Even though the train had already been upgraded to Level 13, the Doomsday Cannon remained the best firepower accessory on all trains.
No reason needed.
Cheap, cost-effective, everyone loves to use it, and he was no exception.
His copper mine had not yet reached the level where he could build freely.
Chen Mang looked at the residents who were already mining the iron ore outside the window, with a slight smile on his lips. He now had several channels for obtaining iron ore.
Residents mining ore.
Solar Energy Panels.
Two "Cosmic Receivers," with the remaining ones still under construction.
Neon City.
He had a premonition that there would be an explosive growth next.
...
After the train rose to Level 13, not only did it gain several new accessories, it also gained a new functionality.
"Dream Manufacturing."
It can create different dreams, implant them into the minds of the sleeping train members, and it requires the consumption of "Dream Stone" to enhance the spiritual power of the train members.
Somewhat similar to the "Combat Training Virtual Space."
But one is used to improve physical comprehensive quality.
The other to enhance spiritual power.
"..."
Chen Mang looked at this brand-new button on the console and laughed. So this is how Dream Stone was used, but he had a more useful method. He looked at the single bed in the corner.
A 99% capacity Dream Stone was still embedded on it.
The Level 100 supermodel effect of the single bed is that after embedding a Dream Stone, there is a chance to bring an item from the dream upon waking up, and the Dream Stone's consumption depends on the value of the item.
What more needs to be said?
"Ai, tonight after I fall asleep, make me a dream where I'm mining in a Level 10 iron ore with a pick."
"Uh..."
A hesitant voice came through the train room speakers: "Train Captain, one piece of Level 10 iron ore is equivalent to 10 billion units of iron ore. Wouldn't it be too valuable and consume too much Dream Stone to bring it out?"
"Try it first, if not, then we'll see. Have you found anything from the lock of hair I gave you last time?"
"A bit, it's not quite human hair, more like... from a Stellar Giant Beast."
"Stellar Giant Beast?"
Chen Mang frowned slightly, recalling the nightmare he had last time. It was definitely not a beautiful dream, but the woman by the shore didn't seem like a Stellar Giant Beast at all.
He said no more and started to anticipate the nightfall with a bit of expectation.
...
Soon—
It got dark.
Chen Mang had already finished his washing and was fully prepared, lying on the bed with hidden anticipation.
Only perhaps due to a bit of too much anticipation, he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Only then did he realize.
There were many arousal-inducing things in the train, but nothing to help sleep.
"Train Captain, do you need help sleeping?"
"Play a song?"
"No, lower the oxygen content."
"That's called fainting, damn it."
Half an hour later.
Groggily, Chen Mang finally fell asleep, perhaps because of what he had been thinking about, when Chen Mang appeared in a field of Level 10 iron ore with a pick, he vaguely realized that he might be dreaming.
But soon, he forcibly suppressed his thoughts.
Worried that waking up would spoil it all.
The Level 10 iron ore was so beautiful...
Colorful and glowing in rainbow hues.
Chen Mang excitedly grabbed the Level 10 pickaxe and rushed over to start mining hard, mining harder than the residents. This was his first time mining since coming to this world – he didn't even mine back on Master Kun's train.
It felt pretty good.
Next to him were 20 bottles of cola and an oxygen generator.
...
At midnight.
Mr. Li, who returned from Neon City, found President Ai in Carriage 2: "President Ai, can you take me to see Master Mang? I have today's data report for him. The results are very good; Master Mang will surely be happy to know."
"Not now, Master Mang is mining."
"Mining?"
Mr. Li stood there dazedly confused. He did indeed see some residents mining in the nearby quarry upon his return, but what did it mean for Master Mang to go mining?
He had only stayed in Neon City for a day, and could the Fixed Star really have declined to such a state?
How many people had to die for Master Mang to personally go mining...?
"Yep."
Ai, who was squatting on the ground repairing a mecha, casually said without a backward glance: "Mining in the dream, go back and report in the morning."
"If possible, best to come at noon."
"Uh..."
Mr. Li detected the meaning in President Ai's words and tentatively asked, "President Ai, can you please make it clear?"
"No clarification, go back and sleep, don't disturb me."
Ai waved a hand, too lazy to say more.
The Train Captain mined all night in a dream.
If he woke up the next morning and successfully brought out a piece of Level 10 iron ore, regardless of what Mr. Li said, the Train Captain would be in a good mood. But if he didn't bring it out and was tired all night, then his face probably wouldn't look too good, and Mr. Li would likely suffer some unwarranted disaster.
To be honest.
He didn't think the chances of bringing anything out were great.
After all, it was clearly stated that the supermodel effect says there's a small chance to bring out an item from a dream—and since one item had already been brought out last time, how could it happen again this time? It's not reasonable for such a small probability event to occur twice in a row.
The odds were just too low.
So he had already made up his mind not to bother the Train Captain too much tomorrow to avoid being scolded.
...
"What a pity."
Returning to Carriage 15, the Breeding Carriage, Mr. Li looked somewhat regretfully at the report in hand. The results of the first day's trial run were excellent, too bad Master Mang went to bed so early.
Ai's body was still absent in Neon City, working with Li Shiji and Qi to perfect some unreasonable discoveries from today.
At the moment, Mr. Li was the only one in the entire train who knew this data.
"Mr. Li, you're back." The young man who had been following Mr. Li greeted him with a beaming smile.
"Yes, I originally went to report to Master Mang, but found he was already asleep."
"What happened on the train today? When I walked past Resident Carriage 8, why was Biao hung up on the wall?"
"A lot happened today, but you weren't around, and due to my insufficient authority, no one told me much, so I could only use my eyes to observe. First, we went to a city ruins, then there seemed to be some teleportation gate activity back and forth, and in the end, a fight broke out with another train. Biao got caught in the blast from the train's self-destruction during that fight and was severely injured and then was hung on the wall."
"I went to see it, the injuries were pretty serious, looked quite grisly—106 steel fragments were taken out of his body. Master Mang mentioned that if it were anyone other than Biaozi, they wouldn't have survived."
Mr. Li nodded appreciatively at this statement, fully in agreement: "With your position, you certainly can't access some of the core matters. But that's okay, if you perform well, once I finish setting up the Zombie Spawn Cage, securing your place in the Breeding Carriage shouldn't be a problem."
"Give me the gloves, I'll go check the progress."
"Mr. Li, you've been working from last night till now. Aren't you going to sleep?"
"Only useless people sleep."
"Uh... Mr. Li, you just said Master Mang is sleeping."
"..."
Mr. Li silently paused with a blank face for a while before he gave himself a slap: "What I meant was, I'm a bit slow, a slow bird must start early, and I can't sleep."
"Get me a few cans of cola."
"Okay."
