Infinite Terror: Sunflower Manual Enhanced by 100x

Chapter 16 Welcome, new member! I am Zhang Jie.

The moment he appeared, he was locked onto by several pairs of eyes.

Apart from Zhan Lan's friendly smile, everyone else's eyes were filled with hostility.

Especially Zheng Zha, whose pupils seemed to hold the power of a lion.

Wang Lu had a feeling that Zheng Zha would say the next thing in the world—"He can be replaced!" And then Li Xiaoyi would say—"That's what a great eunuch should be!"

He was momentarily confused, nodded to the two of them, and said, "Everyone's here. Good, very energetic."

"The mission is about to begin. As the leader of the Central Continent Team, let me say a few words..."

"Hmph!" Zheng Zha snorted coldly.

Wang Lu looked at him with hostility: "Do you have any insights? I remember we've already made up, and Loli will be returned to you after the team battle with the Demons."

Zheng Zha's eyes showed no fear as he straightened his neck: "I will defeat you honorably and take back everything that is rightfully mine! The throne, and Loli!"

"..."

Wang Lu looked at Zhang Jie, thinking that he was the one who had done it.

"Zhang Jie, what did you do to him? Also, it seems you owe me something."

Zhang Jie's eyes were so determined, as if he were about to join the Party. He immediately activated the mental chain and relayed a message to Wang Lu:

"No way! I would never practice the Sunflower Manual! Look at what they've become! Do they look like they'd be affected mentally?"

Wang Lu frowned.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that not only Zheng Zha, but also Li Xiaoyi had a hawk-like, wolf-like demeanor.

Zhang Jie: "See that? Your so-called 'Sunflower Manual' can drastically change a person's personality! That's just an evil technique for possessing people! I would never practice it, even if it meant death!"

"And you haven't even practiced it yourself! I checked your exchanges using my captain's privileges: a B-grade telekinetic floating cannon, an A-grade magic eye, an A-grade demi-plane, and a B-grade Buddhist wheel. There's no 'Sunflower Manual' at all!"

"..."

Wang Lu immediately chuckled.

"This is a good thing! The Main God Space is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. The way they're full of fighting spirit now means they'll definitely live longer."

Zhang Jie scoffed, "Keep your nonsense to yourself. I'd rather die than practice. If you keep pushing me, then let's fight to the death! Anyway, Na'er isn't here today!"

Wang Lu: "..."

Zhang Jie seems to have been provoked.

He said helplessly, "Fine. You don't have to cut it. But in the next round, you must use mental suggestion to plant the subconscious idea in the newcomers that they need to practice the Sunflower Technique, or don't blame me for getting angry."

"...Okay." Zhang Jie agreed, but a vague unease lingered in his heart.

Just then, 20 beams of light fell from the sky, and the main god's notification sounded.

"Enter the beam of light within 30 seconds, target locked, alien begins teleportation..."

……

Everything went black, then everything went white.

Wang Lu didn't open his eyes immediately; he wanted to make sure Lao Jie wasn't squatting on him.

Otherwise, it would be funny if you subconsciously opened your eyes and saw Zhang Jie's eyes instead.

An invisible telekinetic force swept across the surroundings. It discovered that Zhang Jie was still lying on the ground, and it was unclear whether he was pretending to be asleep.

He then opened his eyes and looked around.

There were 11 new characters scattered haphazardly, just like in the original story.

The only difference was that the surrounding environment was extremely open.

It was a very large warehouse, with an area of ​​one or two thousand square meters. Several small shipping containers were placed along the edge.

On the wall, various safety notices were written, reminding Wang Lu that the scene was still a spaceship, only larger.

Looking up, the task was:

"Kill all the aliens within 30 days. Each member of the team will receive 1 reward points, plus one D-level side quest. Mission failure: The entire team will lose 3000 reward points. Completing the mission or the time limit will trigger a return event."

The mission is similar to the original story.

Take another look at the newlyweds on the ground.

The big, burly Russian must be a tyrant.

The unremarkable bespectacled man is, unsurprisingly, Chu Xuan, a man born evil.

The most eye-catching were three energetic young men with brightly colored hair, who were very recognizable.

Just then, Zhang Jie finally stood up. He glanced at Wang Lu, who had gotten up even earlier, and a look of regret appeared on his face.

It seems he really intends to squat down early.

Wang Lu raised his hand and threw a bundle of hemp rope on the ground.

Zhang Jie naturally began to work, using telekinesis to control the rope and tie all the newcomers up tightly.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Zha, Li Xiaoyi, and Zhan Lan also woke up, shaking their heads.

Upon seeing the 11 newcomers, Zhan Lan's face immediately turned pale:

"Sixteen people...that's such a huge increase in difficulty!!"

But Zheng Zha and Li Xiaoyi didn't care at all.

Zheng Zha: "Well done! Calm seas can't produce excellent sailors. Little alien, bring it on!"

"drink!"

"ha!"

Li Xiaoyi threw a punch with perfect timing, colliding with Zheng Zha's fist in mid-air with a loud "Duang." Both men's muscles bulged, as if they were about to bar their teeth.

Upon seeing this, Wang Lu's lips twitched, while Zhang Jie and Zhan Lan slapped their foreheads.

Regardless of whether a genius has gone mad, normal people must continue with their lives.

Zhan Lan took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the analysis task.

She smoothed her hair and said gently, "Judging from our surroundings, we're in a warehouse."

"But what's strange is that the warehouse is unusually large, yet the interior is quite empty. In the original Alien movie, the spaceship's interior was quite cramped. It's unlikely that there would be such a large amount of unused space."

Zhang Jie nodded: "Clearly, the main god changed the size of the spaceship, and it's very likely that he also completely altered the story. This will completely eliminate our advantage of knowing the plot well!"

Zhan Lan chimed in, "Given the Xenomorph's strength in the original story, it shouldn't pose much of a threat to us. But look at our watches—the mission rewards are incredibly generous! Each person gets a D-rank side quest; this is hardly the kind of reward the Xenomorphs would offer!"

"Either the main god has strengthened the aliens, or there's an additional, unpredictable threat!"

Wang Lu pondered for a moment, then said, "The main god usually doesn't increase the difficulty without a reason, like a deus ex machina. Think carefully about the original story; what could pose a threat to us?"

Everyone fell into thought. Just then, an unfamiliar voice joined in.

"I have a few thoughts on this. First, the space environment is a complete disaster for any living organism. If the spacecraft explodes or self-destructs, there is absolutely no chance of survival."

Everyone looked at him and saw a man wearing black-rimmed glasses, whose eyes gleamed with intelligence, but who was otherwise unremarkable, speaking.

"Of course, I'm talking about the scenario where everyone is a normal human being. If you few possess superhuman strength... let's call you humanoid beings for now, perhaps you could survive in the space environment."

Zhang Jie raised an eyebrow: Excellent! The wise man has arrived!

The wise man has arrived! Team Zhongzhou is saved! The wise man has arrived, and QQ can be saved!

After being repeatedly tricked by Wang Lu, Zhang Jie finally realized his limitations.

With his intelligence, he had no way of analyzing Wang Lu's origins or what kind of person he really was.

Therefore, he desired Chu Xuan more than anyone else.

"Welcome, new member! My name is Zhang Jie."
