Chapter Summaries

Zhang Qi established himself as a calm and knowledgeable newcomer by analyzing the Main God’s system and the Alien scenario. As the other newcomers woke and the veterans explained their situation, he began testing the energy within his body using memories from the Shared Space.

• Zhang Qi explained that the Main God’s pop-up appeared to follow the principles of Qimen Dunjia and identified their mission rewards as being managed through their wristwatches.
• Zhang Qi recognized the ship as the Nostromo and outlined the Alien plot, the Xenomorph threat, and the possibility that the mission’s increased difficulty meant stronger or more numerous aliens.
• Zhang Qi reasoned that the five crew members aboard who could serve as hosts placed an initial limit of five Xenomorphs, easing the group’s fears.
• Zheng Zha asked Zhang Qi for his wisdom and accepted him as an ally, after which Zhang Qi stepped aside while the veterans explained the Main God Space to the newcomers.
• Zhang Qi leaned against the wall, focused inward, and tried to guide the energy in his body using memories from the Shared Space.

Zhang Qi helped the newcomers assess the Nostromo and deduced that the Xenomorphs were reproducing, possibly with a Queen aboard. As a Xenomorph sprang from a ventilation duct and attacked Zhan Lan, the group faced an immediate threat.

• Several newcomers rejected Zheng Zha's leadership and left, while Chu Xuan, Zero, Overlord, and Li Shuaixi stayed with the group.
• Zhang Qi outlined the need to learn the Xenomorph count and strength, along with the Nostromo's layout and key locations.
• The group found blood and remains in the corridor, and Zhang Qi determined that three of the six who left had been killed while the other three were likely taken as hosts.
• Zhang Qi reasoned that the Xenomorphs aboard the ship could reproduce, leading Zhan Lan to fear that an Alien Queen was present.
• A Xenomorph burst from a ceiling ventilation duct and swiped at Zhan Lan's neck.

Zhang Qi saved Zhan Lan from a Xenomorph with a powerful punch, fracturing his right hand, and the group fled into the reserve supplies room after learning three more creatures were nearby. Chu Xuan accessed the Nostromo’s surveillance system, where they saw Zheng Zha convulsing on the floor as Zhang Jie, Zero, and Overlord guarded him.

• Zhang Qi stepped in front of Zhan Lan, stopped the Xenomorph’s attack, and struck it hard enough to drive it back, breaking his right hand.
• Zheng Zha charged the Xenomorph while Zhang Jie, Zero, and Overlord fired at it, and Chu Xuan treated Zhang Qi’s injury.
• Zheng Zha returned with Zhang Jie, Zero, and Overlord and warned that three Xenomorphs were pursuing them.
• Zhan Lan supported the injured Zhang Qi as the group fled into the Reserve Supplies Room and sealed the door.
• Zhang Qi outlined plans to contact Zheng Zha’s group and find the ship’s control room, while Chu Xuan accessed the Nostromo’s blueprints and surveillance system.
• Chu Xuan showed the group footage of Zhang Jie, Zero, and Overlord guarding Zheng Zha as he lay convulsing on the floor.

After Zheng Zha unlocked the gene lock and recovered, the group reached the Nostromo’s armory, where Chu Xuan and Zhang Qi began modifying Pulse Rifles to make them more effective against the Xenomorphs. The group had weapons and a plan, but the guns’ increased power would come at the risk of damage and failure.

• Overlord reported that Zheng Zha had torn a Xenomorph’s head off with one punch before collapsing, and Chu Xuan identified the outburst as a gene lock activation.
• Chu Xuan explained the gene lock while the group regrouped and followed his directions through the passageways toward the armory.
• Zhang Qi explained that the standard Pulse Rifles might struggle to penetrate Xenomorph exoskeletons, and Chu Xuan proposed removing their power limits.
• Chu Xuan and Zhang Qi began planning modifications that could multiply each shot’s power while risking severe wear or a barrel rupture.
• Zheng Zha recovered enough to eat ration biscuits, while Zhang Jie, Overlord, and Zero gathered weapons and watched Chu Xuan and Zhang Qi work.

Zhang Qi and Chu Xuan devised a trap that used the Nostromo’s corridors, fire, and modified pulse rifles to kill two Aliens. After the group celebrated the victory, Zhang Qi prepared to lead them to the Alien Queen’s nest.

• Zheng Zha stored the remaining weapons and ammunition in his Storage Ring as the group headed for the laboratory.
• Zhang Qi explained that gaining control of the Nostromo would let them use its systems and layout against the Aliens.
• At the laboratory, Zhang Qi assigned Li Xiaoyi to lure the Aliens into a trap of high-voltage cables, flammable liquid, and blast doors.
• Li Xiaoyi drew two Aliens into the sealed corridor, where the fire disrupted their senses and Zhang Jie, Zero, and Overlord shot them with modified pulse rifles.
• The team received reward points for the kills, and Zhang Qi announced that they would next target the Queen in the nest.

