"..."
Chen Mang tilted his head to glance at Old Pig, didn't say much, just gently patted his shoulder, then returned to his own train compartment.
And those iron ores have long been moved back to Cargo Warehouse No. 2.
A total of 1101 units of iron ore.
A total of 81 slaves, to create such an amount of iron ore in a day, truly belongs to overburdened mining.
...
"Got money again, huh."
In the train compartment, Chen Mang looked at the resource quantity on the "Train Panel" and couldn't help but laugh, whatever about women.
Sex harms the body.
Moderation is key.
Currently, of the seven "Vehicle Accessories" required for train upgrades, he has only two left to make, namely "Wagon Steel Armor" and "Axe Production Line."
Creating these two things requires at least 1100 units of iron ore.
Just enough.
Not too much, not too little.
The axes produced on the "Axe Production Line" are used for harvesting wood. The size of this production line is the same as the "Pickaxe Production Line," which he also placed in Cargo Compartment No. 2.
And "Wagon Steel Armor" creation requires consuming 1000 units of iron ore per carriage.
He naturally chose the train head first.
As those iron ores placed in Compartment No. 2 all turned to ashes and fused into the compartment, Chen Mang walked out of the train compartment and looked at the surface of the train head with that thick armor, and nodded with a satisfied expression.
He knocked it experimentally with his knuckles, could hear an extremely muffled echo.
-
"Accessory Name": Wagon Steel Armor.
"Accessory Grade": Green.
"Accessory Level": Level 1.
"Accessory Effect": Can completely immune all damage from Level 1 bullets and Level 1 creatures, offering a certain defense effect against Level 2 bullets and Level 2 creatures.
"Upgrade Condition": 5000 units of iron ore.
-
No wonder it requires 1000 units of iron ore to create, it's worth the price!
Not only does it look reassuring, the panel looks tough enough.
Chen Mang stood a few meters away, took up his "Soaring Dragon Assault Rifle," aimed at the armor on the train head and fired a round.
"Ratatat!"
After exhausting the round of bullets, Chen Mang approached to observe. The armor on the train head didn't even have a dent, just a few scratches on the paint, it was indeed completely immune.
His "Soaring Dragon Assault Rifle Production Line" is Level 1, so the rifles produced are naturally Level 1 rifles and Level 1 bullets.
He even specially targeted the train head's glass with half a round.
Still not a single mark.
Although the armor is not visible in front of the glass, the glass shares the armor's strength. If all the compartments of the train outside had "Wagon Steel Armor" at Level 2 or even Level 3, then even if a corpse tide comes again, the train would remain still without those zombies being able to break through the defense.
"Very good!"
Chen Mang nodded with satisfaction, those 1000 units of iron ore were well spent, though spent a bit quickly, his 81 slaves worked tirelessly for a whole day, and he spent it all in an instant.
Just 1 unit of iron ore left.
Truly earning money is like squeezing toothpaste, spending money is like flowing water.
Suddenly he felt a bit grateful that he was tied up as a slave by Master Kun right after crossing over, otherwise without those 81 slaves in the beginning, life would have been tough, and he would have to mine personally.
Master Kun is a good person.
If there's a chance in the future, he'd erect a monument for Master Kun and burn some incense.
Henceforth—
He has already created all seven essential vehicle accessories required for upgrading to a Level 1 train, and now he's just one step away from upgrading to a Level 2 train.
-
"Upgrade Condition": Requires owning 4 compartments, all seven essential vehicle accessories completed, and consuming 5000 units of Level 1 iron ore.
-
He currently has 3 compartments.
By then, add another slave compartment, and then accumulate enough to 5000 units of iron ore, it would be enough to upgrade to a Level 2 train.
If there are no unforeseen circumstances, it'd only take five days.
Everything is developing in a positive direction.
Though he's reminded.
Once the train reaches Level 2, he should prioritize upgrading the "Soaring Dragon Assault Rifle Production Line" to Level 2, so the future Soaring Dragon Assault Rifles won't face a situation where they can't break the defense of other trains' Level 1 armor.
Defense and attack both need to be grasped.
...
Tonight is destined to be an unforgettable night.
The slave compartment stinks, everyone chose to frolic and play outside the train, having a great time, quite lively.
Biaozi and a group of thugs stood not far away watching this scene, after a long time, Biaozi couldn't help but laugh, somewhat infected by the atmosphere: "So lively, back in Master Kun's hands, it never looked like this."
"Well..."
Standing beside him, Heiwa whispered regretfully: "Suddenly a little regret being chosen as a thug, actually I'm quite strong."
Biaozi looked disdainfully at Heiwa: "Look at your lack of ambition, we are thugs, one level higher than slaves."
"If Mang God can give slaves something like this, wouldn't he give us something better?"
Heiwa awkwardly scratched his head and mumbled: "It's not about eating well or not, just feels the atmosphere is lively, ever since Doomsday came, it's been a while since we had such liveliness, also want to join in for fun."
"..."
Biaozi paused, then looked with a somewhat dazed expression at the scene not far away, indeed... since Doomsday descended, it's really been a long time since it was so lively.
In the high-risk environment of Doomsday.
Everyone's nerves are tense, each Train Captain almost has some unacceptable quirks, when one stays in a high-risk environment for too long and suddenly advances, without the constraints of law and morality, they're bound to engage in some extreme actions to relieve stress.
This is an objective pattern.
Yet Mang God seems to have no quirks at all, mentally completely normal, neither moody nor plays with women, etc., this sounds like Mang God has a bigger issue!
...
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the fifth day.
The horizon just started to brighten.
Chen Mang has already gotten up early, washed and stood inside the train compartment, folded his hands and murmured with closed eyes: "Heaven, bless us, let there be another peaceful day, even if today is the last day."
All four days were safely passed, all slaves' minimum mined quantity per day is at least 12 units.
Truly overburdened mining.
As long as today also goes smoothly, his train can naturally upgrade to a Level 2 train, which would be a significant enhancement.
Not to mention.
With the "Train Radio" and "Energy Stone" produced from the "Crafting Platform," he could be assured of exploring the wasteland at full speed, searching for higher-level iron ore and opportunities.
He passed these days with anxiety, after all, when Master Kun started mining not long before, a Corpse Tide's encirclement came, it was obvious that the wasteland was truly ever-changing.
To successfully mine for 4 days, he is already quite satisfied.
Of course...
If today can again be mined smoothly, he'd be even more satisfied!
