Infinity: Our Zhongzhou team is really amazing!

Chapter 178 Return and Live Court Opening (11) (5.6k)
It was that familiar state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness again, and I didn't know how much time had passed.

Maybe it's a moment, or maybe it's a long time.

In short, when Zhuang Boshi opened his eyes, what he saw was the familiar scene in the "Lord God" space.

A huge ball of light stood far above everyone's heads, surrounded by the dark eternal void.

He and Chu Xuan were immersed in the beam of light, while everyone else stood on the ground and looked at them.

Except for Zhang Jie and his classical beauties, they disappeared.

This time, Zhuang Boshi's soul was severely damaged. After he cut off his inner demons, a piece of his spirit was dug out alive, causing serious damage to his mind and soul.

Chu Xuan seemed to have encountered a similar situation.

When Zhuang Boshi and Chu Xuan were both repaired, they fell to the ground.

Zheng Zha silently looked at the burnt cigarette butt on his finger. He sighed silently, put the cigarette butt in his pocket, and walked forward.

"It took quite a long time to repair it, hahaha." Zhuang Boshi looked at the Lord God and uttered this sentence after a long time.

However, there was no response. All the teammates gathered around and looked at him and Chu Xuan with complicated eyes.

The main god space was so quiet that only the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard.

"Ahem." A hint of embarrassment crossed Zhuang Boshi's face. "Is everyone okay?"

There was still silence for a while, and then Zheng Zha slowly said, "It's fine."

"I just heard Zhang Jie tell a joke."

He said indifferently, "Cheng Xiao and Lingdian were also there listening."

"When I first came back, I told this joke to Ming Yanwei, Zhao Yingkong, and Lao Qi."

“Everyone was laughing happily.”

Although Zheng Zha was talking and laughing happily, everyone's expressions were very complicated.

Zheng Zha was indifferent, Cheng Xiao was weird, Ming Yanwei was relieved, Zhao Yingkong was angry, but Lingdian and Lao Qi were relatively calm.

Zhuang Boshi glanced at Chu Xuan out of the corner of his eye and found that he had no expression at all and didn't seem embarrassed at all.

He was obviously not as thick-skinned as Chu Xuan, so he could only bite the bullet and explain: "This is not a joke. There may be some misunderstanding."

"There is no misunderstanding." Zheng Zha interrupted his explanation, his voice becoming colder and colder.

"Zhang Jie told us everything."

"You two are really doing this for the good of everyone." Zheng Zha emphasized the word "good".

"I worked so hard, thought so hard, and couldn't sleep at night."

"So, I came up with this idea to help everyone."

Likewise, the word “help” is also very important.

Zhuang Boshi covered his face like Xiang Zuo and sighed: "You should also know Zhang Jie's specialness. He has no time anymore."

"This was also his final contribution to the team."

Zheng Zha laughed twice, but no emotion could be heard.

Saito Yi looked at Zhuang Boshi and Chu Xuan with a complicated expression: "Actually, you can also discuss it with us."

"We will support you."

"After all, you are always right."

Zhuang Boshi could only cover his face and shake his head.

Ming Yanwei said softly, "I've thought about this before. What if I wake up and see you, Zhuang Boshi, show up with everyone again and say that all those things were just pranks on me?"

"Everyone was just joking. There was no killing, no pain and despair. How wonderful it would be."

"Now, the dream has come true."

"I'm very fortunate and very happy."

The voice was calm, without any complaints or anger, and Zhuang Boshi felt a little ashamed.

But Chu Xuan remained expressionless.

——You better give me some reaction, Chu Xuan. All the firepower is directed at me!
Of course, the court session has not ended yet and the trial is still going on.

Zhao Yingkong was confused and a little angry: "Zhuang Boshi! Did you secretly take me out of the Moria Mine?"

"It felt like I fell asleep there, and when I woke up I was in a wetland."

"If I hadn't gotten lost for a while, I would have definitely reached Lonely Mountain. Otherwise, this person wouldn't have gotten there first."

Zhao Ying glanced at Cheng Xiao with a sigh of relief.

"Ah," Zhuang Boshi asked doubtfully, "I didn't. Later, Chu Xuan and I were trapped in Mordor."

"Maybe it's the weird energy field over there, haha." Looking at Zhao Yingkong's unbelieving expression, Zhuang Boshi could only laugh dryly.

Cheng Xiao then said to Zhuang Boshi and Chu Xuan with a serious face, "Don't try to avoid the problem with laughter!"

"One for you, and one for Chu Xuan!"

“I never face problems head-on!”

"It's you who don't think of a solution properly and are unwilling to discuss it with everyone."

"So, you know you're wrong!"

Seeing Cheng Xiao’s expression and Ying Kong’s disgusted look.

