Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Looking at the Deceitplay Sword in his hand that emitted an ominous purple aura, Ye Qiyan decisively threw it into the black market.

The black market had previously appraised it at thirty Train Coins, and this time was no different.

However, the black market customer service had mentioned before that items capable of affecting mental energy were relatively precious.

So Ye Qiyan adjusted its price to forty.

Although the price increased, the transaction speed didn't decrease.

Shortly after listing it, the Deceitplay Sword was purchased.

"So fast? Is this sword really that useful?"

After the black market deducted a two-coin service fee, thirty-eight Train Coins remained.

At this moment, the black market interface didn't automatically close but instead displayed a new notification screen.

"I remember I've sold quite a few things in the black market, and I'm only level three?"

He hadn't paid much attention before, but the black market's membership level was much harder to increase than he had imagined.

Ye Qiyan suddenly remembered something—he recalled the customer service saying that at level three, he could purchase special items for upgrading trains.

He performed a search.

Sure enough, he found Flame Stones, Calculation Units, as well as the special level 5 to 6 upgrade item he hadn't noticed before—Fenggu Yuan Diamond, and the Storage Array for the next level.

"Only these?"

["Higher-level upgrade items require higher membership levels to purchase~"]

The customer service's response left Ye Qiyan somewhat speechless.

The upgrade items in the black market were indeed precious, but for ordinary Train Conductors wanting to purchase upgrades, never mind how to obtain the black market invitation card in the first place—just reaching membership level three would be quite difficult.

After all, if Train Coins were used elsewhere, the upgrade options you could afford would correspondingly decrease.

"Kinda underwhelming... only one purchase per person per month? Don't want them being resold? But the price isn't as expensive as I imagined."

A single Flame Stone in the black market cost twenty-five Train Coins, slightly less than the thirty he had previously sold to Shangguan Yingxue.

Looking at it this way, was he actually more ruthless than the black market?

"Whatever, I don't need this stuff anyway."

Perhaps buying items here and reselling them among Train Conductors from his same batch could earn him some Train Coins.

But the profit wasn't that high, and it would attract unnecessary trouble.

Most people from that batch had now joined various guilds.

If he sold upgrade materials, those who bought them might be fine, but who knew if those who missed out would hold grudges and report the matter.

People's hearts are separated by layers of flesh—Ye Qiyan's trust had boundaries that were difficult to break.

Hanging Gardens, Adjudication Department.

A man wearing a white suit uniform was processing documents.

A light knocking sound came from outside the office.

"Enter."

A woman in secretary attire walked in, approached him, and said respectfully:

"Boss, Sun Li is dead, killed by someone else. We saw his weapon reappear in the black market."

The Hanging Gardens Adjudication Department served the same function in this sky-borne city as the Tribunal in Suoluo City.

The difference was that in Hanging Gardens, no voice existed besides theirs.

The man set down the documents, his expression showing little change.

The female secretary seemed accustomed to his attitude and continued:

"We previously performed brain modification on him, making him believe he was a member of the Imperial Sequence Organization, intending to use him as a causality beacon to locate their base. In theory, his abilities shouldn't have encountered any problems in stations below level eight."

"But..."

The female secretary took a sword from her bracelet—precisely the Deceitplay Sword Ye Qiyan had placed in the black market.

"This weapon is a mental energy weapon purchased from the black market. It just reappeared in the black market, meaning Sun Li was killed by someone else. This is the final image from his memory that we obtained through cognitive coordinates."

A light screen appeared.

The image on it was extremely blurry, making it impossible to identify the killer.

"This is strange. In theory, the beacon we placed in Sun Li's brain should have transmitted the station coordinates when he died, and the final image shouldn't be like this either. Unless... some other force intervened and instantly killed Sun Li with absolutely overwhelming power."

"The only information we could obtain is this."

She handed over a file folder.

Opening it revealed the death report for the man named Sun Li.

The report was incomplete, with most parts distorted into bizarre text by some unknown force.

Only one line could be vaguely deciphered.

[He was subjected to Guilt of the Innocent]

"Tribunal people."

The man finally spoke his first words.

"Yes, boss. The person who killed Sun Li is likely from the Tribunal. Only Grand Judge Zhao Xi can distribute the Module that forcibly imposes Guilt of the Innocent on others..."

The man lit a cigarette and held it in his hand.

"That woman has already left Suoluo City and entered the Wasteland. Her Tribunal is already in name only. Send people to check their base and gather information on all Judges in the Tribunal. Since it happened at a level seven station, the person who killed Sun Li should be a Train Conductor who entered the Wasteland three or six years ago. Use that as the basis to find them."

The female secretary hesitated slightly.

"Three years ago? But... recently, a new batch of Train Conductors entered the Wasteland. Should we..."

The man raised his hand to stop her from continuing.

"Are you suggesting someone could reach a level seven station in just one month? And also be capable of killing Sun Li?"

"Indeed... you're right, boss. After all, Sun Li's strength was decent. How could anyone grow enough to defeat him so easily in just one month, even with these two Tribunal Modules.

Not to mention, there's also this sword."

The man waved his hand, dismissing the secretary.

She quickly left the office and closed the door.

Leaving him alone.

The cigarette in his hand never reached his lips.

When it burned out, he opened the system's light screen, looked at the name at the very bottom of the chat interface, his eyes flickering with disgust, hatred, and resentment.

[Menrojina]

He sent a message.

[Hanging Gardens has dispatched many people to Suoluo City. The first target is Zhao Xi's Tribunal. Also, the materials you asked me to find for crafting equipment and Magic Potions will be delivered to Suoluo City with the supplies these people carry. This is the second-to-last task. I will soon repay the price of that ritual!]
