In the Main God Space, Uchiha Gen and the other two vanished from the square for one second.

Then, they reappeared.

Although the three of them had spent two days in the Resident Evil World.

They had dealt with the mastermind behind the World Ending Plan, purged the Umbrella Corporation's upper ranks of the apocalypse faction, and purchased plenty of weapons and supplies they needed, but to everyone else in the Main God Space, they had only been gone for a second.

It was still the morning of the ninth day of the ten-day rest period after the Resident Evil horror movie ended.

"Main God, fully restore all of us. Deduct the reward points from me."

At that moment, Uchiha Gen spoke lavishly.

Three beams of light descended from above, enveloping the three of them.

Zhan Lan's restoration finished first. A few green motes drifted about, repairing the damage caused by opening the Gene Lock. It was over in thirty seconds.

Uchiha Gen was next. Because he had opened the Gene Lock in the midst of intense battle and overtaxed his body by forcing his cells to extract Chakra, the Main God restored him for a full minute.

Zheng Zha was in the worst shape. Although his battle with Wesker had brought him to the threshold of the Second-Stage Gene Lock, he had been battered half to death. Even with the Troll Bloodline, two days of rest had not fully healed him. His restoration took a full ten minutes.

"We're rich, we're rich! We made a killing this time!"

"Killing Wesker and assisting in stopping Resident Evil gave us one Rank B Side-Story Mission and five thousand points. The Main Mission gave us two Rank C Side-Story Missions and four thousand points. Ending the Resident Evil movie series gave us one Rank B Side-Story Mission and five thousand points."

"I got two Rank B Side-Story Missions, two Rank C Side-Story Missions, and fourteen thousand reward points."

"Now we can eat and drink like kings, throwing away a bowl after every bite."

The moment his restoration ended and he descended from the air, Zheng Zha exclaimed in delight.

Although he had been in a sorry state while fighting Wesker and the many bio-monsters, seeing such enormous rewards now made Zheng Zha feel incredibly handsome.

"Zhan Lan, A-Gen, what about you?"

"How much did you get?"

After checking his own rewards, Zheng Zha looked eagerly toward his two teammates.

"The Main Mission and the reward for ending the Resident Evil movie series were fixed. Besides that, I received a Side Mission reward for assisting in stopping Resident Evil: one Rank C Side-Story Mission and two thousand points. So, my total is two Rank B Side-Story Missions and eleven thousand reward points."

Zhan Lan adjusted her glasses and smiled.

When assigning rewards, the Main God generally took team contribution into account. Since Zhan Lan had barely fought any monsters and had only served as the team's eyes, her rewards were slightly lower.

"One Rank A Side-Story Mission, two Rank C Side-Story Missions, and eighteen thousand reward points. We spent some reward points on full-body restoration earlier, so I have around seventeen thousand five hundred left now."

Uchiha Gen had already checked his rewards, so he answered directly with a smile.

"Why aren't there any rewards for killing monsters? If they counted the Lickers and Tyrants we killed, we could have gotten quite a few more reward points."

Zheng Zha said greedily.

After all, they had killed over two hundred Lickers and Tyrants at the Hive entrance. At one hundred points apiece, that would have been more than twenty thousand points.

"The Main God bundled the rewards for killing those bio-monsters into the mission for stopping Resident Evil."

"In fact, the Main God was already taking good care of us by not directly using that Side Mission for stopping Resident Evil to overwrite the Main Mission reward for sending Alice out of Raccoon City. All things considered, the rewards were actually about the same."

Uchiha Gen was not dissatisfied. He calmly accepted the result.

After comparing their rewards, the three sat down on the sofa specially placed in the Main God Space square.

They exchanged some delicious food and drinks from the Main God, then began chatting as they ate.

Uchiha Gen ate a large shrimp, then said, "Based on what we experienced during this mission, some of my previous guesses have been confirmed. I can share the results with you now."

After another mission, Uchiha Gen continued demonstrating his strength as a Script-Level Intelligent Person, explaining more about the Main God Space to his two teammates.

Facing Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan's curious gazes, Uchiha Gen did not keep them in suspense. "First, the matter of obtaining rewards. The Main God should determine the reward amount based on the monsters, the mission difficulty, and the gap between the mission's difficulty and our strength."

"When we first entered the Main God Space, we were all newcomers. The Main God judged that we were weak, so simply rescuing the mercenary squad and going through a few trivial setbacks earned our entire team a Super Rank A reward."

"But this time, because we had been enhanced and our strength had improved tremendously, the Main God's evaluation of us had risen significantly. That was why we had to complete a mission many times harder than before just to receive another Super Rank A reward for the team."

Zheng Zha nodded in agreement, taking huge bites out of a pork knuckle.

Zhan Lan seemed deep in thought as she placed a peeled large shrimp into Uchiha Gen's bowl.

At that moment, Uchiha Gen added, "Based on the rewards we received from these two missions, even for the same mission, the greater the danger we face and the greater our team contribution, the higher the rewards we receive."

Then Uchiha Gen fell silent and ate for a while, allowing his two teammates time to digest his words before continuing. "Second, I've gained some insights into the relationship between the Gene Lock and enhancements."

"Over the past two days, I read a great deal of Umbrella Corporation research material and discovered that beyond the First-Stage Gene Lock we have already opened, the Gene Lock has more advanced states."

"The Second-Stage Gene Lock can control ninety percent of the body's tissues apart from the brain. The Third-Stage Gene Lock can control brain tissue, increasing processing power and intelligence. Although Dr. Isaacs, whom I fought, had not opened the Third-Stage Gene Lock, he achieved a similar effect with the help of a Bio-chip."

"With powerful mental processing, he could predict my attacks and achieve an effect close to precognition. In that state, if both sides had the same physical capabilities, someone with the Third-Stage Gene Lock could suppress the other completely."

"Judging from how the First, Second, and Third-Stage Gene Locks progressively deepen control over the body's potential, the Fourth-Stage Gene Lock should allow one to control the body's genes. At that point, it might be possible to actively evolve one's own genes."

"And when the genes have been optimized to perfection, the body's internal potential will have been fully developed. Following that progression, if there is a Fifth-Stage Gene Lock, perhaps it will allow us to control energy outside the body and use it for ourselves."
