Chapter 23: All Fear Stems from Insufficient Firepower (Request Follow)

"Correct, but not possibly—definitely."

Wu Xian sighed, his tone weary, then explained in detail the main god’s rule: the more points you grind, the stronger the Lunhuizhe become, and the harder the next horror film will be. The members of the Zhongzhou team instantly grew pale, their earlier confidence gone.

"So this isn’t the time to relax—we must prepare thoroughly. Only then do we have any chance of all surviving."

Saying this, Wu Xian opened the main god’s exchange list again, this time targeting the technology weapons section.

"Bloodline enhancements are complete, but given your talents, it will take a long time to fully master the innate power of your bloodlines. Unfortunately, time is the one thing we lack most."

Smiling at their expectant gazes, Wu Xian said, "But if software won’t do, we still have hardware. Take my Huntuanyan, for example—it boosts my strength by at least thirty percent."

"The upcoming Alien 1 is a standard sci-fi horror film. To effectively deal with its monsters, your best bet is armor, weaponry, and powerful tech weapons—like Gauss rifles."

Hearing this, Zheng Zha and the others began contacting the main god, studying the descriptions and point costs of high-tech weapons on the list.

Then…

"So expensive!"

Zheng Zha exclaimed, "A Gauss ion sniper rifle with infinite ammo costs 5,000 reward points and a D-rank subplot… Damn it, the subplot’s fine, but I don’t have enough reward points."

"Don’t fixate on infinite ammo—get the regular version with plenty of spare magazines. It’s much cheaper and doesn’t require a subplot."

Wu Xian was speechless, then suggested, "Use your remaining subplots to buy a storage space first—stockpile ammo."

"There’s a saying: all fear stems from insufficient firepower. If we carry several truckloads of bullets, even if that spaceship is crawling with aliens, we’ll still kill them all for the main god to see."

"Hey hey hey! Don’t just casually set up a flag! I’m getting visualizations now."

Zhan Lan rolled her eyes but moved swiftly, using her last C-rank subplot to exchange for a storage bag with a capacity of roughly thirty cubic meters—equivalent to a standard shipping container.

Upon learning the bag’s massive capacity, the others were awestruck and each exchanged for one as well.

For weapons and ammunition, they followed Wu Xian’s advice: they didn’t obsess over infinite ammo (mainly because they couldn’t afford it) but chose weapons with high damage, fast rate of fire, and large magazine capacity.

After all the exchanges, they spent only slightly over 3,000 reward points—remarkably cost-effective.

Keep in mind, this included numerous pre-loaded spare magazines, occupying about one-fifth of each storage bag’s capacity—equivalent to having robbed an arms depot.

Weapon exchange complete, next came armor.

Considering they had only about 3,000 reward points and two D-rank subplots left, Wu Xian carefully selected and ultimately recommended two combinations.

【D5 Combat Suit: From 'Devouring the Heavens,' rating 83/100, suitable for most horror plots, made of special nano-alloy fibers, stronger than steel, capable of briefly withstanding heavy weapon volleys, resistant to high temperatures, strong acids, and electric shocks, form-fitting without hindering movement… Exchange cost: 1,500 reward points and one D-rank subplot】

【Vibranium: From the 'Marvel' series, also called Sound-Absorbing Steel or Phoenix Steel, the finest metal on Earth, second only to Adamantium in hardness but superior in defense due to its kinetic energy absorption, with exceptional fusion properties ideal for most weapon forging… Exchange cost: 500 reward points per cubic unit】

"First exchange for the D5 suit and one unit of vibranium, then spend one D-rank subplot and 500 reward points to have the main god fuse and upgrade them—this will further enhance the suit’s defense."

"Wearing this gear into Alien 1, as long as the main god hasn’t overly twisted the plot by dumping us straight into the alien nest, there’s basically no risk of anyone dying… probably."

So why add that uncertain suffix? Of course there’s still risk!

The group internally grumbled, but their evaluation of Wu Xian grew high—they felt this plan was solid.

"What about you, Captain? Are you exchanging for this suit too?"

At that moment, Zhan Lan, as if remembering something, looked at Wu Xian, who was still dressed in casual clothes, and asked curiously.

"Me? Pretty much—just wearing it casually…"

Wu Xian’s lips curled slightly. He raised his right hand, adorned with the main god’s wristwatch, and clenched it hard.

The next instant, under everyone’s stunned gazes, black granular matter rapidly spread across Wu Xian’s body, instantly transforming into a majestic black armor that fully enveloped him.

It was a full-coverage suit, even covering his skull, with only two thin blue fluorescent lines glowing where his eyes should be—radiating an indescribable aura of oppression, like a war god incarnate.

【Black God Suit: From 'Devouring the Heavens,' rating 92/100, suitable for most horror plots, possessing immensely powerful defense—reducing all incoming damage by 90% within its tolerance, while also slightly enhancing the wearer’s physical attributes… Exchange cost: one B-rank subplot and 6,000 reward points】

"Awesome! So cool!"

Instantly seeing the Black God Suit, Zheng Zha and Li Xiaoyi both lit up, rushing forward to circle Wu Xian, their faces filled with envy, wishing they could swap places with him.

"Don’t envy me. Work hard to earn reward points and subplots—you’ll wear this armor someday too."

A flash of light, and the Black God Suit vanished back into storage, revealing Wu Xian’s original form. He smiled at them. "Alright, proceed with the exchanges as planned. For healing items and food, don’t worry—I’ll handle those."

"If you want anything else, figure it out yourselves—but don’t spend all your reward points. Otherwise, you might enter the next horror film empty-handed and have no chance to repair yourself…"

More than ten minutes later, Wu Xian finished giving all his instructions, added, "Meet in my room tomorrow for the next round of training," then ignored their stiff expressions and returned to his room, ready to sleep early and hope for luck—perhaps encountering a new big shot in the mysterious space.

"Three more days until I meet that man—the strongest strategist in the Lunhui world…"

Lying in bed, Wu Xian pulled the blanket over himself. Before falling fully asleep, he whispered softly: "I hope your performance won’t be as pathetic as in the original story—if it is, I’ll be deeply disappointed…"
