The previously ordinary Doomsday Marriage Certificate suddenly began to emit a scarlet glow.
"Master Mang... what is this?"
"It’s good."
Chen Mang smiled, then took the Doomsday Marriage Certificate handed over by Mountain Cat, opened it, and three lines of text appeared within it.
-
"Please choose your wedding level."
1: Gold Wedding.
Requires a wedding in front of 1000 witnesses, with three trains of the sa level attending the banquet, and food and wine prepared for all attendees, including essentials like a wedding dress, red carpet, artificial flowers, and fireworks.
Successfully hosting a Gold Wedding increases the train’s Heritage Value by 500 and Reputation Value by 20.
2: Silver Wedding.
Requires a wedding in front of 500 witnesses, with food and wine prepared for everyone involved in the wedding, and a wedding dress is needed.
Successfully hosting a Silver Wedding increases the train’s Heritage Value by 200.
3: Bronze Wedding.
Requires a wedding in front of 100 witnesses.
Successfully hosting a Bronze Wedding increases the train’s Heritage Value by 100.

Heritage Value and 20 Reputation Value...
Chen Mang toyed with the Doomsday Marriage Certificate in his hand and was silent for a mont before looking up at the woman behind Mountain Cat with a smile: "You’ve been on the Fixed Star for a while now, how do you feel? Has anyone bullied you?"
"No... no."
The woman standing behind Mountain Cat was sowhat flustered, but she forcibly cald down and said gratefully: "eting Master Mang in the doomsday was i Jia’s blessing. If it weren’t for Master Mang... i Jia might have been waiting to die in that safe house."
"And I could see Mountain Cat before dying, I have no regrets."
"Master Mang, don’t worry, I’ve taken a pickaxe, I can go mining in the future, and I won’t let you support in vain."
"..."
Chen Mang frowned slightly, paused, then said softly: "The Fixed Star can afford to support one woman."
"Ai, take her for a check-up and see how many resources are needed for her treatnt."
"Yes."
Ai, who was fiddling with tools halfway, put them down, stuffed so ssy wires back into her head, got up, looked at the woman, and said chanically without emotion: "Co with ."
"Mang... Master Mang."
At this mont, Mountain Cat reacted, and imdiately, eyes reddened, knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing, voice trembling: "As long as i Jia can be cured, my life will be yours, Master Mang. If the train ever needs soone to execute a must-die mission, I’m the first to go!"
"If I ever show weakness, just execute ."
"Wherever you want to go, I’ll go."
Sitting on the chair, Chen Mang glanced at Mountain Cat and said casually: "So, if I can’t cure her, you won’t listen to ?"
"No, no... I didn’t an that."
Mountain Cat anxiously straightened up from his kneeling position, looking at Master Mang: "I misspoke, I ant to say..."
"That’s enough, no need to say anymore."
"See how many resources it takes."
...
"125,000 units of iron ore."
Ai quickly returned with the woman, reporting the resources needed for the treatnt.
"..."
Chen Mang glanced at the Train Panel. The Fixed Star still had 327,000 units of iron ore. It’s enough, but... he paused for a mont, then calmly said to the hopeful mountain cat whose eyes had dimd.
"Do you know what 125,000 units of iron ore ans?"
"I know."
Kneeling on the ground, Mountain Cat lowered his head, his eyes reddened, and in just an instant, the hope from earlier vanished from his body. He paused and then suddenly smiled, his voice hoarse: "125,000 units of iron ore, enough to supply all mbers of the Fixed Star Train with food for 60 days."
"i Jia... she doesn’t deserve to consu this much resources."
"She’s not worth that much."
"It’s okay, Master Mang. i Jia can still live two or three years without treatnt. Being able to live that long in the doomsday is already enough, keeping these resources will allow the train to develop, making the Fixed Star Train better, after all... there are still so many people on the train."
"Master Mang."
