My Doomsday Train

#114 - This coffee tastes authentic only if you buy it yourself.

"Stop teasing me, Pig Foreman."

Biaozi shook his head helplessly, forcing a smile. After taking a bottle of mineral water and drinking it all, he wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth: "Neither of us can buy a train order. We both know what kind of people we are, and we can't sit in that position."

"What's more."

"Haven't you ever played online games?"

"Joining a large guild in an online game yields far greater benefits than building a small one yourself."

"Alright, I won't chat with you anymore. I'm going back to patrol."

With that said, Biaozi took the guard's food, greeted Old Pig, and left. The train now offers many benefits, but all benefits are conditional on the residents working diligently.

If you do well, you will be rewarded.

But if you want to be lazy and can't even mine the basic 10 units of iron ore in a day.

Then I'm sorry, the train has both bread and batons.

The former will fill you up, and the latter will clean you out.

Mining in the cave is generally safe. His main task is to prevent accidents during patrols, such as fights and quarrels, and to supervise.

Three days later.

As the whistle blew, many residents stopped their work. Under the guards' maintenance of order, they began to collect their food for the day in an orderly manner, and "Stellar Vouchers" were distributed based on the amount of iron ore mined above the guaranteed minimum for the day.

"Mm."

Uncle Li, sitting on the stool, looked at the number on the resident's collar in front of him: "Resident number 117, you mined 7 units of iron ore above the guaranteed minimum in the past few days, plus 3 units today, just enough for 10 units. Here's your Stellar Voucher."

"Thank you, thank you."

The resident with the number 117 embroidered on his collar gratefully and excitedly took the Stellar Voucher made of a mineral water bottle cap, then quickly left to make way for the person behind him.

Stellar Vouchers are made from "mineral water bottle caps."

Placing the mineral water bottle cap on the ground and having the train run over it creates a thin piece, which serves as a security measure.

It's absolutely impossible to squeeze a bottle cap to this extent with a pickaxe or other means. As for larger movements... with so many eyes around, if someone really had the ability to do that, they could be directly recruited as a high-level talent. They would be quite a talent.

This kind of security measure is sufficient for the current stage of the train.

After all, the conditions are simple, and there are no overly advanced methods.

In the past few days, Uncle Li has assigned numbers to all residents, including middle-level managers, to calculate the daily mining volume and Stellar Vouchers, which saves some time.

The man who received the Stellar Voucher carefully stuffed it into his pocket and zipped it up. After swallowing all the food he received, he continued to mine iron ore with his pickaxe, not daring to stop for a moment.

It's now the end of the workday.

Basically, many people go back to sleep after receiving their food.

But...

He wanted to work a little longer. The iron ore mined at this time can be submitted together with the iron ore mined tomorrow night, so he can earn more Stellar Vouchers. After all, there isn't mining available every day, so he should mine more when he can.

Only...

The man looked enviously at the goblins in the distance who seemed tireless. The goblins seemed to have endless stamina. Most importantly... according to the old-timers on the train, those goblins have no intelligence and are like robots, except for that goblin named Doba who is intelligent.

All the goblins listen to Doba's commands.

Moreover, this group of goblins mines a lot and earns Stellar Vouchers faster than them. All the Stellar Vouchers are handed over to Doba...

He's just like a slave owner. It's estimated that it won't be long before Doba has saved up 1000 Stellar Vouchers.

"Hehe..."

Doba, who was not tired at all, stopped, leaning on his pickaxe, and looked at the humans in the distance with joy in his eyes. He had already saved up more than two hundred Stellar Vouchers. All the goblins' Stellar Vouchers were in his hands. Even the Pig Foreman's speed of earning Stellar Vouchers was far inferior to his.

His goal is—

"That refrigerator!"

The first step in rebuilding the goblin civilization is, of course, to have its own territory. He wants to buy as many refrigerators as possible so that his people have enough territory. Although his people have lost their intelligence, it doesn't matter. He believes that one day his people will recover.

If he can recover, his people certainly can too.

Moreover, this human prophet is really amazing.

