My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 332 The Dragon King Returns! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The first time he met Xiao Lü was on "Water Blue Star". Xiao Lü was found in the engine of the Stellar Train. Later he learned that Xiao Lü had been living on Kun Ye's train.

He then ran onto his train.

And so they've stayed there until now.

Little Green has successfully reached adulthood. Although it seems to have the same temperament as a child, it cannot be ignored that Little Green is a Star-Eating Beast with S-class potential. Once it reaches adulthood, it can reach level 180.

Level 180.

It's not a very high level.

At least for a level 3 civilization, it is definitely not an impenetrable existence. One of the conditions for advancing to level 3 civilization is that the attack energy range exceeds 20,000, which means having level 200 rainbow firepower accessories.

but--

The "Star Eater" is so large in its devouring state that the level 200 Akagan Light Energy Main Cannon is like a toy in the face of its enormous size and mass, and is completely crushed.

"."

Sitting in his chair, Chen Mang looked at the broadcast from civilization on the control panel screen with a complicated expression. It was from nearly 100,000 years ago.

That is
If the Star-Eating Beast from 100,000 years ago were Little Green's father or mother, then perhaps he could understand why the Star-Eating Beast was so angry. It was naturally furious that its own cub had been lost.

However, the time span in between is too large.

Nearly 100,000 years have passed.

Has Little Green been missing for 100,000 years?

The growth of a cosmic behemoth requires not only time but also a large supply of energy. Without an energy supply, even after 100,000 years, Little Green would still be a sleeping cub, which is normal.
Ten thousand years.

Do cosmic behemoths really live that long?

so.
Chen Mang walked to the side, picked up Xiao Lü, who was curled up in the corner, and, as usual, reached out and poked at its nose with his finger: "Last time you were staring out the window, were you sensing the lingering scent of your mother?"

Little Green didn't make a sound, but groggily rubbed its head against Chen Mang's chin.

He didn't see any other Stardevourers on the radar.

Too much time has passed.

This little guy's mother may have already forgotten about Little Green, or she may have died in some corner of the universe, in some forgotten corner.

only--

There is another important issue.

He looked at the star map with a slightly strange expression. He was now wondering whether the Niya star system was originally so barren, or whether it was because Little Green's mother had come and angrily devoured the Niya star system last time, which led to its barrenness.

It should be the former.

Because the civilization in the "Niya Galaxy" has existed for 12.47 years, it is considered a Type IV civilization with an extremely long history in the universe. This civilization must have experienced the story of Little Green's mother causing chaos in the Niya Galaxy, but the specifics of what happened are unknown, and all related traces have been erased.

Next.

Throughout the day, Chen Mang did almost nothing but sit in the train compartment, browsing through the "civilized broadcasts" with Xiao Ai. There were nearly 24 broadcasts, and even if he flipped through them quickly enough, it would still take him a long time to read them all.

There are all sorts of them.

For example, those that are deeply affectionate.
-
"Level 2 Civilization, Hello Civilization": Li Xia, I love you. I want all civilizations and all living beings in the universe to know how much I love you. I can give up everything for you.
-
Only leaders of a civilization are qualified to send out civilizational broadcasts.

Obviously.

Such a deeply affectionate leader is rare in the universe. Naturally, this civilization no longer exists in the Niya star system. Perhaps love can wait until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, but civilization cannot.

They perished in a ditch long ago, no one knows in which year.

Like a stray dog ​​that has died of stench on the roadside, it is ignored by everyone.

As for Li Xia, she must have died long ago.

There are also those bursting with curiosity.
-
"Type 1 Civilization, Killua Civilization": Hey, can anyone hear me? Our civilization's cosmic coordinates are... Welcome to visit our civilization!
Logically speaking, "civilization broadcasting" should be a very serious matter, but not every civilization leader is serious. For example, this innocent and cute one. It can only be said that the speed of civilization broadcasting is not fast. Otherwise, sending cosmic coordinates to the depths of the universe in such an open and aboveboard manner would be no different from waiting to die.