Zhuang Boshi was a little surprised: "Cheng Xiao, could it be that you were the one who finally got recognized as the captain?"

The seriousness and solemnity on Cheng Xiao's face could no longer be maintained. He wanted to laugh but forced himself to hold it back, and the corners of his mouth kept turning up.

"You can call me Captain Cheng from now on!" He finally put his hands on his hips and laughed.

Zhuang Boshi was speechless. Was it true that Cheng Xiao had obtained the captain's authority?

It seems that Zheng Zha reached the fourth level on his own.

Finally, there is some good news amidst the bad news.

Chu Xuan's expression was as cold as ever. He didn't even look at Cheng Xiao. He seemed to not care at all about Cheng Xiao becoming the captain.

Zheng Zha nodded and said directly: "In the end, I barely made it to the fourth level because of you two."

“I don’t even know where they went.”

Zhuang Boshi and Chu Xuan, who were trapped in Mordor by Chaos, looked at the ground and the sky respectively, not knowing what to say.

"So, Zhang Jie handed over the captain's authority to Cheng Xiao, who arrived the fastest."

Zheng Zha had no regrets. He didn't care who he gave the captain's authority to. Giving it to Cheng Xiao to help him improve his strength was also beneficial to the team as a whole.

Seeing Cheng Xiao's smug expression, the other members of the Zhongzhou team also looked constipated and unhappy.

Especially the girls, they once again stepped a few steps away from this person, fearing that they would be contaminated by something strange.

Lingdian never intended to become the captain of the Zhongzhou team. After all, he was not cut out for it and could only be a weapon, not a leader.

but.
Lingdian felt very jealous when he saw Cheng Xiao's smug look.

He had never been jealous of Cheng Xiao, but this time, he really felt jealous.

Compared to Cheng Xiao, I am at least more stable, right?

If I hadn't chased Zheng Zha to Changhu Town, I would have been the first one to arrive at Gushan.

Even Saito Hajime couldn't help but think that since even Cheng Xiao could be the captain, it seemed that there was really no shady dealings in this captain competition.

If Cheng Xiao can do it, then why can't I do it too?

If I had known earlier, I would have sped up and been braver and gone directly to Lonely Mountain. Then I would have been the captain.

If you become the captain, you must promote the flying broom to the whole team.

"As the captain, I would like to emphasize three points to everyone and give instructions for the next steps." Cheng Xiao straightened up and began to prepare to speak in a pretentious manner.

The rest of the Zhongzhou team simply ignored Cheng Xiao's performance. Zheng Zha touched the cigarette butt in his pocket, took a breath, and said, "Come to my house, and let's talk it over."

Everyone followed Zheng Zha into his room.

Cheng Xiao was still muttering, "I'm the captain now, why doesn't anyone listen to me?"

There were no classical beauties in Zheng Zha's room. Lingdian's effeminate brother and sister and Zheng Zha's Loli were not good at cooking, so everyone consciously exchanged some ready-made dishes with the Lord God.

Looking at the table full of delicacies from land and sea, everyone lowered their heads and started eating.

After all, everyone had a miserable life in The Hobbit. They didn't bring many supplies, slept in the open air, and had to eat raw meat many times.

Only after everyone had finished eating did Zheng Zha and the others look at each other silently.

Lingdian's sister was very sensible. She pulled Loli and started to clean up the table, while the others waited silently for the two girls to leave.

"In The Hobbit, I first woke up in the Shire"

Zheng Zha then recounted his experiences and what happened in the end on Lonely Mountain.

"So this is what happened by accident." Zhuang Boshi said with a wry smile.

No matter how much he planned, he never expected that both he and Chu Xuan would be trapped in Mordor.

As a result, even though Chu Xuan had reached the third level, he did not enjoy the benefits recognized by the captain.

Instead, Cheng Xiao was pushed to the third level of genetic lock. What a cruel fate.

"Cheng Xiao, tell me about the captain's authority." Chu Xuan looked at Cheng Xiao with a cold look in his eyes.

Cheng Xiao's originally bright smile froze, and Chu Xuan's commanding tone made him want to resist a little.

"Ahem, I--" Then seeing Chu Xuan's cold eyes, Cheng Xiao immediately shrank back.

"Captain, mainly, can quickly check various enhancements and items with the Lord God, and then get information about the next horror movie in advance, and also learn about other things..."

Cheng Xiao honestly explained the general content of the captain's authority.

"That's basically it." Zheng Zha sighed after listening to Cheng Xiao's introduction, "It seems that the reason we encountered such difficult horror movies before was probably because the guide and the captain coexisted."

"Zhang Jie. Hey."

After Zheng Zha finished speaking, he put the cigarette butt back into his pocket.

