Chapter 262: Decision Paralysis and Dimensional Teleportation (Request Monthly Tickets!)

Humming—

Twenty white beams of light descended from the sky, landing on the floor of the Main God Hall.

Seeing this, the Created, including Luo Li, all looked anxious, their eyes fixed tightly on the figures emerging from the beams, as if merely staring could ensure the return of the Zhongzhou Team unharmed.

Moments later, the beams vanished, and twelve figures stood neatly arranged in the Cycle Hall, appearing no different from before they left.

"Main God, restore all members; deduct reward points from each individual."

Looking up at the distant glowing sphere, Wu Xian shouted out as usual.

No sooner had he spoken than twelve more white beams descended, only to vanish quickly, as if merely brushing over everyone in a perfunctory, token gesture.

Clearly, at least for now, none of the Zhongzhou Team members had suffered serious injuries—they had returned at full health.

Originally, Zhan Lan had suffered minor mental disturbances due to the Phoenix Force, and her Gene Lock was showing signs of approaching the fourth tier; under normal circumstances, the Main God should have treated her.

But don't forget, Wu Xian possessed the Double Full Hand technique; having entered the Fourth Middle Realm, his mastery of this skill had deepened further, allowing him to interfere with both mind and genes.

In short, as long as neither body nor spirit had completely collapsed, he could rapidly heal them—no exaggeration to call him a living Main God healing beam.

In addition, during their final days in The Mummy, Wu Xian began attempting to teach this skill to others, directly implanting memories, and also copied a detailed medical knowledge base so they could quickly grasp the essence of the Red Hand.

Though their proficiency still couldn't match Wu Xian's, ordinary fatal wounds would now rarely cause casualties in the Zhongzhou Team.

"Main God, display all rewards from this horror movie!"

Wu Xian silently thought, and in an instant, a familiar light-screen interface appeared on his retina.

【Completed horror movie world: The Mummy 1, received 1000 base reward points.】

【Completed main quest: Seized the Sun Scripture and the Book of the Dead, helped Imhotep resurrect Anck-su-namun; all members received one C-rank side quest, 3000 reward points.】

【Preemptively triggered and completed main quest of The Mummy 2—slain the Scorpion King; all members received one B-rank side quest, 9000 reward points.】

【Completed hidden side quest: Dimensional Invasion—eliminated two invaders; rewarded two B-rank side quests, 10, 00 reward points… Eliminated the source of dimensional invasion; rewarded Zhongzhou Team members one A-rank side quest, 10, 00 reward points.】

【Team battle ended, net score +11, received 22, 00 reward points.】

【Killed two members of the enemy team's Cycle squad; both had unlocked Gene Locks; rewarded with two B-rank side quests and 14, 00 reward points.】

【Due to this team battle, one Cycle squad was completely wiped out; all Zhongzhou Team members received one C-rank side quest.】

【Cycle member Wu Xian: In this horror movie, received one A-rank side quest, five B-rank side quests, two C-rank side quests, and 69, 00 reward points… Combined with remaining side quests (2C) and reward points (6, 00) from the previous movie, the total is now: one S-rank, one C-rank side quest, and 75, 00 reward points.】

…

"Already got an S-rank side quest this fast? Honestly, finishing a series quest early is just satisfying…"

Looking at the final settlement entry from the Main God, even though Wu Xian had already calculated the result in his mind, a flicker of joy still surfaced in his eyes.

In fact, even counting the extra hidden side quest, Wu Xian's total side quests still wouldn't have reached an S-rank.

But Wu Xian held the key item to resurrect Anck-su-namun, which extended the time limit for completing the main quest—so he simply went to the Amun Oasis, the hiding place of the Scorpion King from The Mummy 2.

Then… nothing else happened. The barrier suppressing supernatural abilities inside the pyramid might trouble others, but for Wu Xian, it was no different than none at all—he easily slew the Scorpion King with the Spear of Judgment, gaining triple the reward points and side quests.

