Chen Mang looked down at the watch that had appeared on his wrist at so unknown ti, displaying "Balance 10000 points." This was the currency of the city, which could be used for shopping in the stores.
At that mont—
The air wall slowly disappeared.
The crowd in the square scattered in all directions imdiately. Everyone seed anxious; obviously, entertaining themselves wasn’t on anyone’s mind. They were more interested in the adventures within the city.
Chen Mang felt the sa way.
He glanced at the extrely conspicuous billboard to the west.
"chanical Train Accessories Store."
What the hell!
There’s actually a store for this stuff?
What the hell is there to hesitate about? Of course, he should go and shop. No clue how much buying power 10,000 points have.
The billboard was roughly a thousand ters away from them.
Almost half of the people were sprinting wildly towards the store along the street, afraid to run slower.
...
"Tsk."
Chen Mang looked at the group of people, clicked his tongue, and laughed. Then he jumped onto the off-road motorcycle, twisted the throttle hard, and with a roaring sound, sped towards that store a kiloter away along the wide street!
"Vroom vroom!!"
Biaozi and others rode their off-road motorcycles, twisted the throttle and followed closely behind Master Mang.
How can running with legs be faster than wheels?
In almost the blink of an eye, Chen Mang and his group had overtaken the big troop, speeding along the deserted wide street towards the "chanical Train Accessories Store" at the street’s end!
Especially the refrigerator on Zhang Yi’s shoulder was extrely eye-catching.
"Ah?"
A Train Captain who was sprinting wildly suddenly heard the sound of engines approaching from behind. He paused slightly, and before he could react, he saw a group of people riding off-road motorcycles whizzing past him, leaving him dumbfounded on the spot.
He subconsciously stopped.
Turned around to look behind the square—are there shared motorcycles for rent there?
Why didn’t he see them?
But being in the crowd, as soon as he stopped, he was imdiately knocked to the ground by those behind him, with countless big feet stepping over his head.
Three minutes later.
The man struggled to get up from the ground, feeling no pain nor injury, as the map prohibited mutual attacks. As soon as he fell, a pale yellow curtain of light wrapped around him, preventing any harm, but he looked a bit miserable.
The most important thing—
He had lost contact with his thug. Looking around, he was all alone. Imdiately he looked ahead to the street and yelled at the marathon-like scene.
"King of Electronic Music Train mbers, stop running, co back!"
But clearly, in such a chaotic scene, his voice did not have the penetrating power he imagined.
Cursing under his breath, he continued to follow!
How did those people have motorcycles, isn’t that damn cheating?!
And don’t know if it’s an illusion, the leader seems a bit familiar, but he just brushed past and didn’t get a clear look.
...
Soon—
Chen Mang rode the off-road motorcycle to a halt at the entrance of the "chanical Train Accessories Store," while the group behind him on the street was still running desperately. He jumped off the vehicle imdiately and led Biaozi and others in large strides toward the store.
anwhile, Zhang Yi was responsible for putting all the off-road motorcycles back into the refrigerator.
Otherwise, they’d definitely be stolen or robbed later.
The store door was very wide, just the door head alone asured ten ters long.
Upon entering the store.
"Welco."
A pleasant voice suddenly echoed in his ear. Chen Mang turned his head and saw a woman standing at the entrance, smiling at him. She was quite attractive, but her appearance made it easy to judge she was a robot.
"This is the chanical Train Accessories Store. You can purchase any item here."
"Feel free to select in the first-floor area. The second-floor area is restricted to Train Captains Level 10 and above; sir’s level is currently below the standard."
"Are there any living people in this city?"
Chen Mang glanced around the store and then asked.
The woman did not reply, just kept smiling at him. Clearly, his question exceeded her database capacity. Her intelligence was not high, nowhere near Ai’s level.
Chen Mang didn’t ask further questions, just led Biaozi and others into the store in large strides.
The shop was quite spacious.
Only along the wall was a row of cabinets lined up. The cabinets had three levels, with a screen every 10 centiters displaying product information, prices, and inventory.
-
"Drill Blueprint": White-grade Vehicle Accessories, priced at 15,000 points, inventory of 2.
"Lighter Production Line Blueprint": White-grade Vehicle Accessories, priced at 8,000 points, inventory of 1.
"Custom Screen Production Line Blueprint": Green-grade Vehicle Accessories, priced at 30,000 points, inventory of 4.
"..."
"Murphy Stone": Special Tool, priced at 100,000 points, inventory of 18.
"..."
"Zombie Siege": Special Tool, Map Chip, to be used with Level 5 ’Combat Training Virtual Space’, priced at 50,000 points, inventory of 1.
"..."
-
The products were abundant, nearly a hundred kinds, but the inventory was low, many products had zero inventory likely due to not being restocked for a long ti.
The city had been deserted for a long ti.
Perhaps before they arrived, the neon lights of the city had not been lit up for a while.
Though it was only a first-floor area.
But it contained good stuff, many items he was eager to get, like the "Zombie Siege" Map Chip, but the price...
Chen Mang lowered his head to look at the 10,000-point balance on his watch. This was the initial balance for each Train Captain, only Train Captains had it, and not the Train mbers they brought along. This price could only buy one white-grade accessory blueprint.
Could only buy those ordinary ones.
Slightly better white-grade accessories all cost over 10,000 points, which he couldn’t afford.
In other words.
This store practically existed for them to look at, not for them to shop at. At this mont, several panting Train Captains led their subordinates, eyes full of excitent and eagerness, rushed into the store.
It seed they were afraid Chen Mang would buy all the good items.
But soon.
After seeing the product prices, these people all stood there with expressions changing like the weather; the items here could not be bought with their balance.
A Train Captain cursed under his breath as he walked out of the store, and as he passed Chen Mang, he sneered.
"What’s the use of running fast."
...
"..."
Chen Mang ignored the man, leading Biaozi and others out of the store, standing on the street, gazing at the surrounding neon-lit skyscrapers, laughing.
He always believed in one thing.
Things can’t just be useless.
Since a store appeared, it must be ant to serve them. If the balance isn’t enough, just earn so points.
"How’s your gambling skills."
He turned to look at Li Shiji and asked with a smile.
"If it’s gambling..."
Li Shiji shook his head firmly and said, "I have no clue."
"Go have a try."
Chen Mang gestured to Zhang Yi to take the off-road motorcycle from the refrigerator: "A city focused on entertainnt surely has casinos or entertainnt cities. This map certainly has places to earn points."
"Go find them."
"Our advantage is having transportation, which allows us to reach more parts of this city."
"How many cans of cola did you bring? Let’s not sleep for these 48 hours."
"Brought over 200 cans."
"That’s enough."
Chen Mang mounted the off-road motorcycle, one foot on the ground, looking ahead, twisted the throttle again, and sped forward along the street with a roaring sound. He planned to first find a small shop or press office to see if he could get hold of a map of the city.
Press office probably couldn’t be found, this term doesn’t match the city’s construction style.
Unsurprisingly.
This city likely had no living people, only programd robots serving as clerks in each store.
At that mont—
Biaozi twisted the throttle and followed closely, licking his lips sowhat excitedly.
"Master Mang, this city doesn’t seem to have any firepower equipnt."
"Why don’t we try just robbing outright?"
"Let’s do one big haul!"
