"Aside from heavy weaponry, the next best thing would be infinite-ammo weapons.

I didn't quite understand the need for those before, because if you successfully complete a 'Main God Mission,' you barely expend that much ammunition, and bullets are quite cheap anyway.

It would be better to invest in enhancing one's own attributes or exchanging for other weapons than redeeming expensive infinite-ammo gear..." "However, if it's for seeking out subplots, then you absolutely must expend massive amounts of ammunition in horror movies.

Everyone has a limited carrying capacity for ammo, and they also need to carry other auxiliary items.

Under such circumstances, the value of infinite ammunition truly shines.

Following heavy weapons and infinite-ammo gear, next come each person's unique, specialized weapons—that choice is entirely up to the individual.

In short, this battle against the Demon Reincarnation Squad has revealed that our strength is indeed inferior to theirs; that's something we must admit.

That’s why I must enter the Mummy world to test if my hypothesis is correct.

Furthermore, in future horror movie worlds, I must desperately search for all kinds of subplots.

In a single sentence...

I never want to see my comrades die in front of me again! I must become stronger, no matter what!" Luo Li watched as Zheng Zha once again fell silent, staring down at the computer in his hands.

After a moment of thought, she asked curiously, "What exactly are you planning to do by entering the Mummy world? I keep hearing you mention trying something, but you never actually say what it is.

Is toying with people like this fun?" Zheng Zha paused, then burst out laughing because Luo Li looked utterly adorable in that manner.

He couldn't resist leaning in and kissing her cheek. "Of course...

I'm going to find the Scorpion King's treasure! Do you remember the story from The Mummy Returns? Whoever defeats the Scorpion King gets control of his army.

According to what the clone said, in the first Mummy film, anyone who could obtain the Scorpion King's treasure simultaneously would receive one A-rank subplot credit and fifteen thousand reward points.

I want to see what happens if I return to the horror movie world.

Since it's an actual world, the Scorpion King must exist there too.

If I could obtain the Scorpion King's treasure and army without going through the 'Main God,' would I still receive subplot credits and reward points? That’s the thing I need to attempt!" Even if he couldn't gain extra subplot credits or reward points, he was required to enter the Mummy world for three months anyway.

So, rather than wasting that time, he might as well utilize it productively by searching for the Scorpion King's treasure.

If he succeeds, it's luck; if he fails, it’s fate.

With that mindset, he would strive to fight fiercely in the horror movie world...

Zheng Zha was about to say more when he turned and saw Luo Li curled up asleep beside him, clutching a pillow.

The sight of the little girl's sweet, sleeping face was so innocent and flawless.

And even for the sake of that flawlessness, he had to keep growing stronger...

He had a total of 8,500 reward points.

Entering the Mummy world for ninety days required 4,500 reward points, along with the consumption of one B-rank subplot credit, two C-rank, and two D-rank subplot credits.

He exchanged the two D-rank subplot credits for two legendary magic amulets; their defensive capabilities were more than a little superior to high-tech shields.

In total, this only cost 1,000 reward points.

The key advantage of these legendary magic items is that they consume subplot credits, costing very few reward points.

Afterward, Zheng Zha redeemed a dimensional bag using one C-rank subplot credit.

It consumed only subplot credits, no reward points, and served no other function, but it could store up to thirty cubic meters of non-living matter, and when folded, it could be carried close to his body.

Of the remaining 3,000 reward points, after long consideration, Zheng Zha spent 2,700 of them to redeem a compact machine gun with infinite ammunition.

It was a 25mm caliber weapon, boasting a range of 3,000 meters and a firing rate of 3,500 rounds per minute.

Though called 'compact,' this machine gun was typically an aircraft-mounted heavy weapon.

When Zheng Zha lifted the weapon, it was nearly half his height, from the grip to the muzzle.

An ordinary person couldn't even lift it safely, let alone handle the massive recoil it was designed for.

Of course, with Zheng Zha’s physical conditioning, he paid no mind to that recoil force.

In addition to the newly redeemed items, there was a Green Goblin Glider that the Main God had repaired and recharged, costing over 100 reward points; a Zaku Lightning Axe picked up from Cheng Xiao’s corpse; a micro-submachine gun and a large supply of spirit-type bullets; an Air Cannon; the Book of the Dead; several high-explosive fragmentation bombs; and some minor auxiliary supplies, along with about ten cubic meters of gold.

