Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 20: Mastering the Doctrine of the Mean - Internal Strength
In the empty main square, the two groups of three people without personnel reached the most basic alliance agreement.

"Don't worry about why I'm so familiar with this place... Anyway, coming back here is like home to me."

Fang Ge was too lazy to play so many tricks with the NPC, so he said bluntly:

"Those who understand this kind of thing will understand it. I can't explain it to those who don't. There are too many things involved. If I tell you, maybe [light will come out of chaos]."

"Can't say it? I understand." Chu Xuan nodded slightly and accepted this setting lightly.

——What on earth do you understand? Why don’t I understand?
Fang Ge complained in his heart without commenting, and pointed to the [Golden Stone Tablet] under the light ball, on which were engraved documents related to the team battle.

"If you're interested, you can take a closer look. We'll discuss it in detail with other teammates tomorrow."

"Anyway... around the fourth stage of the gene lock, you can start fine-tuning your genes, allowing you to have emotions, taste, and so on. As for temporarily borrowing senses, there are ways... Have you seen Pacific Rim?"

"Are you talking about the [synesthesia device] used when operating the [Mecha Hunter]?" Chu Xuan seemed to understand.

Fang Ge nodded and smiled:

"Even though it doesn't belong to you and the expression isn't entirely accurate, it's still okay to eat a couple of apples occasionally to taste the flavor. Compared to buying directly, making it yourself according to the blueprint is more cost-effective."

"Thank you."

"Hey, we're all brothers, why are you being so polite?"

Fang Ge raised an eyebrow and patted Chu Xuan's shoulder casually.

"Since I've given you such a constructive suggestion, you'll be responsible for paying for the side quests and bonus points when I return to the real world."

Chu Xuan: “…”

"It's a deal! If you behave yourself, after this horror movie is over, I'll tell you how to use external force to unlock the subsequent levels of genetic locks. Levels two, three, and four are as easy for me as eating and drinking water."

Chu Xuan: “…”

Chu Xuan had done some research on micro-expressions and psychology, and he could roughly conclude that Fang Ge was not lying.

This is far more outrageous than [Fang Ge’s nonsense]!
"Alright, prepare everything carefully for me, including what I should and shouldn't bring when I return to the real world. Don't make any mistakes. Don't waste any extra reward points or side quests. I need to redeem them first."

Fang Ge closed his eyes and connected with the Lord God. Only poor Chu Xuan was being toyed with.

[Nine Prison Gates] contains all the enhancements of [Being in Jail] under normal conditions.

They are not necessarily weak, but they often have some fatal flaws, which make them unsuitable for the environment of the main god space.

For example, [Orthodox Cultivation] and [Samsara Army], these two big consumers of resources, if they don’t have the backing of the Samsara World and rely solely on exchange, I’m afraid even nine lives will not be enough to die!
Therefore, if you want to carry forward [Prison Nine Gates] and make it the main force of the team, every reincarnation world must become the back garden of the Zhongzhou team!

The first reincarnation world is the most important!
Completing the storyline of Resident Evil 2 and the final chapter is certainly not difficult, but it still requires a certain level of strength.

So the question is, 1B2C cannot afford the invincible [Demon Hunter], and Fang Ge himself is unwilling to use this brainless enhancement.

What if you forget the original purpose of [Prison Nine Gates] when you reach the end of the game? How can you explain it to your boss?

What about the other [Nine Prison Gates] enhancements?

[Summon the Ancient Yamata no Orochi] and [Orthodox Cultivation] are too expensive, and are not worth touching for the time being.

The [Samsara Army] is a whole entity, and it is up to the team members to explore the Samsara world step by step.

As for the [Sharingan], Tadashi isn't strong enough, and she will have Dianpo to strengthen it in the future.

As for the [Zanpakutō], it is unrealistic to release it in a short period of time without strengthening the high-level spiritual pressure.

Regarding the [Dual Cycle], except for the destined protagonist Zheng Zha, it's easy for others to [Mutate] after strengthening. This [Amazing Exchange] is the wisdom that belongs only to Zheng Zha and cannot be arbitrarily taken away.

As for Spider-Man, the few attributes that his bloodline boosted were hilarious. Resident Evil 2's plot picks up right after the first, and he didn't have the time to train and upgrade to his Level 2 Transcendental Body.

Eliminating all the options one by one, Fang Ge ultimately has to rely on his invincible [internal force]!
——Lord God, exchange for the [Sunflower Manual], [Northern Sea Divine Art] secret book, and [Nine Yang Divine Art] secret book!
[Sunflower Manual, from the Fan Wuxia series, is a martial arts manual focusing on internal cultivation, supplemented by external cultivation. To master this skill, one must castrate oneself. Requires 1500 reward points.]

Bei Ming Divine Art, a technique from Pan Wuxia, generates a vortex of suction at every acupoint on the body, drawing on the internal energy of others and transforming it into Bei Ming True Qi. It possesses both yin and yang qualities: its masculine strength is as scorching as a furnace, while its feminine strength is several times colder than ice, and it is compatible with all martial arts. Immunity to poison, it is powerful and domineering, and its attacks are unparalleled, unleashing immense power. Its True Qi shields the body, greatly increasing defense and repelling attacks. To enhance it, one A-level side storyline is required, rewarding 10000 points. To redeem the secret code, one C-level side storyline is required, rewarding 1000 points.

