Li Xiaoyi was okay, but Zhang Jie was very fierce.
The reason he helped Zheng Zha last time, even unrelated to his Guide identity, was simply because he couldn't stand Xia Ren's actions.
Using someone else's wife as leverage had already crossed Zhang Jie's bottom line.
He stared fiercely at Xia Ren and said coldly, "If you called us out, you'd better really have something, otherwise I... Zheng Zha will definitely make you regret it!"
Xia Ren smiled, extended a finger, and said:
"I have a piece of information, worth one hundred million reward points."
Instantly, everyone's pupils widened, followed by doubt.
Zhang Jie was the first to react: "Kid, what tricks are you trying to pull now?!"
The smart Zhan Lan followed closely: "Are you kidding? One hundred million reward points, are you taking us for fools? You think such a clumsy trick can fool anyone?"
Zheng Zha, whose face was green, snorted coldly. Only Li Xiaoyi showed a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Xia Ren continued: "It's normal for you to be suspicious, but this information is indeed true; I've personally verified it. I'm only selling it to you for 100 reward points. Do you want to give it a try?"
"Damn you! Trying to trick us out of our reward points again!"
"Not tricking, I'm betting on my Xia Ren's reputation!"
"What reputation do you have? How dare you say that?" Zheng Zha retorted angrily.
Xia Ren shook his head: "Look at what you're saying. Although I earned 500 points from you, I didn't trick you; you even offered to give me the reward points yourself."
"Besides. We're all in the same team, we see each other all the time. Do you think losing reputation for 100 reward points is a worthwhile business?"
"This..."
That's true.
Zhan Lan was a bit hesitant, because what Xia Ren said did make sense. But why would information worth 100 million only sell for 100?
The next second, Xia Ren answered this question:
"You might be thinking, why would someone as cunning as me only sell it for 100? The reason is simple: one, you don't have money, and two, the information is time-sensitive; selling it now yields the most benefit. You'll discover this information yourselves later anyway."
Zheng Zha immediately said: "Since we'll find out eventually, why waste money? Can't we just wait?"
"Wait one more day, and you could lose thousands or even tens of thousands of reward points~~~"
"I understand! I'll pay for this!"
It had to be Zhan Lan; her mind was very clear.
"Straightforward!"
Xia Ren, having received the money, didn't waste words and directly stated the information worth 100 million reward points:
"Main God can allow us to return to the horror movies we've entered before. After returning, we can trigger missions and obtain reward points and sub-plots."
"As long as you have the ability, go back to Resident Evil 1 and grind hard; 100 million reward points will be easy."
The few of them were instantly surprised and immediately contacted Main God.
"There really is! Returning for one day costs 10 points!"
"I also saw Death Comes, Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream. These should be the horror movies Brother Jie experienced before."
Li Xiaoyi subconsciously said: "No wonder Brother Jie is so timid! After experiencing these three horror movies, it's normal to be timid!"
Zhang Jie glared at him coldly and didn't speak.
Xia Ren clapped his hands, drew back everyone's attention, and then said:
"As you've seen, Resident Evil and horror movies like Nightmare on Elm Street are much lower in difficulty compared to others. If you don't go grind points and get stronger now, are you going to wait until you enter horror movies like Curse and Sadako and die without any power to resist?"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
It must be said, these 100 reward points were indeed well spent.
Zhan Lan had a flash of inspiration.
"You just said you've verified it?"
Xia Ren nodded: "That's right, I returned to the Beehive and killed all the Lickers, as well as two creatures suspected to be Tyrants. I earned a C and three thousand reward points."
A big fire burned the Hive Base clean.
But Main God only gave a C-rank sub-plot, which shows the fire was set too late; the virus had already begun to spread outwards at this point.
Otherwise, given the difficulty of Resident Evil 1, it should have at least given a B.
Zhan Lan instinctively resisted returning to the horror movie. She said:
"My points are all used up, and the last 100 points I had were also tricked... earned by you."
Zheng Zha was the same, even owing 500 points in hush money.
He said: "Zhan Lan is right, if you want to return and grind points, you need to exchange for at least 10 days, otherwise it won't be enough to trigger a mission."
"What's more, we're not strong enough yet. Let's wait until the next return, prepare properly, and then go back to Resident Evil 1 to grind points. Sharpening the knife doesn't delay cutting wood."
Xia Ren smiled and said: "Suit yourselves."
Since the other party didn't plan to go make money, he didn't need to waste words and turned to leave.
But Zhan Lan called out to him:
"Wait!"
Xia Ren looked back.
Zhan Lan cautiously glanced at Zheng Zha, seeing that although his face was green, he didn't seem intent on suddenly attacking and hurting someone.
What's more, Xia Ren even let him enjoy two Luo Li; 500 points was not a loss at all.
Zhan Lan said: "Although there's been a bit of unpleasantness between you and Zheng Zha, I think the world of horror movies is so dangerous that teamwork is the best way to survive, right?"
After speaking, she also quietly glanced at Zheng Zha's expression, as he was the victim after all.
Li Xiaoyi rarely mustered the courage to interject: "Sister Zhan Lan is right. Everyone knows the difficulty of horror movies; we're already struggling against those monsters. If we don't work together, we'll just die faster."
Although Zheng Zha was furious, he also felt that this made sense.
He said coldly: "Xia Ren, since you've also obtained a sub-plot and strengthened your abilities, do you dare to fight me?"
Xia Ren smiled, and suddenly his heart stirred; a thought flashed through his mind.
He said: "Looks like you're very confident. You must have found a good enhancement?"
Zheng Zha snorted coldly: "No need to beat around the bush. I've enhanced with C-rank Vampire bloodline and C-rank internal energy. Come on, let's spar. Enhanced abilities always need to be adapted through combat."
As a company supervisor, he thought more deeply.
If he wanted to cooperate with a troublemaker like Xia Ren, he had to find a way to suppress him and give him a warning, otherwise there would be endless trouble later.
Xia Ren nodded: "Alright, let me see just how capable you are."
Under the expectant gazes of the other team members, the two stood far apart.
Xia Ren made a slight estimation in his mind.
Both being C-rank Vampires, he had an extra Uchiha Physique compared to Zheng Zha, making his strength slightly superior. Coupled with the high mental strength and nerve reaction speed brought by Kaleidoscope, he should be able to easily overpower him.
But in this PK, he didn't plan to reveal his abilities, not even his Vampire Viscount status.
Zheng Zha felt the abundant power within him, instantly feeling full of heroic spirit, and generously said: "I'll let you have three moves!"
Xia Ren said calmly: "I enhanced with Uchiha Physique, trying to awaken Sharingan, but failed. However, my attributes are also twice that of a normal person, so you need to be careful."
Zheng Zha's mouth curved into a smile. Twice the physique? Hahahaha! That's no match for me! Having enhanced with C-rank Vampire, I have over three hundred points in muscle strength!
Plus the amplification from internal energy, watch me turn you into two little pancakes with one punch later!
He was full of confidence, and a victorious smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
Xia Ren's legs bent front and back, his right hand on the hilt of his shallow-strike sword, assuming a drawing-sword stance.
Zheng Zha indeed fell for it, his eyes fixed on Xia Ren, preparing to deal with a slash.
Then he heard Xia Ren say:
"To utilize my attributes, I exchanged for a sword technique called Iaijutsu. It's very fast, so be careful."
Zheng Zha: Heh heh, my nerve reaction speed is higher than my strength, over three hundred points. How fast can you possibly be, kid? Watch me grab your sword directly! Let you know what it means to know your place!
"Iai Slash!"
Bang—
A gun fired.
