As for the newcomers who died in the original work, such as the chubby kid, the middle-aged woman, and the truck driver Mu Gang, they were still slowly putting on their equipment as if there was no rush.
The reincarnated mighty one doesn't want to work overtime, right?
Li Ge looked at these minor characters in the book who didn't have much screen time and silently complained in his heart.
In the novel Infinite Terror, all those who enter the Main God Space are so-called reincarnated mighty ones.
And some mighty ones don't want to be dragged into overtime after becoming strong, so their reincarnated bodies will subconsciously seek death.
Li Ge didn't remind them of anything; after all, even if they could be saved, they would still go and seek death, making it a futile effort.
Moreover, the Zhongzhou Team currently still has Zhang Jie, a bug that increases difficulty.
If no one dies in the first round, the Main God's rating will likely increase significantly, and the difficulty of the next horror movie will also rise.
So, it's better for them to die; at least he won't be implicated by the difficulty being too high in the next round.
It's just a bit of a shame that Li Ge couldn't benefit from it.
If it weren't for the penalty for killing other Reincarnation and Zhang Jie being nearby, he would have tried to trigger the system's basic functions with them immediately.
After all, Infinite Terror also had an anime adaptation, and according to the system, as long as he killed entities with significant roles, he could become stronger.
Li Ge withdrew his gaze with a slight sense of regret.
While waiting for others to put on their equipment, Li Ge continued to guide the conversation to solidify his identity as a wise man, deliberately asking Zhang Jie, "I heard you mention the purpose of reward points earlier."
"So, can anything truly be purchased from the Main God with them?"
Zhang Jie raised an eyebrow and said, "That's right. Things like physical attributes, superpowers, technological weapons, even this Desert Eagle with infinite bullets in my hand only costs 100 points. You can even buy days of life for 10 points in horror movies you've already experienced."
"As long as you can return to the Main God Space, you're guaranteed to get 1000 reward points."
Li Ge didn't have glasses, so he couldn't imitate Chu Xuan. He could only mimic Xiao Honglu by pulling at his hair, pretending to think for a moment, and then said, "Since horror movies can be revisited using reward points..."
"Then, what about the points to return to reality? Can we go back?" Zheng Zha heard Li Ge's words and asked eagerly.
"Fifty thousand points. Only fifty thousand points can you return to reality." Zhang Jie lit a cigarette and answered Li Ge and Zheng Zha's questions with a very complex tone.
Li Ge knew that this semi-guide, who was a bug, had accumulated enough points to try and leave with the person he created, but the Main God had rejected Zhang Jie.
Fifty thousand points were accumulated in vain, but all those reward points had been exchanged for his strength, which was comparable to the Fourth Order.
Zhan Lan seemed a bit dejected upon hearing this and said, "Doesn't that mean we have to experience fifty of these horror movies?"
"Heh, how is that possible? Can you guarantee that you can survive in such a dangerous world without spending reward points?"
Li Ge unceremoniously pointed out the essence of the problem, refuting Zhan Lan's statement.
"However, if I'm not mistaken, there should be other ways to obtain reward points, right?"
Zhang Jie's brow twitched at Li Ge's words, but given his role as a guide, he couldn't refuse to answer.
He could only hide some information and try to mislead, "That's right. For example, killing monsters in horror movies will also give you some reward points from the Main God."
"Anything else?" Li Ge's relentless questioning made Zhang Jie take another puff of his cigarette, trying to answer Li Ge with silence.
However, cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead. Damn Main God, what kind of quality newcomer is this?
"You're not clear either? In that case, let me tell you my thoughts."
Well, hiding was useless now.
Li Ge pointed to his watch and prompted, "Do you remember the words 'Main Quest' on the watch?"
"If there were no other quests, why would 'Main' be added before 'Quest'?"
"Analogous to a game, if there's a main quest, there are naturally side quests. If nothing unexpected happens, side quests require us to actively trigger them, and their rewards are generous."
"After all, if completing the main quest only gives 1000 reward points, then our strength won't be able to improve much."
"Taking Senior Zhang Jie's Desert Eagle as an example, a pistol with infinite bullets costs 100 points. 1000 points would only buy 10 pistols. The rewards are too small."
"Let alone returning to reality, even surviving in subsequent horror movies would be a problem, right?"
"So, based on the currently known information, side quests are very important." Li Ge paused here, then changed the subject.
"However, I currently don't recommend that you actively try to trigger side quests."
"Why?" Zheng Zha immediately asked, puzzled. Since it could increase their survival rate and save money to return to reality, why couldn't they trigger side quests?
"The wisdom of mortals." Li Ge borrowed a quote from Chu Xuan to put on an act.
"Because this isn't a game. You can't pray that all the side quests from the Main God are easy to complete. It would be very dangerous for us, unenhanced, to do side quests."
Zheng Zha also reacted and nodded thoughtfully, "So, that means we can get stronger first and then do side quests to get reward points?"
"That's right. At this point, we need to combine it with another function proposed by Big Brother Zhang Jie, the veteran: returning to horror movies."
Li Ge looked at Zhang Jie, who was only in his twenties, so no one else found it strange for him to call this rough man 'Big Brother'.
"If we do side quests without strength, it's highly likely to be synonymous with death. But what if we buy weapons from the Main God with the reward points from the main quest?"
"As long as everyone buys an RPG and an assault rifle with infinite bullets, this world will basically pose no danger to us."
"And when we return then, triggering and completing side quests will be much simpler."
"Of course, all of these things are premise on us being able to survive and return later."
"That's all the intelligence I can analyze for now."
After Li Ge finished speaking, he stopped talking, letting them digest the information.
He was just relying on his familiarity with the plot to deduce answers and pretend to be a wise man, giving himself an insurance policy.
This way, even if his system couldn't be used and something unexpected happened, leading to his death, he could still be revived by the surviving Zheng Zha and others if they found an opportunity, relying on his identity as a wise man.
If he didn't die, then he would take the opportunity to seize control of the team's discourse before Zheng Zha, which would also increase his chances of survival later.
As for Zhang Jie's threat, Zhang Jie, being a good person, coupled with the Main God's restrictions, would not actively attack him.
So there was no need to worry too much about being tricked to death by Zhang Jie.
Of course, if he acted in a way that didn't align with Zhang Jie's values, such as deliberately harming teammates, then that would be a different story.
Zhang Jie didn't know what he was thinking, but on the surface, he sighed before saying, "Truly a monstrous newcomer. To be able to deduce so much information based on so little."
"Although I haven't triggered side quests and don't know if what you said is correct, I think your analysis is very plausible."
"It seems I'm truly getting old. If you can survive this time, you'll probably catch up to me in no time."
He was already thinking about how much longer he could accompany Na'er. If this guy were to unlock his Gene Lock in these next few horror movies, he would be in trouble.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sudden knocking on the door interrupted everyone's conversation.
It also made Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan instinctively point their Steam Guns towards it.
Li Ge also aimed his gun at the wooden door.
The Main God's protection time had ended, and now was the true moment of crisis.
Although he guessed that it was a plot character coming to guide them, what if the Main God played dirty and sent a Kabaneri to knock on the door?
Zhang Jie, however, seemed to have great skill and courage, casually pulling open the door with his Desert Eagle, seemingly not worried at all that a monster might be outside.
