Infinite Terror: All members of the Zhongzhou team are wheelchair-level enhanced

Chapter 105 Su Bai is overjoyed, Chu Xuan discovers a loophole in the main god.

The Indian team's performance far exceeded Su Bai's expectations.

Even without any enhancement from the main god, the strength of the Indian team in the original storyline was not weak among all the reincarnation teams.

Moreover, the captain, the 'little monk,' possesses a B-grade defensive item, the Buddha Wheel.

He could easily activate the Buddha wheel, forming a protective layer sufficient to shield everyone.

The missiles carried by the drones are not very powerful; when they hit the desert, they can probably create a crater three or four meters wide.

If they had put up a fight, they wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

"The captain of the Indian team, 'Little Monk,' has a very poor mentality. He can probably only perform at 70 or 80 out of 100."

"In the original storyline, he possessed an A-level skill that allowed him to summon the ancient Yamata no Orochi."

"If it were an A-grade bloodline... double lock + A-grade bloodline enhancement, it would be incredibly powerful, right?"

Su Bai recalled the little monk's performance in the original story. When he fought Zheng Zha one-on-one, he was frightened by Zheng Zha's crazy appearance and fists.

When the Buddha's light of the B-level defensive item 'Buddha Wheel' was broken, the little monk was so frightened that he activated the second stage of his gene lock. Instead of thinking about fighting Zheng Zha to the death, he was terrified by Zheng Zha's crazy killing intent. His mind went blank and he only wanted to escape.

He was eventually bitten to death by Zheng Zha.

It is too shameful for a powerful individual who has unlocked the second-tier gene lock to die in this way.

"No wonder he has an A-level side quest, but instead of strengthening himself, he exchanged for a summoning skill."

"He probably knows that his mental fortitude is not good."

"From this perspective, exchanging summons for battle while hiding in the back to compensate for one's poor mental fortitude is not entirely unreasonable."

Su Bai thought that the peak of A-level enhancement development could roughly align with the level of 'initial fourth rank'.

The little monk's ancient Yamata no Orochi only had two heads, one that could breathe fire and the other that could breathe lightning. In the original story, it was very weak and far from being at the 'initial fourth tier'.

The skill is good, but it's too slow to develop.

On the street, Chu Xuan, who was walking in front, suddenly deliberately fell two steps behind, walking slowly side by side with Su Bai.

"I saw it from the drone's perspective; the Indian team was in a very bad state."

"They don't focus on technology, their team is like a disorganized mess, and their hard power is inferior to ours."

At this point, Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and said, "This is very interesting. I speculate that the Indian team is stronger than us, but their performance is really too poor. In terms of hard strength, they are not stronger than us at all. They are obviously weak."

"This shows that the standard by which the main god evaluates the strength of a team is very mechanical."

Turning his head to the side, Su Bai looked at Chu Xuan and said, "Mm."

The two had changed into desert attire similar to that of the Egyptians in the city, so they wouldn't attract the attention of the locals.

"Zhang Jie has a problem, it's an open secret in the team. This time when you came to the Mummy 1 world, although you didn't say it to everyone, the 50 horror movies you watched included the Mummy 1, 2, and 3."

"I'm guessing you already know the contents of the horror movie from Zhang Jie."

Su Bai did not deny this.

Chu Xuan continued, "There's one more thing. Do you see the number of people in the two teams? We have 20 people for the highest difficulty level, while they only have 11 people."

"In the eyes of the Supreme God, we are the weak team."

"According to the team battle rules, the opposing team will receive reward points for killing one of our members."

“Give us 20 players. If we are really weaker than the Indian team, the Indian team will be overjoyed. It’s like God is giving them points again.”

Su Bai nodded and said, "I've considered that. The problem lies with Zhang Jie."

Chu Xuan said, "That's right. Zhang Jie is a kind of guiding NPC. He needs to give you authority and certify you to become a captain or leader registered with the main god. Only in this way can the Central Continent team be considered a complete Central Continent team by the main god."

"He hasn't given it to you yet, so the Supreme God will think that the dangers we've faced aren't enough, which is why the Central Continent Team doesn't have a captain."

"The main god will gradually increase the difficulty."

Su Bai acquiesced.

Chu Xuan remained calm, then changed the subject, saying, "But I believe there is another way to interpret this for us."

Su Bai stopped and looked at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan also stopped and explained, "Newcomers are a double-edged sword; they can be our weakness or our strength."

"I think this is the true meaning of God."

After a pause, Chu Xuan continued to explain, "The main god gave us 11 newcomers, definitely not so that they would all be a hindrance."

