Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 9: Calculating Chu Xuan (Seeking follow-up reading)

"You are really too proud of yourself!"

Zhang Jie flicked the cigarette butt away, not giving them a good look, and said viciously:

"What do you think is the most important thing to survive in a horror movie?"

"It should be... familiarity with the plots of horror movies, right?" Zhan Lan gave the answer after a little thought.

Zhang Jie stamped out his cigarette butt and said with a sinister grin:

"Bingo! Familiarity with the plot is our greatest asset, so I will never change the plot until I'm absolutely sure."

"Think carefully about how dangerous your previous actions were! Even the slightest mistake could have completely cost us the mercenaries their trust and left us dead!"

"Yes, you succeeded in the end, but the process was tortuous. It's not something you can just brush aside just because the result is acceptable!"

Hearing this, Zhan Lan's high spirits subsided, and he lowered his head and whispered:
"Sorry, if it weren't for my leg injury, Fang Ge wouldn't..."

Zhan Lan thought of the dead Mou Gang and the aunt, she couldn't stay out of it - but when it came to paying tribute to them, Zhan Lan didn't even know the names of the victims.

"We can't speak for the people involved. In the middle of the night, they can come and hunt me down."

Fang Ge spoke calmly, taking on the responsibility without flinching or evading:
"If the Lord God is truly omnipotent, then I will win everything here. Even resurrecting others by then will be possible, right?"

He would not be intimidated by Zhang Jie's tricks. The groundwork had been laid and it was almost time to reap the rewards.

My pants are already taken off, and you tell me not to do it? Forget it?

How could a player possibly listen to an NPC so obediently?
Zheng Zha, who wanted to speak up to defend Fang Ge, was stunned when he heard Fang Ge mention the word resurrection.

The haunting shadow appeared in my mind again, every frown and smile was so beautiful and moving.

Like a ray of bright moonlight shining through the iron bars of a prison cell.

Loli... Can Loli be resurrected in the main god space?
Since her death, Zheng Zha has never truly lived again. His body is like a cage, and death is just a release.

Chu Xuan took in everyone else's performance, then lightly pushed his glasses and expressed his opinion:
"We are the ones who benefited from you and have no right to blame you for your helplessness at that time."

——As expected of a highly intelligent person, these words really make me like him more.

If it was Chu Xuan, it wouldn't be a big deal to just listen to it.

"Winning it all...you really want it!"

Zhang Jie sneered.

He lit up a Zhushen brand cigarette and took a deep breath.

His cigarette-stained fingertips flicked off the ashes, and also flicked off his life.

He didn't know whether he could win or not. Zhang Jie only knew that he had lost everything in the main god space and no longer even hoped to have anything again.

Not wanting to argue with Zhang Jie about following the plot, Fang Ge changed the subject.
"Let's first talk about what the side story is, Senior Zhang. This sounds like a more advanced token."

The guide has a basic setting. Whenever a reincarnator asks the main deity about its basic functions, the guide must answer.

Fang Ge knew all the rules clearly, and he had only one purpose in asking Zhang Jie this time.

That is to arouse Chu Xuan's desire to [score]!

Zhang Jie puffed out some smoke, squinted his eyes and said:

"There are so many things you can exchange with the Lord God. Too many, I haven't even seen them all. There are four main categories of items. One is technology, like guns, bulletproof vests, and even some weapons you'd only see in science fiction movies. But they're too expensive, I can't afford them..."

"The second category is magical legends, such as magic scrolls, our Chinese Taoist talismans, and some amulets and swords..."

"The third category is auxiliary items, which include antidotes, immunity boosters, therapeutic agents, and various auxiliary medicines. There are also consumables like bullets. There are even some super-tech products, such as invisible reflectors, which can make your body hidden. In addition to these, there are also some strengthening items."

"It's hard to imagine, but with just a D-level side storyline, you can master ancient martial arts and qigong... and with a B-level side storyline, you can turn yourself into Spider-Man in the movie. Ha! That's hilarious."

Fang Ge grasped the key words and seemingly unintentionally asked a soul-searching question that Chu Xuan absolutely could not ignore:
"You mean, we can use the side story to purchase genetic enhancements to replace our bloodline and genes? Or even - surpass humanity?"

"Although I haven't tried it, the redemption items are indeed written like this. For example, your C-rank side story can be redeemed for the T-Virus enhancement."

Zhang Jie looked at Fang Ge with a half-smile and said:

"You only need to use another 1500 bonus points to increase your intelligence by 20 points, your mental strength by 20 points, your cell vitality by 50 points, your nerve reflex speed by 50 points, your muscle strength by 50 points, your immunity by 100 points, and gain the T-Virus evolution function."

After saying this, he tutted his tongue with a hint of sourness:
"Damn it! As long as you come back alive, you can redeem it! I survived with such difficulty, but I didn't even have the chance to get such an enhancement!"

