System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 626 - 299: "What is Mr. Li to you?" (Requesting monthly votes) _2
"Only these Train Captains are coming with us, what about the people on the train?"
"Senior, you’re talking about the people downstairs, right? Those people have all signed long-term work contracts with the train. They eat, drink, and live in the train, and they won’t leave it."
"Got it."
...
Dust rose against the wind.
Chen Mang and his group, led by Qiu Yisao, grandly arrived at the outskirts of this highly modern city. After getting on the main road, a long queue formed in front of them as they were about to enter the city.
Queue for inspection.
However, the inspection was remarkably fast.
Chen Mang, riding on a motorcycle, looked with curiosity at the "Land Flying Vehicles" in front of and behind him—similar to cars but flying close to the ground, with a highly sci-fi look.
He thought about buying one to try out later.
Yes.
The main purpose of his visit this time was also to shop.
The currency of all the civilizations in the "Kasha Civilization Federation" is extremely unified—it’s "iron ore." Of course, with negotiation, other resources can be used as a replacement.
It’s not that no civilization ever tried to create their own currency.
But, it was too difficult to implement.
After all, no currency is as stable as iron ore. Whether in times of war or peace, iron ore does not suddenly depreciate or crash.
Although there is no currency, there are tokens.
For example, in "Sanshui City," each citizen has a wristwatch where they can store units of iron ore in the bank, which then digitizes it into their wristwatch for easier transactions. However, generally, only locals do this; most travelers still prefer paying with iron ore cash.
Today’s spending target: 10 million units of iron ore.
He planned to buy a lot of things, like crop seeds and other miscellaneous items.
Soon—
As the queue gradually moved, Chen Mang arrived at a place resembling a "toll booth." Spotlights on the checkpoint’s walls projected red lines onto his body, and then several lines of text appeared on the screen on one side of the wall.
-
"Scan complete."
"Unaffiliated wanderer, life level 0, no lock required."
"Entry granted."
"Peace-Seeking Civilization, main city number 8 ’Sanshui City’ welcomes you."
"We hope you have a pleasant journey and enjoyable life. Please abide by the laws and regulations of the Peace-Seeking Civilization and respect the local customs. For any incidents, you can call the mayor’s hotline at 2377998 through the ’wristwatch’ or public phone for assistance."
-
Once the lines of text appeared on the screen, the indicator lights on both sides of the wall turned green, and the gate in front opened.
Indicating normal passage was allowed.
Chen Mang slightly twisted the throttle and rode his motorcycle out of the checkpoint. Just as Qiu Yisao had mentioned, his kind of status was considered an "Unaffiliated Wanderer."
Civilizations cannot be joined.
For example, if he wanted to join the "Peace-Seeking Civilization" now, it would be impossible. Once one’s own civilization is wiped out, one becomes a wanderer. To reintegrate into a civilization, there are only two paths.
The first path is to rebuild your own civilization.
The second path is to have a child with someone from another civilization, in which case the child will automatically receive that civilization’s mark, and after a few generations, they will be fully integrated into that civilization.
"Civilization Mark."
It comes from the Cosmic Rules, or rather, it’s a part of the normal operation of this universe that was born.
It cannot be faked.
The leader of a civilization possesses a stamp, which can only be used by them, called a "Civilization Seal." When the seal is placed on a planet, that planet is recognized by the universe as belonging to your civilization.
In the "Star System Map," this is shown as the planet belonging to xx civilization.
Extremely simple.
Any unowned planet can be stamped at will.
As long as...
You can survive without being killed by others.
The "Civilization Mark" can also be used in many places, such as stamps during "Wormhole" creation, etc. Once you advance to a level 1 civilization, you can have this seal. He... hasn’t planned to rebuild civilization yet.
Rebuilding civilization in this area requires an audit by the "Kasha Civilization Federation." If the audit passes, you’d join the Federation; if not, the Federation would find the risks too great or the effort not worthwhile and would easily destroy it.
Having this "Civilization Seal," you truly stand on the chessboard of the cosmic civilization struggle and fully participate in this grand cosmic struggle.
It’s a ticket to splendor, and a ticket to hell.
...
After leaving the checkpoint, he soon found himself in the city known as "Sanshui City."
"..."
Chen Mang leaned on a cane, looking at the bustling crowds and the endless flow of traffic on the streets. He stood there with no sense of dissonance compared to his surroundings—not because his attire fit in perfectly.
But because there were so many strange beings here that he didn’t stand out at all just by leaning on a cane.
Across the road, there was even someone walking with their head facing the ground, hopping along.
"Phew."
After a long while, he let out a light sigh, his expression somewhat subtly complex.
He had once witnessed the destruction of a civilization firsthand. That was just over a year ago, when a newly advanced level 1 civilization, the "Heaven-Slaying Civilization," was instantly destroyed by the Insect Race Civilization. At the time, watching this happen on the Star System Map, he didn’t feel much.
It was just a planet that disappeared.
A civilization’s name that vanished, that’s all.
In the entire Star System Map, planets like this were as numerous as cattle, countless. Whether one more or one less, no one cared at all.
