89: Chapter 89 The Ultimate Talent! The Intelligence Prophet!

However, this was not yet Li Taiping's limit.

Because there was one last Talent, one that could be considered strategic-level at certain moments!

An information-gathering Talent belonging to Chu Mengyao!

His gaze fell upon the seventh and final icon shimmering with an Excellent Grade light.

[Talent: Intelligence Prophet (Excellent · Growth Type)]

[Effect: You possess the ability to peer into information. You can perform one "Prophecy" to randomly obtain one or more key pieces of information regarding the next sea area.]

[Note: Currently, three pieces of information can be obtained.]

Seeing the advancement of this Talent, Li Taiping's smile grew even brighter.

Information is always the most precious resource in this world.

Especially in this survival world full of unknowns and dangers, being able to foresee a part of the future in advance meant holding absolute initiative.

He recalled the results of the last prophecy.

That was back in the Extreme Cold Sea Region when both his and Chu Mengyao's Talents were only of good grade, and each could only obtain two pieces of information.

At that time, both he and Chu Mengyao had prophesied that beneath the deep waters of the Abyssal Sea Region, there were terrifying giant sea monsters.

This was a shared piece of key information; its importance was self-evident, directly relating to life and death.

As for the other piece of information, what the two of them foresaw was different.

What he had foreseen was that the next sea area would be the "Abyssal Sea Region"; this information had already been verified, as they were currently in that very region.

And what Chu Mengyao had foreseen was that all Survivor entering the Abyssal Sea Region would receive a good grade alloy fishing rod as a system supply.

With a thought, Li Taiping opened his personal inventory.

Sure enough, in a corner of his inventory lay a pitch-black fishing rod emitting a metallic luster.

A good grade alloy fishing rod with a full 100 durability.

This was the supply the system had automatically distributed to his inventory just as he entered the Abyssal Sea Region.

Had it been a few days ago, he probably would have jumped for joy upon receiving such a fishing rod.

After all, its attributes were quite good: [Probability of fishing up a stone treasure chest increased by 20%, with a very small probability of fishing up a black iron treasure chest].

For ordinary Survivor, this was definitely a divine tool that could change their fates.

But now, looking at this fishing rod, Li Taiping's expression was relatively indifferent.

In fact, he even looked down on it a little.

For no other reason than the efficiency being too low.

A very small probability of obtaining a black iron treasure chest?

This thing relied too much on luck.

For someone like him who possessed the [Bullseye] affix, he never relied on luck; he relied on causality!

But that probability was too low, outrageously low.

A waste of time!

He was now so wealthy it was appalling; he had no time to waste on such an inefficient "restocking" method.

He, Li Taiping, lived for the moment!

However...

Li Taiping stroked his chin, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Although he had no use for it, it was a treasure for those Survivor struggling on the edge of survival.

Once a large number of Survivor crossed the Extreme Cold Sea Region and reached this relatively peaceful Abyssal Sea Region, everyone would have an alloy fishing rod...

At that time, he could fully open up trades for unlimited food and water, easily purchasing these fishing rods from their hands.

With thirty-six of them, he could unlock the mass production of the treasure basin!

Then, an infinite supply of good grade fishing rods would mean he could form a massive "fishing labor legion"!

He could even use certain means to manipulate and guide these Survivor, making them beg and plead to work for him, collecting the excellent grade basic materials he urgently needed!

A grand plan gradually took shape in his mind.

For now, there was no rush.

One must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

After some thought, he casually opened the regional chat channel.

At this moment, the area channel was still in a state of frenzied excitement due to the recent World Number One announcement, with countless people praising his name.

He composed a message and sent it out.

[Li Taiping: Everyone, hang in there. After crossing the Extreme Cold Sea Region, you will reach the Abyssal Sea Region. The system will provide a good grade fishing rod. The environment here is relatively suitable for catching your breath and developing.]

Everyone would find out this information sooner or later anyway, so it was better to use his status as the rank one in the world to do them a favor, reaping a wave of prestige and public favor in the process.

Why not?

Sure enough, as soon as his message was sent, the entire area channel instantly erupted.

Those already frenzied followers were now even more excited beyond words.

"Holy crap! It's the big boss! The big boss himself has spoken!"

"My god! The Monarch is actually guiding us! He hasn't forgotten us mortals struggling at the bottom!"

"Waaa... I'm crying! What magnanimity! What breadth of mind! He clearly could have kept this information hidden and let us fend for ourselves, but he didn't!"

"Praise the Ten Thousand Generations Monarch! Your benevolence is like a lighthouse in the dark, illuminating the path ahead for us!"

This news, like a heavy bomb, was quickly transmitted to the world channel, triggering discussions across all major regions.

Survivor all over the world felt the "goodwill" from the world's number one at this moment.

"Is this the vision of the world's number one? I love it!"

"Compared to those selfish people who hide any good things they have, afraid others might find out, the Ten Thousand Generations Monarch is simply a saint!"

"He possesses a great heart and great vision; he is definitely the only choice for the co-lord of the human race!"

"The Ten Thousand Generations Monarch? He is already my faith! For the Monarch, I am willing to give everything!"

"Now I'm completely convinced. There's a reason why he's number one in the world while we can only eat dust behind him; his vision is just on a different level!"

Especially in the Extreme Cold Sea Region, the "Monarchs Personal Guard" led by Shen Xiu was now so excited they were nearly going insane.

Looking at the messages in the channel, Shen Xiu trembled with excitement. He grabbed the shoulder of his older brother, Shen He, and shook him vigorously.

"Bro! Did you see? Did you see? It's Father Monarch! Father Monarch is showing us the way!"

Shen He was shaken until he was dizzy, yet his face was also full of frenzy:

"I saw! I saw! Father Monarch is our second parent! He is the only dawn of hope in this desperate apocalypse!"

"Praise the Ten Thousand Generations Monarch!"

"Praise the Ten Thousand Generations Monarch!!"

Li Taiping naturally had no time to pay attention to these fanatical fans.

He had no idea that he had inexplicably gained so many "sons" who were older than him.

What "Great Son Shen He," "Old Son Shen Xiu"...

To him, sending this tip was truly just a casual act.

It wasn't like he was losing anything anyway.

He closed the noisy chat channel and looked up toward the distant sea.

The setting sun dyed the sea surface a magnificent gold, shimmering and truly beautiful.

At this moment, the fourth rank: many sons and many blessings had steadily delved deep into the range of the Abyssal Sea Region.

This also meant...

He could perform a prophecy for the next sea area!

A hint of anticipation flashed in Li Taiping's eyes.
