But the problem is—
"Crisis Valley" doesn't seem to have any trains underground for some reason, but in the Shahe Plain, there are plenty of trains underground searching for mines. He's worried that sooner or later someone will accidentally find that train tunnel and then happen to find that hole dug on top of the tunnel.
And enter the train tunnel.
Wouldn't his secret base be exposed then?
He really likes this train tunnel.
Whenever he encounters any big crisis in the future, he can just hide in the train tunnel. Who could find him? He's already using this tunnel and the elevator shafts leading to various places as his secret base, like when he hides in the Heaven-Reaching Tower on the Shahe Plain.
Never mind level 12 monsters, even level 20 monsters wouldn't find him!
What is there to fear!
Forget it...
Besides, there's no other way. The chances are so small. He just can't believe that anyone would go 30,000 meters underground to find minerals. Generally, minerals only get 10,000 meters deep at most, and there wouldn't be any deeper.
...
The Fixed Star train, already at the outskirts of Kunlun Mountain, immediately turned around and headed back toward the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
Upon seeing the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
He immediately switched to the drill and dug underground. He didn't really want to meet those two again; it would be embarrassing. Besides, he already mentioned there would be a welcome gift next time they met, so if they did meet again, should he give it or not?
Before long, he found the train tunnel 30,000 meters beneath the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
The target detection radar didn't show it.
He found it by feeling his way around.
Fortunately, it was right beneath the Heaven-Reaching Tower, so it wasn't very hard to find.
...
After drilling another hole in the shell outside the train tunnel, the Fixed Star continued to proceed inside the tunnel.
He was determined to see what lay at the end of it today.
Train compartment.
Chen Mang called over Doba and Mondo, looking at Mondo with a somewhat complicated expression: "Who set the rule for you that at most only a third of the train's iron ore can be used to buy Murphy Stone? I don't think I set you that rule, did I?"
"I thought of it myself."
Mondo spoke in a muffled voice: "A train without iron ore will soon perish. We need to do long-term business, not one-off deals. Only by allowing the train to continue developing can it have stronger purchasing power next time."
"But... how could there be trains that you... um... traded twice?"
"There are. They're goblin face-blind."
"That's good."
Chen Mang sighed lightly, then said seriously: "In the future, try to trade with higher-level trains. For those trains, missing hundreds of thousands of units of iron ore isn't even a flesh wound, but let's spare those level 4 trains next time."
"If they miss 100,000 units of iron ore, they might really die."
"Understood!"
"Alright, you can go. You've worked hard these past few days. By the way, Doba, remember to properly reward Mondo when you get back. This time he really made a contribution."
"No problem." Doba replied seriously: "Leave it to me."
...
"Here we go again, here we go again!!!"
The purple area "Desperate Island," a gigantic train over 30 meters tall slowly came to a stop. A man with a head full of red hair, filled with rage, opened the train car door. His backpack emitted two jets of light blue flames, which propelled the man into the air and successfully landed him on the ground.
The man, just landed, pointed with rage at the black-market trader in a black cloak standing in front of the train and yelled: "You've tricked me twice already! What the hell do you want, damn it! Do you intend to trick me a third time?!!"
"Huh?"
"Can't you switch targets when you scam people? Why are you always aiming at me?"
"Do you think I'm easy to bully?!"
"Believe it or not, if I weren't prohibited from attacking you, I'd crush you into a cookie. Damn it, get lost! I'm not buying anything, get as far away as you can!"
"Wait a minute..."
The red-haired man's eyes suddenly sparkled with scheming intent as he grinned: "You wait here for a moment. While I won't trade, I'll call a friend to come and trade with you. Just wait."
He immediately returned to the train compartment and contacted his longtime rival.
Very soon.
A thick pink train, emitting a piercing sonic boom, approached from afar.
Upon stopping,
a small elevator descended to the ground from the train. When the elevator door opened, a burly man with a stubbly beard, leading a group of thugs, glanced suspiciously at the red-haired man before cautiously heading toward the black-market trader.
"I have some heritage value here..."
"..."
Ten minutes later.
The burly bearded man smiled contentedly and looked at the red-haired man: "Wow, brother, I underestimated you before. I always thought you were petty; didn't expect you to be so committed over major issues."
"I've held onto these 1,000-plus heritage points for over half a year, unable to spend them, and today I finally did."
"Thanks, brother. Let's forget past grievances; see you when there's business. You'll see how I perform then."
"Pretty manly!"
"..."
The red-haired man stared, somewhat dumbfounded, at the departing pink train, then hurriedly jogged to the black-market trader: "Um... I used up all my heritage value last time with your colleague, but don't you have a hidden store where you can buy stuff with iron ore for only 10% of the price?"
"I want to buy that."
The black-market trader, expressionless, glanced at the red-haired man.
"Foolish human, the great black-market trader only serves one customer at a time."
With that, he vanished instantly from where he stood.
"..."
Leaving the red-haired man pounding his chest in frustration, face full of regret. Who knew this black-market trader was actually genuine? Could there be fake black-market traders? Next time, he should at least give it a try; it might just be real.
His heritage value was already used up during the first encounter with the black-market trader.
It was just that he was deceived while purchasing from the hidden store.
Moreover...
"Hmm..."
The red-haired man, face full of determination, decided he should collect more "Doomsday Marriage Certificates." He realized he seemed to attract black-market traders somehow. Many trains hadn't encountered black-market traders since the Doomsday, but he had met them three times.
The previous two black-market traders, although the hidden stores were fake, the heritage value store was definitely real.
If not for meeting these black-market traders, he still wouldn't have been able to spend those heritage points. In the heritage value store, one could purchase Murphy Stones, high-level accessory blueprints, and some special tools, all quite rare.
...
At this moment, inside the train tunnel.
The Fixed Star is speeding along.
Who knows how much time passed, but the long bright incandescent lamps on both sides of the tunnel finally turned back into flickering red warning lights. The train slowly reduced its speed, and once again a "train elevator" appeared on the right wall of the tunnel.
It had already returned to the "Tieling Wasteland."
Going straight back to Newbie Village.
As he once again dropped a level 2 Energy Stone into the elevator hopper, the elevator door slowly opened, the train quickly drove in, and then the elevator began to ascend.
"Ding."
When the elevator stopped steadily, an alert sound came from within, and the elevator door slowly opened, revealing the formal bottom of the "Doomsday Abyss," with the elevator disguised and hidden against the adjacent wall.
He could even see that broken goblin train in the distance.
It was the very goblin train Doba drove that day!
When he left that day, he didn't consume it but left it here for future remembrance. Several months had passed by now, and the broken goblin train was covered in dust, heavily marked by the passage of time.
"This is... homecoming."
Chen Mang walked down from the train compartment, stood at the bottom of the Doomsday Abyss leaning on his staff, and looked at the distance where those iron mines had already refreshed, and unexpectedly began to laugh.
Two level 2 iron mines, one level 1 copper mine.
Still the same three mines.
Back then, it was precisely these three mines that gave him enormous support during his initial stages, and now they had refreshed once again.
