CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 115: TRAIN STUNT

"That’s not how you curse effectively."

A young man who also jumped off the carriage tightened his belt, carried a pickaxe, and glanced sideways at Doba with a grin: "Cursing like a woman, who still insults ’stupid humans’ these days? It’s like you’re flirting."

"Come on, learn from me."

"A bunch of idiots, all of you get the hell out of here!"

Doba, full of rage and ready to continue yelling, suddenly showed a hint of hesitation in his eyes after hearing this human’s words. He tentatively said in a low voice, "A bunch of... a bunch of idiots, get... get out?"

"How was that?"

"It seems... it does feel angrier..."

Then Doba took a deep breath, raised the pickaxe high in his hand, and shouted angrily: "A bunch of idiots, get the hell out of the way for the great goblins!"

Then he forced his way into the crowd, leading a group of goblins behind him, forcibly creating a path through the crowd like Moses parting the sea, shouting angrily as he went.

Very soon——

Everyone got into position, and the sound of mining clinks and clanks echoed once again in the center of the swamp.

Previously, all the slaves’ pickaxes had to be surrendered every day, partly because during riots, pickaxes could be quite lethal weapons, and partly because in fights between slaves, pickaxes could easily lead to fatalities.

But after transitioning from slaves to residents.

Gradually, the habit of surrendering pickaxes disappeared.

Mainly because everyone’s mining times varied every day, making it hard to collect the pickaxes uniformly. Also, most residents had come to accept the Constant Star Train in their hearts and no longer wanted to riot. Even those inclined to riot would shelve the thought upon seeing the ten inward-pointing machine guns inside the carriage.

...

"Keep it up, kids."

Chen Mang sat in the train’s cabin, looking out at the enthusiastic residents outside. Seeing them even made him want to swing a few pickaxes too. Then he shifted his gaze to the components that could be crafted after the train was upgraded to Level 4.

He had been saving iron ore these days, and many Level 4 train components were yet to be crafted.

There were a total of five craftable components, three yellow, one blue, and one white.

These five components were all necessary for upgrading the train to Level 5. As the train’s level increased, the number of craftable components decreased, from the initial seventeen to the current five.

-

"Hell Cannon": Blue grade component, requires 3000 units of iron ore to craft.

"Energy Shield": Yellow grade component, requires 1000 units of iron ore to craft.

"Train Ticket": White grade component, requires 100 units of iron ore to craft.

"Stunt Control Console": Yellow grade component, requires 1000 units of iron ore to craft.

"Radar Shield": Yellow grade component, requires 1000 units of iron ore to craft.

-

Among these five components, the ones offering the greatest enhancement to the train so far are——

"Energy Shield," "Stunt Control Console," and "Radar Shield."

Especially that... special skill.

After upgrading to a Level 4 train.

An additional button was added to the console, named "Train Stunt." This yellow grade component, "Stunt Control Console," had been crafted over the past three days but remained at Level 1 without any upgrades.

The Level 1 "Stunt Control Console" has a slot where one stunt can be installed. More slots become available as it levels up.

At the top left corner of the console, there is a triangular groove that looks like the hollowed-out desktop speaker. This is the stunt control console.

...

If the train has B-grade potential, crafting the "Stunt Control Console" allows you to receive a random train stunt.

If it has A-grade potential, you can choose one of two options.

If it has S-grade potential, you can choose one of three options.

His Mechanical Train has S-grade potential, but he hasn’t decided which to choose yet, and since there’s no time limit on the choice, he decided to leave it for later.

Chen Mang swiped lightly on the console screen several times, quickly bringing up this panel.

-

"The Constant Star Train is an S-grade potential Mechanical Train, allowing you to choose one of the following three train stunts."

"Train skills can only be used by the Train Captain and apply to the entire train. The maximum number of available skills is determined by the level of the Stunt Control Console."

1: Unlimited Bullets.

For ten minutes, any firepower accessories in your train that consume bullets, like heavy machine guns or cannons, will have unlimited bullets. However, you must replenish the copper ore equivalent of the consumed bullets within thirty days.

2: Doomsday Run.

For ten minutes, your train’s maximum speed will double, and during this period, any components of your train will continue to function normally even if their integrity drops to 0%.

3: Death Spin.

When your train is speeding and equipped with the "Drill" component, activating this stunt temporarily levitates the train, causing it to spin rapidly and crash into enemies with deadly force. The higher the Drill’s level, the greater the power. It’s recommended to upgrade the "built-in space stabilizer" to at least Level 5.

-

These days.

He would occasionally check the "Train Radio" since entering a new area. The Train Radio is always the quickest means to gather information, and through the conversations of others, he also learned about the existence of "Train Stunts."

These are only available on a Level 4 train.

They have a chance to drop when you clear an adventure map or kill rare bosses.
