The train showed no sign of opening its doors, and the passengers' excitement gradually cooled.
They were shocked when they saw the frigates arrayed outside the train.
"What's going on?"
"Who are we going to go to war with?"
"It seems the number of train escorts has increased a lot. It's outrageous."
At this time, the train issued an announcement to everyone.
[This train is threatened by a hostile train. War may break out. Please fasten your seat belts.]
After the announcement, the whole car was in an uproar.
"Are the other trains also from Purple Star?"
"I said it was a hostile train, how could it be from Purple Star?"
"Why doesn't the train conductor assign us a mission? We can also go out and fight."
"Going into battle in a cargo ship? What are you thinking? One of their frigates can destroy a bunch of you."
There was a lot of noise in the carriage, but Chen An in the cockpit was very calm.
The reason for telling the passengers is to remind them how difficult their life is.
Don't think you are safe staying on the train. Anyone can die at any time.
This way, passengers will work harder to scavenge... and collect resources.
"Fuyao, broadcast the entire war live and accompaniment it with tragic music."
[Do you want to issue the ultimate mission? ]
When Chen An saw the content of the task provided by Fuyao, the corners of his mouth twitched.
[Ultimate Mission: All passengers, please join the train in fighting the invading enemy. If you defeat the enemy, the top 100 contributors will be awarded the title of 'Train Guardian'. Note: Donating Star Coins to support the train will be counted as Contribution Points.]
"They have no other way to join the war except donating star coins. I suddenly realized that compared to you, Fuyao, I am actually a great philanthropist."
[If the owner doesn't like it, this task does not need to be published]
"Publish it, of course I have to. Some rich women have too much money, so it's only right for me to plunder a little bit."
The ultimate mission was just a joke and Chen An didn't take it seriously.
But the passengers took it seriously.
Their lives are tied to the train, and if the train is destroyed, they will also be reduced to ashes.
By then, Star Coins will be just a string of data and will be worthless.
As a result, passengers rushed to donate, and the amount quickly soared.
Chen An: "They are much more innocent than me. I am such a profiteer. Keep these star coins. I will put them into the reward pool for the main quest next time. I will return them to them eventually."
Star coins are just data. Chen An has the absolute right of interpretation, and he cannot really squeeze the passengers dry.
Beep beep beep!
An external signal alert appeared on the control panel screen, indicating that it was from the dog-headed man's train.
"Connect the signal and simultaneously decipher the other party's language."
After a while, the other person's image appeared on the screen, making Chen An's heart tighten.
The dog-headed man's appearance was so unrestrained that it had a particularly strong impact on Chen An's little heart.
If possible, he would like to turn off the video and make a voice call.
At the same time, Gusta was also shocked. The creature opposite was ugly to the core of his soul.
Why are the eyes sideways like this?
Why are there so many hairs? Wouldn’t it be disgusting to death if there were bugs?
What's the difference between having no fangs in your mouth and being a waste?
The most important thing is that the other party was wearing strange fur, which looked to be of inferior quality and far inferior to the animal skins worn by them, the gnolls.
Feeling very superior, Gusta stroked the dry, wind-burned hair on his head and asked, "Where are you from? Where are you going?"
Chen An replied subconsciously: "I came from the Tang Dynasty in the East and am going to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures."
Although I don't know how the dog-headed man translated this sentence, from his expression, it seems that he believed it very much.
Before Chen An could ask, Gusta explained himself: "I'm from Hound Star. My name is Gusta. Nice to meet you."
The names "dog" and "dog-headed man" are not the other party's own, but are the result of Fuyao's translation to match Zixing.
The pronunciation of the person on the other end was very strange, sometimes dull and sometimes sharp. The sound seemed to be sprayed out from the nasal cavity, giving people a sense of urgency as if the words were rushed to the throat and had to come out.
Chen An chatted with him enthusiastically for a few minutes and was about to sit down and drink and become sworn brothers.
Gusta said cheerfully, "In that case, perhaps we can travel together. Brother, have you detected the death train over there? Actually, I discovered it a long time ago, but I never had the time to go there."
He was talking nonsense, but Chen An didn't expose him and tried his best to cooperate with him.
"I just arrived here a short time ago and sent some robots to investigate. They were all junk. I'm not interested."
"You haven't been there yourself?"
"Why would I go? What if there's danger? As a train conductor, saving lives is my top priority. Nothing else matters."
Gusta was ecstatic in his heart, but his facial expression remained unchanged, even becoming gentler.
"Haha, brother, you're right. A junked train is worthless. That's why I haven't been there for several days. But I'm short of materials recently, and that train might have some, so I want some. Can you give it to me?"
Chen An didn't care at all and curled his lips: "That's an ownerless thing. If you want it, go and take it. By the way, there seem to be only two life stars in the galaxy. Can you give me one, brother?"
This statement completely dispelled Gusta's suspicions. He laughed heartily, "Brother, what are you talking about? Since you've given me the Death Train, of course I have to give you half of its resources. I'll have my men withdraw in a moment, and you can come over anytime."
Chen Anxi said: "Brother, you are so kind. We can get together and talk tomorrow. Maybe we can have more cooperation in the future."
Gusta: "Good idea, we can even trade with each other. I have a lot of resources here that I don't need."
If it is not used, it will definitely be a waste. After all, the resources required by both sides' trains are similar.
Chen An chuckled a few times, said a few perfunctory words, then turned off the screen and interrupted the signal.
The smile on his face faded and he returned to a serious expression.
"Fuyao, can I get an award for my acting?"
[Congratulations to the host for winning the Best Performance Award on Fuyao Train]
"Why is it called the Fuyao Train? Well, that's fine, it has to have a name. Let's wait a little longer and see if the enemy turns their attention to the Death Train. If so, we'll quickly turn around and rush towards the star. The frigates will stay where they are to confuse the enemy. At the train's top speed, there's no way Gesta will have time to react."
In the dog-headed man train, Gusta spat twice with a cold face.
"You piece of shit, you want to work with me? I don't care what you look like."
"The fleet will immediately head for the Death Train and take complete control of it. Once it's safe, I'll personally go there in a spaceship. Once we get the core, we'll turn and attack the Tang people."
The intelligent computer gave a reminder: "Don't worry, what if the other party runs away? We need to see what new abilities the train will gain. If the abilities are not good enough, I don't recommend turning against it."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Move the train as close to the opposite side as possible to reduce the distance between us and the death train."
However, he didn't know that this would make it easier for Chen An to launch an attack.
