Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Chapter 211: New Level 8 Treasure Chest, Black Strings for Controlling Anomalies?

First floor.

Train platform.

Ye Qiyan didn't spend much time before returning here.

Lisette came forward, carrying a glass of iced coffee as she approached.

Before she could get close to Ye Qiyan, Red Tears standing beside him seemed to sense some danger and immediately drew her Tear-Engraving Sword.

Lisette's expression remained unchanged, but the spikes behind her transformed in response.

Hour, minute, second.

Three weapons of varying lengths materialized.

One mechanical lifeform, one demon—both belonging to Ye Qiyan yet displaying clear animosity toward each other in this moment.

Just as the two were about to clash.

"Stop."

Ye Qiyan extended his hand between them.

Red Tears hadn't met Lisette before, and her hostility stemmed solely from her ability to sense that the other possessed power that could threaten Ye Qiyan.

This power didn't just come from Lisette herself, but also from that spike behind her.

Ye Qiyan's intervention broke the tense confrontation.

Following his command, Red Tears sheathed her sword and stood by Ye Qiyan's side.

He took the iced coffee—it had milk and sugar added, just the way he liked it.

Lisette gently poked Ye Qiyan's shoulder, then pointed with her finger toward an empty area outside the train.

His gaze followed her direction.

Outside the train, a stove had been set up with food cooking on it.

Beside it were chairs for resting.

She had even hung some of the glowing gemstones Ye Qiyan collected earlier nearby, creating a strangely cozy atmosphere within this anomaly-filled hotel.

Ye Qiyan sat down.

Now, it was time to review his gains from this station.

First.

Was WALL-E.

It held out a plastic bag resembling one used for toiletries.

[Level 7 Treasure Chest (Can be opened)]

"Quite abstract..."

Without WALL-E, even if someone told him this was a treasure chest right to his face, Ye Qiyan felt he would have missed it due to its appearance.

Well, since he had a treasure chest, there was only one thing to do without question.

He pulled up his personal information, looking at the numbers displayed.

[Stamina: 155] [Spirit: 80]

The total stamina and spirit consumption for an 8-level treasure chest was 120 points.

His stamina consumption at this station wasn't significant, but his spirit had been depleted quite a bit due to using the Deceitplay Sword and activating Eve's overlimit mode.

But it was still enough to complete this sublimation.

No hesitation, no fear of danger.

With Red Tears and Lisette guarding him.

Even if another platform boss appeared, it couldn't harm him in the slightest.

Then, sublimation—

He murmured to himself.

Touched the treasure chest.

Azure blue light streams merged into the treasure chest before him.

Stamina and spirit began depleting, and soon, the sublimation was complete.

Everything proceeded as usual, unchanged.

[Level 8 Treasure Chest (Can be opened)]

"Open."

The bath-bag-like treasure chest was torn open.

A system interface appeared before his eyes, displaying the reward information from this treasure chest.

[Train Coins: 16]

[Blueprint: Human Grinder]

[Evil Eye Gemstone (Level 8)]

[Netherworld Long-Lasting Flower]

[Black Strings (Level 8)]

As usual, double the level in Train Coins, while the remaining four items were the rewards worth paying attention to.

Starting from the first one.

[Blueprint: Human Grinder]

[Requirements: 30 humans + 1000 mechanical parts + 800kg metal + 10kg wood + 10000ml human blood]

[Human Grinder: Can grind humans placed inside it]

"..."

This thing was rather disgusting.

He didn't consider himself a good person, but he wouldn't collect human lives just to create an item like this.

"Forget it, it's just a blueprint anyway. I'll try sublimating it later. If that doesn't work, I can just store it away, or not sublimate it and sell it instead?"

Ye Qiyan shook his head and continued looking.

[Evil Eye Gemstone (Level 8)]

[When equipped, can use Evil Eye Curse. Units hit by the curse will enter random weakened states for a period of time, with the effect determined by the user's spirit stat.]

[Note: This gemstone can replace human eyes for use.]

"Not bad."

Compared to the previous blueprint, this item was relatively much better.

Next.

[Netherworld Long-Lasting Flower]

[When planted, can transform soil in a certain area into nether soil during nighttime. Can collect flower sap periodically; consuming it enhances resistance to curses/anomalies.]

Another good item.

Although he didn't know what nether soil was yet, just the sap that could increase resistance was already quite valuable for a flower.

Now, the last one.

The final reward was an item.

It appeared as a black glove for the right hand.

[Black Strings]

[Can summon black strings by consuming spirit energy, can control low-level anomalies/urban legends/souls.]

[Note: Originally supposed to be black hair strands, but changed for unknown reasons]

This?

Interesting.

It was originally supposed to be black hair strands?

Like the hair used by that giant anomaly that possessed An Yuankui's body?

Because the treasure chest was sublimated, it became what it is now.

Ye Qiyan put on the black glove.

Consuming a bit of spirit energy, black strings materialized around his body out of thin air.

These strings couldn't really be called sturdy.

But, controlling anomalies?

The strings extended into the hotel, conveniently finding a lone anomaly on the first floor.

Before it could react.

The black strings directly pierced into its body.

Immediately, a game-like interface appeared before Ye Qiyan's eyes.

The black strings combined with each other, forming piano keys in front of him.

As his fingers pressed down, the black strings actually produced piano sounds.

The controlled anomaly's body twisted and deformed under his manipulation.

"Quite difficult, but seems interesting."

Ye Qiyan experimented for quite a while.

He even ordered Red Tears to capture several anomalies for testing before finally understanding some control methods.

Perfect control over anomalies required playing them like a piano.

Honestly, the item was good, but not really suitable for him.

"Not bad, but it can only control relatively low-level anomalies. It can't control slightly higher ones? Could be useful for clearing small fry."

Small fry referred to anomalies below level 8.

Taking off the glove, Ye Qiyan thought for a moment, then looked up at Lisette who had been watching him with a smile the entire time.

"Lisette, can you play the piano?"

Lisette blinked, then smiled and nodded.

As if responding to her.

Among her ordinary modules.

One more appeared.
