The Only Player in Infinite Terror

There's not much to think about. The highest priority exchange is definitely upgrading the bloodline.

[Vampire Marquis Mutant Bloodline, rated 95 points, originating from a fantasy world. Significantly increases physical and mental attributes, as well as vampire energy circulation. Enhanced immortality; as long as the blood core remains intact, injuries can be freely healed. The skill "Dark Noble" can be granted to up to three units through the Embrace Ritual, granting them the Vampire Marquis-level mutant bloodline. Up to 888 units can be converted into Blood Slaves. Embrace recipients and Blood Slaves will be unable to resist your commands. Upon meeting certain conditions, the bloodline will automatically advance to the Vampire Duke mutant bloodline. Exchange requires one A-rank side quest and 8,000 reward points. Vampire Marquis Mutant Bloodline.]

[A mutated bloodline of the Vampire Prince, rated 99 points, originating from a fantasy world. Increases all six attributes by 666 points, significantly enhancing the vampire's energy cycle and various vampire-exclusive skill effects. The skill "Blood Lord" allows the user to absorb the blood of higher-ranking creatures to strengthen their attributes. Exchange requires two A-rank side quests and yields 18,000 reward points. A mutated bloodline of a vampire marquis/duke.]

[A mutated bloodline of the Vampire Emperor, rated 100 points, originating from a fantasy world, applicable to most horror movies. The exchanger will directly receive a vampire energy cycle at least equivalent to a standard fourth-tier mid-level magic user, increasing all six attributes by 1888 points, and gaining the innate skills Blood River and Life Drain. As long as the Blood River flows, the body is indestructible, and can evolve towards perfection by absorbing the blood of other creatures. Exchange requires one A-level side quest and 10,000 reward points. A mutated bloodline of the Vampire Prince.]

Thanks to the special exchange privileges unlocked by the [Beater] reward option, Ling Qi only needs to spend less than a third of the price to acquire the Vampire Emperor Mutant Bloodline, which originally cost S-rank plus 48,000 reward points.

What does it mean to rise to the top in one step? This is what it means to rise to the top in one step!

With S-grade bloodline and enhancements, even with only a level one gene lock, the exchanger can immediately gain strength no weaker than a level four beginner.

In theory, once the potential of an S-class bloodline is fully developed and realized, its upper limit of strength will be no less than that of a primary saint, and may even reach the level of a high-level saint.

Moreover, S-grade bloodlines generally have the effect of helping to unlock gene locks, and some S-grade bloodlines can even guarantee the advancement to the fourth-order gene lock.

[Ling Qi, the Reincarnator, currently holds a total of one F-level authority, one S-level side quest, one A-level side quest, two C-level side quests, one D-level side quest, and 90464 reward points.]

However, this means that Ling Qi has completely used up all his advanced side quests.

Although there are still more than 50,000 reward points left, there are only two C-level side quests and one D-level side quest left.

After a brief moment of thought, Ling Qi left behind a C-level side quest, planning to enhance his mental power scanning ability to complete his target acquisition capabilities once his bloodline was fully strengthened and his mental power attribute reached the required level.

As long as it can be exchanged, there won't be any similar skills or techniques at the same price point that offer better value for money than mental energy scanning.

Then, Ling Qi exchanged for the cultivation manual of the Xian Gua method and a special exchange called "Binding".

[Binding, from Jujutsu Kaisen, is an absolute law imprinted on the underlying rules of this world. Upon exchange, it grants the ability to establish bindings in any world, achieving an equivalent exchange with oneself, others, or even the world itself—paying a price for a reward. Requires one C-rank side quest and rewards 4,000 points.]

[The Xian Gua Technique, originating from *Negima! Magister Negi Magi*, uses "Xian" to mean "feeling" or "sensation." This technique is the ultimate method for fusing different types of energy, both physical and mental. It can merge two energies, even those with completely opposite properties, into one. While activating the Xian Gua Technique, the user will receive comprehensive buffs. Upgrading requires one B-rank side quest, rewarding 4,000 points; exchanging the manual alone requires one D-rank side quest, rewarding 400 points.]

It was more than two hours later when everyone's enhancement was finished.

The one who took the longest was naturally Ling Qi, who continuously strengthened his bloodline to the third tier.

Next was Brother Jie, who had enhanced his S-class divine bloodline; it took him about two hours.

Zheng Zha completed the enhancement in just over twenty minutes, and he couldn't wait to revive his lover.

However, when he thought of the tragic fate of the clone Zheng Zha that Prime Minister Ling Qi had revealed, he ultimately forced himself to suppress his desire and waited until Ling Qi finished strengthening and landed.

"Ling Qi, I'm preparing to resurrect my lover, Loli. Do you think it's okay for me to resurrect her now? Is there anything else I should be careful about?" Zheng Zha immediately stepped forward.

Ling Qi made a rough estimate and said, "Zheng Zha, you now have second-tier genes plus A-level enhancement, which should be enough in theory."

"If you were cloned from the past, the strongest enemy would be the current Demon Captain Reinhardt."

"There is a 98% chance that he also has the configuration of a second-order gene lock plus an A-grade vampire marquis bloodline."

"However, he also has a bunch of underlings, and in your exchange list, there is a B-level side quest that is used to exchange for the Twelve Divine Fiends Technique of the Heavenly Capital. Since you haven't practiced it yet, you haven't gained any benefits from it."

"Just in case, here's what I'll do: I'll give you the Heavenly Ring and the Great King of Meridians, and you can share the cultivation technique with the rest of the team so they can practice together."

The reason Zheng Zha was asked to exchange for the complete set of the Twelve Divine Fiends Technique was naturally because this was an exchange that required authorization.

Currently, apart from Ling Qi and Zheng Zha, everyone else can only upgrade the Twelve Phases or exchange for secret manuals at the price of A-level side quests, which requires additional side quests and reward points.

Of course, in theory, it is possible to comprehend the other eleven aspects by focusing on just one aspect.

However, this places extremely high demands on aptitude, comprehension, linearity, and the time required.

Since he could get the whole set of cultivation techniques cheaply anyway, Ling Qi was naturally too lazy to go the long way around and challenge himself with such a difficult operation.

He was naturally confident that he could complete all twelve aspects by cultivating only one aspect, but such an operation was completely meaningless except for showing off and wasting time.

Zheng Zha waved his hand and hurriedly refused, saying, "No need, no need. It's just a cultivation technique. Since we've already changed it, of course we'll all practice together."

"However, I do need to replenish the combat power of my clone. How about I treat it as a loan from you, Ling Qi? I'll return it to you later."

Ling Qi chuckled and shook his head: "No need, I didn't expect my bloodline upgrade to be progressing so quickly."

"The Heavenly Ring and the Vascular King are indeed very powerful, but I no longer need them at all."

"Because I lack nothing now!"
