It was amusing...
Seeing a seemingly calm and collected person lost their wits in fright.
At this point, two options laid before me:
Kill her outright, or mentally break her mind.
What would that accomplish?
Killing her... just another mess.
Breaking her mind... Looking at [Reject Route], it would only bring up problems.
None of those options will be good in the long-run of things.
However... There is another path.
The path of the chaotic neutral.
I calmly offered, "If you're here for the G-Virus sample, I'll give you it. But in exchange... I want the phone number of the phone currently on your person, at this moment." Ada blinked in surprise, "Why do you want that? There's a nuke already moving towards us."
I merely held out a glass purple vial, "That jar above us is merely something I obtained on a whim. Are you saying you don't want this sample?" She looked at me weird... before relenting, "Fine... The digits are..."
She listlessly rattled off the her (possible burner) phone number...
And I merely handed the vial back to her, "Pleasure doing business with you."
Heading back outside, I paused as I saw the [Quest] that hasn't activated yet...
[Quest]
Rocket Delivery: Deliver the rocket launcher to Leon on the train!
Time Limit: 4 hours
Reward: Timeline continues as normal, [Uncommon Loot Box], [Common Loot Box] recipe, 10 Shop Points
Failure: Timeline change, [Common Loot Box] recipe, 500 Shop Points
Grinning, I yelled as it got on the cycle, dumping by backpack in the sidecar, "So long, sweet heart!"
As I drove off, starting [Quest: Rocket Delivery], something popped up.
Query: Why did you request her burner phone number?
That's an easy one... With that new [Skill] that I unlocked, [Reject Route]... I can do my own kind of 'harvesting'.
Besides, if I do this correctly and obtain a Nuke, I can then give it to someone else so they can do what they want.
Third Person POV:
The clerk drove off, leaving behind a frightened Ada Wong who quickly evacuated the premise. She muttered as she watched him leave, "He's a Monster... No... Devil..."
John quickly weaved through the zombies, managing to get on the train tracks and driving down it.
As he did, he noticed a fleshy monstrosity chasing after him, or more exactly... the train.
He muttered as he sped up, "That's one ugly mother-"
BOOM!
Quickly maneuvering himself to driving around the train, he quickly saw Claire and Leon with a young blonde girl. He yelled, getting their attention, "Did I leave you two for 9 months for something?" Claire yelled excitedly as she ran over, "John!" Leon held out his hand, "Come on aboard, seller!" However, John merely handed Leon the duffel, telling him, "Special delivery. We got a monster following the train." Leon got serious, unzipping the bag to see the Rocket Launcher and ammo.
Giving a two-fingered salute, John zoomed on ahead as Leon quickly armed himself to deal with the monster.
John exited the tunnels letting out a breath as he muttered, "Survived..." Hearing explosions occurring behind him, he merely uncapped a water bottle and drank it.
MC's POV:
I smirked as I saw the rewards flood in.
Rocket Delivery: Deliver the rocket launcher to Leon on the train!
Time Limit: 4 hours
Reward: Timeline continues as normal, [Uncommon Loot Box], [Common Loot Box] recipe, 10 Shop Points

Cost: 3 Shop Points (each)
None of them catch my interest, that much... Because they're all fairly useless. [Magic Research Lab] will be something I'll buy when I get to that next world, but I'm going to be sticking around to gather more 'products' for my [Shop]. My [Spells] are not even at level 50, let alone barely at level 10, at that fact, meaning [Mana Lines] will be a far investment.
And I want to make things automated, because no way I can sell at shops while away from it.
Leon, Claire, and the girl finally caught up with me as I tossed them each a water bottle, "Congrats, we survived Raccoon City." Claire nodded, gulping it down, "Good Morning, by the way. So, you left just to add a sidecar to it?" "It's for you guys, actually." Leon spoke in slight confusion, "What...?" "The girl is riding in the sidecar."
Seeing a truck in the distance, we moved out of the way just in time to see the driver flip the bird to Leon.
