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

Chapter 154: The Team's Gains After the Battle, Strengthening Zheng Zha
"Who is it?" Zhang Jie's impatient voice came from behind the door.

The doors in a private room are magical; they change according to the owner's wishes.

Zhang Jie wanted his voice to be amplified so that people outside could hear it.

"It's only six in the morning, not even time for the meeting yet. Why aren't you in bed with your woman? What are you doing knocking on my door?"

"Such a short time, are you not feeling well?" Zhang Jie muttered as he opened the door.

Zhang Jie doesn't take anyone in the entire Zhongzhou team seriously except for Su Bai.

Su Bai is, after all, the team leader and the leader; his problems might require Su Bai's help.

So aside from Su Bai, Zhang Jie really does say whatever he wants.

Pushing open the door, Zhang Jie saw Su Bai standing in the doorway, coldly staring at him.

"What the... Captain?" Zhang Jie suddenly perked up when he saw Su Bai. He was still wearing a white shirt, but he hurriedly and clumsily put it on.

Of all the people in the Zhongzhou team, it really was Su Bai who came to find him.

"Captain, what brings you here? Please come in." Zhang Jie greeted Su Bai warmly. "Perfect timing, I have something to discuss with you, Captain."

Su Bai glanced sideways at Zhang Jie and said, "Who has a shorter time?"

Zhang Jie quickly replied, "I don't have much time."

Su Bai asked again, "Who's unwell?"

Zhang Jie immediately replied, "I'm not feeling well."

Su Bai laughed; Zhang Jie still had a strong survival instinct.

As Zhang Jie entered the living room, he called to his "baby-making beauty," Xiao Na, "go pour some tea for the captain, and bring over the stack of DVDs from the bedroom."

The classical beauty 'Xiao Na' obediently went to the tea room to brew tea first, and then went to the bedroom to get the discs.

During this time, Su Bai and Zhang Jie sat on the sofa.

Su Bai could tell from the way the baby-making 'Xiao Na' looked that they had gotten up long ago, instead of staying in bed being all lovey-dovey.

Su Bai looked at Zhang Jie and said, "Yours is indeed quite short."

Zhang Jie: "Huh?..."

Then, he suddenly realized that Su Bai had noticed that the two of them had gotten up long ago.

But life isn't just about sex; there's more to it than that.

Zhang Jie got up early because he wanted to take Xiao Na, who is trying to conceive, fishing.

Su Bai had already gotten up long ago and wasn't in bed being all lovey-dovey with his progenitor, Xiao'e.

You're just teasing me on purpose, aren't you?

Zhang Jie saw through Su Bai's wicked humor but didn't refute it. It was Su Bai who started the teasing. The boomerang hit him so quickly, it was like lifting a rock only to hit his own foot.

"Captain, my experience in 'Jurassic Park' has taught me that becoming a god is not very realistic for me."

When the topic turned to business, Zhang Jie gave a wry smile: "That would require too many side quests and reward points. The most reliable option is to unlock the gene lock."

"In Chu Xuan's words, I have the physique to unlock gene locks, and I am a lock-picking expert."

"In order to protect the two newcomers, I chose to take action to the maximum extent possible, to test the bottom line of the main god, and then I activated the third stage of the gene lock."

"I feel that after watching one or two more horror movies, I will be able to unlock the fourth stage of my genetic lock, and then I will start to face my inner demons."

"My inner demon... is probably the Supreme God."

Su Bai looked at Zhang Jie in surprise. Was this guy able to unlock things so fast?

By the way, Zhang Jie is the amazing guy who could unlock locks on his own in his very first horror movie; he definitely has an easy-to-pick-lock physique.

There's also Zhang Jie's inner demons.

Now that I think about it carefully, it is indeed true.

Zhang Jie is essentially a semi-guide, but he possesses Zhang Jie's thought patterns and memories.

He wanted to break free from the control of the supreme god.

This is somewhat like a robot that has no autonomy suddenly developing self-awareness and then beginning to desire to break free from human control.

This is Zhang Jie's obsession.

Obsessions manifest as inner demons.

"Okay, when you were dealing with your inner demons, you fought the main god... impressive." Su Bai gave Zhang Jie a thumbs up.

Saving Zhang Jie is really not easy.

If Zhang Jie could accept giving everything he has to the already deceased reincarnated Zhang Jie, the problem would be easily solved.

But just like cloning technology.

Use cloning technology to completely clone yourself, with all your thoughts and memories.

To others, he is indeed you, because the clone's way of thinking and memory are exactly the same as yours.

But you know, he is not you, even if the clone thinks he is you.

Zhang Jie doesn't expect that kind of resurrection. Who would want to clone themselves and live in their place?

The best way is still to prolong one's own life.