"The main god is increasing the difficulty for us to catalyze the emergence of figures like the captain, not to wipe out our entire team."

"If all 11 newcomers are a burden, and the God of War still thinks we are weaker than the Indian team, it is too difficult to make a comeback, which is unreasonable."

"Therefore, I believe that among the 11 newcomers, there must be someone who is not weak or has special skills, or someone who is exceptionally outstanding rather than just an ordinary good person."

"Although such a person is a newcomer, his strength is already equivalent to that of a seasoned veteran who has participated in one or two matches."

"They can help us close the gap in strength with the Indian team."

"To coordinate these people, you need a 'team leader' level person. This is the true meaning of the God giving us 11 new people."

Su Bai looked at Chu Xuan in surprise.

He didn't think about this issue in detail. He knew almost all of the newcomers, so he had preconceived notions and didn't go through the thought process.

Among the new recruits, four are of relatively high quality and can be used immediately.

One is the assassin Zhao Yingkong, who is highly skilled in combat. In particular, she is a schizophrenic patient with 'Da Yingkong' dormant within her, making her extremely powerful.

One is Xiao Honglu, who is at the pinnacle of human wisdom and can analyze and formulate plans to lead a small team.

One is a burly, red-faced man from Northeast China who, in the original "Ju-on" horror film, protected the newlyweds by fighting off several waves of the supernatural "Kayako."

The last one is Ming Yanwei, who possesses a 'sixth sense'. By activating her 'sixth sense', she can make predictions to a certain extent.

Since we already knew they were extraordinary, we didn't think much of it.

Chu Xuan deduced this entirely through various conditions.

“You’re right.” Su Bai agreed with Chu Xuan’s speculation, which also explained why the main god recruited newcomers with special abilities such as Zhao Yingkong and Xiao Honglu.

Moreover, there is an unwritten rule when the main god recruits new members: the 'position' will not be repeated.

The fact that the main god could still bring Xiao Honglu into the picture, even with Chu Xuan, the 'supreme sage,' suggests that the main god did not consider Xiao Honglu to be a sage.

Xiao Honglu possesses the ability to see 'death energy'. He can predict a person's death by observing the amount of 'death energy' they carry.

If he were to enter the world of the horror movie "Final Destination," he could lock onto Death's target by seeing "death energy," allowing the team to prepare for battle, making him a natural counter to Death.

Perhaps this is the path he should take.

Wise men, resource black holes, the Ice Bucket Challenge... these are not the directions Xiao Honglu is heading.

Su Bai walked forward again, and Chu Xuan followed. People were coming and going all around.

Chu Xuan said, "There are some exceptionally talented newcomers among us. We need to recruit them and integrate them into the team."

"Furthermore, those with poor character can be used as cannon fodder when necessary." "Most importantly..."

Chu Xuan dodged a passerby and continued to Su Bai: "From all this, we can see that the main god thinks we are very weak. By increasing the number of new members and using a team battle mode, he is forcing us to desperately choose a team leader."

"This method is too formulaic and too crude."

"Those newcomers with poor quality are, in the God's plan, the conditions to drag us down, reduce our score, and create dangers. Of the 11 newcomers, let's assume there are 3-4 outstanding ones, and the remaining 7-8 are all trash."

"That means the main god wants to cheat us out of 14000 to 16000 reward points."

Hearing about so many reward points, Su Bai did the math.

If they want to avoid being eliminated by the main god due to negative scores, they need to kill two members of the opposing team who have unlocked their gene locks, or one member who has unlocked their gene lock and four to five ordinary members to even the score.

This is truly hellish difficulty.

However, the Supreme God greatly underestimated the strength of their Central Continent team.

Chu Xuan's voice carried a rare hint of fervor, "Our experience in the Alien world shows that the strength of characters in horror movies is based on our strength."

"The main god will dynamically adjust the difficulty and even change the plot."

"It's like killing a monkey."

"Initially, we were only allowed to kill 10 ordinary monkeys, and the God will only give us 10 monkeys."

"As we kept killing monkeys, the main god discovered that our strength far exceeded that of 10 monkeys, or even 100 monkeys."

"It wouldn't be surprising if the monkeys mutated, and monkeys that control magic or pilot Gundams appeared."

"We are currently in the initial assessment stage. The characters generated by the main god are very strong relative to what the main god thinks of us, but very weak to the real us."

"If gods exist in this world, then there must be immortals in the East, right? The legacy they left behind... is probably comparable to or even higher than an A-level side quest."

"That was left behind by a god or an immortal!"