After a moment, Leon asked, "You sure you can manage yourself on your own?" "I'm sure. Besides, there's a gas-station version of those shops about one mile from here." Claire let out a breath, "Good, because I need a shower."
We all chuckled before heading there.
Upon arrival...
Parking the cycle at the gas pump, I tossed Leon the keys as we walked in, migrating behind the counter as I asked with a bit of humor, "So, what are you buying?"
After handing Leon a map and the trio actually buying the items with cash, they left.
Getting excited, I quickly flipped the sign to 'closed' and locked up before looking at the [Skill] Ada 'helped' me unlock.
Reject Route: Reset a world of your choosing to how it was before, allow you to redo (or discover) the [Quests].
Requirement: Must have at least completed the 'main mission' given to you on your first 'play through'.
Note: [Shop] changes carry over. You will still start at the same spot on each 'run'. Also, 'main mission' will only reward [Shop Points].
To make it simple, this [Skill] allows me to revert any of the worlds I unlocked to how it was before, gathering different items on each 'run'. And since it can be used in its own form of 'grinding', I can improve the [Shop] on each run.
The only downside is that it reverts to the time when I first entered the world. In layman's terms, it'll be like replaying any [Legend of Zelda] game, but you end up unlocking more stuff on each run.
Now for the other rewards.
Loot-boxes:
COMMON: 0
UNCOMMON: 1
RARE: 0
EPIC: 0
LEGENDARY: 0
NOTE: Any objects obtained this way cannot be added to [Shop] unless it was naturally generated.
Selection the option to open the [Uncommon Loot Box], I quickly got a message.
[Uncommon Loot Box] contains:
Loot Seed
Extraction Chamber
25 Plastic
Soil from Eden
Loot Seed: A seed that can grow into a box that contains a random item. Takes 7 days to grow fully for harvest. Harvesting gives 1-2 Loot Seed(s).
Note: Any item received this way cannot be naturally added to [Shop] and is considered not naturally generated.
Extraction Chamber: A chamber the side of a cold storage. After inputting anything, will extract anything from what's inside it, allowing you to keep and/or toss whatever you get out of it. Time it takes to extract, and varies from subject to subject.
Soil from Eden: A bag of soil from said legendary garden, whatever is planted with it will eventually fully grow and always be ripe, never rotting, needing to be watered, or becoming invested. Each bag can only be used with one plant and one pot, and can only be used once. Unearthing or digging up the plant, OR using a different plant after harvesting, will result in soil losing its effects.
... I'm so going to abuse the [Rapid Pot], [Soil from Eden], and [Loot Seed]. But that's for later.
For now... Time to stock up even more.
"[Reject Route]..."
2nd run through...
I quickly got to work, using [Cleanse] and [Repair] whenever I could. The main mission [The old cliche: Zombies!] was up again, and I already had plans to be made.
Question to System: Are any 'time' related actions in [Shop] affected by [Reject Route]?
No.
Good.
Loading a gun, a waited patiently for my test subjects, my curiosity got the best of me.
Question to System: Where are my other [Items] located?
In the 'back storage' section of [Shop].
Interesting...
Loading the shotgun once more, I got into character... And eyed the newest addition to my [Shop]. It mainly looked like a cold-storage for meat, but lacking the hooks and frost. There were vents, though, giving it the illusion of a cold storage or other products.
The door slammed open.
"Don't shoot, idiot!"
"Get down, idiots!"
"Help me block it!"
"Why are you still in town?"
"It's my first day on the job. Next thing I know, this!"
As the duo collapsed to catch their breath, I quickly aimed at Leon, shooting him in the head, quickly following with Claire.
Blood, bone, and gray-matter went everywhere.
I muttered to myself as I began dragging Leon's body into the [Extraction Chamber], "Now, I'm 'body farming'... Good grief."
Placing him down and sealing his body in, a window appeared.
Begin extraction?
Extraction Time: 2 hours
Y/(N)
(Y)/N
The chamber began filling up with a unknown solution that looked like water... before Leon's body began floating in it. Quickly, a 'cloud' of something began to exit the vents and move over him.
