He planned to wait until one day when he had his own career, then confess everything to his father; otherwise, it always felt like there was sothing stuck in his heart.
...
And at this mont——
Inside the Constant Star Train compartnt.
Chen Mang frowned as he looked at the man in front of him, fear flickering in his eyes. This man was the miner from earlier, and he suddenly realized sothing: it’s likely that the telescope isn’t related to the train.
It’s likely that the telescope is related to this miner.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t the other miners go to that mine, and only this miner could keep going to that mine?
"Master... Master Mang."
The man standing there spoke with a trembling voice: "That telescope used to be mine, but then one day, it just suddenly disappeared. I looked for it for a long ti but couldn’t find it."
He had been listening in earlier, and upon seeing that telescope, his emotions suddenly surged, causing the dream to collapse.
"Tell everything from the beginning, in detail."
"Alright."
After taking a deep breath, the man spoke hoarsely with his head lowered: "During Doomsday, I was a Train Captain, and of course, after civilization united, all Train Captains returned to civilian life; I joined the Constant Star Train and beca a Cyberminer."
"That was back in the Zombie Basin days, where I had already seen you, Master Mang. At that ti, a train called the ’Wild Bull’ issued a bounty reward for you. Anyone who sent them your train’s coordinates would receive a reward."
"I... I found your train back then and submitted your coordinates to them."
"Hmm."
Chen Mang nodded slightly, quickly searching through his mories for this period of history. Although the na ’Wild Bull’ felt sowhat unfamiliar, he did have so mory of this event.
"Continue."
"At that ti, the reason I wasn’t detected by your train’s radar, Master Mang, was because I was very far away, not within your radar’s range. I observed using a Level 10 telescope."
"Wait, I need to interrupt here."
Chen Mang gently said: "I rember that before the Wild Bull arrived, there was indeed a train lurking in the distance. But at that ti, you were within my radar range; I was just too lazy to bother with you."
The man was slightly stunned, then continued: "The telescope I had back then was picked up from a garbage dump on an Adventure Map. I was curious at the ti who would upgrade a telescope to Level 10 and then throw it away."
"After that, I used that telescope for a long ti, and it worked very well."
"Then one day it just went missing."
"I never found it again."
"Wait..."
Chen Mang furrowed his brow, calling Doba over, and then said: "Doba, compare the Adventure Map you saw in the Ti Rift that day with his; see if you two are talking about the sa Adventure Map."
...
Ten minutes later.
"Hoo..."
Chen Mang exhaled deeply, gently rubbing his temples. Things are clear now; the telescope this guy picked up is exactly the one he threw into the Ti Rift back then.
Only...
The tiline doesn’t quite match up.
This guy was already using the telescope to observe him in the Yellow Zone - "Zombie Basin", while he threw the telescope away in the Purple Zone - "Stone Man Area" in Qiu City.
Which ans——
Even before he discarded it, this guy was already using it.
He had directly thrown the telescope to the past.
The Ti Rift was connected to an Adventure Map from the past, and the ti span wasn’t too long, probably about one or two months.
Everything is clear now.
But he truly didn’t expect that the Ti Rift led to the past.
But even so, how did the telescope end up in that guy’s hands?
"Think carefully, how did you lose this telescope? What did you do with it before losing it? Think carefully."
"I..."
The man stood there for a long ti before speaking in a low voice: "The last ti I saw it was shortly after leaving Zombie Basin. I used it before going to sleep at night, and then it disappeared the next morning."
"Is there surveillance in the train compartnt?"
"Yes, but the surveillance didn’t capture anything. The footage clearly shows putting it in the drawer before going to sleep, but when I woke up, it wasn’t there. I searched repeatedly but couldn’t find it."
"I thought it might be haunted, so I didn’t bother with it anymore."
"Doesn’t seem right?" Old Pig standing to the side said sowhat strangely: "Such a big matter as feeling haunted, and you just ignored it?"
"Uh... Given the circumstances at the ti, a haunting didn’t seem to be such a big deal..."
"Makes sense, too."
"Alright then."
After a montary pause, Chen Mang softly said: "You can leave for now. I’ll contact you if needed."
It’s now clear that the telescope in the fat guy’s hands was made by his train. How his father managed to obtain this telescope is unknown, but it must be significant; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so angry.
After a long while.
He finally leaned back on the chair, sighed deeply, and murmured: "The cosmos is full of ssy stuff."
The distance between the two civilizations must be at least over a hundred thousand light-years, which he was certain of. He didn’t know the exact distance, only being able to see civilizations within a hundred thousand light-years, but he couldn’t understand how that guy managed to steal the telescope from so far away?
However...
The fat guy’s father suddenly prospering is very likely due to this incident.
This Little Fatty is actually quite cute and straightforward. As for his father’s secret, he didn’t get a single word out, unwittingly revealing all the information about the civilization when initially, he was targeting its basic details.
If this was discovered, he’d surely get whacked with a belt.
How it happened isn’t important for now.
What he needs to know is.
How to leverage this incident to yield sufficient benefits.
