Chapter 86 - Not that he was short on money.

An ordinary M16 cost 5,000 points.

Five. Thousand. Points.

He could buy a pile of M16s and melt them down into scrap for fun.

Not that he was short on money.

Flipping through the firearm section, he finally found something interesting on page 58—items from Resident Evil.

[Common Zombie Virus]: 900,000 points[Zombie Dog Virus]: 1,200,000 points[Licker Virus]: 1,800,000 points…

"I didn't expect the points mall to directly sell the corresponding viruses. That's… disturbingly specific."

In Xu Dan's memory, the Resident Evil world started with basic zombies; only later—through virus evolution—did monsters like Lickers appear.

But the system mall offered the viruses themselves. Clearly, once bought and used on a target, that target would directly transform into the corresponding monster.

Absolutely not.

Why would he ever unleash something like that on Earth?

That was the very definition of courting death.

He immediately skipped over the zombie-virus series and continued searching the mall.

Eventually, he found information on the Red Queen.

[Red Queen]: 80,000,000 points[Red Queen Framework]: 8,000,000 points…

The second option was cheaper by a zero.

But Xu Dan already knew exactly what he wanted.

Children choose.Rich adults say, "I'll take both."

Eighty-eight million points—not even a hundred million. Acceptable.

Being wealthy came with its perks.

His current balance exceeded 200 million points, so spending less than half was no burden at all.

Most of the cost came from the Red Queen herself—eighty million. If she weren't such a unique existence, he would never spend this many points on an AI program. He'd just build one himself.

But there was a crucial reason to purchase her: the Red Queen controlled all of Umbrella Corporation's research results and experimental data.

Nothing else mattered—those materials were priceless.

A treasure trove for biological science.

Even if they couldn't help with virtual game helmet development, they would absolutely accelerate progress at the Antarctic Biotechnology Branch.

Ding-dong!

"Purchase successful!"

With the system's notification, the Red Queen manifested temporarily inside his computer.

Without any input from Xu Dan, the screen flickered—and a cute, childlike holographic avatar appeared.

Sure enough, without the ominous music and horror filters, the Red Queen was just an adorable little girl.

"Core permissions have been rewritten…"She looked at Xu Dan through the camera. "Primary identification authority: Xu Dan."

"..."

"Hello, Master. The Red Queen is at your service."

Xu Dan nodded in satisfaction. Her abilities were well-known—even managing the entire Antarctic Company alone would pose no issue.

But having her squeezed into his office PC was a bit… awkward.

"Red Queen, perform a full diagnostic on all company departments."

"Yes, Master."

Vrrrmmmm—

The moment she responded, the computer tower roared—its fan blasting like a jet engine, accompanied by the faint smell of burning.

Xu Dan quickly said, "Transfer the process to the backup 09 server!"

Instantly, the office computer quieted, narrowly avoiding death by overwork.

Two minutes later, her scan concluded.

"No abnormalities detected, Master."

Xu Dan exhaled. Of course—he personally built the company's systems. If there had been a flaw, that would've been surprising.

"Red Queen, here is your framework. Configure its basic settings. I'm assigning it to the Hardware Technology Development Department as an assistant."

For now, the framework would serve the new department as an intelligent support program—boosting development efficiency tremendously.

As for the true Red Queen—she was a "person" in her own right. He planned to take her to the Antarctic Biotechnology Branch.

Once he decided, he acted.

He drove out of the Antarctic Game Building and headed to Brooklyn, where the biotech branch operated out of a newly purchased facility.

When he arrived, the security guard immediately snapped to attention.

They all knew who the boss was—every new hire underwent strict orientation. Anyone who failed to recognize Xu Dan wouldn't even make it past day one.

No cliché online melodrama here.

Entering the building, Xu Dan called softly, "Red Queen?"

"Here, Master."

"Scan this place."

"Yes."

Since the biotechnology branch was newly built, its internal data wasn't as complex as the main company's.

Soon, she reported:

"Scan complete. Three dangerous experiments are currently active. All others are normal."

"Dangerous experiments?"

In the Red Queen's vocabulary, dangerous meant absolutely lethal.

She had once monitored the Hive and witnessed countless horrors—zombies included.

Modern threats were child's play in comparison.

"Terminate them immediately," Xu Dan ordered.

In one laboratory, a researcher eagerly conducting human experiments suddenly froze as all his equipment shut down at once. Even the lights went out.

Startled, he hurried out of the lab.

"!!"

Xu Dan was already heading in that direction, following the Red Queen's guidance.

The moment he saw the panicked researcher, he didn't say a word—he blurred forward, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him effortlessly.

"Panicking like that—do I look like a ghost to you?"

The young researcher struggled, only then realizing the man holding him was the boss!

"N-no! Not at all!" Realizing how odd that sounded, he quickly added, "Good afternoon, boss!"

Xu Dan let him go with an annoyed shake of his head and walked into the lab.

What he saw made his expression darken.

"What exactly are you doing?"

The researcher, trembling, hurried to explain: "I—I'm developing… the most realistic, intelligent… self-heating, self-spraying… F-cups…"

…Damn.A werewolf indeed.

His "self-heating" function had nearly blown up his own little brother earlier.

Xu Dan shook his head helplessly, shot the idiot a glare, and continued toward Banner.
