It's about time to leave.

He has cleared some Level 9 zombies in Zombie Basin so that the remaining trains there aren't completely hopeless, and later trains coming from Shahe Plain won't immediately run into a dead end.

But he only cleared about two-thirds.

Didn't finish the job.

After all, to leave this area, you must kill three Level 9 monsters; if you kill them all, without new Level 9 monsters coming out, the trains would be trapped here.

He believes that the B-level difficulty mission is very hard to complete, likely to kill a bunch of people.

...

"Huff..."

It was just nightfall, and Chen Mang stretched his muscles, picked up the walkie-talkie, and called Er Dan over, preparing to upgrade him to a Level 10 train, then head to the blue area together.

It is worth mentioning that—

After that movie screening seven days ago, the residents were indeed working harder.

But he wondered if the development path had gone a bit astray.

The heroine from the movie was actually an assistant to the director's team, and after filming, she went straight into the industry, charging five Fixed Star Coupons per time, with an unprecedented stream of clients lining up by her bed.

Especially when that heroine dressed in the same outfit as in the movie and pretended to be anesthetized, lying motionless on the bed, her business improved further.

Then she changed her bed sheets to white ones, creating a hospital feeling in her Red House.

She completely overshadowed those little celebrities.

When he heard this news, he was silent. He found out through Fang, who he overheard gossiping with Ji Chuchu in Car No. 5 during an impromptu inspection of his train that day.

That's how he learned about this somewhat outrageous yet seemingly logical situation.

His movie screening felt like it had turned into a promotional video for her.

Soon—

Er Dan walked over, stood below the train cabin, and looked up, saying, "Master Mang, you called for me."

"Yeah."

Chen Mang got off the train, waved, and Ai jumped down from the train carrying a refrigerator: "You're currently at Level 6; upgrading to Level 7 requires 500,000 units of iron ore, to Level 8 needs 1 million units, and to Level 9, 1.5 million."

"Altogether, 3 million."

"There are 4 million here; 3 million units of iron ore for your train upgrade, and the remaining 1 million units are for making Energy Stones. The copper ore should still be enough, right?"

"Everything's enough."

Er Dan seemed a bit embarrassed, quietly saying, "Master Mang, you gave me so many resources last time, and I only brought back a purple-grade accessory, I feel a bit..."

"No pressure."

Chen Mang shook his head, put his hands on Er Dan's shoulders seriously, and said, "This isn't a one-time deal. I'm making a long-term investment in you, and the Future of the Fixed Star is destined to go further. I hope to have a train that can explore the Adventure Map or execute some special missions when the Fixed Star is held up."

"Moreover, the Traveling Frog train belongs to me."

"But… nominally, I'm still the Train Captain of the Traveling Frog train. Aren't you worried I might run away suddenly?"

"Not worried."

Chen Mang smiled and said, "Your current life is what you've always dreamed of. If you run away, you won't find another sucker like me providing you with iron ore. Besides, there should be feelings between people; I trust you."

"Even if you run away, it's surely because of something I did wrong, and we should part peacefully."

"Really?"

"Of course not."

Chen Mang sighed emotionally, pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in Er Dan's mouth, and lit it for him, chuckling lightly, "If you really run, you'll experience firsthand the oppression from the Fixed Star, because enemies tend to feel it more keenly than allies."

"I was just saying…"

Er Dan awkwardly scratched his nose, then took a deep breath and said firmly, "Since you, Master Mang, trust me like this, I will not let you down. Next time, I'll definitely bring back better things."

"I trust you. Go ahead, little frog."

"Little frog? I'm Er Dan, Master Mang."

"Alright, Er Dan, go on."

...

Soon—

Er Dan's train was upgraded straight to Level 9 in one go and directly broke through to Level 10. The "Traveling Frog" perfectly met the two requirements to break through to Level 10, as did the Fixed Star!

Almost simultaneously.

The Constant Star Train also reached Level 10!

Inside the train cabin.

Chen Mang looked at the information appearing on the control panel.

-

"Your train has reached Level 10."

"More components for crafting will be unlocked."

-

Finally Level 10!

The most noticeable change is the appearance of two new buttons on the control panel, which are new features of the train!

"Mechanical Fortress," "Train Expansion."

The first feature, Mechanical Fortress.

When this button is pressed.

The train will form a circle from head to tail, root into the ground, and last for 24 hours. During this time, all "defense-type accessories" upgrade by one level, and all "firepower-type accessories" consume half.

But the cost is that the train cannot move for 24 hours and is rooted in place.

How to put it.

During an extreme crisis, this effect could keep the train safe, provided that the crisis can be handled after activating the "Mechanical Fortress," otherwise it'd be a mechanical grave.

The second feature, "Train Expansion."

The Fixed Star now has a total of 15 cars, each car being 3 meters wide and 10 meters long.
