"It’s really nice..."
Near the Constant Star Train, a middle-aged woman standing among the crowd watched the scene, her eyes involuntarily becoming slightly wet and red.
She had been working hard mining every day for the past few days, just to save enough Fixed Star Coupons to buy a refrigerator and have a ho of her own within the Constant Star Train.
It wasn’t that she was overly obsessed with having a private space.
But...
After the Doomsday ca, her husband died in front of her, her child died too, and she lost contact with her parents, leaving her with nowhere to go. She didn’t know where she should go, nor did she know where she could go.
Even if she lived until tomorrow, what was there to do tomorrow?
Nothing at all.
The connection between people and this world is actually through friends, family, and relatives. When all these are gone, one might instantly feel that the world is rejecting them, and there is no place for them to stay. In peaceful tis, there would be many ways to dispel this feeling, but in the Doomsday, this feeling is magnified infinitely.
Even if one lives a few more days, how many more days can one survive in such an apocalyptic environnt?
In fact, many people shared her thoughts; everyone was extrely pessimistic and desperate about the future. Every day, even while mining, they wore expressions of numbness.
But——
At the mont the missile exploded!
Her eyes turned red uncontrollably; she felt as if humanity had hope again, as if the future was not entirely hopeless. One day, the Constant Star Train would carry them towards the future!
This train, at this mont, carried the hope of all residents.
The first glimr of hope born in the Doomsday.
Perhaps she could really establish a ho within the Constant Star Train and have a family once again, and the Constant Star Train could truly always protect them.
...
Inside the train cabin.
Chen Mang was sitting on a chair with a satisfied look, admiring the scene of the missile exploding in the distance. It was the largest firework he had ever launched in his two lifetis combined, and fireworks really do look better when they’re bigger.
But just then——
The control panel screen suddenly began to flash red crazily, and a line of text frad in gold quickly scrolled across the top of the screen, while nurous fireworks exploded around the edges of the screen. At the sa ti, a voice rang in the ears of all Train Captains on the Shahe Plain.
-
"Shahe Plain Area Broadcast": Congratulations to Constant Star Train for becoming the first chanical Train on the Shahe Plain to complete the hidden mission "Vehicle of Hope".
-
"Huh?"
Chen Mang looked at this line of text in a slight daze; what did he do?
Right after.
A few lines of text flashed across the panel.
-
"Successfully completed the hidden mission ’Vehicle of Hope’, Heritage Value 100, Reputation Value 20."
-
Upon seeing the description of this hidden mission, he finally understood what had happened. To complete this mission, more than 500 survivors needed to harbor a feeling called hope towards the train itself.
These survivors believed that this train would lead them towards hope.
Completing this mission would reward 100 Heritage Value, and the 20 Reputation Value ca from the area broadcast. Every area broadcast in the green zone would increase the Reputation Value by 20.
This was considered an unexpected joy.
Chen Mang let out a long sigh, lay back on the chair, and looked at the crowd outside the window. Initially, his idea was very simple; he just wanted to set off so fireworks to have a look, since a Level 1 missile couldn’t do much else except be used for fireworks.
Incidentally, he wanted to let the people in the train take a look, to demonstrate the train’s strength.
He didn’t expect to inadvertently complete this hidden mission.
Pretty good.
Then Chen Mang looked towards the "Reputation Value Rankings of Shahe Plain"; on the rankings, he was in 6th place with 50 Reputation Value. So far, there were only two ways to gain Reputation Value.
One was the area broadcast.
The other was to achieve a sufficiently good ranking in the "Combat Training Virtual Space" in order to gain certain Reputation Value.
What Reputation Value was used for, he didn’t know yet, but it definitely wasn’t useless.
His Heritage Value had finally increased from 0 to 100. Mainly, he couldn’t utilize that "Doomsday Marriage Certificate", otherwise, the Heritage Value might have reached 200. Based on the information he obtained, a higher Heritage Value could lead to more adventures, as so adventure maps might require certain Heritage and Reputation Values.
...
Continue searching for iron ore.
When all the residents returned to the carriage, the Constant Star Train began to accelerate again across the wilderness, as for the missile... it caused only a little damage to the terrain and did not kill any monsters.
Twenty minutes later.
The "Resource Detection Radar" suddenly began to beep like crazy.
"Hmm?"
Chen Mang’s eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation as he quickly looked towards the radar screen, only to see that it showed three Level 2 iron mines located 10,000 ters away on the ground, along with two Level 2 copper mines.
Wow...
This was absolutely a high-grade resource area.
Such a dense concentration of mines gathered together, and on the surface no less, how could it have remained unclaid, with no one occupying it?
But when he saw the two Level 5 monsters and a bunch of Level 4 monsters on the "Target Detection Radar", he realized and thought, could it be due to these monsters?
But even if Level 4 trains can’t handle these monsters, Level 5 and Level 6 trains should handle them easily, right? There was no reason for Level 5 or Level 6 trains to pass up this cluster of high-grade resource mines, was there?
Let’s go have a look.
Without any hesitation.
He imdiately changed course, racing towards that red dot on the Resource Detection Radar.
