CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 101: "WHY THE HELL IS IT ANOTHER DAMN TREADMILL!

But compared to mechas, exoskeleton armor still has some drawbacks.

For example...

If it were a mecha, it might come equipped with heavy firepower weapons like shoulder-mounted rocket launchers and handheld Gatling guns, but these aren’t really major issues. If such a level of firepower is needed, it’s not like his train is just for show.

To this end!

The four customizable parts of his train, upgraded to Level 3, have now all been maxed out to Level 10.

He’s out of resources.

"..."

Chen Mang leaned back in his chair, turning his head to watch the slaves working outside the window. If they finish today’s work in half a day, and work another day tomorrow, they should just about complete this iron mine and be able to go search for the next one.

Moreover...

He looked up at the underground river trajectory map of the "Tieling Wasteland" on the console screen and chuckled.

He can’t control the Constant Star Train to measure every inch of land in the Tieling Wasteland. It’s quite vast, and that would waste so much time. The last time he went to the ruins of Taiping City, he scavenged a lot of information from the library.

Among them was the trajectory diagram of several underground rivers in the "Tieling Wasteland".

The iron mine he’s currently at is also in an underground river cave. Through several rounds of underground mining, he found that the underground iron mines almost always appear in these caves. With this map...

He doesn’t have to search aimlessly like a headless fly across the Tieling Wasteland anymore.

By searching along the underground river’s path, he can basically find about seventy percent of the deep underground mining sites in Tieling Wasteland.

As for the remaining thirty percent...

One shouldn’t be too greedy.

Come nighttime, he plans to build a "Combat Training Virtual Space" in the train compartment, which should be quite fun.

Of course, what piqued his interest most wasn’t the idea of fighting against others; it seemed a bit lacking in excitement. He wasn’t particularly interested in the ranked matches that connect with other trains either. He was more intrigued by the solo training missions.

He could indulge his assassin fantasies.

On only his second attempt, he successfully assassinated an enemy using a high-level technique known as the Leap of Faith. After playing a few more times, he’s sure he could achieve perfect, damage-free completion.

...

"What’s your name?"

Biaozi coldly asked the robust woman who was mining.

"I..."

Seeing that Biaozi had found her, the woman replied somewhat nervously, "My name is Zhang San."

"Zhang San?"

Biaozi frowned, "Do you have a brother named Li Si? I’m asking for your real name."

"My real name is Zhang San."

The woman hurriedly explained.

"I have two older brothers, the eldest is Zhang Yi, the second is Zhang Er."

"It’s just that... although we were all in Taiping City, we got separated when Doomsday came and haven’t had a chance to meet up again. They’re probably dead now. My two brothers were very strong."

"Stronger than you?"

"Stronger than me."

After thinking for a moment, the woman explained, "They once lifted a treadmill in the gym and even carried it on their backs while running laps. Very strong, but a bit single-minded."

"Uh... did I do something wrong?"

"Master Mang needs new thugs, and I’ve taken a liking to you."

"Thugs?"

The woman was slightly taken aback, then cautiously asked, "Biao, I know slaves can buy man meat through the amount they mine. How do thugs buy man meat?"

"Through working hours and contribution points. If you perform well, Master Mang will reward you. Follow me, and let’s test your skills."

"Just having strength isn’t enough."

"Thugs need to go on external missions and fight monsters, requiring the right mindset and combat skills."

Biaozi said no more.

He just turned and walked straight towards the No. 5 thug compartment, and Zhang San quietly followed him inside.

I must say, the "Combat Training Virtual Space" is indeed a wonderful thing. With it, you can engage in life-and-death battles freely, which allows you to observe someone’s combat strength and potential between life and death more intuitively.

Although this woman’s body is indeed very strong, with great strength.

Whether she can become a thug isn’t just about strength. If she gets scared and can’t move at the sight of blood, then she’s definitely not suitable.

...

White space, on the arena.

Biaozi, with a cold expression and dagger in hand, stood on the arena facing Zhang San, who looked like a towering mountain, "The moment the countdown ends, the fight begins. When one person dies, the fight ends."

"The injuries received here won’t carry over to the outside world."

"Use your strongest attack methods."

"Remember, I won’t go easy on you just because you’re a woman, and hopefully, you won’t go easy on me because I’m a thug. Going easy on me will only get you killed faster."

The next moment!

The countdown ended.

The two almost simultaneously launched towards each other...no, crashed into each other!

...

Thirty seconds later.

"I lost."

Zhang San, returning to the white space, looked at Biaozi with eyes full of shock, "Biao... Biao, you’re the strongest man I’ve seen. Even after crushing your balls, you still managed to endure the pain and thrust the dagger into my neck."

"I’m impressed."

This woman, standing at 1.8 meters tall with muscles all over her body, even had a twinkle in her eye as she looked at Biaozi.

Initially, she feared Biaozi because of his status. After all, Biaozi was a thug, and she was a slave, so she naturally had no temper and didn’t dare to be wanton in front of him.

But now she respected his strength.

This man, amazing!

"..."

Biaozi said nothing, only stood there silently with a blank expression, looking down at his pants. Was this the second time today?