In addition, there are declarations of war.
-
"Level 1 Civilization, Death Civilization": Today, having attained enlightenment, we hereby declare war on all living beings in the universe. To all civilizations receiving this broadcast, we regret to inform you that you have received a kill order from Death. The Death Civilization will soon crush your civilization and conquer the entire universe!
Perhaps because Type I civilizations have little knowledge of the universe, he found that many Type I civilizations were very arrogant, saying things that he himself dared not say.

He then searched on the galaxy map.

Unfortunately.

This civilization of death also met its demise long ago, becoming another civilization that no longer exists.

"Eh?"

at this time--

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Mang's eyes. He had seen the broadcast from the mechanical civilization, which was quite a rare thing.
-
"Level 2 Civilization, Mechanical Civilization": Let me clear my throat first, cough cough cough, hello everyone, can you hear me?
-
In his mind, "mechanical civilization" was a serious civilization, and its leader, though he had never met him, should also be serious. He just never imagined that mechanical civilization would have such a reckless leader.

It seems that what that "former leader of the mechanical civilization" did was the same thing that the owner of a diary found on that unclaimed planet in the ruins of the mechanical civilization.

That guy has a natural affinity for interacting with people from other civilizations.

They also received a highly civilized traveler.

At that time, mechanical civilization was still a level 2 civilization.

He also found the cosmic broadcasts that were automatically sent when the mechanical civilization advanced to a Type 3 civilization, and so on.

The whole process was like an archaeological excavation.
Events that occurred tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years ago were gradually revealed to him through cosmic broadcasts. Although he could not see the specific scenes, he could still vaguely outline the development history of the Niya Galaxy over the past decade through these fragmented pieces of information.

Over these 100,000 years.

The most powerful civilization to have ever emerged in this region was the "Niya Civilization," a level four civilization.

There is nothing stronger than this.

If the "Mechanical Civilization" is not wiped out, it should be the civilization with the best chance of becoming a Level 4 civilization in recent years.

This is the purpose of the "universe's only supermodel" effect.

not bad.

He thought it was quite useful.

At that moment, Xiao Ai's voice rang out inside the train: "Train conductor, the Spark Civilization has sent the miners back. Shall we begin preparations to make contact with them?"

"Let's get ready."

Chen Mang said softly.

He still has to go to the Starfire Civilization again later. He forgot to ask last time what level an S-class potential Starry Sky Beast would be compared to other civilizations in the universe.

Deep in the universe, on a mineral planet belonging to an unknown civilization.

A rather young-looking, overweight man was sitting in his room, looking at the monitor screen of his mine. After carefully scanning the screen, he took a slice of watermelon from the refrigerator, took a bite, and muttered something.

"You're really not coming?"

"So you're this easy to talk to?"

at this time--

Ring ring, ring ring.

The shrill sound of a bell rang inside the house.

The obese man wiped the watermelon stain from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve before hurriedly tapping the call notification on his wristwatch. He said urgently, "Mom, what happened? Tell me quickly!"

"My child, Mommy is fine. Mommy was just thinking about it."

"Stop talking!"

The man's voice trembled with tears as he said, "Mom, this is a long-distance call across regions, it's very expensive. I'm in the northern border region and you're in the southern border region, it costs 1 million units of iron ore per minute!"

"Besides, Mom, you stutter, so it will cost even more money!"

"It's not easy for me to earn money, Mom, can you please save some for me?"

“Coco, Mom has plenty of money. Come back. Mom has money at home. It’s all yours.”

"no!"

The man looked solemnly at the kind woman's face on the screen projected in the air and said resolutely, "My father said last time that I'm just a good-for-nothing who's just wasting my life. This time, I have to make something of myself before I can go back!"

"No need to say it!"

"And Mom, please don't call me next time, it's such a waste of money!"

"Mom is worried about you. Southern Xinjiang is undeveloped and desolate. Many strange things often happen there. I heard that the Wang family boy next door went to explore Southern Xinjiang a few days ago, and after suddenly losing his signal, he hasn't been contacted since. He's probably in grave danger."

