Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 155: Young People with PotentialThis station was indeed as ordinary as the system had judged.
Ye Qiyan returned to his own train. The remaining docking time was still a full ten hours.
The Raven demon made round trips between the city and the train using the burlap sack.
Apart from metal and wood, the most abundant resources collected were Orc skulls and various types of animal hides, obtained after the corpses were recycled through the Processing Station Ye Qiyan had placed there.
"Brother, this is the headquarters coordinates. When you return to headquarters, you must look me up! I'll treat you to drinks!"
Russell's docking time had ended.
He wasn't like Ye Qiyan, able to purchase all the upgraded options. As a Level 7 train, his docking time was only six hours.
However, he still had a one-hour Early Departure Privilege, meaning he could leave the platform in just five hours. For a Train Conductor with insufficient strength, this was actually a good thing.
Before he left, Ye Qiyan used his power of persuasion to obtain the RUN Company headquarters coordinates from him, along with more information about that company.
Recently, RUN Company had been targeted by an unknown entity. The replacement authority cubes placed in many low-level stations had been forcibly erased, and even the company's internal core information storage had been stolen several times.
Rumors spread within the company that there was a spy, causing widespread panic.
That was why the female boss was anxiously sending people like him to tentatively enter stations from Level 4 to Level 7, trying to compensate for the losses in the low-level stations.
Russell was very grateful to that female boss, completely unaware that if he had insisted on placing that cube at this station, facing that Orc Great Demon, the only path awaiting him would have been death.
Or perhaps, that female boss precisely wanted to use the lives of native Train Conductors like Russell to exchange for replacement authority.
That person is indeed exploiting these natives.
This aligns quite well with Ye Qiyan's understanding of what a Train Conductor is.
In a way, if he were in her position, he'd probably do something similar.
But, a spy? Stealing information?
Why does this method feel somewhat familiar?
Menrojina?
He remembered back in Suoluo City, he had mentioned RUN Company to Menrojina. At the time, she seemed very curious and excited. It's highly possible this is her handiwork.
"Moving really fast... Is it the power of the Ritual Cards?"
Ye Qiyan pondered this internally, but on his face, he wore a smile as he said to Russell:
"After you return, don't mention me to anyone either. I'm carrying out a mission assigned by the boss. For this mission, even the boss used some means to erase the memory from her own mind, just to avoid exposure. I won't tell you what the mission is, but right now, the only people who know about this are you and me. Do you understand?"
Russell's eyes instantly reddened.
He nodded hurriedly, clutching his chest, deeply moved.
"Don't worry, Brother Zhuxing! I will absolutely not tell anyone else that I saw you here!"
Actually, whether he told others or not was somewhat irrelevant.
After all, Ye Qiyan was using Zhu Xingshu's name.
Zhu Xingshu had become quite famous recently in the train world.
Led by the City of a Thousand Stars and Suoluo City, a bounty of 50,000 Train Coins had been placed on her.
No wonder even Shaya wanted to capture Zhu Xingshu for the reward.
If he could, Ye Qiyan would like to do the same.
But, that's just a thought.
There's a similar bounty on Shaya for 100,000 Train Coins, with the goal being her execution.
However, if Shaya were so easy to kill, she wouldn't have merely been sealed away back then.
Similarly, if Zhu Xingshu were so easy to catch, she wouldn't command such a high bounty.
The bounties are really just for show.
Ye Qiyan added Russell as a friend. The system allowed him to hide his name or change it specifically for others.
He directly chose to hide it, the reason being, he used that "special mission" excuse again.
Russell didn't understand much about missions or not; he only knew he had received the care and trust of a senior. Returning to his train and after departing, he looked at the nameless entity in his friends list with fiery eyes.
His mind echoed with the last words the senior said to him before departure.
"You have great potential. The future of the company rests on you."
These words acted like a stimulant, making Russell completely unable to calm down.
A long time later, the sound of a message notification finally brought him back to some semblance of rationality.
Opening the light screen and seeing the word "Boss" on it, he hurriedly read it.
["Boss! I've already placed the cube in the station!"]
At the same time, at RUN Company headquarters.
With heavy, dark circles under her eyes, the female boss of RUN Company rubbed her temples, frowning as she looked at Russell's reply on the light screen.
"He didn't die? Didn't the information about that station say it was the territory of an Orc Great Demon? Strange."
She had sent Russell to place the cube precisely because she valued his loyalty. As long as the task was given, even if he realized it meant his death, he would definitely find a way to complete it.
Therefore, after several hours had passed, seeing Russell's avatar still lit up, she sent him a message out of puzzlement.
Unexpectedly, he succeeded?
After thinking for a moment, the woman moved her fingers. On the train, a new light screen unfolded before Russell.
The woman's image appeared on it.
"Boss!"
Having seen both his senior and the boss in a single day, Russell felt he was about to fly from excitement.
"You've done very well, truly worthy of being the newcomer I've had my eye on. Can you tell me how you managed it?"
"I... uh... just, just did it! Luck, just good luck."
Russell initially wanted to say the name "Zhu Xingshu," but suddenly remembered what the senior had said and quickly changed his words.
"Luck..."
The woman seemed to fall into some kind of thought. After a long while, she showed Russell a kind smile.
"You've done well, hehe, the company needs promising young people like you. I'll be waiting for you at the company. When you return, there will be a reward for you."
The communication ended, and the smile instantly vanished from the woman's face.
"Luck...... Tell me, all these years I haven't been able to find the next fragment of the Blasphemy Card, is it just because I lack a bit of luck?"
The person in the shadows did not speak.
"Hmph, so finally, out of the natives I sent out, how many succeeded in placing the boxes?"
The person in the shadows finally spoke.
"Twelve. Only six survived, including Russell just now."
The woman frowned, her face full of resentment.
"Tch... So useless, these natives. Damn it, if I hadn't arrived in this world too late and couldn't build my own city, why would I need to rely on these guys...."
