"..."

Chen Mang looked at the gaze from the two people and walked over, gently lifting Ji Chuchu's cheek, softly saying, "You really are quite good looking."

"Such looks, truly not bad."

"..."

Under the moonlight.

Raising a toast to the bright moon, casting shadows that turn into three people.

...

One hour later.

Chen Mang returned to the train cabin, leaned on the chair and exhaled deeply, resting his feet on the table, lazily lighting a cigarette while dazedly gazing at the starlit sky beyond the window.

As the Train Captain.

He couldn't stay in the cabin all the time; he had to periodically go to the ground and inspect things.

This time inspecting his own train also gave him a clearer understanding of his train, even though the control panel screen displayed a 3D map of the train, seeing it directly was more intuitive.

He looked at the conditions to upgrade the train to level 7.

-

"Upgrade conditions": 3 essential Vehicle Accessories all crafted, consuming 50,000 units of level 2 iron ore, with all accessories in the train compartment being over level 140, and clearing an Adventure Map once.

-

These conditions were already completely met.

The train still had 732,000 units of iron ore, totally meeting the upgrade conditions, these few upgrade conditions were immediately satisfied.

Not hesitating further.

He directly chose to upgrade.

After consuming 500,000 units of iron ore.

The next moment -

A panel floated onto the control screen.

-

"Your train has been upgraded to level 7."

"More buildable accessories will be unlocked."

-

As long as the train could meet the upgrade conditions, he would generally proceed with upgrading directly, not needing to wait further, other people would wait because they were concerned about excessively high train level wasting resources, given that upgrading the train required consuming 500,000 units of iron ore.

Post-upgrade, the train essentially witnessed no improvement.

But when the 500,000 units of iron ore were invested into any accessory, it became a real enhancement, hence many trains opted to prioritize upgrading accessories before raising the train level.

He didn't have this worry.

His foundation ran exceptionally deep, and his rate of acquiring iron ore far exceeded others, derived from numerous factors such as his train's speed, his wide Resource Detection Radar range, his multitude of residents, and various Adventure Maps for acquiring iron ore, like Goblin Tomb.

The most crucial factor, his capability was strong enough.

None dared to rob the iron ore he monopolized, even if a Corpse Tide emerged, he didn't have to flee, he could just wipe out the Corpse Tide instead, unlike others who had to abandon mining midway and hastily escape at the sight of a Corpse Tide.

These numerous factors rendered his train invincible among trains of the same level.

He didn't need to waste resources on "Transition Accessories."

Of course.

There were gamblers like the one he destroyed at the "Earth Core Nuclear Bomb" Adventure Map, who didn't wish to waste resources on transition accessories, had the train already at level 7, yet the defense accessory "Energy Shield" was only at level 5.

Pure gambler.

This kind of train basically had no combat strength to speak of, would crumble at any crisis instantly, hence he was surprised to see this particular train dared to act against him in the Adventure Map.

Not everyone possesses the means to detect other train accessories, which is the level 10 Supermodel Effect of "Target Detection Radar."

This led to many failing to realize they were actually going against insurmountable odds.

Chen Mang looked at the control panel and sighed helplessly: "Really..."

When the train was upgraded to level 6, a "?" button appeared on the control panel, his train was now upgraded to level 7, yet that "?" button remained unchanged, seemingly fixed permanently.

Normally speaking, after the train was upgraded to level 6, the new button here should've been "Squad Voice," not a "?", but it was inconsequential, since he wasn't actually in need of the Squad Voice feature, even without it wouldn't matter, he didn't believe this button could remain a question mark forever.

Upon upgrading the train to level 7, no new feature or button was added.

These days he had been following the exchanges among other trains on the "Train Radio."

The reason he replied to Wild Bull.

Was solely due to Wild Bull continuously sending pleas for mercy in the group, severely affecting his efficiency in acquiring information, he wished to see what the other trains were discussing, yet found the feed plagued with Wild Bull's insane apologies and pleas for mercy.

Thus, he was compelled to respond briefly, advising not to keep spamming.

Insane, a demeanor suggesting if he didn't reply, it would continue spam indefinitely.

Trains upgraded to 7, 8, 9 levels wouldn't add new features or buttons.

Level 10 is a major turning point.

Upon upgrade to level 10, transformative changes occur.

That's how it was described in the Train Radio.

The specifics of those changes, he wasn't aware, he only knew that several level 9 trains in the Zombie Basin hadn't proceeded to the blue zone for upgrading to level 10 due to this reason.

"..."

Chen Mang didn't think further, but rather looked at the newly buildable accessory added upon train upgrade to level 7.

This time, fewer items: only one accessory.

-

"Space Stasis": Purple grade accessory, requires 10,000 units of iron ore for crafting.

-

This was the first purple grade accessory he'd seen, purple grade accessories could be upgraded to a maximum of level 10, meaning anyone crafting this accessory could attain 2 Supermodel Effects.

Yet he couldn't quite comprehend the function of this accessory.

At level 1.

Activating this accessory would still space all creatures including AI inside the train apart from him for 30 minutes.

Time didn't halt, it continued flowing.
