System: My Doomsday Train

"But Master Mang, everyone on this train knows you like to smoke."

"This time it's different."

"How is it different?"

"You're not thinking straight. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Go work on your Cosmic Receiver, and from now on, please shut up."

...

Inside Guard Carriage No. 7.

Ji Chuchu looked at Fang, who was crying beside the bed, like a pear blossom bathed in rain, and awkwardly sat beside her, patting her back: "It's okay, it's okay, Master Mang didn't punish you, which means he doesn't dislike you that much."

"But... it's so embarrassing."

Fang sobbed softly, "How am I supposed to face Master Mang in the future? How can I make his bed and bring him meals?"

"Uh..."

Ji Chuchu didn't know how to respond for a moment, she was a bit baffled, thinking "don't disappoint me" meant to get in bed smartly.

Didn't expect it to be wrong this time.

Indeed, it's hard to handle.

"Just act like nothing happened, be natural. Right now, you see Master Mang the most on the entire train. Even Old Pig goes several days without seeing him. Although your treatment isn't high, your position is almost the top on the train."

Fang hesitantly thought about it, it seemed to be the case. Every time Pig Train Captain went to report to Master Mang, he would ask how Master Mang's mood was. If she said he was in a bad mood, Pig Train Captain would turn and leave without looking back.

She was always grateful to Pig Train Captain.

At that time, it was he who selected her to serve as Master Mang's maid.

"So what you need to do now is not overthink and continue as usual."

"Okay, Chuchu, any other suggestions..."

"No more."

Ji Chuchu averted her gaze, looking out the window. Fang had just conveyed Master Mang's exact words, that she wasn't thinking straight. She had previously stepped up using Yan Yao, and this time she intended to leverage Fang's situation again...

But clearly, Master Mang didn't like this behavior. This time he scolded her for not thinking straight; next time she might end up at the Red House.

Better to give fewer suggestions.

...

"..."

Inside the Constant Star Train, Chen Mang sat on a chair, looking at the additional components that could be built after the train upgraded to Level 14.

-

"Fruit Production Line": Red-grade component, requires 50,000 units of iron ore to build.

-

"Awesome."

Chen Mang silently looked at this component. It was his first time seeing a red-grade food production line, and it required building with 50,000 units of iron ore. This price was exorbitant, and there were many kinds of fruit that could be used to build it.

The prices are rather expensive and varied.

For example, an apple costs 100 units of iron ore.

A cherry costs 100 units of iron ore.

A durian costs 1,000 units of iron ore.

Prices vary.

Compared to Red Heart Nuts, this thing is a pure luxury item that few can afford. The most expensive luxury on the train used to be seeds; now it's fruit...

He hadn't eaten fruit in a long time.

In the previous world, he didn't particularly like eating fruit, but in this world, having not eaten fruit for a while, he kind of wanted to.

After consuming 50,000 units of iron ore, he built this component and placed it in "Carriage No. 4," Chen Mang then said: "Ai, have Fang bring me a fruit platter."

This time it's a legit fruit platter.

The previous fruit platters on the train were all Red Heart Nuts, which tasted good but felt repetitive after a while.

After pondering for a moment.

He directly consumed 7.75 million units of iron ore, upgraded the red-grade component "Fruit Production Line" to Level 20, and gained three corresponding Supermodel Effects. This component would essentially become his exclusive component for a significant period.

-

"Fruit Production Line Level 5 Supermodel Effect": Long-term consumption effectively improves physical fitness.

"Fruit Production Line Level 10 Supermodel Effect": Long-term consumption effectively improves spiritual power.

"Fruit Production Line Level 20 Supermodel Effect": Better taste and flavor can be freely adjusted.

-

"Whoa..."

Chen Mang was somewhat surprised at these three Supermodel Effects. The first two were good, but he didn't have much desire to go out fighting or to pilot Mecha. While men love Mecha, he felt indifferent, seeing it as just a type of infantry weapon.

He preferred the third Supermodel Effect.

This meant he could customize the crunchiness of his watermelon. He preferred crunchy watermelons over the sandy ones.

Spending over 7 million for something that improved the quality of life wasn't bad.

At this moment—

Fang had already brought the fruit platter, but her ears were still slightly red. She kept her head down and didn't speak.

Chen Mang didn't mind, casually picking up a cherry and placing it in his mouth, his legs on the control panel as he continued to select movies. He actually quite liked cherries, but ate them rarely in the previous world, fearing he'd find a worm.

He hated worms.

Did not want such a thing in his mouth.

But the fruit produced by the "Fruit Production Line" guaranteed there wouldn't be worms, and fully customized fruit tasted excellent; he liked it.

...

Time quickly passed, seven days later once again.

During these seven days.

All the residents worked overtime, completely mining out the Titanium Crystal Ore, bringing in 100 million units.

Today was also when "Neon City" would open once more.
