The train headed north.
The "Nitrogen Tail Spray" on both sides of the train was firing blue flames at full power, making the train speed even faster. From a distance, the train decorated with dozens of light blue flames looked like a land rocket.
The speed was extremely fast.
If the firepower accessories on other trains didn’t have the "AI Automatic Targeting" supermodel effect, or if the AI’s computing power wasn’t high enough, it would be difficult to ensure accuracy, unless their train maintained this speed and traveled in a straight line, then the AI could easily calculate the drop point.
They set off in the late afternoon, near dusk.
Until the sky darkened, with the starry sky, the moon, and the sun all hanging in the sky, Chen Mang could clearly see that mountain in the distance, estimating it would take about half an hour to get there. The Shahe Plain was no smaller than the Tieling Wasteland.
They encountered several level 2 iron mines, but as there were trains already excavating, he didn’t stop much.
"Hmm?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⟡fire.net
Chen Mang’s brow suddenly furrowed, and he instinctively slowed down the Constant Star Train. On the target detection radar screen, there were always only red and green dots: green for Train Members, red for other creatures.
This was the first time he’d seen a yellow dot.
Soon, he saw a person wearing a cloak standing in the distance, facing the Constant Star Train and slowly waving.
Could it be a black market merchant?
Chen Mang thought as he manipulated the Constant Star Train to slowly stop beside the cloaked person, but he didn’t open the carriage. Meanwhile, the firepower weapons outside the carriage aimed and locked onto the person immediately.
When the train had heritage value, encountering a black market merchant allowed one to use heritage value to purchase rare accessory blueprints, tools, and other items, or even enter the Doomsday Black Market. Some accessories could only be installed on the train when a certain amount of heritage value was achieved.
At the moment the train stopped.
Chen Mang turned his head to look at the mysterious cloaked figure standing beside the train, who stopped waving. His mouth twitched slightly; though the person wore a cloak and hood that obscured the face, he instantly recognized the identity.
It was that damn goblin merchant!
Even wearing black gloves, through the junction of the glove and sleeve, he saw a flash of green skin and the short stature, and extremely pointed ears that the cloak’s hood couldn’t hide.
What else could it be if not a goblin?
He was fortunate to get a special tool yesterday, a map coordinate of a "Goblin Ruins". He planned to mine some iron ore, upgrade the train a bit more, then go check it out.
Unexpectedly, the so-called black market merchant turned out to be a goblin merchant. This goblin merchant’s business scope was quite broad.
The mysterious cloaked figure blocking the Constant Star Train stood there with a cold face and hoarsely said, "Foolish human, congratulations on encountering the mysterious and elusive yet great black market merchant. You can use your heritage value to purchase any item from me."
"Here is the merchandise list."
"Please state the item you want to purchase."
"Remember, use the item number. The great black market merchant doesn’t have time for your nonsense."
"You have only one minute to make your choice."
Four items quickly appeared on the train room control screen, the most expensive being 100 heritage value. It seemed unlikely there would be items exceeding the train’s heritage value.
And at the very top was a line of scarlet text.
"Doomsday Encounter, Black Market Merchant."
"Unpredictable presence, any train may encounter the black market merchant, but only trains with heritage value can purchase some rare and precious items from him."
"Prohibited: attacking, imprisoning, or harming the black market merchant."
1: Special Tool ’Murphy Stone’, 100 heritage value.
2: Random Yellow-grade Accessory Blueprint, 100 heritage value.
3: Random White-grade Accessory Blueprint, 10 heritage value.
4: Special Tool ’C Difficulty Free Pass’, 100 heritage value.
Chen Mang first glanced at the four item descriptions on the control screen, then looked at the black market merchant standing next to the train, lighting a cigarette with a slightly strange expression, taking a deep puff, and did not make a choice. Instead, he turned his head to Ai beside him.
"Release Doba to handle him."
Doba, carrying a pickaxe, led a group of a hundred goblins, jumping out boisterously from the end of the train carriage, striding towards the front of the train.
"Foolish human, you intend to..."
Before finishing the sentence.
They saw Doba’s pickaxe fly from afar, landing heavily in front of the black market merchant, accompanied by Doba’s roar: "Foolish black market merchant, how dare you address the great human prophet this way?!"
The black market merchant in the black cloak standing there turned his head to look at Doba, frowning darkly, "Foolish... foolish... goblin?"
The black market merchant was suddenly stunned on the spot, only then realizing.
At this moment, Doba reached the black market merchant and said coldly, "Address me as the King of Goblins, Doba!"
"Unexpected to meet a black market merchant here, among thousands of goblin merchants, only one may become a black market merchant, it seems heaven blesses the goblin race!"
"Doba, the new King of Goblins."
"Under this great human prophet’s leadership, goblin civilization is slowly reviving. These behind me are my people, will you return to the goblin race, join me, and assist in reviving the goblin race?"
