Chapter 32: Only the Brain Retained

"So what if it's a nuclear bomb? Watch us use this Heavenly Ring to take it down."

Looking at the Imperial Ring in Liu Qianhuang's hand, Luo Gandao spoke passionately.

"In that case, even if we come to the world of Resident Evil 2 in the future, we won't have to worry about not being able to evacuate in time and being killed by a nuclear bomb, right?"

Li Xiaoyi pondered for a moment, bit his finger, and then said.

"Hmph, a nuclear bomb, that'll ensure he never returns."

Zheng Zha held the Vascular King, which he had picked up at some unknown time, above his head and said with great pride.

"Croak! It's Chu Xuan! Chu Xuan has possessed Li Xiaoyi!"

Looking at Li Xiaoyi, who possessed the strategic talents of Bo Ya and Shu Qi, Liu Qianhuang exclaimed inwardly.

He observed that the other party possessed wisdom no less than Chu Xuan's, and his strategies far surpassed Xiao Honglu's. Was this considered a compliment?

If he wasn't certain that the Li Xiaoyi in front of him was the real person, he would have seriously doubted which of his uncles or great-uncles had crossed the river of time and possessed him.

Having been through the ordeal of the Vascular King, the members of the Central Continent Team are now used to it.

The Vortex King from the previous C-level side quest was able to tear apart an aircraft carrier, so is it really that unbelievable that the Sky Ring from the B-level side quest could withstand a nuclear bomb?

"By the way, Senior Qianhuang, can you withstand a nuclear bomb?"

Zhao Yingkong asked curiously.

"If it's that nuclear bomb, it might cause some trouble."

If it were a nuclear bomb from his own real world, it wouldn't be too much of a problem; he could escape the core kill zone.

However, this is the Z-series worldview, which is different from real-world nuclear bombs. Z-series nuclear bombs are blessed by divine will and can easily kill a level 4 initial powerhouse. Only a level 4 mid-stage powerhouse can withstand them, greatly increasing their lethality.

Damn it, fate is still chasing me.

As for why they wanted to exchange for the Heavenly Ring, that's a question for Zhan Lan.

By the time the original story reached its final chapter, Zhan Lan had advanced to the mid-stage of the fourth rank. However, compared to other reincarnators of the same level, she was merely a mid-stage administrative worker and did not possess the same formidable strength as the others.

This isn't modesty; after all, what normal fourth-tier character could let a small stone pierce their body and then bleed to death?

"Here's a Celestial Ring; I hope it helps you withstand the God-Slaying Stone."

Liu Qianhuang tossed the Imperial Ring to Zhan Lan and thought to himself.

As for devising an exchange method to enhance Zhan Lan's physical fitness, the other party herself couldn't do it, so no matter how she tried to exchange it, it wouldn't work.

Is the opponent lacking enhancement? No, the opponent lacks a romantic partner. As long as Zhan Lan gets into a romantic mindset, she can easily improve her strength.

In the final battle, if the opponent starts with a combination of mental scan, mind link, and real illusion, this smooth combo can completely sweep the battlefield and kick all the reincarnators below the mid-stage of the fourth rank to death as if they were just sitting on the side of the road.

And what happened? Zhan Lan herself was killed by small stones lying on the roadside for a day. It seems better to just keep her brain, then make it into a "brain in a vat" and carry it in your pocket as equipment.

It's nothing really. Zhan Lan probably kicks up pebbles from the roadside quite often when she walks.

It's about even, Zhan Lan usually gets solo kills on Xiao Shizi.

"God, do you have any evolution stones from the ends of the earth in the food section? Also, could you please inquire about the bark mutation lineage and the one-time use compound number five?"

Liu Qianhuang asked the main god curiously.

"[Evolution Stones, found at the ends of the earth, are minerals containing high-purity evolutionary genetic power. They can rapidly enhance the strength of low-level evolvers or transform ordinary people into evolvers. Exchange requires one C-rank side quest and 1500 reward points.]"

[Bark mutation lineage, a lower lineage within the plant family, known for its robust endurance. It possesses certain plant characteristics, with cells exhibiting specific plant features, acquiring cell wall properties, hardening of the skin, enhanced physical defense, and chloroplast characteristics, enabling it to perform photosynthesis to a certain extent. In areas with ample water and sunlight, its stamina can slowly recover.]

[Temporary Compound No. 5, produced by The Boys, grants the user a random superpower upon injection, lasting approximately 24 hours.]

Note: The abilities gained are not entirely random, but rather highly reflect the user's deepest desires or personality traits. Regardless of the ability gained, the user's body will possess superhuman strength, endurance, speed, and other basic attributes (equivalent to the third stage of the gene lock).

Side effects: Severe migraines, muscle spasms, nausea, and projectile vomiting may occur immediately after injection. This compound can cause brain cancer in users. Data suggests that the drug can be fatal after 3 to 5 injections. It may induce psychological regression, causing users to re-enact past traumatic behavioral patterns.

Redemption requires 500 reward points.

"God, exchange tree bark mutated bloodline, one temporary compound No. 5, and one evolution stone for Zhan Lan."

Liu Qianhuang said.

"Wife, come out and see God!"

Watching Zhan Lan fly into the sky, Zhang Jie called out to Na'er.

If the mages in D&D weren't so ridiculously Z-ified, he would have exchanged the Magic Network Contact Physique for Zhan Lan.

Contrary to popular belief, the Z-type magic network system is not weak. The reason it's considered useless isn't because Z-fication weakens its strength, but because the spells are broken down into too many small parts, requiring too many reward points and side quests to complete.

The Z-series magic network system can still be as powerful as the original, but it can't withstand the fact that every piece of skin on the toe has to be exchanged.

Everyone else has already finished their work, and you're still just adding foot skin to your work? Isn't that just creating unnecessary trouble?

Although the mention of the Magic Network immediately brings to mind Xiao Honglu, and while Xiao Honglu is indeed a scoundrel, there's a limit to how much one should criticize him. After the first horror movie, he didn't redeem anything for himself, and even helped Zhang Heng discover the Wind Elf Archer bloodline—a truly amazing wheelchair. In the second movie, he still didn't redeem anything, instead crafting high-tech shields for his teammates, saving him enough resources. By the third movie's interlude, he even understood the resource black hole nature of the Magic Network system, only redeeming himself after being persuaded by Zheng Zha.

In the early stages, Xiao Honglu was even more useful than Chu Xuan because Chu Xuan didn't understand how to exchange for enhancements at all. He kept saying that bloodline and equipment weren't important, as long as you had high lockpicking skills, that would be enough. As a result, Cheng Xiao only had a Nandou Water Bird Fist and a broken glove. Without a strong bloodline or equipment, he was tricked to death. Later, in the final battle, byd Zheng Zha was playing the vampire count game because the other party was just playing around. Or perhaps Chu Xuan didn't know anything. Chu Xuan just wanted to embezzle the side quests in the team.

After all, if Xiao Honglu had come first, Zheng Zha wouldn't have used the self-conflicting combination of vampire and internal energy; he would most likely have switched to a different, more powerful wheelchair-based strategy.

A new concept god has emerged: Zheng Zha, who has Xiao Honglu as his teammate in the first match.
