System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 924 - 350: Hell Forbidden Items

And at this moment——

Ai, through searching the local AI database, has already obtained relevant information and transmits this data into Chen Mang’s mind.

"Train Captain, the merchandise sold here by traders is known as ’Hell Forbidden Items,’ a kind of entity similar to ’Cosmic Forbidden Items.’"

"In the First Cosmos."

"’Cosmic Forbidden Items’ are entities that return to the past through the Space-Time Rift, interfering with time and space. When the past state and present state of a Cosmic Forbidden Item meet, some unimaginable things are born."

"Cosmic Forbidden Items are a specialty of the First Cosmos."

"Hell does not have this kind of thing."

"What’s amazing is..."

"The Second Cosmos completely lacks ’Time Rift,’ and its specialty, ’Hell Forbidden Items,’ are a very unique existence; some personal wear or items touched by those who die first may follow the host to the Second Cosmos with an extremely low probability."

"These things are the ’Hell Forbidden Items.’"

"Different Hell Forbidden Items also vary in ’Life Force,’ with numerical differences mainly depends on the time these items drift between the two universes; the longer they drift, the greater the life force."

"When people from the First Cosmos die, they don’t arrive in the ’Second Cosmos’ immediately; there is a period of drifting time, which is completely random."

"It could be a second, an instant."

"Or it could be ten thousand years, a million years, or even ten million years."

"One year of drifting equals 1 life force."

"As for drifting less than a year, it equates to zero life force, useless."

"The effects of ’Hell Forbidden Items’ mainly include two."

"The first one, which is the most commonly used, is... enhancing the strength of one’s physical body by absorbing the life force of ’Hell Forbidden Items,’ which is also the most usual method of use."

"The second kind is a bit rarer."

"Reportedly..."

"Between the ’First Cosmos’ and ’Second Cosmos,’ there is a vast expanse of void; if one wants to return to the First Cosmos, they need to collect enough ’Hell Forbidden Items’ to flow against the current with them."

"However, this hasn’t been confirmed yet, and according to the information I received, no one has achieved this, nor is it known where this rumor originated."

"By the way."

"There’s one more thing."

"Hell Forbidden Items cannot be directly touched with the skin, otherwise it’s like rubbing your butt with firelighter, and then rubbing vigorously, you’d feel an extremely long-lasting sting, which a mortal couldn’t endure; it must be separated with something, even if it’s just a layer of plastic film or toilet paper."

...

"..."

Chen Mang listened to Ai’s report in his mind, without showing much expression on his face. The reason why nothing happened when he touched it is probably because... he is not a being of this cosmos.

This object inherently belongs to the First Cosmos.

Him being a person from the First Cosmos, naturally it’s unproblematic for him to touch it.

Now it seems.

Although people from the First Cosmos and people from the Second Cosmos look no different from the outside, there are still significant differences in subtle details.

Absorbing life force...

Enhancing one’s physical body strength.

Honestly speaking, he’s somewhat tempted.

Even though he doesn’t intend to rely on this method for fighting, increasing his physical strength is a good thing, and he’s curious whether he can use it, thinking of buying one to test... but unfortunately he doesn’t have any money. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Should he just snatch it?

He raises his head to glance at the vendor with the sincere face full of expectation, pauses for a moment, and then says, "No rush, take a look and see if you’d buy this thing from me."

Having said that.

He rummages in his pocket for a moment and pulls out a lighter.

The vendor carefully receives the lighter wearing gloves and picks up the instrument in his hand again: "Let me check your item’s life force; if it’s too high, it might be beyond what I can afford." In the next moment——

The screen displays a long string of values.

"0.00000317."

"Uh..."

The vendor is momentarily puzzled and says: "Brother, your item’s life force is almost zero, basically worthless..."

Looking at the fellow in front of him with a group of people behind him dressed in non-mundane clothes and exuding a hard presence, he assumed this guy was a big shot, already prepared to see someone pull out something with high life force, even though he couldn’t afford it, he hoped to get some insight.

But he didn’t expect the opposite to bring out such a worthless object...

"..."

Chen Mang lightly nods his head, stands up and starts to walk away: "Wait for me here."

Then, he strides to the corner and enters the refrigerator.

He plans to try an idea.

His lighter has life force, belongs to the Cosmic Forbidden Items, meaning his traversal from the ’First Cosmos’ to the ’Second Cosmos’ counts as drifting time, only he moved too quickly.

So...

He might be able to artificially create a Cosmic Forbidden Item with a high life force?

Returned to the Fixed Star Train, he goes back to the First Cosmos, into the ’Nia Star System,’ manipulating the ’Fixed Star Train’ to turn back time to ten thousand years ago, and then immediately travels to the ’Second Cosmos’ again.

Returning from the refrigerator back to the Black Market.

...

"Here."

Chen Mang returns to the vendor again, pulls out another lighter, and softly says: "I took the wrong one just now, try measuring this one this time."

The vendor cautiously accepts the lighter and picks up the instrument once more to aim at the lighter.

In the next moment——

"Beep beep beep..."

Instead of numbers, the instrument screen displays three exclamation marks.
