My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 272 "Your boss? The boss of Neon City?"

"The Mines of the Wise."

Ten level 4 iron mines, ten level 4 copper mines, ten level 4 titanium crystal mines, ten level 4 lumberyards, and ten level 4 red heart rock mines.

A total of 50 mines.

Mining does take some time and is not an easy job.

But Chen Mang was not in a hurry.

soon--

6 days passed.

"."

Chen Mang, lying on the chair, looked at the movie on the screen that he had watched three or four times, sighed lightly, lit a cigarette with some boredom, and looked at the bustling scene outside the window.

No new movies.

There was no entertainment, and he played the stand-alone game consoles produced on the production line, but found them boring.

I have been to the combat training virtual space many times these days.

Although the "Combat Training Virtual Space" looks like a game, it is only entered with consciousness and there is no reward plot mechanism. It is not very exciting to play. On the contrary, it is quite painful to die because of the constant injuries.

It can be used for training.

It's not enough to use it as an entertainment measure.

In the past few days, he had been dreaming at night, but he never brought anything out of his dreams. And perhaps because he had been digging for many days in a row in his dreams, he felt a little listless, with sore and tired all over.

For the time being, he didn't want to create dreams.

It's just tiring.

He looked down at the "Project Plan" in his hand. This was jointly drafted by Lao Zhu and Zhang Yiren yesterday. He mentioned yesterday that there were not enough entertainment activities on the train, so the two of them drafted this project plan.

Two variety shows.

The first variety show is a blind date variety show, which can enable more people on the train to get married, have children, and pass on human civilization.

He glanced at it and threw it aside. The train didn't need to have children now. It had to become stronger in the future before considering the matter of inheriting human civilization.

In fact, if a newborn is born on a train, there will be a bonus of +1 inheritance value.

But basically no train will encourage childbirth on the train just for this reward.

The rewards are too little.

Fortunately, the reward is not high, otherwise life would be very difficult for women who are capable of having children. If childbirth is encouraged too much, it will become a business.

The second variety show is "Time Travel Variety Show".

By knocking a survivor unconscious, the illusion of time travel is created for the survivor, allowing him to live freely in the re-set space door, and observing his actions through hidden mechanical eyes.

"Um"

Chen Mang nodded thoughtfully. To be honest, he was quite interested in the second variety show. There was no need to get dizzy. Once the space stillness was activated, a perfect time-travel scene could be created.

But it is more troublesome to set up the scene.

As for the selection of people, it is easy. The last time we went to the city to search for supplies, a group of survivors ambushed Biaozi and others. This group of survivors has been abducted into the train. They were not given the status of train residents, but were locked up and used as guinea pigs.

Trial and error researchers who need "non-subjective" exploration can use these mice for trial and error.

The so-called non-subjective means that the trialer does not need to make any action, just throw the trialer over and it will be fine. For example, the decryption adventure map he just went to, a non-subjective trialer would not be able to do it.

"Xiao Ai."

"I'm here."

"Contact Lao Zhu. I'm quite interested in the second reality show. Let Zhang go alone to set up the set. Since the conditions are insufficient, we can use local materials."

"clear."

Only then did Chen Mang look at the screen on the control panel. It was almost the seventh day, and there were only a few minutes left until midnight. After midnight, the "Neon City" would open again.

This will be the second opening.

He didn't know how many people had picked up the "Neon City Ticket" or how many people were preparing to enter this time. The user data was almost zero and he couldn't see any user data.

"It's all up to you, Mundo."

Chen Mang muttered in a daze. The people who appeared when Neon City was first opened were basically the train conductors in the area when he came. He had met him on many trains before, so they could be said to be old acquaintances.

After all, his first batch of admission tickets could only be spread in this area and could not reach other areas.

As for how many people can come for the second opening.

It depends on how many tickets Mundo has issued in the past few days. In other words, today is the time to test Mundo's results.

"Don't let me down, Xiao Duoduo."