Closing the slide, I merely made my way to Claire's corpse, dragging it to the back of the shop, muttering, "After this is that girl that shot me..."
Later using [Cleanse] to clean up the blood stains, I also proceeded to head towards the phone, calling Ada.
"Who is this?"
"I have the G-Virus for you to pick up."
"...!"
"My name doesn't matter, but I'm here to help you in your task. I have some demands, though."
"And what are they?"
"You know that gas-station near those train-tunnels? The one that's 3 miles out of Raccoon City and about to be opened and stocked up? I want you to leave an unarmed Nuke there, with it on something that could help me move it around."
"For what reason do you want that?"
"Let's just say Raccoon City will be renamed Roadkill City. I'm leaving the sample in the freezer of this store. Here's the address."
...
"Got it?"
"I do."
"Come alone, and you'll get it. You better keep your end of the bargain up."
3 hours later...
Third Person POV:
Ada walked into the store, cautiously scanning it as she walked around. Coming towards the freezer, she glanced briefly at the corpse of what appeared to be a shop clerk, slumped against the wall near the entrance to the storage. The body was male, and had a hole in the side of his head.
Shooting it twice for good measure, she looked inside to see the vial containing the G-Virus. Going inside to retrieve it, she reported on her burner phone, "I got the virus. Are you at the spot with the nuke?" She listened in on the other end, "Excellent. Leave the premise... but set up surveillance of the grounds. I want the ID of whoever managed to contact my burner phone, of all things. I want it online by tomorrow." Hanging up, she turned around... only to see the clerk perfectly fine, with a dark grin on his face.
"Tit for tat."
The door slammed shut as she pounded on the door, the room filling with an unknown liquid that forced her body to relax while her mind still wanted to fight it... to live.
MC's POV:
Frowning as I shut the slider, I viewed over what the [Extraction Chamber] got me from the bodies.
From Leon S. Kennedy's Body:
-Leon S. Kennedy's Blood
-Police Uniform
-Type A blood
-[Firearm Proficiency] Skill
-[Close Quarters Combat] Skill
From Claire Redfield's Body:
-Claire Redfield's Blood
-[Firearm Proficiency] Skill
-Type O blood
"Put in storage until I have a better idea."
Everything after that was a race against time.
I used the motorcycle to quickly get out of the doomed city, arriving at the location and seeing the bomb in all it's glory.
Command: Add the nuclear bomb and truck to [Shop], but don't physically make them vanish.
[Nuclear Bomb added to items]
[Flatbed Truck added to items]
Grinning, I quickly end inside and got to work.
100 [Shop Points] claimed later...
From 'Ada Wong's body:
-'Ada Wong's Blood
-Silk
-Type AB blood
-[Firearm Proficiency] Skill
-[Close Quarters Combat] Skill
[Silk], eh...?
I'll see what I can do with that later.
Command: Pull up [Auction House].
This function was presented to me after Leon's body was completely looted. As for what it does... It's sort of a 'reverse' of what you expect it to be.
It's a bidding war for those [Gamers] that have cash, in a sense.
I auction off items that I don't need, and in return, I get [Shop Points].
Now, time to see the conversion rate...
[Auction House]
Today's Cash to Shop Point conversion rate:
...
1 billion currency = 1 Shop Point
Swing and a miss... Well, time to target the 'villains' and/or mechanics of the [Gamers].
Slotting in a [Nuclear Bomb] into the slot, I instantly began getting to work.
Opening up [Upgrades], I searched what caught my eye while I was waiting for Claire's body to be looted.
Search: Location: Void
Results:
Void Dimension: Disconnected between realities, the perfect 'pit-stop' of solitary confinement. You can immediately go to a [World] with no cost, when leaving the Void Dimension.
Warning: [Shop] will not gain exp while in [Void Dimension], regardless of visitors.
Requirements: 1 [World] 'completed' at least twice.
Cost: 0 Shop Points
Buying [Void Dimension] and instantly using it, I began to spruce things up.
Since 'time' still exists, I quickly used [Repair] on everything that I could repair.
I even decided to 'break' the game slightly by purposely destroying my shelves over and over, eventually maxing out [Repair].
