System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 573 - 290: "Without 9 lives, who would dare to play like this."_2
"Use it to build houses, or fish traps, and then build another train."
"Quite a few Train Orders, huh."
Biaozi glanced around, somewhat surprised: "You don’t even have monsters here, where did the Train Orders come from?"
"Found them..."
"Picked up in the forest in the center of the island."
"Picked up?"
He looked up towards the forest in the center of the island, wondering if Train Orders were really that easy to find. He then stood up, hands in pockets, and looked at the group of survivors in front of him, sighing: "Poor kids."
These people have lived safely for nearly two years amidst Doomsday.
But—
The New World is about to be opened by the Fixed Star!
These people have also lost their chance to make a mark in the New World.
"Leader."
The middle-aged professor’s voice trembled slightly: "Outside... has the outside world really been destroyed?"
"Yes, absolutely real."
Biaozi casually accepted a piece of watermelon handed to him by Mountain Cat, took a big bite, and then said indifferently: "At a conservative estimate, two-thirds of Water Blue Star’s population is dead, probably more, almost everyone is dead, and Blue Star will explode in a few years."
"Outside the universe, we’re still right behind the Insect Race Civilization’s main base."
"It’s a crisis at every turn."
"What is the Insect Race Civilization? How do I explain, it’s complicated, it feels like I’m giving you a recap from the beginning."
"Anyway, basically, it’s completely finished, Doomsday, world’s end, you know that, right?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"Our Fixed Star is the most powerful train; we naturally won’t be troubled. If we are, then you can assume everyone else is wiped out too."
...
Inside the train.
In Resident Space No. 1.
Da Mao stood solemnly at the center of the pavilion, looking toward the Cyberminers sitting in a circle, his voice hoarse: "The Cyber Mine has been open for some time, I alone have mined three pieces of Level 9 Ore."
"The earnings are also the highest."
"Here, I’d like to tell you a little story."
"Before Doomsday, there was an extremely brutal war, a war from many years ago when countries synthesized into a Federation. In that war, due to severed transport routes, many injured on the front lines couldn’t get timely treatment and were howling in pain in the rear."
"At that time, the only way to relieve their pain was to inject painkillers immediately."
"But what if there were no painkillers?"
"Then—"
"An officer suggested injecting a bit of glucose into each wounded, deceiving them into thinking it was a painkiller."
"Guess what happened?"
"Those injured surprisingly didn’t feel pain anymore, and everyone held on until the medicine arrived, significantly increasing the survival rate."
Da Mao paused, looking carefully at each face again in the pavilion.
"Another story."
"Long ago, medicine wasn’t very advanced, and the cure rate for a certain disease was only 3%. At this time, a highly regarded doctor announced a new wonder drug publicly, claiming it had a 60% cure rate!"
"He invited 100 patients to try the drug."
"In the end, the cure rate even reached 72%."
"But—"
"The doctor actually gave them common candy as the wonder drug."
"It’s just that these patients believed they had taken a miracle cure, causing their bodies to heal on their own."
"Examples like these are countless."
Da Mao moved to sit on a chair by the side.
"This is the power of belief!"
"The human body is a wondrous existence, especially the belief in the mind; it can even create out of nothing, change reality, and is difficult to understand. For instance, when you take on something with strong belief, even if many obstacles occur at the start, if you persist with absolute conviction, you will surely gain something!"
"We are the last batch of miners on the Fixed Star."
"Since the creation of mining robots, many residents lost their jobs, temporarily lacking any way to earn Fixed Star Coupons. We still have a guaranteed one Fixed Star Coupon a day, and mining earns a reward of 1000 Fixed Star Coupons."
"Before you go to sleep, you must tell yourself, ’I can definitely bring it out, I can definitely bring it out, I can definitely bring it out!’"
"Engrain this belief deeply into your minds!"
"This is my experience. Has everyone understood?"
The surrounding Cyberminers exchanged hesitant glances, feeling it sounded almost like theology.
"I..."
At this moment, a young man beside them timidly raised his hand: "I brought out the fourth ore. I have some experience too. My method is very similar to Da Mao’s. I just felt certain I’d hit the jackpot today, and indeed, it happened."
"This, too, is the power of belief."
Da Mao looked seriously at everyone: "Before everyone enters the Cyber Mine next time, let’s all strengthen our belief together!"
...
Outside the train.
Old Pig frowned, pondering, and after a while, looked up at Da Mao: "Your plan will cause the Fixed Star significant extra expenditure."
"Yes, but I believe it will definitely be profitable."
Da Mao hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "As long as we set an example for everyone, reinforcing their belief is enough."
"Alright, I’ll go report to Master Mang."
"Wait for my news."
...
"Understood."
Chen Mang, sitting inside the train room, said thoughtfully: "Da Mao’s idea is to use belief to increase the mining yield, but the other Cyberminers don’t have strong belief, so they need help reinforcing their belief."
"During mining tonight, deliberately place an iron ore at the bedside of one or two miners."
"Tell the miners this is what they dug up."
