Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 133: Black Forest, the Vibration of the Devil CardAltos left this station, taking with him some of the rotting corpses from this deep pit until the locomotive section was completely filled.
From his words, Ye Qiyan learned some quite useful information.
First, each batch of Train Conductors numbered 180 million people, and during the initial ten novice stations, eighty percent of them failed to pass.
Second, the train system showed favoritism toward Train Conductors. This could be glimpsed from the system's textual display of anger back when he was nearly trapped at the Slaughter Platform.
Third, the tasks at stations were equivalent to transactions, and in these transactions, the Train Conductor side could choose not to complete them, instead directly seizing the rewards through force or other means.
"So those people who want Train Conductors to abandon their trains and stay in the cities—what are they after?"
Suoluo City, City of a Thousand Stars... these cities seemed to be acting contrary to the train system's intentions.
"Whatever, it has nothing to do with me anyway."
The Wandering Star Holy Sigil rotated around him.
Altos's locomotive section was quite small, at least compared to Ye Qiyan's current train—very small.
He could only take a dozen or so rotting corpses with him. As for the remaining ones, he would mercifully help liberate them.
Of course, while conveniently recycling them through the Processing Station—maybe he could obtain some materials too.
Within ten minutes, the Raven demon eliminated all the rotting corpses, dragging them one by one to the Processing Station that Ye Qiyan had summoned for recycling.
The variety of recycled items wasn't extensive. Besides rotten flesh, there was one rather special material.
[Rotten Soul (Level 1)]
[Material used for crafting potions]
There were 172 rotting corpses here in total, yielding 172 rotten souls along with over 300 kilograms of rotten flesh—this comprised all the gains from this location.
Humans couldn't eat the rotten flesh.
However, it would work perfectly as fertilizer for the plants in the cultivation carriage and food for the not-yet-mature young Goshawk in the breeding carriage.
After handling this, Ye Qiyan turned his attention to the mist overhead that blocked the external Scorching Sun, suddenly having a bold idea.
This mist had persisted for so long under the Scorching Sun weather while lowering the temperature—could it also be a special material?
If it was material, then it should be collectible.
No time like the present. Driving the Raven demon to carry the Processing Station into the air for a test, the mist above actually began flowing toward the Processing Station.
The temperature in the deep pit gradually rose as the mist thinned, the scorching winds no longer blocked by anything.
Until the mist completely disappeared, a flexible purple sphere appeared on the Processing Station.
[Purple Heart Mist Sphere (Level 3)]
[Can slightly resist the warlike state induced by war's influence]
This item might prove useful someday. Not high level, it belonged to the functional category of items.
Ye Qiyan stored it in his backpack, then grabbed the Raven demon and returned to the surface above the deep pit.
Summoning the Road Tyrant, he headed southeast.
That was also the direction he had come from.
The Scorching Sun weather effects grew increasingly intense.
Even at full power, the Ice Vein Pearl could only maintain his body temperature within normal human range.
After spending over an hour returning to the train, he didn't depart immediately, planning to perform Sublimation on this Ice Vein Pearl first.
Otherwise, despite the Wandering Star Holy Sigil blocking the Scorching Sun outside, the Ice Vein Pearl's power would soon be unable to withstand the blistering 50°C heat.
No, it seemed to have already exceeded 50°C now.
The temperature displayed by the Sunny Doll had reached a startling 56°C.
"So hot. Speaking of which, that Zhao Lin should be at the Misfortune Station this time, right? In this weather, she might not hold up."
Ye Qiyan shook his head, merely thinking briefly about Zhao Lin's situation without taking any substantive caring actions.
Removing the Ice Vein Pearl hanging around his neck, he held it in his palm.
Its cool touch felt exceptionally comfortable even outside the climate-controlled carriage.
Eating large mouthfuls of White Forest Fruit sherbet, he whispered softly.
"Sublimation."
[Spirit: 139→99]
[Ice Vein Pearl (Level 3) → Ice Vein Heart Pearl (Level 5)]
It consumed forty spirit points.
Jumping from Level 3 directly to Level 5.
The Ice Vein Pearl's potential actually hadn't been fully exhausted yet.
However, Ye Qiyan temporarily had no plans to continue Sublimation.
After all, more important matters lay ahead—he couldn't afford to consume too much.
He called up the system interface to appraise this glowing ice-blue pearl in his hand.
[Ice Vein Heart Pearl (Level 5)]
[Consumes spirit power to create ice instantly without water, allows shape manipulation, significantly lowers temperature, provides mental calmness effect, slowly increases spirit recovery speed]
The improvements were substantial—removing the water requirement that originally needed for ice formation.
Additionally, the description now included an effect that increased spirit recovery speed.
Although only slowly, for Ye Qiyan, such abilities were never too many.
Retying the Ice Vein Heart Pearl to its cord, Ye Qiyan exited the carriage again.
Consuming one spirit point.
The external high temperature was instantly blocked.
An ethereal ice-blue light manifested at his feet.
The external heat was no longer a problem.
"Not bad."
Satisfied, he touched the jewel on his neck, mounted the Road Tyrant, and determined the direction where WALL-E was located.
He had just checked the sand table.
No additional dangerous unit coordinates had appeared on the sand table.
After Altos left, this station should theoretically no longer harbor dangerous creatures.
But Altos had also mentioned that forest would make people unconsciously want to chop something.
It wasn't hard to guess that place absolutely contained power capable of affecting the mind.
He wasn't afraid himself.
But would WALL-E, having become a mechanical life form, be unaffected?
The Road Tyrant started moving.
Heading straight southeast continuously.
After traveling about fifty minutes, Ye Qiyan saw the black forest Altos had described.
And this forest inexplicably gave him a familiar feeling.
Like...
"A recolor of White Forest? No, not quite the same, but these trees?"
White Forest, his second station.
That gray-white land was far too distinctive, so Ye Qiyan's memories of it remained quite vivid.
The trees in this black forest before him, aside from their color, were identical to those in White Forest.
"Could this place have some connection to White Forest?"
After brief consideration, he habitually summoned a demonic raven to scout ahead.
But the moment the demonic raven entered that black forest area, it suddenly emitted a piercing shriek, then charged fiercely in one direction.
Not only that.
Ye Qiyan even felt his other Demon Cards in the Armament Space vibrating slightly, as if... in anger?
