Every monster has its own characteristics.

For example, the Red-eyed Rabbit is extremely agile and incredibly fast. Even with automatic targeting, his "Heavy Machine Gun" struggles to hit it in open terrain. He once experimentally fired 100 rounds of level 1 bullets, all missing completely.

However, in free fall, it almost loses all its agility, and the Train Assistance AI easily predicts its falling trajectory, allowing the level 3 bullets fired to almost all hit the target.

He consumed 300 rounds of level 3 bullets just to blast off the two arms of the level 3 zombie.

But to kill these two level 3 Red-eyed Rabbits, only 51 rounds of level 3 bullets were consumed.

Although both are level 3 monsters, there is a stark difference in defense; of course, size is also a crucial factor.

...

Chen Mang controlled the train to drive off the spider silk, and with the help of the "Spider Legs," he descended to the bottom of the gorge. He then looked at the harvest from this expedition with satisfaction—it was indeed a bountiful haul.

Having spent many days immersed in the Train Radio, he had gained a much deeper understanding of this world.

In this world.

Few trains take the initiative to kill bosses. One major reason is that the effort and reward aren't necessarily proportional; to kill a boss requires a massive consumption of copper ore. It can be said that a train's attack relies almost entirely on copper ore.

Another reason is that the main material needed for a train's development is basic mineral resources. While blueprints and special tools dropped by killing bosses are nice, even without them, the train can still develop steadily—they are extras or can increase the train's upper limit.

Many trains reserve copper ore as a critical resource for emergency use, only activating Firepower Accessories like Heavy Machine Guns in times of crisis. On regular days, they won't actively provoke bosses, and the best choice upon encountering a boss is to run.

Constantly changing locations in the wasteland to avoid monsters while mining is the survival tactic of many trains.

In fact, this is indeed a helpless move.

He painstakingly mined copper ore for 5 days, and it was exhausted in one night. The level 3 Heavy Machine Gun bullets indeed aren't affordable by ordinary people—at least one must capture a level 2 copper mine to afford it.

At this moment, his train's copper ore units are at 0, completely depleted, leaving just over 700 rounds of level 1 Heavy Machine Gun bullets.

In fact, he didn't even need to open fire; letting these two rabbits fall into the Doomsday Abyss gorge was probably fatal, but this way of dying wouldn't likely credit the first kill to him, nor would it give him rewards.

"Now comes the time for inventory..."

Chen Mang extinguished the cigarette in a cola can beside him, then took another chilled can of cola from the fridge, and after drinking half the can in one gulp, the refreshing cola instantly calmed his excited mood by a large part, eyes full of anticipation as he looked at the massive haul inside the carriage.

Satisfying.

The cola in his hand naturally contained sugar; he never drank sugar-free cola, let alone room temperature cola.

Is sugar-free cola something humans can drink? If it's room temperature, it's worse than darn Chinese medicine.

...

The reward for killing the Corpse Tide is set aside; there's not much substantial.

The biggest gain is naturally the first kill reward.

Although it's a level 3 boss, which is the lowest boss level in this world, after all, it's a first kill, so the reward is much richer than killing an ordinary level 3 boss.

-

"Choose one of the following first kill rewards..."

1: Level 2 copper mine, level 2 iron mine, level 2 Wood Field Refresh Coupon, choose one.

2: Rare Train Order.

3: Yellow-grade Vehicle Accessories Blueprint "Compound Eye Watchtower," limited to Flesh and Blood Train loading.

-

Without much hesitation, Chen Mang chose the first reward, which is the level 2 copper mine Refresh Coupon, a special tool, with a very simple effect: after use, it can generate a level 2 copper mine in any area.

However, it is one-time use.

Unlike other naturally generated mining areas, which have a chance to regenerate after a period of time, the specific duration is not standard—it can be fast or slow.

With this.

He can generate a level 2 copper mine at the bottom of the Doomsday Abyss, ensuring he won't worry about copper ore for a long time ahead.

Greatly compensating for his lack of firepower.

Although these three rewards are all good, he didn't have much choice. His Constant Star Train was built with the "Rare Train Order," which he already has, and a train built with the Rare Train Order gains an additional red-grade Vehicle Accessory each at levels 1 and 2.

Other than that, there isn't anything too special.

Most Train Captains don't build their first train with the "Rare Train Order," and if they get this special tool by chance, they might indeed consider restarting the project.

As for the third choice.

It's an exclusive accessory for the "Flesh and Blood Train," its effect is almost equivalent to the "Target Detection Radar," except it uses the eyes of thirty-six carbon-based life forms as a carrier, a sort of upgraded version possessing all the Target Detection Radar's effects, plus an additional attack effect.

Besides that—

The two level 3 Red-eyed Rabbit bosses themselves dropped quite rich rewards, one male and one female.

-

1: Special tool, "Doomsday Marriage Certificate."

2: Blue-grade Vehicle Accessories Blueprint "40-barrel Sakura Fall Rocket Cannon."

3: White-grade Vehicle Accessories Blueprint "Reproduction Spray."

-

"..."

Chen Mang's eyes turned almost instantly red as he looked at the rewards dropped by these two rabbits, staring directly at that "40-barrel Sakura Fall Rocket Cannon," his breathing gradually becoming more rapid—this is a major weapon!

There's no need to even look at the grade.

Just by the name, it's clear that it's much more powerful than the "Three-legged Cat Heavy Machine Gun!"

Capable of providing suppressive level firepower coverage, this is something heavy machine guns cannot achieve; of course, its consumption mustn't need mentioning either—it basically belongs to the bottom-drawer major weapons!

But—

Major weapons like this, you might not need them, but you can't not have them!

Just like a man over 25 might not need sildenafil, but his nightstand drawer can't be without sildenafil.

Similar to the "Continuous Bed Crossbow," this accessory can't be directly installed on the carriage; it requires taking up a whole "Open-air Carriage" section, with one Open-air Carriage being able to install four "40-barrel Sakura Fall Rocket Cannons."

"Whew..."

A moment later.

Chen Mang raised his head to look through the sunroof at the sliver of starry sky above the Doomsday Abyss, uncontrollably grinning—good stuff, this really is good stuff, even if this thing is crafted without ammunition, just having it there to look at is pleasing.

Installing four of these on the train, for the trains on the Tieling Wasteland, means every one of them has something to reckon with—what train would dare entertain ideas?

As for the remaining two rewards.

Perhaps because these two rabbits were crushed during their pleasure time, the two special tools they dropped are also related to enjoyment.

"Reproduction Spray," white-grade accessory.

It can be independently installed in a carriage, putting uninformed life forms in estrus and speeding up reproduction and offspring growth. A breeding carriage can be specifically crafted for raising chickens, pigs, cows, sheep, etc.

"Doomsday Marriage Certificate."

"..."

Chen Mang weighed two red booklets in his hand, slightly frowning, this thing... really is a good thing, it's quite helpful for the train's future upscale to level 3, but the conditions to trigger it are difficult, needing to find a genuinely loving couple to join the train and hold a wedding for them.

However... finding a genuinely loving couple in the apocalypse, that condition can't be called anything but strict.

Talking true love in the apocalypse?

That's complete bullshit.

Even the most genuine emotions would be scattered in a post-apocalypse, just like he never asks Old Pig if he's truly loyal to him.

If it's usable by him, then it's loyalty.

If it's not usable by him, then it's not loyalty.

Anything that can be used by him, that's his possession, there's no need to ponder whether it's truly his, nor need to think whether they're genuine.

Women and everything else, are all like this.

If it can be used, then that's enough.
