Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 503 Small Universe

This time, when everyone returned to the Main God Space, the full restoration became a mere formality. After all, this Resident Evil world posed no challenge for them, and reaping the rewards wasn't particularly dangerous; the only trouble might be figuring out how to get as much as possible.

"The same logic applies when we return to the horror movie world in the future." Mu Xiang glanced at Zhang Heng, who was the last to fall from the sky. "Many rewards that are not explicitly stated should be calculated based on the degree of our influence on a world. Otherwise, many rewards would be inexplicable."

"The clone Zheng Zha once told me that completing the Scorpion King's side quest ahead of time in 'Legend of the Gods and Demons' would grant triple the side quest rewards. This must be due to the difficulty and the fact that it was completed ahead of time, which resulted in the multiplied reward. However, blowing up Cairo City would also grant a B-level side quest and 5,000 reward points, which doesn't have the backing of completing the quest ahead of time."

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "The underlying logic of this reward should be that destroying important locations in the movie will have an impact on the world far beyond the global situation itself... Therefore, when we return to the world of horror movies, we can also consider it based on its impact."

Zheng Zha pondered for a moment: "No wonder the task you gave them before was to collect evidence and help the protagonist group contact other forces as much as possible... all to make a big scene?"

"That's one reason. When the conflict between Umbrella Corporation and other forces escalates into a war that affects the world, we might gain more benefits from getting involved." Mu Xiang shrugged as he said this. "Of course, these are all just speculations and attempts. After all, the Supreme God has not made any explicit statements. We can only figure these things out ourselves."

This time, the gathering after their return was a chance to plan out everyone's side quests and reward points... Each member of the Central Continent Team has determined their path and enhancement route, but the higher the enhancement level, the harder it is to move forward. In addition to the gains from the last team battle, the rewards from these recent trips back to the horror movie also provided much-needed relief.

After all, even if the Zhongzhou team has its share of big spenders, they still have to obediently abide by the rule of providing assistance only after each rest period. And dragging teammates who haven't fully recovered into the next match was incredibly frustrating for Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha.

Zhang Heng, unusually, didn't gorge himself on his bragging rights. Instead, he quickly ate a little and rushed out. Zhan Lan was about to complain about this guy acting alone when Long Taobing shook his head and laughed, "You just don't understand. He definitely wouldn't exchange it alone."

"How do you know?" Zheng Zha asked curiously.

"This guy is definitely going to show off, so he'll probably take a few more glances before he actually redeems it, once we're all here!"

Everyone looked at each other and laughed, but upon closer reflection, this really did fit Zhang Heng's style... It was already quite remarkable that Zhang Heng had managed to save up the funds he needed and exchange them all at once. To stop him from showing off, in his words, it would be better to kill him.

Mu Xiang smiled helplessly and shoveled the last bit of curry potatoes into his own bowl. He couldn't very well say that it didn't matter what Zhang Heng was doing, as long as he was happy, right? He had already tried his best to let Zhang Heng be himself while also increasing his contribution to the team.

The group, however, were in no hurry. Perhaps they wanted to eat more, or perhaps they wanted to deliberately keep Zhang Heng in suspense. Only after they had eaten and drunk their fill did they leisurely walk towards the Main God Plaza. Before Mu Xiang even opened the door, he saw Zhang Heng secretly watching them. As soon as the door opened, Zhang Heng immediately made a serious contact with the Main God... Unfortunately, his attempt to show off couldn't escape Mu Xiang's X-ray vision.

Mu Xiang didn't expose him. He led everyone to the Main God Square and coughed, "Didn't you already decide? Now exchange for it."

Zhang Heng closed his eyes and nodded silently, his expression solemn and dignified. Then, a beam of light shone upon him.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "Although he doesn't need our help, he's used up all the side quests after this upgrade... As long as he's happy."

Zheng Zha laughed and said, "Well, who wouldn't want to exchange for one they like? Since it's a good match, let it be."

What Zhang Heng wanted to exchange for was naturally the Saint Seiya series enhancement he had been longing for... His previous exchanges, including the telekinetic floating cannon and the Loki mask, were all equipment, but Zhang Heng himself hadn't received any attribute enhancements. The best option for his most desired Saint Seiya series was to exchange for both the Saint Seiya bloodline and the Saint Cloth together, which was why he had been saving up until now.

In his words, exchanging for other things was a sacrifice of himself for the team... As for him having a great time playing with inflatable rubber soldiers, would he admit it?
Zhang Heng's current savings exceed the amount needed for two A-level side quests, so he can easily exchange for the Gold Saint bloodline and skip the other Cloths to directly obtain the Sagittarius Gold Cloth that he desires most.

"The Saint Seiya series exchange is very special. The Saint Cloths at each stage can be directly exchanged as equipment without needing to be upgraded... otherwise his side story would still be insufficient," Mu Xiang said. "Wearing the Saint Cloth will give him an energy cycle that surpasses most of his peers, which is the Cosmo he has been longing for. However, this is ultimately brought about by the Saint Cloth. To achieve a stronger boost, he also needs a compatible bloodline, and the two must resonate for the best effect."

Zhang Jie took a drag of his cigarette: "This kid is lucky. If he were in another team, he probably would have to save up for ages to exchange for just one of them. In that case, he would have to honestly follow the God's instructions and use the Saint Cloth to cultivate his own cosmos... that would be a long way off."

"The two are inherently intertwined. The Saint Cloth needs to be refined with Cosmo, while the Saint Seiya bloodline's amplification of the body is negligible. Its greatest function is to refine the Saint Cloth... Although wearing the Saint Cloth and using external energy circulation may stimulate one's own Cosmo, how can one refine the Saint Cloth without Cosmo?" Mu Xiang said, spreading his hands. "This guy thinks he's getting a good deal."

Zheng Zha chuckled, even though he had seen through the truth of the Saint Seiya series... You might think that an A-rank Gold Cloth can unleash power exceeding most A-rank attributes, but to fully utilize it, you need to exchange for an A-rank Saint bloodline. All things considered, a complete Gold Saint is essentially a double A-rank exchange; if its power is inferior to an A-rank, wouldn't that be ridiculous?
As the beam of light disappeared, Zhang Heng's all-out effort to enhance his Gold Saint bloodline finally came to an end. He stood there, staring blankly at his hands for a moment, then closed his eyes and began to feel the power within.

At the same time, visible ripples emanated from Zhang Heng's body.
