My Doomsday Train

Chapter 140 Special Item: "Order of Civilization".

The "Specialty Control Panel" has been successfully upgraded to level 10.

Both supermodel effects are null. After upgrading this accessory, the only option is to obtain more slots.

"Hmm."

Chen Mang pondered for a moment and spent 240,000 units of iron ore to upgrade the energy shield to level 3. This thing is also priced according to the number of carriages, so the price is not cheap. It can only resist energy attacks. The level 5 supermodel effect can resist physical attacks, but energy will be consumed when attacked.

Level 3 is enough.

When the train's special skill "Absolute Defense" is activated, his defense level can reach level 9. On the Shifting Sands Plains, nothing can harm him with this level 9 defense.

There are still 139,000 units of iron ore left.

It's almost time to consider upgrading to a level 5 train.

He looked at the upgrade conditions for a level 5 train.

-

"Upgrade Conditions": All five essential vehicle accessories must be crafted and consume 20,000 units of level 2 iron ore. The level of all accessories in the carriages must exceed level 100.

-

The conditions are much simpler than before.

There are no requirements for the carriages. He has ignored the accessory level requirement. He only needs to consume 200,000 units of iron ore. After today's mine is completely excavated, he can directly start upgrading.

"Moreover…"

Chen Mang narrowed his eyes slightly. Each time the train is upgraded, fewer accessories can be crafted, and the upgrade conditions become fewer and fewer. If this continues, when upgrading to level six or seven, there will be basically no accessories to craft.

That is to say, all accessories will need to be obtained on his own by then.

It feels like the beginner's guide mission in the early stages.

After the beginner's guide is completed, he will have to explore on his own.

Day three, dawn.

This level 2 iron ore mine has been completely excavated, yielding a total of 210,000 units of iron ore.

Without further hesitation,

he immediately took out 200,000 units of iron ore to upgrade the train.

Soon—

-

After upgrading to a level 5 train, the number of craftable accessories is even fewer, only four.

However, a new function has been added to the control panel.

"Mecha Crafting."

"Huh?"

Chen Mang was slightly stunned as he looked at this new function. It was not an accessory, but a new function that allowed him to customize an exclusive mecha based on a single-soldier exoskeleton.

It was a real mecha with defense and ranged attack capabilities.

Not like a single-soldier exoskeleton.

The stronger the mecha, the higher the operator's overall physical qualities need to be.

However, crafting mechas requires "Mecha Blueprints," and he currently doesn't have any.

But there is good news.

Crafting mechas does not consume iron ore, but "Crimson Heartstone." This is a rare resource. He mined a full 180,000 units of it in the Iron Ridge Wasteland. It has been unused for a long time and is almost rusting in the refrigerator.

He originally thought that he would not use this thing for a long time, but he didn't expect that it could be used when the train was upgraded to level 5.

"This is a good thing."

Chen Mang smiled. It seemed that his 180,000 units of Crimson Heartstone could finally come in handy.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a card from the drawer, inserted it into the control panel, and looked at the string of coordinates displayed on the screen. The Stellar train immediately sped away into the wilderness!

The thing is good, but it can't be used without a mecha blueprint for the time being.

He decided to go to the "Goblin Ruins" to see what was going on first.

Two hours later.

After speeding all the way, the Stellar train slowly stopped in front of a low mountain. This mountain looked unremarkable, with a height of only a dozen meters. If it weren't for the fact that the surroundings were all plains and there was only this one protruding thing, he wouldn't even want to call it a mountain.

The next moment—

as the card in his drawer flashed with white light,

the low mountain in front of him suddenly cracked open, revealing an opening that the train could pass through.

It seems that this card is not only a map, but also a key.

The moment the Stellar train drove in, a line of text appeared on the control panel screen.

-

"You have successfully entered the Goblin Ruins map."

-

When the train completely entered this passage, the small mountain closed again, seamlessly concealing any trace from the outside.

The passage goes downwards.

