"The external appearances of the Adventure Map in each area differ, but the principle remains: young shoots from mountain fires, hope within despair."

"In this doomsday, noticing these details shows you're a Train Captain with sharp insight."

"Currently, the number of Train Captains who have successfully cleared the first level is 18."

"When the count reaches 20, the Adventure Map will permanently close; you and the other 19 Train Captains from various regions will proceed to the second level, competing for that final treasure."

"It's a gift that can make the hearts of countless Train Captains race."

"Given by the Mechanical Little Princess 'Tuo Tuo', a grand gift to the wisest on this planet!"

"Please keep this token safe."

"Before the second level starts, the token will emit a red light. Be prepared within 48 hours, as the second level will open at the end of the 48th hour after the red light starts flashing."

-

The panel on the screen gradually faded.

Then the screen shattered, the fragments compressed in the air to form a triangular token and an "Admission Ticket", which fell to the ground, with a Teleportation Gate appearing beside it.

The first level has ended.

The second level has yet to begin.

...

Returning to Er Dan, Chen Mang looked dazedly at the Admission Ticket in his hand.

-

"Special Tool": Admission Ticket to the Wise Miner's Area.

"Item Effect": Contains ten untouched level 4 iron mines, ten untouched level 4...

-

Previously.

He had encountered the most densely resourced area at the end of the Train Tunnel, guarded by a two-headed monster, with no less than three level 4 iron mines, allowing him a substantial profit, quite gratifying.

However...

The mining area accessible through this Admission Ticket boasts ten level 4 iron mines alone.

Each level 4 iron mine generally has a reserve of around ten million units.

Ten mines equal a hundred million.

"Enough, this is enough now."

Chen Mang murmured looking at the Admission Ticket in his hand, sufficient for train upgrades and armor upgrades; with so much Titanium Crystal Ore, he could craft many unmanned fighter jets, along with a whole lot of wood and Red Heart Rock, overflowing resources...

If only all that wood and Red Heart Rock could be exchanged for iron mines.

Wood was truly inexhaustible.

He needed iron mines, another twenty level 4 iron mines, life would be so comfortable, he dared not even imagine...

"What's enough?"

Standing beside him, Er Dan tiptoed to view the distant, gradually quieting red zone, excitedly and eagerly asked, "Master Mang, the war in the red zone has stopped, how did you clear it? Those questions were so difficult, how did you figure out the answers?"

Chen Mang turned to look at Er Dan, hugged him tightly, then fiercely kissed his bald head, laughing loudly: "Good job, your Traveling Frog has done perfectly!"

"Keep doing it this way in the future, I always have faith in you!"

Er Dan hesitated for a moment, then quickly broke free, shivering slightly said hesitantly, "Well... Master Mang, won't you think my method of exploring the Adventure Map is often wrong?"

"Like in Ice and Snow World, and this Dusk Coast."

"What's wrong with mistakes?"

Chen Mang waved his hand indifferently: "Make mistakes freely, make mistakes casually, who hasn't made mistakes since ancient times? Can a sage truly make no mistakes?"

"If a person doesn't dare to make mistakes, they surely can't create exciting things either."

"It's like walking a tightrope bridge; abyss to the left, wealth on the right, and stability at the end."

"Only by falling can one have the chance to touch wealth."

"Be bold in the future, even bolder, whatever happens, I'll back you, Chen Mang!"

"Okay!"

Er Dan nodded heavily, gratefully smiling: "With your words, I'm relieved, I love doing this kind of thing, but how did you actually finish it, knowing the answers to those questions, how old is the Mechanical Little Princess 'Tuo Tuo'?"

"38 years old."

"Huh? 38 years old and still a Little Princess?"

"Quite normal, perhaps the Mechanical Civilization has longer lifespans."

"Oh oh, Master Mang, now I know there's a Mechanical Civilization in the universe, and our trains are methods of the Mechanical Civilization, but I still don't know whether the Mechanical Civilization is made of robots or half-human half-machine, how does the civilization inherit, through reproduction, or through AI gaining wisdom?"

"I don't know either, but for now it's not important, if we survive, we will eventually know."

"What if we die?"

"If we die, I'll burn incense to inform you." Chen Mang patted Er Dan's shoulder meaningfully: "The reward for clearing is abundant, I'm off, I'm a bit anxious, already got 1 million units of iron ore and 2 million units of copper ore moved down from the train car for you."

"Use the copper ore boldly in the future."

"If you encounter any flora you don't like, spray a round first."

"I trust you to handle things."

"I'm leaving."

Chen Mang didn't linger, quickly heading toward his train compartment, he was eager, anxious to check out what's inside the "Wise Miner's Area," and swiftly extract all those mines!

In the upcoming period, his main tasks will revolve around "Wise Miner's Area" and "Neon City," utilizing all acquired resources for train upgrades.

He temporarily doesn't plan to venture into the red zone.

Though the zone difference is only one level, it feels there's quite a disparity between the trains.

The trains in the red zone seem fierce...

He's uncertain if he could withstand them.
