Chapter 38: Wu Xian: Tired. Destroy It All. (Please Follow! Please Collect!)

【Ding!】

【Main quest completed. All Lunhuizhe have returned... All members received one B-rank side quest storyline and 5,000 reward points.】

……

Amid the shift between black and white, Wu Xian heard the Master God’s notification as he materialized in the Master God Hall, bathed in flames—he immediately shouted at the glowing orb above:

“Master God! Heal everyone! Deduct the reward points from me!”

Shhh-shhh-shhh—

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

As Chu Xuan had predicted, just as the countdown ended, the majority of the Stromboli’s hull was destroyed, eliminating all the Aliens hidden within—ultimately completing the main quest.

Yet despite this, the final explosion still reached the members of the Central State Team, with Wu Xian closest to the epicenter.

But due to the Black God Suit, his injuries were the lightest of all—if the Master God’s healing had been any slower, he might have healed himself.

Next were Zheng Zhe, Mu Gang, and Li Xiaoyi—the three “veterans” who had already survived one horror film. Their vibranium battle armor held up well; aside from minor internal injuries and a mere Level 1.5 burn, the rest was negligible.

Then came the newcomers, Chu Xuan and Zero. Though they’d donned the ship’s emergency protective suits in the final minutes, their defense was nowhere near vibranium armor’s level—now floating in midair were several charred human shapes: them.

Fortunately, the damage wasn’t fatal. As long as they still had breath, the Master God could revive them—and for Wu Xian now, this amount of reward points was nothing.

Finally, Zhan Lan. Externally, she showed no visible wounds, but the thick green hue of her healing beam revealed the immense toll of repeatedly unlocking Gene Locks—just like when Wu Xian first returned to the Master God Space. Just the healing cost would likely exceed 1,000 points.

About a minute later, Wu Xian’s healing was complete. He stored his slightly charred Black God Suit into his storage space, revealing the nanotech combat suit beneath.

He plopped down onto the soft sofa in the hall and let out a long sigh. Only then did he lazily tally up the rewards from this horror film.

—Master God, list my earnings.

A cold, mechanical voice echoed in Wu Xian’s mind, and a semi-transparent screen appeared before his eyes.

【Completed horror film world: ‘Alien 1,’ received 1,000 reward points.】

【Completed main quest: killed Alien, received one B-rank side quest storyline, 5,000 reward points.】

【Completed side quest: killed Alien, received one C-rank side quest storyline, 1,500 reward points.】

【Killed 36 Warrior Aliens, received 18,000 reward points.】

【Killed 10 Drone Aliens, received 3,000 reward points.】

【Killed 4 Queen Guards, received 3,200 reward points.】

【Killed 59 Facehuggers, received 590 reward points.】

【Killed 1 Alien Queen, received one D-rank side quest storyline, 1,000 reward points.】

【Killed Reverse Alien, received one B-rank side quest storyline, 5,000 reward points.】

【Central State Team full healing: incomplete, not yet counted.】

【Circumambulator Wu Xian: total rewards from this horror film: two B-rank side quest storylines, one C-rank side quest storyline, one D-rank side quest storyline, 38,290 reward points…】

Awesome!!

Such a massive sum—undoubtedly, another day blessed by nature’s bounty.

Wu Xian exhaled contentedly, his lips curling upward like the muzzle of an AK—no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t suppress the grin.

Don’t forget, Wu Xian still hadn’t spent his reward points and side quest storylines from the last film—accumulated, that’s 40,000 reward points and nearly one A-rank side quest storyline, enough to exchange for powerful bloodlines with high starting tiers.

But…

“Master God, what’s the next horror film?”

Recalling the overly generous reward system in ‘Alien 1,’ Wu Xian’s joy dimmed slightly. He used his team leader privileges to ask the Master God for details on the next film.

At the same time, he muttered under his breath: “Not Ju-On team battle, not Ju-On team battle, not Ju-On team…”

【Ding!】

【Next horror film: ‘Ju-On’ world. Team battle mode activated. Central State Team will enter this world three days after the West Sea Team and Yinzhou Team arrive.】

“Heh. Of course it’s Ju-On—and a three-team battle, no less… What can I say? Should I thank the Master God for not dragging in the Celestial and Demon Teams? Heh…”

After confirming the information from the Master God, Wu Xian’s earlier cheer vanished instantly, replaced by a weary, “I’m done. Just destroy it all.”

Wu Xian didn’t understand. Truly.

Zhang Jie was gone. The Central State Team had lost a semi-guide who could perfectly unleash dual A-rank enhancements, rivaling a Fourth-Stage powerhouse. Why, then, had the horror films grown harder, not easier?

He’d just farmed a bit more reward points and side quest storylines—barely anything. Other web novel protagonists did the same. Why didn’t they get such terrible luck…

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

So what does that have to do with me, Wu Xian? Does it mean I’m cursed just because we both share the surname Wu, like some great lord?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

“Sigh… Misfortune…”

He rubbed his cheeks, pulled himself together, and began strategizing how to handle the upcoming Ju-On three-team battle.

Thinking carefully, with the rewards from ‘Alien 1,’ if properly enhanced and paired with targeted gear, Ju-On wasn’t nearly as daunting as it seemed.

First, Gaya. To counter this rule-based ghost, the forums once proposed a reliable wheelchair tactic: carpet-bombing with massive plasma weaponry—easily handling the first five waves.

The most troublesome sixth wave involves internal destruction. But now, nearly every Central State Team member has a bloodline with high HP and defense—self-healing alone will keep them alive. The final seventh wave, the giantization attack, isn’t fearsome either.

The real problem? The newcomers they haven’t even met yet.

In a normal Lunhui mission, Wu Xian wouldn’t care how many newcomers died.

But the Master God’s team battle rules deduct team points and reward points for any member death, regardless of cause.

That’s terrible.

Even in the original novel, Zhao Ying, who entered the Master God Space already unlocked First-Stage Gene Lock and whose main personality was Fourth-Stage, couldn’t resist Gaya’s rule-based attacks without any bloodline enhancements.

In other words, even if the other two teams did nothing, these newcomers were at constant risk of dying—triggering massive point deductions for the Central State Team. This was precisely why Wu Xian dreaded a team battle in the Ju-On world.
