Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Zhao Lin opened her mouth, her gaze unconsciously falling on Ye Qiyan's train.

She bit her lip as if struggling with something, then after a moment closed her eyes as if resigning herself to fate, shaking her head repeatedly.

"I don't know him, I don't know anything!"

This answer surprised Zhao Xi somewhat. She reached out and patted Zhao Lin's cheek, then pinched it like some female pervert.

"Oh? So timid, yet still helping that person? Could he be your lover? Or perhaps~"

Bang—!

Zhao Xi raised her hand, a lightning shield intercepting a black bullet.

She straightened up, narrowing her eyes slightly as she examined the partially penetrated shield.

"I don't know about interesting, but I think bullying an unlucky person isn't very interesting."

Ye Qiyan's figure appeared not far away, wearing a cowboy hat he'd obtained from who knows where.

Looking at the Black Ebony in his hand, Zhao Xi showed some surprise.

"That's a nice gun. Selling?"

"Sorry, it's not for sale."

"That's a shame."

Zhao Xi jumped onto Ye Qiyan's train roof. Under her body-hugging short skirt, her long legs crossed, her upper body leaning forward with one hand supporting her cheek as she examined Ye Qiyan.

"That dragon, is it yours?"

"What dragon? Didn't see any. Big sis, you've got the wrong person, I haven't seen any dragon."

Ye Qiyan tried to play dumb.

But as Zhao Xi snapped her fingers and a blue-and-white Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon appeared, he knew he couldn't pretend anymore.

"Don't play dumb. I saw it—the Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon, this one. I can even smell it—you have the scent of a mech-dragon on you."

"Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragons can only be made from blueprints, and that blueprint can only be used twice. So, understand? Tell me, where did you find that blueprint?"

Is this woman's nose like a dog's?

No, even a dog's nose probably isn't as sensitive as hers. How can she smell that? He didn't even know Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragons had any particular scent.

"Actually, I really don't—"

Stare—

"Alright, I found it in a treasure chest at a station platform."

Zhao Xi sniffed again with her nose.

"Treasure chest? How could that thing appear in a treasure chest?"

Without waiting for Ye Qiyan's answer, she stroked the blue-and-white Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon, reminiscing about the past as she began talking to herself.

"Back when this was made, the blueprint was stolen. By the time I realized, that guy had already started running. I wasn't strong enough back then—could only dig out his heart, couldn't completely kill him. Watched helplessly as that person escaped. So, that person, is he dead now?"

"Yeah, dead."

Ye Qiyan simplified the story of finding the blueprint in the grave at Screaming Manor.

"The blueprint's description said that person was already in critical condition when he reached the station. To prevent others from getting this blueprint, he hid it in that place."

"Serves him right, he deserved it. By the way, where's your dragon? Not on this train? Where did you hide it?"

"Starting it up costs money."

A bag was tossed over.

"This should be enough, right?"

Ye Qiyan opened it and silently pocketed the twenty Train Coins inside, then smiled and snapped his fingers.

So generous.

As expected of a city's Grand Judge—twenty Train Coins just handed over without hesitation.

"Come out, come out. Take a look at your kind."

The Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon flew out from the Armament Space. Compared to Zhao Xi's, aside from color, there was no difference.

"Hmm? You have pretty good luck? That just now was... the Armament Space Module? What level is your train? Five carriages, Level 5?"

This Grand Judge wasn't as cold as imagined. In fact, she seemed unexpectedly easy to get along with.

But can't she tell?

Thinking about it carefully, aside from Shaya who could instantly see his train level back then, it seemed no one else could tell at a glance.

Apparently, even high-level Train Conductors aren't all omnipotent.

Their modules, abilities, and items each have their own strengths.

"Something like that."

"Something like that? Hmm... whatever."

Zhao Xi jumped down from the train roof, walked to Ye Qiyan's side, stood on tiptoe and touched his Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon.

"Same as mine, definitely a Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon. Really surprising—I never thought I'd see it again."

She sighed with emotion, not noticing how strange Ye Qiyan's gaze had become.

This Grand Judge seems... a bit short?

Ye Qiyan's height was fairly normal, around 180cm. Standing before this Grand Judge, he was a full head taller than her.

She's... 150cm?

Zhao Xi withdrew her hand and jumped back onto the train roof.

She didn't seem to like talking to others on the same level ground.

Hmm... if she's 150cm, that makes sense.

"Put it away. Well done. You, what's your name?"

"Ye Qiyan."

"Oh, I'm Zhao Xi, this city's Grand Judge. You should know me."

"Just met you now."

"Tch, then this must be your first time in Suoluo City. If you came more often, you'd definitely know me."

Zhao Xi crossed her arms, tilting her head up with considerable confidence.

If she hadn't just jumped down, Ye Qiyan might have thought this was arrogance. But after noticing the Grand Judge's height, he just found it somewhat amusing.

"However, if it's your first time, why is your train here instead of at the city entrance station?"

Zhao Xi's tone shifted abruptly, becoming noticeably stiffer.

Her azure blue eyes fixed on Ye Qiyan's face as if trying to see through everything about him.

"I just heard there was somewhere here that could do cheaper train maintenance, so I came with a friend. But seems I was scammed—that person ran off."

"Hmm? Someone actually dares to do such things in Suoluo City? Whatever, live and learn. Hmm... which city's guild are you in now?"

"City of a Thousand Stars. Just joined one randomly, mainly to exchange for upgrade resources."

"Hmm, then how about joining Suoluo City's Judicature?"

"?"

Ye Qiyan blinked, pointing at himself.

"Me?"

"Who else? That weak little girlfriend of yours? You have a Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon. Join the Judicature, work under me, I won't treat you badly."

Zhao Xi seemed to remember something and added:

"Don't worry, joining the Judicature doesn't mean abandoning your train. These are optional choices. Like me—I'm just a Grand Judge who abandoned my train in others' eyes, doesn't mean I actually abandoned it."

She clapped her hands.

"Decided then. Go, return to your train, let's add as friends."

A friend message came through.

[Zhao Xi has sent you a friend invitation]

[Zhao Xi has sent you a faction invitation: Suoluo City Judicature]
