My Doomsday Train

Chapter 91 "What's your price?"

"I have the blueprint for a headlight component. What's your offer?"

A simple and clear sentence.

"What's your price?"

"5000 units of iron ore."

"That's too high. The blueprint for a white component isn't worth that much."

"You're currently ranked first on the Wasteland Train Leaderboard. You definitely don't lack that little bit of iron ore."

"Alright, send me your train coordinates, and I'll deliver it to you."

“.”

Inside the train compartment, Chen Mang narrowed his eyes slightly, playing with a handle in his hand—a sharpened branch with traces of brown blood.

This was a simple tool he made for self-preservation on the third day after he first transmigrated to this world.

He once used this branch to kill a man who came to provoke him.

Although with the current power of the train, he no longer needs this branch at all, this branch has a special sentiment for him, during those days when there was no sense of security and he could be buried in the wilderness at any time.

This ordinary branch gave him a weak and unique sense of security.

He didn't mind taking a trip to find this person, and by the way, rescue some survivors from this person's train. He wasn't worried about not being able to support slaves now. The iron ore deep underground in the Tieling Wasteland was all his. He was only worried that there weren't enough slaves.

However, the other party didn't reply immediately, but after a long time, he replied again.

-

"1000 units of iron ore, is that okay?"

"Okay."

Is it that all trains actually have the ability to build all components, and blueprints are just a key to unlock these permissions?

And it's not that the blueprint itself gives the train the technology to manufacture this component.

Although this is like the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, it's all meaningless to think about.

But he can't help but think about it.

"Headlight."

A white component. He saw several trains with this component. It's not a very rare component, but he doesn't know why he doesn't have it.

It can not only be placed on the front of the train.

It can also be installed in various areas outside the carriage.

He built three of them and placed them on the front of the train, in the middle of the car body, and in the last carriage.

And it consumed 4400 units of iron ore to upgrade the "Headlight" placed on the front of the train to level 10. The upgrade of this component does not increase the brightness of the headlight, but only reduces energy consumption.

The component itself can have high beam or diffused beam.

The effect itself is quite strong.

And he obtained two super-mode effects.

-

"Headlight Level 5 Super-Mode Effect": Consuming one energy stone can instantly burst out an extremely dazzling strong light. The strong light effect depends on the level of the energy stone consumed.

"Headlight Level 10 Super-Mode Effect": None.

-

“Hmm?”

Chen Mang looked at these two super-mode effects and raised his eyebrows slightly. There's nothing to say about the first effect. It's just a flash effect, which is an auxiliary effect and within his expectations.

But he didn't expect that the second super-mode effect would be none.

This was the first time he had seen a super-mode effect whose description was "None."

That is to say, not every component has a super-mode effect at the corresponding level. Some components do not have a corresponding super-mode effect when the level reaches a certain level.

Good.

It seems that he doesn't need to consider upgrading the "Headlight" component in the future. Level 1 is basically enough. The dazzling strong light effect is rarely used most of the time and is a soft control skill.

At least he can't think of any place where this effect can be used so far.

But when these three "Headlights" were all connected to the engine through the circuit system, the cavern, which originally had only some weak light sources, suddenly became extremely bright, and the strong light dispelled all shadows.

The consumption is not too much, far lower than the "Oxygen Generator."

“.”

As the cavern became extremely bright, Chen Mang also clearly saw all the slaves who were working for the first time, and also saw a dozen slaves in the corner in the distance who were defecating. Sometimes it's not necessary to see so clearly.

When the number reaches the level of four digits.

Defecating and urinating are major events.

It doesn't matter in the wilderness. If you hold it in on the train, you can defecate anywhere when the train is being repaired. But you can't defecate anywhere in the cavern. So, Old Zhu arranged a circle of areas for them to use as toilets.

But after all,

There are more than a thousand people, and people have three urgent needs. Not everyone can hold it in. He used to be in Grandpa Kun's train, and it was common for those slaves to defecate in the carriages. If the train is speeding, it is impossible to repair it in place for one person's urgent needs.

The train urgently needs a toilet.

