The Fixed Star train hovered above the ground, moving forward at a steady speed that wasn't too fast.

The acceleration was extremely fast.

In less than a second, the speed of the Fixed Star train reached 328 km/h, yet the interior remained stable, with not even a ripple in the water on the table. When speed is too fast, it consumes more energy, so when there's no rush, saving a bit is wise.

His target is.

The "Extreme Cold Plain" at the far west of the Crisis Valley region.

The Crisis Valley region intersects with four regions, including two blue regions and two green regions.

His goal for this trip is one of these regions.

He plans to head to the purple region in 10 days, when renovations in "Neon City" are complete. Then, he can issue entrance tickets in these three blue regions, and then follow the "Train Tunnel" to issue them again in the Shahe Plain and Tieling Wasteland regions.

From the white region "Tieling Wasteland" to the blue region "Crisis Valley" is a straight line.

That means, to go higher from Tieling Wasteland, one can only reach Crisis Valley, with no other path to choose, and the initial number of users he can reach is limited and unable to spread far.

He must find a way to connect with people in more areas to have a sufficiently large user base.

About three hours passed.

He saw the familiar region junction again, with four large words floating on the light screen at the region border, and two lines of text appeared on the control panel screen once more.

-

"The area ahead is a blue area, the Land of Extreme Cold."

"Level 12 monsters may exist, the current train level is Level 12, the danger factor is relatively low."

-

Crisis Valley does not intersect with any purple regions, to reach other purple regions ahead of Crisis Valley, one must go to the blue regions to the west and east, "Land of Extreme Cold" intercepts with six regions.

One white region, one green region, three purple regions, one yellow region.

The temperature here is extremely low.

As soon as he entered this area, sitting in the train, Chen Mang felt bursts of cold seep into the train compartment, the surface of the train even quickly frosted over, the screen indicated the temperature was "-58℃".

The biting cold was fundamental.

Poured water freezing instantly was just the basic.

When idle, if you want to lick the train armor, you could practically half destroy your tongue, but at least the taste was nice, sweet, with a slightly warm rusty flavor.

"..."

Sitting inside the train compartment, Chen Mang looked at the various pieces of information appearing on the screen, the temperature in this area was extremely low, which would affect the train in all aspects, not to mention that residents could not mine normally under such conditions.

After a day's mining, for sure one or two would freeze to death.

Not kidding.

Especially when the warming measures are insufficient.

There were also hardly any trains in this area, and naturally, no mines, only some monsters that liked icy environments. This place was mostly used as a transfer station, yet from time to time trains would come here to hunt monsters.

Monsters in this area had a chance of dropping train accessories like "Sled" and "Snow Machine" upon death.

At this moment——

"Toot toot toot!"

A train whistle came from afar, immediately followed by the sight of the "Traveling Frog" shooting towards them from afar, gradually slowing as it approached the Fixed Star. As the first-level door of the Fixed Star opened, the Traveling Frog successfully entered the Fixed Star's front compartment.

Then.

Covered in cold air, Er Dan took the elevator from the first level of the train compartment to the second, striding towards Chen Mang, exhaling hot air and saying, "Master Mang, you called for me."

"I have to say."

"Now returning to the Fixed Star feels like coming home, full of a sense of security."

"Hmm."

Chen Mang nodded, sitting in the chair, turning half a circle towards Er Dan and smiling: "I see you haven't found the Adventure Map, so take some time off. Over the next ten days, you and your crew can relax in the Resident Carriage."

"Prepare to head to the purple region in ten days."

"Besides, aren't you at a Level 10 train with Level 9 armor, right now? Use this time to upgrade your train to Level 12, and upgrade the armor too."

"No worries, take your people there, Old Pig will take care of you."

"Alright!"

Er Dan grinned, nodded heavily: "Master Mang, you really understand those eager young ones under me, they've been craving this for a long time."

"I'll go down and bring them up."

Soon——

Er Dan brought his thugs and took the elevator back to the first-level train compartment: "Why aren't you greeting Master Mang!? Why are you just standing there?"

"Greetings, Master Mang!"

The dozen thugs looked at Master Mang with respect and excitement, bowing in unison and speaking loudly.

"Hmm, go down and have fun."

"Thank you, Master Mang!"

...

The dozen thugs followed closely behind Er Dan, taking the elevator to the No. 2 carriage, glancing around curiously, as this No. 2 carriage was truly large, 10 meters wide, 10 meters high, and 30 meters long.

This is no longer just a train carriage.

It felt like standing inside a space station, and a massive one at that, with many large production lines arranged around, most awaiting operation, only a few lines were running, continuously producing one item after another.

Aside from them, there was no one else in the whole space.

It seemed quite lonely.

On the ceiling were embedded 100 heavy machine guns, and... dozens of Mechanical Eyes, the density of cameras was even higher than in a Haidilao hot pot restaurant.

"Dan."

One of the thugs following behind grumbled a bit: "Why did you just tell us to greet Master Mang? We weren't just standing there."

"We were about to say it ourselves when you interrupted."

"It seemed like we were forced into it by you, would Master Mang think we're ignorant?"

"Eh?"

Er Dan, somewhat speechless, turned his head to look at the thug standing beside him: "I realize you can be a bit thick-headed."

"Let me ask you, before Doomsday, when relatives visited your home, didn't your mom also urge you to say hi instead of just standing there? Did you freeze at that time too? Even if your mom didn't say that, you'd have greeted them, right?"

"Do you understand why?"

"If not, think it through slowly, now let's shut up and keep going."

...

Three minutes later.

Er Dan and the crew of thugs arrived at carriage No. 5, for female high-talent passengers.

This compartment was split by a corridor, with a row of hard sleepers and a recreation space on the left side of the corridor; he knew that only Master Mang's two women lived here.

"Looks like I should give Master Mang a suggestion... "

Er Dan glanced up at that section door 30 meters away, murmuring to himself.

To install bicycles throughout the train because this is just carriage No. 5, to reach carriage No. 11 would take quite a walk.

Normally, he wouldn't walk this slow.

Primarily because...

It's so fascinating.

This was his first time walking from end to end in the Fixed Star train, so he couldn't help but look at everything, it all seemed so novel, the preceding carriages were mostly empty.

As they walked into carriage No. 7, Old Pig came up to greet them with a smiling gaze.

"Next, I'll take you around the train."

"Master Mang said we're all family, no need to be too formal. Even though you don't have an Iris Chip, you are still directly associated with the Fixed Star, sharing in its honor and disgrace, come, this way."

There were gradually more people in the carriages behind.

One could see quite a few residents walking back and forth in the carriages.

Old Pig, leading up front, introduced as they walked: "There aren't many active residents now; most are asleep. Everyone mined all night last night."

"Usually, there would be more residents active here."

"But more often, they're active in the Gate of Space."