"Finding their remains and obtaining their legacy will present us with immense difficulties and obstacles, triggering a mission of at least B difficulty."

"But our strength is far greater than what the main god thinks. What the main god considers to be B level may be C level to us, and A level may be B level."

"Isn't the Supreme God trying to scam us out of 14000 to 16000 reward points?"

“Then we can take advantage of the mechanism that ‘the main god thinks we are weak,’ or you could call it a loophole, to make a move once and then stop before the magic monkey or the Gundam monkey appear.”

"Conservatively speaking, we can earn back at least one B-level side quest and 10000 reward points for the entire team!"

Su Bai stopped again and turned to look at Chu Xuan.

When the main god calculates the strength of a team, it does not take into account self-cultivation or manually developed technology.

The example of 'killing monkeys' also shows that the main god's evaluation of a team's strength is lagging.

The more self-cultivation and manual techniques are developed, the more severe the lag becomes.

The Supreme God encourages the reincarnators to be self-reliant and strong.

Chu Xuan deduced this 'rule' and planned to make use of it.

Su Bai, with foresight, had originally intended to take advantage of this.

"The Scorpion King's Treasure from the second part of The Mummy".

"The great tombs of other gods and ghosts in this world."

Su Bai and Chu Xuan exchanged a few words, looking at each other. Before completing the main quest, they needed to collect 'mythical legends', search for the Scorpion King's treasure and the Mythical Tomb, and explore other places!
They reached a consensus almost instantly; the two were a perfect match.

One of them is devoid of emotion and driven by self-interest and value; the other is not a saint and has strong decision-making abilities.

They cooperated very well.

Chu Xuan said, "In this team battle, the Indian team is far inferior to us. We can definitely clear the level without losing a single person."

"Based on the team battle results, the main god will adjust our strength rating, and there will be no more opportunities to easily score points and obtain inheritance in the short term."

"We must cherish this opportunity."

Su Bai nodded, "The first step is to keep the key plot characters close by, ensure their survival, and maintain control over the main quest."

Chu Xuan added, "We will receive two scriptures, the Bible of the Dead and the Bible of Resurrection. The female protagonist, Eve, knows the language of the scriptures, which is the key to our use of the scriptures."

At this point in the story, the protagonist, 'O'Connor,' is easy to find; he is imprisoned.

The female lead, Eve, and her brother, Jonathan, were not easy to find.

Zhan Lan neither recognized the spiritual power of the female protagonist 'Eve' nor her brother 'Jonathan,' nor could she find them.

So they decided to wait and see.

In the original storyline, the female lead Eve brought her brother Jonathan to meet the male lead O'Connor, and O'Connor kissed Eve hard on the lips.

This scene is very recognizable.

After finding the location of the prison, Su Bai and Chu Xuan infiltrated the prison and waited.

With their skills, they wouldn't be discovered by ordinary humans.

Not long after, just as in the original story, the female lead and her brother came to the prison to see the male lead and inquire about the 'City of the Dead'.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the male protagonist reached out through the prison's wooden fence, grabbed the female protagonist by the collar, pulled her to the side of the fence, and then leaned out to kiss her hard.

In this way, the three key characters—the male lead, the female lead, and the female lead's brother—were all found.

"Zhan Lan, record the mental strength of the three of them," Su Bai thought.

Zhan Lan, who had already connected with Su Bai using the 'Mind Chain,' spoke in Su Bai's mind, "Received."

What happened next was simple. After the female lead and her brother left, and no guards were paying attention to this area, Su Bai went forward and reached out to grasp the iron lock.

"Who are you? What are you doing?" O'Connor asked from his cell after seeing Su Bai's strange behavior.

Click...

The iron lock was crushed, falling from Su Bai's hand in fragments. He opened the cage, looked at O'Connor, and said, "Come with me."

Sitting deep inside the cell, O'Connor looked at the shattered lock with lingering fear and said, "I want to stay in jail... is that alright?"

Su Bai's eyes turned cold.

O'Connor raised his hands. "I'm leaving!"

With O'Connor taken away effortlessly, Su Bai and Chu Xuan led him out of the prison and onto the street.

Soon after, through Zhan Lan's mental scan, Su Bai, Chu Xuan, and O'Connor circled around to the front of the female lead 'Eve' and her brother 'Jonathan', blocking them.

"Hi." O'Connor raised his hand and greeted Eve with a smile, "Beautiful lady, we meet again."

Su Bai stepped forward and said, "Come with us."

Eve and Jonathan wanted to escape, but after Su Bai crushed a stone and took out a piece of gold, the money-grubbing Jonathan pulled Eve back and strongly volunteered to stay.
