Ai, who had been quietly standing in the corner of the train cabin, suddenly spoke up, "Train Captain, I’d like to go down for a look too."
Chen Mang frowned slightly, initially wanting to refuse, but after some thought, he picked up a cane beside him, walked to the mirror to tidy up his appearance, and then said, "Alright, let’s go down together for a look."
Then he descended from the train.
The bald man from the Azure Dragon train, accompanied by his subordinates, rushed towards Chen Mang as soon as they saw him disembark, his face full of smiles, "We’ve been admiring each other from afar for a long time, and we finally meet. Last time, your maze design was truly ingenious; I admire you, brother."
"My name is Er Dan, what do you go by, brother?"
His gaze lingered on Chen Mang’s attire for a moment, "How... the clothes produced on the same ’Clothing Customization Production Line,’ yet his look of higher quality than mine?"
And that cane looks quite luxurious!
This is Doomsday, why does this guy carry an aura of someone detached from the mundane world? Just a glance is enough to tell he isn’t a mortal.
He was initially quite confident in his own attire, but suddenly felt a wave of self-doubt, subconsciously lowering his gaze to his own outfit, wondering if this guy had also upgraded his Clothing Customization Production Line to produce the Supermodel Effect.
"Just call me Chen Mang." Follow current novᴇls on N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt
Chen Mang, along with Old Pig and the others, approached the bald man and cheerfully remarked, "Your head’s quite shiny, brother."
Standing together as train captains, their demeanor was entirely different.
His outfit was created with the Level 10 Supermodel Effect of the ’Clothing Customization Production Line,’ along with the cane, which was the Special Tool Hell Staff, and his body had been completely rejuvenated in the ’Medical Cabin,’ combined with an already decent face and height, standing there, incomparable.
Especially in this Doomsday environment.
The comparison is even clearer.
Upon exiting the train, one could feel the overwhelming presence of the transparent Heaven-Reaching Tower before them; Chen Mang looked up at the towering structure and the countless rotating gears within, simply thinking... cool.
If only this could be collected somehow.
It would make a fantastic collectible.
Then he glanced around; currently, only their two trains were in the yellow area. Aside from that, no other train was visible, and nothing was detected within the Target Detection Radar’s range.
"Just the two of us?"
Er Dan, the Azure Dragon Train Captain, nodded seriously, "Not many know about the official opening of the Heaven-Reaching Tower; I’ve been keeping an eye here, and most people avoid Adventure Maps due to potential dangers. They prefer mining, as it poses lower risks."
"No matter how many trains arrive later, we stick to the agreed plan; if it’s cooperative, we join forces, sharing gains fifty-fifty. For individual challenges, it each relies on their skills, okay?"
"Sure, but what if it’s competitive?"
"There is no competitive type." Er Dan shook his head, "At least, I’ve never encountered or heard of competitive Adventure Maps."
Er Dan suddenly turned towards the train cabin and shouted, "Make some ice beer; I’m treating my buddies to drinks."
"Excuse us, my mother passed away early, so I named the AI ’Mom,’ it feels like she’s still by my side."
"I love exploring adventures and collected various fun accessories, ice beer production line; doesn’t have much use, but it improves life quality a bit."
A door from one carriage of the Azure Dragon Train opened, revealing a pretty woman in a short skirt, who approached with a tray holding a dozen cans of beer.
"Try them out; it’s been a while since you’ve had any, right?"
Er Dan enthusiastically invited Chen Mang’s group, "Join in; let’s make the most of this rare moment in Doomsday."
"Indeed beer produced by accessories, harmless."
"Plus, Train Captain, can you ask Er Dan if his train has A-grade potential? I’m quite curious."
Ignoring the information received from the AI in his mind, Chen Mang didn’t put on airs and joined Er Dan, sitting cross-legged on the ground, enjoying the beer.
"Brother, let me tell you, your maze..."
Though the man before him seemed a bit showy.
They struck a good conversation, and Old Pig’s group also mingled with Er Dan’s subordinates; everyone sat cross-legged on the grass, unarmed.
If not for the two imposing trains parked nearby.
It looked nothing like Doomsday.
More like a spring outing in peaceful times.
But the numerous machine gun towers stationed outside the carriages reverted the atmosphere back to Doomsday.
After two cans of beer, although not drunk, Er Dan got more excited, looking at Chen Mang seriously, "We really connect; look, I know that Fixed Star might be S-grade potential but it’s only a Level 4 train, might lack many accessories."
"Later, I’ll produce a few thousand bottles of beer and give them to you!"
"Whenever you want to drink, just go ahead."
Er Dan suddenly laughed, snuggling the pretty woman in a short skirt, raising an eyebrow, "I can’t give you this woman; she’s mine. She’s beautiful, isn’t she? Having such a beauty in Doomsday isn’t easy."
"Call him Master Mang!"
The woman in Er Dan’s arms obediently whispered, "Master Mang."
Sitting cross-legged, Chen Mang sighed at the words, this guy... always showing off, who asked for your woman anyway? Really...
He turned and looked at Old Pig beside him.
Although Old Pig was chatting with others, his attention was on this side, and quickly caught on, nodded slightly, took out a walkie-talkie, and murmured a few words.
The 5th carriage of the Fixed Star Train suddenly opened.
Ji Chuchu in a red evening gown, dazzling and elegant, stood at the door, gracefully waving to everyone, then walked daintily to their midst. She sat gracefully by Chen Mang’s side, smiling at everyone without saying much.
Then took out a cigar, quietly lit it, and handed it to Chen Mang.
Appearing quite alluring and obedient.
Taking the cigar, Chen Mang chuckled at Er Dan, "No worries, bros shouldn’t betray each other; I couldn’t possibly take your woman, keep her yourself."
This cigar was seized from a train outside the swamp, found seven of them.
He didn’t like smoking this stuff but it had a high-class vibe.
Er Dan’s smiling expression stiffened as he stared at the scene, his eyes full of disbelief and shock, his tone involuntarily rising, "You... aren’t you Ji... Ji Chuchu?"
"The popular star before the apocalypse, the trending reality show ’Sisters, Please Take the Stage’ C-position guest?"
Kneeling beside Chen Mang, Ji Chuchu brushed her hair back, her smile like a blooming flower, "Thanks to Master Mang taking me in, I could find shelter during Doomsday."
Er Dan’s eyes flashed with blankness, glancing between the strikingly beautiful Ji Chuchu in the red evening dress beside Master Mang, and his own woman in a mini skirt.
Totally on different levels.
After a while, he forced a slightly awkward smile, managing to say to Chen Mang, "Brother’s living the good life, huh."
