CHAPTER 282: CHAPTER 181: ’MECHANICAL TRAIN ACCESSORIES STORE.

"Ahem."

Noticing Biaozi’s disappointment, Mountain Cat followed and lightly coughed before comforting, "Biao, you don’t need to be too disheartened; both of them are in our team. On the Fixed Star, there are only three people who can drive the Thunderbolt Mecha."

"Our team has two of them."

"This makes our team even stronger, doesn’t it?"

"..."

Biao looked at Mountain Cat with eyes full of grievance, "No need to state the obvious, did you think I didn’t know?"

He then strode toward the "Combat Training Virtual Space." He wanted to continue training, though there were only two maps, and even if he cleared all, there was a limit. If only there were two more Map Chips, his potential space would increase.

But he knew as well.

Items like Map Chips are extremely rare. Many trains don’t have a single one, and the Fixed Star having two is already due to Master Mang’s capabilities. Acquiring a third is not that easy.

In the short term, he couldn’t quickly increase the limit of his Physical Comprehensive Quality.

This also meant that, in the short term, he had no chance with the "Thunderbolt" Mecha.

Could he not feel aggrieved?

He was absolutely aggrieved, feeling like he was turning into Lin Daiyu.

...

"Is there a reaction already?"

Inside the Constant Star Train compartment, Chen Mang looked at the "Admission Ticket" flashing red beneath the intercom. It was something he exchanged using Murphy Stone on the Train Radio some time ago.

-

"Special Tool": Neon City Entry Ticket.

"Item Effect": Adventure Map ’Neon City’ Admission Ticket. When this ticket emits red light, crush it to enter this Adventure Map.

-

Now, there was finally a reaction, continuously flashing with red light.

The flashing speed was slowing down, estimated to completely extinguish in a minute. If it wasn’t crushed within a minute, this opportunity would be missed.

He immediately crushed it.

Soon, a panel popped up in front of him.

"Adventure Map, Neon City."

"The train cannot enter, a maximum of 11 people can enter. The Train Captain must select 10 Train Members to accompany them, the Train Captain must go."

"The train can’t go in?"

Chen Mang picked up the intercom and contacted Ai, "Have the 9 members of the first guard team and Li Shiji come to the train compartment. While I’m away, you have full access to all Firepower Accessories and resource mobilization rights. If any train approaches, fire a single warning, and if they do not heed, fire directly."

"If you can’t handle it, take the residents and leave first."

At this moment, the "Admission Ticket" had turned into countless light dots, forming a Teleportation Gate beside him. When he returned from the Adventure Map, he would also return to the train compartment.

Soon —

The 9 members of the first guard team and Li Shiji had all arrived, fully armed, especially with Biaozi looking deeply relieved. Fortunately, he had just entered the Combat Training Virtual Space and hadn’t entered the map yet; otherwise, he would have missed this expedition.

Such a good opportunity for meritorious service would’ve been lost.

"This Adventure Map is unknown, so everyone please stay safe."

Chen Mang brought all available special tools and even instructed Zhang Yi to carry a refrigerator, which was filled with plenty of supplies like food and water, along with 15 off-road motorcycles.

Following that.

Biaozi was the first to strut into the Teleportation Gate, followed by the guards entering one after another.

...

After passing through the Teleportation Gate.

The scenery ahead instantly opened up, giving a sense of entering the Peach Blossom Spring. Behind the Teleportation Gate was a square located in the center of a bustling city, standing nearly 1,000 people.

The square was surrounded by an air wall.

Suspended above the square was a light screen, introducing the rules of this Adventure Map.

-

"Adventure Map, Neon City."

"This map prohibits mutual attacks; there are no offensive projects. It’s an entertainment-themed Adventure Map."

"Built by the ’Mechanical Civilization,’ this Eden city’s sole purpose is relaxation."

"However..."

"It’s been a long time since anyone came to this city to seek relaxation. It’s also been a while since the city received a visit from its masters."

"If you feel tired in the Doomsday, come here to unwind."

"This city is not only for relaxation but also hides many adventures, awaiting your exploration."

"The maximum stay is 48 hours."

"Go ahead, taste the forbidden fruit."

-

Chen Mang quickly absorbed all the information from the light screen overhead, then surveyed his surroundings. Around a thousand people quietly conversed, creating a noisy setting, clearly all Train Captains.

Assuming each Train Captain could bring along 10 Train Members,

there were about 100 Train Captains here.

He squinted slightly, observing the city. Everyone’s spawn point was in the city center’s square, resembling the mechanical cities he had visited, though the skyscrapers weren’t that cold, black color now.

There wasn’t that oppressive feeling anymore.

Wonderful.

It seems the Mechanical Civilization isn’t all about suppression.

Just...

All the buildings were colored with dopamine: blue, purple, green, red, all kinds of colors. With those neon lights that could definitely be considered light pollution, the whole city appeared colorful, like non-mainstream hair color.

All the billboards and exterior lights on buildings were constantly lit.

You could even hear music playing on the street.

But no pedestrians were visible on the streets.