Besides, i Jia also hurriedly knelt on the ground, with so panic: "I... Mountain Cat is right."
She had joined the train for a while and naturally knew that iron ore was the main resource to maintain the train’s developnt. 125,000 units of iron ore, her life wasn’t worth that much even before the doomsday, so how could it be worth that much after?
"..."
Chen Mang sat silently on the chair for a while, then stood up, walked over to Mountain Cat, helped him up, and lightly dusted off his nonexistent shoulder dust, smiling and saying softly.
"She’s not worth that."
"But you are worth that."
"Ai, take her for treatnt, happily, in a few days I’ll personally host a wedding for you two, it might be the first grand enough wedding in the doomsday."
"Everyone’s mood in the doomsday is quite low; I’ll use your wedding to bring so joy."
"Go on."
Mountain Cat, who was being helped up, was about to speak, and only then did he realize Master Mang seed to be saying that she could... could be cured? Imdiately, his body froze on the spot, tears finally uncontrollably poured out, and he knelt on the ground again heavily, eyes red, roaring.
"Master Mang!"
"Rest assured, later on, any ti the train needs to go to a place of death, if I hesitate even a bit, I’ll consider myself unworthy."
"From now on, my life is yours, Master Mang."
"Whatever way you want to die, I’ll die."
"Alright, alright..."
Chen Mang sowhat helplessly patted Mountain Cat’s shoulder again: "The Fixed Star doesn’t have so many tasks that require people to go to their deaths; by the ti that day cos, the Fixed Star might be close to its end as well."
"Hurry up, go."
...
Soon——
Ai ca back to the train compartnt alone, sat down, opened her head back up, and continued her modifications before saying: "Master Mang, this might be the most expensive woman you’ve bought."
"125k units of iron ore."
"Equivalent to two and a half Ji Chuchu."
"Not bad."
Chen Mang leaned back in his chair, put his feet up on the control panel, casually said: "As long as I find a Level 2 iron deposit, it’ll only take about a day to dig it out."
125,000 units of iron ore, exchanged for 500 Heritage Value, 20 Reputation Value, and Mountain Cat’s loyalty, it’s not a bad deal. He had observed this Mountain Cat, who was extrely responsive to kindness, and indeed rembered favors.
As for the wedding, he was definitely choosing the Gold Wedding.
Those conditions for the Gold Wedding weren’t very difficult for him, the only tough part was finding three trains of the sa level to attend the wedding, but that problem... wasn’t too difficult either.
Just now...
"Purple Cloud Train" ssaged him, saying they had successfully reached the Shahe Plain and upgraded to a Level 4 train.
To pay him respect.
Although he found this act sowhat pointless, even if you don’t show respect, it’s not like he would go and seek trouble with you, but at least it had made one Level 4 train ready to attend the wedding.
The Azure Dragon is not suitable, as it’s a Level 5 train; two more Level 4 trains are needed.
Let’s think of a solution for that later, there’s no rush for now.
"By the way——"
At this ti, Ai, who was tinkering with her work in the corner, suddenly spoke: "Train Captain, could you make another chanical Eye for ? Though having one is enough, it feels like a cyclops and looks ugly."
"..."
Chen Mang gave Ai a sidelong look, casually fabricated another chanical Eye, then retorted with no real intent: "Do you want to make you a set of high-precision clothes afterward too?"
"Eh, good idea."
Chen Mang was too lazy to engage with Ai further, just took a deep breath, then turned to the Train Panel, pondering that the train will rest here for today, probe for iron ore in the afternoon, and begin mining tomorrow.
Then, create the "Combat Training Virtual Space" and "Single Soldier Skeleton Armor".
And produce all the remaining parts that need building, upgrade those that need upgrading.
For now...
"Call Ji Chuchu."
"Wait, um... have Yan Yao co."
"Forget it——"
Chen Mang paused for a while, then flicked the cigarette butt out the window: "Call both of them."
"The temper’s a bit much."