"Alright, alright."

The young man glanced at the call time on his wristwatch and said urgently, "Mom, it's almost time. Take good care of yourself. I'm doing well here. Also, tell my father that I'm going to make something of myself and give him a good slap in the face."

Followed by.

When the call lasted 59 seconds, the man quickly hung up.

He then breathed a sigh of relief.

This call cost is too high.

Southern Xinjiang is too far from Northern Xinjiang, and it is almost deserted and undeveloped. It is a relatively chaotic area where crises such as space pirates, star explosions, and screens full of rays occur from time to time.

If it were the northern border region of a civilized society, these dangers would be detected and eliminated in advance.

But here it is.

It's basically a no-man's-land.

but--

As the saying goes, chaos often contains opportunity.

The price for contracting a mine here is extremely cheap. He calculated that if everything goes smoothly, he can earn a profit of 1000 billion once the mine is fully operational!

Then use that money to contract more mines.

Then go and contract mining stars.

Then they will contract more mining planets, gradually expanding and strengthening their business.

"Southern Frontier" is an undeveloped area. The civilization has built many wormholes leading to various regions of Southern Frontier. The mineral planets in these regions are sold off to "connections" by the children of officials.

Those privileged children of officials are too lazy to develop such projects.

With a wave of his hand, he can declare that this entire mineral planet belongs to him, and then it's all his. He doesn't need anything else; he can simply take it out and sell it for money.

Those who bought mining stars are too lazy to start mining themselves.

These people each have hundreds or thousands of mining stars, which is impossible to mine all at once. They don't want to make money from such hard work, so they subcontract these mining stars one by one to their middlemen, who then subcontract them to them.

They need to bring their own armed forces to defend against pirate raids, and they also need to bring their own mining robots to mine minerals themselves.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will almost always be profitable.

These mining planets that can be contracted out are often not in high-resource areas or on the map of civilization planning. They are just scraps that are casually taken out and sold by the children of officials. But even scraps are enough for many people to get rich!

A scrap of an advanced civilization.

It can overeat an ordinary person to death.

I can't even swallow it.

Everything was going well, but recently, a mysterious thief has been appearing at his mine and stealing a level 9 iron ore.

wrong
Describing it as theft might not be entirely accurate.

That guy didn't bother stealing the ore that the robots had mined and that had fallen to the ground. Instead, he picked up a pickaxe and dug it himself. His posture showed that he was a veteran miner who had been mining for many years. He killed him many times, but every time the time came, that guy would always respawn on time.

Untouchable.

Just like going to work.

And it's the kind of job where you don't take a vacation.

What's even stranger is that he couldn't see the guy's face at all, or even what clothes he was wearing. He could sense that it was a person, and even that it was a man.

But once he tries to focus his eyes and look more closely, his mind becomes confused, and he can't take in any information.

It will make him feel drowsy.

Even the surveillance monitors show the same thing.

Extremely weird.

The young man lay listlessly on the table. There was no internet access here; the network hadn't been laid to southern Xinjiang, and there were no signal base stations. Internet access was extremely expensive here, costing 1 million units of iron ore per minute.

He definitely won't spend that money.

Although I knew from the start that the journey ahead was destined to be lonely and solitary, actually staying here is still somewhat torturous.

But soon.

"come on!"

The young man straightened up, exuding an indomitable spirit, his eyes filled with determination. He couldn't possibly go back looking so dejected; that would surely be ridiculed to death by that old bastard. He was determined to make something of himself!

Let that old bastard know that if you could start from scratch, so can he!

He then breathed a sigh of relief, pulled a screen from his desk drawer, and started scrolling through videos to choose his entertainment for the day. Luckily, he had downloaded quite a few beforehand; watching ten a day would be enough for him for three years.

Three years later.

The Dragon King is back!

just
He looked at the remaining films with a somewhat unpleasant expression. Less than half a year had passed, and he had already watched more than half of them. What was he going to do? He was a bit of a germaphobe; he would never watch a film he had already seen again.

at this time--

The man suddenly noticed the monitor screen out of the corner of his eye, and there it was again: the "mysterious miner" who was impossible to look at directly.

