Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

"Huh? Transaction, what? Huh?"

Zhao Lin snapped out of her daze from that voice, but that charlatan Zhu Xingshu had long since left this place.

Ye Qiyan walked over, his gaze flickering as he looked at the dark golden card on the table.

Without a doubt, even without using the system to appraise it, he could tell this was an unknown card sequence.

"Qiyan-ge, that person just now?"

"Don't know her."

"Huh?"

Ignoring Zhao Lin's completely bewildered expression, he walked straight over, picked up the dark golden card, and summoned the interface to appraise it.

[Fate Card · Heaven's Unequal Exchange]

"Trading talents? There's such a thing? Wait, half?"

Ye Qiyan suddenly thought of something, looking down at Zhao Lin with a raised eyebrow.

Her talent consisted of two parts: good luck and bad luck.

If half of a talent was being traded away, which half would it be?

No, the answer actually didn't need guessing.

This station was Zhao Lin's Lucky Station.

And before this, she had experienced tremendous misfortune that nearly cost her life and almost destroyed her train.

So, the half that Zhu Xingshu traded away...

Most likely, was the misfortune.

Ye Qiyan's eyebrow raised slightly as he looked with interest at the card in his hand, then tossed it to Zhao Lin.

"Finished buying the train cars?"

Zhao Lin nodded.

"Bought one section, plus the blueprint for manufacturing basic train cars. Qiyan-ge, that person just now, do you really not know her? But she said..."

"Don't know her. Maybe she's just some crazy woman. No need to bother with her. Besides, what are you worried about? Have you forgotten what this station means to you?"

Zhao Lin blinked, and a confident expression reappeared on her face.

"Mm! Qiyan-ge, you're right. Nothing to be afraid of. As long as it's a Lucky Station, how could anything bad happen? This card looks really special. Maybe that pretty big sister just felt a connection with me and came to give me a gift."

————

The pretty big sister in Zhao Lin's mouth was currently happily riding in a car through the roads of the City of a Thousand Stars.

She hummed an unknown tune, happily plucking at the air in front of her with her fingers.

Her system interface appeared, but before she could continue manipulating it, the car suddenly let out a "mournful cry," rumbling to a halt as it broke down halfway.

The driver collided with the steering wheel.

He quickly got out to check and found the car's engine billowing white smoke, clearly on the verge of complete failure.

"Miss, please get out quickly! The car has broken down! It might explode any moment!"

"...Alright then~ Fate tells me your car should... explode quite spectacularly?"

Zhu Xingshu chuckled a couple of times, not particularly annoyed, as she pushed the door open and got out.

"Is this the lucky talent activating? Hehe~ Really quite fast. What exactly is this talent?"

She prepared to continue checking.

However, right at that moment.

A brilliant golden glow caught her attention.

Looking up.

She saw a man wearing casual clothes, sunglasses, a face mask, and a baseball cap buying food at a snack stall.

Plop—

The snack fell to the ground.

"It's... you."

The corner of Zhu Xingshu's mouth twitched a few times as she awkwardly greeted him.

"Hi, hello there, senior. Well, I have things to do, so I'll be going now."

This man was none other than the Sequence Master of the Order Card who had ruthlessly slashed her several times back in Suoluo City, and also the person who provided Order Cards to all powerful cities.

One could even say that the establishment of all cities was inseparable from this man.

And his Order Card had been stolen once by Zhu Xingshu. Although he eventually reclaimed it, it made this man aware of Zhu Xingshu and the Imperial Sequence Organization that collected card sequences.

He had come to the City of a Thousand Stars to recuperate and had planned to experience ordinary life for a while.

He truly never expected to encounter her here of all places.

Rip—

When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with fury.

The shirt was torn off.

The man covered in golden patterns flew into mid-air, crossed his arms, and coldly stared at Zhu Xingshu.

"You... deserve to die."

Boom—!

The street was blasted apart by a single slash.

Amidst the smoke, Zhu Xingshu, enveloped in a layer of light screen, burst out of the smoke, the astrolabe in her hand flickering slightly.

"This way... is it safe?"

Barely escaping being slashed to death, Zhu Xingshu gasped for breath, touched the long scratch on her left arm, and felt quite puzzled.

"This shouldn't be happening. Didn't I just trade for that girl's talent? How could I be so unlucky? And why can't I suddenly hear Fate's voice anymore? So strange? Wasn't that girl's talent supposed to be luck? It couldn't be wrong—this was the result Fate told me."

Looking at the system interface that had been following her all along, glancing at the man in the air, she quickly pulled up her personal information.

In the talent section, besides her original talent, after seeing that line of new text, Zhu Xingshu's face was filled with question marks.

[Bad Luck? Not Conserved!]: Originally meant to alternate with good luck, but forcibly separated by some power. Now, only bad luck remains.

"Huh??? What kind of talent is this? How did I steal this? This shouldn't be? Didn't Fate say that girl had good luck?"

No time to think more.

Because the man above had spotted her again and was swinging another slash toward Zhu Xingshu.

"Hey, don't go too far, I—!"

Boom!

For the first time in her life, after obtaining the astrolabe and being able to hear Fate's voice, she found herself in such a wretched state.

Because, she couldn't hear it anymore.

The Fate that had constantly whispered in her ear was now suppressed by that bizarre misfortune.

Fate had become mute.

————

Having left the Train Exchange with Zhao Lin, Ye Qiyan rubbed his chin as he watched the golden-glowing man in the distance.

"Isn't that guy the one from Suoluo City? Who pissed him off again... oh, I see."

Ye Qiyan suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

Glancing back at the smiling Zhao Lin, he could probably guess who the golden man's target was.

"So it really was the misfortune half after all."

Luck turned all bad things into good things.

Zhu Xingshu believed in Fate.

It wasn't hard to guess that this charlatan would suddenly come here to find Zhao Lin, then use that card to trade for Zhao Lin's talent—all to obtain good luck.

Too bad, if you often stand by the river, eventually your shoes will get wet. Fate had probably played a huge joke on her.

Good luck had become bad luck.

And extremely bad luck at that.

This time, without Zhao Xi, without Fan Huo and that guy who used the Great Dragon card, wouldn't she be unlucky enough to actually die at this station?

If that really happened, it would be... somewhat humorous.
