But he was clearly abnormal.
He could even have 20 or more slots, as long as...as long as he could have that many "Train Stunts".
...
"Train Stunt": Absolute Defense.
"Special Effect": Once activated, it can combine the levels of the two defense components 'Wagon Steel Armor' and 'Energy Shield' into a higher-level energy shield, lasting for ten seconds, with a cooldown of ten days.
He had never upgraded the "Energy Shield" component, mainly because his armor level was high enough.
But now.
Upgrading the Energy Shield should be on the agenda. If he upgrades the Energy Shield to Level 5, combined, he could even have a Level 11 defense. Although it lasts only ten seconds, it's enough. If a monster can't be shaken off in ten seconds, then even extending it to ten minutes would still mean death.
He glanced at his remaining units of iron ore.
There were 595,000 units of iron ore left.
After contemplating for a moment, he spent 125,000 units of iron ore to upgrade the "Car Blade", a white-grade component, directly to Level 50 in one go.
Level 50 Drill, Level 50 Car Blade.
Bring it on.
After activating the train stunt "Death Spin", he dared to challenge even Level 7 monsters.
This also gained him four Supermodel Effects.
-
"Drill Level 20 Supermodel Effect": Harder, faster rotation.
"Drill Level 50 Supermodel Effect": Harder, faster rotation.
-
He wasn't surprised by the supermodel effects of the drill, as he had anticipated them. After all, this component's Level 5 and Level 10 supermodel effects were the same.
This is purely a numerical component.
Only adds numerical value, no mechanic.
As for how hard and fast, it can be seen from forcibly entering the "Flesh and Blood Train" Adventure Map; at least he felt that breaking into the "Mechanical Train" Heaven-Reaching Tower Adventure Map would be extremely difficult...
Well.
If only the Heaven-Reaching Tower had opened a bit later, he would have broken in long ago. Who knows what might happen when entering early, probably nothing would happen at all.
And the two supermodel effects of the Car Blade were different.
-
"Car Blade Level 20 Supermodel Effect": Width fixed at ten meters, sharper.
"Car Blade Level 50 Supermodel Effect": The car blades on both sides can swing, gliding and leaping short distances on the ground; if in the air, can increase airspeed through quick swinging.
-
Hmm...
The width of the Car Blade was fixed at ten meters, and its sharpness enhanced, somewhat different from what he imagined. He thought the width would increase continuously with upgrades.
That Level 50 supermodel effect is reasonable.
With ten meters of car blade, it should have no problem acting as wings, and the increased airspeed wasn't slow, adding 100km/h speed.
However, if that's the case...
Chen Mang looked at the 3D model of the train on the control panel screen; he felt the "Bunny Cloud" wheels could be crafted now, and the speed seemed sufficient.
He immediately consumed 90,000 units of iron ore.
Upgraded both the "Super Tail Spray" and "Bunny Cloud", these two yellow-grade components, to Level 10 in one go.
To successfully fly with the "Bunny Cloud", it must ensure that with this component equipped, the train's maximum speed reaches 650km/h to meet the takeoff condition.
The base movement speed of a Level 4 train is 160km/h.
The speed increase from a Level 10 green-grade component "Nitrogen Tail Spray" is 120km/h.
The speed increase from a Level 10 yellow-grade component "Super Tail Spray" is 240km/h.
The speed increase from a Level 10 yellow-grade component "Bunny Cloud" is 120km/h.
Plus the airspeed increase from a Level 50 "Car Blade" is 100km/h.
Total speed directly reaches... 740km/h.
Fully meets the flight conditions.
The next moment—
Seen from both sides of the "Fixed Star" train, the car blades suddenly stretched out and started flapping rapidly, and at the same time, the original "Wind-Fire Wheel" was instantly replaced with the "Bunny Cloud", clouds replacing wheels appeared under the train.
Then.
Accompanied by the train starting to tilt upward.
The entire train just flew freely in the sky, with the huge car blades flapping continuously, like enormous wings.
...
"Finally really flying."
Inside the train, Chen Mang looked out at the gradually shrinking ground scenery, leaned back in the chair, and sighed with a smile; it wasn't easy, this was genuinely flying in the sky, not taking off like a rocket.
His flight altitude was even higher.
5500 meters.
The maximum flight altitude of a Level 1 Bunny Cloud is 1000 meters, Er Dan upgraded this component to Level 5, which is 3000 meters high, while he upgraded it to Level 10, directly reaching a flight height of 5500 meters.
He glanced at the energy consumption.
The energy consumption was indeed considerable, much more than the "Wind-Fire Wheel", roughly consuming 10% of a Level 3 Energy Stone for continuous flight of 24 hours, equivalent to 5000 units of iron ore consumed for flying in the air for 24 hours.
It is quite expensive.
But compared to the effect of flying in the sky, the price is much lower, after all, there's no need to fly in the air every day.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help admiring Er Dan.
He upgraded so many components to Level 10 just to meet the takeoff conditions for Bunny Cloud, while Er Dan, unlike him with Unlimited Upgrade, had many components for accelerating the train, together meeting these takeoff requirements.
It had been so many days.
Apart from the "Azure Dragon Train", he hadn't seen any train flying in the sky.
And the two components "Super Tail Spray" and "Bunny Cloud" reached Level 10 and gained the corresponding two supermodel effects as well.
-
"Super Tail Spray Level 5 Supermodel Effect": Half consumption.
"Super Tail Spray Level 10 Supermodel Effect": Unified into one, drastic speed increase!
-
"Bunny Cloud Level 5 Supermodel Effect": Half consumption.
"Bunny Cloud Level 10 Supermodel Effect": In thunderstorm weather, clouds will turn into dark clouds, significantly increasing speed.
-
Still manageable.
Chen Mang glanced at these four supermodel effects, then stretched and contentedly undressed for bed.
Tired.
Leave the remaining matters to Ai, and let her call him when detecting Level 2 iron ore.
The train will automatically speed across the wasteland.
This time he's quite satisfied with the gains, mainly because the group of monsters gathered in the valley, and with the Level 5 supermodel effect obtained when upgrading the "Earth-Burst Missile" to Level 6, it was simply a complete annihilation.
Hope more good things like this come in the future.
-
"Earth-Burst Missile Level 5 Supermodel Effect": Enhanced explosion power.
-
Like the drill, only adds numerical value, no mechanism.
He also needs to thank the Purple Cloud, though they had some conflict before, in the end, he admitted his mistakes timely, especially before dying, gifting him such an opportunity.
A good man.
If Purple Cloud hadn't contacted him, he wouldn't have gotten this chance.
As a return.
Light an incense for this guy tomorrow.
And Master Kun, Master Kun is also a good man.
...
Soon—
It was dawn.
When Chen Mang finished washing up and stood by the window, the train residents were already working at the Level 2 iron ore outside. It wasn't an open-pit mine but a mine shaft on the surface, with the mine dozens of meters underground in a mining field.
The structure was like the first iron mine he encountered in the Tieling Wasteland.
The train discovered this mine after exploring this morning, and Ai sent the message to all train residents, so while he was still dreaming, everyone was already working.
He set this instruction with Ai before sleeping last night, that he might wake up a bit late; if there's no danger around the mine, don't wake him, let everyone start working directly.
It's another new day.
After eating the Roujiamo breakfast delivered by Fang, Chen Mang sat again at the control panel, looking at the train's 3D model on the screen.
The Level 10 supermodel effect of the "Steamed Bun Production Line" is that the steamed buns can have meat sauce or chili sauce filling.
They can be called buns, or they can be called Roujiamo.
But he prefers to call them Roujiamo.
