My Doomsday Train

Chapter 18: "Level 0 permission detected. This vehicle component can continue to be upgraded."

Old Zhu came anxiously and returned excitedly.

Inside the train car.

Chen Mang watched Old Zhu's departing back and shook his head with a slight smile. He naturally knew why Old Zhu was so happy. On the one hand, he genuinely hoped that the train would develop better and provide a safe haven in this crisis-ridden apocalypse.

Secondly, only by considering this aspect could Old Zhu maximize his value. This was also Old Zhu's own selfish motive. After all, if he didn't consider these things at all and just enjoyed fighting all day, then Old Zhu would have no reason to exist. Even the earliest members would gradually lose their position as time passed.

He understood this very well.

No one is without selfish desires. If a person has no selfish desires, they are probably thinking about destroying the world or some other nonsense.

At this moment, he was the only one left alone in the train car. He picked up the pen and notebook on the table and began to write and draw.

"If you can use the train to hit people, don't waste bullets."

This was his summary of today's battle.

Yes.

He regretted it a little. When those people got off the train, why did he waste those bullets? He could have just controlled the train to run them over.

But if they had scattered and fled back to their own train, it would have been much more troublesome to deal with.

Thinking about it that way, it wasn't so bad after all.

Then, he took out the white vehicle component blueprint, "Car Blade," from his pocket. With a thought, 500 units of iron ore in warehouse car #2 slowly turned into powder and melted into the car.

Immediately afterwards—

He felt the entire train car trembling slightly.

He immediately walked out of the train car, stood on the wasteland, and looked at his train number.

"Heh!"

Standing on the wasteland, Chen Mang looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but grin. Steel blades had appeared on both sides of the "Stellar" train head and its three cars!

The position was about one meter above the ground.

Just enough to cut zombies in half.

The "Car Blade" completely covered the entire car, with a thickness of about ten centimeters. The front end was not sharpened and was not very sharp. Even if you rubbed hard on the blade with your hand, you wouldn't bleed because the blade was too thick.

-

"Component Name": Car Blade.

"Component Grade": White.

"Component Level": 1.

"Component Effect": Steel blades will be installed on both sides of the car, causing damage to enemies approaching the car during driving. Can be retracted freely.

"Upgrade Condition": 100 units of iron ore.

-

"This..."

Chen Mang was slightly stunned. He originally planned to look at the component panel first and upgrade it later. After all, it cost 500 units of iron ore to create it, and the iron ore required for upgrading would definitely be more. He didn't have that much iron ore at the moment.

He didn't expect that it would only take 100 units of iron ore to upgrade to level 2.

Then what was there to hesitate about?

Upgrade!

With the subsequent upgrade, the white vehicle component "Car Blade" had already reached level 2. The thickness of the steel blade seemed to be a little thinner, and the blade seemed to be more obvious, but the width of the steel blade had increased by a full 10 centimeters.

At this time, the width had reached 40 centimeters.

During driving, all creatures approaching the car within 40 centimeters would become souls under the blade.

The panel basically didn't change, except for an extra line of small print.

"The upper limit of this vehicle component is level 2 and cannot be upgraded again."

"I don't believe it."

Chen Mang shook his head and said again with some anticipation: "Upgrade!"

However...

There really wasn't any change, as if it really couldn't be upgraded again. Chen Mang lowered his head to look at the birthmark on the back of his hand, put his right hand on the birthmark on his left hand, and said again in a deep voice: "Upgrade."

The next moment—

"Level 0 permission detected. This vehicle component can continue to be upgraded. This upgrade will consume 200 units of iron ore."

Immediately afterwards!

The "Car Blade" began to change again in his eyes. The blade became thinner again, and the width also increased again by 10 centimeters, reaching a full 50 centimeters.

"Not bad."

Chen Mang couldn't help but smile. The main purpose of this upgrade was to test the effect of the "Unlimited Upgrade" plugin. It seemed to be quite good. Although he didn't understand what level 0 permission meant on the panel, it didn't matter.

As Old Zhu said, the "Car Blade" white component was a novice transition component.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

In terms of effect, even if it is upgraded to the maximum level, it may not be as good as some green-grade offensive vehicle components.

Even if it is upgraded to level 3, it is not much stronger than level 1.

But—

He has no upper limit.

The effect of each upgrade of this component is that the blade surface becomes thinner and the blade becomes wider. As long as he has enough iron ore, he can completely have a "Car Blade" with a width of 10 meters.

Like wings, hanging on both sides of the train. If you slam the accelerator, you can take off directly if you encounter a bump or something.

And no upper limit for upgrades means that if he has enough iron ore, he can even strengthen the car blade to be as thin as a cicada's wing, even completely invisible, only seeing people killed invisibly.

Wherever it passes, not a blade of grass grows!

No, he needs more iron ore!

Only in this way can he complete his grand plan!

Chen Mang withdrew his gaze from the "Car Blade" and looked at his train captain panel. He only had 700 units of iron ore left at this time, and he was reluctant to upgrade the "Car Blade" again. This thing doesn't show too much effect below level 10 and cannot produce qualitative changes.

A slave can obtain 1 unit of iron ore per hour of mining. If they mine for a full 12 hours a day, they can obtain 12 units of iron ore.

He has 81 slaves.

The maximum amount of iron ore he can obtain in a day is basically 972 units.

The mining time is at most 12 hours. Any more than that would be a bit too much. The main thing is that it is difficult to guarantee that there will be ore to mine every day. After all, there are too many accidents in the wasteland. He currently only knows about this one mine and has no means of discovering other mines.

Most importantly—

His train only has the initial "Energy Stone" that comes with it, and one Energy Stone can only allow the train to travel at full speed for 100 hours. The train must be upgraded to level 2 and a "Crafting Table" must be created before Energy Stones can be manufactured.

In other words, if he doesn't upgrade the train to level 2 within these 100 hours, his train will have to be completely stranded.

He just calculated it simply.

Ignoring everything else, just creating those vehicle components necessary for train upgrades, plus the iron ore required for train upgrades, would require approximately:

"7100 units of iron ore, 110 units of copper ore, and 100 units of wood."

Honestly, this condition is not low, especially with the time limit.

At least he doesn't know where to mine copper ore and wood at the moment.

Isn't this a bit of a disastrous start for a new train captain? He doesn't know how other new train captains get through this period smoothly.