"here we go again!"

The man's expression changed slightly, and he felt like cursing for a moment, but he quickly realized that although he was still carrying a pickaxe, he did not start mining as soon as he appeared. Instead, he stood still, as if waiting for something.

Could it be.
He put the tablet aside, put his pants back on, and then took out another "armed robot" controller from the drawer. Soon, an armed robot walked out from behind the house and strode towards the location where the mysterious miner had appeared on the monitor screen.

quickly!

The armed robot had already arrived in front of the "mysterious miner".

While performing micro-operations, he glanced at the mysterious man on the screen—a man whose appearance was still impossible to look at directly, his surface constantly distorted—and tried to communicate through the loudspeaker: "Hello?"

He had only seen this condition on the surface of one type of organism.

It was a colossal cosmic beast whose size expanded to an enormous size in an instant. The naked eye could not keep up with the speed of its expansion, resulting in a spacetime distortion on its surface that was difficult to look at directly.

But he never imagined that one day he could see this effect on a person.

The mysterious miner remained silent.

After a long time.

Only then did he slowly speak in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

"."

The young man was slightly taken aback, not expecting that the other party could communicate smoothly, and even used the ancient cosmic language. He knew the ancient cosmic language; it was the language that the group of second-generation officials and rich kids who usually gathered together liked to use.

To make oneself appear sophisticated.

He doesn't like hanging out with those kinds of people and never does it on ordinary days.

It felt a bit pretentious.

But he wouldn't necessarily join in. After all, his parents' family is indeed very wealthy, and if he wanted to, he could join in and even form his own little circle.

He then hurriedly cleared his throat. Although he hadn't spoken the ancient cosmic language for a long time, his muscle memory was still there.

"Hello, senior. May I ask why you have visited my humble temple so many times?"

however.

The mysterious miner fell into a long silence and did not speak for a long time.

Meanwhile, on the other side, on the Stellar train!

The miners' dreams are unfolding on the Stellar train.

How should I reply?

Xiao Ai's voice rang out from inside the train.

"and many more."

Chen Mang rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. Things had gone slightly wrong. He had originally intended to intimidate the other party with the ancient cosmic language, but now it was a bit of a stretch. The other party was using it more fluently, while he only knew a few simple words.

Then communication becomes an issue.

His miners don't speak cosmic languages.

How do we communicate?
Speak Mandarin?

"Wait a moment, call Coco's train conductor."

A few minutes later.

Coco's train conductor, the sole train conductor of the Niya civilization, entered the train compartment. Before he could even observe his surroundings, Chen Mang pulled him to a table: "I wander in the corners of the universe, trying to find my lost name. Do you know what my name is?"

"Translate this sentence into cosmic language and then write it on paper."

soon.

Without much hesitation, the middle-aged man picked up a pen and wrote a sentence on the paper. Then, the paper appeared in the miner man's hand in the dream, and the miner man handed the paper to the armed robot in front of him.

The content of Xiao Ai's dreams can be created at will.

Whether or not it can be brought into reality depends entirely on luck, and bringing it into reality requires consuming the capacity of "Dream Stones," and anything exceeding the energy of Dream Stones cannot be brought out.

just
If the other person perceives reality in the dream, then anything he creates in the dream seems like it can be directly handed to them.

However, this only applies to general items.

For example, he couldn't conjure hundreds of level 9 iron ores out of thin air and hand them to the other party; a single dream stone simply couldn't provide that much energy. "."

The young man sat in the room, staring at the contents of the note on the screen. A shiver ran through his eyes. Had he seen a ghost? Was the air conditioning in the room set too low?
Why do I feel a chill down my back?

The content of the line above is very strange.

The universe is too big.

It's normal for some messy things to happen. Right now, he doesn't want to think about anything else but to get rid of this thing as soon as possible and stop it from ruining his mine. Most importantly, he just wants it to stop ruining him; he just wants to mine, not lose his life.

