My Doomsday Train

The next moment!

Chen Mang's voice, amplified through the train's external speakers, resonated in everyone's ears, devoid of any pleasantries or superfluous words.

It was less of a speech and more of a declaration.

"From today onwards."

"The Stellar Train will undergo a comprehensive reform. From this day forward, there will be no more terms like 'slave' or 'thug.'"

"Perhaps in the apocalypse, all train captains call you slaves, and perhaps you have long accepted this title in your hearts, but from now on, here with me, you are not slaves without human rights."

"As long as you are willing to work hard, you can still realize your value in the apocalypse."

"You will no longer be slaves, but train residents."

"Thugs will no longer be thugs, but guards."

"Positions and benefits will be separated."

"There can be many positions, but there are only six types of benefits, with each position enjoying different benefits."

"The lowest benefit is Level 3 Resident Status, with ten slices of bread and two bottles of mineral water daily, living in the refrigerator."

"Level 2 Resident Status comes with twenty slices of bread and four bottles of mineral water daily, living in the train car."

"Level 1 Resident Status maintains the same daily food supply and living in the train car. The number of 'Meat Coupons' earned depends on the daily mining output, with one 'Meat Coupon' awarded for every 10 units of resource ore. Excess amounts can be accumulated until tomorrow for a complete settlement."

"Level 3 Advanced Talent Status includes unlimited food and two 'Meat Coupons' per day."

"Level 2 Advanced Talent Status includes unlimited food and three 'Meat Coupons' per day."

"Level 1 Advanced Talent Status includes five 'Meat Coupons' per day."

Chen Mang looked at the crowd, leaning on his cane with one hand, and continued.

"All residents will be promoted based on their mining output. If you do not have other special talents, your position will always be a resident, with Level 1 Resident Status being the highest."

"Residents who sell their bodies will enjoy Level 3 Resident Status and can earn promotions based on the number of 'Meat Coupons' they have, up to Level 1 Resident Status."

"Biaozi, Lao Zhu."

"Here!"

Biaozi and Lao Zhu, standing below the train, hurriedly shouted in a serious and deep voice.

"You two will enjoy Level 1 Advanced Talent Status."

"The remaining eight guards will enjoy Level 2 Advanced Talent Status, and the remaining 20 newly recruited guards will enjoy Level 3 Advanced Talent Status."

"'Meat Coupons' can not only be used to buy meat but can also be used to purchase a large number of goods within the train."

"For example . . ."

"Cigarettes, snacks, food, some daily necessities, including even buying a 100-square-meter refrigerator as a wedding room, train orders, and status upgrades, etc."

"In the future, all residents who perform meritorious service will be rewarded with different amounts of meat coupons."

"This—"

"Is what I, Chen Mang, can give you. With the development of the Stellar Train, all benefits will be correspondingly improved."

"Let Lao Zhu explain the remaining details to you."

Having said that.

Chen Mang didn't stay any longer. He turned around and returned to his train room, plopped down on the chair, and let out a long sigh of relief. He looked out the window at the slaves and smiled contentedly. He and Lao Zhu had been discussing this train reform system for the past few days.

This was basically a good solution.

In the original train plan, there were two major problems.

The first was that once a slave was promoted to Level 1 Status, there was no room for further advancement. Their enthusiasm for work would weaken to some extent, but they couldn't be allowed to continue to advance, because the next step would be the thug's status. You can't let the slaves live in the thugs' carriages, right?

Including the train's current reward method, there is only one type, which is to improve the treatment.

But...

The size of different merits is different, so you can't always improve the treatment. And if Lao Zhu makes great contributions in the future, how will he be rewarded, and how will the treatment be improved?

In other words.

There is nothing to reward.

For a superior, facing subordinates who have made meritorious service, not having anything to reward is an extremely dangerous signal.

At this time, a currency is needed.

The 'Meat Coupon' came into being.

When the "Meat Coupon" is used as a currency, its effect of buying meat is actually the most inconspicuous. Those residents who sell meat and the Stellar Train will have a anchoring effect, just like the anchoring object of paper currency is gold and treasury bonds.

