Chapter 83 Gan Tian, the Confident Wise Man
Soon, thanks to the information provided by O'Connor, the Indian team of veterans successfully arrived in Hamunaptra.
Based on the movie's plot, they dug up all the important props from the scenes at the foot of the statues of Apollo and Anubis.
First, there was a box containing the Book of the Dead and a jar containing Anna Sui's internal organs.
The box was inscribed with the words: "Whoever opens this box will be cursed if Imhotep is awakened."
Imhotep's coffin and the Book of the Sun were also found by the Indian team without much effort.
In the movie, the main characters outwit and outfight their enemies. But the Indian team doesn't care about that and heads straight for their target, taking down an American expedition along the way and rescuing the NPC Benny.
Benny is a master of memorable moments.
When he encountered the newly resurrected Imhotep, he took out the Eighteen Gods pendant hanging around his neck and said, "Please, Bodhisattva, protect me."
Saving him even earned Gan Tian a C-level side quest.
At this moment, the Indian team members gathered in Hamnata.
Imhotep's pipes and the cursed black box were neatly arranged on the ground.
Gan Tian held a scripture made of pure gold in his hand.
His eyes gleamed with ecstasy: "A story-driven item! And one that can revive my teammates! I have to bring this scripture back no matter what!"
Upon hearing his words, the psychic Yukina asked, "So, should we avoid team battles?"
"Run away? Why run away?"
A cold glint, like Chu Xuan's, flashed in Gan Tian's eyes.
"Without this scripture, we would have to consider our own safety. But now it's different. As long as we can avoid being wiped out, we can be resurrected by the other team members after we return."
"This is the greatest help the Supreme God has given us. It has given us the courage to face powerful enemies!"
Gan Tian seemed to possess the spirit of a Japanese anime protagonist, radiating an immense aura.
He then began to analyze the situation.
"First of all, although the gap between us and the other two teams is large, it won't exceed a certain limit. Otherwise, the main god wouldn't have arranged for us to participate in a team battle in the first place."
(Note: The assumption that both sides in a team battle are of equal strength is a setting that was written but never followed.)
Gan Tian firmly believed in this premise.
He confidently analyzed: "Our Indian team's highest enhancement level is A-level, so the enemy's enhancement level is most likely not higher than S-level. Otherwise, the difference in combat power would be at least 10 times, which would be difficult to close no matter how much we try to take advantage of the situation."
"Based on the principle of being lenient with the enemy, let's assume that the East American team's highest exchange rate is AA, which means they have about three times our strength."
"Is it only available for double A-level exchanges?" Xue Nai asked somewhat uncertainly.
Gan Tian confidently flashed his two large front teeth: "This is already an overestimation. How easy is it to obtain a double A-level side quest? It's more likely that the strongest player on the East American team possesses two separate A-level enhancements."
"In that case, compared to a complete AA-level exchange, its strength isn't much higher than ours."
"As for the Central Continent Team, the possibility of them having an AA-level exchange is very high. There's only one possibility that they could produce an AA-level exchange so quickly after their annihilation: the breeding team." Gan Tian became more and more confident as he spoke, his head shining brightly.
"As expected of Captain Gan Tian, who possesses legendary wisdom! After your analysis, I feel like we've already won!" Toguro's enhanced version of Imani chuckled, rubbing the muscles on his head.
"Hahaha, no need for such mushy praise. You know, a wise man like me dislikes the praise of ordinary people the most; it doesn't make me seem any smarter." Gan Tian waved his hand.
"I know, but I just couldn't help myself," Imani chuckled.
"Sigh~ I really can't do anything with you. When we get back, I'll enhance your fighting spirit. Combined with your Toguro brother's bloodline, you can unleash hundreds of times your power instantly. With this combination, even if you encounter an A-rank bloodline holder, there's nothing to be afraid of," Gan Tian said.
In the early days of the God Realm, gene locks were not highly valued, and the strength of a reincarnator was mainly measured by their exchange level.
As an old-fashioned team from the past, the Indian team follows the laws of their ancestors.
The short-tempered cyborg Yoriff couldn't take it anymore and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Alright, alright. Can you tell me what we should do now? Should we play against East America, or take out Imhotep first?"
"Kill Imhotep? How could you even think of that?"
"Isn't this our main god's mission?"
"You're so wrong. As the first ones to come into contact with Imhotep, how could we bear to kill such a powerful ally? He's an incredibly strong being who can summon sandstorms, divide rivers and seas, and is immortal."
"Moreover, he is known for his good temper. As long as we use the resurrection of Anna Sui as bait, we can lure him into fighting other teams. He's practically one of our team members."
"...Okay, I understand. Shall we revive him now?"
"Before the resurrection, we need to make some preparations to deal with the threat from the East American team."
Gan Tian's classic tactic when a weak team faces a strong team: hiding.
He ordered his team to hide, while he himself remained alone outside. He then grabbed a few American explorers and went to open the box containing Anna Sui's internal organs.

A chilling feeling permeated the underground tomb; an invisible curse was taking effect at that moment.
"Whoever opens this box will be cursed if Imhotep is awakened."
The next step is to awaken Imhotep. This requires Evelyn, the female protagonist, to do it.
Under mind control, Evelyn picked up the Book of the Dead and chanted the incantation, "Aba aba~~".
Click~~
The coffin lid containing Imhotep trembled.
Immediately afterwards, a body burned to a crisp, rose abruptly from the coffin lid.
"roar!!"
"Great Imhotep! I am your faithful priest 3000 years from now! I resurrected you!" Gantian's words were automatically translated into ancient Egyptian by the main god, successfully establishing a connection with Imhotep.
"My loyal priest! I will reward you with the most precious thing in the world!"
……
At the same time, a shield of light suddenly appeared in the vast desert.
Inside the light shield, the East American team descended.
The first to stand up was naturally the beloved brother-in-law of the Infinite World—Zhao Zhuikong.
At this point, his genetic lock was only at level 2. But this was not his true strength.
As beings created from the genes of fourth-tier powerhouses, the Zhao family is completely different from other reincarnators.
Normally, reincarnated individuals try every means to increase their gene lock level. But Zhao Zhuikong tries his best to suppress his gene lock level.
Forcibly suppressing oneself to the second tier does not indicate weakness; on the contrary, it demonstrates inner strength.
Note: In the original work, after Zheng Zha completed the captain certification, it was clear that there were a total of 4 reincarnators of the third rank or above in the Main God Space at that time.
Positive, Negative, and God S-Brother occupy three spots.
The last spot went to the clone Zhao Zhuikong, who, like Fuzha, was a fourth-order individual, not a third-order one.
This also corresponds to his supernatural state—being bullied by Reinhardt, unable to suppress his genetic lock to advance, causing him to lose his mind, fall into inner demons, and become a god.
Furthermore, based on Zhao Zhuikong's strength and Fuzha's strength when he killed Reinhardt, it can be inferred that Reinhardt of the Demon Team was also very strong.
