CHAPTER 165: CHAPTER 123: "YOU... AREN’T YOU THAT JI... JI CHUCHU?

Inside Carriage No. 5.

After taking Yan Yao away, Old Pig walked in and looked at Ji Chuchu sitting by the bed with a gentle smile: "Looks like it didn’t work out? Wasn’t your promise to Master Mang different?"

"Don’t mess it up in the end and bring trouble upon yourself."

He naturally saw through Ji Chuchu’s intentions, understanding that he had no upper limit to use, trying to leverage Yan Yao to elevate his status on the train, but it seemed like the progress wasn’t going smoothly.

"It’s a bit troublesome."

Ji Chuchu shook her head and glanced out the window: "She hasn’t experienced Doomsday, her mindset hasn’t shifted yet. Give her some time, she’ll naturally understand."

Old Pig nodded: "Just handle it well, don’t make things unpleasant. If she’s truly unwilling, don’t force it; let her mine, that’s enough. Master Mang doesn’t like such disorderly matters, you get what I mean?"

"Yes, I understand, Pig Train Captain."

"Alright." Old Pig said nothing more and immediately turned to walk out of the carriage. It was just a minor episode; since Yan Yao was brought into the carriage, Master Mang hadn’t cared, seemingly indifferent, as if her presence made no difference.

If obedient, keep her; if not, treat her like any other resident.

Let her mine if needed, and sell meat if required.

...

Soon, daylight broke.

The bald man in the "Azure Dragon Train" switched to the Wind-Fire Wheel, speeding quickly toward the coordinates. The Bunny Cloud consumed quite a bit of energy, flying in the Kunlun Mountain area due to the challenging terrain, and being in the air was safer.

But on the Shahe Plain, flying in the air when you can use the Wind-Fire Wheel would be purely idiotic, no matter how wealthy you are.

However...

As they saw they were only a few minutes away from the coordinates, the Azure Dragon Train slowly came to a halt, extending several mechanical arms from the sides of the carriage, changing the wheels to Bunny Cloud in just a minute.

Then, as the nitrogen tail spray on both sides of the carriage ignited, the train shot forward suddenly, flying through the air directly towards the coordinates!

Not long after.

He saw the Constant Star Train parked near the coordinates and chuckled before slowly controlling the train to land in front of it, sticking his head out the window and waving.

"Hey, brother! It’s me!"

...

...

Chen Mang looked expressionlessly at the train that landed in front of him. His Target Detection Radar had already been upgraded to level 15, with a detection range of 15,000 meters, and he had long seen the Azure Dragon Train on the Target Detection Radar.

At more than 10,000 meters away, it was still running on the ground.

After stopping for a minute, it flew over.

It’s apparent.

Bunny Cloud should consume quite a bit of energy.

However, he didn’t expose it, just sighed lightly; this guy has such a childish nature. This is Doomsday, are you playing house?

He also rolled down the window, stuck his head out to size up the Azure Dragon Train.

"I’ve heard of you, nice train."

"It’s decent." The bald man said cheerfully: "Level 5 train, 22 carriages, over 600 slaves. Shall we set off now? I’ll lead the way up front? My train is pretty fast, on flat ground it can top 500; I’ll go slower."

"Just over 300."

"Alright."

...

The two didn’t disembark but chatted briefly with their heads out of the train’s windows.

This was their first meeting, after all.

The Azure Dragon Train Captain wasn’t inclined to get off the train and chat alone either; most of the Train Captain’s strategies stemmed from the train. Once leaving the train, the risk greatly increased, though Chen Mang didn’t have much objection; he did have the "Hell Staff" for remote train control.

But...

Still, there’s danger, bullets aren’t slow.

The two trains sped east on the Shahe Plain, opposite to the Kunlun Mountain area, which was in the west, while the Heaven-Reaching Tower was in the east.

About three hours later.

The Azure Dragon Train gradually slowed down and stopped before a Heaven-Reaching Tower.

"We’re here, have to wait a while."

Chen Mang glanced at the message from the Azure Dragon Train Captain on the Train Radio, feeling a bit awed by the scene before him. The tower appeared to be a hundred meters wide in diameter, looking like a huge electricity pole.

Just that, it had more of a sci-fi vibe.

The surface was transparent, revealing various gears of different shapes turning inside, some with diameters spanning several tens of meters rotating slowly, while others only a few centimeters wide spinning rapidly.

Looking up.

The higher it went, the narrower the diameter of the column got, until it was only ten meters wide at the top, with a massive platform above, its structure resembling an exaggerated Enoki mushroom.

This surely wasn’t a product from before Doomsday.

Before this Heaven-Reaching Tower, there was a huge light curtain resembling a regional boundary.

-

"Adventure Map, Heaven-Reaching Tower."

"Countdown to official opening, 01:10:29."

"Up to 8 trains can ascend to participate, limited to trains Level 5 and below."

"Trains and members within the yellow waiting area cannot attack each other."

-

"Brother!"

The Azure Dragon Train Captain, now accompanied by his confidants, had already jumped off the train, pointing to the yellow circle in the distance, signaling: "We’re in the yellow waiting area, it’s safe here, you can come down."

"Let’s go." Chen Mang picked up the walkie-talkie and whispered: "Old Pig, tell Biaozi to come down together."
