It looks highly spectacular.

This map is truly difficult. Even the "normal task" is this hard. Is it possible for anyone to clear it in extreme mode?

In extreme mode, you not only face greater difficulty but also have only one life.

If you die on the map, you experience genuine brain death in the outside world.

"Train Captain."

Ai, who was standing by his side and watching with him, spoke up: "Biaozi's force is becoming increasingly precise. Each time, the strength is just right, and he instinctively protects his vital parts. When engaged in close combat with the enemy, he can swiftly assess whether the injury trade-off is worth it."

"Biaozi's combat experience is rapidly improving."

"If he truly can clear it three times."

"It would be akin to being reborn."

"Quite so."

Chen Mang nodded in agreement, withdrawing his gaze to the three-dimensional diagram of the train on the screen. His "Bee Swarm Platform," a drone-operating accessory, has been upgraded to Level 10, but both corresponding supermodel effects are none.

In addition to this—

The "Car-mounted Zombie Perception Shield," a green-grade accessory, has also been upgraded to Level 10 after consuming 45,000 units of iron ore.

The effect after reaching Level 10 is that the train can be immune to the perception of zombies up to Level 10.

Compared to the effect, the cost in iron ore is quite cost-effective.

However...

Most of the time, it's not much use, as he's not particularly afraid of the Corpse Tide. Discovering it doesn't do much good, unless facing zombies of levels eighty or ninety, where it becomes very useful.

It's worth mentioning that this accessory requires the "Handheld Zombie Perception Shield" as a special tool during its creation.

He still has two of these special tools.

After using one, there's still one left.

If he hadn't traded it on the Tieling Wasteland, he would have had three.

The handheld version can only block the perception of Level 1 zombies and is basically useless, only handy during the novice period for saving one's life. In contrast, the car-mounted version has much more space for use.

He currently possesses 12 Murphy Stones.

These past few days have yielded quite a harvest, which prompts a day's rest to utilize these gains.

He looks at his Train Panel balance.

There are 525,000 units of copper ore and 470,000 of iron ore.

"Have Doba and that Black Market Merchant come over."

"Received."

...

"Great human prophet."

Doba and the Black Market Merchant, looking serious, stood in the train chamber and bowed toward Chen Mang.

Chen Mang took a few Red Heart Nuts from a plate beside him and handed them over to the two with a smile, saying, "I heard these are the goblins' favorite snack. Later, let Ai take you to the production carriage to grab some and have them as snacks during your free time."

In his train chamber, there was a plate dedicated to Red Heart Nuts, which Fang would replenish when it was almost empty.

It's not that he needs the supplement.

He simply thinks these taste quite good and make for a crisp snack.

"This..."

When Doba and the Black Market Merchant goblins took the Red Heart Nuts, they froze in place, their eyes turning red. As they gingerly placed the nuts in their mouths, tears uncontrollably welled up, and they trembled as they spoke.

"This... is the taste of home."

"It's been so long since I've seen Red Heart Nuts. I never thought I'd taste them again in my lifetime."

"Mm."

Chen Mang wasn't too surprised at their reaction. After all, if he were to taste some unique food from the previous world, he'd probably feel a bit disoriented too. These two goblins appearing on this planet essentially meant they were far from home.

This world originally didn't have such things as goblins.

But this wasn't his reason for summoning them; he pulled out ten "Goblin Train Tickets" and handed them to Doba.

"These are Goblin Train Tickets. No matter where you are, once you crush the ticket, you can return to the Constant Star Train."

"Give them to him."

"Let him teleport randomly, then crush a train ticket to return. There are no specific tasks; getting some information would be ideal."

"For instance, when he teleports to other regions, observe what he sees, any monsters, etc..."

Chen Mang paused briefly, then created a Mechanical Eye and a Level 2 Energy Stone, using the Mechanical Heart to make something akin to a black box, linking them to obtain a head-mounted camera.

"Attach this to his head. The main task is to bring back various information."

"Understood?"

"Understood."

Doba nodded seriously, indicating his understanding.

"Alright, head down if you understand."

Chen Mang gestured for him to leave.

The price of a Goblin Train Ticket is slightly higher than that of a Train Ticket. One Train Ticket costs 100 units of iron ore, while one Goblin Train Ticket costs 500 units of iron ore.

He didn't directly converse with the Black Market Merchant.

This goblin appeared not very sharp-minded. The phrase he uttered when Er Dan was on the train was exactly the same word-for-word as when he first encountered him, as if programmed.

Doba handling it would suffice.

Among this batch of goblins, Doba seemed to be the only one with a sharper mind.

So when they first met, Doba claimed he was the smartest among the goblins; it wasn't an exaggeration. A good kid, he never lied.

...

"You do this... then this... finally this... did you understand?"

Doba stuffed ten Goblin Train Tickets into the Black Market Merchant's arms, fixed the camera to his chest, and packed some Red Heart Nuts into his pocket before explaining.

"Today, aren't you able to teleport randomly up to ten times?"

"Use all those ten times on this trip, and when you run out of energy to teleport, crush a Goblin Train Ticket to return."

"Did you remember?"

"Remembered."

The Black Market Merchant, with his mouth puffed like a squirrel and full of Red Heart Nuts, uttered indistinctly, "I'm off, King Doba."

"Go, and may you return triumphant, bringing glory to the Goblin Race!"

Doba solemnly placed his hands on the Black Market Merchant's shoulders, his expression reverent yet solemn, resembling a king granting honors to a general.

In the next moment!

A white flash passed, and the Black Market Merchant instantly vanished without a trace.

...

"Truly a good assistant for exploration."

Chen Mang looked at the control panel screen where the Black Market Merchant was no longer visible, not knowing his location, only deducing that he was still alive from the Train Members panel, unclear if he remained in the Shahe Plain area.

So far.

His understanding of this world is essentially limited to these four areas: "Shahe Plain," "Kunlun Mountain," "Ice and Snow World," and "Tieling Wasteland," completely clueless about other regions.

But with the Black Market Merchant,

He could learn about events in other areas, and even though he might not be able to reach them, it would offer a clearer understanding of the world. It's unknown whether the Black Market Merchant can teleport to all areas or only within one randomly.

They'll know by testing it.

When the Goblin Merchant returns the next morning, the camera they carry will provide plenty of information.

It's widely known.

In any strategy game, the importance of exploring the map is exceedingly high.

"..."

Chen Mang looked back at the mineral resources on the Train Panel and anticipated saving enough iron ore to upgrade the train to Level 6 and proceed to the yellow area.

Originally contemplating leaving the Shahe Plain and visiting the "Undersea Maze" Adventure Map for more Murphy Stones.

Presently, it seems there's no immediate opportunity for that.

He had asked Er Dan.

To dive underwater, the "Deep Sea Shield," a blue-grade Vehicle Accessory, is a must-have. Though not highly graded, it's exceptionally rare.

It can only be acquired by defeating the "Green Dragon" monster.