He hurriedly spoke again through the megaphone, "I don't know, brother."

soon.

The other party handed over another note.

"I remember I had an enemy from a Level 6 civilization, the Kakakakaka civilization. Are you from that civilization?"

"call"

The young man breathed a sigh of relief and spoke again: "No, brother, you've got the wrong person. I'm from a level five civilization, the Nami civilization. I'm a good person."

Followed by.

The other party handed over another note.

"You're a good person, can we be friends?"

The young man was about to reply when his mouth opened and closed slightly before he suddenly froze. Could it be a cosmic opportunity? There are many opportunities in the depths of the universe; could this be one of them?

He hesitated for a moment before tentatively speaking.

"of course can."

"As a friend, could you tell me some interesting stories about your civilization?"

"Um, what kind of music do you want to hear?"

"Any type is fine, as long as it's something my friends tell me, I'll enjoy listening to it."

"Let me think... Hmm... What should I talk about? How about I tell you how my father built his business from scratch? Although I don't like him very much, I have to admit that his life story is absolutely legendary."

"I admire him for that."

"To this day, I still don't know exactly how he made his first fortune. All I know is that he suddenly earned 10 billion. My mother said it was like he accidentally entered a time rift or something. For us at the time, it was an astronomical figure. After having this money, it was as if my father suddenly had a full-fledged talent for investing."

At this moment.

In the universe within the atmosphere of this mineral-rich planet where the young man resides.

A heavily armed train is concealing itself in a "pseudo-four-dimensional" space, undetectable by any radar.

"Ugh."

Inside the train, a white-haired man with long hair was lying on the sofa, idly trimming his nails. He said lazily, "Boss, we are a famous guard team in the Nami civilization. We have participated in many large-scale civilization pioneering projects and even attacked several large level-three civilizations."

"result--"

Have we really fallen so low that we have to look after children to make a living?

"Isn't this kind of life too boring?"

The middle-aged scarred man sitting in the chair didn't even raise his head and said coldly, "The daily revenue here is more than the daily revenue of any large project we've ever participated in before. The employer is very willing to spend money. Since we've taken the money, we have to do a good job!"

"Our mission is to ensure the absolute safety of that young master on the mining planet below!"

"Even if this mining planet suddenly explodes, this young master must survive!"

"Ugh."

The white-haired man lying on the sofa spread his hands helplessly: "Of course I know, boss. I'm just a little bored. I prefer a life of fighting and killing. Watching kids is the most boring thing."

"And this guy has really unique taste."

“Other rich kids go to these remote places with a bunch of girls, but he brought a bunch of pornographic films. That’s so down-to-earth.”

"I'm curious."

"Does he even realize that even if he mines the entire mine, the profits will only be enough to hire us to stay here for one day? It's so good to have a rich dad. Why don't I have one?"

at this time--

The middle-aged man with the scarred face suddenly turned cold as he looked at the several red dots gradually approaching on the radar: "Pirates are getting close to this mining planet. Prepare to take action, but don't make too much noise."

"okay!"

Inside the wooden house.

At first, the young man was just trying to communicate, but as they talked, he opened up and excitedly began to tell interesting stories he knew.

He hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time.

I couldn't hold it in any longer.

After a long time.

The young man stopped, still seemingly unsatisfied: "And you, have you experienced any interesting stories before?"

"I once saw a gigantic cosmic beast."

"How big is it?"

"Its length is 2.5 light-years."

"Impossible, it's impossible for such a huge cosmic beast to appear. This is simply unreasonable." The young man subconsciously shook his head in rebuttal.

"I really saw it."

The other party not only handed over a note, but also a photograph, which showed the blurry outline of a giant star beast.

The young man glanced at the photo, finding it extremely difficult to determine the exact size from the picture alone, as there was no reference point. After hesitating for a moment, he accepted it as true: "Okay, I believe you."

Perhaps it really does exist.

Although he had never seen it, there were countless things in the universe that he had never seen.

