The next moment—

"Boom boom boom!"

Fireworks filled the sky, with dozens of shells completely engulfing the little guy.

...

Half a minute later.

The white smoke cleared, revealing the area riddled with craters, yet the little guy remained there, peacefully sleeping without a speck of dust on his fur.

Truly unbreakable defense.

Chen Mang strode forward and, after checking the little guy in his arms, laughed in surprise, realizing that this little one indeed had Level 12 defense.

It was just unclear if it was the train's Level 12 defense or a monster's Level 12 defense.

The Level 12 defense of the Train Armor can completely withstand a Level 12 attack, only a Level 13 attack could break through.

Whereas a monster's Level 12 defense could be breached by a Level 12 attack.

So he used Level 11 shells.

He didn't dare use higher-level shells, just in case he accidentally killed the little guy.

"Let's give you a name."

Chen Mang, unable to let go of the little guy in his arms, pondered, "Hmm, let me think of a good name for you..."

Standing nearby, Ai thought to himself expressionlessly, probably going to be called Xiaolv.

He understood the Train Captain's naming style by now.

"A gentle green color all over, let me think..."

"As the ancients say, the azure sky is as clear as jade, a heart blessed by greenery."

"There is also the saying, green waves ripple like jade, a scenery of mountains and waters delight."

"Since ancient times, green has always been associated with vitality."

"..." Ai was slightly stunned in place, was the Train Captain seriously considering the name this time? Then why was he randomly named Ai? He wanted a poetic name too, something that sounded high-class.

"In that case, we'll call you Xiaolv."

As expected.

Ai stood behind Chen Mang, disgruntled, though the process was different the result was the same, rendering those two lines of poetry useless, might as well have directly named it Xiaolv.

Does the name Xiaolv relate to the two lines of poetry? Just because they both have "green"?

He thought it might be named something like Yun Yu, considering the green-as-cloud and green-as-jade references, wouldn't Yun Yu sound nice?

"Pretty good."

Chen Mang, satisfied, held the little guy happily in his arms and said, "This guy is actually quite cute, isn't it? He'll be called Xiaolv from now on. We'll see how he looks when he wakes up after the train reaches Level 12."

"Not bad, the iron ore over the days wasn't spent in vain."

"According to Mechanical Civilization's pricing, this A-level potential Giant Beast cub should be able to buy 10 Neon Cities, right?"

"At least 100..."

Ai silently added, "While Neon Cities are quite rare, they can be replicated. For us, they're novel since they're mostly made of renewable resources, but... this A-level potential Stellar Giant Beast cub is completely irreplicable, extremely rare across the universe."

"I'm not sure to what level the train can be upgraded, nor what levels Mechanical Civilization's trains reach, but a Stellar Giant Beast that can reach Level 120 in adulthood is definitely a cosmic overlord."

"Exactly."

Chen Mang contentedly stroked the little guy in his arms and mused, "But what if this guy grows too big to fit inside the train? The maximum expansion of the train is about a hundred meters tall, and like you mentioned, some Stellar Giant Beasts are hundreds of thousands of kilometers long, how could the train possibly accommodate that?"

"I don't know, there's no relevant record in the experiment data."

"Hmm."

Chen Mang nodded, feeling Xiaolv should belong to a species of small Giant Beasts, as it didn't seem like one that could grow very large. Well, the missing 16th carriage was finally found!

Thus.

The Constant Star Train finally officially had 15 carriages and one train head!

Xiaolv became the 15th carriage, also known as the 16th "Giant Beast Carriage."

However, it wouldn't be hooked to the back of the train but would remain in the train cabin, acting as a mascot for the time being since the little guy hadn't awakened yet...

"Back to the train."

In the future, this little guy wouldn't sleep in the train head anymore but stay in the warm train cabin.

In the wilderness.

In the sound of the wind, Chen Mang and Ai's voices gradually faded.

"Something's not right, Ai. When I upgraded the train's armor, I didn't account for this Giant Beast Carriage. It was only recently that this carriage emerged, could it be that it was upgraded to a higher level on another train before?"

"Probably, before Master Kun, it must have been on another train."

"That makes sense, despite encountering a bit of a bug, it was still resolved perfectly."

"Indeed, Master Mang."

...

Inside the train cabin.

Ai went back to his "Armor Research Center," leaving only Chen Mang and Xiaolv in the train cabin.

"Pretty good."

Chen Mang lowered his head, tinkering with the little guy's nose, "From now on, you'll be called Xiaolv. Even though you're still in a state of slumber, I'll tell you your name once you wake up."

"By the way, Ai, how intelligent are Stellar Giant Beasts generally?"

"Not very intelligent." The cabin briefly flashed a white light, and then Ai's voice came through.

"Generally speaking, Stellar Giant Beasts are often associated with brutality, bloodthirst, and mindlessness, lacking any intelligence, acting purely on biological instincts. This has nothing to do with potential. Of course, there are exceptions, and it's said that some Stellar Giant Beasts aren't lacking in intelligence."
