"Then why do you think Master Mang asked us both to come out? You could capture someone alone, so why not just call you out by yourself?"

"To cover me."

"Cover your damn mother."

"Isn't my mom your mom?"

"..."

Zhang Er sat somewhat angrily inside the Thunderbolt mecha, looking at his big brother who had already flown far away. He had never caught something that could fly in the sky before, and he also wanted to experience what it felt like.

He wanted to grab that person and shove them into the fridge.

But he couldn't fly as fast as his big brother, so he just roamed around and couldn't even lend a hand.

He looked down at the fridge in his arms.

If only the fridge were bigger.

Then he could catch up now and directly shove his big brother into the fridge.

So infuriating.

Zhang Er swept a glance at the surrounding trains, pulled out a meat bun from his arms, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed vigorously to vent his emotions.

...

The door to Guard Carriage No. 7 of the Constant Star Train was already open.

Led by Biaozi, several people were quickly closing in on that broken train on off-road motorcycles, preparing to eliminate the remaining forces and bring back the original residents of that train.

Completely ignoring the trains circling around.

The whole process was just in the blink of an eye.

"So now..."

The man's voice once again echoed in everyone's ears. The door of the train compartment of the Constant Star Train opened, and a person wearing a yellow sweater walked down, leaning on a cane and smiling lightly at the trains.

"The small-time clowns have been dealt with, I think we can conduct a pleasant trade now."

"..."

The train captains of the surrounding trains all fell silent in place. Before coming, they had imagined many possibilities in their minds, including the possibility that the Constant Star Train might take a strong stance, but they didn't expect it to end so quickly...

Instant kill.

And Chen Mang stepping off the train was actually expressing his sincerity. As everyone knows, the greatest confidence of a train captain comes from their train, and voluntarily leaving the train often means that at this moment, their control over the train is at its lowest.

Just then—

A train suddenly honked, then slowly started its engine. After approaching within a hundred meters of the Constant Star, a middle-aged man got off from the middle of the train and walked toward the Constant Star alone.

Immediately after.

More and more trains also started honking.

This was the signal for a "gathering."

According to the rules.

The deputies or thug leaders usually go to gatherings, and although everyone maintains a tacit understanding not to attack during the gathering, to be safe, they still send subordinates to go, controlling remotely through the intercom.

And many people have given it a rather nice name.

"Kings Don't Meet Kings."

Quite good.

Ideally, "Generals Don't Meet Generals" and "Soldiers Don't Meet Soldiers" mean peace in the world.

...

A gathering initiated by the Constant Star has begun.

However, many people's main target was that "Level 1 Iron Ore," and it was clear that the Constant Star had proven itself worthy of a seat at the table and even one to distribute the food. Next was a fair trade.

"Are you Master Mang?"

"Yes."

The middle-aged man's expression slightly changed, an eyelid twitched for a moment, and after clasping his fists in salute, he harshly said: "Being a train captain and personally leaving the train to host this gathering comes with no small risk."

"The rules are often made to be broken."

"Not everyone will absolutely follow the rules."

"No worries."

Chen Mang stood still, leaning on the cane, with three teams of members standing behind him, smiling as he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and the others who came: "Let's talk when everyone arrives."

But he never let go of the cane.

Cane in hand.

With the Powerful Magnet, and the train behind him, he could still handle this big piece.

...

At this moment—

Two Level 12 mechanical trains slowly arrived, parking beside the Steel Dragon train. A man seeing the scarlet train spewing black smoke in the distance lowered his window and frowned at the middle-aged man sitting inside the Steel Dragon Train.

"What's the situation?"

"Is Master Shen dead?"

"Not dead yet, but soon."

The train captain of the Steel Dragon Train complexly said, "You arrived a bit late, Master Shen has already been dealt with by someone, and they don't need us. The situation is a bit complex, how to say..."

"Generally speaking, everyone is high offense and low defense."

"So firefights are avoided as it's mutually destructive."

"And one of Master Shen's big dependencies was speed. He didn't fully utilize the speed advantage of his train, not sure why, maybe he thought the Constant Star, which newly entered Crisis Valley, wasn't something worth paying attention to."

"Just like gangsters on the street, you stab me once, I stab you once."

"He stabbed the Constant Star once, and the Constant Star endured it."

"The Constant Star stabbed him once, and now he's like this."

"..."

The man who came to support was silent for a long while before speaking, "Did I come for nothing then?"

"Not necessarily, although we can't encircle Master Shen, there's a gathering, organized by Master Mang. I find it quite interesting, could go take a look."

"What's the level of the energy shield on Master Mang's train?"

"Don't know, he didn't activate the energy shield earlier, used armor to hold it, Level 10 armor."

"Level 10 armor?"

"Yeah."

"How many Murphy Stones must that take?"

"Not sure, probably encountered some opportunity, made forty or fifty Murphy Stones, and used them all to upgrade the armor."

"That's really a waste, upgrading a Doomsday Cannon would be more cost-effective."

"Indeed, let's go, together."

"What do you mean, you're saying the three of us train captains will go over personally?"

"Yeah, that gathering is personally hosted by Master Mang. I want to go over and establish some connections."

"Isn't the risk a bit high?"

"Bring more thugs, Master Mang shouldn't mind; sometimes, talking over the train radio a lot isn't as good as having a face-to-face chat."

"Alright, your call."

...

Perhaps with the lead of these three Level 12 mechanical train captains, more and more train captains, not sure what they were thinking, also stepped off their trains.

"Gentlemen."

Near the Constant Star Train, in a venue assembled quickly by hundreds of residents.

Sitting in the highest seat, Chen Mang seriously looked at the people below: "Many here have come personally as train captains, I can assure everyone here."

"In the gathering I organize, everyone's safety will be guaranteed by me."

"Let everyone take a breather first."

"I didn't plan to hold a gathering initially, just wanted to sell some stuff, but since things have developed unexpectedly yet in a good direction, as it's a gathering, you can start displaying your merchandise and needs. I have Level 1 iron ore here, if needed, just come to me for pricing."

After the words fell.

A group of train captains and thugs began to mingle with those beside them, even though they didn't initially come for a gathering.

But whatever.

Since they're here.

...

ps:

Deleted that standalone chapter from yesterday, woke up to find it had spread and already became a joke...

Didn't expect it to spread initially.

I'm not fond of being a topic of conversation, prefer plain writing and making money, calm and stable...

The author just wants to focus on writing a book for readers, isolating in the wilderness to burst content, emotions fully aligned with the book, not wanting to be disturbed by trivial matters.

Serious writing, diligence is rewarded by Heaven.

I'll seriously work on this book, learn more, striving to make each book better than the last, thanks for the support, and this matter ends here. If there are follow-ups, will share, learn lessons.

Mistakes will be corrected after posting.
