The previously ordinary Doomsday Marriage Certificate suddenly began to emit a scarlet glow.

"Master Mang... what is this?"

"It's good."

Chen Mang smiled, then took the Doomsday Marriage Certificate handed over by Mountain Cat, opened it, and three lines of text appeared within it.

-

"Please choose your wedding level."

1: Gold Wedding.

Requires a wedding in front of 1000 witnesses, with three trains of the same level attending the banquet, and food and wine prepared for all attendees, including essentials like a wedding dress, red carpet, artificial flowers, and fireworks.

Successfully hosting a Gold Wedding increases the train's Heritage Value by 500 and Reputation Value by 20.

2: Silver Wedding.

Requires a wedding in front of 500 witnesses, with food and wine prepared for everyone involved in the wedding, and a wedding dress is needed.

Successfully hosting a Silver Wedding increases the train's Heritage Value by 200.

3: Bronze Wedding.

Requires a wedding in front of 100 witnesses.

Successfully hosting a Bronze Wedding increases the train's Heritage Value by 100.

500 Heritage Value and 20 Reputation Value...

Chen Mang toyed with the Doomsday Marriage Certificate in his hand and was silent for a moment before looking up at the woman behind Mountain Cat with a smile: "You've been on the Fixed Star for a while now, how do you feel? Has anyone bullied you?"

"No... no."

The woman standing behind Mountain Cat was somewhat flustered, but she forcibly calmed down and said gratefully: "Meeting Master Mang in the doomsday was Mei Jia's blessing. If it weren't for Master Mang... Mei Jia might have been waiting to die in that safe house."

"And I could see Mountain Cat before dying, I have no regrets."

"Master Mang, don't worry, I've taken a pickaxe, I can go mining in the future, and I won't let you support me in vain."

"..."

Chen Mang frowned slightly, paused, then said softly: "The Fixed Star can afford to support one woman."

"Ai, take her for a check-up and see how many resources are needed for her treatment."

"Yes."

Ai, who was fiddling with tools halfway, put them down, stuffed some messy wires back into her head, got up, looked at the woman, and said mechanically without emotion: "Come with me."

"Mang... Master Mang."

At this moment, Mountain Cat reacted, and immediately, eyes reddened, knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing, voice trembling: "As long as Mei Jia can be cured, my life will be yours, Master Mang. If the train ever needs someone to execute a must-die mission, I'm the first to go!"

"If I ever show weakness, just execute me."

"Wherever you want me to go, I'll go."

Sitting on the chair, Chen Mang glanced at Mountain Cat and said casually: "So, if I can't cure her, you won't listen to me?"

"No, no... I didn't mean that."

Mountain Cat anxiously straightened up from his kneeling position, looking at Master Mang: "I misspoke, I meant to say..."

"That's enough, no need to say anymore."

"See how many resources it takes."

...

"125,000 units of iron ore."

Ai quickly returned with the woman, reporting the resources needed for the treatment.

"..."

Chen Mang glanced at the Train Panel. The Fixed Star still had 327,000 units of iron ore. It's enough, but... he paused for a moment, then calmly said to the hopeful mountain cat whose eyes had dimmed.

"Do you know what 125,000 units of iron ore means?"

"I know."

Kneeling on the ground, Mountain Cat lowered his head, his eyes reddened, and in just an instant, the hope from earlier vanished from his body. He paused and then suddenly smiled, his voice hoarse: "125,000 units of iron ore, enough to supply all members of the Fixed Star Train with food for 60 days."

"Mei Jia... she doesn't deserve to consume this much resources."

"She's not worth that much."

"It's okay, Master Mang. Mei Jia can still live two or three years without treatment. Being able to live that long in the doomsday is already enough, keeping these resources will allow the train to develop, making the Fixed Star Train better, after all... there are still so many people on the train."

"Master Mang."

Besides, Mei Jia also hurriedly knelt on the ground, with some panic: "I... Mountain Cat is right."

She had joined the train for a while and naturally knew that iron ore was the main resource to maintain the train's development. 125,000 units of iron ore, her life wasn't worth that much even before the doomsday, so how could it be worth that much after?

"..."

Chen Mang sat silently on the chair for a while, then stood up, walked over to Mountain Cat, helped him up, and lightly dusted off his nonexistent shoulder dust, smiling and saying softly.

"She's not worth that."

"But you are worth that."

"Ai, take her for treatment, happily, in a few days I'll personally host a wedding for you two, it might be the first grand enough wedding in the doomsday."

"Everyone's mood in the doomsday is quite low; I'll use your wedding to bring some joy."

"Go on."

Mountain Cat, who was being helped up, was about to speak, and only then did he realize Master Mang seemed to be saying that she could... could be cured? Immediately, his body froze on the spot, tears finally uncontrollably poured out, and he knelt on the ground again heavily, eyes red, roaring.

"Master Mang!"

"Rest assured, later on, any time the train needs me to go to a place of death, if I hesitate even a bit, I'll consider myself unworthy."

"From now on, my life is yours, Master Mang."

"Whatever way you want me to die, I'll die."

"Alright, alright..."

Chen Mang somewhat helplessly patted Mountain Cat's shoulder again: "The Fixed Star doesn't have so many tasks that require people to go to their deaths; by the time that day comes, the Fixed Star might be close to its end as well."

"Hurry up, go."

...

Soon——

Ai came back to the train compartment alone, sat down, opened her head back up, and continued her modifications before saying: "Master Mang, this might be the most expensive woman you've bought."

"125k units of iron ore."

"Equivalent to two and a half Ji Chuchu."

"Not bad."

Chen Mang leaned back in his chair, put his feet up on the control panel, casually said: "As long as I find a Level 2 iron deposit, it'll only take about a day to dig it out."

125,000 units of iron ore, exchanged for 500 Heritage Value, 20 Reputation Value, and Mountain Cat's loyalty, it's not a bad deal. He had observed this Mountain Cat, who was extremely responsive to kindness, and indeed remembered favors.

As for the wedding, he was definitely choosing the Gold Wedding.

Those conditions for the Gold Wedding weren't very difficult for him, the only tough part was finding three trains of the same level to attend the wedding, but that problem... wasn't too difficult either.

Just now...

"Purple Cloud Train" messaged him, saying they had successfully reached the Shahe Plain and upgraded to a Level 4 train.

To pay him respect.

Although he found this act somewhat pointless, even if you don't show respect, it's not like he would go and seek trouble with you, but at least it had made one Level 4 train ready to attend the wedding.

The Azure Dragon is not suitable, as it's a Level 5 train; two more Level 4 trains are needed.

Let's think of a solution for that later, there's no rush for now.

"By the way——"

At this time, Ai, who was tinkering with her work in the corner, suddenly spoke: "Train Captain, could you make another Mechanical Eye for me? Though having one is enough, it feels like a cyclops and looks ugly."

"..."

Chen Mang gave Ai a sidelong look, casually fabricated another Mechanical Eye, then retorted with no real intent: "Do you want me to make you a set of high-precision clothes afterward too?"

"Eh, good idea."

Chen Mang was too lazy to engage with Ai further, just took a deep breath, then turned to the Train Panel, pondering that the train will rest here for today, probe for iron ore in the afternoon, and begin mining tomorrow.

Then, create the "Combat Training Virtual Space" and "Single Soldier Skeleton Armor".

And produce all the remaining parts that need building, upgrade those that need upgrading.

For now...

"Call Ji Chuchu."

"Wait, um... have Yan Yao come."

"Forget it——"

Chen Mang paused for a while, then flicked the cigarette butt out the window: "Call both of them."

"The temper's a bit much."