"Ah!"

In the wilderness, Mundo, who was speeding along on an off-road motorcycle under a sky full of stars, suddenly sneezed uncontrollably. After rubbing his itchy nose, he stepped on the accelerator to the limit and continued to drive forward.

He can only travel randomly ten times a day.

He couldn't just randomly teleport every time he encountered a train. That would be too inefficient, and there was no guarantee that he would encounter a train every time he teleported.

What he did was to ride a motorcycle across the wilderness to look for a train after each random teleportation, so that he could maximize the number of his teleportations.

He patted the bulging space bag on his waist, which was filled with red heart nuts, food, water, admission tickets and other miscellaneous things.

Mondo took out a red heart nut from his pocket and put it in his mouth. He soon sensed that there was a train stopping not far ahead, so he immediately drove straight towards it!
The distance is gradually approaching.

The heavy machine gun on the train began to slowly turn and aim at him, but did not open fire. This was the confidence of the black market businessman. Anyone who dared to attack the black market businessman did not want to live!

He skillfully and freely drove the motorcycle to the left side of the train room, took out an admission ticket from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

Then he left without saying a word.

A few minutes later.

In the train room, a man walked down and picked up the ticket on the ground with some confusion. After seeing the information on the panel, he nodded thoughtfully, then put the ticket in his arms and went to the train room again.

Again and again, I don't know how many times it was repeated.

Mundo is like a hardworking little bee, repeating this work without sleep.

The development of Star is the result of the efforts of countless individuals.

For example, Mundo.

Although no one could see his work inside the Star train, it was in these unknown places that Mundo made a huge contribution to the Star train.

Since ancient times.

A good product doesn’t mean it’s really good.

The one who can acquire customers steadily is the boss.

Time has come to zero.

"Neon City" is open again!
"There are two of us."

Chen Mang stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of a high-rise building in Sun City, looking down at the train conductors not far below, counting silently. After 10 minutes of opening, 78 people came, which was not bad.

It seems that many people came in at the earliest opportunity.

The last time the restaurant opened, a total of 188 people came in. I don’t know how many will come in this time, but as long as there are 189 people, he will be satisfied. At least it will maintain an upward trend.

This means that he maintained the old volume while also welcoming new volume.

Do not know why.

I still feel a little nervous inside.

"Mr. Mang."

Uncle Li, who was standing nearby, asked quietly, "When will Neon City open all day? I think the sales will be higher if it's open all day."

"will not."

Chen Mang, standing by the window with a cane, shook his head and said softly, "With not many users, if we open all day, our sales will drop a lot. People won't rush to buy many things. After all, they can come in anytime, so it doesn't matter which day they buy."

"Only by creating a certain sense of urgency, like we are doing now, can we force a deal."

"When the number of users reaches four digits and we can ensure that hundreds of train conductors enter Neon City every day, we can operate around the clock. There's no rush now."

"and"

"Everyone seems to have figured out something."

The degree of freedom in neon cities is high.

As long as you trade with "Stellar Tickets", you can basically do anything you want in Neon City. After six days of professional training, some residents of the Stellar train have successfully taken up their posts.

such as
"Bounty List."

at this time--

In front of the "Neon City" bounty list, seven or eight train conductors were gathered here, looking at the bounty information on the list with curiosity.

The original 200 million reward for cheating has already been completed.

Trains in the same area have come out to testify that the train could not be found on the train radio, and it is basically certain that it was destroyed.

At this time, a new bounty was added.
-
First place: Destroy the "Favored Train" in the Zombie Basin in the yellow area. The reward is 100 million star coupons. The reward will reimburse half of the ammunition consumption, which will be converted into additional star coupons.

Reward party: Anonymous.

Reason for the reward: Pure beast.

Reward information: Level 8 Mechanical Train.

No. 2: None.
-
"Um"

A train conductor in the crowd asked doubtfully, "Trains can't cross zones. If that yellow zone isn't connected to any other yellow zone, then only trains in that zone are eligible to take on this bounty, right?"