And he no longer needs to worry about having nothing to reward.

The right to speak for the "Meat Coupon" is completely in his hands. Although the slaves can only be promoted to Level 1 Resident Status at most, they can continue to earn meat coupons to exchange for a large 100-square-meter house for themselves, including status upgrades.

And the residents who sell meat will not be the same as before, but will have more free trading rights under the market economy.

Everyone can set different prices for themselves based on their appearance, skills, and even emotional value.

For example, this woman is three tickets at a time, and another woman is five tickets at a time.

Trains under this system.

Production efficiency is higher than slavery, and everyone's enthusiasm for work is higher than before.

In the previous slave train, all the slaves had scattered eyes and didn't know what would happen tomorrow, only knowing how to work, but after this system came out, everyone had a goal.

He put a lot of good things in the store.

The left hand manufactures "Meat Coupons" and distributes them according to the treatment.

The right hand recovers the meat coupons through the "Meat Coupon Store".

It is equivalent to passing the left hand once through the right hand, but the enthusiasm of everyone in the train will be mobilized. This way of mobilizing enthusiasm is much better than the previous system of rewarding everyone with a big pot of rice, but there are special methods in special periods.

The Stellar Train currently has absolute internal crushing power and external crushing power, and this system can only be used if there is no shortage of materials.

Other trains

How can I have the time to think about this, let's think about where to mine tomorrow.

He is quite satisfied with his system design. Although there are still many shortcomings, any system is slowly standardized from a prototype. No group system is in perfect condition from the beginning.

"'Level 3 Advanced Talent Status' sells for 200 meat coupons?"

After Lao Zhu finished speaking.

All the slaves gathered near the train, looking at the various commodity prices posted on the big-character posters outside the carriage. A resident with Level 1 Slave Status muttered to himself, full of shock, while breaking his fingers.

"I am now at Level 1 Slave Status, and I can have 1 meat coupon every day."

"So, that means I can be promoted to a Level 3 Senior Talent with benefits in just 200 days. After that, it's two meat vouchers every day, and I'll break even in 100 days."

"After that, it's purely two meat vouchers every day."

"That's 600 meat vouchers a year, then..."

"Still treating us like slaves?" A slave next to him nudged the muttering man, gazing at the large poster pasted outside the carriage, equally unable to look away: "Boss Mang already said, we're residents now."

"Oh, right, residents, residents."

The man was a little embarrassed and said sheepishly, "I'm still not quite used to it."

Inside the train car.

Chen Mang looked at Old Zhu in front of him and said in a deep voice, "There will definitely be many areas needing improvement and filling gaps when this system is truly put into practice, such as the prices of goods, etc."

"You need to keep a close eye on these things these days."

"Understand?"

"Understood." Old Zhu nodded solemnly in agreement, then asked, "Boss Mang, what's the treatment for Ji Chuchu and the group of little celebrities, as well as Li Shiji and the others?"

"..."

Chen Mang pondered for a moment before saying, "Give Ji Chuchu and Li Shiji Level 3 Senior Talent treatment, and have them reside in those two Senior Talent carriages. The batch of little celebrities can directly receive Level 3 Resident treatment."

"After all, they're celebrities, they won't price themselves low."

"Okay, there's one more thing..."

Old Zhu hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Boss Mang, didn't you say last time that you would reward Ji Chuchu to the slaves who performed well? But the slaves who perform well are all Goblins, and they don't play with women."

"Besides that, no one else has touched Ji Chuchu either."

"Mm."

Chen Mang casually nodded: "Got it, have her come over in a while."

Today.

All the slaves were resting, and everyone was excitedly looking at the dazzling list of goods.

"Honey, will you work hard to mine and buy me a house, okay?"

In the crowd.

A young couple, the girl looked at the refrigerator priced at "1000 meat vouchers" on the goods list, her eyes full of stars: "One day, we will definitely have a house of our own on the Stellar Train, right?"

