that it contained eight blue antibodies and seven viral samples, exactly the same as those tested in the previous internal test.

"Alright, we've got the key item. Even if we get nothing else afterward, it doesn't matter." Ling Qi's lips curled up slightly. "But side quests and reward points are always welcome, so getting nothing is definitely out of the question!"

Leaving aside the shock and elation Zhang Jie felt after discovering that the metal box containing the T-virus stock solution and antibodies had disappeared in a way he couldn't comprehend at all.

The group followed the mercenary squad out of the train carriage and onto the platform where the movie begins.

This is also the entrance to the underground laboratory hive.

"UBCS..." Ling looked thoughtfully at the white letters on the mercenaries' black combat uniforms.

As a veteran player, Ling Qi has naturally played the Resident Evil series of games.

UBCS is an abbreviation for Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service.

"If I remember correctly, UBCS is an armed squad directly under the Umbrella Corporation's Red Umbrella Division. But here's the problem: that's the game's setting. The mercenary squad in the Resident Evil 1 movie and the Infinite Terror comics isn't UBCS..."

"Interesting, it seems the game version has been updated..." Ling Qi became even more delighted.

The quality of "Infinite Terror: Resurrection" is indeed very high. During gameplay, the AI-controlled game characters are almost indistinguishable from real people.

As for how realistic it is? All I can say is, it's incredibly smooth!

But after playing the same storyline for two and a half months, Ling Qi was getting a little tired of it.

The main issue is that the increased difficulty of the game is only reflected in the higher stats and stronger skills of later enemies, but it still can't keep up with the speed at which the player character becomes stronger.

This means that after clearing the initial stages and getting through the early to mid-game, the player character controlled by Ling Qi doesn't even need to do anything; they can rely on any of their developed teammates to complete a horror movie storyline all by themselves.

It was definitely enjoyable, but if it was just enjoyable, Ling Qi felt that it wasn't quite that enjoyable.

"Clearly, the game development team has also realized this problem, and it seems they plan to add more random variations." Ling Qi nodded in satisfaction.

Change is a good thing...