After proceeding along the passage for about a dozen minutes, the train arrived in the middle of an underground plaza.

Countless murals were engraved on the surrounding walls, depicting scenes of goblins mining, living, singing, dancing, and performing sacrifices.

At the edge of the plaza was a "Goblin Train."

However, it was already in a state of disrepair.

The next moment—

a light curtain appeared out of thin air above the plaza.

-

"Welcome to the Goblin Ruins."

"Goblins were once the most industrious race in the universe. They never thought of dominating the universe, nor did they have any ambitions. They only wanted to coexist peacefully with humans and build their own underground city in peace."

"And then occasionally scold the foolish humans. This is their only hobby. It wasn't like this before. Ever since humans often insulted goblins as ugly, this hobby was added."

"However…"

"the advent of the apocalypse caused this extremely insignificant race in the universe to declare complete extinction."

"Perhaps, in the distant future, there may be a possibility of the goblin civilization being revived, but before that, you can first accept the last gift of the goblin civilization before its demise, make yourself stronger, so that human civilization can survive a little longer in this disaster."

"Please select one of the following five difficulty gifts and receive the corresponding reward upon completion."

"Failure will prevent you from accepting other tasks again."

-

S-level Difficulty Gift: A spark will always ignite a prairie fire. Even if a civilization declares complete extinction, there will always be some remaining sparks of hope. You need to collect the remaining goblins in the days to come and let them receive the protection of your train. When more than 50 goblins receive your protection, you will successfully complete the task.

ps: After the civilization is destroyed, all goblins will lose all their wisdom and become monsters. Perhaps they will attack you, perhaps they will cause trouble, but be as tolerant as possible towards them, for the sake of the Order of Civilization.

Reward: Order of Civilization.

-

A-level Difficulty Gift: You will fall asleep here for 30 days. During these 30 days, your consciousness will be pulled into a virtual space, which is the final battle when the goblin civilization declared its demise. Successfully surviving for 30 days will clear the level.

ps: Your train will appear in the virtual space in a materialized form.

Reward: A random blue-grade accessory blueprint.

-

B-level Difficulty Gift: Next, only you will be able to see a video about the destruction of a certain city of the goblin civilization before its demise. After watching it, you will be asked five questions. Answering four correctly will clear the level.

ps: The answers are all in the video.

Reward: A random yellow-grade accessory blueprint.

-

C-grade Difficulty Gift: Your consciousness will be attached to a goblin and enter an extremely dark place. You need to grope in the darkness to find a pickaxe and a mine, and mine 12 units of iron ore within 24 hours.

ps: If searching fails, you cannot choose this difficulty.

Reward: A random green-grade accessory blueprint.

-

D-grade Difficulty Gift: A female goblin will appear next. You need to share a room with her.

The latest novels are available on 69shuba!

ps: Try to create one that matches your aesthetics.

Reward: A random white-grade accessory blueprint. All accessory blueprints produced in this map belong to the exclusive accessories of the 'Goblin Train' and can only be produced in goblin relics and other places closely related to goblins. They can be used for 'Mechanical Trains' but not 'Flesh Trains'.

-

“.”

A trace of shock flashed in Chen Mang's eyes. He would naturally choose this S-grade difficulty task. Needless to say, he could complete it once he chose it.

It's just that...

This panel made him realize that this is how some monsters are formed.

When a civilization is destroyed, the remaining members of that civilization will be reduced to monsters, such as goblins... or zombies.

The zombie monsters in this world are not infected by a certain virus, nor are they transformed from people in this world, but suddenly appeared in this world after the apocalypse.

In other words, those zombies...

In fact, they were humans from a certain planet a long time ago, but under the apocalypse, the civilization of that planet was completely destroyed, so they became these monsters.

If the human civilization of this planet declares its destruction, they will also become zombie-like walking corpses and join the next planet in the form of monsters, becoming one of the apocalyptic monsters.

Um... this shouldn't have anything to do with him, right?

He came through time!

