First Shot

The only member of Tian Xing Team 4 with an S-Class Game Talent was Bai Zhou, who didn't look like she had much combat ability.

Her Talent was mental in nature. She could forcibly interfere with NPCs' minds and control them.

At first glance, this Talent didn't seem as overpowered as other S-Class Talents, but it was very useful in practice.

In some games focused mainly on strategy, it could even directly change the nature of the game, having an effect equivalent to cheating.

Because Bai Zhou was on the team, Tian Xing Team 4 could freely recruit more combat-oriented players and maximize their fighting strength.

Bai Zhou: "The system has imposed severe restrictions. It won't work."

When Bai Zhou had spoken with Leon and Claire earlier, she had used her Talent in an attempt to control them, but failed.

Most Game Talents had some visible manifestation when used. When Bai Zhou used hers, pale red striped marks appeared on her forehead.

The reason she wanted to use her Talent to control Leon and Claire was simple: if she brought them to Grizzly City and completed the mission, everyone on their team would receive 1,500 Points.

But afterward, if either Leon or Claire died, Team 1 would lose 3,000 Points. They could lose as many as 6,000 Points in total.

Although the two protagonists were terrifyingly powerful in the original Resident Evil series and could kill all kinds of Mutant Zombies, Bai Zhou didn't believe they were really that strong in a Death Game indistinguishable from the real world.

Since she couldn't harm them in any way, she could only try to use her Talent to interfere with and control them, making them hide somewhere safe or leave Grizzly City outright.

Unfortunately, she failed. She couldn't use force to change
