Their "Neon City Free Entry Ticket" was picked up.

The dwarf man had visited Neon City before. Back then, Neon City was not the same as it is now. It had changed a lot, especially the currency name, which was changed to Fixed Star Coupon. Looking at the Mechanical Train Accessories Store, he saw many familiar products.

Both men almost simultaneously had a thought in their minds.

That man...

Occupied this city and became its master. Yet, both men tacitly stayed silent. Since Master Mang didn't voluntarily reveal his identity, it indicated that he wanted to keep his identity hidden. Naturally, they wouldn't say anything more.

...

All the train captains entering Neon City would become loyal users of the city.

This is a revolutionary existence.

The gatherings almost lost their meaning. Aside from the white area, there were no more slave trades above the green area, unless they had exceptionally beautiful women, like stars, who would still be traded at the gatherings.

Moreover, in Neon City, transactions can be made freely.

There's entertainment as well.

You can purchase many special products.

You can communicate with other train captains.

You can gather enough secrets by eavesdropping on the conversations between big shots.

For example...

At that moment, there were only three minutes left until Neon City closed. A young man opened the door of a single toilet cubicle, and tremblingly stepped out. He had almost sat on the toilet for 24 hours; his legs were numb and couldn't move.

He hadn't gone anywhere the entire day.

Just hiding in the corner of the toilet, patiently waiting.

Although physically and mentally exhausted, feeling even more worn out than mining for a day, his spirit was extremely high, with eyes glowing brightly.

This was his second visit!

This time he hid throughout in the toilet, listening to the conversations between train captains who came with thugs to the toilet or those familiar train captains who came together, hearing a lot of secrets and gossip.

If fantasy novels often use taverns as sources of information.

Then in non-fantasy novels, information can actually be gathered in toilets.

The accuracy of the information exchanged in toilets is often absurdly high.

After all...

Few people boast or brag in the toilet.

The solemn atmosphere of such a place naturally makes people want to speak some truths.

Based on today's overheard information, he keenly captured a point, which was... information gap!

The accessory blueprints produced in each area are different, and their prices vary. For example, the "Drill" accessory blueprint in his area is so common that almost everyone has one. But just now, a train captain who had come to the toilet said to his thug, in such a large place, there isn't a single Drill accessory blueprint. The Resource Detection Radar shows the underground is full of mines, but without going down, they can't be mined.

The "Drill" accessory blueprint indeed isn't for sale, even in his area, it's not for sale.

Since almost everyone has one, most people just go to obtain it once, getting a second one is meaningless, and no one would buy it.

What he needs to do now.

Is to quickly acquire "Drill" accessory blueprints within his area and then sell them at a high price the next time he enters Neon City.

This is his plan!

These are the blocks of money. Once the information becomes transparent later, the prices will also become transparent, and such profiteering wouldn't exist, but before that, he can earn a fortune.

The young man excitedly dragged his troublesome numb legs, struggling to lean against the wall as he moved out of the toilet.

Just when leaving the toilet.

He was somewhat confused.

"What? I just took a dump, and you want 4,700 Fixed Star Coupons from me?"

The staff guarding the toilet door gently replied, "Sir, we charge based on time, free within 5 minutes, exceeding 5 minutes, charging 100 Fixed Star Coupons every half hour."

"...Here you go!"

...

Neon City closed.

Chen Mang had already returned to the Constant Star Train's cabin. At this moment, all residents were already resting. He reclined on the chair listening to Mr. Li, who stood beside him, start to report.

Mr. Li cleared his throat and began, "Last night was the second opening of 'Neon City,' with a business duration of 24 hours. The number of train captains entering Neon City was 568, an increase of 173% compared to the previous period."

"The peak number of train captains staying in Neon City was 283, up 180.2% compared to the previous peak."

"Among them, trains at level 6 and below accounted for 82%."

"Of these 568, 123 were entering for the second time, and the remaining 445 were newcomers entering for the first time, with 223 entering through referrals."

"Today's total business turnover was 30.12 million Fixed Star Coupons, up 62.9% compared to the previous period."

"Hmm."

Chen Mang leaned back on the chair with a satisfied expression, listening to Mr. Li's report with quite a good mood. Everything was in a state of growth: "Out of this turnover of 30.12 million, how much can I directly take out?"

"2,777 million units of iron ore, all can be freely used."

"Take them all out later."

"Alright."

"Also, the number of people increased by 173%, why did the turnover only increase by 62.9%?"

"The primary reason is that the first group who entered this time was mainly just for fun without consumption. Less went to the Custom Shop, and secondly, the 'Free Trade Market' occupied a significant market share. This part brought us no profit, as many train captains spent Fixed Star Coupons to purchase items from other train captains, leading to a bit of outflow of funds. If we charged a transaction fee, we could claim a part of this cake as well."
