My Doomsday Train
#161 - “Is the profit so high?”
“Sell some cigarettes before leaving.”
Chen Mang looked at the train radio and immediately composed a message in the chat box.
«Stellar Train» : Selling various living supplies, cigarettes, tea, rice noodle rolls, pig's trotter rice, coffee, etc. No face-to-face transactions needed. Low prices, remote transactions available. Direct private messages only. Offer ends at noon today, don't miss out.
Almost the instant the message was pinned to the top.
Two people sent private messages.
Previously, living supplies like "bread" and "rou jia mo" (meat sandwiches) were similar to what others had on the train, so the desire to buy wasn't strong.
But the living supplies he was selling now were not available on many trains.
They couldn't buy a lot, but buying a little to enjoy themselves was no problem.
At the «Iron Ridge Wasteland» gathering, the general market price was 200 units of iron ore for a carton of cigarettes, equivalent to 20 units of iron ore for a pack. Of course, the price would definitely be higher in the Sand River Plain.
After all, the price of a product, in addition to its inherent value, largely depends on the local consumption level.
In the White Zone, everyone didn't have much iron ore in their pockets.
So the price of cigarettes could only be sold at that price.
But in the Sand River Plain, everyone had a little more money, so the price could be more expensive.
“.”
Chen Mang glanced at the train radio. In such a short time, seven or eight people had inquired. Besides his products being scarce and tempting, remote transactions were also a big factor.
Few people would specifically drive their train out just to buy a carton of cigarettes.
But with remote transactions, it was very quick and convenient.
He didn't look at the messages, handing over the control of the train radio entirely to Xiao Ai, who transformed into a professional customer service representative, confirming needs and negotiating prices while simultaneously controlling the production of the No. 4 production line parts, and having people send the items to his train compartment. Then, Xiao Ai would place the items on that "scale" for remote transactions.
Quite busy.
“What a pity.”
Chen Mang looked at the well-organized Xiao Ai with some regret: "If it were peacetime, with a helper like you, I could directly open a customer service outsourcing company and make who knows how much money."
“Forget the three-minute response rate, we'd have a three-second response rate.”
He had worked in e-commerce for a while in his previous world. In the early stages, he couldn't afford customer service, so he worked as customer service himself, and the three-minute response rate almost gave him a nervous breakdown.
Chen Mang stopped managing the transaction and handed it all over to Xiao Ai.
He stepped off the train.
After setting up tables and chairs on the plain, he asked Xiao Fang to bring a few more servings and invited Er Dan to have breakfast together.
“See which flavor you like.”
Chen Mang smiled and picked up a chopstick of crab roe and sent it into his mouth. The sour cowpeas and chopped peppers mixed with the aroma of the rice noodle rolls instantly invaded his taste buds, and he nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, the taste is okay, you try it."
“So extravagant?”
Er Dan rubbed his hands together excitedly and didn't stand on ceremony. He immediately picked up his chopsticks and devoured the three servings of rice noodle rolls in front of him: "Brother, I saw that your message was pinned directly to the top of the train radio's chat box?"
“Could this also be the supermodel effect of the train radio?”
“Yes.”
Chen Mang ate very quickly. He didn't waste a single serving of the three rice noodle rolls, eating them all. Only then did he take a satisfied sip of hot tea, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, shook out a cigarette, and said with a smile.
“Sometimes it's quite useful. You can upgrade it later and try it.”
“Try it.”
“These are cigarettes made from rare tobacco leaves. I only sell ordinary tobacco leaves on the train radio.”
Rare tobacco leaves, 100 units of iron ore per pack.
Cigarettes are consumables, and non-essential consumables at that, so this price is indeed very expensive.
But for him alone, it's not a problem, he can afford it.
But speaking of which.
Zhang Damei has been getting more and more arrogant recently. Those wandering zombies are at least a thousand meters away from the train. Looking at the route, it doesn't seem like they can run to the train, but Zhang Damei rushed over and killed those zombies.
Even if the «Executioner» mecha doesn't consume much energy.
One Level 2 energy stone can last for 100 hours of full-strength combat.
But you can't waste it like this.
This kid, doesn't manage the household, doesn't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt.
Time came to noon.
The prompt sound in the train radio hadn't sounded for a long time. Basically, those who were willing to buy had already bought everything.