Zheng Zha and the others prepared armor and a makeshift laser weapon before entering the Alien Queen’s nest in Cargo Hold Two. After finding three newcomers implanted with parasites and destroying several Xenomorph Eggs, the floor beneath the group began to collapse.

• Chu Xuan and Zhang Qi fashioned Xenomorph-shell armor for Zheng Zha and helped him make a short-lived laser weapon.
• Zheng Zha gave Zhang Qi the [Storage Ring], and Zhang Qi stored supplies and specially treated wire inside it.
• The group entered Cargo Hold Two and found three missing newcomers suspended in slime; Zheng Zha rescued them and discovered they had been implanted with parasites.
• Zhang Qi threw an incendiary bomb at a cluster of Xenomorph Eggs, destroying them and collecting several charred Facehugger corpses.
• The biological floor shook violently and began collapsing beneath the group.

Zhang Qi, Zheng Zha, Zero, and the others fought the Xenomorph Queen after it trapped them in its nest and brought it down through coordinated attacks. Zhang Qi received a D-rank Side Story and 500 reward points, then awoke in the Main God's white space.

• The Queen collapsed the nest floor and attacked the team, knocking Zheng Zha into a wall with her tail.
• Zhang Qi threw a grenade while Overlord and Zero activated overload mode, and Zero wounded the Queen's hind-leg joint with a precise shot.
• Zheng Zha blocked the Queen's inner jaw, cut it with his laser emitter, and scorched its head before being thrown aside.
• Zhang Qi threw two bottles at the scorched patch, and Zero shot them so their contents ignited on the Queen's head.
• Zero shot through the Queen's weakened exoskeleton and killed it, earning Zhang Qi a D-rank Side Story and 500 reward points.
• Zhang Qi lost consciousness and awoke in the Main God's vast white space.

After the Alien mission, the Main God restored the team and awarded Zhang Qi 2,540 reward points and two D-rank side quests. Zhang Qi explored the Main God's systems and concluded that time was scarce, so he planned to use technology and resources in horror movie worlds to build wealth.

• The Main God restored the team's injuries, and Zhang Jie celebrated their reward points while Zheng Zha took a little girl to rest.
• Overlord and Zero questioned Li Xiaoyi about artificial humans, while Zhang Qi and Chu Xuan studied the Main God sphere.
• Zhang Qi examined his attributes and the exchange categories, then calculated that he had 2,540 reward points and two D-rank side quests.
• Zhang Qi inspected the return options and cultivation exchanges, concluding that the Main God made time a precious resource.
• Zhang Qi decided to use his technological knowledge and borrowed resources in horror movie worlds to generate wealth and earn reward points.

In 2122, Zhang Qi studied Earth’s corporate-driven race to achieve immortality and used a fabricated identity to join Weyland-Yutani Corporation. He began preparing a proposal based on Shocker’s cyborg modification technology, hoping to gain access to the company’s resources.

• Zhang Qi reviewed how Peter Weyland’s discoveries and the Prometheus Project reshaped Earth and propelled Weyland Corporation to power.
• He learned that five super-corporations were competing to achieve immortality through androids, cybernetic hybrids, and digital uploading.
• Zhang Qi gave Watson orders to investigate the world while he went to work at Weyland-Yutani Corporation.
• He accessed the company’s internal network and learned how its merger with Yutani had expanded its biotechnology division and its interest in Xenomorphs.
• Zhang Qi began writing a document based on Shocker’s artificial-organ and cyborg modification technology.

Zhang Qi used Shocker cyborg technology to attract Weyland-Yutani’s attention, then leveraged the corporation’s resources to establish the Augmented Human Project. Having secured control of the company’s posthuman research, he began pursuing private goals of his own.

• Zhang Qi submitted a report on electroactive polymer muscle fibers to Weyland-Yutani, and Charles Weyland ordered an immediate demonstration.
• Zhang Qi demonstrated that his Hercules fibers could bend and break a hydraulic press, then secured a senior research position and full authority over a special project team.
• Over the next two months, Zhang Qi used the team and company resources to develop android artificial muscles and a biological energy carrier, establishing himself as a scientific leader.
• Zhang Qi presented the Cyborg Project to the board, proposing to preserve human brains and give them powerful artificial bodies.
• Charles Weyland made the Augmented Human Project the company’s highest priority, renamed the department, and appointed Zhang Qi its director.
• Zhang Qi reviewed the project’s progress and added private subprojects while preparing to pursue aims beyond Weyland-Yutani’s ambitions.