Repair (MAX): Fix up your shop, and make it more easy on the eyes. Go to an area, and provided that you have the right materials, repair it.
Caution: When using [Repair], time will be taken up when doing action. While using [Repair], you cannot do anything else until action is over.
Cool-down: 5 minutes after you're done.
Usable Materials: Metal, Wood, Concrete, Glass, Plastic
MAX Effect: All time is shortened to 5 minutes.
Managing to use [Repair] on the floor, I began to note that it lacked color.
But I can't do anything about it.
Although it seems like I'm being a coward... I'm actually preparing myself.
With the next world seeming to always have a 'Mary Sue' coming out of its plot at every given moment, and the 'main character' being a literal creature that could kill me with moments, it was most appropriate to max everything out.
And no 'tutorial' will save me.
Speaking of which...
[Auction Status]
Item: Nuclear Bomb
Highest Bid: 1.6 trillion
Yeah, it's all coming together... but it's super weak compared to what I was hoping for.
This auction is like playing with the stock market: it's a gamble every second.
With the current result, I would at least be getting 1,600 [Shop Points].
While it may seem like a lot, there are always those upgrades that need to be upgraded.
It's kind of like buying a house to move into: buying is the easy part, it's the remodeling and actual moving that's the hard part.
Using my on-hand [Shop Points], I quickly bought [Expansion Pack], only for nothing to physically happen aside from extra doors appearing everywhere.
Frowning, I went to one of them, to see something pop up.
What would you like to make this expansion?
Private Lab - 100 Shop Points
Forge - 1250 Shop Points
Quarry - 2000
Garden - [LOCKED]
Pet Shop - [LOCKED]
Magic Research Lab - [LOCKED]
Just as I feared...
[Expansion Pack] merely allows one to add more rooms, but you still need to purchase what you want to make it.
I now have 174 [Shop Points]...
Buying [Private Lab] and [Rapid Pot], I entered to see a clean empty room with white squares decorating the walls and floor, with the ceiling seeming to have no limit. It's always sunny, though, so that's a plus.
I first placed the [Rapid Pot] down, before filling it up with [Soil from Eden]. Planting a single [Loot Seed], a screen popped up showing the status of the plant.
[Rapid Pot - Loot Seed]
Time until harvest: 168 hours
Speed:
(x1)
x1.5
x2
x5
x10
Oh hell yeah, this is an exploit.
Setting the speed to 10, meaning it'll take about 17 hours, I left it alone as I checked in on the auction.
Turns out that I ended up getting 2,000 [Shop Points].
That brings my total to 2071.
Purchasing [Overclocking Dilation], I found a different kind of setting.
Overclocking Dilation Manuel: (UPDATED)
While in any area of the [Shop], all of those present will have their ages 'paused' and have their physical health and conditions halted, meaning while they can't die, they can't heal as well.
Also, instead of influencing the rate of time in comparison to the outside and inside of the [Shop], it merely speeds up the 'time events', such as cool-downs, animal growth, and much more.
It changes up my plans... but I can work with it.
This gives me 871 [Shop Points] to work with...
"I'll table them for now. But for the moment... [Overclocking Dilation]."
A different screen showed up.
Temporal Dilation of [Private Lab]
Current event speed: x1
Max (shorten cool down/speed up events): x4
Min (extend cool down/slow down events): x.25
It's a bit confusing... but I think I got it.
Say I have an timed event or cool-down that's approximately 60 minutes long.
If I 'Max' it to 'x4', then it will be cut down to 15 minutes.
When 'Min' to 'x.25', then it would extend to 240 minutes long.
Let's see... Using the 17 hours, that becomes 1020 minutes.
1020 divide by 4 equals...255 minutes.
255 divide by 60, to convert to hours, means that if I 'Max' it to 'x4', 4 hours and 15 minutes, roughly speaking.
Temporal Dilation of [Private Lab]
Current event speed: x4
Checking in on the [Rapid Pot] I was happy that I was correct.
But I now need to automate it... And it won't be easy, with how things are going.
