I don't know which area we're in now.

He brought 5000 "Neon City Free Entry Tickets" to Mondo for distribution and changed his attire, deciding not to engage in those deceitful activities anymore—it was a clean break.

Once Mondo goes out, he's off the grid.

Let's see how Mondo is progressing.

Half an hour later.

The Constant Star Train slowly stopped in front of a Level 4 iron mine. This was a mine he had marked on the road, and when the train came to a halt, a group of residents grabbed pickaxes and rushed down to start mining.

The Black Hole Armored Robots and the guard squad started their perimeter checks once again.

"Inform Biaozi that the guard squad needs to expand, each team should be expanded to 30 people."

"I'm going to take a look into Neon City."

"Understood."

...

In Neon City.

It's already Monday near dusk, and today belongs to Neon City's trial run. It will close after nightfall, and the next opening will be next Monday.

Next to the floor-to-ceiling windows of a high-rise in Sun City.

Ai reported the data: "As of now, the cumulative number of Train Captains entering Neon City is 188, with the highest number of Train Captains staying in Neon City peaking at 101, and..."

"Let's sort this data after midnight tonight. How are the batch of goods I sent in a few hours ago performing?"

"All performed quite well."

Ai nodded: "Among daily necessities, 'napkins' performed the best."

"In the tools category, Level 4 pickaxes, Level 4 axes, and off-road motorcycles performed the best."

"Napkins?"

Chen Mang was slightly surprised, but soon understood. It seemed other Train Captains were also facing the challenge of how to deal with hygiene tasks, and the Level 4 pickaxes sold pretty well. After all, not everyone had Murphy Stones to invest in the 'Pickaxe Production Line'."

"At this moment, wanting to mine high-grade ores."

"Purchasing higher-grade pickaxes is a very good option."

"Any unexpected events?"

"No."

"Hmm."

Chen Mang nodded in satisfaction and looked down. He's eager to see what results Mondo will bring in the coming days. If Mondo's efforts prove fruitful, the next reopening on Monday should witness an explosion in activity.

"Also, clothing customization sales were considerable, with several Train Captains placing large orders for a total of over 8000 custom garments, purchased at the price of 100 units of iron ore per piece."

"Equipped with lock temperature effects, not including Spatial Bags."

"That's 800,000 units of iron ore, right? Not bad, quite good."

Currently, Neon City's exchange method is—

One unit of iron ore or one unit of copper ore can be exchanged for 1 Fixed Star Coupon.

But Fixed Star Coupons can only be exchanged for iron ore, not copper ore.

However, until now.

No one has exchanged copper ores for Fixed Star Coupons. Copper ore is vital for survival and is not exchanged lightly. As for wood... he doesn't accept it. This material is mainly useful for making clothes, and it doesn't serve much purpose otherwise; few places need such resources.

After observing for a while, Chen Mang returned to the train cabin; there wasn't much for him to do. Every person's task was arranged, and unless there was an emergency needing his guidance, the rest would be managed by Mr. Li and others.

He sat at the control console, gazing at the upgrade conditions for the Level 13 train!

Contemplating one matter.

Whether to upgrade to Level 13 train first, or gather iron ore to upgrade to Level 16 armor first.

-

"Upgrade conditions": Consume 40,000 units of Level 3 iron ore, require all compartment parts to exceed Level 220, and have over 500 survivors on board.

-

The conditions were simple, all of which he meets.

He quickly decided that the Level 15 armor suffices for now, and upgrading to the Level 13 train comes first; reaching Level 15 train soon to see what changes occur when Xiaolv awakens. He was quite curious about what this S-grade Stellar Giant Beast cub would be like upon awakening.

This was the first time he saw the train upgrade conditions require a number of train survivors.

Naturally, it wasn't many; 500 would suffice.

The parts upgrade requirements were the same as last time, with no changes.

The next moment—

Accompanied by the crushing of 4 million units of iron ore within the train, a line of words slowly floated up on the screen.

-

"Your train has upgraded to Level 13."

"More creatable parts will be unlocked."

-

"Huh?"

Chen Mang was slightly taken aback when looking at the creatable parts, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes. It was the first time he saw parts requiring "Titanium Crystal Ore"; he finally understood what Titanium Crystal Ore could be used for.

-

"Controllable Nuclear Fusion Device": Red-grade part, requires 50,000 units of iron ore to craft.

"Nuclear Energy Transmission Network": Red-grade part, requires 50,000 units of iron ore to craft.

"Viper Unmanned Fighter Jet Production Line": Red-grade part, requires 50,000 units of Titanium Crystal Ore to craft.

-

The first two are advanced replacements for the "generator" and "circuit system."

He had no such anxiety.

Because his generator level was high enough, and his circuit system level was also sufficient.

But for other trains, as their levels increased, the efficiency of the generators started to lag. The solution was to make more generators—use four or five of them.

The "Controllable Nuclear Fusion Device" can convert Energy Stones to energy more efficiently, with almost no loss, while the "Nuclear Energy Transmission Network" can transmit energy wirelessly, without a circuit system, directly across the train.

Quite nice.

However, his generator suffices for now, and he'll consider replacing it after Neon City thrives and iron ore becomes more abundant.