"Anything else interesting?"

"I want to hear your opinion."

"Okay then."

After a moment of contemplation, the young man seemed to suddenly remember something and said in a somewhat dejected voice, "Let me tell you a secret. I've never told anyone before, but since we're friends now, I'll tell you."

Do you know how much my father is worth?

“I think he must have at least a billion dollars in assets, maybe more. He never flaunts his wealth and tries to keep a low profile as much as possible in public. Do you know why I admire my father for building his fortune from scratch?”

"Because our 'Nami Civilization' has such a rigid class system, it's impossible to break through class barriers unless you explore uncharted territories."

"I once sneaked into my father's study when I was a child."

“At that time, my father had just started his business and was so busy that he had no time to spend with me. I was too young to understand the adult world and was just angry that my father didn’t spend more time playing with me.”

"And my father never let me into his study."

"I was thinking, could I find a way to get my father to take a day off from work and spend the day playing with me?"

"After entering the study."

"I saw a telescope. It could see very far. After I found it, I played with it for a while and secretly took it back to my bedroom."

"When my father returned, he found that the telescope was missing."

"Very angry."

"Or rather, I was insane. I had never seen my father like that before. I was terrified and hid in the room, too scared to make a sound."

"Although my mother didn't know why my father was so angry about losing a pair of binoculars, she still advised him to call the police."

“My father did not call the police. After venting his anger, he locked himself in his study and did not come out for three days. After that, he never mentioned the incident again, as if it had never happened.”

"But when I grew up, I found out that the telescope was actually a level 10, a type of train accessory."

"I only just realized how extravagant that little toy was. A level 10 telescope requires 8 Murphy stones."

"I have never dared to tell my father about this."

"Do you still have that telescope with you?"

The obese young man, who was talking to himself in a somewhat dejected voice, looked at the note that the other party had handed him again and subconsciously said, "I've been keeping it hidden with me all this time."

"Can I take a look?"

The young man hesitated for a moment before saying, "Of course."

He then took out a pair of binoculars from the drawer, strode out of the cabin, and soon saw the "mysterious traveler" with his own eyes. This was the first time he had seen the mysterious traveler with his naked eyes. After hesitating for a while, he stepped forward and handed over the binoculars.

"This is it."

"."

Inside the cabin of the Stellar train.

Chen Mang remained silent for a long time, his expression blank, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the level 10 telescope on the screen.

A long, long time ago.

Back on Earth.

In the ruins of a city, he encountered a time rift. It was the first time he had ever encountered a time rift. At that time, Doba even went inside to explore it himself. When he first started his experiment, he threw a level 10 telescope that he had just upgraded into that time rift.

The telescope in front of him is exactly the same as the one he threw in back then.

They have the same shape.

The levels are the same.

The only uncertainty is whether this telescope is the one he threw out.

But he felt it was possible.

After all, in theory, the mine formed by the "Dream Stone" is completely random and concrete. Why would someone keep running to this person's mine for more than ten consecutive days? This person must have some connection with the Stellar Train.

It now seems that this telescope is the connection.

at this time--

The image on the screen suddenly began to shake violently.

Xiao Ai's voice soon rang out in the train.

"Train conductor, the miner suddenly had a violent emotional reaction, and his dream was interrupted."

"Huh? Huh?! Huh!!!"

The obese young man standing on the mine looked at the mysterious traveler who was rapidly disappearing in front of him and hurriedly called out a few times. However, the traveler who had just become his friend vanished in the blink of an eye.

Only the telescope remained, lying on the ground.

The young man picked up the binoculars that had fallen to the ground, looking at the scene before him with a bewildered expression: "Didn't they even say goodbye before leaving?"

"Didn't we agree to be friends?"

He then carefully picked up the telescope from the ground. With his current financial resources, a level 10 telescope wasn't worth much, unlike a level 20 one, which was valuable mainly because it was prohibited from sale and manufacture. If it weren't for that reason, it wouldn't be worth much either.

But he stole it from his father's study.