"Then why didn't he send it to the train radio instead of here?"

"You're stupid," a masked man nearby said speechlessly, "If you post on the train radio, you have to use your real name. The other party will know who's behind it, right? Here, it's anonymous, so it's much easier to be sneaky."

"Also, it's possible that they had a previous grudge and are no longer in the same area, so naturally, they can't offer a reward on the train radio."

"But since he's offering the reward anonymously, the chances of the former are much higher."

"Where did you get your mask?"

"I bought it at the spawn point. It's a one-time use item and will be automatically destroyed when you exit the adventure map. The price is 300 Stellar Tickets."

"I'll also offer a reward."

At this moment, a middle-aged man standing behind the crowd pondered for a moment, then walked over to the robot standing next to the bounty list. "I'm also posting a bounty. I'm hoping to find some kittens. I'll take as many as I can. I'm willing to exchange 5 Stellar Tickets for each kitten."

"Stupid, 5 star coupons to buy a kitten?"

"hehe."

The man chuckled, turned meaningfully and looked at the person who spoke next to him. He didn't say anything, but continued to issue the reward.

He is the conductor of a level 18 train. Although he doesn't know what the level of the strongest train is at this stage, he believes that he should be in the first echelon.

5 star coupons are equivalent to 5 units of iron ore.

It must be a low-grade train as it is so stingy with even 5 units of iron ore, but he did not despise it, instead he was very excited.

"For a bounty on supplies, please go to the free trade market next door."

The robot standing next to the bounty list pointed to the nearby street with a professional smile. "In the free market over there, train conductors can trade freely with each other and post bounties for supplies."

This bounty list was modified from a billboard behind a bus stop.

It stands by the road.

Seems pretty intuitive.

"it is good."

The middle-aged man nodded and said nothing more, but strode towards the free trade market on the side.

Looking at the shops on both sides of the street and the tall buildings in the distance, his eyes were full of excitement.

It's really magical here.

It is difficult to communicate between regions. This is an iron rule. Even information is difficult to transmit, not to mention the travel of trains and the flow of materials. He hasn't seen a low-level train for a long time, which means that many regions are connected here.

There are even quite a few white areas.

Kittens and young kittens can only exist in low-level areas. The living conditions in high-level areas make it impossible for stray cats to survive.

There is no doubt that he will die.

1 unit of iron ore can be exchanged for 1 star ticket. This is the rule of this adventure map.

It seems fair to every train conductor.

But in fact, the level 1 train and the level 18 train have completely different perceptions of the value of 5 units of iron ore. If you can exchange 5 units of iron ore for a kitten, you don’t know how much profit you will make.

It depends on whether you can get it.

Although this place is magical, there don’t seem to be many people here, only about a hundred train conductors.

"5 units of iron ore to buy kittens?"

Chen Mang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking thoughtfully at the back of the middle-aged man. He was extremely concerned about this middle-aged man, who was the highest-ranking train conductor among all of them, with a train level of 18.

Many levels higher than him.

He couldn't come into contact with a train conductor of this level. There was no doubt that this person was brought back by Mundo.

If you need a pet simply because you're lonely, you won't take as many as you want.

It feels a bit like it is related to the "Star Beast".

Can the Level 18 train, through some means, turn ordinary cubs into star beasts?
Does it have to be kittens?

Where are the adult cats, the piglets, and the chicks?
"Hey, are you fucking going too far!!!"

"Do you really want to fight me to the death?!"

"Grass mud horse!"

In front of a brothel, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, a burly man glared fiercely at the middle-aged man standing in front of him, "Do you dare to tell me your current location? Let's have a head-on fight!"

"Don't let the family suffer any harm. What do you mean by using my mother's photo to customize it?"

"Don't dare."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said seriously, "I don't have much copper left. I have to use it sparingly. Besides, haven't we been fighting to the death for a long time? Well, you said it was a coincidence. Who made me accidentally find your mother's photo?"