The only feasible automation is using magic, and I'm not even close to figuring it out.
And here's the problem: [Repair] maxed out its level at 25. That' just half-way towards [Mana Lines].
Not only that... but everything seems 'OP'... makes me wonder if, so far, I was merely having the 'tutorial program' segment of thing.
If this is the [Tutorial], I'm still going to keep things as they are now until I move to the next world.
That's the thing most [Gamers] overlook and not think about... extending and abusing the [Tutorial]. I mean, when still under the 'training' period, the exp is rather easy to form, yet slow to get. At least, when dealing any skill aside from monster slaying.
So I'm going to max out everything I possibly could.
PING!
[Shop Perk: Infinetory] has updated!
Infinetory: (UPDATE) Infinite inventory for [Common] items in the store. However, you must still restock them physically by gathering them from the back storage.
That's a shame... but this just proves that not only the [Game] I'm playing is trying to patch itself, but that I'm in a tutorial program.
Ugh...
Well... let's see what else I could do.
4 hours of manually restocking shelves later...
Alright, the [Loot Seed] is about to be finished growing... You know, it sort of looks like a [Minecraft Chest], but with some plant-like growth with it.
DING!
Looks like it's done.
Opening the 'chest' up, I blinked in surprise... before becoming eager and asking out loud, "System! Is this what I think it is?"
Indeed it is.
[Xenomorph Queen Egg]
Upon hatching and embedding itself within a living human host, it hatches to become a Queen Xenomorph.
It also has a slight surprise in it.
I really got lucky with this one.
However... what can I use it for in terms of long-term?
Hm...
"System. What will occur if I make the Queen Xenomorph my [Familiar]?
[Familiar]
A creature that's now your loyal pet. Like any other pet, you must care for them.
In this case, a Xenomorph, no matter the kind, has a heavy meat-focused diet, but doesn't require much feeding. However, depending on the host of the embryo, the strength and speeds may vary from result to result.
Luckily for you, a Queen Xenomorph has no feeding requirements. Reproducing, however... that's another story.
Interesting...
Maybe I can use it as a pack of hunters, after I manage figuring out what kind of prey to supply them with...
Now, as for the last Reward, I put it off long enough.
[Common Loot Box] recipe
ERROR.
Cannot learn unless you have unlocked the skill [Crafting].
Drat... and here I hoped it would still be easy.
[Skills] left to learn.

Firearm Proficiency - Requires you to fire, and hit, your target(s) with 5 different guns (2/5)
That last one... Now that I think about it, I merely used a shotgun and pistol the last time I did it...
Well, time to grind once more...
"[Reject Route]."
3rd run...
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Frowning, I muttered as I shot Claire in the arms and legs, "Magnum is off the list, but... I'm missing the alive 'Leon'... oh well." I dragged a limp yet alive Claire towards the [Extraction Chamber].
Tossing in Leon's body as well, I began to clean up before driving off.
Later...
I mused as I sat in the gas station, "Leon is dead, the world is doomed, and everything is going to hell."
PING!
"Oh, sweet! The [Loot Seed] is done growing!"

4th run...
PEW-PEW!
THUD! THUD!
I muttered, "Next time, getting a trolley or shopping cart..." After dumping the bodies in storage, I went to the basement door.
What would you like to make this expansion?
Generic Abandoned Basement - 0 Shop Points
Forge - 1250 Shop Points
Quarry - 2000
Garden - [LOCKED]
Pet Shop - [LOCKED]
Magic Research Lab - [LOCKED]
Taking the cheapest option. I dragged the still asleep bodies and placed them leaning against the wall the room nearest to the exterance, before leaving the [Queen Xenomorph Egg] in the middle of them and leaving... and ignored how the place seemed to to stretch forever.
But not before sending a slight bond into the egg.
Familiar established!
Queen Xenomorph will now perceive you as it's 'Master' or 'King'. Also, any Xenomorphs created by it (and proxy) will serve you.
[Pet Shop Expansion] bought!
The [Pet Shop] allows you sell pets to other people as companions!
