CHAPTER 154: CHAPTER 117: LEVEL 30 SPIDER LEGS. _2

-

Not bad for a supermodel effect.

Chen Mang looked cheerfully at the supermodel effect in front of him. Now the train had yet another way of advancing. When facing harsher and different terrains, there were more choices available.

Considering the current efficiency of the train’s residents.

In about half a month, they should just about finish mining all the mines inside, and by then, most of the train’s necessary upgrades would also be completed, just in time to venture into the "Heaven-Reaching Tower."

...

Time flew by quickly.

Five days passed swiftly.

Everyone’s enthusiasm for work was extremely high. The 400 survivors quickly integrated into the Fixed Star, and some of the faster ones even almost rose to Level 2 resident treatment.

Within these five days, all three Level 2 mines had been completely exploited.

The speed was relatively fast; these three Level 2 iron mines had a relatively high content.

Chen Mang sat inside the train, gazing at the Train Panel’s iron ore resources. Adding the iron ore originally present in the train, there were now a total of 1.481 million units of iron ore in the train, enough to start being extravagant!

"Phew...!"

He took a deep breath and consumed 95,000 units of iron ore to upgrade the "Missile Carriage No. 14" open-air carriage to Level 6, then consumed 1.05 million units of iron ore to upgrade the missiles to Level 6.

This piece was currently his most iron-consuming component. Suffice it to say that the red-grade components indeed consumed a large amount, but this piece could definitely justify the resources spent.

He truly couldn’t hold back and wanted to throw one of these into the Kunlun Mountain region.

How many things would drop?

Monster armor and "Train Armor" are somewhat different. A Level 6 missile can break a Level 6 monster’s armor but cannot break a Level 6 armor’s armor, as armor effects completely defend against any damage of the same level.

It’s just...

How many people can upgrade the "Wagon Steel Armor" to Level 6?

After upgrading the train to Level 4, there was a new buildable component available called "Energy Shield." This component, when collided with that train deep underground, was equipped by the other party.

It is a high-grade defense component, capable of upgrading to a maximum of Level 5.

However, the "Energy Shield" component can only defend against energy attacks such as "Energy Cannon" and "Giant Dragon Breath." Close physical attacks from monsters on the train cannot be reached.

Only in one situation can it block physical attacks.

That is to upgrade the "Energy Shield" to Level 5 and obtain the corresponding supermodel effect. Activating the supermodel effect allows the energy shield to block physical attacks, but it requires consuming large amounts of Energy Stones.

"What a fancy gadget."

Chen Mang smirked. On the "Shahe Plain," apart from Level 6 trains, the maximum defense level of almost all trains was only Level 6. His Level 6 missiles are more than sufficient as long as they don’t encounter Level 6 trains.

But using them just to bombard trains feels like a waste.

After all, the price of a Level 6 missile isn’t cheap either.

It requires a full 300,000 units of copper ore.

The price of Level 5 missiles, however, is cheaper, only needing 200,000 units of copper ore. He hasn’t crafted it for now, waiting to craft suitable missiles of corresponding grades when needed.

"Phew..."

Chen Mang exhaled deeply as he looked out at the train residents working outside. Next, he just had to wait for these residents to excavate the remaining 2 copper mines. The speed was much faster than expected.

That way, before going to the Heaven-Reaching Tower, he could take a trip to Shahe City.

See if he could get some pickled cabbage noodles or something to host a feast for everyone. Although not everyone could get much meat, even smelling the aroma of meat would suffice. Quite a few people hadn’t smelled meat since Doomsday, living almost like vegetarians.

...

"Is this okay?"

On the Shahe Plain, inside the Azure Dragon train, a bald man frowned as he looked at the Deputy Train Captain: "In ten days, we’re supposed to be going to the Heaven-Reaching Tower with the Fixed Star Train. You can’t see the leaderboard, so you don’t have a concrete understanding of the train’s strength."

"But let me tell you clearly."

"The Fixed Star Train has S-grade potential and completed an S-grade difficulty mechanical train transformation. It’s the first on the Shahe Plain, and although it’s currently only a Level 4 train, its future rise might be faster than you and I imagine."

"Moreover, the other party’s current strength might not be much weaker than our Level 5 Azure Dragon train."

"Take a few days to tidy up the train’s overall appearance, leave a good impression on the other side, and maybe we can be friends in the future."

"But..."

The Deputy Train Captain tentatively spoke, "Dan, didn’t you say it was the Fixed Star Train that caused your maze mission to fail? And now you’re going to explore the Heaven-Reaching Tower together, is that appropriate?"

"Why wouldn’t it be?"

The bald man rolled his eyes at his Deputy Train Captain, then picked up a razor and continued to clean the stubble on his head in front of the mirror: "Do I have to hold a grudge against the Fixed Star Train and see it as my greatest enemy in life?"

"That’s just pure foolishness."

"Why provoke a rival for no reason? Doomsday is already very dangerous, with monsters everywhere, and you still want to create a life-and-death enemy for yourself like that? You’re just afraid you might live too long."

"If by any chance the ’Heaven-Reaching Tower’ adventure map requires cooperation, maybe everyone will have some exposure. I’ve heard that some cooperative maps require everyone on two trains to work together."

"We’re a Level 5 train, after all."

"Although continued fighting isn’t good, coming out ahead of others is also a plus. In these days, let’s give the slaves new clothes, and everyone can switch into new outfits by then."

"You can tidy up other areas as you see fit."

"I think I understand." The Deputy Train Captain nodded thoughtfully: "Dan, you’re looking for face?"

"Exactly."

The bald man looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction, his shiny bald head gleaming: "Gotta bring some face. Let that guy know, although I was defeated once, the foundation of an old train is still there."

"Understood, I’ll get to it."

...

Very soon —

The last 2 copper mines in the swamp wasteland were also completely mined, currently storing a total of 1.05 million units of copper ore in the train.

"Set sail!"

Chen Mang sat in the control room, looking at the numbers of resources on the screen, quite satisfied. He pushed the lever with a smile once more, and with a switch, the "spider legs" shot out of the swamp, aiming for Shahe City!

And at the moment Chen Mang set off.

The middle-aged man in the train, who had been waiting outside, became immediately alert and excited upon seeing the alert on the Target Detection Radar, with eyes full of exhilaration: "Damn it... finally out."

"Waited for you for eight full days; having many slaves is great, mining speed is fast, and soon these slaves will all belong to me."

"Ha."

The man, sitting in a corner, covered in bruises and cuts, couldn’t resist sarcastic comments: "If you did the math, you’d know that even if you got all those 1,000 slaves, you wouldn’t sustain them."

"If I can’t sustain them, I’ll sell them."

The Train Captain sitting in front of the control panel didn’t mind the sarcasm at all, just quickly picked up the intercom: "Gather all the thugs, get ready to work. After I scrap that train, it’s your turn to go down."

On the other end of the intercom was his younger brother. After securing this train’s control, he went over it again with his brother, successfully completing the C-grade difficulty transfer task for the train.

Then he stood up, placing both hands on the control panel, looking with excitement at the rapidly approaching red dot on the Target Detection Radar.

He was naturally aware of the recent attention Fixed Star Train had been getting.

But —

Without some real skills, he wouldn’t dare to be out here.

Just as the red dot on the Target Detection Radar rapidly approached.

"Boom!"

Amidst the massive turning of gears, a huge cannon with a diameter as large as two or three oil barrels extended slowly from a carriage!!!
