System: My Doomsday Train Chapter 987 371: Let's Call Him Chen Jiufa

"..."

Chen Mang's eyes narrowed faintly, and he stayed silent. Right now, the biggest problem lies in the uncertain count of species talents across the universe. After all, apart from the Human Race, nearly every other race possesses a distinctive talent.

Suppose the universe holds a thousand distinct species talents.

In that case, with a one-in-a-thousand probability, it would require 200 billion units of iron ore.

Multiply by ten, and that jumps to two trillion units of iron ore.

Multiply by a hundred, reaching 20 trillion units of iron ore.

Multiply by a thousand, hitting 200 trillion units of iron ore—which converts to merely 0.02 foundation units of iron ore.

To the present Constant Star Train, this amount is merely a tiny fraction.

Relative to the potential rewards, it's practically a free operation.

Just 0.02 foundation units of iron ore suffice for a million individuals to activate a level 500 panel and randomly secure a species talent. Though uncertain, Chen Mang figures there can't be a million unique species talents in the universe.

Success in drawing one is definitely feasible.

"Let's do it this way."

After a brief contemplation, Chen Mang gave a nod, "Produce a million level 500 equipment and distribute them. Inform these people that if anyone among them acquires the 'Star Arrow Race' talent, they will be sent to lead the Rough Civilization, far from home."

"Yes."

"By the way, have Ji Chuchu and Yan Yao come over."

...

Having settled the issue preliminarily, Chen Mang gazed pensively at the "Doppler Radar" display. The Rough Civilization's territory stretches across about several hundred million light-years.

Such an expansive territory is already impressive.

At present, the whole First Cosmos keeps expanding endlessly. The universe constantly enlarges, yet recent data shows its diameter at roughly 400 billion light-years.

The universe's scale is immense.

But it doesn't feel overwhelmingly huge.

Naturally, the true extent of the universe exceeds these figures.

In this 400 billion light-year-wide universe, multiple divine-level civilizations have carved it up. Countless lesser civilizations thrive in their territories, alongside vast "Cosmic Voids" and cosmic phenomena.

And this 400 billion light-year universe.

Represents his ultimate goal.

The 10,000-level mechanical train segment marks his destination.

It signifies the end of his interdimensional odyssey.

"..."

Chen Mang stared blankly at the train interface. For ages, he hadn't dwelled on his transmigration to this world. Despite mere years elapsed, it seemed like eons, as if he'd endured another existence entirely.

Without those ingrained recollections, he might dismiss his past life as mere illusion.

Upon achieving divine-level civilization status.

His top priority will be scouring the universe for "Blue Star".

He's intensely eager to discover if his original Blue Star resides in the First Cosmos. Finding it would thrill him, allowing a train return to enlighten his former world's people.

Only now.

Has he grasped the utter hopelessness of that former "Blue Star." No nearby habitable worlds, no societies, not even a lone mining outpost—total seclusion, devoid of any resources.

Originating from such desolation.

Even possessing an elite train, escaping via wormhole proves unfeasible, lacking vital resources nearby to sustain it.

Around Blue Star...

It was utterly destitute.

The destitution was tear-jerkingly dire.

Right at that moment—

Ji Chuchu and Yan Yao stepped into the train chamber, greeting Chen Mang softly together: "Master Mang."

"Mmm."

Chen Mang swiveled his chair toward the group behind him, "Last time, when I asked both of you to awaken your species talents, what talents did you awaken?"

During that episode with Fang's "Future State," "Past State," and "Present State" effects, which captivated him, he got swept up in the thrill and casually offered Ji Chuchu and Yan Yao equipment too.

He'd overlooked it since.

Without this reminder, it might have slipped his mind completely.

Sharing a quick look, Ji Chuchu and Yan Yao spoke hesitantly, "Master Mang, both of our awakened talents are from the same species, the 'Fox Charm Race' talent, 'Transform Three Purities.'

"The effect is the ability to simultaneously summon one's Past State and Future State."

"..."

Chen Mang kept quiet for an extended period, face impassive, before murmuring softly, "Quite good."

Did Fang, Ji Chuchu, and Yan Yao truly all luck into the identical species talent by chance?

Doubt gnawed at him.

This seemed too contrived.

Fang might possess genuine fortune, yet these two surely didn't rely on luck alone—they had to glean a trick from Fang for matching talents.

Though unspoken.

Mentally, he directed Ai to probe the duo's circumstances, uncovering why they mirrored Fang's talent.

Quickly, a response came. Ai's scan revealed nothing amiss; it was purely random chance.

"It really is..."

With that confirmed.

Chen Mang lifted his eyelids marginally, "Call Fang in too."

...

Fifteen minutes passed.

In the Constant Star train chamber, bathed in moody, intimate lights, nine figures sprawled across the bed—Fang, Ji Chuchu, plus Yan Yao's Past States, Future States, and Present States.
