Now we run, wait until the train upgrades and becomes stronger, then return.

In this way, he felt a bit unwilling.

By the time the train is upgraded to level fifteen or sixteen, the iron ore here won't have such a strong allure for him.

He's always believed that so-called delayed gratification is just an excuse to cope with something you can't have at the moment.

The toy you wanted as a child, will you really feel delayed satisfaction when you finally get it at 30?

But if he fights, the opponent wields the wolf fang club with such force and vigor, yet can't break his defense.

As soon as he stops firing, the opponent will jump up to attack him!

His copper reserves can't support firing level 17 shells for such a long time!

However...

Chen Mang's expression gradually became odd; he tried using level 14 shells. This level of shells couldn't break the defense, but the opponent still crouched, legs bent, planted firmly in a horse stance on the ground, swinging the wolf fang club with imposing vigor, blocking every shell.

Level 12.

Level 9.

Level 6.

All the way down to level 1, every shell fired by the Doomsday Cannon is now level 1!

Completely unable to break the defense!

Yet, that dual-headed monster had no intention of ignoring them, still staring bloodthirstily and brutally at the Constant Star Train, while continuously spinning the wolf fang club, blocking every shell.

Clearly.

This monster's special mechanism is to use the wolf fang club to block every shell, unless the level of the shells is high enough, like level 22 or 25, so even the explosion would be unbearable for this monster, otherwise, this monster is nearly invincible!

But...

Even a level 1 shell would trigger this monster's forced block mechanism.

No need to rush the next move.

"..."

Chen Mang glanced at the control panel screen and suddenly laughed.

The train originally had 4.62 million units of copper!

The price for a level 14 shell is 3,000 units of copper.

Level 15 is 3,500 units.

Level 16 is 4,000 units.

Level 17 is 4,500 units; two rounds could exhaust a level 1 copper mine.

The price after three successive half-consumptions is 562.5.

He just fired over three thousand rounds, consuming 1.813 million units of iron ore, yet still had no way to effectively deal with this dual-headed monster, including those low-level shells used for testing. There were 2.71 million units of copper left.

This price is only enough for over 4,000 rounds of level 17 shells.

This many level 17 shells are clearly not enough to kill this monster; that near-absolute blocking mechanism is too disgusting!

But——

The price for a level 1 shell is only 5 units of copper per shot.

After three times consumption halving.

0.625 units of copper per shot.

With the remaining 2.71 million units of copper, he could manufacture over 3 million rounds of level 1 shells!

Next, he would do nothing but use level 1 shells for slow attacks.

He didn't believe it!

No matter if you're a boss, even a level 15 boss, you should get tired, right?

Sustaining a horse stance while twirling the wolf fang club for a whole day; he didn't believe it wouldn't get tired.

If this boss still showed no signs of fatigue after firing over 3 million level 1 shells, then he would admit defeat, admit it. Meet again next time after he goes out and grows stronger.

...

In the blink of an eye, three hours passed.

If it weren't for the crackling explosions echoing throughout the cave, the cave felt like a still frame.

The Constant Star Train was suspended from the ceiling of the cave, with nine Doomsday Cannons firing continuously, launching shells like they were free!

And that massive dual-headed monster's knees had long given out, kneeling on the ground, though the wolf fang club in its hands was still spinning rapidly, though not as vigorously as at the start.

The speed had noticeably slowed.

"Is that all there is?"

Reclining on the chair, feet propped on the control console, his gaze returned from watching a movie playing nearby, holding a cigar, he shot an uninterested glance at the struggling dual-headed monster below, "Didn't you claim you could catch white blades barehanded? Come, slowly catch them."

"Let me see the limits of your forced blocking."

He could afford the consumption.

Three hours wouldn't matter.

Even thirty hours would be no problem; this minefield was his to claim!

Even if Jesus came, he couldn't stop him, he'd said so!

...

"How should I record this..."

Old Pig, sitting alone in a room in Carriage 7, frowned as he held a pen, hesitating to write as he looked at the scene below.

"Today, Master Mang controlled the Constant Star Train to explore northward in the underground Train Tunnel and accidentally entered an unknown cave, getting ambushed by a level 15 boss, causing damage to Carriage 5."

"Master Mang... instant kill in the end!"

He mainly pondered whether to use the term "instant kill"...

Technically speaking.

Even though three hours had passed, if one day the Constant Star could enter space, then in space, three hours can be a moment, but... after thinking it over, he chose different words.

Intensive fight, Master Mang dominated!

After all, it was a level 15 monster, and the train was only level 10; defeating a boss of a higher level, even if it took some time, was impressive, and it highlighted Master Mang's decisions and unwavering determination in the face of crisis.

Perfect as a teaching material.

Yes, he decided to write it that way.

...

"...Almost died."

By now, Carriage 5 had been fully repaired by Mechanical Nanospiders; only Ji Chuchu and Yan Yao sat at the window with remnants of fear in their eyes. At the moment of ambush, the carriage was nearly flattened!

Luckily, the Train Expansion had made it bigger.

A full ten meters high.

The carriage had been smashed to just three meters high; thankfully, under the "Permanent Shock Absorption" Accessory Effect, they only received minor injuries.

If the train hadn't expanded, with such a smash, Carriage 5 would have been nothing but scrap metal by now.

They both would have died on the spot.

Furthermore——

If Carriage 5 had been instantly smashed into metal scrap, disconnecting it would have severed the link, causing the people in the following carriages to meet their demise under the club, waiting for death.

It was close.

Ji Chuchu lightly patted her chest, looking at the dual-headed monster below outside the window, murmuring, "Lived another day, how nice."

Though she was seated by the window, her head was facing downward.

Gravity seemed void within this carriage.

That's the "built-in space stabilizer" Accessory Effect, and their bodies didn't feel any abnormal, only the perspective seemed odd, which they would adapt to in time.

...

Another four hours passed.

Chen Mang glanced at the remaining copper units, 1.2 million units of copper left, having already spent over 1.5 million units of copper.

The dual-headed monster below had started showing signs of exhaustion four hours ago, but it still lasted until now.

Its stamina and endurance truly belonged to the top tier.

But it seemed to have reached its limit.

The remaining 1.2 million units of copper were more than enough.

He would tire it out to death!

Damn!

However, the strike on Carriage 5 reminded him of something.

"Ai, if a carriage with a Gate of Space gets destroyed, what happens to the Gate of Space?"

"It shatters."

Ai's voice sounded in the train room, "Technically speaking, this is the strongest attack, nearly impossible to block, the shattering spatial fragments would instantly slice the entire Gate of Space into countless pieces.

"..."

Chen Mang nodded in thought; it seemed he realized where the "Space Stasis" purple component he'd never used could apply.

This component was not useless.

On the contrary, in critical moments, it could be a game-changer!

From the moment the Constant Star Train entered the cave, seven hours had passed, except for an initial encounter, the following seven hours of combat felt like still animation!

After seven hours of baptism.

The emotions in the eyes of the dual-headed monster had changed many times.

From initial brutality and bloodthirst, becoming fatigue and anger afterward.

Then to confusion and powerlessness.

Until now, despair, bitterness, and collapse.

At this moment——

Finally exhausted, both physically and mentally spent, the wolf fang club in its hand finally slipped free, flying away!