In the end, he was left with only a few dozen reward points. "Good! No matter what...

I must obtain the Scripture of Resurrection!" The next day, Zheng Zha did not wake Luo Li but quietly contacted the "Main God" alone.

After paying 4,500 reward points and one D-rank subplot credit, he instantly slipped into a state between sleep and wakefulness.

It wasn't due to any cruelty or annoyance with Luo Li being troublesome; it was because after experiencing the Resident Evil 2 horror movie, he could no longer bear the thought of losing someone important to him.

If Luo Li hadn't comforted his spirit, he might have become like the clone immediately after Resident Evil 2 ended, completely plunging into the abyss of madness and darkness...

Therefore, he didn't want to and couldn't let Luo Li face any risk.

After all, no matter how much time passed in the horror movie world, for those in the "Main God" space, it would only be an instant.

Thus, Luo Li wouldn't feel any loneliness...

Some things must be faced alone by a man—like fate and adversity...

When Zheng Zha came to his senses, he was already standing at the entrance of a hotel.

This inn was deeply familiar; it was the same one the male protagonist, O'Connell, had brought them to during their last visit to the Mummy world.

It was smaller but exquisite, yet this time he was the only one who had come.

His comrades were already...

Zheng Zha shook his head, burying those thoughts deep within his heart, then strode toward the Museum of Cairo.

The city of Cairo appeared completely restored.

The damage caused by Imhotep seemed to have vanished entirely.

The pedestrians looked no different from normal people.

It was uncertain whether Imhotep’s death caused his magic to dissipate automatically, thus restoring everyone to normal as well.

Zheng Zha walked silently through the streets of Cairo.

This time, he had entered the horror movie world using his own reward points.

Therefore, there were no inherent dangers, such as the "Main God" forcibly altering the plot or other teams attacking and hunting him.

Yet, for some reason, he felt profoundly out of sync with those around him—not in terms of clothing or race.

It was a difference in state of mind.

Having become accustomed to slaughter and combat, stepping into an environment of peace, and specifically an environment of peace where he was completely alone, instantly left him feeling awkward and unsure of what to do.

The importance of comrades wasn't just reflected in team combat; more significantly...

it was the mutual trust, the reliance on one another.

As long as his comrades were near, he could calm down regardless of the surrounding circumstances.

That was the true meaning of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with allies! Zheng Zha walked only a short distance before arriving at the Cairo Museum.

The layout here was incredibly familiar to him.

During the battle against the Indo-American team last time, he had even unlocked his Genetic Lock to frantically memorize the terrain, especially the escape routes—he remembered every path clearer than anyone else.

Of course, this time he wasn't being pursued by anyone.

In this world, unless it was an organized military force, there was truly no one he feared.

So, naturally, he approached the museum leisurely from the main street.

The first person he saw was the museum curator loudly speaking with several desert merchants.

Those desert merchants seemed to be emphatically discussing some fragments of artifacts, while the curator was crouched on the ground, intently examining these items.

He then selected a few relatively intact relics, spoke a few words, and pulled some British pounds from his pocket.

The desert merchants happily gathered the artifact shards from the ground and turned to exit the museum.

Only then did the museum curator look up.

He immediately spotted Zheng Zha smiling at him outside the museum.

The old man was startled at first, then rushed over excitedly.

He grabbed Zheng Zha's hand, exclaiming, "Zheng Zha! The Book of the Dead and the Book of Thoth are with you, right? Hahaha, I've finally caught you! Hurry and show me the books; those things are priceless treasures!" Zheng Zha had expected the curator to be happy about their reunion, so he had already adopted a Western-style embracing posture.

But who knew the curator had come as a debt collector? He immediately broke into a wry smile, and the curator also laughed heartily.

He pulled Zheng Zha toward the museum entrance, saying as they walked, "The Pharaoh's people thank you, and your comrades...

Wait, where are your comrades?" Zheng Zha's expression turned serious.

He said earnestly, "Help me.

I need to go back to Hamunaptra.

I left the Book of Thoth buried there...

and I need to obtain the Scorpion King's treasure!"