Zhang Qi’s cyborg project won Weyland-Yutani’s support after its first patients showed extraordinary results, and Watson became a fully modified enhanced human. After Watson demonstrated immense strength and speed, Zhang Qi proposed a live combat test at a site in Antarctica tied to the Weyland family’s past.

• Weyland-Yutani’s directors watched patients recover through Zhang Qi’s cyborg modifications, and Charles Weyland II ordered the project to receive full support.
• Zhang Qi advanced the project to full-body replacement and selected Watson, who received artificial organs, a composite skeleton, and an Arc Reactor.
• Watson demonstrated his combat form by punching through thick alloy, evading automated weapons, and lifting and smashing a ten-ton Ravager power armor.
• Zhang Qi rejected conventional forces as a suitable combat benchmark and marked a location in Antarctica on the holographic map.
• Charles Bishop Weyland II recognized the coordinates as the ruins where Peter Weyland’s expedition had first encountered the Xenomorph.

Zhang Qi used Weyland-Yutani’s expedition to recover Xenomorph Eggs and tested Watson against a powerful mutant Xenomorph, discovering that the [Main God] still awarded points based on Watson’s original strength. After decoding Xenomorph genetics, Zhang Qi proposed mass-producing them, creating a potential endless source of reward points.

• Charles Weyland II restarted the Antarctic Star project while Weyland-Yutani distracted its competitors with a public posthuman technology campaign.
• Weyland-Yutani uncovered the Antarctic ruins, recovered hundreds of Xenomorph Eggs, and transported specimens to a secret Pacific island research base.
• Researchers created mutant Xenomorphs using Earth predators as hosts, and Watson killed the gorilla-hosted Tyrant with a single finishing punch.
• Zhang Qi learned that killing Tyrant earned him 850 reward points and a class D side-story reward, suggesting the [Main God] did not account for enhancements gained inside story worlds.
• Over the next two months, Watson killed mutant Xenomorphs as sparring partners, earning Zhang Qi hundreds of reward points per kill.
• Zhang Qi’s counterparts decoded the Xenomorph genetic sequence, and he proposed a mass-production Xenomorph Legion Project to Weyland-Yutani’s board.

Zhang Qi perfected mass-produced, controllable Soldier Ant Xenomorphs and used Watson to earn reward points by killing them. He then identified four possible locations and targets for side quests, deciding to pursue them all.

• Zhang Qi modified the Xenomorphs with Zoanthrope technology, and a month later fifty controllable Soldier Ants passed testing at a low production cost.
• Charles Weyland II celebrated the Soldier Ants as a weapon that could help him rule the planet.
• Zhang Qi's attempt to earn reward points by killing Soldier Ants with cluster bombs failed, so he sent Watson into the valley to kill them and earn points.
• Zhang Qi identified Ellen Ripley, LV-223, LV-426, and the Antarctic pyramid ruins as potential sources of side quests.
• Zhang Qi decided to pursue all four potential side quests.

Charles Weyland tried to secure control of Zhang Qi and his technologies as Weyland-Yutani grew more powerful, while Zhang Qi prepared a modified Guyver bio-armor to command his Xenomorph legion. At dinner, Charles revealed his plan to kill Zhang Qi and claim his achievements, and aimed a pistol at his head.

• Charles Weyland reassigned trusted security personnel and auditors to monitor Zhang Qi and his projects.
• Zhang Qi ignored the new surveillance and revealed a modified Guyver bio-armor linked to his Xenomorph legion.
• Charles invited Zhang Qi to dinner at his seaside villa and toasted their supposed cooperation.
• Zhang Qi confronted Charles about replacing his staff and learning the projects’ production processes.
• Charles’s armed servants surrounded Zhang Qi, and Charles declared he would kill him and claim his work.
• Charles aimed a pistol at Zhang Qi’s head.

Zhang Qi took control of Weyland-Yutani after killing Charles Weyland II and used leverage and promises of advanced technology to secure the board’s support. Back in the Main God Space, he joined the China Team’s gathering and revealed a case of futuristic weapons, leaving the team stunned.

• Zhang Qi’s Guyver armor blocked Charles Weyland II’s shot, and Zhang Qi killed him after the sonic attack incapacitated his guards.
• Zhang Qi exposed Marcus’s crimes and other directors’ secrets, then secured their loyalty by presenting plans for transformative technologies.
• The Weyland-Yutani board unanimously appointed Zhang Qi chairman and CEO, and his patent announcement drove the company’s stock sharply upward.
• Zhang Qi returned to the Main God Space, where Chu Xuan studied the human-creation function and later criticized the team’s use of reward points to create women.
• Zhang Jie angrily argued with Chu Xuan, while Zheng Zha tried to calm him.
• Zhang Qi brought out a case of advanced weapons at the China Team gathering, and the members stared at them in disbelief.