“Gross profit of 168,800 units of iron ore, cost of 4,920 units of iron ore.”
Xiao Ai's voice sounded in the train compartment.
“Is the profit that high?”
Chen Mang clicked his tongue. It cost him 10 units of iron ore to produce a carton of cigarettes, and he sold it for 400 units of iron ore. Honestly, selling a carton of cigarettes for only 400 units of iron ore, he felt he was already very kind.
That's only a 40-fold profit.
He worked so hard for so long to get the «Tobacco Production Line» blueprint. It wouldn't be a problem for him to make some money, right?
“Very good.”
He smiled, picked up the hot tea on the side and took a sip. He didn't waste any more time and immediately steered the train towards the «Kunlun Mountains» area.
Target —
Pass through the Kunlun Mountains and head to the yellow zone, «Zombie Basin» .
The Azure Dragon Train followed closely behind.
They went together to the Kunlun Mountains area to test the waters, to see what the yellow zone was like. Zombie Basin, had anyone heard that even a Level 7 mechanical zombie king had died tragically at his hands?
“Plan change.”
In the Kunlun Mountains area, Chen Mang looked at a large, green moth fluttering its wings in the sky and immediately abandoned his plan to go to the Zombie Basin tonight. The enemy radar showed that the monster was the Level 5 boss, «Green Dragon» .
He immediately switched to the Bunny Cloud Wheel and quickly approached in mid-air!
As long as he killed this Green Dragon, he could drop the «Deep Sea Shield» part, and he could go to the Underwater Labyrinth to get the Morphy Stone. Only then would it be a perfect departure from the Sand River Plain.
He had already given up.
After all, the Green Dragon monster was too rare and didn't have a fixed territory, making it difficult to find its踪迹.
He had already comforted himself with the phrase "life can't be without regrets."
Unexpectedly, just before he set off, a miracle appeared!
Heaven was favoring him.
“You old man are really good to me, I wish you a long life!”
Chen Mang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the Green Dragon quickly fleeing on the enemy radar screen, and couldn't help but laugh. It was really a case of searching high and low without finding it, only to have it delivered effortlessly.
“Not...hey...hey, wait for me!”
“Damn it!”
With disbelief filling his eyes, Erdan sat in the train car, looking at the mechanical arm rapidly changing the wheels and the Stellaris, which had already disappeared from the radar range, and couldn't help but anxiously say.
How could the powerful backer he had finally found suddenly fly away?
The "Mechanical Arm" yellow-grade component was very rare. He had seen so many trains, but he was the only one who had it. He had obtained it from a certain adventure map, and he was always very proud of it.
Others would spend more than ten minutes to change a wheel.
He only needed one minute to change a wheel, and he didn't even need slaves to get out of the train to operate it. He could just sit in the train car and let the mechanical arm do it.
But...
But how the hell did the Stellaris take off from the spot?!
One second it was traversing the Kunshan area with spider legs just like him, and the next second the spider legs were suddenly retracted and switched to bunny cloud wheels?
He didn't even see a mechanical arm extend.
What kind of damn component's supermodel effect is this!
One minute later.
The bunny cloud wheels were finally successfully replaced, and the Azure Dragon train finally took off again, but... Erdan looked expressionlessly at the empty search radar, feeling a sense of茫然 (bá jiàn sì gù xīn mángrán - at a loss).
Where did his big brother go?
Who can tell him, where did his big brother run off to?
Moreover, the Green Dragon is not a gregarious monster. It is extremely rare in itself. He spent a lot of effort to kill that Green Dragon, knowing that there was a Green Dragon in the Kunlun Mountain area. He searched for it for several days before he found it.
As a result...
Today, he watched helplessly as the Stellaris didn't do anything, and a Green Dragon flew past him provocatively, as if afraid he wouldn't notice.
Pure luck.
Just then—
Chen Mang's voice came from the train radio.
"I'm going to kill this Green Dragon and go back to the Shahe Plain to take a look at that underwater maze. Are you coming with me or not?"
"I'll wait for you here."
Hearing Chen Mang's voice, Erdan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his big brother didn't mean to abandon him.
That Green Dragon was faster.
It's just that the Stellaris train was even faster.
"Doomsday Machine Gun has been successfully locked."
"Ready to fire at any time..."