Then he looked at the service staff of the custom shop.

"Can you take the custom-made girl to the street?"

"In principle, no, but if you're willing to add 10 Stellar coupons as an outing fee, it's possible."

"10?"

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, thinking it was a bit expensive, but when he saw the stern and angry look on the face of the burly man next to him, he suddenly felt as cool and refreshing as drinking an iced soda in the dog days of summer.

He nodded immediately and said generously, "10 is 10."

"I paid for it."

"Bring it out. I'm right here on the street."

"Hey!"

The burly man wanted to lose his temper, but seeing the black hole-armed robots around him, he suppressed his anger and looked at the service staff of the custom shop: "Don't you have any privacy regulations?"

"some."

The service staff smiled professionally and said, "As a rule, sex shops don't allow customization of well-known public figures, nor do they allow customization based on photos."

"Then why did you ask him to customize it?"

"In a neon city, principles can be slightly relaxed."

"Fuck you!"

At this time, the girl who was ordered to wear the costume had already walked out of the store. The burly man froze in place, and then his face became so gloomy that he left the place quickly, not wanting to stay here any longer.

The passersby who were watching around looked at each other in surprise after seeing this scene.

Everyone secretly made up their minds.

You have to buy a mask.

And you have to protect your family's photos. This is a bit like the Dark Forest. Whoever exposes his family's photos first, if the enemy knows about it, then he will be in trouble.
Be disgusted.

It won't kill people, but it will annoy them.

“Great, so great!!”

Hearing the man's sneer, the burly man couldn't help but quicken his pace and head towards the "Reward List" again. He looked at the staff standing at the reward list and said gloomily, "I want to offer a reward!"

"Free Trade Zone".

"Open for a limited time, no handling fee yet."

There are quite a few stalls here at this time, and there is a screen in front of each stall, on which the goods sold and purchased by the train conductor are displayed.

“It’s been a long time since I last felt this way.”

The conductor of the Class 18 train, a middle-aged man in long sleeves and long pants, looked at the information on the screen of the first booth, was slightly startled, and looked a little dazed, not knowing what he was thinking about. After a moment, he shook his head and chuckled.

There was only a line of small words written on the screen.

"Seeking a Level 4 or higher train conductor to share some of their experience."

"Paid consultation, price negotiable."

"You need to show your train's grade."

He suddenly thought of when he was still weak. At that time, he also hoped that someone could pass on some experience to him, but the huge gaps between regions made it impossible for him to contact high-level trains. Even if he could contact them, he didn't dare to do so.

The conditions are really good now.

With the existence of neon cities, this is no longer a fantasy.

He didn't know how long it had been since he last saw a train in the white area.

He immediately squatted down, tapped his watch lightly, and then shook his wrist: "Little brother, is the 18-level train enough for me to guide you?"

"Level 18?"

The young man sitting at the booth stared at the train class on his watch, stunned. He then hurriedly stood up, his face filled with awe and fear as he whispered, "Senior, I... I can't afford the high consulting fees."

"I'll take your 1-star voucher. Do you have any cigarettes?"

"Have."

"Have one."

The middle-aged man sat cross-legged on the ground, lit a cigarette, and began to reminisce. After a while, he spoke: "You should be in the white area now, right? Which train level?"

"Level 3 train."

"Level 3 Train, let me think about it, the job transfer should start soon. I personally suggest ignoring the Flesh Train and choosing the Mechanical Train instead. The S-level job transfer for the Mechanical Train is extremely difficult and basically impossible to complete."

"unless."

"Unless you're willing to buy a large number of level 10 refrigerators at the Mechanical Train Parts Shop. I just checked, and if you have a large number of level 10 refrigerators, it's possible to clear the level. However, it will consume a large amount of iron ore, at least 50."

"For you in the white area, it's hard to come up with $50. It's an astronomical figure."

