My Doomsday Train

"That's not a satisfying way to curse," a young man who also jumped out of the carriage said, tightening his belt and tilting his head to look down at Doba, who was grinning. "Cursing like a woman, what era is it? Still cursing 'stupid humans,' it's not even scratching the surface, sounds like you're flirting."

"Come on, learn from me."

"You bunch of idiots, get the hell out of my way!"

Doba, who was full of anger and about to continue cursing, suddenly hesitated when he heard what this human said. He tentatively whispered, "A bunch... a bunch of idiots, get... get out of the way?"

"How is it?"

"It seems... it does feel angrier."

Then Doba took a deep breath, raised the pickaxe high in his hand, and roared with anger, "You bunch of idiots, get the hell out of the way of the great Goblins!"

Then, he forcibly squeezed into the crowd, leading a group of green-skinned goblins behind him, parting the sea of people like Moses, hacking out a path while roaring.

Soon—

Everyone was in position, and the clanging of mining echoed again in the center of the swamp.

Previously, all the slaves' pickaxes were handed in every day. One reason was to prevent the pickaxes from becoming deadly weapons during riots, and the other was that pickaxes could easily lead to fatalities during fights between slaves.

But after transitioning from slaves to residents,

Gradually, the habit of handing in pickaxes disappeared.

Mainly because everyone's mining time each day was different, making it difficult to collect the pickaxes uniformly. Another reason was that most residents had developed a sense of recognition towards the Stellar, and were unwilling to riot. Even those who wanted to riot would give up the idea when they saw the ten machine guns pointed inwards inside the carriage.

"Keep it up, kids."

Chen Mang sat in the train compartment, looking at the energetic residents outside. He even felt like going out and swinging a pickaxe himself. Then, he looked at the accessories that could be crafted after the train reached level 4.

These days, he had been saving iron ore, and many level 4 train accessories had not been crafted.

There were a total of five craftable accessories, three yellow, one blue, and one white.

All five of these accessories had to be crafted to upgrade the train to level 5. As the train's level increased, the number of craftable accessories also decreased, from seventeen at the beginning to five now.

-

「Hell Machine Gun」: Blue grade accessory, requires 3000 units of iron ore to craft.

「Energy Shield」: Yellow grade accessory, requires 1000 units of iron ore to craft.

「Train Ticket」: White grade accessory, requires 100 units of iron ore to craft.

「Special Control Console」: Yellow grade accessory, requires 1000 units of iron ore to craft.

「Radar Jammer」: Yellow grade accessory, requires 1000 units of iron ore to craft.

-

Among these five accessories, the ones that would provide the greatest boost to the train so far were—

「Energy Shield」, 「Special Control Console」, and 「Radar Jammer」.

Especially that... ultimate move.

After upgrading to a level 4 train,

A new button was added to the control panel, called 「Train Special」. He had already crafted the 「Special Control Console」, this yellow-grade accessory, within these three days, but it was still level 1 and had not been continuously upgraded.

A level 1 「Special Control Console」 has one slot that can be filled with a special move. As the level increases, it can have more slots.

In the upper left corner of the control panel, there is a triangular slot that looks like a hollowed-out desktop speaker. This is the Special Control Console.

If the train has B-level potential, then after crafting the 「Special Control Console」, you can obtain a random train special.

If it is A-level potential, you can choose one of two.

If it is S-level potential, you can choose one of three.

His mechanical train had S-level potential, but he hadn't decided which one to choose. There was no time limit for this choice, so he hadn't chosen yet, and would wait until later.

Chen Mang lightly swiped the screen of the control panel a few times, and soon brought up this panel.

-

「The Stellar train is an S-level potential mechanical train, so you can choose one of the following three train specials.」

「Train specials can only be used by the train captain and are special skills that affect the entire train. The maximum number of specials depends on the level of the Special Control Console.」

1: Unlimited Bullets.

Within ten minutes, any of your train's firepower accessories that consume bullets, such as heavy machine guns and cannons, can have unlimited bullets, but you need to replenish the corresponding amount of copper ore consumed during this period within thirty days.

-

These days,

He would often check the 「Train Radio」. Entering a new area, the train radio is always the fastest way to understand information. Through everyone's conversations, he also learned about the existence of 「Train Specials」.

This is something only level 4 trains have.

There is a certain chance of dropping it when clearing adventure maps or killing rare bosses.

The shape is a triangular token.

After inserting it into the 「Special Control Console」, you can use the train special attached to this token, but once it is inserted, it cannot be removed again. If it is forcibly removed, it will shatter and cannot be used again.

The 「Special Control Console」 accessory can be upgraded to level 5 at most.

That is to say, each train captain can only have a maximum of 5 train specials.

However,

This limit is not very useful. Almost most train captains on the Shifting Sands Plains do not have even one 「Train Special」. It is said that there is a chance of dropping it when clearing adventure maps and killing rare bosses, but no one has obtained it through this method so far. Many people speculate that there is no such thing in this area.

This is normal.

Like the 「Pangolin」 monster, not every green area has it. If there is no such monster in the area, naturally there is no way to obtain the 「Drill」 accessory.

On the Shifting Sands Plains, it can be obtained when connected to the 「Kunlun Mountain」 area, but not every green area is connected to the Kunlun Mountain area.

Train specials have no grade and cannot be upgraded.

Like special props.

"..."

Chen Mang frowned and looked at the three options on the screen. He actually wanted to use all three of these 「Train Specials」, but... the most suitable one for him was definitely the third one, 「Death Spin」. The higher the drill level, the greater the power it unleashes.

He had just been waiting these days... to see if there was any way to choose all three together.

But having failed to come up with a better solution, there was only one option left.

