Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Chapter 12: Third Stop - Doomsday Town

After spending seven biscuits and considerable effort, he finally gathered enough mechanical parts from others.

"Turns out it's quite troublesome."

Looking at the resources in hand, Ye Qiyan shook his head.

No wonder Shangguan Yingxue hated trading - he also disliked haggling with people, constantly adjusting prices back and forth for scraps of food was truly a waste of time.

After placing the resources into the Processing Station, the blueprint for the acceleration device emitted a sapphire glow.

Soon, metal and machinery fused together, forming a complex mechanical device before Ye Qiyan.

[Train Burst Acceleration Device]

[Note: Can only be installed on the main train body. Place near the control system for automatic installation. After installation, can produce acceleration bullets]

[Acceleration Bullets]: Maximum three uses per day

"Producing bullets actually requires Train Coins too?"

Ye Qiyan felt somewhat helpless.

"No idea what it'll become after sublimation."

[Stamina: 55] [Spirit: 70]

His stamina and spirit had recovered somewhat after eating the White Forest Fruit, enough for one sublimation attempt.

"Let's try."

After consuming 30 stamina and 40 spirit points, the acceleration device transformed.

[Red Triple-Speed Train Acceleration Device]

[Standardized Acceleration Bullets]: Maximum five uses per day. Can increase train speed to triple its original speed for ten minutes.

The usage count increased to five, though the speed boost remained unchanged.

However, its potential seemed exhausted - no further sublimation possible.

Following the prompt, Ye Qiyan placed the acceleration device before the control system.

A silvery light enveloped the device, then a black hole emerged from the control panel - the bullet loading port.

"A bit pricey."

Ye Qiyan spent two Train Coins to produce two acceleration bullets.

Looking at the silvery bullets as thick as a baby's arm, he winced at the expense.

Putting away his last two coins, he considered testing the accelerated speed but decided against it.

He wasn't that extravagant yet.

With everything settled, it was time to rest.

"Speaking of which, are the low spirit side effects just empty threats? I've never felt anything."

——————

[Stamina: 100] [Spirit: 100]

"Finally fully recovered."

After a full night's rest, Ye Qiyan yawned and got up from the warm climate-controlled carriage.

Washing his face and humming, he walked to the end of the carriage.

He dug out a seed from the ashen soil and nodded seeing its unchanged state.

"Let's try sublimating it - hopefully speeds up growth."

[Stamina: 70]

[Blessed White Forest Fruit Seed]

[Three days to sprout, three days to grow, three days to mature. After maturation, can produce one blessed White Forest Fruit daily]

"Actually worked? And even the fruit got sublimated too?"

Ye Qiyan sensed the seed's potential couldn't support another sublimation, but he could try again after they grew.

After digging, burying, and watering, Ye Qiyan was about to return to the front carriage for breakfast when he stopped by the garbage recycling device.

"Come to think of it, I did promise to sublimate you."

Looking at the inactive, oversized-matchbox-sized robot, Ye Qiyan crouched and knocked on its metal head.

Sublimate.

As usual, he intended to use stamina for sublimation, but strangely, the consumed stamina disappeared without effect.

Did sublimation fail?

Frowning, Ye Qiyan encountered this situation for the first time.

Trying again, this time using spirit instead of stamina.

[Spirit: 60]

Familiar radiance emerged as sublimation energy enveloped the small robot.

[GT-1: Automatic Treasure Hunting Robot]

[Upon arriving at stations, will automatically leave the train to locate treasure chests. Unobtainable chests will be mapped for the owner to retrieve]

[Can be repaired with mechanical parts when damaged]

[Each use consumes 1 Train Coin]

[Will forcibly return to collection station before each stop ends]

Camera-like eyes emerged from the matchbox, rotating 360 degrees before locking onto Ye Qiyan's face.

[Master information confirmed: Conductor ID E-3-1102, Ye Qiyan]

[Please name GT-1 unit. Default name will be GT1 if unnamed]

Ye Qiyan inexplicably recalled a character from an old-world movie.

"WALL-E?"

[Naming complete]

[Entering sleep mode. Please spend 1 Train Coin to activate upon station arrival.]

"..."

More Train Coins.

Acceleration bullets needed them, now the sublimated robot too.

Next train upgrade would require purchasing options with Train Coins, and likely other sublimated items would demand them as well.

Ye Qiyan felt he was heading for financial trouble.

"Wait - at this stage, most people probably don't understand Train Coins' value yet."

An idea struck him. He jogged back to the front and searched the chatroom using the control system.

[Train Coin]

["Anyone opened treasure chests? What are the Train Coins for?"]

["Who knows? Maybe this world's currency for buying things at stations?"]

["Lucky you finding chests. I've never even seen one."]

["Found some but no food! Two garbage stations in a row - gonna be eating dirt soon!"]

As expected, they completely missed the coins' value, still struggling for survival.

["1 compressed biscuit + 1 water bottle, trading for 1 Train Coin."]

He listed the offer on the Trading Platform before ignoring it.

If someone bit, great. If not, no loss.

Train time: 12:30 PM.

Right on schedule, the next station choice prompt appeared before Ye Qiyan.

[Crossroads of Fate activated. Please choose between these two stations]

[Station 1: Doomsday Town (Level 2 Mission Station)]

[Station 2: Goblin Village (Level 2 Hunting Station)]

Mission Station?

A new station type.

Compared to goblin-slaying that promised more trouble than reward, option one suited Ye Qiyan better.

[Station selection complete]

[Please remain seated. The train's next stop is...]

[Doomsday Town]

The train accelerated.

Space ahead gradually dissolved.

When the countdown hit zero, the surroundings completely transformed.

[Current Station: Doomsday Town]

[Docking countdown: 3:59:59]

[Good luck]

[Current station: Dangerous]