"The A-level difficulty has significant drawbacks, and the B-level job transfer quest is extremely difficult. The C-level job transfer quest is a good option. You can complete it by simply transferring the train conductor to someone else and then transferring it back. However, this requires you to have a trusted relative. Don't try to control them and force them to transfer back to the train conductor."

"Unrealistic."

“Few people would give up their position as train conductor.”

"At worst, we can die together. Once the conductor dies, the train will be scrapped. Without the train, you will die too."

"The transfer of the conductor position cannot be carried out outside the train."

"I suggest you choose the D-level job transfer task directly. Don't waste too much time on it, and don't gamble. Because there is not much difference between C-level potential and D-level potential, they are all the same."

"After upgrading your armor to level 3, you can switch jobs and head to the green area to upgrade to level 4 train."

"You'll have an energy shield at this point. I recommend building one and not upgrading it. Just use level 3 armor to withstand it. If you encounter a train attacking you or a high-level monster, just run away."

"Upgrade as quickly as possible."

"Raise the train grade."

"Then, when the train reaches level 6, craft the Chaebol Energy Shield and skip the upgrade to level 4, where you can craft the Energy Shield accessory. This will save a lot of iron ore. Otherwise, if you keep upgrading the Energy Shield, you'll consume a lot of iron ore and need to upgrade the Chaebol Energy Shield again at level 6."

"This includes the 'Hell Cannon' that can be crafted when the train reaches level 4. Just craft one to meet the upgrade requirements. You don't need to upgrade or craft more. Just use the 'Three-Legged Cat Heavy Machine Gun'. Anyway, you'll probably have very little copper at this stage, so there's no need to fight monsters."

"If there are monsters, run away. If there are no monsters, dig."

"After reaching level 6, build the Doomsday Cannon. This weapon will be your mainstay for a long time."

"It can be upgraded to level 8. After reaching level 5, the super effect is that ammunition consumption is halved, which can reduce the pressure on your copper mine. If you have Murphy Stone, then it can be upgraded to level 10. The super effect of level 10 is also to halve ammunition consumption."

"This weapon can basically guarantee your transition to level 10."

"Level 10 is another hurdle. At this point, you're entering a firepower vacuum. Both your energy shields and weapons are a bit out of date and need to be replaced, which consumes a lot of resources."

"A level 10 Doomsday Cannon can no longer guarantee your safety against monsters in the blue zone."

"You need to craft red-grade weapons and energy shields. You need them during this period."

The middle-aged man spoke very seriously, almost teaching everything he knew. In fact, he himself had not avoided many of the pitfalls he mentioned. He only realized that these were pitfalls after he had stepped into them himself. After all, no one had told him these things before.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

He felt a little dry-mouthed. He talked a lot about how to find the adventure map, how to get rewards in the adventure map, and how to collect some special regional items.

For example, the "drill" accessory is only available in a few low-level areas.

If he could get enough drill blueprints and sell them for a good price in Neon City, he would definitely buy it. He had the special item "Drill Ruyi Order", but he didn't have the blueprint for the drill accessory, so he had no way to obtain it.

After finally finishing the story.

He then realized that a lot of people had gathered around him, and everyone was listening to him quietly and taking notes in their notebooks.

"Are there so many people?"

The man was slightly stunned.

"gentlemen."

The young man in front of the stall stood up with red eyes, bowed deeply to the middle-aged man, and said in a trembling voice, "In my area, many train conductors come to rob my iron ore. I didn't expect there is such a good person like you in the world. No wonder you are a level 18 train conductor."

"This is a great favor. I will definitely repay you with gratitude when I have the chance."

"Not really."

The middle-aged man stood up, waved his hand, and sighed softly: "You think too much. You pose no threat to me, so I am willing to tell you so much. When I was weak, I also climbed up like you said. If you want to develop, there will definitely be competition."

"Iron ore is something we should grab."

