Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

"It's so expensive..."

Ye Qiyan felt he had somewhat underestimated the final product of the GT series.

Or rather, underestimated the price of advanced electronic components.

He originally thought spending just over sixty Train Coins would be enough to buy all the materials.

Everything else was manageable, as the resources he collected were nearly sufficient.

Only these advanced electronic components were problematic.

Although available on the trading platform, their prices were wildly unstable.

In the end, he actually spent a full one hundred Train Coins to purchase all five hundred advanced electronic components.

Adding in the Mind Magic Cube and other materials,

"No wonder the Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon blueprint can't be replicated... Both are machines, but the manufacturing materials for the Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon are just a drop in the bucket compared to this."

All the purchased advanced electronic components were placed by Ye Qiyan into the vacant storage units.

Once back on the train, manufacturing could begin.

"Tomorrow... everything should go smoothly, right."

Ding ding—

Night fell.

This time, Ye Qiyan had found a private hot spring and vaguely heard notification sounds by his ear in his drowsy state.

Perhaps he had soaked for too long, making his brain feel dizzy.

Casually opening the system interface, he rubbed his eyes, saw the name clearly, and opened the chat interface.

Zhao Lin: ["Brother Qiyan, here, this is repayment for saving me last time."]

It was Zhao Lin, she still remembered what happened in Ten Cangmi City last time.

Eight Train Coins deposited.

Her luck must have accumulated quite a bit, allowing her to find treasure chests at the last station.

["Returning two to you."]

When collecting life-saving fees from Zhao An and others before, Zhao Lin also paid, since if others paid but she didn't, it would only breed suspicion and dissatisfaction.

["By the way, when you have time, you can come to Suoluo City, the Tribunal has monthly stipends to collect, though I don't know how much your rank can receive."]

["Really? Then I'll go tomorrow!"]

Tomorrow?

Ye Qiyan became more alert, thinking slightly.

["Not tomorrow."]

["Okay, I understand, then some other time."]

She didn't ask why not tomorrow—since Ye Qiyan said so, surely something would happen in Suoluo City tomorrow.

The chat ended.

Ye Qiyan once again submerged his body in the water.

He liked this feeling.

————

Suoluo City, second level, top floor of the highest building.

Menrojina, dragging her weary body, sat in the executive chair, staring blankly at a ritual card in her hand.

"Really... took quite some time... how long was it? Three months..."

She had stayed at one station for three months.

Returning to the wasteland, only a day or two had passed.

During these three months, she encountered significant trouble.

If not for someone's help, it would have been truly difficult to obtain this ritual card.

Because to acquire a card sequence, not only do you need to find it, but you also need to spend considerable time finding the key to unlock the seal.

Finding the key took a full three months.

"Should properly thank that petite Grand Judge, hehe..."

"The City of Eternal Night wants to attack Suoluo City... really strange, where exactly do they get their confidence?"

"But that Grand Judge really has quite impressive modules, actually able to forcibly synchronize time flow rates between stations with different flow rates than the wasteland and communicate. Without her, probably would have searched much longer."

Menrojina stared blankly at the ritual card in her hand.

"Still missing, the final two..."

The staff sword twisted slightly.

Including the one in her hand, eight ritual cards circled around her.

Removing that causality card.

The chains on it faintly shimmered.

"Brother Ye... to repay his karma, still so much... how to continue repaying? If this karma ritual can be completed, might even get the coordinates for the next ritual card, hehe."

[Ritual Card·Karma Repayment]

[Causality: Owe Cause, Repay Effect]

[Ritual: Repayment Brings Reward]

Knock knock—

Knocking sounds came from outside the door.

A blue-skinned girl entered.

"What's wrong, little Annie?"

The girl blinked, placing a document sealed with flowing strange runes before her.

"Sister, someone sent this while you were away."

After speaking, Annie turned and left.

Menrojina picked up the document, tapped it with her staff sword, and the runic seal disappeared.

The text on it now appeared.

["Suoluo City Inspectorate and Suoluo City Mayor have reached an agreement to curse Grand Judge Zhao Xi when the City of Eternal Night attacks Suoluo City, ensuring her defeat. The curse will be cast by curse card sequence holder Camelin Garlo."]

["This is the final message. Your ritual has been fulfilled. This message sufficiently repays the cost of that ritual. Henceforth, no more messages from within Suoluo City will be conveyed. From now on, we have no further connection."]

"......"

"This is really..."

Menrojina's fingers lightly tapped the desk.

"Should I tell that petite Grand Judge? But... would she believe it? Betrayed by the respected Mayor..."

After long contemplation.

Menrojina lightly tapped the air, holding the newly obtained ritual card in her hand.

[Ritual Card·Human Past]

[Past: Exchange Cost for Others' Past]

[Ritual: Use Past to Gain Your Attention]

Taking out fifteen Train Coins, they transformed into points of light under the ritual card's power, then the light points formed into a screen, where she input a line of text.

[Suoluo City Grand Judge, Zhao Xi]

"Let me see what she did today. Perfect timing to test this new card sequence."

After some operations, images appeared on the screen.

"Hmm?"

The footage showed Zhao Xi wearing a dress while buying plush toys during the day.

But that wasn't the main point.

The key was beside Zhao Xi—a completely indistinct figure, even evoking an inexplicable feeling of "how dare I gaze upon this person," caught Menrojina's attention.

If it were anyone else, they certainly wouldn't guess who it was.

But Menrojina, having once possessed it, clearly knew only one thing could remain hidden under the ritual card's power.

"Arrogance? Huh? Brother Ye? How is he with Zhao Xi? And... this Grand Judge actually likes... plush toys?"

"Really strange."

Before she could continue watching, a message appeared before her.

The sender was Zhu Xingshu.

"Tch..."

["Gina~ Fate tells me~ Something very interesting will happen in the City of Eternal Night~ This matter relates to curses, so tomorrow, we'll hold a not-so-long-awaited group activity, you must come participate~"]

"Really... disgusting..."

Menrojina's grip on the staff sword tightened continuously, her eyes filled with coldness.

["None of my business."]

["~No matter, you'll definitely participate~"]

["You really deserve to die."]

["Heehee, thanks for the compliment~"]

In the astrological platform, Zhu Xingshu cheerfully tapped the screen.

Completely unaware that the black misfortune stored in her transparent bottle was gradually growing.

Misfortune·Non-conservation.

Even when separated, it doesn't mean it will stop increasing.

No one noticed, nor could they possibly notice.

The transparent bottle developed an extremely fine crack.

Faint black energy seeped out.