There was no apocalypse in his previous world. Even if the human civilization of this planet is destroyed, it shouldn't affect him, right? It shouldn't...

Chen Mang was a little unsure. How can it be considered a complete destruction of civilization? Is it the end of the countdown? Or are there other determining factors?

After a while.

Chen Mang shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he asked Doba to get out of the car to see if he could select all options, oh, except for the last one. After all, this is a goblin ruin, and it's the goblins' home after all.

Sure enough.

Doba, who had just jumped out of the car, looked at the goblin murals on the surrounding walls, and his eyes instantly turned red, and then he knelt on the ground and howled. Obviously, he missed his home and the family before the goblin civilization was destroyed.

It's quite touching.

But now is not the time to think about this. Chen Mang jumped off the train and pointed to the light curtain in the air and looked at Doba: "Can you help me select all these options except for the last one?"

“What options?”

Doba, who was originally kneeling on the ground in pain, heard Chen Mang's voice, looked up at the direction he was pointing, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and shook his head: "Great human prophet, I can't see the options you are talking about. There is only air there."

“.”

Chen Mang frowned slightly. It seemed that only he, as the conductor, could see this light curtain. Since this is the case, there is no choice. He immediately chose the S-grade difficulty gift.

Almost the moment he made his choice, a voice sounded in his ears again.

-

「You have successfully completed the S-grade difficulty gift in the adventure map 'Goblin Ruins'.」

「Obtained the special item 'Token of Civilization'.」

「This is a rather special item. It may not improve the strength of your train, but in the long run, it will rekindle your confidence in hope in despair.」

-

Chen Mang lowered his head and looked at the Token of Civilization in his hand, a token shape, I don't know what material it is made of, but he weighed it and felt it was quite heavy.

-

「Special Item」: Token of Civilization.

「Special Effect」: This token can help you rebuild a civilization. It is recommended to use it with caution. At least upgrade the train to level 20 before using it. Whether it is rebuilding your own civilization or rebuilding other people's civilizations, it will make you reappear at the dinner table, thus attracting countless enemies.

There are only two kinds of existence in the universe, hunters and prey.

Activating this token will allow you to enter the 'Goblin Tomb', which is an extremely dark space with a large number of resource mines. Each entry can last for 48 hours, and you can enter once a month.

ps: When a civilization is destroyed, the last remaining belief of this civilization will form this special item. The birth of each special item comes from the manifestation of belief. Each special item has a story behind it.

-

“Very good.”

Chen Mang weighed the token in his hand and smiled. Doba once told him that every time he died, he would appear in a dark space. There were many resource mines and various things scattered on the ground in that space.

Doba built his own goblin train in it.

And now...

With this Token of Civilization, he can also enter this place. That will be an Eden that only he can set foot in, where a large number of fruits are available for him to pick at will.

Although special items have no grades.

But this special item is completely ranked first among all the special items he has obtained.

The reward for the S-grade difficulty level, 'Heart of Machinery', is a bit inferior to this special item. Well... it can't be said that it's completely inferior, the focus is different.

Then Chen Mang looked at the light curtain in front of him that was quickly disappearing.

A thirty-minute countdown appeared on it.

He needs to leave this adventure map within thirty minutes.

As for the C-grade difficulty gift...

「Your consciousness will be attached to a goblin and enter an extremely dark place. You need to grope in the darkness to find a pickaxe and a mine, and mine 12 units of iron ore within 24 hours.」

The gift of this difficulty shows that the search failed and cannot be selected.

That is to say...

In that extremely dark space, the sleeping goblins are actually only the group behind him?

That's not right.

When he was in the Iron Ridge Wasteland, many goblins were killed by other conductors. Those goblins should have returned to this dark space called 'Goblin Tomb', right?

Why can't I choose it?

Chen Mang pondered for a long time, but he didn't understand, so he simply didn't think about it. He has a good habit. If there are things he can't understand, he won't think too much about them, so that he won't have mental exhaustion.

Many people's psychological problems often come from having to think about those problems that they can't understand.
