Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Compared to the Heavenly Organization, Red Tears' matter was more important to him.

["I did tell you that, but the specific number of cards in all sequences was calculated by that charlatan Zhu Xingshu, so it might not be very accurate, right? Oh, I saw that bounty photo... is that Arrogance?"]

["Also, since you possess Arrogance, that means you've met that shut-in Menrojina who stays in her room studying magic all day?"]

Shut-in?

Was she really?

["Well, we met once or twice in Suoluo City."]

["Once or twice is fine, but don't get involved with her. Once you owe Menrojina a favor, even the most loyal person will inevitably find everything she wants and all the information she seeks. I don't really like her, especially her rituals—they're as boring as Zhu Xingshu's fate divinations."]

["But I have to admit, her intelligence network is impressive. Basically, there are very few powerful organizations without her informants. Oh, about the RUN Company matter you asked me before, I've found out some information, and it was Menrojina who provided the intel. I'll tell you more once I've completely figured it out."]

Shaya paused her words, seemingly hesitating about something.

["This is for you."]

Inside the email was a lollipop.

[Shaya's Gospel Lollipop (Level 10)]

[As long as you're alive, there's hope!]

["Never owe that woman a favor! If you're forced to owe her something, eat this lollipop—it can help you offset one cause and effect!"]

"......"

["Sister Shaya, thank you."]

["Hmph~ This is repayment for helping me break the seal~ Don't say thank you."]

He handed the lollipop to Eve to store in its medicine slot alongside the Healing Lollipops.

["Well, that's it? Contact me if you have anything else, and tell me if you encounter danger. Oh, what level is your train now? Let me guess... hmm... level six?"]

Shaya already thought she was guessing quite high.

Because even her own train's leveling speed only reached level six in the first month.

["Pretty much."]

["Oh, pretty much...? Hmm?"]

Shaya keenly detected the strangeness in Ye Qiyan's words.

What did he mean by "pretty much"?

This guy couldn't possibly be above level six, could he?

He was indeed above level six.

Even two levels above.

["...Forget it, I won't ask you anymore, you're just a freak..."]

["Oh, one last thing"]

["Don't buy randomly from your upgrade options—learn to make choices. The train's upgrade options occasionally provide selections based on the Train Coins you personally obtained. Remember to save up more."]

["Personally? What does that mean?"]

Ye Qiyan was somewhat confused.

["Literal meaning. Like those tax collectors in the cities—they have lots of Train Coins, right? But even if they give someone ten thousand Train Coins, the upgrade options after train leveling won't count that ten thousand as something you obtained yourself."]

["But if you use another method, like sincerely capturing me and sending me to the city to obtain Train Coins, then the train system would acknowledge it."]

["But if you play black eating white like we just discussed, even if you get those Train Coins, the train system won't refresh higher-value upgrade options because of them. This matter can't be explained in just a sentence or two—only people like Zhu Xingshu and Menrojina can somewhat understand it. You just need to roughly get the idea."]

["Oh, or let me put it in a more understandable way."]

["The train system will provide choices that can change your future based on the journeys you undertook before leveling up. So if you want to grow, you must keep moving forward and never stop."]

What kind of bizarre mechanism was this?

Could the train system really do such things?

No wonder...

Those city higher-ups clearly possessed so many Train Coins and had developed over so many years, yet their strength didn't completely overwhelm loose organizations like the Imperial Sequence Organization, and they weren't even opponents.

For a Train Conductor to truly become powerful, the best method was never buying and selling on the trading platform.

Instead, it was through exploring station worlds one after another to obtain items, and most importantly, purchasing train upgrade options.

Those who remained in the cities, no matter how many Train Coins they had, if they never moved forward, wouldn't be acknowledged by the train system.

["Well, I won't buy randomly."]

Of course he wouldn't buy randomly.

He was going to buy everything.

Whether Ye Qiyan's train upgraded or not never depended on material acquisition.

He only cared whether he had saved enough money.

After casually chatting a bit more, the conversation ended.

Inside the Night Angel, Shaya's face showed a pleased expression. Tina, who had been hiding in the corner peeking, ran over, stood on her tiptoes, and poked her cheek with a smile.

"Sister Nun, you were talking to big brother again! Next time, can you ask him to sell us some of those delicious fruits? You snatched and ate all the ones from last time."

"Who said I was talking to him? Ahem, go away, go away. I'm making candy—don't disturb me."

Shaya pinched Tina's little cheek, chewing the candy in her mouth. Beside her hand was the last White Forest Fruit.

"This fruit... forget it, I'll ask him to buy it next time."

————

After ending the conversation, Ye Qiyan waited a bit longer on the top floor, but still didn't see any trace of WALL-E, confirming his suspicion.

This treasure chest was indeed not the most precious treasure in this hotel.

[Abandoned Treasure Chest (Level 2→Level 7)]

A Level 2 station produced a treasure chest randomly ranging from Level 2 to Level 7.

And this randomness was personally set by An Yuankui's ghost.

This was remarkably similar to those blind box stores he saw online before.

For buyers, it's a blind box, but for sellers, it's simply a trash bin for clearing out inventory garbage.

A Level 7 station... shouldn't be this weak. At the very least, there should be a Level 7 opponent.

An Yuankui—that guy wasn't lying, but what he said wasn't the complete truth either.

The coordinates on the sand table pointed to him, and Eve's alert could sense his hostility, yet An Yuankui hadn't lied at all.

Then...

There was only one possibility.

"An Yuankui" wasn't just him alone.

Since this hotel had rules.

Then what about the rule maker?

Why could An Yuankui, who lost his train and couldn't use train modules, control this hotel full of anomalies?

Because the rule establisher was within his soul.

Bewitchment~

The Demon Card circled around Ye Qiyan.

Arrogance~

The two card sequences intertwined.

Carrying that treasure chest and the tablet computer inside it, Ye Qiyan returned to the second-floor room filled with monitors.

Seeing An Yuankui sitting before the screens, he entered, his bewitching voice intertwining with questioning.

"Who are you?"

"An Yuankui" trembled slightly.