If it weren't for Zhang Jie's coercion, he would not have been able to open the fourth-level gene lock in a horror movie.

You have to know that in the last horror movie he had just opened the third-level gene lock. Even if he merged some of the genes of the blood prince in the end, it would be impossible to make such a big leap.

The others also recounted their experiences in The Hobbit.

Ming Yanwei said that she and the elves learned archery, mastered the three-arrow explosive arrow, and became more proficient in using their own elven energy.

This made everyone take notice, as there was actually such a magical archery technique that defied physics.

Especially Zheng Zha and Cheng Xiao, they faced Ming Yanwei's failed arrow at the last moment.

That kind of terrifying deterrent force was so terrifying that even though Zheng Zha thought he was fine, he had no confidence in taking the arrow head-on.

This is an arrow that is enough to threaten the fourth level!
Saito Yi set out from Rohan, but was captured by several beautiful elves on the way and almost became the chief elf's husband.

He was so frightened that he fled from Lothlorien overnight, and then ran around like a headless fly.

If he hadn't met Gandalf and Zero Point on the way, he probably wouldn't have been able to reach the Lonely Mountain in the end.

After escaping from the northern wilderness at midnight, he met Aragorn, a descendant of Isildur, and heard from him about the battle record of the Lonely Mountain team.

From that time on, he knew that Zheng Zha was not dead and had joined the Gushan team, and he also understood that all this was a setup.

So he felt a little relieved, and then he met Saito Ichi and Gandalf, and they arrived at Lonely Mountain one after another.

Then he was almost frightened by Ming Yanwei killing three heroes with one arrow.

Zhao Yingkong was sitting alone in a corner sulking. She was hunting orcs and trolls near Moria. As soon as she stepped into Moria, she found herself near a swamp.

Because he got lost, he was a step late and did not reach Gushan.

This made her wonder if Zhuang Boshi had arranged this conspiracy. Otherwise, how could she explain that she did nothing but suddenly got two B-level side plots.

Although she didn't have much thought about the captain before, because she always had a lone wolf mentality.

She could accept Zheng Zha being the captain, after all, he had always considered himself the captain.

She was also happy to have Zhuang Boshi as the captain, after all, Zhuang Boshi was the strongest person in the team.

She had no objection to Chu Xuan being the captain. After all, Chu Xuan's wisdom and help to the team were obvious to all.

Even if Lingdian, Ming Yanwei and Zhan Lan were to be the captains, she could reluctantly agree.

But in the end, someone like Cheng Xiao was chosen as the captain.

She totally disagrees!
"Cheng Xiao, you have traveled the longest distance. It is really unexpected that you are the first to arrive at Gushan." Zhuang Boshi also admires Cheng Xiao's luck and resilience.

Although Cheng Xiao looks unreliable, he is very efficient in what he does.

From Belfast Bay to Lonely Mountain, you have to pass through the territories of various dark forces along the way, which is definitely not something that can be achieved simply by speed and good luck.

Moreover, he was able to open the second-level gene lock in the process, which definitely meant that he had overcome many difficulties and obstacles.

"Ahahahaha!" Cheng Xiao laughed triumphantly.

"Of course I did. With my majestic presence, I conquered a pirate ship. They were captivated by my charisma and were willing to follow me in search of the One Piece!"

The fact is that as soon as they entered the Anduin River, the ship was smashed and all the pirates ran away.

"The orcs and humans of Gondor along the way bowed down to me and offered me food and drink. I felt embarrassed."

The fact is that they were chased by the navy and cavalry of Gondor and Mordor and were in a terrible state, and could only hide in the water and pretend to be corpses.

"And..." Cheng Xiao was beaming with joy, one hand on his waist and the other pointing at the mountains and rivers.

"All right!"

Hearing Cheng Xiao's increasingly unreliable remarks, Zhuang Boshi quickly interrupted, "Cheng Xiao, we can save our drunken stories for later. Now is the time to exchange intelligence."

Cheng Xiao immediately shrugged and muttered, "I'm the captain, but why do I feel like I'm the lowest in the league?"

"How did you unlock the second-level gene lock?" Zhuang Boshi asked directly.

"There is actually a water monster in the Anduin River!" Cheng Xiao said with some fear.

"I was almost eaten by it! If I hadn't opened the second-level gene lock, you wouldn't be able to see me now!"

Ming Yanwei sneered: "That's such a pity. I was talking about that water monster."

"What a pity for that water monster. It would be better if it was faster." Zhan Lan also rolled his eyes at Cheng Xiao.

Zhao Yingkong and Ming Yanwei also nodded in agreement.

This time, Zhan Lan played the role of Sleeping Beauty and performed the entire bed scene.

For her who has no ambition, it doesn't matter whether she is the captain or not.

