System: My Doomsday Train Chapter 999 377: Virtual MMORPG "New Cosmos

Having completed the instructions.

Chen Mang settled into the train compartment, pausing the ongoing fixed stars collection task because its efficiency was simply too poor; lacking a mighty magnet's help, it would consume endless time.

Even should the mighty magnet prove useless, an alternative approach would be essential.

Random gathering would never cut it.

His eyes turned to the newly gained civilization wonder shown on the train's screen.

"New Cosmos".

Humanity's fifth civilization wonder, unlocked by maxing the "Gate of Space". Like the others, it resided in carriage 13, manifesting directly within the train, where he positioned it.

Prior four wonders were—

"Insect Silence", "Divine Silence", "Miracle Descent", "One Finger".

Hovering in carriage 13's air, it formed a galaxy resemblance with innumerable dim light specks, akin to a 3D space projection, visually striking and ideal as a showcase.

Its function:

-

"Special wonder: Every planet gathered in the train lights up a point on this civilization wonder for its possessor."

-

"Oh?"

A subtle arch of Chen Mang's brows revealed faint surprise in his gaze; moments ago, he'd observed how "New Cosmos" in carriage 13 had certain spots brighter, activated by collected planets aboard.

Intriguing.

Such a linked mechanism was unforeseen.

With the "Powerful Magnet" drawing planets at random, he'd gain vast fixed stars while fully lighting this wonder. What rewards might full activation bring?

He now awaited only the powerful magnet accessory's original blueprint.

The burden passed to Qi Kexiu.

Thereafter, his attention shifted to the fresh panel on the train control screen.

-

"Human Civilization, Civilization Empowerment: Each Cosmic Rules-recognized civilization wonder yields a random mysterious reward box, max nine." (Colorful)

"Human Civilization forged a Cosmic Rules-recognized civilization wonder, cosmos-designated 'New Cosmos'.

"Random mysterious reward box obtained successfully."

-

Time to claim yet another box.

His fifth in total.

Penultimate was cigarettes, latest a lighter—what now?

A tavern maybe?

As Chen Mang pondered aloud inwardly, he unlatched the table's box, freezing in speechless stupor at its reveal: a beer bottle.

Alcohol indeed?

Mind-reading powers?

He lifted the unmarked beer bottle, fiddling with it. A civilization-oriented special tool, as were all box rewards—civilization-focused, seldom individual.

Against civilization's might, personal strength pales.

-

"Item Effect": Enact a 'Prohibition Order' in your civilization with over 90% real enforcement, and every ten years, an elixir drop forms in the bottle. Drink for cosmic immortality empowerment, defying natural death.

Lift the Order or enforcement drops under 90%, tool deactivates, stripping immortality from all consumers.

-

"Interesting..."

Chen Mang pondered the effect deeply. Immortality elixir held little draw for him, but the policy-linked tool could profoundly shift civilization's path.

"Train Captain, should human civilization enact Prohibition?"

"No need."

Chen Mang gestured dismissal; he held no great fondness for alcohol, yet celebrations craved it—no finer option existed. Indispensable for civilizations.

The key factor is...

10 years.

Ten years post-Prohibition Order for one elixir drop.

Too long to endure.

At present trajectory, in ten years, should beef be undesired, no cows would linger in the universe; rendering this tool pointless.

As for... trade.

Even more irrelevant.

Trading with civilizations? Unneeded now. The universe awaited his dominion, all cosmic creations his by right. Trading with oneself defied logic.

All that's required now is the completion of researching the original blueprint for the "Powerful Magnet" accessory.

On that note, Chen Mang pondered.

"Time to assemble a new research squad?"

"Since human civilization has advanced to the eighth level, Qi Kexiu's team, originally pulled from the Level 1 'Peace-Seeking Civilization,' likely can't match our rapid progress anymore."

"Better to recruit a fresh research team from higher civilizations."

"The Divine-level civilization 'Human Civilization' looks promising."

"I'll check it out first."

...

One day afterward.

Using successive wormhole transfers, Chen Mang arrived at the thriving commerce world "Annie Star" in the Divine-level civilization "Human Civilization."

No one noticed the entire operation.

His train and wormholes possess total stealth, undetectable by anyone—not even the Divine-level civilization "Human Civilization" with their maximum-grade radars; these elements exist on a superior dimension.
