Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

"...Uh... Morning, Brother Ye, and... little sister..."

Zhu Xingshu slowly rose, clutching her still aching arm, looking at Zhao Lin sitting opposite Ye Qiyan with a complex expression.

She took a bite of the remaining carrot in her mouth, that complicated look vanishing instantly as she smiled and walked straight over.

"Seems I didn't sleep long. This carrot tastes pretty good, got any more, Brother Ye?"

"None left. Want this instead?"

Ye Qiyan handed Zhu Xingshu a skewer.

The other party naturally sat in the adjacent seat and began eating heartily.

Three people, none mentioning the talent matter.

Zhao Lin kept her head lowered in silence, Zhu Xingshu maintained her cheerful smile without saying a word.

After eating and drinking their fill, Zhu Xingshu stood up and walked straight to her train, fingers tapping in the air.

A message appeared before Ye Qiyan.

["Aiya~ really took quite a fall there. Never thought I'd have a day when fate would play me like this. Do you know about that little sister's talent?"]

["Don't know. How would I know what talent she has? Who would tell outsiders about such things?"]

Ye Qiyan smiled at Zhu Xingshu, completely unwilling to tell the truth.

["...Really now, why don't even newcomers in the organization trust me anymore? Is big sister really that untrustworthy? That Fate Card—I don't believe you haven't seen it. Seeing that card, you should understand what I did. Stealing half the bad luck nearly killed me, and the other half... hehe~ Fate says she possesses luck, so the remaining half must be good luck, right?"]

Zhu Xingshu opened the train door and walked in wearily.

["Is that so? Didn't know about that."]

["Mhm~ Don't worry, I won't do anything to your little sweetheart anymore. That Fate Card, I won't try to get it back either. Indeed, borrowing others' luck like this—do it too much and you'll always pay the price eventually. Hehe, I'm off. Need to find a way to get rid of this bad luck."]

So, she really wasn't doing this "borrowing" others' luck for the first time.

Only this time, Zhao Lin's talent wasn't just about luck.

["What are you saying, she's just a Train Conductor from my same batch. As for that Fate Card you mentioned, I haven't seen it and don't know where it is now."]

["....."]

Whether she believed it or not didn't matter.

Anyway, that Fate Card—she wasn't getting it back.

The train started, and Zhu Xingshu limped back to her astrological platform to kneel.

Looking at the star chart before her wrapped in a layer of eerie black ominous aura, a sense of powerlessness washed over her.

"That item that can strip talents is in Suoluo City... Troublesome. Can't hear fate's voice anymore, can only rely on the Astrolabe now. Maybe find someone to help?"

She left.

Ye Qiyan didn't know where Zhu Xingshu went.

He only knew that this charlatan wanting to remove bad luck would definitely be heavily affected by the bad luck itself, making things extremely difficult.

She should have her hands full for quite some time.

"Brother Qiyan, should we get going too?"

This was the first thing Zhao Lin said since Zhu Xingshu woke up.

Location: Lower District.

Entering this area wasn't easy.

This place was hidden away by the City of a Thousand Stars.

That lich person Altos told him that to enter the Lower District, one could only do so through smuggling.

People who typically did this were called snakeheads, mostly helping drifters from the Lower District sneak into the main city of the City of a Thousand Stars.

However, Ye Qiyan felt there was no need for such trouble, nor such wretchedness.

He approached the Inspectors of the City of a Thousand Stars and, using his identity as a third-level Judge of the Tribunal in Suoluo City, entered the Lower District through the Inspectors' dedicated teleportation device under the pretext of pursuing criminals.

This identity was more useful than he imagined.

Walking through the streets of the Lower District, recalling the obsequious, fawning manner of that Inspector just now—a third-level Judge of the Tribunal seemed equivalent to the highest-ranking big shot in their eyes.

If he hadn't refused, that guy might have even sent a team to directly follow and help him catch the criminal.

The Lower District was completely different from other parts of the City of a Thousand Stars.

Everywhere you looked were groups of ragged people with no vitality in their eyes, like walking corpses.

They had all been Train Conductors once.

They abandoned their trains to enjoy stability and peace in the City of a Thousand Stars, but after spending all their money and unable to sustain luxurious living in the city, and because they abandoned their Train Conductor status, they faced restrictions everywhere once penniless, eventually becoming homeless caught in this Lower District to fend for themselves.

The two of them, cleanly dressed, stood out conspicuously in this Lower District.

Many eyes turned toward them—greed, desire, even schadenfreude in those gazes.

Clearly, they were being seen as new drifters.

Some people gradually gathered around.

As if treating the two as a couple of fat sheep.

"Really quite troublesome."

Looking around.

The number of people gathering had reached double digits.

They held clubs and weapons, their greedy eyes nauseating.

Continuing forward until the path ahead was completely blocked.

Staring at the several leering men before him, before they could speak.

A gunshot shattered the silence.

The barrel of the Sky Eagle emitted faint blue smoke.

A blood-red bullet hole appeared on the forehead of the leader.

Ye Qiyan coldly looked at the remaining people who were stunned stupid.

"Scram."

The path was cleared.

Stepping over that corpse.

Continuing toward the location agreed upon with Altos.

No resistance, no anger.

Even if they once had fighting spirit, it had long been completely worn away by the power of order.

"Should be just ahead now."

The location marked on the electronic map in the mailbox was right ahead.

Not going directly, but going to a high point instead, summoning the Raven Demon to go to the marked location on the map in his place, then activating Arrogance's god's-eye view to observe.

The coordinates pointed to a house.

The Raven Demon pushed open the large door with its wings, bending down to enter. The interior was filthy and disorderly, everywhere littered with severed limbs and sections of various monsters. Altos was using some method to stitch these corpses together.

Hearing the noise from outside, he turned to look, suddenly freezing when he saw the Raven Demon.

But he quickly remembered seeing this monster back at the Ancient Battlefield Ruins not long ago. Glancing behind the Raven Demon and not seeing Ye Qiyan, he couldn't help but knock on his own head.

"Truly worthy of being a big shot, so cautious."

He laughed twice, walking not far away and pulling out an oval-shaped object.

That was the device used to bind systems.

This room.

Was his locomotive section.