The development speed of the Stellar Train is much faster than his goblin train. The human prophet didn't deceive him. He can really help him rebuild the goblin civilization. He just needs to keep working hard at mining to make the train develop faster.

"Work!"

"Let those foolish humans see what tireless and great goblins are!"

Full of energy, Doba started to swing his pickaxe again and kept mining.

Iced cola not only tastes great and greatly enhances stamina, but also restores energy, and the price is extremely cheap. 10 bottles of cola only cost 1 Stellar Voucher, and you don't have to take them all at once. The person managing the store will help him count and store them.

"Brother Mang is really a good person."

A young man drank the cola in his hand in one gulp, burped out the carbon dioxide, and felt his body full of strength again after the cola entered his stomach. He took a deep breath and started working hard through the night under the light of the locomotive's headlights!

He had done the math.

As long as he drinks 3 bottles of cola a day, he can extend his mining time to 18 hours a day. He only needs to sleep for 6 hours, and he is full of energy. The cola is very effective in restoring strength.

This way, it only costs 1 Stellar Voucher every three days.

But in these three days, he can earn 3 Stellar Vouchers by mining above the guaranteed minimum, which is equivalent to purely earning 2 Stellar Vouchers. It's very cost-effective!

Only...

He didn't tell anyone about this. At first, he was the only one doing this, but soon he found that more and more people seemed to have discovered his secret and were imitating him. It was annoying. Don't these people have their own brains?

"..."

Inside the train car.

Chen Mang, who wanted to fall asleep but couldn't because of the clanging sound of mining outside, sighed deeply and stood up with a complex expression, standing at the window and looking at the group of people outside.

He really wanted to say one thing.

Take a break, brothers.

This is not how you do things. The Great Wall was not built in a day. Don't work yourselves to death. Where is he going to find so many survivors?

These days.

The "Cola Production Line" accessory has been running almost continuously. His cost price for producing cola is 1 unit of iron ore per bottle, and the selling price in the store is 10 bottles for 1 Stellar Voucher.

-

"Cola Production Line Level 5 Supermodel Effect": Can choose to produce sugar-free cola or sugary cola.

"Cola Production Line Level 10 Supermodel Effect": After consumption, it can slowly restore physical strength.

-

This was the only food in the train that could restore physical strength. Back when he was in the Abyss of Doomsday, every slave was given a bottle every day to restore their strength.

After putting it on the store shelves, it immediately caused a scramble.

Many people directly consumed 3 bottles of cola a day, swinging their pickaxes and getting to work!

Mining efficiency was greatly improved!

Normally, in these three days, this group of residents could probably mine about 360,000 units of iron ore, but as a result... in these three days, they actually mined 510,000 units of iron ore, almost all voluntarily working overtime.

Some worked a few hours extra, while others only slept a few hours a day.

These two level 2 iron mines only had a total of 520,000 units of iron ore, and they almost emptied them in three days, leaving only 10,000 units of iron ore. At this rate, the mine would be completely mined out before dawn tomorrow.

"These people..."

Chen Mang sighed helplessly. When he used to give you all free cola, he never saw you working so hard every day. Now that it's your own money buying the cola, you're putting in the effort.

The initial results of this system reform are significant.

It's a bit similar to those white-collar workers in his previous world who had to buy their own coffee every day.

That coffee.

The taste of coffee you buy yourself is the most authentic. The company's coffee always feels a bit off, not pure.

And the iron ore units currently stored in the train have reached a full—

655,000 units of iron ore.

The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥hair!

Forget it, I won't sleep for now.

Chen Mang looked at the 3D diagram of the "Ground Blast Missile" on the control panel. This is currently the most powerful firepower weapon in his train, and also the only large red-grade firepower accessory.

Upgrading this accessory consumes iron ore, while crafting it consumes copper ore.

Crafting a level 1 "Ground Blast Missile" costs 10,000 units of copper ore.

Upgrading it to level 1 costs 50,000 units of iron ore.

He calculated that the cost of upgrading this accessory to level 5 would be 750,000 units of iron ore. He doesn't have that much iron ore right now, so he doesn't plan to upgrade it for the time being. He needs to find new mines tomorrow and is in dire need of iron ore.

