All conditions were t, but it seems the "mining robots" still couldn’t completely replace the survivors, as the train upgrade required a certain number of survivors aboard.
After consuming 6 million units of iron ore.
The familiar prompt box appeared on the console screen.
-
"Your train has reached Level 15."
"Unlock more components to build."
-
"Whew..."
Chen Mang, sitting in the chair, exhaled lightly. The train had finally reached Level 15, located in the purple region. A Level 15 train was already the highest level train, and to go further up, they had to head to the red region.
And at the mont when the train was upgraded, an abrupt call echoed inside the train compartnt.
Slightly weak, yet sowhat... sticky.
Like a sheep’s bleat, baa baa.
He instinctively looked at Xiaolv sitting beside him, who had been in a deep slumber but was now awake, rolling over and mumbling with its mouth, emitting strange sounds.
"Little one, finally awake, huh?"
Chen Mang scooped it up, examining it up and down. Maybe it had been sleeping too long; its eyes were a bit hard to open, though its mouth could make weak grinding sounds. Being held in his arms, its head kept rubbing against his chin incessantly.
"Hey."
It tickled him a bit, causing him to laugh involuntarily, pressing Xiaolv’s head down: "Don’t rub around, it’s ticklish."
"Let see any change since you awoke... No change at all, huh? After eating so much of my iron ore, do sothing useful. What if an enemy cos? Can you protect ?"
This was his special carriage, the "Giant Beast Carriage," in which every train upgrade consud a portion of iron ore on Xiaolv over ti.
He actually had so regrets when Xiaolv awoke.
Originally he thought Xiaolv might not only be an S-level Stellar Giant Beast’s cub, possibly an R-level Stellar Giant Beast’s cub, but now it seems he overthought. After all, there was no such level, a fignt of his imagination that might exist.
The next mont——
Xiaolv seed to understand, rolled to the ground, and then hopped from the window to the ground. Before landing, its size suddenly expanded, turning into a green ball more than ten ters big.
Still fluffy.
It opened its blood-red mouth, turning to show Chen Mang inside the train compartnt, where there were as many as 100 heavy machine guns in its mouth. Then it pointed its mouth at the air, and with countless sputtering sounds, a storm like a steel torrent surged out!
...
"..."
Chen Mang, with a complex expression, held Xiaolv in his arms, prying open its mouth to look at the miniature guns inside: "Doesn’t it hurt?"
Xiaolv shook its head.
The "Giant Beast Carriage" effect was to accelerate the growth phase of the Stellar Giant Beast cub and give it so combat power in its juvenile stage, like this. Normally, Xiaolv wouldn’t have any attack thods at this stage.
But since it had beco a Giant Beast Carriage.
It had the attack thod of the "Built-in Fire Control System."
"You can grow bigger... that’s amazing..."
"What do you usually eat?"
"Human food?"
"Don’t eat?"
"Then Energy Stones?"
"Not even that."
"How about iron ore?"
This ti Xiaolv nodded.
"Alright." Chen Mang lifted Xiaolv up, laughing in the air: "Also a money guzzler, but I don’t have more information on the Stellar Giant Beast for now, so you’ll have to manage with this. Once I reach Level 18, and know more about the Stellar Giant Beast’s real situation, I’ll see how to cultivate you."
"Stellar Giant Beast..."
"Born to live in the Star Sea, sounds impressive."
"Although your size was up to 10 ters just now, your predecessors fed on stars, and you’re quite a bit behind them."
Xiaolv pouted, a hint of disdain flashing in its eyes.
"Tsk, that little pouty mouth, are you saying that once you grow, you’ll be stronger than them?"
"Fine, I’m looking forward to seeing you grow, I really want to see how a giant beast eats stars."
...
Fang, sitting nearby, placed Chen Mang’s soaked feet in her arms, carefully trimming them with a blade. Occasionally, she would smile knowingly at the conversation between Master Mang and Xiaolv, as she had hardly seen such a gentle side of Master Mang.
"You can do pedicures too?"
Chen Mang smiled as he watched Fang trimming his nails while holding Xiaolv: "They indeed have not been cut for a long ti, I used to trim them often due to ingrown toenails, but after treating it in the dical Cabin, I haven’t cut them much."
"But before Doomsday, did you do pedicures?"
A change was needed.
Fang could be out of a job.
"No."
Fang responded without looking up, continuing to trim carefully: "Master Mang, you forgot, the first ti you asked my na, I told you I was an elentary school teacher, and you shouldn’t trim ingrown toenails repeatedly, it gets more painful each ti."
"The deeper you trim each ti, the trickier the position it grows out from next, it’s a vicious cycle."
"I just liked watching donkey hoof trimming videos before Doomsday and learned it along the way..."
"..."
Chen Mang stared at Fang expressionlessly.
"Master Mang..." Fang responded quickly, a bit uneasy: "Did I say sothing wrong?"
"It’s fine."
He was in a good mood now, with just the two of them left on the train, even Ji Chuchu and the others had gone inside to play. The train compartnt windows were open, letting the night breeze in, giving a cool feeling mixed with the warm wind, comfortable yet cold.
