The crisp and mechanical voice of the AI echoed in his ears.
"Mom can’t tell the difference either."
The final 30-second countdown was nearing its end. The bald man, whose nerves were about to snap, knelt on the ground as if resigned to his fate, slowly straightened up, and looked at the dozens of refrigerators in front of him with eyes full of despair, suddenly bursting into a tragic laugh.
The robot suddenly fell to the ground as if losing control as the countdown ended.
The man’s consciousness was also drawn away at that moment.
Chen Mang, who witnessed all this from the control room, didn’t have time to feel anything before seeing this scene. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned out to look at the sky outside, with no drone approaching.
Has this robot become his trophy?
He immediately picked up the intercom.
"Old Pig, get Li Shiji to dismantle this maze, neatly store all the refrigerators into one, then bring out that robot."
The voice of Old Pig soon came through the intercom.
As they say, only the person who tied the bell on the tiger can untie it. Only Li Shiji could dismantle this maze. If someone else went in, let alone dismantling the maze, it was good enough not to be dismantled by the maze itself.
This batch of refrigerators cost him 480,000 units of iron ore!
Now it seems, it was all worth it.
Even if this batch of refrigerators is sent to the "Earth Core Melting Furnace" for recycling, he could almost recover half the cost. However, he planned to recycle the regular refrigerators while keeping the Level 10 ones for potential use; it would be a waste to recycle them. In the future, they could be used as storage boxes or single residences for residents.
One hundred square meters, not small.
A perfectly squared, zero ’blank’ space: nothing like in the previous world where real estate developers’ ’zero blank’ space included balcony and terrace areas. By placing small refrigerators, single beds, and some collected daily necessities for Doomsday, it could be considered a warm little house.
The consciousness of the bald man returned to the "Azure Dragon", leaning listlessly in his chair, his eyes dull as he stared far off, like someone who’s lost their soul.
He didn’t know how much time had passed.
The bald man finally came back to his senses, looking at the lines on the screen that he always avoided facing.
"But you are the first Train Captain to reach the Undersea Maze. In view of your courage and spirit of exploration, you can still receive a consolation prize."
The bald man looked at these two lines of text, and a badge-like object that appeared on the control panel at some unknown point. His eyes gradually lit up, he shook his head and reached out to pick up the badge, resignedly shaking his head with a wry smile.
"At least there’s a consolation prize."
However, the next moment——
When he held the badge in his hand, a panel floated in front of him.
"Special Tool": Hero’s Badge.
"Item Effect": When wearing this badge, it will calm your fears in desperate situations, filling you with courage.
After remaining silent for a long time, the bald man casually tossed the badge onto the table, exasperated. What’s the use of this damn tool!
When he’s truly desperate, does he need courage?
He needed that damn solution!!!
In a daze, he turned his head to look at a refrigerator in the corner of the train room, a white component among the 17 train components that a Level 1 train can craft, which can be upgraded to Level 2. He had crafted several and placed them in the train.
Although he had not upgraded the refrigerator to a stage with Supermodel Effect, he could roughly guess.
The Level 5 or Level 10 Supermodel Effect of a refrigerator was likely a space of one hundred square meters. It wasn’t hard to guess; it also made sense to upgrade from a refrigerator to a freezer.
This was a refrigerator! A single component!
Upgrading one refrigerator to Level 10 didn’t mean all other refrigerators would also be upgraded to Level 10. He saw at least seventy or eighty refrigerators with such large spaces. How many Murphy Stones would this consume?!
How is it possible for anyone to gain so many Murphy Stones?!
Does this make sense?
"Murphy Stone", a special tool that can break through level caps. Of course, even if a Murphy Stone is used, the resources needed for the upgrade still have to be paid. In higher-level areas, he didn’t know, but he knew it was exceptionally rare in the green zone!
Otherwise, in the Shahe Plain, the "Supermodel Effect Quantity Leaderboard" wouldn’t be so competitive. The gap from the first to the one-hundredth basically wasn’t that great. Only yellow-grade Vehicle Accessories could be upgraded to Level 5 to produce Supermodel Effects.
Everyone basically had a similar quantity of yellow-grade accessories.
There wouldn’t be a case where...
The bald man suddenly straightened up, a thought quickly flashed through his mind, and disbelief shone in his eyes. He had once seen a Level 2 train in the "Kunlun Mountain" area. At that time, the Level 2 train profoundly shocked him, as it could move freely on almost 90-degree cliff faces!
At the time, he wondered whether the person used a lot of Murphy Stones to upgrade the "Spider Leg" component to a sufficiently high level.
He thought it might be a relative of some big shot.
But thinking about it, it seemed unrealistic. That’s "Murphy Stone" we’re talking about. What kind of big shot would use such resources to help their relative? Even for their own child, it wouldn’t be acceptable. It would be safer just to let the relatives and children stay in their own train, wouldn’t it?