But he hasn't seen the "Toilet" component blueprint either. If it really doesn't work, he can build two refrigerators to use as toilets. That big place is enough to use, and then arrange people to go in and clean it at a fixed time every day.

Although it's a bit crude, it's not impossible.

I have to say -

"Refrigerator" is really a good component.

When energized, it is a large cold storage. When not energized, it can be used as a warehouse and can also be used as a dormitory. Now it can also be used as a toilet. If you are in a bad mood one day, you can also use it to make soap.

It's simply omnipotent.

This incident reminded him that there are now many people on the train, and there is a need for other positions besides "Thugs" and "Slaves", such as cleaners, who need to clean the carriages regularly.

When he went to the No. 10 Goblin carriage today to check the "Oxygen Machine", it was so dirty that he didn't want to set foot in it.

He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie.

“Old Zhu.”

“Didn’t more than 60 female slaves choose to mine yesterday? Women are still not as good as men in mining. You go and pick out ten capable ones to be responsible for cleaning the train.”

“Then pick a young, good-looking one with a flexible mind who is not stubborn, and be responsible for cleaning my train compartment.”

“The treatment is still based on level 3 slaves, and promoted according to the number of working days.”

“Understood.”

After arranging this matter.

Chen Mang then looked at the train panel.

There are still more than a thousand units of iron ore and more than 130,000 copper ore in the train.

It was originally 140,000 copper ore. A few thousand units of copper ore were consumed in Kunlun Mountain to kill those dozen pangolins. In fact, the vehicle crossbow could also be used to kill them completely, but the heavy machine gun damage was faster, and the attack speed was faster and more stable.

A little slower, that group of pangolins would have entered the belly of that "Rock Serpent."

The copper ore is mined for use.

Being stingy and reluctant to use it, which leads to missing a good opportunity, is called foolishness.

The iron ore is basically running out, but it doesn't matter. When this batch of slaves finishes their work today, a large amount of iron ore will be received.

In a while, I'll go chop some wood. There aren't many train parts that use wood, but that "clothing customization production line" needs wood to make clothes, and I've been wearing this outfit for a long time.

Although it's been washed a few times, it's still a bit inconvenient.

When the time comes, I'll make myself a well-fitting outfit, and also make a new set of clothes for the slave thugs.

Thinking of this.

Chen Mang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He almost forgot that this outfit was from his previous life. From the initial difficulty in accepting it to now, he has gradually integrated into this world, and the memories of his previous life have become increasingly blurred.

From a certain perspective, this world is a bit more free.

As long as it's something he can imagine, he can turn it into reality, as long as he has enough ability and means.

Soon—

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

A day ended. When thousands of slaves lined up to receive bread, Old Zhu was almost exhausted. When there were only 200 slaves before, it was no problem for Old Zhu to distribute food alone, but now it's impossible to distribute it all.

At Old Zhu's suggestion.

Ten people were selected from the women mining to take charge of some odd jobs.

As the train's population increased, there were also many more odd jobs.

Chen Mang had no objection to this. The Hengxing train, from the beginning of only having slaves and thugs, is gradually adding other positions, which also means that the train as a whole is subtly developing on a regular route.

One day.

A small society will form inside the Hengxing train.

And Chen Mang finally got today's harvest.

A full 110,000 units of iron ore.

These two level 2 iron mines, the "Resource Detection Radar" estimates that the mineable quantity is only 380,000 units of iron ore. According to this progress, these two iron mines can be completely mined in at most four days, which is much more efficient than when in the Abyss of Doom.

Although the new slaves are still not as efficient as the old slaves under training, the overall strength has improved a lot compared to before.

Sure enough.

It hurts to feed the slaves, but when you start harvesting, you feel that everything is worth it.

"It's all worth it."

Chen Mang specifically went to cargo carriage No. 3, looked at the refrigerator filled with level 2 iron ore, his eyes were full of emotion and gratification. He spent so much effort these past few days, rescuing survivors in Taiping City, and risking his life in Kunlun Mountain to find pangolins, what was it all for?

Isn't it for now?

