System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 887 - 342: Lighthouse Curse

"No peer can compete with me."

"What my peers have."

"My peers sell for five hundred thousand, I sell for three hundred thousand at a loss."

"I’ve never lost a price war; gradually, more and more people know that what I sell is something others definitely don’t have, and what others have, my price is definitely higher."

"Of course."

"Along the way, I’ve encountered many vicious plots; I’ve taken a lot of people’s cake, and many want to kill me."

"It’s just that every year I spend a huge fortune hiring private security companies, and I’m the largest taxpayer and employment provider in the area, and I also send large amounts of wealth to various officials."

"The officials on my planet live the most lavish and comfortable lives in the entire Nami Civilization, except for the ’Political Main Star’.

"From the director to the interns."

"Everyone receives a generous gift from me during the holidays."

"On that planet, whatever I do gets the green light without any obstacles, and countless people want to curry favor with me. The competition rate for positions on that planet is the highest."

"Every time a few positions are released."

"A large number of people from other planets in the Nami Civilization want to come to our planet; everyone knows that as long as they work for ten years on this planet, they’ll never lack anything in life."

"All along the way."

"I admit it was that desk that changed my destiny, but does my effort get erased? I endured hardships, and once a painting from the Ninth-level Civilization was auctioned for a sky-high price by me, but I didn’t get a penny. Have I ever mentioned this to anyone?"

"Until..."

"Until one day, as usual, the desk started transmitting new items again, but when I opened the drawer, it was empty. I thought it would never transmit items again."

"But when I pushed open the window, I saw the enormous Celestial Palace hovering in the sky of the planet."

"I knew it was the new item transmitted this time, just a bit too large for the drawer."

"Since then."

"Everything started to change."

"Later, unexpectedly, a copper key appeared in the desk drawer; rationality told me I might be caught in an earth-shattering conspiracy. I got scared; I once thought that after fate had given me enough gifts, when it demanded a price, I would be able to face it calmly."

"But when the situation really arose, I found that I was actually a coward."

"I can’t bear to die; I can’t bear to leave my family, my current life."

"I went mad, trying to destroy the desk completely with a hydraulic press through an underground tunnel to a corner."

"Just..."

"Just..."

The man kneeling on the ground suddenly let out a tragic laugh: "But who can refuse the demands of destiny?"

"The desk was destroyed, but the desk was just a shell; the inside turned out to be a fridge."

"I took that fridge back to the study."

"Within six months, Cosmic Forbidden Items would still appear in the fridge sometimes, but I no longer had the desire to auction them, because Nami Civilization began arrangements that seemed to forget had changed."

"It was as if everyone’s perception had been altered."

"Everyone looked up at the sky."

"I don’t know what happened; I had never heard of the ’Lighthouse Curse’ before."

"But I know."

"’Nami Civilization’ seems to be finished."

...

The story is long.

Chen Mang listened carefully, silently lit a cigarette, and didn’t speak for a long time, letting the smoke swirl and drift in the train car, reddening his eyes.

He wasn’t moved by the man’s true emotions in the story.

Rather...

He finally understood!

He finally understood how his future self planned to find the Celestial Palace.

The Cosmos is vast."

Throwing a Celestial Palace into the ’Time Rift’ will indeed appear in the past, but it will show up at a random corner of the Cosmos; not knowing the exact coordinates makes it incredibly difficult to obtain even if you did know."

His future self must have done this.

That telescope was his.

The Celestial Palace was his.

The fridge was also his.

The protagonist of this story seems to be the middle-aged man, but it was actually him all along; he was the Goddess of Destiny mentioned by the man.

The Supermodel Effect of the fridge is that it can occasionally absorb any Cosmic Forbidden Items within the Cosmos into the fridge.

So—

As long as this ’fridge’ and ’Celestial Palace’ are thrown into the Time Rift simultaneously, after enough time, these two will eventually meet.

The Celestial Palace would be drawn by the fridge.

Similarly.

The ’telescope’ should also be thrown in together.

With the timeline extended, this telescope would inevitably be drawn to the fridge.

This way.

Three seemingly unrelated things appear in the same space.

And by entangling his telescope with his Cyber Mine, he had a chance to learn about these things.

Thus—

The current Chen Mang has the Level 10 telescope, an unknown-level fridge, and the future Celestial Palace.

These four existences, originally in different times and spaces.

At this moment."

They are irrevocably linked.

His future self successfully delivered those things into his hands.

As for how the fridge’s Supermodel Effect came to be, there is no doubt, one day in the future, his Qi Kexiu development team will recreate the ’Accessory Original Image’ of the fridge and, after repeated selection, obtain this Supermodel Effect.
