In reality.

The people currently at the top of the "Regional Rankings" have their influence value mostly built on "accessory levels," unlike him, who has completely relied on it. Others mostly accumulate theirs through... slave quantity and the base influence value of a Level 3 train.

...

Another seven days passed.

The Level 2 copper mine was thoroughly mined, yielding a total of 140,000 units of copper under the overtime work of over 200 slaves.

All this copper was stored by him in a specially crafted Level 10 fridge.

Considered strategic reserve resources.

With this batch of copper, even if the "bed crossbow" and "car blade" can't handle certain threats, he can rely on "rocket launchers" and "heavy machine guns" to clean up, but... such situations are rare.

In the "Tieling Wasteland" zone, currently, there shouldn't be any existence that can threaten him anymore.

Inside the train, there are currently 60,000 units of iron ore and 140,000 units of copper ore.

Chen Mang extracted another 45,000 units of iron ore, upgrading the "Resource Detection Radar" to Level 10 in one go, increasing its detection range to 10,000 meters, and additionally obtained two supermodel effects.

-

"Resource Detection Radar Level 5 Supermodel Effect": Can estimate the harvestable quantity in the detected mine.

"Resource Detection Radar Level 10 Supermodel Effect": Can obtain the next refresh time of a depleted mine.

-

He hadn't had time to carefully inspect these two supermodel effects yet.

"Beep... Beep... Beep."

On the control panel.

The screen started beeping loudly.

"Damn!"

Chen Mang took a deep breath to forcibly calm his emotions, only to see on the resource detection radar that next to that underground river cave, 2,000 meters underground, there were two Level 2 iron mines.

Estimated harvestable quantity: 380,000 units of Level 1 iron ore.

He was genuinely tempted!

Furthermore, not only at 2,000 meters deep, but down further at 5,000 meters deep is a Level 3 "Red Heart Rock" mine, estimated to yield 1,800 units of Level 3 Red Heart Rock.

He still has some of this Red Heart Rock in his train.

It's what dropped from that Cannibal Spider he killed in the past, but he hasn't found a use for it yet. It's a rare high-grade resource.

Why do these high-grade resource mines refresh all the way underground.

However...

He could see them but couldn't possess them, as his Constant Star Train doesn't have the ability to traverse underground. Though...

"..."

He glanced at the abandoned goblin train outside the window. This goblin train could indeed travel underground, but it was completely unusable now, with no way to repair it, thoroughly scrapped.

Should he send Doba back to that dark space and have him craft a goblin train again?

Forget it.

He quickly discarded this idea.

It's unrealistic, not to mention the time it would take; even if it did come out, it wouldn't be in his region. Who knows where Doba might be teleported.

Must he just watch the wealth before his eyes without being able to obtain it?

Hold a meeting, brainstorm!

...

Soon——

The train room filled with people.

Old Pig looked at the screen of the resource detection radar displaying the two Level 2 iron mines at 2,000 meters underground, hesitated for a moment, then was the first to speak: "In the Doomsday Abyss at 2,000 meters deep, which is 8,000 meters from the surface."

"These two iron mines are in the underground river. If we could find the source of this river, we might not need the train to have underground traversal capability; we could follow the river to reach the mines."

"Ahem." Biaozi lightly coughed: "That's a bit unrealistic, the underground river is extremely complex, some places as wide as a lake, others as narrow as a bucket, the train simply can't enter the river, it's basically a fantasy."

"Even if this underground river is perfectly flat, the train doesn't have the ability to advance through water."

"..."

Chen Mang scanned the crowd, seeing they had discussed for half a day without coming up with a useful idea, he immediately waved his hand: "Bring Doba to me."

...

"Drill?"

Covered in green skin, Doba stood inside the train head, frowning as he tiptoed to look at the abandoned goblin train outside the window: "My original goblin train could indeed... but... hmm..."

"The 'drill' white-grade accessory is a built-in craftable accessory for the goblin train. I truly don't know where to obtain this accessory..."

"Besides..."

"Wait, I remember, killing a monster called 'Pangolin' has a chance of acquiring this accessory blueprint, but these monsters generally reside in mountain areas, while our area... doesn't seem to have any mountains."

Old Pig and Biaozi exchanged glances, seeing the anxiety in each other's eyes.

This was Master Mang's first time convening all the management staff to discuss an issue, and they were all eager to offer a viable suggestion to prove their worth.

However...

The problem was too tricky, they really couldn't think of a solution.

Especially Old Pig, who was almost going crazy, as he had always prided himself as a talent in internal management, Biaozi might not come up with something and it would be understandable, but if he couldn't, it would seem like his ability was lacking.

"Pangolin?"

Chen Mang leaned back in his seat, with slightly narrowed eyes thoughtfully, rhythmically tapping his knuckles on the table. He indeed knew where there were mountains, at the far west side of the "Tieling Wasteland," there's the "Kunlun Mountain" area.

That area is full of vast mountain ranges, should be able to find pangolins.

But...

It's a high-level area.

Low-level trains can enter high-level areas as long as they're not afraid to die; the risk level skyrockets.

His Constant Star Train can move freely in the Tieling Wasteland but going to the Kunlun Mountain range, Level 3 monsters could be everywhere, and even more dangerous creatures are present, dangers are evident.

However, possessing the "spider legs" accessory, traveling to Kunlun Mountain wouldn't be too inconvenient.

He didn't immediately make a decision.

Just disbanded the meeting, let everyone return to their position in the carriages, putting this aside for now, first head to the "Taiping City" ruins, to get some slaves.

With the "Target Detection Radar," those survivors hiding in the ruins could be easily found by him.

The two mines at the bottom of the Doomsday Abyss have been thoroughly mined, and through the supermodel effect of the "Resource Detection Radar," the next refresh times for these mines are after 62 days, for now, it's not worth returning to this place.

...

"Boom!"

The engine roared, as the Constant Star Train, which had slumbered in the bottom of the Doomsday Abyss valley for so long, accompanied by the stretch of mechanical legs, rapidly ascended the cliff, climbing swiftly on the steep walls.

When the sunshine finally shone upon the carriages once again.

The Constant Star Train reappeared on the surface, switched back to Wind-Fire Wheel mode, roaring quickly towards the Taiping City ruins!

...

An hour later.

"..."

Chen Mang took a deep breath, staring intently at the distant wasteland, his inner thoughts set on going to Kunlun Mountain, as during this hour, the resource detection radar had sounded three times.

Buried deep beneath the Tieling Wasteland are plentiful iron and copper ores!

The entirety of the Tieling Wasteland is practically a large resource mining district, only that many high-grade resource mines are buried deep underground.

He couldn't just stand by and watch these resources remain buried deep in the earth.

Once he truly moves on to high-level areas in the future, returning to Tieling Wasteland would be impossible.

Kunlun Mountain, he must venture!
