"Temporarily won't be selling cigarettes, switching to cigars. Place your orders in advance, we can trade next gathering."
In the next moment—
The Train Radio once again displayed a pinned message from the Constant Star Train.
"Constant Star Train": "Selling cigars, cigarettes, pork trotter rice, rice noodle rolls, and other daily necessities. Remote trades possible, message if interested."
"..."
The man silently reopened his private chat with the Constant Star.
"Bro, I won't sell cigars anymore, you go ahead."
...
"Hmm..."
Chen Mang's expression turned slightly odd as he looked at the message from the "Wild Bull" in the chat box. Did this guy misunderstand something? Chen Mang never said only he could sell, and others couldn't.
Wasn't it you who monopolized, then he jumped in and you got involved with him?
He doesn't plan on monopolizing.
It's fair competition.
"Train Radio" only handles modifying some copy texts from time to time; everything else was handled by Ai, who would automatically complete the trades and occasionally pin a message.
This "Cigar Production Line" was a yellow-grade accessory.
It consumed 46,000 units of iron ore to successfully upgrade to Level 10.
And gained two corresponding Supermodel Effects.
-
"Cigar Production Line Level 5 Supermodel Effect": Significant improvement in cigar quality.
"Cigar Production Line Level 10 Supermodel Effect": Provides mental alertness.
-
His cigars are of better quality than others', looks like they should be priced a bit higher like his cigarettes, which also have a pain-relieving effect and are sold at higher prices than others.
But not too much higher, after all... it's just an add-on, not the main thing.
Just like how a tea bag's packaging might be nice, it's an accessory, no one would specifically buy a tea just for the packaging... okay, some people might.
...
Two days later.
The Level 3 iron mine had been completely exhausted, yielding a decent output, bringing the current iron ore on the train to 1.1 million units.
Inside the train.
Chen Mang glanced at the "Civilization Order" in his hand; in a dozen days, he would be able to enter the Goblin Tomb space again to mine. Mining there is much more satisfying than mining outside.
"..."
He looked at the 1.1 million units of iron ore inside the train, deciding to upgrade some basic white and green-grade accessories in the train, while Ai operated the train to continue finding other mining sites at night.
The first step was to upgrade the "Resource Detection Radar" to Level 20.
Expanding its detection range to 20,000 meters.
The "Target Detection Radar" was also upgraded from Level 15 to Level 20, bringing its radar detection range to 20,000 meters as well.
-
"Resource Detection Radar Level 20 Supermodel Effect": Consumption halved.
"Target Detection Radar Level 20 Supermodel Effect": All firepower weapons can lock onto enemies within radar range through the 'Train Assistance AI'.
-
The jack-of-all-trades consumption halved also counts as saving expenses.
The Target Detection Radar Level 20 Supermodel Effect is quite useful; upgrading these two accessories cost a total of 180,000 units of iron ore.
Besides, there were also.
The "Moldy Bread Slice Production Line," "Steamed Bun Production Line," "Generator," "Circuit System," "Pure Water Filter," "Clothing Customization Production Line," "Coca-Cola Production Line," and "Train Assistance AI".
All nine accessories were upgraded to Level 20, directly earning 9 Supermodel Effects.
And it only consumed, 188,000 units of iron ore, mostly used for some white-grade accessories, consuming few resources.
-
"Moldy Bread Slice Production Line Level 20 Supermodel Effect": Option for 'sausage bites', price unchanged.
"Steamed Bun Production Line Level 20 Supermodel Effect": Option to add 'donkey meat', price unchanged.
"Generator Level 20 Supermodel Effect": None.
"Circuit System Level 20 Supermodel Effect": None.
"Pure Water Filter Level 20 Supermodel Effect": None.
"Clothing Customization Production Line Level 20 Supermodel Effect": Clothes crafted have a small pocket with space inside.
"Coca-Cola Production Line Level 20 Supermodel Effect": Long-term use can slightly improve physical fitness.
"Train Assistance AI": None.
-
This upgrade didn't consume much in terms of resources.
But it enhanced most of the train's lifestyle accessories, among which the "Generator" increases power generation with each level-up, sufficient for the many accessories in the train, and the "Circuit System" can bear more powerful energy pass-through with each upgrade.
The "Train Assistance AI" upgrade will also enhance AI computation power.
However, the "Clothing Customization Production Line"...
Chen Mang walked to carriage No. 4, looking at the clothes produced, regardless of how many pockets the clothes have, only one pocket has the internal space effect, and the position of this pocket can be freely chosen.
The space isn't very large.
It can only hold a briefcase, a pickaxe, or a Giant Wave Gatling; it certainly can't compare to a refrigerator.
But...
It's entirely sufficient.
This way, whether stuffing the briefcase of mecha into a pocket or placing the Giant Wave Gatling and Energy Stones in a pocket, or residents putting a pickaxe in their pockets, it all proves to be extremely practical.
After pondering for a while.
He spent more than 6,000 units of wood to refit two new pieces of clothing for everyone on the train, for alternate wear, keeping the original clothing intact, allowing the residents to wear changes if they want, not affecting anything.
Afterward.
Chen Mang walked all the way back to the subsequent carriages; he seldom tours his train from the front to the back internally.
...
First, it was the No. 5 high-talent female carriage.
As soon as he pushed the door open.
He saw Ji Chuchu and Yan Yao in strap sleep gowns sitting by the window looking at the outside view chatting, saw him enter, and hurriedly stood up: "Master Mang."
"Hmm."
Chen Mang looked at them.
He swore his original intent was just to tour his train, to admire his work crafted in the Doomsday, but when Ji Chuchu in a red strap dress inadvertently exposed a glimpse of pale spring,
and Yan Yao in a completely close-fitting white silk nightgown, revealing her figure entirely.
Chuchu looked mesmerizing under the moonlight.
He glanced sideways out at the moon, quite lovely.
Only then did he walk slowly to Yan Yao and the other two, pulling Yan Yao into his arms, lightly inhaling the scent of shampoo in her hair,
and sat in a chair,
perhaps Chen Mang too entered a flow state, forgetting the passage of time, only feeling the moonlight was beautiful, and the exhaustion of many days was also soothed at this moment.
...
An hour later.
Chen Mang got up and looked at the two kneeling side by side on the bed, Ji Chuchu and Yan Yao, smiled, giving them each a pat.
Casually grabbed a bottle of mineral water from by the window and drank half of it.
Then sat by the window lighting a cigarette, lazily turning his head to gaze outside.
Ji Chuchu then crawled from the bed, picked up that half bottle of mineral water, and took a sip,
ten minutes later.
Chen Mang extinguished the cigarette in the water bottle and, feeling refreshed, continued to carriage No. 6 male high-talent carriage.
Pushed open the door.
Li Shiji and the rest weren't asleep yet. All of them quickly crawled up: "Master Mang."
"Hmm."
Chen Mang casually waved a hand, "Go back to sleep."
This carriage's moonlight was ordinary at best; there was nothing to admire.
Kept walking to the No. 7 Guard Carriage.
Guard Team 2 was already asleep, while Guard Team 1 patrolled to maintain order in the rear carriage; Guard Team 3 was training in the "Combat Training Space" inside the fridge. He didn't disturb them.
Took another stroll through the four back resident carriages before retracing his steps.
When he returned to carriage No. 5 again.
Ji Chuchu and Yan Yao were discreetly whispering with slightly flushed faces. Whether it was the moonlight or those silk nightgowns, Chen Mang felt Ji Chuchu and Yan Yao looked particularly enticing tonight.
Exceptionally beautiful.
