CHAPTER 49: CHAPTER 49: ARRIVING AT DOOMSDAY ABYSS.

"Listen to me."

The Bloodthirsty Bull Train Captain looked seriously at Chen Mang: "I’m not teasing you, she is definitely valuable, otherwise I wouldn’t have brought her to the gathering."

"I know the Train Captain of the King of Electronic Music Train will also be at the gathering later."

"That guy is a dwarf and can’t resist tall women. This woman can be sold at a high price to him. I saw on the train radio that he also has spider silk for sale."

"You’ll definitely get all his spider silk in exchange for this woman."

"If you’re trading iron ore, he might not be willing to offer a high price, but if it’s spider silk, he’ll be delighted."

"..."

Chen Mang couldn’t help but laugh: "Didn’t you just say spider silk is a rare material? How come now spider silk isn’t worth more than iron ore?"

The man awkwardly coughed lightly.

"Spider silk is indeed a rare material, but it can be used in far fewer ways than iron ore. You should know this too."

"Deal."

Chen Mang didn’t say much and simply smiled as he completed the transaction.

He knew that the Train Captain of the King of Electronic Music Train had this fetish. Back on the train radio, a Train Captain mentioned having a 178 cm tall female slave waiting for a fated person, and he noticed that the Train Captain of the King of Electronic Music Train showed interest. With this, the spider silk in the King of Electronic Music’s possession was secured, especially since his woman is even taller, at 187 cm. He initially planned to trade the Train Order for it.

...

The Train Captain of the King of Electronic Music Train hasn’t arrived yet.

Following the example of other Train Captains, Chen Mang found an empty spot and sat down, picking up a wooden board to write on—

"Fixed Star."

"Selling Train Order, Seeking Spider Silk."

The three words ’Fixed Star’ were mainly for the Train Captain of the King of Electronic Music Train to recognize, and he was quite satisfied with the trade with the Bloodthirsty Bull Train. Initially, he planned to trade the Handheld Zombie Perception Shield for spider silk.

Now, the outcome was better than he expected.

He even gained a woman.

He had received 4500 units of spider silk but needed a total of 8100 units, still short 3600 units, to upgrade his "Spider Leg" accessory to Level 13.

Not long after.

He saw a dwarf man followed by seven or eight thugs walking briskly toward him. Before Chen Mang could say anything, he saw the man already staring intently at the tall woman behind him, speaking word for word.

"Brother, name your price; I’ll buy this woman."

"..."

Chen Mang sighed lightly; he had thought the dwarf man recognized him. It seemed he had seen the woman behind him in the crowd and came straight over. He could only point to the three words ’Fixed Star’ on the wooden board with his cane.

The dwarf man followed the cane’s direction and immediately realized, breaking into a smile.

"So it’s you."

"Looks like you’ve done your research on me."

"Let’s be straightforward then."

"I have a total of 1800 units of spider silk, in exchange for this woman."

"Too low."

Chen Mang shook his head and said seriously, "Do you know how much I spent to buy this woman back? A woman who’s 187 cm tall - do you know how rare that is?"

The dwarf man’s brows furrowed slightly as he thought for a moment.

"How much spider silk do you need in total?"

"3600 units of spider silk."

"If I give you 3600 units of spider silk, can the woman be mine?"

"Yes."

"Wait here, several Trains went with me to Taiping City to hunt Cannibal Spiders last time; I’ll contact them now. Wait for me a couple of hours, I’ll be right back."

After speaking, the dwarf man didn’t pause at all and turned to leave the gathering quickly.

...

Five hours later.

The dwarf man returned, placing 3800 units of spider silk in front of Chen Mang’s stall. Only after a deep breath, he couldn’t help but look at the tall woman behind Chen Mang, licking his lips: "Is it okay now?"

"Pleasure doing business."

Chen Mang smiled and shook hands with the man, indicating the transaction was complete.

...

By this time, the gathering had mostly dispersed, and in a few hours, it would be dark. Half of the Trains had already left.

His Train Order hadn’t been sold.

Few inquiries, with the highest offer only amounting to 2000 units of iron ore. Most Train Captains buy this thing just as a safeguard; should the Train crash someday, having a Train Order provides a chance to rise again.

But it’s just a safeguard, and they aren’t willing to offer a high price.

He didn’t rush to sell it.

units of iron ore for him wouldn’t solve any major issues, equating to the production of just two days. He might as well keep it.

"Phew..."

Standing at the edge of the Fixed Star Train, Chen Mang looked out at the several Trains headed into the distance with a rumbling noise. This gathering was over and was like the perfect ending to him.

Spider silk was more than enough; 200 extra units even.

Next, upgrade the spider legs and explore the Doomsday Abyss on the wasteland.

It’s worth mentioning.

The entire gathering occurred without any conflicts; no fights or even arguments; everyone was incredibly restrained, keeping the consensus without anyone maintaining order, simply by mutual understanding.

Every Train Captain has trading needs.

If someone disrupts this unspoken rule, it means it’ll be very difficult for any Train Captain to trade with others for a long time. Anyone daring to break this rule would become a public enemy.

Given no significant disparity in strength among everyone, the constraint formed by this consensus was indeed effective.

He also witnessed the diversity and uniqueness of the many Trains.

...

Entering the night on the wasteland, under a sky full of stars, the Fixed Star Train charged forward like an arrow towards the horizon!

Entering the coordinates of "Doomsday Abyss" into the control panel, it raced through the night with the moon as its guide for about 4 hours, finally nearing the Doomsday Abyss as darkness fell.

Inside there was a Level 2 iron mine.

unit of Level 2 iron ore is equivalent to 10 units of Level 1 iron ore.

In other words, with the current number of slaves on the Fixed Star Train, they could mine approximately ten thousand units of iron ore in one day, and in five days, they could trade for a Ji Chuchu.

By then, he could fully upgrade the Train Armor to Level 3, all accessories to Level 5, unlocking a Supermodel Effect, making his Train truly a fully-equipped Level 2 Train!

When he returns from the Doomsday Abyss.

That Corpse Tide that used to chase him everywhere could be slaughtered like mowing grass.

No matter its quantity, it doesn’t matter.

When the disparity in strength reaches a certain distance, quantity loses its intrinsic meaning.

...

Finally, half an hour later.

The Fixed Star Train successfully reached the edge of Doomsday Abyss.

"..."

Chen Mang disembarked, leaning on his cane, gazing at the thousands-meter-long and nearly forty-meter-wide abyss ahead, looking towards the horizon.

All around was empty.

Under the sky full of stars, he could feel an extreme yet desolate beauty. If it were the peaceful era, it might attract many to camp here.

And at the bottomless abyss.

Were a Level 2 iron mine and a Level 1 copper mine, like shy, bashful girls waiting for him to indulge.
