Chapter 38: Wu Xian: I’m Exhausted, Let It All End (Please Follow! Please Add to Library!)

[Ding!]

[Main mission completed. All reincarnators are returning... Each member receives one Grade B side quest reward and 5,000 reward points.]

...

Between the shifting of black and white, the God’s prompt echoed in his ears. Bathed in the glow of fire, Wu Xian appeared in the God’s central plaza and immediately shouted at the sphere of light above:

"God! Heal everyone! Deduct the reward points from my account!"

*Whoosh—*

Almost simultaneously, seven beams of light descended from the sky, enveloping everyone, Wu Xian included.

As Chu Xuan had predicted, in the final moments before the countdown ended, the Nostromo had suffered catastrophic structural damage, and the Xenomorphs hidden within had been thoroughly eradicated, fulfilling the main mission.

Even so, the ship’s final explosion had still reached the members of Team Zhongzhou, with Wu Xian being closest to the source. However, thanks to his Black God suit, his injuries were the lightest; had the God’s healing been a second slower, he might have even recovered on his own.

Next were Zheng Zha, Mou Gang, and Li Xiaoyi, the "veteran members" who had already survived one horror movie. Their Vibranium armor had proven highly effective, leaving them with only minor internal injuries and negligible 1.5-degree burns.

Then came the newcomers, Chu Xuan and Zero. Although they had donned the ship’s emergency protective suits in the final minutes, their defense was no match for the Vibranium armor. The charred human-shaped figures currently floating in the light beams were them. Fortunately, it wasn't a major issue; as long as they still had a breath left, the God could save them, and for the current Wu Xian, the points required were a mere drop in the bucket.

Lastly was Zhan Lan. While her physical condition wasn't immediately apparent, the thick green hue of her healing beam indicated the severe toll taken by repeatedly unlocking her genetic potential. It was much like Wu Xian’s first return to the God’s space; the healing alone would likely cost over 1,000 points.

About a minute later, Wu Xian’s healing was complete. He retracted his slightly scorched Black God suit into his storage space, revealing the nano-combat suit underneath.

Collapsing onto a soft sofa in the plaza, Wu Xian let out a long sigh of relief. Only then did he lazily begin to tally his gains from this horror movie.

"God, list my earnings."

A cold, mechanical voice echoed in Wu Xian’s mind, and a translucent light screen appeared in his field of vision.

[Completed horror movie world 'Alien 1', reward: 1,000 points.]
[Completed main mission, killed Xenomorphs, reward: one Grade B side quest and 5,000 points.]
[Completed side mission, killed Xenomorphs, reward: one Grade C side quest and 1,500 points.]
[Killed 36 Warrior Xenomorphs, reward: 18,000 points.]
[Killed 10 Drone Xenomorphs, reward: 3,000 points.]
[Killed 4 Praetorian Xenomorphs, reward: 3,200 points.]
[Killed 59 Facehuggers, reward: 590 points.]
[Killed 1 Xenomorph Queen, reward: one Grade D side quest and 1,000 points.]
[Killed 1 Predalien, reward: one Grade B side quest and 5,000 points.]
[Team Zhongzhou restoration costs not yet calculated.]
[Reincarnator Wu Xian, for this horror movie, you have obtained a total of 2 Grade B side quests, 1 Grade C side quest, 1 Grade D side quest, and 38,290 reward points...]

Awesome!!

With such a massive sum, this was undoubtedly another day to thank nature for its bounty. Wu Xian let out a satisfied breath, and the corners of his mouth curled up, impossible to suppress. Don't forget, he still hadn't spent the points and side quests from his previous mission. Combined, he now had over 40,000 reward points and nearly a Grade A side quest—enough to exchange for some high-tier, powerful bloodlines.

However...

"God, check the next horror movie."

Thinking of the overly generous reward mechanism in *Alien 1*, the joy in Wu Xian’s heart dimmed slightly. He used his captain’s authority to query the information for the next film, muttering to himself, "Not a team battle, not a team battle, not a team battle..."

[Ding!]
[The next horror movie is the world of 'Ju-On'. Team battle mode activated. Team Zhongzhou will enter the world three days after the arrival of Team West Sea and Team India.]

"Heh, it really is *Ju-On*, and it’s a three-way team battle... What can I say? Should I thank God for showing mercy by not pulling in the Heavenly Team and the Devil Team as well? Heh..."

Upon confirming the information from the God, the joy on Wu Xian’s face vanished, replaced by a weary sense of "I'm tired, just destroy it all."

Wu Xian didn't understand. Really. Even without Zhang Jie—that semi-guide who could perfectly utilize double Grade A enhancements and rival a fourth-stage powerhouse—why was the difficulty of the horror movies increasing instead of decreasing? He had just farmed a tiny, infinitesimal amount of extra points and side quests. Other protagonists in fan fiction did the same thing, so why did they never get treated this harshly?

What? You say there are others? Like that stitched-together monster from next door?

What does that have to do with me, Wu Xian? Just because they share the surname "Wu" with some great Overlord?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"Sigh, what misfortune..."

He rubbed his cheeks and braced himself, beginning to think about how to deal with the upcoming *Ju-On* three-way battle.

Thinking carefully, with his gains from *Alien 1*, if he could enhance his team reasonably and exchange for some targeted items, *Ju-On* might not be as difficult as imagined.

First, Kayako. To deal with such rule-based vengeful spirits, there was a reliable "wheelchair strategy" suggested on the forums: carpet bombing with massive amounts of plasma weaponry. That could easily handle at least the first five waves of attacks. As for the most troublesome sixth wave—direct destruction from within—the members of Team Zhongzhou had mostly exchanged for bloodlines with high health and defense; their regeneration alone should keep them alive, and the final giant-sized seventh wave was nothing to fear.

The truly troublesome part was the newcomers he hadn't met yet.

If this were a normal reincarnation mission, he wouldn't care how many newcomers died. But the problem was the team battle mechanism set by God: regardless of how a member dies, the team loses points and rewards.

That was the catch. Even the original Zhao Yingkong, who had unlocked the first stage of her genetic potential before entering the God’s space and possessed a fourth-stage main personality, could not resist Kayako’s rule-based attacks without any bloodline enhancements. It could be said that even if the other two teams didn't intervene, these newcomers were at risk of dying at any moment, causing Team Zhongzhou to lose a massive amount of points. That was the main reason Wu Xian didn't want a team battle in the world of *Ju-On*.
