Chapter 49: Arrival at the Doomsday Abyss.
"Listen to me."
The Train Conductor of the Bloodthirsty Mad Bull Train looked earnestly at Chen Mang: "Old buddy, I'm not messing with you. She must be worth a lot, otherwise I wouldn't have brought her to the gathering."
"I know the Train Conductor of the King of Electronic Music Train will also come to the gathering later."
"That guy is a dwarf and is completely unable to resist tall women. This woman can fetch a high price from him. I saw on the Train Radio that he also has Spider Silk for sale."
"By trading this woman, you can definitely get all the Spider Silk he has."
"If you want to trade with Iron Ore, he might not offer a high price, but if it's Spider Silk, he will definitely be delighted."
"."
Chen Mang couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't you just say that Spider Silk is a rare material? How come now it's not as valuable as Iron Ore?"
The man coughed awkwardly.
"Spider Silk is indeed a rare material, but it has limited uses. It doesn't have the versatility of Iron Ore. You should know that too."
"Deal."
Chen Mang didn't say much more and completed the transaction with a smile.
He really knew about the King of Electronic Music Train Conductor's preference. On that day, there was a Train Conductor on the Train Radio who said he had a 1.78-meter female Slave waiting for the right person. Chen Mang noticed the King of Electronic Music Train Conductor appearing at that time. This way, the Spider Silk from the King of Electronic Music Train was secured, especially since this one was taller, standing at 1.87 meters. He had originally planned to trade a Train Token for it.
The Train Conductor of the King of Electronic Music Train hadn't arrived yet.
Chen Mang followed the example of other Train Conductors, found an open space to sit down, and wrote on a wooden board:
「Stellar.」
「Selling Train Token, seeking Spider Silk.」
The words "Stellar" were mainly for the King of Electronic Music Train Conductor to recognize each other. He was quite satisfied with the transaction with the Bloodthirsty Mad Bull Train. His initial expectation was actually to trade a "Handheld Zombie Perception Blocker" for Spider Silk.
The result was better than he had imagined.
He even got an extra woman.
He had already received 4500 units of Spider Silk. He needed a total of 8100 units, so he was still short by 3600 units. His "Spider Leg" accessory could then be upgraded to level 13.
Not long after.
He saw a dwarf man followed by seven or eight bodyguards striding towards him. Before Chen Mang could say anything, he saw the man's eyes fixated on the tall woman behind him, and he spoke word by word.
"Brother, name your price. I'll buy this woman."
"."
Chen Mang sighed lightly. He thought the dwarf man had recognized him, but it seemed he had spotted the tall woman behind him in the crowd and came straight for her. He had to point to the words "Stellar" on the wooden board with his cane.
The dwarf man followed the cane's direction, then suddenly realized and his face was filled with a smile.
"So it's you."
"It seems you've done your homework on me."
"Let's get straight to the point."
"I have 1800 units of Spider Silk to trade for this woman."
"Too low."
Chen Mang shook his head and said seriously: "Do you know how much I spent to buy this woman? A 1.87-meter woman, do you know how rare that is?"
The dwarf man frowned slightly, pondered for a moment.
"How much Spider Silk do you need in total?"
"3600 units."
"If I give you 3600 units of Spider Silk, can this woman be mine?"
"Yes."
"Wait for me. Last time, several trains went with me to Taiping City to hunt Man-Eating Spiders. I'll contact them now. Wait for a few hours, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, the dwarf man didn't hesitate and turned to stride out of the gathering.
Five hours later.
The dwarf man returned, placed 3800 units of Spider Silk in front of Chen Mang's stall, then took a deep breath and couldn't help but look at the tall woman behind him, licking his lips: "Is it okay now?"
"Pleasure doing business."
Chen Mang smiled and shook hands with the man to signify the completion of the transaction.
By now, the gathering had mostly dispersed. In a few hours, it would be dark, and half of the trains had already left.
His Train Token hadn't been sold.
There were only a few inquiries, and the highest offer was only 2000 units of Iron Ore. Most Train Conductors bought this as a safeguard. If their train were to crash someday, having a Train Token would give them a chance to start over.
But after all, it was just a safeguard, and they were unwilling to offer too high a price.
He wasn't in a hurry to sell.
2000 units of Iron Ore couldn't solve any major problems for him; it was less than two days' production from his Slaves. He might as well keep it himself.
"Phew."
Chen Mang stood at the edge of the Stellar Train, looking at the several trains roaring into the distance. The gathering had ended, and for him, it had drawn a perfect curtain.
He had more than enough Spider Silk, with an extra 200 units.
Next, it was time to upgrade the Spider Leg and explore the Doomsday Abyss on the wasteland.
It was worth mentioning.
Throughout the gathering, there were no conflicts. Forget fights, there were hardly even any arguments. Everyone was extremely restrained, and there was no one maintaining order. It was simply a consensus maintained by everyone.
Every Train Conductor had trading needs.
If someone broke this unspoken rule, it would mean that for a long time, all Train Conductors would find it difficult to trade with others. Anyone who dared to break this unspoken rule would become a public enemy.
With the strengths of the parties not too far apart, this consensus worked as a good constraint.
He also witnessed the diversity and differences among the many trains.
On the wasteland at night, under the vast starry sky, the Stellar Train, like a long dragon, was speeding towards the distance like an arrow!
After entering the coordinates of the "Doomsday Abyss" into the control panel and traveling for about 4 hours under the stars, they finally approached the Doomsday Abyss as night fell.
There was a level 2 Iron Ore deposit inside.
1 unit of level 2 Iron Ore is equivalent to 10 units of level 1 Iron Ore.
That is to say, with the current number of Slaves on the Stellar Train, mining for a day could yield about ten thousand units of Iron Ore. In five days, they could trade for a Ji Chuchu.
At that time, he could fully upgrade the train's armor to level 3, all accessories to level 5, and unlock a Supermodel Effect, making his train a fully equipped level 2 train!
When he returned from the Doomsday Abyss.
The Corpse Tide that once chased him everywhere would be as easy to slaughter as cutting grass.
Numbers wouldn't matter anymore.
When the disparity in strength reaches a certain point, numbers lose their significance.
Finally, half an hour later.
The Stellar Train had successfully arrived at the edge of the Doomsday Abyss.
"."
Chen Mang got off the train, leaned on his cane, and looked at the abyss that stretched for several kilometers and was nearly forty meters wide, gazing into the distance.
There was no one around.
Under the vast starry sky, there was a sense of extreme and desolate beauty. If it were in peaceful times, this plac
e might attract many people to come camping.
At the bottom of the unfathomable abyss.
There was a level 2 Iron Ore deposit and a level 1 Copper Ore deposit, like a shy maiden waiting to be pampered by him.