[Nine Yang Divine Art, originating from a martial arts novel, grants mastery of boundless internal energy, allowing even ordinary punches and kicks to unleash immense offensive power. Its defense is unmatched, with its automatic shield function repelling external attacks, transforming it into an indestructible form. Its practitioners possess light-kung gong skills surpassing those of any other master in the world. It is also a healing tool, offering immunity to all poisons and specifically designed to counteract all cold and toxic internal forces. To enhance it, one A-level side storyline is required, offering 10000 points. To redeem the secret book, one C-level side storyline is required, offering 1000 points.] With a thought, the side storyline and bonus points were deducted by the Lord God.

Two paper secret books suddenly appeared in Fang Ge's hands. At the same time, the relevant information of the [Sunflower Manual] was injected into his mind by the Lord God through [initiation], as if he was born with this skill.

Of course, according to previous gaming experience, this knowledge is virtual and will be [forgotten] after exiting the game. It is just a false mastery brought about by electrical signal stimulation.

The player's authority with the Lord God is higher than that of ordinary NPCs.

There are also many more things that can be exchanged.

It is said that in the new version, as long as the player specifies the [entry], even if it is not in the main god's inventory, the AI ​​will immediately generate a localized version of the infinite world based on relevant documents for players to redeem.

As for how strong it is compared to the original... well, you get what you pay for.

Let’s talk about the [Sunflower Manual] first. It was originally a [exchange for skipping classes] that Z University casually promised to travelers who accidentally traveled into the main god space.

In the [Infinite World], NPCs are invisible and only players can redeem them. This is considered a [Newbie Benefit].

With only 1500 reward points and 30 days of practice, you can develop Spider-Man-level physical fitness and sunflower internal force close to the level of B-level Advanced Internal Force.

That level of physical fitness is not as good as that enhanced by the T virus, and can be completely ignored. The main purpose is [internal strength].

Fang Ge certainly didn't want to become a eunuch when he exchanged for this martial art.

First of all, castration is actually unnecessary.

The cultivation of [Sunflower Manual] is the ultimate yang internal force. Because of the excess yang energy, desires arise and one cannot control oneself, which makes it easy to go astray.

In order to maintain his sanity, the cultivator had to castrate himself.

In the old version, a forum expert tried it himself and finally found out:
As long as you maintain [Sage Mode] all day, and don't store too much sunflower internal force in your body, you can practice.

Moreover, the [Sunflower Manual] is just Fang Ge's transitional choice. This skill will eventually be implemented on the [Samsara Army] clones.

As long as the plan goes smoothly and the Zhongzhou team successfully controls the umbrella, this technique will be able to play its greatest role.

Then why use the [Sunflower Manual] to transition?
Firstly, the Sunflower Manual is the cheapest initiation-type martial arts enhancement technique. It can provide Fang Ge with enough basic martial arts knowledge and a set of remarkable body movements and martial arts skills.

In this way, when learning other skills and martial arts, it will be countless times easier to apply what you have learned to other similar situations than to start from scratch!
Secondly, the advantage of the Sunflower Manual is speed! In particular, its cultivation speed is incredibly fast, allowing it to quickly accumulate internal energy to be consumed by those cultivating the [Northern Divine Art]!

Fang Ge didn't want to prepare for the birth of a human being.

When the energy for creating a human being reaches a critical point, he will use the Bei Ming Divine Art to dissolve all of Fang Ge's sunflower internal energy.

Then, change to practice the invincible [Nine Yang Divine Art]!
Why go through such a detour instead of just letting Zaoren practice the Sunflower Manual and Fang Ge practice the North Sea Divine Art?

The truth is very simple.

Because, Bei Ming Divine Art belongs to the category of [Internal Force Flow]. When facing most enemies in the reincarnation world, its combat effectiveness and functionality are far inferior to the Nine Yang Divine Art.

Furthermore, the internal energy generated by the Nine Yang Divine Art and the Sunflower Manual were both extremely yang internal energies. They shared similarities. Translating from the Sunflower Manual to the Nine Yang, while not necessarily reaching a high level of cultivation, would certainly not be a problem. Quickly gaining entry, or even achieving minor success, would be a breeze.

Moreover, Bei Ming Qi has both yin and yang, and is said to be compatible with all martial arts in the world!
As long as one makes proper use of the dual cultivation method, allowing the creator to convert the previously accumulated Beiming Qi into pure energy to empower himself, the practice of the Nine Yang Divine Art will surely be twice as effective with half the effort!
After taking control of the protective umbrella, he created a hundred clones, who were constantly soaked in nutrient solution day and night, practicing the [Sunflower Manual] and accumulating sunflower internal force.

The creation of humans then used the Northern Ocean Divine Art to gather them together, and then used the dual cultivation to infuse them into Fang Ge...

You must know that the A-level internal force enhancement is only three to five times that of the B-level internal force at the beginning!
There are a large number of clones acting as power banks. Even if a lot of waste is consumed during the purification and transformation, wouldn't it be easy to obtain A-level internal force with just the remaining essence?

Is there really someone who would honestly strengthen himself step by step from the Lord God?

In this way, the [self-circulation of internal force] can be achieved, so there is no need to worry about the failure of the [Prison Nine Gates]!
The idea is certainly beautiful, but everything needs to be down-to-earth and implemented step by step.

After roughly flipping through the two paper secret books, Fang Ge found with regret that with the basic martial arts knowledge brought by the [Sunflower Manual], he could indeed read through the two secret books.

But learning them by yourself is still as difficult as ascending to heaven... At least before unlocking the [Third Order Gene Lock], pure self-study will definitely not work.

We must rely on some...external force.

- Lord God, exchange [Enlightenment Tea], [NZT-50], six [Scrolls of the Scholar's Touch], three [Scrolls of the Master's Touch]! [Medical General Explanation], [Acupuncture General Explanation], [Encyclopedia], [Sexual Arts]!
