Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 159: I became a thief and stole the wrong thing~["So according to what you're saying, will the next station also be a Luck Platform?"]
["I'm not sure. Since I haven't entered the next station yet, I can't be too certain..."]
["Well, we'll figure it out at the next station then."]
["Ah, speaking of the next station, Brother Qiyan, someone named Zhao An asked about you, and he even invited me to join some kind of mutual aid guild?"]
So they've already reached out to Zhao Lin?
That makes sense. Among the Train Conductors in this Sector, Zhao Lin should be considered one of the top tier.
["Did you join?"]
["No, but he invited me to participate in a cooperative Level 4 station, and I agreed."]
["That's good. Just remember not to reveal your talent. But didn't I give you the item to upgrade to Level 5?"]
That's reasonable. Zhao Lin didn't get a treasure chest at the last station, combined with the expenses in the City of a Thousand Stars, being broke is actually normal.
The two chatted for a few more moments before closing the chat interface.
Zhao Lin wasn't really worried about any problems arising from participating in that cooperative Level 4 station. Even if she hadn't accumulated enough luck by the next station, at the very least, she wouldn't encounter misfortune.
"I wonder if my next station can be a Level 8 station. If the Crossroads of Fate still shows Level 7... there must be some other rule at play."
Ye Qiyan pondered silently for a while, leaning back against the bedside and gazing at the ceiling above.
"Speaking of which, I feel particularly idle today..."
"Maybe go back to sleep for a while?"

Suoluo City.
The very top of a certain skyscraper.
Sitting in her boss chair, Menrojina, who had swapped to a white mask, looked smilingly at the woman before her.
In her field of vision, she could see that the other person's body was enveloped in a layer of eerie black energy.
This energy had even obscured the original light of destiny that radiated from her.
Only scattered starlight could contend against this energy.
"Well~ what wind blows you here, our organization leader, holder of the Blasphemy Card Astrolabe~ Charlatan Lady, Zhu Xingshu, to my little place? Hehe~ And, stay away from me, I don't want to be contaminated by that stuff on you."
Zhu Xingshu chuckled sheepishly, not minding Menrojina's sarcastic tone.
She familiarly sat down opposite, spreading her hands across the desk.
"Oh come on, you know me, you know why I'm here~"
"Hehe~ How would I know what you want from me? Besides, you've been quite famous lately. Tell me, what method did you use to steal that Order Card from the City of a Thousand Stars? Even though it's Sloth, meaning no one could guard it nearby, that central gate's Permission Card was lost years ago. Not even the City of a Thousand Stars' own people can open it."
Hearing this, the smile instantly froze on Zhu Xingshu's face.
She looked dismayed and hurriedly explained.
"It really wasn't me! How could I have that capability? I didn't go to the City of a Thousand Stars to steal that card! You have to believe me."
"Hehe."
Menrojina just chuckled. Clearly, she didn't believe her.
This charlatan had told too many lies. Did this current act seem genuine?
No way. It wasn't like she hadn't put on an even more pitiful act to deceive people before.
And Menrojina happened to be one of those deceived back then, so she would absolutely not believe a single word this charlatan said.
"Alright, I know you don't believe me..."
Zhuingshu sighed helplessly. She understood the story of the boy who cried wolf.
"Ahem, forget it. Never mind that. How about... you help me? Help me use a Ritual Card to get rid of this bad luck on me? I really can't take it anymore..."
After leaving the City of a Thousand Stars, she happened to need to enter a station world. In that world, she found it extremely difficult to make any progress.
As soon as she arrived, her train was destroyed by a meteor. Then, the monsters in that world, for some unknown reason, all came chasing after her.
Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't be afraid of these monsters.
But unable to hear the voice of fate, combined with being plagued by misfortune, Zhu Xingshu didn't dare to stay long. She barely managed to escape by relying on the Astrolabe and the Modules she possessed, running for a full day.
Misfortune was truly terrifying.
The only silver lining was that after leaving, the power of the misfortune seemed to have diminished considerably.
Otherwise, she felt that upon entering Suoluo City this time, there was an eighty percent chance she would run into that short-statured Grand Judge.
As one of the culprits whose theft of the Order Card nearly caused that golden Mr. Order to destroy Suoluo City, that Judge would definitely not let her off.
"Hehe, among my Ritual Cards, what could possibly remove misfortune? You'd better find another solution."
Tap~
Zhu Xingshu took out a crystal ball and placed it in front of Menrojina.
"The coordinates to a Ritual Card! I know you only need the final three cards to complete your collection. Use this in exchange for helping me once."
To be honest, Menrojina really didn't want to help her.
But just as Zhu Xingshu said, her Ritual Card collection only lacked the final three cards to be complete.
For these three, she had been searching for five years without finding a trace of any of them.
Such was the nature of Card Sequences.
All collectors find it increasingly difficult as they approach a complete collection.
"How long have you had these coordinates?"
Menrojina gazed intently at Zhu Xingshu.
"Or rather, how many more do you have on you? If it weren't for your current... condition, were you planning to hide them from me forever?"
The Staff-Sword leaning nearby trembled slightly, with several Ritual Cards hovering above it.
Zhu Xingshu quickly shook her head, knowing that no matter what she said, the other wouldn't believe her. She pulled out the Astrolabe, pointed it towards the sky, and spoke helplessly:
"Just the location of this one, really. If I'm lying, I'll never utter the word 'fate' again, okay? As for the time... uh... roughly, I happened to find it about six years ago~"
"..."
The Staff-Sword stopped trembling. Menrojina gently stroked the crystal ball, then after a long moment, sighed.
"Just this once. However, I also want you to tell me, where did this misfortune on you come from?"
"...It's just... I acted like a thief, but stole the wrong thing..."
"Oh, I see. So, you did steal that Order Card after all. You got this misfortune because you stole that Order Card? Hehe~ Serves you right."
"....."
What could she say?
Zhu Xingshu suddenly felt an impulse to just blurt out the truth, but she didn't dare.
Because it seemed that whenever she mentioned the original owner of this misfortune, it would become even more intense than before.
What was this supposed to mean? Was this misfortune talent missing its original owner?