Zhang Qi returned from the Xenomorph world with advanced weapons and explained that the team could revisit past horror worlds to pursue missed side quests. Zhan Lan’s reasoning led Chu Xuan to suspect Zhang Jie was hiding something, but Zhang Qi stopped him from confronting Zhang Jie and proposed a new venture.

• Zhang Qi opened a case of advanced Xenomorph-world weapons, astonishing Zheng Zha and the others.
• Chu Xuan recognized the weapons and asked whether Zhang Qi had returned to the Xenomorph world; Zhang Qi confirmed it.
• Chu Xuan explained that the Main God allowed teams to revisit horror worlds, and Zhang Qi described using those trips to pursue untriggered side quests and rewards.
• Zhan Lan questioned why the Main God did not reveal future horror-movie plots, prompting Chu Xuan to suspect that Zhang Jie had a hidden problem.
• Zhang Jie distracted the team by celebrating the weapons, while Zhang Qi stopped Chu Xuan from confronting him.
• Zhang Qi called the weapons an appetizer and asked whether the team wanted to join him in a major undertaking.

Zhang Qi prepared Zheng Zha’s team to hunt Xenomorphs by securing weapons and helping Zhan Lan acquire a mental scan, then returned them to the Xenomorph world. They arrived in a futuristic city and discovered that Zhang Qi was the CEO of Weyland Corporation.

• Zhang Jie, Li Xiaoyi, and Zheng Zha agreed that returning to the Xenomorph world to hunt with advanced weapons could earn them reward points at little cost.
• Zhan Lan exchanged for a mental scan with Zhang Qi’s help, then strengthened her psychic power so she could scan farther.
• Watson trained the team to use their weapons and shields, while Zhang Qi exchanged medical supplies and technical materials.
• Zhang Qi sent everyone back to the Xenomorph world for one month, but they arrived in a futuristic city instead of LV-426.
• Zheng Zha and the others saw Zhang Qi appear on a Weyland-Yutani Corporation broadcast and learned he was the company’s CEO.

Zhang Qi revealed how he used Main God resources to become Weyland-Tanggu’s executive president and turn the company into a base for acquiring and producing advanced technology. He outlined a plan to lure Predator ships to Earth, seize them, and send two teams to investigate locations tied to the Xenomorphs and Engineers.

• Zhang Qi led Zheng Zha and the others into Weyland Building, where the staff greeted him as executive president.
• Zhang Qi explained that he had spent nearly two years and substantial reward points building his position using future technology and a legal identity.
• Chu Xuan explained that Weyland-Tanggu’s industrial resources could help the team analyze and mass-produce technology exchanged from the Main God Space.
• Zhang Qi told Chu Xuan that he had acquired Unit G biotechnology and Shocker cyborg modification technology, and offered to arrange a laboratory visit.
• Zhang Qi proposed using a Predator trial transmitter from Antarctic ruins to lure Predator ships to Earth and seize them.
• Zhang Qi assigned Zheng Zha’s team to find the female lead of Xenomorph 1 and travel to LV-426, while Chu Xuan’s team would search LV-223 for the Engineers’ legacy.

Zhang Qi explained how the Engineers and LV-223 connected to humanity’s origins and revealed the team’s mission options. After the China Team agreed to join him and trained at Weyland Corporation, three Predator ships landed in the desert and detected a large Xenomorph swarm.

• Zhang Qi told the team that Weyland Corporation had traced ancient murals to LV-223, where the Prometheus crew encountered an Engineer intent on destroying humanity.
• Chu Xuan deduced that the Engineer was the Space Jockey found beside the Xenomorph eggs, and Zhang Qi confirmed his theory.
• Zhang Qi warned the team about the risks and gave them a day to decide whether to join the mission.
• The China Team accepted Zhang Qi’s plan, trained with Weyland Corporation’s weapons, and prepared for the hunt.
• Three Predator ships landed at the desert transmitter, where their leader’s helmet detected hundreds of Xenomorphs and flagged the trial environment as anomalous.

Zhang Qi and China Team ambushed the Predators in the Gobi Desert, using Xenomorphs, a sniper strike, and coordinated gunfire to overwhelm them. Zhang Qi killed the last Predator elder in single combat, earning a rank C side-story reward and 5,000 reward points.

• Thousands of weaker Xenomorphs ambushed the Predator elder and two younger Predators, who formed a defensive line and fought toward their ship.
• Zhang Qi ordered Zero to destroy the ship's engine, cutting off the Predators' retreat and forcing them under another ship for cover.
• Zheng Zha and China Team opened fire as Zhang Qi's mutant combat Xenomorphs charged the Predators and broke their formation.
