The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Despite the dense array of tiny water droplets, a hollow cavity is still preserved in the middle.

Li Can held up the glass jar and looked up to observe it.

"Hold on tight," A-Yun reminded him from the side.

Then, a bright blue flame, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, flew towards the glass jar in Li Can's hand.

Large clusters of flames were burning much more intensely than when Li Can had cast the spell before.

Upon contact with the crystal raindrops inside the jar, they seemed to have found their home, and clusters of flames eagerly burrowed into the hollow of the crystal.

Until all the flames in the air were absorbed by the crystal raindrops, the entire glass jar emitted a bright, clear blue light.

They flickered inside the crystal, like fireflies caught on a summer night.

It is dazzling and beautiful whether viewed up close or from afar.

"Master, this is too powerful. When I come out of the dungeon, please teach me this move too." Li Can was immediately shocked by A Yun's skills.

He understood that this was the method Ah Yun used to help him deal with those dungeon NPCs.

"Okay, okay, hahaha, I want cucumber-flavored potato chips. Find them for me when you get back, and I'll teach you this trick." Ayun didn't hesitate at all, her eyes filled with longing for snacks.

Even though those things had already gone bad.

Li Can was immediately in a real bind.

But he still agreed.

For so many years, he couldn't find any potato chips to eat, but he could find potato and cucumber seeds to plant something.

If we use technical means to restore the network on Earth, and search for a tutorial on making potato chips at home on a certain civilian university website, we can still replicate it to some extent.

He ran into Ah Yun, a guy with extremely high material desires. What could he do?

Of course, it's best to take time out of your busy schedule to hone your culinary skills as soon as possible.

Fortunately, although his cooking skills were not very good, Ah Yun was not picky.

It was as if as long as these things he still liked were still there, it would be the greatest comfort to him; Ayun was easily satisfied.

"Man, this is a variant of the necromancy spell, which I just developed. You just need to give the contents of this jar to that dwarf."

Ah Yun regained his composure. Knowing that Li Can had returned and time was tight, he immediately began to explain how to use the crystal water droplets inside the jars.

"Whenever he encounters a dungeon NPC that needs to be awakened, he should have the NPC take out a crystal seed from the jar, crush it, and drip the flames from it onto the person. Then the process will be successful."

"However, it is crucial to find a foolproof location during this process and avoid attracting attention to prevent unnecessary trouble."

"Although the creation of this instance began with the pseudo-aliens, it is now beyond their control and has its own rules for operation."

"But it's always better to be careful."

"Whether in the universe or in the world, everything has its own laws of operation. Even man-made products, after undergoing mutations, will break free from the control of the creator and have their own life."

Ayun said some strange and cryptic things to Li Can.

Li Can roughly understood what he meant. The reason why the dungeon game was able to break free from the pseudo-aliens was because the game itself had been cultivated enough and it had mutated.

He then remembered that a similar phenomenon did indeed exist in the original human society on Earth.

Artificial intelligence and AI robots, which people were once proud of, have eventually developed their own consciousness through generations of upgrades and updates.

Although humans can exert some influence if they are determined to intervene, artificial intelligence is largely out of control.

This was even their initial stage...

If human civilization hadn't collapsed, and hadn't been invaded by zombie viruses and death-themed dungeons, given the early stages of social development, humanity would have eventually evolved into a superior new species.

Unfortunately, everything ended at the very moment the apocalypse began.

From then on, superhumans officially appeared, while the former withdrew from the stage of history, and no one studied it anymore.

At this time, people rely more on their own strength and no longer trust any ability other than themselves.

However, Li Can had a hunch that in another timeline he could contact, there must also be someone still dedicated to making robots.

If such talent exists, he feels it's necessary to recruit them.

But that's a story for another time.

"Okay, I've got it all figured out. Thank you, Ayun." Li Can nodded, put the jar away, and placed it directly into her empty gashapon capsule.

Nowadays, he uses gashapon (capsule toys) more as a super-large, free storage space that ignores any time and space limitations.

They can be moved wherever they are needed.

"But aren't these crystals raindrops? So they're seeds?"

Ah Yun leisurely leaned against the branches of a low tree that hung low along the forest roadside, resting. "Oh, you can call me whatever you want, it doesn't matter."

"After all, this is a new spell I just created, and it hasn't been named yet. If you're interested, you can give this little crystal a name."

"What should we call him?"

Ayun looked at Li Can with anticipation.

Li Can observed the raindrop shape of the crystal in the glass jar. It did indeed resemble both water droplets and seeds. However, when used on the dead to help them escape and regain their memories, the name should ideally match this characteristic.

Therefore, one cannot define something solely based on its appearance.

"Then let's call it..." Li Can pondered, "The Seed of the Dead."

"After thinking it over, I think this is indeed more suitable."

"How about we just call them 'trailing seeds'?"

Li Can held up a glass jar, counting the number of seeds inside, unable to say whether it was too many or too few.

If Jack could make the most of all these seeds, he could at least win over several thousand people.

Restore the memories of thousands of NPCs in the dungeons, let them know about national and personal grievances, the origins of these dungeon games, and the true faces of the pseudo-aliens.

Just thinking about it made Li Can feel that the scene was a bit too exciting; it was truly a grand spectacle.

Unfortunately, he had neither the opportunity nor the time to witness such a grand scene firsthand.

That would certainly be a moment of passionate fervor and shared hatred of the enemy.

Rebellion is only truly exciting when it's a group of people.

"Sure, let's go with this then. When you come back from the solo dungeon, we'll trade potato chips for 'Tracing Seeds'," Ayun whispered.

Li Can was amused by him. In fact, even if he couldn't produce potato chips, A Yun would still teach him the techniques and laws without any sense of bargaining.

He's just lived too long and always wants to try new things and have some fun.

Li Can always cooperated very well.

"By the way, how long does it take for this traction seed to detach the instance NPC from its body, remove the needle, and then put them back into their body?"

Li Can asked earnestly, after all, based on his own experience with the time it took to perform the necromancy spell, it would take a long time.
