Intelligence, the Prelude to Strengthening

"The Main God Space does not contain no-win scenarios."

"If the Great Light Sphere simply wanted to kill the Reincarnators, why would it have bothered to save us in the first place, going through the trouble of stripping us away from our original timelines?"

Fang Xiu's explanation, combined with his calm demeanor, successfully reassured the members of the Shazhou Team; even someone as pessimistic as John let out a sigh of relief.

"That's right. If we have to overthink it, then the enemy is absolutely terrifying beyond measure."

After the false alarm, the white boxer, now the center of attention, began to recount the details he knew, offering them as important points of reference.

--Under the relevant world-view, around the 1990s, the Japanese energy company Tagruato accidentally discovered a mysterious substance on the ocean floor known as "Seabed Nectar," also referred to as: Seabed Dew.

Soon, a large amount of research confirmed that after processing, Seabed Nectar could be absorbed by the human body without any visible side effects; on the contrary, it produced many unimaginable benefits.

For example, accelerated cellular vitality; increased muscle strength;

sharper vision;

and even improved mood.

Consequently, focusing on how to utilize this precious deep-sea resource, Tagruato established a biotechnology subsidiary to develop medical products.

Under this backdrop, they added extremely low doses of "Seabed Nectar" into mass-market consumer goods—the "Slusho" soft drink seen everywhere in the Cloverfield films.

It is worth mentioning that the male lead, Rob, happened to work for this very company.

"The trope is a bit like the Blood Orchid in Anaconda."

John, who had a solid understanding of Hollywood movie tropes, couldn't help but offer a sharp critique, then comforted himself by muttering, "Hahaha, if we don't jump to the conclusion that it's a death trap, there's actually plenty of theoretical support.

Of the other two films in the trilogy, The Cloverfield Paradox was originally titled The God Particle; the producer bought the rights from the original screenwriter specifically to chase trends, then forcibly integrated monster elements into it."

"And 10 Cloverfield Lane, which features an alien spaceship, follows a similar pattern: the producer took an original script called The Cellar, stitched Cloverfield elements into it, and released it to cash in."

A series of behind-the-scenes facts were revealed, and the other Reincarnators regained their confidence upon hearing them.

Only Fang Xiu remained thoughtful.

Regardless of the creative background, once the Shazhou Team grows stronger and the Main God arranges this world again, these settings that elevate the world-view will definitely be rebooted!

Of course, what matters is the present.

As it stands, the Shazhou Team lacks a so-called "wise man," but their ability to collectively analyze movie plots is top-notch.

Fang Xiu was already satisfied with this result; at least John could provide rare intelligence that couldn't be gleaned simply by watching the films.

"The movies didn't describe in detail how Seabed Nectar was formed, and the materials provided during the audition didn't either.

I speculate that it is highly likely a peculiar product of certain substances under immense pressure, and it's not impossible that after Tagruato's mining operations, some Seabed Nectar leaked and settled on the seabed."

His career before arriving in this space destined John to be a talkative person; he didn't suffer from stage fright or introversion. Once he gauged the captain's personality, he looked directly at Fang Xiu and spoke freely:

"There is reason to believe that this substance could be consumed by other deep-sea fish, eventually forming a brand-new closed-loop food chain, which in turn gave birth to a super-giant beast like Clover."

The logic held up.

Unfortunately, the key information Fang Xiu extracted was that Seabed Nectar is well worth exploring!

It is a specialty of this dungeon. Just like in the Hong Kong Ghost World, there are many advanced Taoist techniques that can be acquired.

"Strengthening physical fitness is equivalent to enhancing the power of Yang Release. Since Seabed Nectar can cause marine life to evolve into monsters capable of destroying a city, its potential for development can definitely be described as exaggerated..."

Just when he was sleepy, a pillow appeared.

Fang Xiu, who had just opened up the Double Vision storyline and successfully obtained techniques to steadily improve his Yin Release spiritual power, was just worrying about how to balance Yin and Yang...

One must know that in the Naruto World, the Kekkei Mōra, which stands above "Kekkei Genkai" and "Kekkei Tōta," is formed by the fusion of seven nature transformations: Fire, Wind, Earth, Water, Lightning, Yin, and Yang. In other words, every path must be pushed to its peak.

At the same time.

John's narration was drawing to a close, and he projected several photos of Clover.

"Everyone, look closely. The sac-like organs on both sides of the giant beast's head contract and expand in sync with its breathing. Doesn't this method belong to fish characteristics?

It's just that Clover's gills have mutated and are now able to extract oxygen from the air."

The images changed.

The small fry that Tang Tian previously didn't take seriously, as if he could kill a bunch with a wave of his hand, were magnified.

"There is also a very interesting setting regarding these large insect-like creatures that fall off Clover—they were originally parasites, mutated from sea lice that lived under the scales of fish!

Since the giant beast was born in the deep sea, its skin must be able to withstand immense pressure; the fact that it survived a direct hit from an aerial bomb in the film is enough to prove its durability.

Therefore, these types of parasites must use more effective means to pierce the giant beast's skin to feed on its blood."

"Precisely because of this, once a small human is bitten, a large amount of trypsin is habitually injected into the prey's body, causing blood pressure to rise continuously, leading to blood seeping from the eye sockets and other parts, eventually causing the softer areas to burst."

With that, the narration ceased completely.

Sitting in the main seat, Fang Xiu remained lost in thought. To deal with a monster that seemingly launches purely physical attacks, strengthening Susanoo and utilizing the Wood Release Buddha for a head-on confrontation is one method.

Deepening the development of Sage Arts and strengthening the application of ninjutsu is equally feasible.

After exchanging for Hashirama Cells last time, the newly acquired Water Release chakra must definitely be prioritized this time.

When there is time, he can take another look at Sealing Jutsu.

Should I get some sci-fi-themed offensive items?

I can't sense the Ninja Cat for the time being, so I should probably find a way to add more names to the Summoning Scroll.

"I get it now, no wonder that woman named Marlena in the movie had her abdomen burst open not long after entering the isolation room..."

Tang Tian realized it belatedly and was the first to break the silence once again, then said, "Boss, what should I strengthen this time? I still haven't used the double D-rank items I exchanged for last time."

"..." Fang Xiu.

In truth, he didn't really like giving others advice, but if he had to weigh in on this area, then at this very moment, the person he was most concerned about was the new female lawyer.

Ye Mei had a clear talent.

Her mental power was outstanding! It was just a pity that it wasn't easy for her to follow the traditional path...
