"Should be..."

...

Upgrade, upgrade, keep upgrading!

Sitting inside the train compartment, Chen Mang looked again at the remaining parts, fixing his gaze on the "Car Sound System," consuming 502,500 units of iron ore to upgrade it directly to Level 100!

This thing being upgraded to Level 100 is probably useless; his main goal was to make it more durable, so it wouldn't nearly break to zero integrity after every battle.

While life-oriented parts won't possess the same strength as defensive parts, they will become more robust with level upgrades.

-

"Car Sound System Level 20 Supermodel Effect": None.

"Car Sound System Level 50 Supermodel Effect": None.

"Car Sound System Level 100 Supermodel Effect": None.

-

No supermodel effect, as expected, but he wasn't aiming for any supermodel effects when upgrading it.

The rest...

Hmm, also upgraded the "Powerful Magnet" directly from Level 20 to Level 100, consuming 970,000 units of iron ore, expanding its picking range to 10,000 meters, automatically attracting any dropped items within that range.

-

"Powerful Magnet Level 50 Supermodel Effect": Energy consumption for strong magnetism is halved.

"Powerful Magnet Level 100 Supermodel Effect": Strong magnetism can be freely controlled, with a range within the Target Detection Radar.

-

"Hmm?"

Chen Mang initially skipped over it; he upgraded this component solely for the increased picking range, but unexpectedly it gained two supermodel effects, though he didn't quite understand them.

He knew that the Level 20 supermodel effect of the Powerful Magnet had a strong magnetic effect, whose exact magnetism depended on the grade of consumed Energy Stone.

However, he had never had a chance to use this effect before.

Basically, he had been utilizing only the most core attribute of the "Powerful Magnet."

But now, how come there's another supermodel effect?

"Could it be...?"

Chen Mang's eyes flashed with insight. He got up, took a few Car Blade Fragments from the fridge nearby, and tossed them out of the window, then activated the "Powerful Magnet."

Suddenly, he felt a fusion of thought with the Powerful Magnet. With just a subtle mental cue, a Car Blade Fragment outside the train slowly floated into the air, and under his thought, shot fiercely into the distance, turning into a streak of cold light.

"Ah?"

He was slightly surprised, glancing down at the control panel screen, which showed that the recent attack consumed 1% of energy; he had a Level 3 Energy Stone installed.

Without any hesitation.

He immediately leaped off the train.

Leaning on his cane outside the train, controlling the train through it, with a thought, the Car Blade Fragment that had fallen into the distance flew back to him, and with another thought, shot into the distance again!

Damn...!

Finally, Chen Mang understood what this supermodel effect meant—it's pure Magneto-like!

The power depends entirely on the strong magnetic effect.

And the strong magnetic effect depends on how much energy he's willing to consume.

Those two previous hits consumed 3% of his energy, equivalent to 1,500 units of iron ore—manageable, not too consuming.

At that moment—

The Target Detection Radar displayed a Corpse Tide 6,000 meters away, charging fiercely towards the train, with roughly over 100 zombies, the highest level being 6, generally ranging from Level 3 to Level 4.

"Bring it on."

Chen Mang couldn't help but laugh, swiftly returning to the train compartment, retrieving those Car Blade Fragments from the fridge, placing them on the seat, and then spoke: "Prohibit firing, let that batch of zombies come closer, then figure out a way to let the guards happen to walk out of the carriage, but don't make it too obvious."

"Later, broadcast my scene of killing the enemy to the residents through the screen."

"Understood."

Ai's voice soon echoed inside the train.

...

"Get off the train, get to work!"

Sitting on his bunk, Biaozi, upon receiving Ai's command, hurriedly got up and shouted to his fellow guards: "Master Mang's orders, time for inspection, hurry, hurry!"

"Zhang Yi, Zhang Er, move your asses and stop eating!"

"Zhang Qi, wait up, stand behind me, you're the most handsome in our team, the face of our squad, show off your charisma in a bit!"

"Biao, you're the most handsome in the team!"

"Get lost!"

Biaozi jovially cursed, "Stop fooling around, this is Master Mang's first inspection, everyone check your uniforms, it's very important!"

"Everyone should perform well."

Everyone eagerly organized their uniforms quickly in front of the mirrors.

An inspection!

Although they felt they hadn't fully matured, this was clearly recognition from Master Mang!

Then—

All guards exited the carriage, standing in three neat rows in the cold wind, waiting for Master Mang's review, each standing tall and straight.

It was midwinter, the cold wind a bit biting, mixed with some unknown sour stench.

Hmm? Stench?

Biaozi instinctively turned his head to the side, seeing not far away a Corpse Tide rapidly approaching the train, his expression slightly changed, reaching for the briefcase in his arms to meet them but quickly stopped himself.

Since President Ai hadn't notified them of this situation.

It indicated that Master Mang might want to use this Corpse Tide to test their capabilities.

Using the Corpse Tide for inspection, a good idea!

Then!

The train's compartment door opened, in everyone's sight, Chen Mang, leaning on his cane, slowly walked down the train compartment to the front of the crowd, a flash of satisfaction in his eyes: "Not bad, all energetic."

"The training over these days has been effective."

"Um..."

Biaozi finally couldn't hold it in any longer, urgently looking at the Corpse Tide behind Master Mang, said: "Master Mang, the Corpse Tide behind you is less than 100 meters away. Shouldn't we kill these zombies first?"

"No problem."

Chen Mang calmly looked at Biaozi, leaning on his cane with a slight smile: "Remember when you asked at the Neon City's Memory Bank why a memory could sell for tens of billions?"

"I remember, Master Mang, you said you had seen a dragon."

"Not entirely."

"Huh?"

"I not only saw a dragon, but also killed one."

"For example, like this..."

Chen Mang slowly raised his cane with one hand, his lips parting slightly, whispering: "Sword..."

The next moment—

"Boom boom!!"

Thunderclouds suddenly gathered above the train, and the roaring storm descended rapidly. The sky instantly dimmed, Chen Mang's clothes flapping in the harsh wind, a lightning bolt tore through the clouds, illuminating the world.

In that instant.

Biaozi and the others saw Master Mang's face, chiseled under the lightning, a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

And...

The hundreds of Car Blade Fragments floating mid-air behind him.

At this time, the Corpse Tide was already just a few meters away from Master Mang.

At that moment!

"...Come!"

With that crisp voice of Master Mang echoing in their ears, he fiercely struck the ground with his cane. The hundreds of Car Blade Fragments floating mid-air seemed to be infused with souls, transforming into countless sharp blades, shooting fiercely at the Corpse Tide behind at a speed too fast for the naked eye to capture!

Thud thud...

The sound of countless fragments piercing through flesh echoed.

When the thunder subsided.

The Corpse Tide behind Master Mang all lay fallen on the ground, not a single one survived. The nearest zombie was just two meters away from Master Mang, yet throughout, Master Mang never even glanced back, nor blinked an eye.

"Work hard."

Chen Mang calmly looked towards Biaozi and the group, smiling lightly: "I'll teach you this Dragon Slaying Skill in the future."

"A man has to slay a dragon in his lifetime."

With that, he didn't linger, walking towards the train on his own.

Leaving Biaozi and the others completely stunned in place.

...

"..."

After an unknown amount of time, Biaozi finally reacted, in disbelief, turning around to look at the scene behind him, trembling: "Did... did you guys see that?"

"Master Mang just now..."

"Was Master Mang just now casting magic?"