"Pity, the Dragon Emperor's quest seems to have issues; otherwise, I might've squeezed out another A-rank side quest."

Thinking this, Wu Xian shook his head, then began pondering what to exchange his S-rank side quest for.

Right now, though he had many Wu Xian attribute bonuses, the two factors most impacting his combat power were still the Gene Lock and the Kryptonian bloodline.

The former aside, the latter was still in its growth phase; its speed had hit a bottleneck and required prolonged exposure to yellow star energy to fully unlock its potential.

Of course, the Main God's exchange list offered several methods to drastically shorten this time.

For example, the Divine Core of the Sun God, the Plasma Spark Crystal from Ultraman, the Golden Crow bloodline, or even the "Solar Light" god-creation project from the Super God Universe—all could synergize with the Kryptonian bloodline and push Wu Xian's power further.

Oh, and there was the Saiyan gene sample given to him by the clone of Zheng Zha—also a great item, capable of perfectly fusing all bloodlines; initially it might seem unremarkable, but it was undoubtedly promising for the future.

It was just expensive—even the incomplete version required two A-rank side quests, and had to be upgraded step by step, very costly.

"So which one should I pick?"

Thinking this, Wu Xian's face twisted in indecision, then he sighed: "Ugh! Blame the Main God—why can't you be more generous? If you'd given two A-ranks for eliminating the invaders, I wouldn't be suffering from decision paralysis."

Hearing this, all Zhongzhou Team members rolled their eyes, silently thinking their captain was perfect in every way—except his shameless face.

A certain unnamed Grand Lord: Yes yes yes!

"Damn, we hit the jackpot!"

Zheng Zha suddenly burst out laughing, then shouted toward the Main God: "Main God, exchange me two vats of soy milk—one sweet, one salty—I'm going to finish every last drop today!"

Everyone froze, then stared as two beams of light descended, revealing milky-white liquids inside vats the size of rice containers—only then did they realize, and with Cheng Xiao leading, several burst into laughter.

Wu Xian's mouth twitched, then he raised his hand to stop Zheng Zha from drinking, saying: "Drinking soy milk can wait—first, let's do the experiment we discussed. If it succeeds, I'll cover your soy milk for the rest of your life."

…

Two minutes later, all Zhongzhou Team members gathered in Zhan Lan's personal room, eleven pairs of eyes fixed on Wu Xian; everyone's face, except Chu Xuan's, brimmed with anticipation.

Wu Xian said nothing, then summoned the chat group system interface.

As soon as it opened, a flood of chat pop-ups appeared; besides Yun Ziyu, who had been re-added, the avatars were clearly the remaining four members of the Demon Team.

【Zhongzhou Color Emperor: @Demon King, we're back.】

【Demon King: Holy shit! You finally came online—I've been waiting nearly two hours here!】

【Scarlet Emperor Dao Shi: Your renamed nickname is so otaku—Demon King? Why not just call yourself Satan?】

【Demon King: Idiot, Satan's a devil, not a demon… And what's with your stupid name? You exchanged for a vampire mutation bloodline—why the hell is there a 'scarlet' in it?】

【Scarlet Emperor Dao Shi: Dunno (shrugs). The captain named it—he said it suited my vibe. I thought it sounded fine, so I kept it.】

【Zhongzhou Color Emperor: Enough chatter—both of you get ready! @Yokai Sage, Zi… uh, Miss Zi, you too, pay attention.】

【Yokai Sage: Master, rest assured. Also… you were just thinking something very impolite, weren't you?】

【Haha! No way! You must've imagined it!】

Seeing this, Wu Xian inwardly sighed in relief—he'd almost typed "Old Lady Zi." Then he steadied himself and activated the dimensional teleport function in the chat group system—

【Dimensional channel opened. Selecting members: Scarlet Emperor Dao Shi and Demon King. Target locked: Fantasyma Dimension… Teleportation initiating!】