"Everyone needs iron ore, even I am short of it right now. The cost of upgrading my energy shield is an absolutely astronomical figure for you. The combined price of all the goods in the free trade market is not enough to cover the cost of upgrading my energy shield once."

He didn't say anything else, but walked towards the next stall. He was just feeling emotional and wanted to share his experience. If his experience could improve the survival rate of low-grade trains, he felt it was worth it.

The second stall sells pens and notebooks.

"."

The middle-aged man silently looked at the people around him who were looking at him with gratitude. These people had just listened to the experience he shared here. Each of them was holding a pen and a notebook in their hands, all of the same style, exactly the same as the pens and notebooks sold at the second stall.

He silently withdrew his gaze and looked at the smiling vendor at the second stall and whispered softly.

"You will succeed in whatever you do in the future."

"How much did you make?"

"Not much, maybe around 20,000 Stellar Vouchers."

"You can sell some of these books for nearly 20,000 Stellar Vouchers?"

"There's a temporary price increase."

"How much has it increased?"

"300 times, the original pen book added up to sell 2 star tickets."

"sharp."

"Big Brother, you are amazing. Without your experience, no one would buy my pen and notebook. Such valuable experience, but you only sold it for 1 star voucher. Big Brother, you are so awesome! I admire you!"

"You're still better."

The middle-aged man walked around the free trade market. There were a dozen or so stalls in total, but there were not many people setting up stalls. There were not many goods he needed, and the items sold were a bit too low-end. He no longer needed these things.

Finally, a stall was set up in the corner.

Not sold.

Only acquisitions.

"5 Stellar Vouchers for a kitten. I'll take as many as you want."

Then he got up and left, choosing automatic hosting.

This is a feature in the "Free Trade Market". Vendors can choose to freely entrust or freely sell without having to sit in front of the stall. They only need to set the purchase price and the selling price.

The price for one day of hosting is 1000 Stellar vouchers.

Very useful.

It saves a lot of time and is much more convenient than at a rally.

"This guy"

Chen Mang, standing on the office building, took in the whole scene and thought thoughtfully that these experiences were all real novice experiences that could help low-level trains avoid many pitfalls and greatly increase their survival rates.

This was what he wanted to do.

He was organizing his novice experience and preparing to sell it for 100 star tickets.

But after listening to what the man said just now, he found that the experience he summarized was not as good as the man's.

mainly.
It is difficult to summarize his experience as a novice, as it was all a snowball process. He never encountered any fire defense vacuum period. From the beginning, his armor defense level was basically on par with the regional level.

It doesn't feel like a waste of resources.

He has been upgrading armor.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at Xiao Ai beside him and said, "Write down everything he just said, then find someone to talk to him and try to get more detailed experience. Then, combine it with my experience and compile a beginner's tutorial. Sell it for 100 star tickets and sell it to low-level trains."

"Help more trains survive."

“As a permanent commodity.”

"55: split."

"Yes."

He didn't expect this product to make money, but this product could help many low-grade trains, thereby adding more high-grade trains, which can be regarded as indirectly cultivating high-net-worth customers for Neon City.

The price is set at 100 Stellar Vouchers, which is just right so that people can afford low-level trains.

The price is too low, which gives people a bad impression.

"Hello sir, our boss invites you to come over."

A middle-aged man who was strolling on the street looked at the woman walking towards him with his eyes slightly narrowed. He could clearly see the mechanical organs on the woman's body. She was a robot.

"Your boss? The boss of Neon City?"

"Yes."

"Lead the way."

The man quietly followed the woman, walking towards the Sun City, but his heart was already exploding like a mountain collapsing. This was the first time he met people with intelligent and communicative mechanical civilization in the adventure map!

The boss actually invited him over.

This is already enlightened.

He had been to many adventure maps, so he naturally knew about the existence of mechanical civilization and that trains were the means of mechanical civilization. However, various signs obtained from the adventure maps showed that mechanical civilization seemed to have died out.

He had never met a mechanical person with whom he could communicate normally!
This is the first one.