After seeing these things, his hard work these days was swept away, it was all worth it.

Then.

He laughed. Next, it was time to start spending!

First of all, it's the "Wind Fire Wheels". The original level of the Wind Fire Wheels was level 5. It costs 35,000 units of iron ore to upgrade from level 5 to level 10. He was reluctant to upgrade at the time, but now that he doesn't lack iron ore, he will naturally upgrade the level of the Wind Fire Wheels as soon as possible.

In the wasteland.

Speed often represents safety, and sometimes it's even more useful than armor.

Theoretically speaking, as long as you run fast enough, it doesn't matter if the armor level is a little lower.

Each level increase of the Wind Fire Wheels will increase the speed limit by 20km per hour.

After being upgraded to level 10, the basic speed directly increased from the original 130km per hour to 230km per hour, which is only the speed limit added by the "Wind Fire Wheels" accessory.

Plus the basic speed of the level 2 train is 130km per hour.

The speed limit of the train directly reached 360km per hour.

Of course, this is theoretical data.

Because considering the train's own weight, the information given by the "Train Auxiliary AI" on the control panel is that the current speed limit of the Hengxing train when equipped with Wind Fire Wheels is—

322km/hour.

This speed can basically outrun almost all monsters in the wasteland. In fact, even in Kunlun Mountain, basically no monsters can catch up with him at this speed, except that the terrain in Kunlun Mountain does not allow the use of Wind Fire Wheels, only spider feet, and spider feet have a fixed speed limit.

"Huh?"

Chen Mang immediately noticed that the wheels composed of white dotted lines in the three-dimensional train stereogram on the control panel were constantly flashing.

He immediately walked out of the train room and looked at the Wind Fire Wheels below the Hengxing train, raising his eyebrows slightly: "So cool?"

The originally dark Wind Fire Wheels had now turned dark red.

Paired with the pitch-black train, it was quite a match. Since ancient times, black and red have been a classic color combination, and the wheels have become slightly larger, and the wheel hubs look more beautiful.

At the same time.

He looked at the supermodel effect of the Wind Fire Wheels after being upgraded to level 10.

-

"Wind Fire Wheels Level 10 Supermodel Effect": When speeding with the wind in windy weather, the Wind Fire Wheels will be ignited, and the speed will be greatly increased.

-

"Ignited?"

Chen Mang looked at this supermodel effect. To be honest, he was a little confused for a moment. It's okay in the wasteland, where the soil is dry and cracked. But what if he goes to the grassland one day, and the season that day is withered grass?

If the Wind Fire Wheels are ignited.

It will directly turn into an endless wildfire.

The ashes will all become fertilizer.

This effect... is a bit cool.

Chen Mang supported his chin with one hand and thought thoughtfully. He only saw windy weather once in the wasteland, which was when the tornado broke out a few days ago. The wind was quite strong that day. Although he was not affected by the tornado in the Abyss of Doom, he also felt that the wind was indeed not small.

Wait until there is windy weather in the wasteland again to try it out.

See what the effect is after the Wind Fire Wheels are ignited. This supermodel effect is actually within his expectations. Basically, the supermodel effect after upgrading any type of accessory is the same type.

For example, the supermodel effect of life-type accessories is life-type.

The supermodel effect of speed-type accessories is speed-type.

It doesn't exist that a life-type accessory, such as the "Refrigerator", suddenly becomes a bomb after upgrading, and it explodes wherever it is thrown. This is the underlying rule of this world, and there will basically be no deviation.

Of course, some unique accessories may give birth to some messy supermodel effects.

This effect is not bad.

He is quite satisfied.

In special weather, it can greatly increase the train's movement speed, making it easier to escape or travel.

Then he turned his attention to the "Train Auxiliary AI" accessory.

This accessory can be said to be the core functional accessory of the train at present.

Many accessories are connected to the "Train Auxiliary AI" accessory.

It cost 7,000 units of iron ore to upgrade from level 5 to level 10.

It only cost 2,000 units of iron ore to upgrade from level 1 to level 5, and the resources consumed to upgrade from level 5 to level 10 directly tripled.
