"Before leaving, let's sell a wave of cigarettes."

Chen Mang looked towards the Train Radio and immediately drafted a message in the chat box.

"Constant Star Train": Selling various daily necessities, cigarettes, tea, rice noodle rolls, pig's trotter rice, coffee, etc. No need for face-to-face transactions, low prices, remote transactions available, direct private chat, deadline is noon today, don't miss out.

Almost the instant the message was pinned.

Two people sent private messages.

In the past, daily necessities like "bread" and "meat patties" were available on the train, and the desire to purchase wasn't strong.

But the goods he's selling now are not available on many trains.

Can't buy much, but getting a little for personal enjoyment is no problem.

At the gathering in "Tieling Wasteland," the general market price was 200 units of iron ore for a pack of cigarettes, which is equivalent to 20 units of iron ore per pack. Of course, the price would be higher in the Shahe Plain.

After all, the price of products, besides their own inherent value, largely depends on the local consumption level.

In the white areas, people barely have any iron ore.

The price of cigarettes can only be that much.

But in the Shahe Plain, people have slightly more resources, so the price can be a bit higher.

"..."

Chen Mang glanced at the Train Radio. In such a short time, seven or eight people had already inquired. Besides the fact that his products are indeed scarce and tempting, the ability to trade remotely is also a big factor.

Very few people would specifically take a train trip just to buy a pack of cigarettes.

But with remote transactions, it's quite convenient.

He didn't look at the messages, handing over full control of the Train Radio to Ai. Ai then transformed into a professional customer service, determining needs, negotiating prices, controlling the production of parts on production line No.4, and having items delivered to the train room. Then Ai placed the items on the "balance" for remote transactions.

Quite busy.

"What a pity."

Chen Mang looked regretfully at the orderly Ai: "If it were peacetime, having a helper like you, I could directly start a customer service outsourcing company, who knows how much money I'd make."

"Forget about a three-minute response rate, I could achieve a three-second response rate."

In the previous world, he had done e-commerce for a while and couldn't afford customer service during the startup phase, so he worked part-time as customer service himself. The three-minute response rate almost drove him to a nervous breakdown.

...

Chen Mang no longer managed the trade matters, leaving them entirely to Ai.

He stepped off the train.

After setting up tables and chairs on the plain, he asked Fang to fetch a few more portions and invited Er Dan to join for breakfast.

"See which flavor you like."

Chen Mang smiled and picked up a piece of crab roe with chopsticks, sending it into his mouth. The sour beans and chopped chilies combined with the fragrance of the rice noodle rolls instantly invaded his taste buds, and he nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, the taste is okay, give it a try."

"So extravagant..."

Er Dan rubbed his hands excitedly, and without hesitation, picked up his chopsticks and began devouring the three portions of rice noodle rolls in front of him: "Bro, I saw your message pinned in the chat box of the Train Radio?"

"Isn't this also a Supermodel Effect of the Train Radio?"

"Mm."

Chen Mang ate quickly. After finishing all three servings of rice noodle rolls with not a bit wasted, he finally took a sip of hot tea. He then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, shook one out, and laughed:

"Sometimes it's quite useful; you can try upgrading next time."

"Try it."

"These are cigarettes made from premium tobacco leaves, whereas what I'm selling on the Train Radio is ordinary tobacco."

Premium tobacco, 100 units of iron ore per pack.

Cigarettes are a consumable, and a non-essential one at that, so this price is indeed steep.

But for him alone, it's no problem; he can afford to use them.

Er Dan quickly put down his chopsticks, lit one up, and gave a thumbs-up: "Smooth!"

"Tsk."

Chen Mang shook his head with a slightly exasperated smile and said nothing more, just sat in the chair, looking into the distance at Zhang Damei driving a mecha and fighting monsters. It's nice to have someone to talk to.

But speaking of which.

Zhang Damei has been getting more and more reckless lately. Those wandering zombies were at least a thousand meters away from the train, and the route didn't seem like they'd reach the train, yet Zhang Damei rushed over to finish off those zombies.

Even if the "Executioner" mecha doesn't consume much energy.

A level 2 Energy Stone can sustain full combat for 100 hours.

But still, it shouldn't be wasted like this.

This kid doesn't know the value of things unless they manage the household.

...

By noon.

The Train Radio's notification sound hadn't been heard for a while; basically, those willing to buy had already bought.

"Gross profit is 168,800 units of iron ore, cost is 4,920 units of iron ore."

Inside the train room, Ai's voice rang out.

"Is the profit really that high?"

Chen Mang clicked his tongue. The production cost of a pack of cigarettes is 10 units of iron ore, and the selling price is 400 units of iron ore. Honestly, selling a pack of cigarettes for 400 units, he felt he was already quite fair.

It's just a 40-fold profit.

He's worked hard for so long just to get the "Tobacco Production Line" blueprint, so making some money isn't much of a problem, right?

"Pretty good."

He smiled, picked up the hot tea beside him, took a sip, and immediately didn't waste any more time, steering the train room towards the "Kunlun Mountain" area.

Destination—

Cross Kunlun Mountain, head to the yellow area "Zombie Basin."
