Chapter 444 - 261: "A Bunch of Fucking Rabbits!

"Hmm..."

Chen Mang was contemplating a very serious question, what should he name this special position? Let’s just call it... Ai Keeper.

He handed this task over to Old Pig to take care of.

Now, the task at hand was to upgrade the train and prepare to head to the purple zone.

He looked at the train’s resource panel.

-

"35.4 million units of iron ore, 2.57 million units of wood, 17.64 million units of copper ore, 4.48 million units of Red Heart Rock, 10.29 million units of Titanium Crystal Ore."

-

Redid the basic components which consumed some iron ore, the "Solar Energy Panels" also absorbed a bit of iron ore, effectively balanced out, including the ore brought from the Goblin Tomb and mined over these ten days.

Then made a few Grade 4 Energy Stones for daily use and to power the two "Pope" mechas.

As for the iron ore from the "Neon City," he didn’t take it out. Those iron ores remain in Neon City for daily operations, and in a way, it has actually already entered the "corporate system" from this moment.

Although Neon City gained 3.79 million units of iron ore, these iron ores belong to the company account and are not all profit, whereas the accounts in the Constant Star Train are private accounts, and here it’s all profit.

Dealing with these chaotic accounts is a very troublesome matter!

However —

Coincidentally, his train happened to have a top accountant with a pre-Doomsday annual salary in the millions.

Soon enough.

Mr. Li somewhat nervously walked into the train compartment, anxiously saying, "Master Mang, the ’Zombie Spawn Cage’ has made considerable progress, but there’s still..."

"No rush."

Chen Mang waved his hand, interrupting Mr. Li peacefully, "You now have a more important task called ’Ai Keeper.’

"The specific job content includes being responsible for accompanying Ai, delivering messages promptly."

"And managing all the accounts of Neon City."

"If there’s any accounting loophole, or if the iron ore reserves reach a warning level, you need to inform me promptly."

"For instance, Neon City now has 300 million units of iron ore. Without affecting Neon City’s normal operations, how many units of iron ore can I withdraw at most at one time? From now on, you’re in charge of all these accounts."

"How does that sound?"

"Does it match your professional expertise?"

Mr. Li was slightly taken aback, then instinctively said, "It matches, Master Mang, nothing could match better than this. But about my ’Zombie Spawn Cage’..."

"Neon City won’t be too busy at its initial stage, you’ll have to juggle both."

"What I promised you before won’t change. If you successfully create the Zombie Spawn Cage, you’ll still receive level one top talent treatment."

"When it gets busier in the future, haven’t you always been training a little apprentice? Hand over the Zombie Spawn Cage and breeding carriage to your apprentice."

"Discuss the specific details with Ai."

"Yes!"

...

"How’s it going, Mr. Li?"

In carriage no. 15, the young guy who had been following Mr. Li hurried over as he saw Mr. Li return in a daze, asking, "What’s up? You look like a lost soul, doesn’t seem like Master Mang called you for something good?"

"I’m not sure if it’s good or not..."

Mr. Li stopped somewhat bewilderedly for a moment, then continued, "Master Mang gave me a new job, Ai Keeper, in charge of all the accounts for Master Mang’s latest project ’Neon City.’"

"Honestly, I never thought in my wildest dreams that I’d find such a perfect fit for my accounting skills after Doomsday."

"That’s great news!"

The young guy exclaimed excitedly, "Though it doesn’t sound great, Neon City is the biggest project on the Constant Star Train right now, and you’re managing all its accounts; your position is almost comparable to Pig Train Captain. Plus, with all the techniques you learned during your studies, you’ve definitely mastered a lot of skills in keeping double books."

"Hey hey hey."

Mr. Li looked at the young guy bizarrely and said, "You can speak nonsensically about food but not about this, who’s keeping double books, especially for Master Mang? You must be wishing to be separated into two worlds."

"I actually think it’s a good thing."

"After all, it’s more aligned with my profession, and there’s more career potential too. It’s genuinely got practical work to do, with greater power too."

"Just one thing I can’t figure out."

"What is it?"

"Master Mang said he would let you take care of the ’Zombie Spawn Cage’ and the ’Breeding Carriage’ in the future."

"Cough..."

The young guy hesitated momentarily, then suddenly coughed lightly as his mouth uncontrollably curled up, "Mr. Li, I’ve indeed learned a lot these days. If Master Mang gives me such a significant responsibility, I’m willing to give it a try!"

"Yeah, that’s what’s most bewildering to me, how did you inexplicably rise up too, now capable of managing a carriage all on your own."

"Back then, you were just a small-town youth who knew nothing."

"Times make heroes. I joined Master Mang’s train and followed behind you, Mr. Li. It’s hard not to rise up. Don’t worry, Mr. Li, I definitely won’t forget your nurturing and guidance!"

"Using all the fancy words you’ve learned in this lifetime, huh?"

"That’s about it."

Mr. Li took a deep breath, then picked up a Space Pocket from the side and tucked it into his arms, "I need to go report to President Ai first, for this period, I’ll frequently come back to finish the ’Zombie Spawn Cage.’

"Also, over there, did you forget to inject Master Shen’s Stimulating Injection? He’s on the brink of death!"

"Oh oh, I’ll get to it right away."

...

Constant Star, first floor of the train compartment.

A few thugs following behind Er Dan were moving boxes of resources onto the Traveling Frog parked on the first floor.