When I was little.

He sleeps with this telescope in his arms every night, just like he would with his father.

He also planned to tell his father everything after he had his own career one day, otherwise he would always feel like there was something stuck in his heart.

And at this time——

Interior of the Stellar train.

Chen Mang frowned as he looked at the man in front of him, whose eyes held a hint of fear. This man was the miner from earlier. He suddenly realized something: the telescope and the train shouldn't be connected.

It's likely that the telescope was connected to the miner.

Otherwise, why wouldn't other miners go to that mine, but only this miner can keep going to that mine?

"Mr. Mangmang."

The man standing there spoke in a trembling voice, "That telescope used to be mine, but one day it suddenly disappeared. I searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it."

He had been listening in the background, but upon seeing the telescope, his emotions suddenly shifted drastically, causing his dream to collapse.

“I will tell you the whole story from beginning to end.”

"it is good."

After taking a deep breath, the man lowered his head and said hoarsely, "In the apocalypse, I was a train conductor. Of course, after civilization was unified, all train conductors returned to civilian life, and I also joined the Stellar train and became a cyber miner."

"That was back in the Zombie Basin. Actually, I'd already met you, Boss Mang. At that time, a train called 'Mang Niu' had issued a bounty on you. Anyone who sent him your train's coordinates would receive a reward."

"I spotted your train and told him your coordinates."

"Ah."

Chen Mang nodded slightly, quickly searching his memory for this part of history. Although the name "Mangniu" sounded somewhat unfamiliar, he still remembered it; he recalled that such an event had occurred.

"continue."

"The reason I wasn't detected by your train radar back then was because I was too far away and outside your radar range, so I used that level 10 telescope to observe it."

"Wait, I need to interrupt here."

Chen Mang said softly, "I remember now. Before the Mangniu arrived, there was indeed a train lying in the distance. But you were within my radar range at the time, and I was just too lazy to pay attention to you."

The man paused for a moment before continuing, "I found my telescope in a junkyard in an adventure map. I was quite curious at the time who would upgrade a telescope accessory to level 10 and then leave it in the junkyard."

"I used that telescope for a long time after that, and it worked very well."

"It just suddenly disappeared one day."

"Never found it again."

"etc."

Chen Mang frowned, summoned Doba, and then said, "Doba, compare the adventure map you saw in the time rift that day with his, and see if the map you're talking about is the same adventure map."

ten minutes later.

"call"

Chen Mang let out a long breath and gently rubbed his temples. The matter was now very clear: the telescope that this guy picked up was the same telescope that he had thrown into the time rift.

just
The timeline doesn't quite match up.

This guy was being observed with binoculars when he was in the yellow zone, "Zombie Basin," and he dropped the binoculars in the purple zone, "Stone Man Zone," in Qiu City.

That is to say-

He hasn't even lost it yet, and this guy is already using it.

He simply threw the binoculars at it.

That time rift leads to a "map of adventures" in the past, and the time span won't be too long, probably only a month or two.

The matter is quite clear.

But he never expected that the time rift would lead to the past.

Even so, how did this telescope end up in that guy's hands?

"Think carefully about how you lost your binoculars. Before you lost them, what did you use them for? Think carefully."

"I"

The man stood there for a long time before speaking in a low voice: "The last time I saw him was shortly after I left the Zombie Basin. I used him before going to bed that night, and when I came back the next morning, he was gone."

"Are there surveillance cameras inside the train?"

"Yes, but the surveillance camera didn't capture anything. The camera clearly showed that I put it in the drawer before I went to sleep, but when I woke up, I couldn't find it anywhere in the drawer, no matter how many times I looked at it."

"I thought it might be haunted, so I stopped paying attention to it."

"That's not right, is it?" Old Pig, who was standing to the side, said with some strangeness, "You feel that such a big thing as a ghost story is going to be ignored?"

"Well, considering the circumstances at the time, a ghost story didn't seem like a big deal."

He leaned back in his chair, let out a long sigh, and said softly, "There's just too much mess in the universe."
