Chapter 339 - 208: "Let the Traveling Frog Bring Back the First Bucket of Gold!"_2

"Master Mang, both are Traveling Frogs, but this one’s cost is much higher than Mondo’s."

"That’s true."

Chen Mang nodded with a smile. Earlier, he had moved quite a lot of bread, cola, cigarettes, clothes, and other living supplies to the Traveling Frog.

The Fixed Star itself doesn’t have much iron ore now.

Only 20,000 units of iron ore.

But luckily, there’s the "Solar Energy Panel Blueprint," so he’s not too worried about the train’s daily consumption.

Next.

He operated the "Fixed Star" train, the train head transformed into a gaping mouth, swallowing the "Azure Dragon" train and the remaining carriages, gaining another 370,000 units of iron ore, which sort of made up for the loss a bit.

Now there’s a total of 390,000 units of iron ore.

The Rare Train Order of "Traveling Frog" yielded two red accessories.

One is the "Wheel Changer," similar to the one on the Fixed Star.

This red accessory can seamlessly change wheels instantly, an extremely bug-level accessory, allowing it to speed on the ground one second and instantly leap the next, without needing to change wheels, saving a lot of time, and in crisis situations, it’s even more powerful.

Another red-grade accessory is.

"Fixed Star Tail Spray."

Also for acceleration.

Upgrading this red-grade accessory is quite expensive, not even upgraded to level 1, just kept at the default level 1. Upgrading this item to level 2 requires 100,000 units of iron ore, not needing to be upgraded for now, but even at level 1, it boosts speed significantly!

"Extreme speed of 6000 km/h is truly exaggerated."

Chen Mang sighed lightly, then leaned on his cane as he walked towards the train interior.

Exhausted, exhausted, exhausted!

He needed sleep!

He hadn’t slept for a long time!

This extreme speed is much faster than the Fixed Star’s extreme speed. With level 9 armor, he highly suspects that if attached a level 10 ram, at extreme speed, killing a level 10 monster wouldn’t be a problem.

Speed as long as it’s fast enough.

Level can penetrate defenses, then leave the rest of the power to speed.

Quickly.

Back in the train compartment, Chen Mang didn’t worry about those things anymore, nor did he continue to tally this harvest but washed up briefly before climbing into bed to get some sleep, and meanwhile set Ai instructions to operate the train to search for iron ore.

Sleep first.

If the sky falls, it’ll wait for him to wake up.

...

"Awesome!"

Er Dan, rushing through the air, couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear feeling the unprecedented speed, but soon switched to "Wind-Fire Wheel" on the ground.

Whether it’s those tail sprays or Bunny Cloud, they consume quite a lot of energy.

There’s only 200,000 units of iron ore in the train.

Only enough to create 6 level 3 Energy Stones.

Let’s save a bit.

Although it’s used up, Chen Mang can still supply iron ore through remote transactions, but he hasn’t brought back any good stuff yet, Master Mang has already consumed so many resources, he feels embarrassed to ask for more before presenting some results.

"Mom."

Er Dan landed the train on the ground, laughing at the surrounding zombies charging at the train head but unable to penetrate its defenses, and said with emotion: "Suddenly feels like the burden on me is a lot lighter."

"Don’t need to worry about anything, just focus on exploring Adventure Maps, what I like most."

"What do you think?"

Next moment——

A familiar voice came from the train compartment: "I have no objections to that, but I’m glad you remembered to bring me during the train switch and not let my database and the train go to ruin."

"Naturally, so now..."

"Let the Traveling Frog bring back the first pot of gold!"

"Where do you think there might be Adventure Maps in the Zombie Basin?"

"I suggest checking the village; there might be some clues."

"Makes sense!"

In the train compartment, on the inside of the carriage, a Gate of Space was embedded, stacked with five refrigerators inside, along with his thugs and some living supplies, all set to reside within the Gate of Space in the future.

...

Zombie Basin.

The Fixed Star train, speeding through the wilderness, searching for possible high-grade iron ore.

Any zombies blocking the path during the journey were crushed into pieces by the train.

A smooth ride with no obstacles.

It’s now mid-afternoon, the sun hasn’t set yet, only the Zombie Basin sky has a hint more of a bloody smell, clearly visible through the window, the number of monsters outside has drastically increased.

"Chuchu."

Yan Yao, feeling somewhat like a survivor, sat on the window seat, feet on the chair, hugging her legs in a ball, whispered: "I almost thought we were going to die this time."

"I... have never seen so many monsters."

"Since childhood, the most terrifying nightmares I’ve had were not as scary as that scene just now."

"It is quite a lot."

Ji Chuchu, wearing a silk strap nightdress, sometimes lazily leaning on the windowsill, resting her chin in a bored manner, said: "But I wasn’t too scared, if even the Fixed Star is annihilated, then no matter which train we’re on, it’s the same death ending."

"I watched the development of the Fixed Star with my own eyes, so I have strong faith in the strength of Fixed Star."

"And——"

"Do you realize Master Mang is really good at letting everyone do what they’re best at?"

"Like Er Dan enjoying exploring Adventure Maps, Old Pig adept at domestic affairs management, Biaozi who likes to solve problems with brute force, claiming to be a reckless one, like Li Shiji who seems to have unlocked the Genetic Lock, and... us, who look good."

"Master Mang always makes sure everyone does what they are good at and love."

"Is that difficult?" Yan Yao tilted her head in confusion.

"It is difficult."

Ji Chuchu, with a serious look, nodded: "Firstly, discovering what a person is good at is not simple. Many people don’t even know their strengths, or don’t want to admit it."

"And being able to manifest people’s post-apocalyptic strengths into specific job roles post-apocalypse is even harder."

"I seem to understand, but Chuchu, it’s afternoon, a long time until sleep, why did you change into a nightdress early?"

"Oh."

Ji Chuchu, looking out the window, eyes unfocused, muttered casually: "Just thought, last time Master Mang saw me in this silk nightdress and clearly felt something, thinking after a fight, Master Mang might need to relax."

"So I prepared early, if Master Mang comes by and sees it, wouldn’t that..."

"What if he doesn’t come?"

"If he doesn’t come, he doesn’t come. Opportunities will fall on everyone’s head; the condition is whether you’ve prepared before it comes."

"Not all efforts yield returns; at least ninety percent of one’s efforts in life have no return. But you can’t let the ninety percent with no return stop you from doing the remaining ten percent."

"Need to strive, life will be better!"

...

"Armor Research and Development Center."

Standing in place, Ai, looking at this pile of experiment equipment, high racks, alongside the "Arsenal" and "Armed Black Hole Robot Production Line," originally occupying the large Space Gate, now it’s all densely packed view.

"Why do I feel like my workload is getting heavier..."

Ai muttered before striding towards the "Armed Black Hole Robot Production Line," dragging a robot in hand, which had just fallen from the S-level Mechanical Train job transfer task.

"Armed Black Hole Robot Production Line."

Red-grade accessory.

Since it can be called heavy firepower accessory, this accessory certainly lives up to its name.

...

Night falls.

After rubbing his eyes and hastily freshening up, Chen Mang got out of bed.

The train has stopped by a level 3 iron mine, where 3,000 residents are working hard mining.

"It’s almost midnight."

He glanced at the time on the Train Panel.
