First, Uchiha Gen checked his total reward points.
Saving the entire mercenary squad rewarded two B-rank side quests and 9000 points.
Killing Ryan, the culprit of Resident Evil, rewarded one C-rank side quest and 1500 points.
Clearing all monsters in the Hive rewarded two C-rank side quests and 2000 points.
Killing 671 zombies and zombie dogs rewarded 67 points.
Killing 32 Lickers rewarded 3200 points.
Successfully surviving Resident Evil rewarded 1000 points.
Since side quests automatically combine from lower to higher ranks at a ratio of three to one, Uchiha Gen's total rewards amounted to one A-rank side quest and 16767 points.
-----------------
“Not bad.”
Seeing these rewards, Uchiha Gen nodded in satisfaction.
While it couldn't compare to those heaven-defying existences who started with several S-ranks, it had reached the average level for a Transmigrator.
However, Uchiha Gen also knew this was due to the benefits of the beginner's welfare.
If he had gone through Resident Evil normally, a third of the current rewards would have been good enough.
Next, he glanced at the option to return to a horror movie world and found that he could go to A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, Final Destination, Resident Evil, or naruto.
The first three were the horror movie worlds Zhang Jie had experienced, Resident Evil was the world Uchiha Gen had just been in, and naruto was the world he came from.
Returning to his original world required one D-rank side quest to activate, and staying there for one day would cost 50 reward points.
Seeing that he could return to the Naruto World, a sense of joy surfaced in Uchiha Gen's heart.
This meant he could go back and change the tragedy of the Extinction Night, and also find ways to obtain the many resources for strengthening himself within the Naruto World.
However, he was not yet qualified or necessarily in a position to return.
Soon, Uchiha Gen shifted his attention and began to examine his physical attributes.
Intelligence: 533
Spirit: 1031
Cell Vitality: 421
Nerve Reaction Speed: 1023
Muscle Tissue Strength: 1011
Immunity Strength: 412
Each stat was very high, especially Spirit, Nerve Reaction Speed, and Muscle Tissue Strength, which exceeded ordinary humans by more than tenfold.
This was quite normal; although Uchiha Gen was weak, unable to even activate his Sharingan, he was indeed an Uchiha.
Moreover, he was an Uchiha who had diligently cultivated for ten years and possessed Chunin-level combat power.
Such superhuman physical attributes, coupled with the augmentation of Chakra, gave him the combat power to sweep through the Hive.
“Does Intelligence represent brain computing power? Am I really that high?”
However, the only thing that puzzled Uchiha Gen was the Intelligence stat; he didn't usually feel that his calculation abilities were particularly strong.
Could it be entirely focused on combat wisdom?
With this doubt, Uchiha Gen began to browse the Main God's exchange list.
In just one night, Uchiha Gen had reviewed all the exchange options provided by the Main God.
“It's indeed just the initial version of the Main God; there are very few bloodline exchange types, only dozens of B and C ranks combined, and not many even with D and A ranks included, but other items and weapons are quite abundant.”
After a brief attempt, Uchiha Gen found that the method of exchanging ingredients to give artificial humans a boost was not feasible.
Exchanging high-level secret manuals and cultivation techniques also required the original price; there was no discount of only one-tenth the price for exchanging manuals, and although Telekinesis floating cannons were found, they were very expensive.
The highly cost-effective exchanges that Zhang Heng had used, such as the Elf Wind-element Archer and Guanmai Great King, were still available.
Indeed, if the initial Main God allowed such tricky operations for creating artificial humans and cheap cultivation techniques could be directly exchanged, then Chu Xuan would have done so long ago.
If even he, a person of extremely high intelligence, didn't exploit these loopholes, it could only mean that the current version didn't allow it.
“My exchange is simple: improve my Sharingan and improve my Chakra. Over the past ten years, I've built a very good foundation through self-cultivation. As long as my Chakra improves, my combat power can increase significantly in a short amount of time.”
In one night, Uchiha Gen had also thought out his general exchange direction.
However, there were still many paths to choose from for the specific exchanges.
The first exchange route was to directly exchange for the Sharingan.
Starting from the D-rank Uchiha bloodline, then the DD-rank One-Tomoe Sharingan, C-rank Two-Tomoe, CC-rank Three-Tomoe, B-rank Mangekyo Sharingan, and A-rank Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Since he possessed the Uchiha bloodline, he could directly start exchanging from the One-Tomoe Sharingan.
There were four main difficulties in upgrading the Sharingan: first, awakening it; second, evolving to Mangekyo; third, evolving to Eternal Mangekyo; and fourth, awakening the Rinnegan.
After awakening, as long as one accumulates steadily, they will inevitably reach the Three-Tomoe.
Currently, Uchiha Gen could rapidly boost his Sharingan's visual prowess to Three-Tomoe by using reward points and improving his Yin Release, then exchange for the Mangekyo.
One A-rank side quest would get him the Mangekyo Sharingan, which, after a bit of familiarity, would grant him Kage-level combat power. Paired with the t-virus to unlock the first stage of the Gene Lock, he could be considered a strong individual in the current stage of the Infinite World.
Subsequently, he could also exchange for Senju bloodline from D to A, synthesizing an S-rank Rinnegan.
The second route was to spend one A-rank side quest + 10000 reward points to directly exchange for a blank Ōtsutsuki bloodline.
This would not only fully integrate Uchiha Gen's Uchiha bloodline, granting him the Byakugan dōjutsu.
It would also elevate his cultivation talent to a higher degree, allowing him to better consume and digest the Divine Tree Fruit later, becoming a Six Paths-level powerhouse with Fourth-tier combat power.
The third exchange route was to not exchange for any bloodlines related to the Naruto World.
Instead, he would choose other bloodlines that could complement the Ninja system to enhance his combat power, as things like Senju bloodline, Sharingan, Ōtsutsuki bloodline, Tailed Beast, and Divine Tree Fruit could all be obtained back in the Naruto World.
“First, rule out the second route; that thing is a growth trap.”
Soon, Uchiha Gen made a decision.
A-rank enhancements were powerful, and the Ōtsutsuki bloodline was worth the price, but it required at least ten years of cultivation and growth to realize its full potential.
A reference case was Ōtsutsuki Toneri from the Naruto World; he had an atavistic awakening of a pure bloodline recognized by the true Ōtsutsuki, but he wasn't very strong when he was young, taking over a decade of cultivation to realize his potential.
In the reincarnation space, where immediate combat power was needed, this was a classic growth trap.
A clear example was the captain of the India Team who died at Zheng Zha's hands in the original work, having exchanged for the A-rank Summoning of Orochi.
“The first exchange route is fast to form but has limited potential, while the third route, while ensuring immediate combat power, can maximize the use of reward points and side quests…”
Pondering, Uchiha Gen made his decision.
