I haven't posted on WeChat Moments for over two years. A while ago, my college roommate had her baby, and after sending her a congratulatory message, I was asked out. It really makes me realize how different we are now. I'm not young anymore, and my family has been pressuring me to get married, but I honestly don't really want to, and I don't feel confident about it.
All I want to do now is make more money. Without a car and a house, what girl would want to be with me? Even if she were, I wouldn't want her to suffer with me. Sigh... I'm really feeling down right now. I used to be so carefree and independent...
That's all for now. It's 2020. I hope the new year will bring a new and different life, and I wish all my book lovers a happy life and a pleasant time!

Chapter 288: All the Newcomers Annihilated
In the Indian team that was rapidly retreating towards Imhotep's Tomb, a beautiful woman with snow-white skin suddenly exclaimed urgently, "Captain, they're catching up!"
The fair-skinned beauty 'Xue Nai' is a mental enhancer and the unlocker of the first-tier gene lock. She possesses the mental skill 'Mind Chains', which can influence and attack the minds of ordinary people, making her an expert in the mental realm.
At the same time, she can also use mental scanning to explore situations in the distance, which is why the Indian team can control Yorif's dialogue with the Central Continent team.
Everyone's expression changed slightly. Some of the team members who didn't have enough reward points and would be eliminated when they returned to the Main God Space were even gloating. "If we're going to die, let's all die together!"
But they dared not show it at the moment; their captain was not someone to be trifled with.
The captain of the Indian team, the handsome monk Shiva Gan, had an extremely gloomy face and roared at his team members: "Speed up and get back to Imhotep's tomb!"
Everyone sighed inwardly. They had participated in team battles before, but this was the first time they had been so disheveled!
Xuenai's expression suddenly changed, and she said with delight, "Captain, only a portion of them caught up. It seems they left the newcomers in the desert oasis to prevent delaying their progress."
Shiva Gandhari's expression also changed, instantly turning into wild joy: "What a great opportunity! Eliminate their newcomers!"
"Yes, Captain." Xue Nai happily agreed, then immediately used a mental skill to subtly attack the minds of ordinary people, targeting the members of the Central Continent Team who remained in the desert oasis...
"Kill one enemy team member, gain 2,000 reward points, and complete one C-level side quest."
"Kill one enemy team member, gain 2,000 reward points, and complete one C-level side quest."
...
"Killing one enemy team member reduces the Indian team's score by one point. The current reward points are -2000. Those with negative reward points will be eliminated when the horror movie ends..."
"One enemy team member has been killed. The Indian team has zero points and has not yet received any reward points. At the end of the horror movie, those with negative reward points will be eliminated..."
"Killing one enemy team member, the Indian team gains one point, currently earning two thousand reward points. When the horror movie ends, anyone with negative reward points will be eliminated..."
"One enemy team member has been killed, giving the Indian team a positive score of two points and a current reward of four thousand points. When the horror movie ends, anyone with negative reward points will be eliminated..."
"One enemy team member has been killed, giving the Indian team a positive score of three points and a current reward of six thousand points. When the horror movie ends, anyone with negative reward points will be eliminated..."
The Indian team went from a negative two points to a positive three points in an instant. Xue Nai killed five rookies from the Central Continent team and gained 10,000 reward points, as well as five C-level side quests.
This was an enormous gain!
The members of the Indian team who didn't have enough reward points were instantly overjoyed. They were able to return to the Main God Space without being wiped out! And they even had a bonus of 6,000 reward points!
Shiva Ganyta, beaming with joy, roared, "Speed up, complete the mission and get out of here!"
"Yes, Captain!"
This time, everyone displayed unparalleled enthusiasm, rushing quickly toward Imhotep's tomb.
...
At the same time.
As Li Ling, Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie, "Fatty," Zhan Lan, Zero Point, Zhao Yingkong, Li Shuaixi, and others left the desert oasis and headed towards Imhotep's Tomb, the rigid voice of the main god simultaneously echoed in their minds.
"One of our team members has been killed. The Central Continent team has one point in their score and currently has two thousand reward points. When the horror movie ends, anyone with negative reward points will be eliminated..."
"One of our team members has been killed, the Central Continent team has zero points, and we have not received any reward points yet. When the horror movie ends, those with negative reward points will be eliminated..."
"One of our team members has been killed, resulting in a negative score for the Central Continent team. Our current reward points are -2000. Those with negative reward points will be eliminated when the horror movie ends..."
"One of our team members has been killed, the Central Continent team's score is -2 points, and the current reward points are -4,000. When the horror movie ends, those with negative reward points will be directly eliminated..."
"One of our team members has been killed, the Central Continent team's score is -3 points, and the current reward points are -6,000. When the horror movie ends, those with negative reward points will be directly eliminated..."
Except for Li Ling, who only frowned slightly, everyone else's expression changed drastically, from a positive two points to a negative three points, or a negative six thousand reward points! If they didn't have enough reward points when the horror movie ended, they would be annihilated by the main god!
It was obvious without even thinking that their five new recruits had been killed! They had barely left the desert oasis when the enemy had already wiped out five of them!
I don't know how they did it.
Aside from Li Ling and Zhang Jie, who hadn't redeemed or upgraded much, everyone else didn't have enough reward points!
Even if Zhao Yingkong kills a member of the Liefang faction and gains 2,000 reward points and a C-level side quest, plus the 1,000 reward points for completing the horror movie, she still won't be able to accumulate 6,000 reward points.
She had already used up all her reward points by exchanging for D, C, and B grade Shining Gene enhancements.
Even Zheng Zha, the team's richest player, couldn't scrape together 6,000 reward points. He had already exchanged for vampire skills, some weapons, and life-saving items, which had consumed quite a bit of his points.
I should have known better than to exchange for those expensive life-saving items... I'm so afraid of dying!
Zheng Zha was filled with remorse.
Everyone's faces were grim. Li Ling raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "If you don't want to die, use every ounce of your strength to speed up your journey to Imhotep's tomb."
"Yes, Captain!"
Everyone readily accepted the order. They understood that if they didn't find and kill the enemy team before the Indian team completed their mission and left the horror movie world, they might be in deep trouble this time!
