In the "Land of Extreme Cold," because the weather is excessively cold, the consumption speed of Energy Stones is too fast.

...

Soon—

The Constant Star Train returned once more to "Crisis Valley" and stopped on the ground.

Outside the window, Zhang Yi was piloting the "Pope" Mecha, getting familiar with using it in the open space outside.

-

"Pope."

"Close-Combat Burst Type Mecha."

"Remove all firepower configurations, maximizing the defense and speed of the Mecha."

"External armor and built-in giant hammer are Level 12, the maximum speed reaches 640 km/h, embedding a Level 4 Energy Stone enables full combat for 50 hours, detailed Mecha attributes are as follows..."

"Requires the operator's Physical Comprehensive Quality to be above 23.0, to exert full power above 23.5."

"No requirements for Spiritual Power."

"Construction cost is 1.08 million units of Red Heart Rock."

-

An extremely expensive Mecha, just the construction cost amounts to 1.08 million units of Red Heart Rock.

At that time, the Level 3 Red Heart Rock ore they discovered in the Tieling Wasteland, even after complete extraction, only yielded 180,000 units of Red Heart Rock.

It would take extracting six or seven such Level 3 Red Heart Rock ores to be enough to construct such a Mecha.

But, as expected of a purple-grade Mecha, the basic data in all aspects is extremely terrifying.

The most expensive part of this is the Level 12 external armor.

Across the entire Crisis Valley, no train possesses Level 12 defense, only the Constant Star train does. In other words, Zhang Yi, piloting this Pope Mecha, could single-handedly take on a Level 10 train.

An 11-level train wouldn't quite do, after all, although an 11-level train does not have 12-level armor, it most likely has 13-level weapons...

The maximum speed is also extremely fast.

Standing ten meters tall, slightly larger than the "Thunderbolt" Mecha.

It's just...

"..."

Chen Mang looked out the window with a calm expression at the Mecha, almost as tall as the Constant Star train, wielding a massive Wolf Fang Club that looked almost as thick as the Mecha itself.

It had a bit of a child swinging a pickaxe feel.

Not very matching.

But—

Tiger-like and imposing, extremely powerful, exaggeratingly so, flaunting its prowess, with twice the results for half the effort!

That enormous Wolf Fang Club was the weapon of the monster in the train tunnel's cave, and after taking it from them, for some reason, instead of shattering when the giant monster died, the weapon remained intact.

This weapon is Level 15.

Far stronger than the Mecha's own weapons, at that time, a single strike almost dented the car with 13-level armor on train No. 5, the power is imaginable. It's only that the weapon is quite heavy, naturally leaving it for Zhang Yi to use.

The only regret is that the forced block skill belonged to that monster itself and was not inherent to this weapon.

Otherwise, it would be delightful.

If it had built-in forced block, this weapon not only would have 15-level attack strength, but also extremely strong defense strength, when it was hit repeatedly by a 17-level Mecha cannon, there was no sign of it cracking or breaking at all.

It's practically a Divine Artifact.

Pretty good.

Love it.

...

The next ten days passed in peace like this, and nothing major happened.

They took a detour into another blue zone as well.

Didn't find any Level 4 mines, mostly Level 3, if they saw them, they mined them, it was quite random.

Considered it a vacation.

Spent a day to play a new film directed by "Zhang Yiren" for all the residents, and the leading lady of the new film became immensely popular again, though it's unclear if there was a problem.

Many young women on the train who sold their bodies took out all the savings they had accumulated and offered them to Zhang Yiren, hoping to become the leading lady in his next film.

At worst, they would accept a supporting role with plenty of screen time, one that showcases beauty and sexiness.

This development trend was a bit bewildering to Old Pig, and he didn't know whether to stop it, so he came to report to Chen Mang.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mang let the matter develop on its own without restrictions, as it was the residents' own business, and the train would eventually evolve into an ecosystem. From some perspective, this was a good thing, a sign of vitality.

Although it sounded a bit strange.

During these ten days, the transformation on the Neon City side was also completed, and Chen Mang freely distributed a batch of "Neon City Free Entry Tickets" in several blue and white zones, marking their first batch of customers.

At this moment.

Chen Mang was standing at the floor-to-ceiling window of the high building in the "Sun City" Entertainment City in Neon City, with Old Pig and Qi beside him.

Qi was introducing pointing to a place not far away.

"Master Mang, according to your plan, nearly sixty percent of the still operating stores have moved near Sun City and every store nearby is operational."

"The other stores, if not fixed by machinery or other reasons, could not be relocated."

"All stores' operating systems are directly connected to the core system you left, and the revenue will come to you, but Master Mang, I still need to leave a reminder."

"Our action is tantamount to robbing all the stores. If the owners return in the future..."

"The regular procedure is imprisonment and execution by firing squad."

"The irregular procedure is direct execution by firing squad."

"Mm."

Chen Mang nodded, overlooking countless Train Captains with slightly furrowed brows. At this time, more than 30 Train Captains gathered in a shop, standing in front of the glass with faces full of curiosity looking towards the street.

Many passersby were moving back and forth on the street.

They were all robots.

However, he had dressed these robots, which did not have typical mechanical features, in decent clothes, making them act as pedestrians, walking back and forth on the street, serving as a crowd. Otherwise, this place would seem deserted, lacking the feeling of a commercial center.

That shop was the starting point.

He set it so it was only possible to leave the starting point on Mondays, other times they had to stay here, for now, there were too few people.

Besides, he didn't use the Constant Star train's name, but... Adventure Map.

The "Neon City Free Entry Ticket" produced entry tickets with panel information that can be freely changed, and the public trust of the Constant Star train was virtually zero, needed to be built from scratch, after all, many people hadn't even heard of the Constant Star, but the public trust level of the Adventure Map was different.

Directly full.

...

"This is..."

Neon City, in the initial shop, a middle-aged man stood curiously at the glass window on tiptoe, looking at the comings and goings of passersby outside, somewhat excitedly said: "Is this the legendary Adventure Map? Indeed extraordinary."

"The legendary Adventure Map?"

A tall woman nearby frowned: "What level is your train?"

"Level 2."

"..."

The tall woman speechlessly withdrew her gaze and muttered: "What kind of Adventure Map is this that even a Level 2 train is eligible to enter, feels very low-grade."

"Hey, young lady, that's a bit arrogant, what level is your Train Captain?"

"Level 11, any problem?"

"Then nothing..."

The middle-aged man sheepishly shrank his head: "Senior, this map screen clearly states that Train Captains can't attack each other, you can't cause trouble here."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Even if her train level is higher, she's unarmed here, afraid of her?"

Someone on the side began to instigate.

"You don't understand, this is out of respect, after all, it was hard enough to level my train to Level 2, I completely have no idea how hard it is to get to Level 11."

"Not that hard, I'm Level 12."

"Ah, another big shot?!"

"By the way, where did you guys get your 'Neon City Free Entry Ticket?'"

"I picked it up."

"So did I, I picked it up too."

"All picked it up?"

"Yep, not me, I killed a zombie and found it in its mouth."

"Then it's about the same as being picked up. If it was dropped, it wouldn't appear in this form."
