Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

How could it be her?

An event?

Wasn't this charlatan's event just about organizing people to snatch card sequences using various methods?

He really didn't want to get involved in that kind of thing.

["Not going, not interested, I have things to do."]

["Sigh, I knew Brother Ye would answer me like that. You're already the fifth person to refuse me. Really now, I am after all the leader of the organization, ignoring me like this is just too much! But..."]

Zhu Xingshu's tone suddenly shifted.

["Others aren't going because I can't offer them suitable rewards~ But Brother Ye, you're different~"]

Immediately, her tone changed.

"......"

A Demon Card, existing in the Hanging Gardens?

Ye Qiyan noted this information.

Then.

["Not going."]

["...Huh? Wh-why?"]

The charlatan's tone instantly vanished, replaced by a rare astonishment from Zhu Xingshu.

This wasn't right. In her eyes, when card sequence holders heard about sequences they were collecting, they should pounce on them desperately like hungry wolves spotting a fat sheep, firmly seizing control.

Why didn't he have that kind of reaction?

["I have other important matters to attend to. Thank you for telling me that Demon Card is in the Hanging Gardens. When I have the chance, I'll find a way to obtain it. As for participating in organizational activities, let's forget about that. Find someone else."]

If Zhu Xingshu had said there was a Blasphemy Card there, Ye Qiyan would of course have gone without hesitation to try his luck—maybe he'd get it?

But if it was just a Demon Card...

Indeed, he really wanted it too, but there was no need to help Zhu Xingshu offend people for it.

This charlatan's ability to cause trouble was quite remarkable.

During this time in the organization, both Suoluo City and the City of a Thousand Stars had suffered varying degrees of destruction due to Zhu Xingshu's direct or indirect actions.

Going to the Hanging Gardens again, Ye Qiyan had a premonition that the outcome there probably wouldn't be much better either.

Looking at the reply on the light screen, Zhu Xingshu pondered quietly for a moment, closed her eyes, then opened them again.

Stars drifted within her pupils.

The voice of fate quietly arrived.

"Is the reward not enough? If it didn't move him... hmm..."

["No need to rush. Fate tells me that your appearance in this event would be quite special."]

["I should be more unlucky than usual right now, so, really not coming? You might even get to see where I die, you know?"]

Her latter remark clearly restored her usual erratic personality.

Needing his presence?

Why?

Ye Qiyan really didn't think his strength was greater than anyone else's in the organization.

Then, it could only be his unique power.

Sublimation?

Or perhaps...

The Anchor?

["I'm not that dark to specifically want to watch you go to your death. Wasn't the misfortune sealed in a bottle? How are you unlucky again?"]

["Released it. Borrowed some luck from a senior to offset a bit of it, hehe."]

["..."]

["This time it's really borrowed! Heaven's Unequal Exchange isn't with me~ I paid quite a price for it, ahem, so, coming?"]

["Not interested."]

Refused once again, Zhu Xingshu fell into brief silence.

"Hmm... Just a Demon Card isn't enough to move him, huh? Sigh, I wanted to try and figure out what exactly Brother Ye's Blasphemy Card is while we're there."

["Well, I understand. Then... let's leave it at that for now."]

The conversation ended.

She picked up a pill and tossed it into her mouth.

The nearly solidified aura of misfortune was suppressed by a new power.

"Phew... Hanging Gardens, there's a divine presence there. Although with the Astrolabe it's not really scary, hmm, no big deal~"

"Let's find someone else then."

Scrolling up the friends list.

Zhu Xingshu's chat partner changed from Ye Qiyan to Shaya.

["Hey~ Want to join an event? We might just kill the 'god' at the Hanging Gardens, you know!"]

————

RUN Company, headquarters.

Russell, who had briefly met Ye Qiyan back at Orc Great Demon City, was now standing nervously before the desk in the boss's office, watching the woman with heavy dark circles and dead fish eyes before him.

The boss of RUN Company, Louisa.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a diplomatic mission. Although it concerns our company's future in the wasteland, if we can secure a foothold in the current Suoluo City, we might achieve fairer treatment for native beings."

"But like I said, don't be nervous. Go prepare properly. I believe in you."

Russell's eyes shone with excitement.

Moved, he bowed deeply toward Louisa.

"Boss! I'll go prepare everyone to depart immediately. Thank you for your trust. We will definitely help the company secure a position for us natives in Suoluo City!"

With that, he jogged away.

In the spacious office.

Louisa calmly drank a cup of bitter instant coffee.

From the shadows beside her, a man's voice drifted over quietly.

"Boss, you haven't left the company's base for many years. This time, are you really going out? And bringing that Blasphemy Card fragment too?"

Finishing the coffee in one gulp, Louisa's fingertip had the Blasphemy Card fragment floating above it.

"Have to give it a try. So many Blasphemy Card fragments have appeared recently. It should be my turn to find one too."

"After this Suoluo City trip, I'm going to venture into the wasteland and start adventuring. Before that, let's sell these obedient natives for a good price. That place is about to descend into internal strife. Using them to exchange for a seat in Suoluo City's future council—what's not to like?"

"Wishing you success."

——

The next day.

As the sun rose.

Ye Qiyan had already made his choice for the twenty-fifth stop.

"Going to Suoluo City again, hah. This is really something. Even though the first city I entered was the City of a Thousand Stars, now the place I visit most is there."

"Feels like every time I go to Suoluo City, lots of troublesome things happen. Hmm... This time it's just to obtain the magic potion, probably nothing will happen, right?"

With that thought.

The platform selection was complete.

Following the system prompt.

[Your twenty-fifth stop is]

[Suoluo City]

[Crossroads of Fate triggered]

[Please choose one of the following two entry options.]

[Option 1: Main Gate]

[Option 2: Suoluo City Tribunal, the unknown blank station]

Huh?

Ye Qiyan looked at the second option with some confusion.

Unknown?

How could something in the Tribunal be unknown?

Not to mention Menrojina, that petite Grand Judge Zhao Xi.

Could she possibly not know about it?

"I choose the second one."

No matter what.

Since it's in the Tribunal, it would save him a lot of travel time.

"Get the magic potion, leave immediately, absolutely won't cause any trouble!"

He thought to himself.

The void appeared, the train accelerated, all in one smooth motion.

Entering station—

Twenty-fifth stop, Suoluo City.

He was here again.

This time, absolutely no trouble!
