System: My Doomsday Train

Chapter 214: "Everyone wants to see something... satisfying."_2


There's still a bit of reluctance.

But since I've decided to relax today, I might as well fully unwind and let all the residents have a carefree day off. It's like a vacation, and once they are well-rested, they'll be more motivated to mine later.

Soon—

The movie started.

Without an opening sequence, the screen immediately displayed a familiar scene, with the male and female leads appearing in a hospital. The scene was very realistic, the screen big, providing an immersive experience, and he even felt he could smell the disinfectant.

The Car Sound System's audio enveloped all the residents.

The movie experience could be described as nearly perfect.

"Quite professional, huh."

Chen Mang nodded with satisfaction, smiling as he watched. The work capability of the people below seemed to exceed his imagination. With the current resources of the train, they actually managed to set up a giant cinema in the middle of Doomsday.

Even the guards came to watch, leaving the Doomsday Cannon and a bunch of robots to handle alert patrols on the perimeter. Poor Ai, this kid.

And the male lead didn't seem to be blind this time; his eyes weren't bandaged.

"Xiaomei."

The male lead sat beside the female lead's hospital bed, tenderly stroking her cheek and murmuring with a dazed expression, "You know, I really love you. You are semi-sedated now, so you should still be able to hear me."

"In three minutes, Doomsday will erupt."

"In the past life, I donated my corneas to you, letting you see the light again. When Doomsday came, I took you with me, escaping for over a year. But when we encountered zombies, you callously pushed me into their arms, fleeing with another man. Only then did I realize you've been betraying me for years!"

"Perhaps it's divine justice to let me live another life!"

"In this life, I won't donate my corneas to you again. I will rely on my foresight of the future to become the king of Doomsday!"

With that—

The male lead abruptly stood up, his affectionate gaze vanished, replaced by a cold indifference and killing intent. He glanced at the clock in the hospital room and said coldly, "But before that, I want to enjoy myself once."

"Three minutes is enough."

With that, he pounced on the female lead on the bed.

"Roar!"

The residents behind cheered excitedly after seeing this scene.

...

"..."

Chen Mang stared expressionlessly at the movie on the screen, then at Zhang Yiren, standing aside and looking quite uneasy. He too should be uneasy, and then he turned to Old Pig beside him, "I recall you were the one guiding this movie, right?"

"Uh..."

Old Pig, also a bit uneasy, whispered, "Back then, Master Mang, didn't you say to make a movie everyone likes to watch, saying the movie is mainly for the residents to relax and that what everyone likes is a good movie?"

"So I went around asking everyone's opinions."

"Everyone wanted something... a bit more exciting."

"No."

Chen Mang shook his head, "While this is a bit extreme, it's understandable. What I truly don't get is how the male lead, being blind in the past life, managed to survive a year in Doomsday with the female lead?"

"And how did he manage to see the female lead running away with another man when he was dying?"

"Did he suddenly unleash his potential and regain his vision at the last moment?"

"Uh..."

Old Pig froze in place, a look of bewilderment in his eyes. He hadn't thought of that question. Immediately, he gestured to Zhang Yiren standing by, "Come over and explain to Master Mang."

"Because he had powers, the male lead awakened his abilities in the past life and regained his sight."

"That's good."

By this time, the three minutes had ended.

Zombies had already broken in through the window, and the TV in the hospital room broadcasted the intermittent emergency news again. Along with the change in the background music, a sense of crisis enveloped them.

The movie's male lead, unhurriedly, pulled up his pants, looked out at the zombie outside the window, and said coldly.

"In the past life, I had killed countless zombies like you."

Then he casually snapped the woman's neck.

He pulled a fire ax from under the bed and charged forward!

Thus began the plot of the movie.

...

Two hours later.

The movie ended, and Chen Mang, somewhat dazed, sat on the ground, surrounded by piles of sunflower seed shells. He could swear that if this movie had been reviewed before Doomsday, it wouldn't have passed.

The male lead in the movie was excessively crazed.

He already forgot the plot.

It could basically be divided into three parts.

One-third killed zombies, one-third was revenge, and one-third was fooling around.

Can't say it was awful.

Just a bit too wild.

But...

He glanced back at the group behind him, who were excited and eagerly discussing the movie plot. He didn't say much but sighed softly, leaned on his cane, and walked away towards the train carriage.

At least the goal was achieved.

Everyone seemed to have had fun. If everyone liked it, then that's fine.

Though he deeply suspected it was more the excitement of watching a movie in Doomsday. Even watching a lousy film could lead to lively discussions.

The amount of dopamine an activity generates heavily depends on the environment.

Next, there's a song and dance performance.

A cute little girl in a performance outfit went on stage and sang a song with a clear voice.

"Clap your hands up."

"The little girl beside is a cute type."

"Her skilled dance steps moving to the dubstep..."

He didn't know the girl, but it sounded good. With so many residents on the train, it was impossible to know everyone. Chen Mang didn't participate in the next activities. He sat in the train carriage and looked at the purple component of the "weather control device".

It consumed 10,000 units of iron ore to create.

To upgrade to Level 10, it requires 550,000 units of iron ore. He didn't want to upgrade it for now.

This component's effect is to create weather within a certain range. The higher the level, the broader the range, which seems to have little effect.

But his Wind-Fire Wheel's two Supermodel Effects are—

-

"Wind-Fire Wheel Level 5 Supermodel Effect": Can stimulate the Potential State, doubling the train's maximum speed, quickly consuming Energy Stone, and causing some damage to the Wind-Fire Wheel.

"Wind-Fire Wheel Level 10 Supermodel Effect": During gale tailwinds, the Wind-Fire Wheel ignites, greatly increasing speed.

-

With the "weather control device" component, he could keep his train in perpetual gale conditions with tailwinds, meaning his Wind-Fire Wheel would always be greatly boosted!

And with the Level 5 Supermodel Effect, the maximum speed could directly reach over a thousand km per hour.

Although it still pales compared to the "Traveling Frog," the Traveling Frog is a bit too extreme.

"That's good."

Chen Mang lay back in his chair, quite satisfied, and wondered about Mondo's situation lately. Mondo hadn't returned to the Constant Star Train for ten days, always out trading, and he worried that fellow might have gotten himself killed.

Next, it's time to prepare for upgrading to Level 10 train and head to the blue zone.

...

The residents' celebration ended quickly, with everyone eagerly discussing it.

In truth, there wasn't much to discuss about the movie's plot, but everyone wanted to talk about something, especially the newcomers on the train, who used it as a starting point to try integrating into the train community.

It's like a student transferring to a class and listening to a neighbor's gossip about other classmates, not interested yet feeling obliged to hear it.

Is it really about the gossip?

It's about understanding human relationships.

...

Seven days later.

During these seven days, Chen Mang was mining and killing monsters, residents mined during the day, and he drove the train to kill monsters at night, amassing "7.82 million units" of iron ore. The production efficiency was sufficient.

It's just there's no more Level 3 iron ore; they're all Level 2.