"..."
Chen Mang frowned slightly, his thumb on the red button on top of the control stick, but he didn't press it for a long time. The Green Dragon in his field of vision was constantly flapping its wings, and from time to time it turned around and hovered in the air to look at him.
It seemed like a provocation, but also like... begging for mercy?
Begging for mercy?
No, it didn't seem like begging for mercy, more like leading the way.
Could it be...
Chen Mang thought of the foxtail grass outside his train head. According to Erdan, although the Green Dragon's level was not high, it was extremely mysterious because it had no fixed territory. So, if his luck was really good and he encountered this Green Dragon, the reason could only be one thing—
That is, this Green Dragon belongs to a special passenger.
"A passenger?"
Chen Mang narrowed his eyes slightly. After a long while, he still moved his thumb away from the red button and chose to give up firing. He would follow behind the Green Dragon for a while to see if this Green Dragon really meant to lead the way.
He wanted to see where it could take him.
It's just that this direction, as it flew, made a big circle in the air and flew back to the Shahe Plain.
One hour later.
The Green Dragon fell from the sky and landed on the shore of a lake.
This is exactly the coordinates of the "Underwater Maze" that Erdan sent him.
"Erdan."
Chen Mang picked up the walkie-talkie on the train radio and said softly: "When you killed that Green Dragon, did that Green Dragon stop and look at you as it flew, just like..."
"Just like a provocation, right?" Erdan's voice quickly came from the walkie-talkie: "I saw it, how could I indulge it? After closing the distance, a round of barrage from the Doomsday Machine Gun easily took it away!"
"..."
Chen Mang silently cut off the chat with Erdan. If nothing unexpected happened, this mysterious Green Dragon was really a mysterious passenger similar to a "Black Market Merchant", except that it was not like a Black Market Merchant, it could not be attacked.
More like...
Just then—
Several lines of text appeared in the control panel.
-
"Doomsday Adventure, Hell Green Dragon."
"Its whereabouts are uncertain. Any train may encounter the Hell Green Dragon. This is a monster that can be resurrected continuously. Because it swallowed the original blueprint of the 'Deep Sea Shield' component before its death, the only way to obtain the Deep Sea Shield is to kill the Hell Green Dragon."
"It is already dead."
"Only a damaged soul controls its already decayed body."
"Its only wish is to return to its roots."
"If you successfully send it home, you will receive a considerable reward."
-
"Is this foxtail grass so useful?"
Chen Mang looked at the line of words on the control panel screen, and at the moment, the Green Moth, which was quietly squatting by the lake, spitting out a blue component blueprint, with a scattered and dazed look, was looking at him.
It is said to be a Green Dragon.
But it looks more like the Western dragon from his previous world. There is nothing wrong with saying that it looks like a large moth.
Soon—
Zhang Damei controlled the mecha, jumped off the train, carried the giant axe on her back, and cautiously approached the Green Dragon, preparing to pick up the blue component blueprint that the Green Dragon spat out.
"Powerful Magnet" can only absorb items dropped by monsters.
This blueprint was not dropped after the monster died, but was spat out by the monster itself?
Therefore, it cannot be picked up.
Someone must be sent down to pick it up.
Everything went smoothly. When Zhang Damei approached, the Green Dragon only took a few steps back and did not make any dangerous moves.
The "Deep Sea Shield" blue-grade blueprint was retrieved very smoothly.
Immediately afterwards, the Green Dragon flapped its wings and landed on the train head, as if waiting for something.
The next moment!
A light blue energy shield completely enveloped the entire Stellaris train. This energy shield can help the Stellaris train resist water pressure and waterproof.
Although there was no communication between them, and no way to communicate.
But Chen Mang already understood the meaning of the Green Dragon. He immediately created the "Propeller" and upgraded it to level 10, and then, under the impetus of the level 6 "Auxiliary Universal Wheel".
The Stellaris train slowly approached the lake and plunged into the bottom of the water.
The propeller, which replaced the wheels, began to rotate rapidly.
Pushing the Stellaris train towards the depths of the lake.
And the Green Dragon was still quietly lying on the top of the train, without any extra movement. The lake water was all blocked by the energy shield and did not wet the Green Dragon.
Train, monster.
At this time, they were getting along quite harmoniously in this environment.