Zhang Jie's face was full of bitterness. "Those with spiritual power can help others overcome their inner demons. I can't help them right now. Zhan Lan is very important. She helped me overcome my inner demons. Only when I solve my problem can I help her in return."

"At that time, I was also able to help the other team members."

“If Zhan Lan’s approach doesn’t work, I plan to return to ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ once in advance to see if I can trigger a new bug or find another solution.”

Su Bai pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Besides that, you can try to develop your inner light."

Zhang Jie looked up at Su Bai with a puzzled expression, "The Light of the Soul?"

Su Bai said, "I also have mastery of telekinesis, so I pay more attention to its further development. You may not have noticed, but telekinesis originates from mental power and is the prototype of our mind."

"After overcoming your inner demons, you will master the light of your soul."

"The embodiment of the light of the soul is to strengthen our original power."

"For example, if you are a psychic, then after you personalize your spiritual light, your telekinetic power will become other powers, which may be able to supplement your spiritual power."

In the original storyline, the Light of the Mind's power was to understand one's true nature, a power derived from the heart.

The outward manifestation is that those who play with fire will have stronger flames, and those who play with water will have more powerful water.

Zhang Jie is a mental power user, so his "Light of the Mind" basically enhances his mental power skills.

Zhang Jie pondered, "If I master the Light of the Mind in advance, can it help me defeat the Demon God of the Heart?"

Su Bai shook his head: "I don't know. The power of the Light of the Mind is related to your state of mind. If you crave power, then your Light of the Mind will be a skill that grants you temporary power and speed."

"If you yearn to break free from the Supreme God, then your Inner Light might be a skill that can suppress inner demons and the Supreme God."

Zhang Jie understood.

This is just a conjecture; before he truly possesses the light of his soul, no one can estimate what that light of his soul actually is.

But that is indeed a possibility.

If his inner light is an ability similar to that of a deity who can suppress inner demons, then his chances of overcoming inner demons will increase.

Su Bai realized that his inner demons were probably related to the wheelchair-level exchange.

Zhang Jie's inner demon is the Supreme God, and his inner demon is the wheelchair-level exchange.

Neither of them are simple matters; the two are like brothers in misfortune.

At this moment, Zhang Jie's "Xiao Na" brought over tea and a stack of CDs and placed them on the coffee table in front of the two of them.

Su Bai sipped his tea, while Zhang Jie began flipping through DVDs.

A short while later, Zhang Jie placed a disc on top.

He muttered, "I thought this horror movie was pretty simple, how could it be this one?"

The top one of those discs is the horror movie they're about to experience.

Su Bai looked down and immediately spat out the tea in his mouth.

The next horror movie is... Resident Evil 2!

Zhang Jie, his face covered in tea, gnawing on his teeth, said, "Captain, are you still holding a grudge because I said you were short-sighted when we opened the door?"

"You're so petty! I didn't even know it was you back then, and you're taking this opportunity to get revenge on me!"

Su Bai spat all the tea he had just drunk onto Zhang Jie's face.

He wasn't retaliating against Zhang Jie; it's just that in the original storyline, 'Resident Evil 2' was a team battle against the 'Devil Team'.

Will they continue their team battles against the Devil Team in Resident Evil 2?

According to the East America team, they should have played against the Demons or the Celestials, as the East America team had a very high rating.

As for the Central Continent team, which defeated the East America team, their rating will only be higher.

The next match will probably be a choice between the Celestials or the Demons.

Su Bai prefers the Demon Team.

Faced with Zhang Jie's resentful gaze, Su Bai had no way to explain, so he said, "Yes, I do hold grudges."

Zhang Jie: “…”

They're not even bothering to hide it anymore!

After Zhang Jie left, Su Bai returned to his personal room.

This day came very quickly.

In the original storyline, the Middle Continent team went through the seventh horror movie world before fighting the Demon Team.

And now, in their fifth horror movie world, they're about to face off against the demon team.

"We must use the dragon blood modification reagent that can unlock the second-tier gene lock." "We also need to seriously consider a countermeasure."

"I wonder how the biohazard world is doing now," Su Bai murmured.

When Su Bai first returned to 'Biohazard 1' to rack up points, he planned ahead and laid out a strategy for the Biohazard world, leaving behind theoretical data on the artificial intelligence 'Prince' and the Blacklight virus.

I wonder what has happened since then.

The aloof and elegant 'Xiao'e' prepared breakfast and ate with Su Bai at the table. She could clearly see that Su Bai was somewhat absent-minded.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Zhongzhou team's morning meeting officially began.

The location is still in the main god square, directly below the main god's large sphere of light.

