Chen Mang waved his hand lightly and said, "No problem, you continue with your work."
"Yes."
Only after giving Ai a thumbs up in Cluster Thinking, he then advised Ai to find an excuse to smooth things over, lest Biaozi ends up feeling guilty to the point of shutting down.
Under normal circumstances.
That thug definitely couldn't break through Biaozi and the others' defenses, but if Ai gave Biaozi and the others false information, that would be a different story.
To put it bluntly.
He felt he hadn't shown off enough.
He wanted to show off a bit more.
But unfortunately, with no targets, he could only take one from Biaozi, though it was a bit unfair to Biaozi.
"Ahem."
Chen Mang lightly coughed before looking at the two people and smilingly said, "Just a minor episode, here's some iron ore, copper ore, and four Murphy Stones as a meeting gift."
"50,000 units of iron ore, 20,000 units of copper ore, two Murphy Stones each."
"The Doomsday Cannon can't go beyond Level 8, but if you upgrade it to Level 10, there are two supermodel effects that halve consumption; a lot of high-level players play this way."
"Perhaps there won't be another chance to meet again in the future."
...
One hour later.
Chen Mang parted ways with a few others and returned to the Fixed Star Train, once again heading on his journey back.
Indeed, there won't be another chance to meet again in the future.
The conversation was very pleasant.
The two of them were good at giving emotional value, or rather, energy.
Energy fields like this relate to a person's mental state; with some people, you feel energized, while with others, you feel your energy drained. In most cases, when you are leading the conversation, you tend to absorb energy.
And energy often determines a person's aura or you could say, fortune.
The more energy one has, the stronger their fortune.
This is somewhat similar to a superstitious view, but he believes in it.
"Master Mang."
"Hmm?"
"Did you really just come for this?"
"What else would it be."
"When I first saw that you'd come to the Shahe Plain, I thought you were looking for that person."
"Who?"
"That Train Captain of the World-Hating with A-grade potential, the one you called a sissy. Didn't he verbally threaten you after failing to recruit you into the Balance?"
"Oh him, he's already dead."
"When did he die?"
"Just an hour ago."
Er Dan finally realized, somewhat shocked, "Master Mang, are you saying that Level 6 train from a moment ago was the World-Hating?"
"Yes."
"What a coincidence!"
"Is it?" Chen Mang smiled lightly, looking into the void at the end of the Train Tunnel and shaking his head, "Not a coincidence at all."
About to leave this area.
How could he forget this matter and leave such a pitfall for himself?
He had been waiting for a long time.
Back when they were mining, he had sent those two to find the World-Hating and lure it to the fixed location within a set time.
The older brother was dead.
How could the younger brother not be?
The family should stick together so they can keep each other company down there.
...
Inside the Train Tunnel.
The Fixed Star was speeding through.
Biaozi was sitting with a gloomy face inside the No. 7 Guard Carriage, looking at Zhang Damei and the two captains, speaking word by word, "I have carefully recalled the entire process, the more I think, the more something feels off!"
"I couldn't have let someone break through my defense line!"
"At that time, it was President Ai who told me there was someone on the left, leading me away. My normal position was forward, but President Ai told me there was no one there, and then Zhang Yi was also led to the right by President Ai."
"There's a problem with President Ai!"
"He's doing it on purpose. President Ai might have betrayed us; he wants to kill Master Mang. I have to tell Master Mang about this situation."
"But..."
The third team's captain hesitated, looking at the Mechanical Eye on the ceiling of the carriage, "Biao, President Ai can hear what we're saying."
"So what?"
Biaozi stood up straight, looking up at the Mechanical Eye and the hundred Heavy Machine Guns on the ceiling, without fear, even with a hint of provocation, "I don't believe without Master Mang's command, he has the authority to control the guns and kill me."
"Even if he really kills me."
"So be it, I'm sure Master Mang will also know what happened."
"I must go tell Master Mang about this. If you have the guts, shoot me now!"
With that, he walked toward Carriage No. 6 with big steps.
Zhang Damei and the third team's captain exchanged a glance, their faces also darkened, and followed him silently. Although they didn't want to believe Biao's speculation, if President Ai had really betrayed them, it would be a huge blow to the train, and many people would die.
But...
They trusted Biao's strength. With the strength of Biao and Team One, it's impossible for their defense line to be broken through by a thuggish Level 6 Mechanical Train. It had never happened before.
...
"..."
In the train cabin, Chen Mang's lips twitched slightly before looking at Er Dan, "You go to the first floor for a while, I have a little matter to handle."
"Okay."
After Er Dan took the elevator to the first floor of the train cabin.
Ai came into the train cabin, his face full of the words "speechless", looking at Chen Mang, "Train Captain, what do we do now, Biaozi and the others are already coming with a death-wish to expose me."
"Saying I deliberately provided them with false information to try and kill you."
"What to do?"
"..."
Chen Mang looked at Ai exasperatedly, "First, change those words on your face. Can't you be a bit more subtle? Biaozi's not that bright, but even he could figure it out. How sloppy can you be?"
"Train Captain, you're passing the buck."
"Forget it." Chen Mang didn't want to say more, just glanced at the screen and sighed lightly, "They're already outside the door, go open it."
Very soon!
Biaozi strode in, not even sparing a glance at Ai, and walked directly towards Chen Mang, collapsing on his knees, looking grimly hoarse, "Master Mang, I'm not making excuses for myself."
"But Master Mang, President Ai most likely betrayed us!"
"He purposefully gave me false information, letting that thug escape and harm you."
"If Master Mang doesn't believe me."
"I'm willing to exchange my life with President Ai's. The two of us die together; President Ai must be dealt with quickly; otherwise, future troubles will be endless. If there's a first time, there'll be a second!"
Ai looked at Biaozi expressionlessly, switching the words on his face to "tiger" and "fool", not willing to say more.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Chen Mang quietly said, "I know about this matter. Ai misjudged the situation back then, you know there are always bugs occurring. I'm not blaming you for this, let's leave it at that."
"Impossible!"
Biaozi shook his head hoarsely with determination, "Master Mang, you've been deceived by President Ai. I swear it was intentional!!"
"Go back first."
"I won't. Today, one of us must die with President Ai, or we both die! I don't mind dying, but I can't watch the Fixed Star, built up to this point, be wrecked by a treacherous AI."
"If he doesn't die, I will kneel until death!"
Ai switched his face expressionlessly to "dumb" and "fool".
...
"Whew..."
Chen Mang took a deep breath, then stood up and kicked fiercely, continuing to kick angrily as he shouted, "Damn it, does my word not hold anymore?"
"Still kneel until death!"
"Are you acting like a loyal minister sacrificing your life for me!?"
"It was I who ordered Ai to let someone through because I wanted to show off, I wanted to perform a rain of swords, is that okay?"
"You killed everyone; how was I supposed to put on a show?"
"Got it?"
"Damn it, you fool!"
Only after did he catch his breath, tidied his clothes, and looked at the bewildered Biaozi getting up from the ground with a grumpy sigh, "Anything else?"
"Got it... got it."
Biaozi stood there awkwardly, quickly picking up the clothes on the floor and heading out, "Well, sorry Master Mang, I didn't know, I thought..."
"Sorry to you too, President Ai."
"I was drunk just now, just rambling."