It's good (yet weird) to be me, at the moment.
But... With my loyal Xenomorph army soon to appear, [Pet Shop] now seems like a waste of space...
I wonder what the 'surprise' is, though...
Shrugging it off, I went to the [Private Lab] to collect once more from the [Loot Seed].
Diamond Plant: Takes the carbon from the carbon dioxide and uses it to grow a diamond! The more carbon it absorbs, it bigger the diamond gets!
Diamond's Max Size: Baseball Sphere.
Note: Must be planted in gravel, and be in a carbon dioxide-rich area.
Not seeds, though...
Oh, speaking of unlocks...
Command: Close [Shop] when it reaches level 2. Then, plunge us into the void the moment I'm back in the [Shop].
Command Successful.
Good.
Heading back to the [Backup Generator]... I scrapped it.
I won't be using it for a while, meaning that it won't do me any good.
Plus... magic and all that.
Now let's see... I'll use an automatic, this time.
5th run...
BA-BA-BA-BA-BA!
Mowing down the zombies outside, I yawned as I waited for Leon and Claire.
Question to System: Does a rocket launcher count as a gun?
Yes.
... Better stick close to the original script.
Command: Summon [Motorcycle], then proceed to shut down all but the 'gas-station' [Shop] extensions.
Complying.
Going back in briefly to fire a rocket launcher at a group of zombies, I quickly abandoned it before riding out of here.
Skill Unlocked!
Firearm Proficiency (MAX): Boom, headshot! Or... 'groin shot'? Be accurate, and be precise!
Accuracy: Leonard L. Church (Red vs. Blue) can hit better than you.
That's... a burn if I heard of it.
Would you like to cram all of your current [Firearm Proficiency] skills into yourself?
Yes.
And... pain.
Pain that, strangely, was merely a headache. Like where you get a brain-freeze.
Firearm Proficiency (MAX): Boom, headshot! Or... 'groin shot'? Be accurate, and be precise!
Accuracy: Almost aimbot.
That's more like it.
Quickly dropping the guns, I hopped onto my motorcycle as the duo arrived.
Leon demanded, "Wait!" I merely spoke, revving the engine, "The store has MREs, guns, ammo, and water. Stock up on what you need, and leave behind a tip." Turning to them and giving a two-finger salute, I greeted, "I'm John. John Doe. Good luck, strangers."
Driving off quickly, I'm pretty sure I shifting things a bit, but not by a whole lot.

Grinning as I read the information, I slowly frowned as I saw a truck parked outside of the [Shop].
Seeing the truck driver, I sighed, shooting the driver with the [Sleep Til Doom], or the [STD] gun, already going through commands.
Command: Absorb truck and truck's cargo into [Storage].
Looking through [Upgrades] as I dragged the driver into the basement, and ignoring the face-hugger over Leon's body.
Magical Labyrinth Vents: All areas of [Shop] are connected to a series of vents. When an intruder enters through a vent, they will instantly get lost and unable to find their way back.

Buying that, and hello part of my security system.
Now, time for the longest, yet possibly best, part of my [Game]...
Crafting items.
A/N: Scared enough, already?
After all... for the 'Gacha' systems, how do you think some of the prizes are obtained?
Now, I hope you guys are ready for the next chapter to be dedicated to [Crafting], because while it may seem boring... Keep in mind that other [Gamers] typically don't question how their 'Gacha' prizes are created, thinking they just spawned out of nowhere with magic.
If you'd like, please list some of the most OP and, in hindsight, difficult things for this MC to get.
And for those of you who demand a chapter early... Just know that, currently, I try to complete the two chapters after before posing the story's next chapter.
(i.e. Posting this chapter, when Chapter 4 and 5 are both completed, posing chapter 4 when 5 and 6 are complete, etc.)
Speaking of 'chapters', in the previous one, I forgot to add 'millions' to 196 million square miles. However, it was still to emphasize how much of an 'immunity' and 'protection' the MC has. Seriously... It's like comparing a square inch to a square mile.
With that out of the way, in the next chapter... the MC finally truly breaks away from the norm.