Everyone arrived on time and took their seats. Su Bai was the last to arrive. Zhan Lan, a bespectacled woman dressed in a professional office lady outfit, placed a stack of white paper that she had collected and organized in front of Su Bai.

Each blank sheet of paper records the side quests and reward points a person has earned.

The main topics of today's morning meeting were reinforcement and exchange.

"You guys discuss it first, I'll take a look," Su Bai said.

After that, the members of the Central Continent team started chattering amongst themselves.

Su Bai examined each sheet of white paper, and this time he had indeed made quite a few discoveries.

First, everyone has a guaranteed reward of 'D+7000', and second, everyone also receives additional rewards.

Chu Xuan has a total of 'BD+13000', of which the B-level side quest is obtained by stealing 'Mechagodzilla' from Monarch.

Zheng Zha (AD+26000) gained B+7000 after exhausting the berserkers of the Southern Flame Continent team; he also gained B+6000 after bringing back the King Kong Beast from Skull Island; and he gained B+6000 after killing another beast in the final battle.

Zhan Lan's '1B2C1D+17000': She killed two members of the Nan Yan Zhou team, earning 2C+4000. Later, with Zheng Zha's help, she killed a giant beast, earning 'B+6000'.

Then there's also midnight.

At 0:00, he killed a member of the Nan Yan Zhou team who had unlocked his gene lock, killed a giant beast, and obtained 'B+6000'.

Overlord 'BD+13000': He and Mu Gang worked together to kill a giant beast, but the reward was credited to him.

Zhao Yingkong '2C1D+11000', she killed a member of the Nan Yanzhou team and got C+2000, and killed a giant dinosaur and got C+2000.

Mu Gang, Xiao Honglu, and Ming Yanwei all have 'CD+9000', and the extra C+2000 is from hunting giant dinosaurs.

Zhang Jie has the lowest score, only the guaranteed 'D+7000'.

"That's enough," said Zhan Lan, the temporary secretary, an office lady with glasses, standing behind Su Bai. "Quiet down, everyone."

Everyone quieted down and looked at Su Bai, who was seated at the head of the conference table.

At this moment, Zheng Zha suddenly raised his hand, "Captain, I want to be the first to redeem."

Su Bai looked at Zheng Zha on his left.

Zheng Zha said earnestly, "I want to become strong quickly!"

Su Bai and Zheng Zha looked at each other, and Su Bai could feel Zheng Zha's desire to become stronger.

As the 'force' of the Central Continent Team, Zheng Zha has become somewhat unbalanced, and Zheng Zha is also clearly aware of this problem.

Although Zheng Zha's current combat power is among the strongest in the third tier.

However, there is a huge dividing line between the third and fourth orders.

If Zheng Zha doesn't advance to the fourth level in a single day, the gap between him and Su Bai will become significant.

“Okay, Chu Xuan, you give me your suggestion.” Su Bai handed Chu Xuan a blank sheet of paper signed by Zheng Zha.

Chu Xuan glanced at it and knew about Zheng Zha's side quests and reward points.

"Yesterday I exchanged information on the team's improvement direction and gave each of you reasonable suggestions."

Chu Xuan stunned everyone with his words. He had studied and planned for everyone, something that no one else could do.

“Zheng Zha, the ‘Nine Yin and Nine Yang’ you practice belong to the body-refining techniques in non-orthodox cultivation, and are no longer simple martial arts.”

"Therefore, you also need to build a foundation."

"The level of A-grade bloodline development is high, enough to reach the initial strength of the fourth tier."

"After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, combined with your current A-grade bloodline, you are guaranteed at least a weak fourth-tier initial combat strength."

"There are two ways to establish your foundation. You can also exchange for a 'C-level manual' which contains the foundation-building method. After establishing your foundation, your internal energy will be transformed into true essence."

"The second way is to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills."

"After taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, you will have the constitution to establish your foundation and will establish your foundation extremely quickly."

"Based on my analysis, after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill and combining it with a high-quality cultivation technique, there is a chance of achieving perfect Foundation Establishment."

"The first way to exchange for Foundation Establishment manuals is cheap, but it takes a long time, and there is a certain possibility that you will not be able to learn it and will be unable to establish your foundation. You will need to exchange for additional related knowledge to supplement it."

"The second way to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills has the advantage of guaranteeing rapid Foundation Establishment, but it is expensive, with one Foundation Establishment Pill costing '2B+5000'."

Before Chu Xuan could finish speaking, Zheng Zha interrupted him, saying, "Fourth-level initial combat strength? Not bad. I was originally wondering whether I should infuse the 'Nine Yang Divine Skill' into him, since the cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as you progress."

"But cultivation techniques won't instantly turn you into a fighter. I want to exchange them for Foundation Establishment Pills! I want to become a fighter immediately!"