"..."

The man's face was a little ugly, and he didn't speak. He only hoped that today was a dream, and everything would return to normal after he woke up.

What human rights? What residents!

He doesn't want any of it!

He just wants to be a slave!

To be a happy slave, with food to eat every day, no need to worry about safety, no need to worry about monsters, isn't that great?

Before the apocalypse.

He worked overtime desperately just to buy a house for marriage. Finally, the apocalypse came, and he didn't have to think about buying a house anymore, but how did things develop, he has to buy a house again?

Is he crazy? It's the end of the world, and he still has to buy a house!

Is he destined to be unable to escape buying a house in this lifetime?

Even if he directly crashed and died on the train now, would he still have to buy a house in hell? Is he just forced to buy such a damn house?

Originally, the train stipulated that everyone must mine at least 10 units per day.

Now it's good.

If you want to buy a house, the working hours must be extended every day to earn more meat vouchers.

"Honey, is it not possible?"

"Hoo..."

The man took a deep breath, forced a smile, and stroked his girlfriend's head: "How is it not possible?"

"I knew my husband is the best."

The girl's face was full of longing: "Boss Mang is so good, other train captains call us slaves, but Boss Mang calls us residents, and also gives us the opportunity to buy a house. Honey, it's so good, we are finally not slaves anymore."

"..."

The man remained silent and didn't speak immediately. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said word by word.

"Yes, we are finally not slaves anymore."

Yes.

The identity is no longer that of a slave!

But why does he feel more like a slave than before?

In a daze, he looked at another middle-aged couple in the crowd. The middle-aged woman looked very happy, and the middle-aged man happened to look at him.

Their eyes met.

Both saw the despair in each other's eyes.

However...

The man looked at the various goods on the "Goods List" and suddenly laughed helplessly. If he could really have a house of his own on the Stellar Train, it would actually be quite happy.

In the apocalypse, being able to live with someone you know and love.

Seems not bad either.

"Tsk."

Chen Mang, lying on the chair in the train car, took in the entire mental journey of the young couple outside the car window and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: "You say, this young couple isn't that truly in love, so how did this boy naturally shoulder the task of buying a house?"

If they were truly in love.

He would directly give a refrigerator to this young couple.

His "Apocalypse Marriage Certificate" has been piling up for many days, and he hasn't found someone suitable to use it on.

Ji Chuchu, kneeling aside, was quietly silent. She knew that Boss Mang didn't really want her to answer.

Chen Mang then withdrew his gaze from the young couple. He didn't care what the young couple thought. He only knew that this boy would have to mine more desperately in the future. As for the girl, she also had to meet the minimum requirement of mining at least 10 units per day, but she didn't seem willing to mine any more.

Finally.

He could bring this matter to a close. Next, he would prepare to go to the green area, "Shahe Plain," to complete the S-level difficulty job advancement task.

He glanced at Ji Chuchu kneeling beside him.

"Changed your clothes again?"

"Mm."

"There's a dress hanging there for you."

"Really?"

Ji Chuchu, kneeling on the ground, her eyes lit up, and she looked up at the low-cut dress hanging on the rack next to her.

"Put it on."

Chen Mang picked up the remote control and projected the variety show that Ji Chuchu had once starred in on the screen again. After Ji Chuchu changed, he looked her up and down a few times and chuckled, "Saucy enough."

"It's good if Boss Mang likes it."

This dress was made with 500 units of wood, a high-quality garment. After putting it on, she finally had the temperament of a female celebrity.

"Then I'm coming, Boss Mang."

"Mm."

"No!"

In the crowd, the middle-aged man finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared at his wife next to him: "Are you not done yet? Do you have some obsession with houses?"

"You lived in your mother's womb for ten months."

"Did it give you muscle memory?"

"I struggled for 20 years before the apocalypse to finally pay off the mortgage. Now you want me to buy a house again. I'm already over forty, can I still do it? 10 units of iron ore a day is already a lot, I can't mine anymore!"

"Divorce!"
