Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Su Li really wouldn't have used this tactic if there hadn't been absolutely no other way to get out of the predicament.

The damage is too great; one wrong move and I could die. If I don't, I'll have to face five-figure medical bills.

The results of this "Seven Wounds Sword of the Sun and Moon" technique were naturally very gratifying.

At that time, the spirit of the evil god was attached to the seawater, and that huge human face was where the spirit of the evil god condensed.

When Su Li struck with her sword, the damage it contained—the collapse of the sun and moon, the destruction of heaven and earth—directly penetrated the evil god's spiritual will, causing fundamental harm to the evil god. Given the level of magical energy of the native three-eyed people, it was almost certain that they would have no way to resolve this fundamental damage.

In this way, as long as Zuli has the patience, he can anchor himself in this world and wait for several years. The root damage will be an indelible leech, relentlessly eroding the spirituality of the evil god.

The remaining power of that sword strike was enough to create a hole in the fallen tsunami 'mountain' that would allow the train to pass through, thus protecting both its companions and the train.

Given the circumstances, Su Li felt it was her best option. Even if she died, the team would only lose one of her resurrection slots. Moreover, there was time to drip Su Li's blood onto Song Mingyu's statue. If handled properly, Su Li wouldn't even need to use up the resurrection slots provided by the system.

Of course, some people may wonder, why not just drip Zuli's blood onto the statue beforehand?

This raises a question.

Let's assume everyone bled. Then, Su Li and her companions encountered a very powerful enemy, and two of them died.

The statue's resurrection mechanism is triggered immediately whenever someone dies; the person who dies first will consume the statue's resurrection slot.

Let's assume the two people who died were Zuli and Sophia. Zuli still had a system resurrection slot available, while Sophia had already used hers.

If Suli dies first, she will trigger the statue's resurrection effect, putting the statue into a cooldown. Then, if Sophia dies, the statue will also be on cooldown. Since Sophia doesn't have a system slot left, Suli and the others will have to say goodbye to Sophia forever.

Considering this extreme situation, currently only teammates who do not have a system resurrection slot are allowed to bind their blood to the statue.

Having determined the current situation, Su Li and the others began to discuss the matter.

“Now that we’re back, let’s keep it the same as before and make some modifications to the train,” Su Li said.

At this moment, Song Mingyu raised her hand and said, "I would like to interrupt, I have a different idea."

Su Li gestured to Song Mingyu, "Go ahead, Sister Mingyu."

"I think we can take a break for a while."

Song Mingyu shared her thoughts: "After advancing to the Silver level, our potential has been greatly increased, allowing us to conduct more in-depth research."

"Instead of exploring more of the world, I think we need to stop exploring and properly develop our own abilities."

Su Li nodded and looked at her teammates around her, "What are your thoughts?"

Ivan was the first to respond, "Brother-in-law, that's what I think too. After this battle, I have some new ideas about my skill development. I don't want to explore the world for the time being. I'd rather spend some time reflecting on it."

Sun Keke chimed in, "Me too. My previous dragon summoning techniques were all designed before the Silver level. After the Silver level, energy underwent a qualitative change, and I had more ideas. I really need time to redesign my skills."

"I need time to study the secret recipe. The products of the World Flower have come down, and I have a lot of inspiration."

"Me too. There are still many aspects of the newly acquired Cradle of Life that I haven't figured out yet. This time, I've collected quite a few life factors. I don't even want to sleep now; I just want to stay in the research lab."

"These two pieces of equipment I just got are very interesting; I'd like to take a look at them."

It was clear that everyone shared the same thought. Su Li nodded. "Alright then. Actually, I had the same thought. After reaching the Silver level, my understanding of energy deepened, and I was able to feel the operation of magical energy more directly. To be honest, various inspirations for improvement were like a spring, constantly accumulating in my heart."

"Sometimes, inspiration is fleeting. During these days of exploration, some ideas occasionally flashed through my mind, and I was itching to write them down, but I had to suppress them because I needed to explore and collect resources."

This feeling is truly torturous.

“Since everyone shares this view, let’s temporarily halt our exploration of the new world,” Su Li decided.

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled.

Actually, even without everyone reminding her, Su Li planned to cease external exploration after the next expedition and focus on solidifying her foundation and theoretical studies. This is similar to the common stage in novels where, after a breakthrough, one consolidates their cultivation level.

This was originally Zuli's plan.

Players familiar with stat-based progression games know that allocating points to experience boosts is the most worthwhile strategy in the early game. As the saying goes, sharpening your axe before chopping wood is essential.

Su Li's plan is to continue exploring and collecting various resources after the train advances to level 6, and to build several buildings that boost cultivation speed, comprehension, and combat skills. Once completed, the entire team will temporarily stop to study and cultivate. This is the most efficient approach.

“As originally planned, I intend to recuperate after the training ground is upgraded. The training ground is still a bit short of supplies.” Su Li glanced at the materials he had recorded for the training ground’s consumption, which included a large amount of black iron-grade elemental wood and stone. “Let’s just put these materials on the market for trading.”

The main benefit of the training ground is the efficiency of learning various combat techniques. Su Li and his team are currently focusing on theoretical research and route design, so it's not needed for now. We can postpone that.

Based on Zuli's understanding of the current trading market, these materials are currently priced at a high premium and have limited inventory, so buying them now would be slightly unprofitable.

But when I think about my own little world, this small loss doesn't seem like much.

Moreover, Zuli's own unique blueprints also fetch a premium when sold.

"Given the current market shipment volume, it would take about a month to gather enough supplies, but this timeframe won't delay us too much."

The current main force of Silver-level players are actually those who have focused on stat allocation. They have just broken through and are in a position to fight and level up. The byproduct of this fighting is all sorts of materials.

"Under the system's mandatory requirement, we still have to explore the small world, so let's go to the rewarded leisure world."