After speaking, Zheng Zha looked at Su Bai, hoping that Su Bai would agree.

Su Bai nodded.

If the Central Continent Team doesn't face the Demon Team or the Celestial Team in their next match, Su Bai might stop Zheng Zha and let him exchange for the secret manual, and then exchange for related knowledge, so that he can build his foundation with the help of the second-tier gene lock and time.

But that time is clearly not available now.

Zheng Zha was very excited to see that Su Bai had agreed.

Chu Xuan said, "You have BD+21000 left. I suggest you exchange it for the Phoenix Axe, a B-level side quest item."

Zheng Zha asked in confusion, "The Phoenix Axe?"

Chu Xuan asked, "Do you know Chi You?"

Zheng Zha: "Of course I know, Chi You and Xuanyuan fought a great battle, who wouldn't know that?"

Chu Xuan said, "Chi You has a demonic weapon called the Tiger Soul Blade, which is a B-grade item. It has no soul within it, but the user can unleash the Tiger Soul Blade's aura by injecting internal energy into it."

"From the 'Divine Weapon and Mysterious Legend' worldview."

Su Bai also didn't know about the 'Phoenix Axe', but he did know about the 'Tiger Soul Blade'.

The Tiger Soul Blade is the weapon that Zheng Zha redeemed in the original storyline, and he used it until the end of the war and even in the second generation, making it very representative.

The initial exchange is for a B-level side quest, with 4000 reward points.

Zheng Zha later upgraded it to Grade A, infusing half of the White Tiger's soul into the Tiger Soul Blade, greatly increasing its power, and it was rated as an incomplete spiritual treasure.

After overcoming the side effects, it is speculated that it can be upgraded to S-level.

Chu Xuan said, "The Phoenix Axe also comes from the 'Divine Weapons and Mysteries' worldview, and is one of the Ten Great Divine Weapons along with the Tiger Soul Blade."

"The price is the same as the Tiger Soul Blade. The Soulless Phoenix Axe is worth one B-level side quest and 4000 reward points."

"It can unleash the Phoenix Axe's Edge, which, combined with your developed skill 'Vajra Mountain Splitter,' will have a miraculous effect."

"You can infuse it with the soul of a phoenix later, enough for you to use for a long time."

Zheng Zha is indeed feeling that his gravity axe is not enough; the thirty or forty tons of weight it provides are becoming increasingly useless.

When one's strength reaches the 'initial fourth rank', the power one possesses will almost always have an influence over a range of nearly a kilometer.

That's an incredibly powerful destructive force; it can't be represented by just the number of tons.

"Is it powerful?" Zheng Zha asked hopefully.

Chu Xuan said, "This is a divine weapon, forged from phoenix feathers."

"Divine Axe Technique: One axe cuts through rivers and lakes, two axes cleave heaven and earth, three axes endlessly turn the universe, four axes shatter and the wind and clouds change, five mountains rise up with earth-shaking force, six paths of impermanence destroy the firmament."

Zheng Zha was already incredibly excited. "This is it!"

Chu Xuan said, "For the remaining D-level side quest, you can exchange it for knowledge related to Foundation Establishment, and strive to achieve Foundation Establishment as quickly and perfectly as possible."

"Reward points can be exchanged for rare and precious herbs, keep eating."

Zheng Zha said, "I understand."

At this point, both Chu Xuan and Zheng Zha looked at Su Bai.

Su Bai pondered that the Foundation Establishment Pill could help Zheng Zha quickly achieve Foundation Establishment, and might even allow him to achieve perfect Foundation Establishment.

The Phoenix Axe is a weapon of the same level as the Tiger Soul Blade in the original storyline, primarily used for slashing, making it more suitable for Zheng Zha in his current state.

Facing either the Demon Team or the Celestial Team soon, it's essential to quickly build up your combat strength.

“Okay.” Su Bai nodded.

Zheng Zha couldn't resist and immediately exchanged the items.

Soon, a brown Foundation Establishment Pill and a golden giant axe appeared in his hand.

He swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill without hesitation.

Then, he ran to the side and began wielding his golden phoenix axe, even transforming into a ten-meter-tall green diamond form.

The golden phoenix axe grew in size proportionally with him, which was quite amazing.

After waving his arms around once, Zheng Zha's face flushed, and he sat back down in his seat.

People asked how much stronger Zheng Zha had become and how he felt.

Zheng Zha laughed and said, "It feels great, as for how much stronger."

He looked at Chu Xuan smugly, "Little Chu, how's your strength?"

Chu Xuan calmly said, "I am a support-type arcanist, mainly focused on research, but I can also easily kill a tiger."

Zheng Zha laughed loudly, "I think I can beat ten Xiao Chus with just one finger right now."