——You can rest assured that I won’t exchange it for something as cost-effective as the T virus.

Without paying too much attention to Zhang Jie's performance, Fang Ge glanced sideways to observe Chu Xuan's movements.

He knew that this cold man must not be calm at this moment.

Resident Evil 1 is not an alien, so there is no need for hysterical struggle.

In Alien , simply surviving requires every ounce of effort.

Now they are relaxed and at ease, and as for the space to score points... there is more than enough room.

Chu Xuan adjusted the angle of the lens in advance, trying to use the reflection to cover up his expression. This involved his only desire.

The Lord God...can he allow himself to have emotions?
This matter is doubtful. But Chu Xuan will try any possibility.

If the Lord God really has the ability to modify genes, this should be just a small problem.

Chu Xuan had to consider whether this was his only chance in this life.

There were people in the army who mastered qigong, and he didn't think it was more difficult than changing genes.

Aren’t the two D-level side plots he has too few?

What's more, before considering his own affairs, Chu Xuan had to fulfill his father's last wish first.

There's no confirmation yet on whether the information is for sale, or what the price of the blueprint is...

"Chu Xuan! You bit your finger and it bled! Doesn't it hurt?"

Zhan Lan's beautiful eyes widened as she reminded anxiously.

Chu Xuan finally came back to his senses, and a faint sense of touch told him that warm blood had passed through his palm and flowed down his wrist.

"I was so focused... Sorry."

Chu Xuan took out a handkerchief expressionlessly and wrapped it around the wound to stop the bleeding.

The disadvantage of having no sense of pain appeared again... Now that I have left the Longyin Base, there is no need to imitate my father's thinking movements.

——The fish has taken the bait... Now it's time to harvest.

Fang Ge took in all of these performances.

At this moment, Chu Xuan will transform from the hardest shield to the sharpest spear!

He has played this game at least eight hundred times, if not a thousand times, but every time he plots against the dead-eyed, expressionless man, he gets strong positive and negative feedback.

Every pore on my body is emitting joy! How can I describe it with just one word: awesome?
Chu Xuan's brain was processing a large amount of information all the time. He quickly made a plan and started implementing it immediately.

"C-rank and D-rank, judging by the relative relationship between side quest rewards and reward points, C-rank should be higher than D-rank. Similarly, there should be A-rank, B-rank, and even S-rank or EX-rank side quests."

Colonel Chu, like a precision instrument, began to operate at high speed:
"In the original novel, Spence was killed by the Creeper at the end of the story. Before that, he locked the protagonists in the laboratory and almost killed Alice and her group."

"He's the villain in the story. Does his premature death mean that the plot related to him will no longer occur or change?"

"As Fang Ge said at the beginning, in addition to the main quest, there will also be side quests. The Lord God has indeed given us room to earn extra money. Completing these [side quests] will earn you rewards, and to a certain extent, it will interfere with the [main quest]."

"Based on this, isn't it possible that anything that interferes with the main storyline is a side quest? It's killing people who should be alive, or allowing people who should be dead to survive..."

"From the original main plot of Resident Evil, it is entirely possible to separate out some parts that seem to be [side plots]."

Zhan Lan was still listening with great interest, but Zheng Zha was already starting to get a headache.

Chu Xuan spoke like a machine gun, and his words contained so much information that it was impossible to digest them all in a short time.

"Hey! Stop thinking about changing the plot!" Zhang Jie was sweating profusely. Realizing that something was wrong, he warned fiercely.

But who was Chu Xuan? Whether physically or mentally, this man didn't know what fear was!
He ignored it and continued to analyze:

"Different events will have different impacts on the original plot. Since there are levels... does this mean that the greater the impact on the plot, the more advanced the rewarded side storyline?"

"I think being prepared to complete some side quests will help us survive! This is not only reflected in the extra income after returning, but also in the present."

"The simplest example is killing the villains and saving the good guys. If the mercenary team is always complete, it will undoubtedly make it much easier for us to complete the main storyline."

"At the same time, since the Lord God has an incentive policy of rewarding additional high-level tokens for such behavior, it further proves that changing the direction of the story within a reasonable range is what the Lord God is happy to see happen!"

——Everything black can be said to be white... Although it is almost the same, your purpose is too obvious.

Fang Ge found it really hard to hold back his smile.

Zhang Jie had a helpless expression - he began to regret his bad words and had to warn them not to continue changing the plot.

The counterproductive consequences have been stuffed into his mouth.

As if worried that they were unwilling to cooperate, Chu Xuan continued to output.

"Even if we take a step back, ensuring the survival of the mercenaries is beneficial to us rather than harmful. After all, we have almost completely gained their trust."

"Do you have a plan?"

"How to do?"

Zhan Lan and Zheng Zha both expressed their agreement directly.

Hearing this, Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and revealed a burning gaze:
"I have a plan..."
