System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 886 - 342: Lighthouse Curse

"If it’s not resolved quickly,"

"In a few years, an army will arrive at the Nami Civilization."

"At that time, it will be the day of Nami Civilization’s destruction."

Above.

These words.

Were naturally all made up by him, the man’s mental defenses were nearing collapse, just a bit more pressure to ensure everything said was the truth, and he would reveal more.

However, he couldn’t help but give himself a thumbs up for his naming skills.

"Lighthouse Curse."

The name is really well thought out.

It seems almost as if it were true.

...

Soon—

The man’s mental defenses completely crumbled, and he knelt on the ground, recalling with a faint look of confusion on his face: "That was long, long ago, back when I was just a small worker in a furniture factory."

"The family was extremely poor."

"We couldn’t even afford enough to eat."

"Normally, residents of the Nami Civilization have basic living guarantees, but we were illegally married at the time, without registration, and couldn’t receive the basic citizen benefits of the Nami Civilization, life was very difficult."

"Until..."

"One day I found a desk in the trash heap."

"I was overjoyed at the time."

"Because even though this desk was a bit old, it was still usable. As long as I took it home and cleaned it, I could have a desk of my own, adding a new piece of furniture to my study, my very own new furniture."

"I was just a worker."

"Not a cultured person, nor did I have any place to use a desk."

"But I still took it home and carefully cleaned it, even went to the extent of repainting the surface with black varnish, which I had stolen from the furniture factory. Every time I got back from work and sat at that desk, I fantasized about being like those big bosses, wielding power in front of a desk, a mere stroke of a pen could decide the fate of countless families."

"That feeling fascinated me."

"Until—"

"One day, an object I had never seen before suddenly appeared in the drawer, in the then bare apartment where I lived, I remembered every item clearly, I could be sure that there was absolutely no such thing in the house."

"I saw a telescope."

"After searching online for quite a while, I finally learned that this was a ’Train Accessories’ white-grade telescope, and someone had upgraded it to Level 10, it required up to 8 Murphy Stones and a large amount of resources to enhance to this level."

"That was worth three years of my salary."

"I still remember how I felt at the time, my breathing quickened, my heart started beating wildly, every cell in my body screamed insanely at me that selling this telescope could make me wealthy overnight!"

"I could let my family have a well-fed meal, provide them with new clothes, move my pregnant wife to a single patient room, and hire a better medical team."

"A single telescope."

"Could improve my entire family’s life."

"But..."

"I didn’t dare sell it, I didn’t know how the telescope appeared in my desk drawer, nor did I dare to easily sell the accessory, fearing that the owner might claim it back, until not long after, I discovered yet another object had appeared in my desk drawer."

"It was a porcelain doll."

"I thought this should be fine, so I took it to ’Flea Street’ in the city to sell, it was quickly noticed by a keen-eyed person, who asked for the price excitedly, I nervously held up five fingers without saying a word, expressionless."

"I began calculating internally, waiting for the other party to make an offer and sell it immediately."

"But instead they asked if it was, 500,000."

"My body stiffened, but I still instinctively nodded."

"The other party was straightforward, didn’t even say another word, threw down a Space Pocket and a business card, and walked off excitedly, asking me to contact them first if I ever had such good goods again."

"And like that,"

"I returned home with 500,000 in a daze and had the first Space Pocket of my life, which was... my ten-year salary!"

"I worked hard my entire life!"

"I swear I worked harder than most people, I held down three jobs, besides the furniture factory, I had two part-time jobs, but never in this life had I seen so much money."

"From that day on,"

"I was transformed, my family wore new clothes, there was meat on the dining table, my wife was in a single patient room with a better medical team, pregnant women at the hospital also envied her, saying how generous her husband was, how much he loved her."

"I wore the Space Pocket prominently on my belt, donned new clothing, and stood by my wife’s side, smiling cheerfully, without a word."

"At that moment,"

"I felt as though the back I had bent for a lifetime, suddenly straightened."

"Since then, the desk occasionally spat out something, and I established a working relationship with the person I sold the goods to at that time, I became increasingly wealthy and started my own company, however, more and more people began to question my supply chain."

"And some pointed out that everything I sold seemed to be Cosmic Forbidden Items."

"Out of necessity,"

"I was forced to set up my own suppliers, collecting all kinds of rare items, although the profits were thinned, at least I had a legitimate supply channel, but even so."

"My profits were still dozens of times more than my peers."

"The items that brought me the highest profits were all obtained without any cost, I didn’t need any capital."