But Zhang Jie used her as a prop to stimulate Zheng Zha, which still made Zhan Lan uncomfortable.

"Although I can understand Zhang Jie's approach, but you two--" Zhan Lan looked at Zhuang Boshi and Chu Xuan with dissatisfaction.

"Alright." Zheng Zha suddenly said, "Let's just let this matter go."

"This was an experience we should have faced a long time ago, but because the strong people in the team were so strong, they helped us solve many problems."

"Chu Xuan is right. We are a reverse breeding team."

"For every horror film, Zhuang Boshi's contribution to the team is at least tens of thousands of reward points. He could have directly asked Zhang Jie to recognize him and upgrade his gene lock level, but he didn't."

"Zhan Lan, you didn't gain anything this time, and you also lost the Buddha Wheel. I will compensate you."

Zheng Zha found an excuse for Zhuang Boshi and Chu Xuan, and looked at Zhan Lan gently, which made the big-breasted writer blush, lower her head and say nothing more.

After coming back this time, Zhan Lan could clearly feel that Zheng Zha's attitude towards him had changed a lot. Although she didn't know why, she was actually very happy in her heart.

Seeing that everyone was about to give him another trial, Zhuang Boshi hurriedly said, "Cheng Xiao, don't you plan to join the Tianshen team?"

"Aren't you insulting me?"

Cheng Xiao's face turned bitter. The current situation just now had made all the excitement he felt when he was confirmed as the captain disappear.

He is a family man and knows his own business. This captain was picked up.

In terms of strength, he can only barely rank third in this team, and the gap between him and the top two is huge.

No, it should be the fourth. At least with that arrow from Ming Yanwei, ten of him would have died.

Moreover, he is the least experienced member of the team, and most of his reward points were earned by his teammates.

There is my old boss in the team, so how can I be confident?

"What am I, a captain who's not worthy of the title, doing in the God Team?"

"Team Celestial God." Saito Kazu was pondering the team layout in the Samsara Space. He said with some concern, "What an arrogant name! If all the captain-level experts enter, then the combat power of Team Celestial God might be terrifying."

Even if all of them were lucky people like Cheng Xiao, it would still be an extremely terrifying team.

After all, Cheng Xiao has a third-order gene lock + A-level enhancement. Looking at the captain of the Indian team, I'm afraid that even the most ordinary captain has at least an A-level enhancement.

Zheng Zha said bluntly: "Old Qi, you worry too much."

"The Indiana team also has a captain, but he couldn't last a single round against Zhuang Boshi."

Cheng Xiao nodded and said, "According to the information obtained through the captain's authority, apart from the 'Demon Team', including the 'God Team', there are only five people whose gene locks have reached the third level."

"Of course, I can't find a fourth-level expert like Zheng Zha." Cheng Xiao pointed at Zheng Zha.

"But there are only five third-level ones, and there must be even fewer fourth-level ones."

"It's not ruled out that some people, like Dr. Zhuang, may have a relatively low degree of genetic lock, but have enhanced very powerful skills and bloodlines."

"Or maybe he had a fortuitous encounter in the reincarnation world like Dr. Zhuang, and his combat power far exceeds that of an ordinary third-level warrior. This is also possible."

Saito Yi finally felt relieved, although he had no idea about the fourth-level gene lock.

But at the end of The Hobbit, the battle between Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie completely reduced such a huge lonely mountain to rubble.

This kind of strength is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and the demigods in mythology are no more than this.

Even a reincarnation team like Yinzhou's, ten of them combined, are no match for a fourth-level opponent.

Zheng Zha tilted his head and asked, "Cheng Xiao, now that you have the authority of captain, what is the next horror movie?"

Cheng Xiao's smile instantly disappeared, and he said with a hint of worry, "I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse. This time we have completed the captain's certification, which will greatly improve our evaluation in the main god space."

"So the next world is a group battle, Resident Evil 2."

"The opponent is likely a team at the top of the Samsara Space."

Everyone's expression grew a little serious, but only a little.

Maybe it's because ignorance is bliss, and now the Zhongzhou team is not too afraid of team battles.

In The Mummy, there is only one person who has fought against Zhan Lan and the other psychic.

Most people didn't even see the Indian team's reincarnationists before the other team was wiped out.

This team battle was theoretically the first for everyone except Zhuang Boshi.

Without experiencing the cruelty of team battles, everyone even develops a frivolous attitude towards team battles, thinking that they are no big deal.

He even had no idea about the so-called top team in the entire reincarnation cycle.

Sure enough, the Zhongzhou team is a little arrogant now.

Zhuang Boshi sighed inwardly.

I'm afraid I'm the only one here who understands how terrifying that demon team is.

Next, we must make everyone more vigilant.

Otherwise, if you go into a team battle with that demon team with arrogance, you will be courting death.
