62: Chapter 62: Excellent Level - Unlimited Resources!

When the last good grade material, Waterproof Resin, was also sacrificed by Li Taiping to the treasure basin, his entire worldview seemed to be refreshed.

He watched as the quantity of countless good grade materials in his personal warehouse wildly jumped at a terrifying speed of one per second.

An unprecedented sense of control and satisfaction spontaneously arose.

Infinite!

Following normal grade supplies, even good grade supplies, which were more than one level higher in rarity, had been achieved by him in unlimited mass production!

What did this mean?

It meant that the biggest obstacle to upgrading his fourth-rank duozi duofu hao had been completely cleared by him!

Those one hundred good grade energy stones and one hundred and fifty units of good grade special materials,

To him, they were no longer astronomical figures that were out of reach, but merely numbers that required a little time to “produce”!

"Awesome! So awesome!"

Li Taiping was so excited he almost jumped up and down.

He felt like a game player with a cheat code activated; while others were still painstakingly fighting monsters and saving money, he had already locked the in-game money count to 999999...

This feeling was simply addictive!

He forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and once again turned his gaze to the regional chat channel.

The transactions were still ongoing.

Those Survivor who had exchanged for Bearskin Coats and food were all expressing their gratitude to Li Taiping in the channel, with various words of praise flooding the screen.

"Thank you, Top Rank Boss! The coat has been received, it's so warm! Our team is saved!"

"Boss is truly a living Bodhisattva! Not only did he help us deal with the monsters, but he also brought us warmth! This great kindness will never be forgotten!"

"From today onwards, I am the boss's most loyal believer! Praise the Ten Thousand Generations Monarch!"

"rank one is the best! The boss is my reborn parent!"

"Boss is awesome! With the Bearskin Coat, Mom no longer has to worry about me freezing to death!"

"Long live the Ten Thousand Generations Monarch! This is how our human leader should be!"

"Praise the Ten Thousand Generations Monarch! x10086"

"Brothers, I propose that from now on, we should treat the boss's ID as our faith! The first thing we do every morning when we wake up is to silently chant 'Praise the Ten Thousand Generations Monarch' three times, to bless us with miracles from opening chests!"

"Seconded! The boss is the only hope and light for us mortals struggling on the edge of survival!"

Li Taiping couldn't help but laugh out loud at these overly flattering praises.

Although he knew that more than half of these people were just buttering him up, he had to admit that this feeling of being revered by thousands and worshipped like a god was indeed very satisfying.

He could already foresee that in the days to come, as long as he controlled the lifeline of resources,

These Survivor would become his most loyal “believers” and “workers”.

They would desperately explore this world to obtain survival materials from him, collect various rare materials, and then obediently deliver them to him.

And he, only needed to sit at home, move his fingers, and enjoy the fruits of their labor, constantly snowballing and becoming stronger and stronger.

This was a perfect, sustainable exploitation...

Ah no, it was a win-win model.

It was a grand feast created by him, the rank one.

And those Survivor who didn't have good grade materials and could only watch others trade with envious red eyes.

"Wuwuwu, why am I so unlucky? I opened a hundred wooden boxes, and I didn't even see a single good grade hair!"

"I'm begging for a Bearskin Coat! Is there any boss who got an extra one and can sell me one? I'll trade ten units of iron blocks for it!"

"Does the boss take other things? I have an ancestral chromosome here, I wonder if you're interested?"

Watching the conversations of the workers, who now had hope for survival, become active again,

Li Taiping shook his head and contentedly closed the chat channel.

The external “commercial empire” had been initially established; next was to deal with internal affairs.

He looked up at the stairs leading to the third floor.

He wondered how The girls were recovering.

Especially the new Yu Tong, and Yun Jinxin, who was still taking care of everyone.

As the captain, having finished with “state affairs,” it was time to attend to his “family affairs.”

Li Taiping strode towards the Captain's Bedroom on the third floor.

His steps were light, and he even hummed an out-of-tune little song.

Today was truly a day of harvest.

...

Third floor, at the Captain's Bedroom door.

As Li Taiping reached the door, he heard suppressed, hushed conversations coming from inside.

"Sister Jin Xin, Sister Su Mei and the others... are they really okay? Why aren't they waking up yet?"

It was Yu Tong's voice, tinged with worry and unease.

"It's nothing, Brother Taiping said they were just too tired and would be fine after a good sleep."

This was Yun Jinxin's voice; it sounded very calm, like a reliable little adult.

"But... I'm still so worried. And... and this bed is so crowded."

Yu Tong complained softly.

Li Taiping listened from the doorway and couldn't help but smile.

He pushed open the door and walked in.

"What are you chatting about, so lively?"

"Ah! Brother Taiping!"

"Captain!"

Seeing Li Taiping enter, Yun Jinxin and Yu Tong, who were huddled by the bed chatting softly, were startled and quickly stood upright.

Li Taiping's gaze immediately fell on the large bed.

The five girls were still asleep, but their complexions were much rosier than before, and their breathing had become steady and strong.

It seemed the comfortable double bed was extremely effective.

"They look much better."

Li Taiping nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, yes," Yun Jinxin quickly said, "Sister Su Mei's brows have smoothed out, and she was even talking in her sleep just now."

"Oh? What did she say?" Li Taiping asked curiously.

Yun Jinxin's face instantly flushed red, and she stammered:

"She... she said... 'Li Taiping, you scoundrel, don't run...'"

"Pfft..."

Li Taiping almost burst out laughing.

This woman, even in her dreams, is thinking about teaching me a lesson?

He shook his head and turned his gaze to the other side, to Yu Tong, who had been lowering her head since he entered and dared not look at him.

The little girl's face was flushed, and she nervously wrung the corner of her clothes, looking completely at a loss.

Li Taiping walked over and asked with a smile,

"What's wrong? Still shy about what happened earlier?"

"I... I'm not!" Yu Tong suddenly raised her head like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, then quickly lowered it again, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

Looking at her adorably innocent appearance, Li Taiping's mood improved even more.

He felt that it was time to attend to some “serious business.”