And the missile in the train's 14th "Missile Car" is currently level 1.

It basically only serves as a deterrent.

This level is too low and has no effect on almost all monsters, so he plans to set it off as fireworks tomorrow during the day and see what happens.

The night is quiet.

Many people on the train are asleep, and even Doba is a little overwhelmed and preparing to go to sleep, but when he sees the seven or eight humans still mining, a trace of confusion flashes in his eyes.

These people...

Have they been transformed into goblins by the train?

How can they mine even better than them?

Are they not going to live to see tomorrow?

Finally, morning arrived.

The Stellar Train embarked on its journey again, switching to the Hot Wheels after drilling out of the ground and speeding towards the unknown, preparing to find new mines. Work efficiency has improved, but he can't keep up a bit.

Where is he going to find so much iron ore?

The train's speed gradually slowed down, eventually stopping on a plain. Under the urging and shouts of Old Zhu and others, all the residents were driven off the train, standing around the train, staring blankly at their surroundings.

They didn't see any mines. Where are the mines?

Even the four hundred survivors were driven off the train, standing with everyone. These days, these four hundred survivors haven't been working, only given the most basic few slices of bread and a bottle of water every day, letting them starve while they eagerly watched the other Stellar Train residents.

They need to make these people have an urgent desire to join the Stellar Train and become official residents so that they can work hard.

Just then—

Under everyone's gaze, the mechanical gate on the top of the last carriage of the Stellar Train, the 14th missile car, slowly opened amidst the sound of gears colliding. Then, a missile with a jet-black body and terrifying power was slowly pushed out by the elevator platform, pointing diagonally at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

When they saw this scene!

Almost everyone's breathing subconsciously stopped, their eyes full of shock. This... this is a missile? Does the Stellar Train have missiles? Even the more than 400 new survivors who joined the Stellar Train were full of disbelief. No wonder their train was destroyed.

The missiles are displayed here. Who can beat this!

The next moment!

The Ground Blast Missile lurked on the launch pad, the unique metallic friction hum of the hydraulic system like a trapped beast grinding its teeth, and the train's external sound system also sounded the cold and mechanical electronic voice of the "Train Auxiliary AI".

"10."

"9."

"."

"1."

When the countdown reached zero, the air within a ten-mile radius seemed to solidify into cellophane in an instant, and then a large amount of white mist instantly covered the entire train like a giant beast breathing, and the train even trembled slightly due to the powerful thrust, and the flames instantly dyed the white mist red!

I saw a missile bursting out of the flames with a piercing sonic boom, shooting towards the sky in an arc with an orange-red tail flame!

A few seconds later.

"Boom!"

On the plain thousands of meters away, a blazing white flame burst out of the ground like a volcanic eruption, and a deafening explosion sounded, like a thousand bronze bells resonating in the depths of the bone marrow and body.

A mushroom-shaped cloud of ash then slowly rose into the air.

All the train residents who got off the train almost unanimously opened their mouths subconsciously after witnessing this scene, looking at the distant scene with disbelief and shock, as if the afterglow of the explosion still remained beside their eardrums.

I don't know how long it took.

When the first cheer sounded, all the train residents reacted and shouted and cheered with excitement.

The launch of this missile told all the residents one thing.

The "Stellar" is strong enough.

As long as they can stay on the Stellar Train, the train can protect the safety of all the residents inside the train to the greatest extent. This test firing made many train residents more confident in the Stellar Train, and also added a trace of pride.

In the doomsday.

Can other trains have the strength of their train?

In these days, there are also many people who are not so hardworking in mining. The main reason is that they have been transferred to many trains. They have seen too many stories of train destruction. What's the use of earning more Stellar Coupons? If the train is destroyed one day, these are all bubbles that will burst with a poke.

But now—

No one has this idea anymore.

Almost everyone firmly believes that the Stellar Train can continue to develop until it becomes Noah's Ark in the doomsday, taking them to find a pure land in this world full of despair without hope!
