System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 879 - 341: Xiaolv Can Only Stomach Tough Food, Not the Soft Stuff
"So—"
"Xiaolv spat out that ball of light, which is his stomach. Inside is a vast small world, where he stores all the space fragments and shockwaves absorbed into his stomach."
"Acting as gastric fluids."
"If the stomach doesn’t contain anything, these entities stronger than gastric fluids will cause significant damage to his stomach. However, now there’s the enormous Stellar Giant Beast contained within, and these ’strong acids’ are rapidly destroying that Stellar Giant Beast."
"And continually extracting nutrients to replenish Xiaolv."
"When Xiaolv wakes up, his power will be greatly enhanced."
"In other words."
"Xiaolv cannot digest any food because his stomach... doesn’t have gastric fluids at all. Any food placed inside, even an ordinary meat bun, cannot be digested."
"It just remains piled up there."
"He must absorb these intense space fragments and shockwaves to digest food, which only appears in battles of this level."
"Understood."
Chen Mang nodded. He now understood why Xiaolv showed no desire to join the battle against the Insect Race Civilization. The evolved Xiaolv, when facing these insect monsters...
Nothing eaten can be digested.
The space fragments and shockwaves he creates could be absorbed into his belly, but these were redundant for digesting insect monsters, ultimately attacking his own stomach.
Simply put.
Xiaolv can only handle tough food; soft food he can’t manage.
The harder, the better.
"..."
Next, Chen Mang glanced complexly at the blank area on the Mechanical Civilization’s ruins, like a cosmic void, and murmured after a long pause, "I think the Mechanical Civilization’s records regarding the Star-devouring Beast might be incorrect."
"The Mechanical Civilization’s database states the Star-devouring Beast is an S-class potential Stellar Giant Beast, feeding on mineral stars."
"But—"
"It now seems the star referred to by Star-devouring Beast might not be a mineral star, but rather... a Stellar Giant Beast star."
"This creature is a master at consuming Stellar Giant Beasts."
That Stellar Giant Beast.
When facing it, you’d need to bring your foundation to the stage.
Yet Xiaolv quickly ended the battle with just one bite.
The larger the space fragments and shockwaves produced by the Stellar Giant Beast, the easier they are to digest. If weaker, Xiaolv wouldn’t dare to swallow; if swallowed and not digested, he would remain asleep, never waking up.
At that moment—
"Found it."
Suddenly, Ai’s voice came from the train: "Train Captain, I found some information in the database of the Nia Civilization’s train."
"A part of it records information about the Star-devouring Beast."
"Somewhat like rumors."
"It says the Star-devouring Beast is of high potential, capable of continually consuming and breaking the limits of Stellar Giant Beasts through devouring, but has a flaw. Digestion takes a long time, it’s common to sleep for thousands of years due to digestion."
"To truly grow, it often takes hundreds of thousands of years, or even longer."
"A major reason is."
"The Stellar Giant Beasts consumed are hard to digest, requiring constant tumbling in the cosmos to create space fragments and shockwaves, absorbing them into the ’stomach’ for digestion."
"But..."
"Stellar Giant Beasts transformed into ’Cosmic Landmines’ are often huge, and the space fragments and shockwaves generated are extraordinarily large, containing vast amounts of energy. This energy helps Star-devouring Beasts quickly digest their food."
"Which means..."
"The ’Cosmic Landmines’ feared by all civilizations are seen as natural huge supplements by Xiaolv."
"Large in quantity, flavorful, easy to digest."
"If Xiaolv could handle a cosmic landmine daily, then... growing in a few years to a level that other clansmen need hundreds of thousands of years to evolve to, isn’t impossible."
"Understood."
Chen Mang squinted his eyes slightly, nodded: "So, if Xiaolv devours a Stellar Giant Beast with a diameter of millions of kilometers, not only is the energy contained much less than that of a ’Cosmic Landmine,’"
"But also, due to the smaller space fragments and shockwaves, digestion would be extremely difficult..."
"That’s correct."
After a long time.
Chen Mang suddenly laughed, "That’s great."
So, in the future, I don’t need to fear cosmic landmines anymore; not only do I not fear them, but they can also be opportunities, good supplements for Xiaolv.
No wonder Xiaolv was so eager to request participation in battle.
It’s not a desire for achievement.
It’s clearly a hunger for food.
However...
The limitation of only playing high-level games is too significant; all gastric fluids must be supplied externally, can’t generate any within, can’t even digest a bun, of course, I’ve seen Xiaolv has no excretion organs. It seems he doesn’t have digestion and excretion functions internally.
It’s somewhat like an externalized stomach.
So,
In the future, upgrading ’radar’ doesn’t need much apprehension.
However, this doesn’t mean there should be no fear of cosmic landmines at all.
There are many types of cosmic landmines.
The targets are the same.
The presentation is different, the most common form is the ’Stellar Giant Beast’ type, but what form a cosmic landmine from more advanced civilizations takes is unknown, and that’s also crucial.
"Bring Qiuya over."
"Yes."
...
"Cosmic Landmine?"
Qiuya pondered for a moment before speaking: "Cosmic landmines come in many forms. Generally speaking, the stronger the cosmic landmine, the higher the trigger threshold, since the cost is very high, it can’t be triggered to obliterate a third-level civilization due to mere detection."
