Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Hmm, must be an illusion!

Ye Qiyan shook his head and walked to the door leading to the locomotive.

He took a deep breath, retrieved the Ice Vein Pearl he had obtained from Shangguan Yingxue, and carried it with him.

Only then did he step into the oven-like space of the locomotive.

"Good thing I have this, otherwise it would be really unbearable."

The Ice Vein Pearl continuously released cold energy that countered the intense heat around him. Though it was still hot, it was at least tolerable.

Even in weather like this, performing Sublimation on the train required some sense of ceremony.

Picking up the five Train Coins from the Great Dragon brand and putting them away, Ye Qiyan stood on the platform that once bound the train system, reached out to touch it, and whispered softly.

"Sublimation."

A full 180 points consumed.

Azure blue Sublimation light enveloped the train.

Continuously accelerating, its constraints were once again broken through by this unconventional power.

【Train upgrade completed!】

【Current level: 7】

【Materials required for next train upgrade: 2000kg Wood, 1000 Mechanical Parts, 1550kg Metal, 40kg Glass, 500 Electronic Components, 40kg Gold, 40kg Mithril, 1× Secret Golden Light Stone】

The next level introduced new special materials again.

After the upgrade, the train's speed increased to 140 kilometers per hour, with simultaneous improvements to the frame, chassis, wheels, and Processing Station.

These were all expected outcomes of the upgrade.

What truly mattered were the upgrade options.

Ye Qiyan wasn't in a hurry to check them yet. Instead, he first ran back to the temperature-controlled carriage. Even with the Ice Vein Pearl cooling other areas, they were still quite uncomfortable.

He washed his face to clear his mind, then opened the upgrade options on the light screen before him.

【Upgrade options unlocked】

【Upgrade options as follows】

【1, High-Energy Electric Furnace (20 Train Coins)】

【2, Train Module: Storage Matrix (30 Train Coins)】

【3, Train Conductor Advanced Module: Self-Purification (60 Train Coins)】

【4, Train Space Expansion (20 Train Coins)】

One hundred thirty—this was the total final price for this round of upgrade options.

"So expensive... Can other Level 7 Train Conductors really gather this much?"

Ye Qiyan facepalmed in disbelief.

These upgrade options after the train level-up—if anyone claimed the system didn't scan his Train Coin count, even dogs wouldn't believe it!

He had exactly one hundred thirty-seven Train Coins. After purchasing everything, he'd be left with single digits.

"I knew it, I'm going to be broke again."

Despite his words, he was just venting.

Expensive things only have one flaw: being expensive. If he missed these upgrade options, he probably wouldn't get another chance to obtain them.

He still needed to buy them.

Besides, once the two weapons he listed on the black market were traded, that would be another influx of Train Coins.

Among the four options, Ye Qiyan started examining them from the first one.

【High-Energy Electric Furnace】

【After purchase, adds an internal High-Energy Electric Furnace device to the train. By inputting basic resources, it converts them into high-energy electricity. Once placed, it can remotely power all electricity-dependent items regardless of distance.】

Not bad—it's essentially an upgraded replacement for generators. With more and more electrical needs, having generators in each carriage was becoming too bulky.

With this, he only needed to place it in one carriage.

Must buy.

20 Train Coins vanished into points of light, and the small mountain before him visibly shrank.

【Train Module: Storage Matrix】

【Spend 1 Train Coin to store the train in the Storage Matrix. Can be used once daily for storage, no restrictions on release】

If the description wasn't mistaken, this module was incredibly useful!

In previous cities he visited—whether Suoluo City or the City of a Thousand Stars—after parking, leaving the train in the Tunnel Capsule was practically like offering it as collateral. If he encountered trouble and needed to escape, he had to find a platform that could teleport the train.

Moreover, Ye Qiyan didn't believe those cities couldn't lock onto the Tunnel Capsules.

Guardians turning thieves could happen at any time.

Thus, being able to keep the train always in his hands became extremely important.

Absolutely must buy!

Another 30 Train Coins disappeared, and Ye Qiyan's gaze turned to the third upgrade option—the most expensive of them all.

【Train Conductor Advanced Module: Self-Purification】

【After using this module, when spirit reaches 1 point, forcibly restore to full value points, remove any mental negative effects such as Self-Doubt/Madness/Cognitive Errors, and for 30 minutes, ignore all mental attacks and influences】

【This module can only be used once】

"..."

Strong?

Of course it's strong.

For anyone, this module is equivalent to a life-saving talisman.

In the chat room, many people's spirit had already reached critically low points—madness, self-doubt, self-torment... These sufferings persisted even when spirit recovered above the critical point, as the painful memories continued affecting them.

So for Train Conductors, this module was important.

But for him? His spirit had bizarre recovery speed, and even at lowest points, he wouldn't enter those negative states.

So was this module really useful?

Ye Qiyan pondered for a moment, then still pressed the purchase option.

You can never have too many life-saving methods.

Moreover, he thought of a combination technique.

Reduce himself to minimum through Sublimation, use the Book of Reality and Illusion's power to synchronously decrease everyone in range, then use Self-Purification to recover, and continue reducing.

Two consecutive spirit reductions—even those high-level Train Conductors might not withstand it.

Another large pile of Train Coins vanished before his eyes, leaving only the final option.

Train Space Expansion meant exactly what it said—external appearance unchanged, internal space expanded.

Ye Qiyan still remembered Shaya's enormous church carriage.

He also looked forward to someday having such a massive and magnificent carriage himself.

So, buy!

The originally mountain-like pile of Train Coins was now reduced to just seven. Putting them away, Ye Qiyan rubbed his temples. It was getting late, his stamina was low, and less than three hours remained until reaching the next station.

Who knew what might happen at the next station under this Scorching Sun weather.

He calculated the items he still needed to attempt Sublimation on.

One High-Energy Electric Furnace, and one 【Blueprint · Extermination Drone】.

These two weren't particularly urgent anyway.

He could wait until after the next station was almost over, after recovering his stamina and spirit, to handle them.

He planned to rest for a while.

Just then, a message notification from the friends interface reached his ears.