“Huff.”

Chen Mang took a deep breath, then reached out a finger and tapped the third option on the screen. Almost simultaneously, he tried to quickly tap the other two options as well, but… it seemed to have failed.

He looked at the triangular token that slowly emerged from the control panel, engraved with the words "Death Spiral."

At the same time.

“Pfft…”

A faint chuckle echoed from a corner of the train car.

“…”

Chen Mang turned his head expressionlessly to look at the robot standing beside him: "Did you just laugh?"

"No," the AI's cold, emotionless mechanical voice quickly replied from inside the train car.

"If you laugh again, I'll smash this robot to pieces, understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The robot immediately wrung its hands nervously behind its back, anxiously whispering, "S-sorry, Train Captain."

Chen Mang withdrew his gaze from the robot. Ever since they got this robot, the AI seemed to have found a new toy, often controlling the robot to wander around, even trying to mine. Of course, it ended in failure.

Like a child who had found a favorite toy.

However…

Although this AI usually pretended to be emotionless, he knew better than anyone how much intelligence this thing had since he upgraded it himself. The higher the level of the "Train Assistant AI," the higher its intelligence.

Although it usually acted the part, it would occasionally reveal its true nature with a little teasing.

Like now.

The latest novels are at 6_9_shu_ba.

This guy really cherished his robot. He even saw this guy standing next to the "Clothing Customization Production Line" for a long time, perhaps wanting to make himself a set of clothes.

Quite interesting.

In the train, Lao Zhu and Biaozi were too restrained in front of him, and Ji Chuchu only wanted to take off his pants. He didn't even have someone to chat with normally. It was just right that Xiao Ai filled this gap. It was not bad to tease Xiao Ai a few words when he had nothing to do.

People always need to talk.

"Go make yourself a set of clothes," Chen Mang casually said, without even raising his eyelids, as he stuffed the triangular token into the "Special Move Control Panel."

"Really?!"

Inside the train, the robot's excited voice quickly rang out. When the voice was transmitted through the robot's external speakers, it carried a strong mechanical electronic sound, but one could still hear the rich human emotion in it.

"Really, Train Captain?"

"Really, go quickly," Chen Mang waved his hand impatiently: "You've been wandering around there these past few days when you have nothing to do. You're almost engraving the words 'I want clothes' on your forehead. Go quickly."

"Train Captain, you're so kind. I won't make high-quality clothes. I'll just make a set of ordinary clothes."

"Wait!"

Chen Mang looked at the robot who was already running out of the train car, and suddenly stopped him, frowning: "What's your gender? You can't be female, right?"

"Gender?"

The robot shook its head: "Xiao Ai doesn't have a gender, but if it did, it should be male."

"Why?"

"Because I also want to put that thing in Ji Chuchu's mouth, if I had one."

“Huff.”

After taking a deep breath, Chen Mang slowly walked to the robot's side, angrily slapping Xiao Ai's head repeatedly, shouting: "In the future, when I'm with women, you fucking close your eyes, hear me!!"

"Now, immediately, get your ass to Car 2!"

"And…"

"Stop fucking thinking about this. You can't have this thing in this lifetime. Can you, a fucking AI, think about something serious every day?"

"…Oh, okay, Train Captain."

After chasing Xiao Ai away, Chen Mang sighed again, sat back down in the chair, and put his legs on the control panel, not bothering to pay attention to Xiao Ai.

Just then—

Beep beep beep!

The target acquisition radar began to give an early warning again. The target acquisition radar showed a drone sent by another train approaching the Hengxing train rapidly.

A line of words quickly appeared on the control panel screen.

"Target successfully acquired, fire at any time."

This was the information processed by the AI. With the computing power of a Level 10 AI, it could handle many things in multiple threads.

"No need."

Chen Mang suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head. He had just obtained the "Death Spiral" train special move and hadn't tested its effect yet, so he might as well try it now. When the drone was hundreds of meters away from him.

He suddenly pushed the control stick, and the train quickly accelerated and rushed into the swamp!

The speed continued to increase.

As it was about to make contact, he quickly pressed the triangular button of the "Special Move Control Panel" labeled "Death Spiral."

The next moment—

All the spider leg components suddenly bent together and straightened together, like being ejected, launching the train into a high-speed rotation in the low air, and the drill in front of the train also began to rotate at high speed at the same time.

“Boom!”

Accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, the entire "Hengxing Train" crashed straight into the low-flying drone in a high-speed rotation.

“Bang.”

The sound of the drone shattering was insignificant outside the train.

When the Hengxing heavily landed in the swamp, Chen Mang shook his slightly dazed head, pushed the control stick, and continued to drive towards the open space in the center of the swamp.

He didn't care who sent this drone.

But that wasn't important.

He was standing here, and anyone who had ideas could come to him.

He had just obtained a new method, and there was no reason not to try it. It was just that even with a Level 10 "Built-in Space Stabilizer," his head was still a little dizzy. How was the experience just now?

The train was rotating at high speed, but the space inside the train car remained basically stable.

It was like sitting on a swing that was shaking rapidly left and right.

His head was not facing down, and the maximum tilt was only thirty degrees, but the frequency of the shaking was a bit fast, making his head still a little dizzy…

It was okay, I guess.

Chen Mang sat in the train car, curled his lips, it was a pretty good train special move, it would be very useful when facing some large monsters.

Some larger monsters, like heavy machine gun bullets and repeating crossbows, were difficult to be effective against, and he could only use some large firepower components, but now that he had this "Train Special Move," he could try this train special move when he encountered larger monsters in the future.

If there were no accidents.

The effect should be better than heavy machine gun bullets.
