81: Chapter 81 The Feasibility of an Infinite Resurrection Suicide Squad

"normal grade Resurrection Scrolls... can be mass-produced infinitely now..."

Li Taiping muttered to himself, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid, and his heart beating violently due to excessive excitement.

This discovery shocked and excited him even more than obtaining the epic grade and Excellent Grade scrolls earlier.

Although normal grade Resurrection Scrolls were no longer useful to him or The girls on the ship.

Their life levels were, at the very least, good grade.

But!

For the millions of ordinary players still struggling to survive in this world of Survivor, this thing was a miracle!

It was truly a second life!

In an instant, countless crazy and bold ideas flashed through Li Taiping's mind.

What could he do with these infinite Resurrection Scrolls?

Buy people's loyalty!

He could easily build a massive force that was absolutely loyal to him!

In this apocalyptic world where human life was cheaper than grass, was there anything more effective at winning people over than granting them life?

Nothing!

He could even form a true "Suicide Squad"!

An army of countless normal grade players who feared no death!

Let them explore the most dangerous sea regions, act as his vanguard, and scavenge resources for him!

Dead?

No problem, there were plenty of Resurrection Scrolls to go around!

As long as they were loyal, they could be resurrected infinitely!

How terrifying a power would that be?

Just thinking about it made Li Taiping's scalp tingle.

He even thought of an even more diabolical way to play.

If he provided a normal grade Survivor with infinite normal Resurrection Scrolls and then threw them into that all-consuming black tide...

What would happen?

They would die the moment the black tide consumed them, then activate a scroll to resurrect at a safe location.

Then, Li Taiping would throw them back in.

Die again, resurrect again.

An infinite loop.

Would this... trigger a system bug?

Could he use this method to test the secrets of the black tide?

Or even... find a way to counter the black tide?

This thought was like a devil's seed, taking root and sprouting wildly in his heart.

"This is just... too damn exciting!"

Li Taiping couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He felt as if he had found a lever that could pry apart the rules of the entire world.

Of course, these were all just preliminary ideas.

To realize them, he would need detailed plans and a lot of preparation.

"No rush, take it slow."

Li Taiping forcibly suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart.

He put all sixty-four normal grade Resurrection Scrolls and sixteen good grade Resurrection Scrolls on the ground into his warehouse.

Looking at the mountain of scrolls in the warehouse, each emitting a different glow,

He felt like a king sitting on a mountain of gold, filled with an unprecedented sense of security and satisfaction.

Only after doing all this did he finally turn his gaze back to the deepest part of the cavern, where the original four light orbs had been quietly floating from the start.

Three blue, one purple.

This was the explicit final reward of this dungeon.

With a relaxed and cheerful mood, he strode over.

He first picked up one of the blue light orbs.

As the light dissipated, a complex mechanical creation full of metallic texture and a high-tech feel appeared in his hand.

It was exactly what he had been longing for!

[Power Engine (Excellent Grade) x1]

[Description: A powerful engine built with unknown technology, capable of providing a steady stream of surging power for ships.]

[Note: A mandatory item for all ships to advance to Tier 4.]

"Here it is!"

Li Taiping's eyes lit up.

Without any pause, he immediately picked up the other two blue light orbs.

Unsurprisingly.

[Power Engine (Excellent Grade) x2]!

Three!

A total of three Excellent Grade Power Engines!

Adding the one he had previously gotten from a Goblin and the one he already had in his warehouse, he now had a total of five Excellent Grade Power Engines in his hand!

"Now, let alone upgrading to Tier 4, I even have a lead on the materials for Tier 5!"

Li Taiping was so excited he almost jumped up.

Suddenly, a question occurred to him.

Why were exactly three Power Engines dropped here?

The number of Power Engines required to upgrade a ship to Tier 4 was exactly three.

The two he had previously obtained—one was dropped from a peak good grade Goblin, and the other was dropped by a bizarre existence that was even harder to deal with.

The difficulty of obtaining them was extremely high.

It was simply not something an ordinary Survivor could obtain at this stage.

In other words...

The design of this dungeon itself was to provide top players with a stable channel to obtain materials for upgrading to Tier 4 ships!

The rules of this world were actually all pre-designed.

It just so happened that a top-tier player could find and enter this dungeon.

It just so happened that the dungeon BOSS had poor alertness, allowing players to use a "sneaky" method to steal these three Power Engines before the countdown ended.

It just so happened to gather the key materials for upgrading to a Tier 4 ship.

Everything was arranged.

And he was the accident.

The greatest variable who didn't follow the rules and took out the BOSS along with everything else!

"Hehe, this is fine too."

Li Taiping smiled mysteriously.

Since Power Engines could be stably produced through dungeons, it meant that this item was not unique among the top player groups.

In the future, he might have the chance to "borrow" some from other players.

Collect thirty-six of them and throw them into the treasure basin for infinite mass production!

At that time, wouldn't he be able to create an invincible fleet of the seas composed of countless Tier 4 warships?

At the thought of that scene, Li Taiping felt his heart tremble.

He quickly shook his head, momentarily casting this unrealistic fantasy out of his mind.

One bite at a time, one step at a time.

It was still too early to think about those things.

He contentedly put the three Power Engines into his warehouse.

Finally, his gaze fell on the purple light orb that had been emitting an alluring glow from the start.

This was the biggest surprise of this dungeon!

He reached out his hand and, with a touch of pilgrimage-like reverence, slowly touched the purple light orb.

The light slowly dissipated in his palm.

A super engine, even more precise and massive than an Excellent Grade engine, filled with sci-fi colors, quietly floated before him.

Its surface even had purple energy patterns flowing like liquid metal.

[Titan Power Core (epic grade)]

[Description: An ultimate power source built with lost Titan technology. It is said that the energy it contains is enough to drive a city sailing among the stars.]

[Note: A mandatory item for all ships to advance to Tier 5.]

A Tier 5 ship... upgrade item!"

Li Taiping was stunned as he read the description of this item.

Happiness had come far too suddenly!

He hadn't even upgraded to Tier 4 yet!

And yet, a Tier 5 upgrade item had dropped directly!

This feeling was like a child still in kindergarten suddenly receiving a postdoctoral admission letter!

Although it couldn't be used for now, the value of this thing was simply immeasurable!

"I've hit the jackpot... I've really hit the jackpot this time!"

Li Taiping held this epic grade power core and looked it over several times.

His gaze was like that of a father looking at his own son, filled with love and treasure.

He carefully put this treasure into his backpack.

After doing all this, he let out a long sigh of relief.

The entire cavern had been scavenged clean by him; there was nothing of value left.

He glanced at the dungeon countdown; there were still over seven hours left.

"Can't I get out?"

He tried to find an exit, but in the entire cavern, there were no other passages besides the path he had come from.

And that path had already been frozen over and completely blocked.

It seemed he could only wait for the time to run out and be automatically teleported out by the system.

"Fine, I'll just use this time to consolidate my strength."

Li Taiping was in no hurry.

He sat down cross-legged and took out pieces of crystal-clear good grade energy stones from his warehouse.

For others, these were incredibly precious cultivation resources.

For him, they were mass-produced infinitely, more than enough!

He closed his eyes and began to fully circulate the energy within his body, absorbing the pure energy contained in the energy stones bit by bit, constantly tempering his body.

He wanted to completely stabilize his realm, which had just broken through to the middle stage of the Excellent Grade!

And perhaps even take a small step further!
