60: Chapter 60 The Whole Region's Working Plan

Once this crazy idea appeared, it took root in Li Taiping's mind, growing wildly and becoming impossible to suppress.

Make the entire region work for me!

Just imagining that scene made his scalp tingle with excitement.

He no longer hesitated and immediately opened his survival manual, clicking into the [regional chat channel] which had been quiet for a while.

He needed to understand the current "market conditions" outside first.

As soon as he opened it, dense messages surged out like a tide.

The entire channel was filled with wails of despair, panic, and hopelessness.

"It's over, it's over, the Top Rank Boss isn't really dead, is he? If he dies, what will we do? Who will deal with that monster?"

"Don't talk nonsense! A great person is blessed by heaven; he'll definitely be fine! He's still on the leaderboard, which means he's alive!"

"What if he's alive? Even he was chased by that monster without any power to fight back. How can we, mere mortals, fight that monster? How are we supposed to play this game?"

"Yeah, first there's an unbeatable monster, then the life-threatening black tide, and now the second sea region is the Extreme Cold Sea Region. I don't even have a thick coat; I'm freezing to death!"

"Does anyone have food and water? I'll trade planks! Is ten planks for a bottle of water okay?"

"Help! I feel like I can't hold on anymore. I might as well die; it's too hopeless."

Li Taiping quickly scrolled through the chat history.

He already knew that his battle was known throughout the region.

But everyone's situation was even worse than he had imagined.

That "Unspeakable Shadow" had cast a huge psychological shadow over all Survivor.

And the low-temperature environment of this Extreme Cold Sea Region had become the last straw.

Food, water, and warm clothing had become the most urgently needed survival supplies for everyone now.

And these were precisely what he had in abundance.

Li Taiping's lips slowly curved upwards.

The market was ready for him; now, it was up to him, the "dealer," to manipulate it.

He glanced at his warehouse.

After taking down those two giant bears, he had obtained a [Bearskin Coat Blueprint] and two hundred units of [Warm Good Grade Bearskin].

[Bearskin Coat]

[Quality: good/Normal]

[Effect: Provides no defensive capabilities but offers constant temperature effect, resisting extreme cold.]

[Crafting Requirements: Warm Good Grade Bearskin x1]

This item was simply tailor-made for the current situation!

Li Taiping's plan became increasingly clear.

His plan was divided into three steps.

Step one: Use the treasure basin to achieve unlimited mass production of Bearskin Coats.

Step two: As a "savior," announce to the entire region that he had "dealt with" the terrifying monster, stabilize morale, and give them hope to live.

Step three: Throw out the Bearskin Coat, an irresistible bait, to high-price acquire all the good grade materials he needed!

Perfect!

Li Taiping gave himself a mental thumbs-up.

He immediately took action.

He first took out the [Bearskin Coat Blueprint] and chose to learn it.

Then, he took out the bearskin from his warehouse and began crafting.

With his current mental strength, crafting such common, low-tier items was incredibly easy.

Soon, thirty-six brand new, visibly thick and warm Bearskin Coats appeared in his warehouse.

Next, it was time to witness a miracle.

He "sacrificed" all thirty-six Bearskin Coats to the good grade treasure basin.

[Sacrifice complete. Current output: Bearskin Coat (good/Normal). Efficiency: 1/s.]

It's done!

Watching the number of [Bearskin Coats] in the treasure basin rapidly increase at a rate of one per second, Li Taiping revealed a satisfied smile.

Logistical supplies, fully prepared.

Now, it was time for him, the "Top Rank Boss," to make his grand appearance.

He stretched his neck, gathered his thoughts, then switched to the [regional chat channel], ready to post the message that would ignite the entire region.

He wanted everyone to know that their god had returned!

And, he brought with him the hope that would allow them to survive!

He thought for a moment and decided not to directly say that he had killed the monster.

That would seem too deliberate and too fake.

He wanted to use a more clever and inciting method.

He wanted others to "imagine" his magnificent image themselves.

So, he drafted the following message and clicked send.

[Li Taiping:

The danger in the Extreme Cold Sea Region has been temporarily resolved. Everyone can pass through safely.]

A simple sentence, without excessive explanation or boasting.

But it was precisely this sentence, coupled with his glittering "rank one" ID prefix, that instantly stirred up a monstrous wave in the dead silent chat channel.

Immediately after, without giving anyone time to react or ask questions, he sent out a second message.

This was also the core of his entire plan.

[Li Taiping]:

I hereby initiate a long-term acquisition quest.

I need the following materials: [energy stone (good)], [Coral Stone (good)], [Toughness Vine (good)], [Waterproof Resin (good)]...

And all other special items, blueprints, and scrolls of good grade or above that you deem valuable.

[Li Taiping]:

In exchange, I will provide [Bearskin Coat (good/Normal)].

Each good grade material can be exchanged for 5-20 units of normal materials/5 warm Bearskin Coats, plus five days' worth of food and fresh water.

For all special items, you can private message me. I will acquire them at a high price, guaranteeing a price that will satisfy you!

The two messages, one after another, accurately struck the hearts of every Survivor.

Li Taiping leaned back in his chair, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

He knew that from this moment on, the economic lifeline of the entire survival world was firmly in his grasp.

Those Survivor still struggling for half a piece of bread would soon go crazy for the "bait" he had thrown out.

They would scour all their belongings, bringing him their most precious, hidden treasures.

And he, by simply paying some "numbers" that cost him nothing, would be able to appropriate all the resources of the entire region for his own use.

Win-win?

No.

This was him, winning twice!
