He glanced at the Train Radio again. A few minutes ago, he inquired within the train radio who had the accessories that could produce oxygen and the train's headlights. Immediately after he sent the message, the train radio blew up.

Many people were very excited, some were expressing reverence for the expert, while others were asking about his experience, etc.

But...

Until now, no one privately messaged him claiming they had the relevant accessories.

"Hmm..."

Chen Mang suddenly thought of something, placed the chips aside, picked up a bottle of ice-cold cola and drank half of it, before sitting up straight at the control panel, looking at the green-grade accessory "Train Radio" in front of him.

This accessory is Level 1.

Of course, he never thought about upgrading this accessory before, because according to the information he obtained, upgrading this accessory did not provide any effect enhancements; upgrading or not upgrading had no effect.

But he suddenly wanted to see what the Supermodel Effect of this accessory would be if upgraded to Level 10.

So he did it.

After consuming 9000 units of iron ore, "Train Radio," the most commonly used and often overlooked accessory, was successfully upgraded to Level 10 by him, obtaining two corresponding Supermodel Effects.

-

"Train Radio Level 5 Supermodel Effect": You can pin your speech at the top of the screen, each time consuming 10 units of iron ore.

"Train Radio Level 10 Supermodel Effect": You can trade remotely with other Train Captains via train radio.

-

"Ah?"

Chen Mang was slightly stunned on the spot, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes; it was only because he owned two Level 2 iron mines and didn't have to worry about iron ore for a while, so he upgraded "Train Radio" to Level 10 on a whim.

Unexpectedly, the Supermodel Effect turned out to be so perverse.

The Level 5 Supermodel Effect is equivalent to a controllable advertisement slot.

The Level 10 Supermodel Effect is even more so, saving him a lot of time; from now on, he doesn't need to go to gatherings for trading with others, just trade remotely.

This far exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought the Supermodel Effect might allow joining the chat rooms of other regions.

Yesterday, when he went to "Kunlun Mountain," amidst his busy tasks, he glanced at the train radio and found it blank without joining the Kunlun Mountain region's chat room. It should be because he was just a passerby without formally entering the green region, lacking the necessary permissions.

"Good stuff."

Chen Mang glanced at the other inconspicuous white accessories in the train room, such as the "telescope," and decided that once this batch of iron ore was mined, he would upgrade all the accessories that could be upgraded to see their Supermodel Effects.

Maybe one of these inconspicuous accessories would have a perverse Supermodel Effect.

Before upgrading "Train Radio," he didn't know the accessory effect would be so perverse.

Without further delay.

He directly sent a message, pinned at the top of the Train Radio.

"Constant Star Train": Seeking accessories that can produce oxygen, train headlights, and other accessory blueprints. If you have any grade accessory blueprints, feel free to privately message me for negotiation.

This sentence was wrapped in a golden frame, occupying one-seventh of the screen, floating at the top of the Train Radio chat room, looking extremely eye-catching.

The group paying attention to the Train Radio were all furiously typing question marks.

-

"Iron Tree Train": "?"

"Please Let Me Live Train": "?"

"Feces Sea Mad Maggot Train": "?"

"Tonsils Never Speak Train": "Bro, how did you manage to pin your speech in a golden frame?"

"Protagonist Train": "Wait, bro, I've read about this plot in a novel. Did you have foreknowledge of the Doomsday, just in time to spend a fortune, investing millions before Doomsday struck?"

"Hong Qigong Train": "I scolded my AI harshly, yet it still refuses to explain how to pin a golden frame at the top."

-

Chen Mang glanced at the train radio, quickly filtering out useless nonsense, yet didn't find the message he was hoping to see, and at that moment, his train radio suddenly beeped with a private message.

It was from the Protagonist Train.

Honestly speaking, he wondered what kind of person would name their train like this.

But, thinking it over, it wasn't a problem; everyone is the protagonist in their own story, and he too is the protagonist in his life.

And the message from the other party was brief.

"I have an accessory that can produce oxygen."

"What do you want, name your price."

"No price, bro, I'll give it to you."

"..."

Upon seeing these words, Chen Mang even wondered if he had read them wrong. Wait, this is Doomsday, you are giving away an accessory blueprint for free, are you doing charity here?

This is risking life to do charity.

Why not take some iron ore to upgrade your own train to keep yourself alive during Doomsday?

"?"

"Bro, I've noticed you since you just rose to the Tieling Wasteland Regional Rankings, later quickly rising to dominate the top. I observe you have the air of a protagonist; based on my experience, before the protagonist truly rises, showing goodwill will surely result in great blessings later."

"This accessory to produce oxygen I don't need, giving it to you doesn't cost me anything."

"Just hoping when you truly rise, you could share a bit of the leftovers with me so I could survive a few more days."

"Bro, send me your coordinates, I'll deliver it to you."

"..."

Chen Mang expressionlessly stared at these lines of text in the private chat box. It was clear this guy probably read a lot of novels and firmly believed in the "Protagonist Theory". Once such a person picks who they think is the true protagonist, they'll work hard to latch onto the protagonist.

Can't say it's good, nor bad.

Just feels weird because he always believes more in the theory of interest, knowing he could die any day, doesn't believe the "Protagonist Theory."

"No need, give me your coordinates, and I'll trade remotely."

"Ah? I'll try."

...

On the other side of Tieling Wasteland, inside a Level 2 train, a young guy sitting before the control panel tentatively input his coordinates into the chat box, not fully reacting before seeing the top of the Train Radio next to him.

A golden "Balance Scale" slowly appeared.

The left end of the balance scale was virtual, and the right end was tangible. He tentatively placed the green-grade accessory blueprint in his hand on the right side.

The next moment—

Accompanied by a flash of white light.

The accessory blueprint suddenly disappeared.

"What the heck!"

The young guy couldn't help jumping off the control panel, staring incredulously at this scene, stunned in place. Damn...it's so high-tech?

He knew that even a Level 3 train doesn't have this remote trading function.

How did the Constant Star Train achieve this?

He noticed the Constant Star Train because when "Regional Rankings" first came out, his rank was just below the Constant Star Train, and he subconsciously wanted to catch up to it.

But then...

While chasing, the Constant Star Train sprang to the top rank.

He witnessed the exponential perverse growth of the Constant Star Train, forcefully climbing to the top in a Level 2 train, suppressing numerous Level 3 trains.

Without waiting for his reaction.

The originally virtual left side of the balance scale also delivered a bunch of stuff, all tumbling onto the control panel.

There were two packs of cigarettes, a thousand units of iron ore, ten hot stuffed buns, and even a pornographic magazine.

"This fellow..."

The young guy gazed at the heap of things, finally picking up the pornographic magazine, muttering in a somewhat dazed manner: "Enough to do things meticulously, but... did this fellow forget I'm a Train Captain too, not lacking women here."

However, he quickly had a somewhat disappointed look, realizing that the man had refused his friendly gesture.

Just then—

His train radio rang again.

"Your kindness is appreciated; don't easily give away your resources during critical moments, they are life-saving."

"A small gift, accept it."
