Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

[Waterproof Boots] (Level 1) [Tough Fishing Line] (Level 1) [Plant Nutrient Solution] (Level 1)

"So this is a Level 1 treasure chest..."

Ye Qiyan had never opened a Level 1 chest before. Getting one from Zhao Lin could be considered quite a lucky break.

"Hmm? This nutrient solution..."

The first two items weren't particularly useful, but the third one immediately caught his attention.

[Plant Nutrient Solution]

[Accelerates plant growth.]

Wasn't this exactly what he needed right now?

Even after undergoing sublimation, the White Forest Fruit tree still required nine full days to bear fruit. Only two days had passed since planting.

"Let's try sublimating it first."

[Stamina 95→85]

[Plant Nutrient Solution → High-Efficiency Plant Nutrient Solution]

[Greatly accelerates plant growth]

The effect remained largely the same, just with an "high-efficiency" prefix added.

Surprisingly, it hadn't exhausted its potential yet, meaning it could undergo further sublimation.

[Stamina 85→65]

[High-Efficiency Plant Nutrient Solution → Blessed Plant Elixir]

[Greatly accelerates plant growth]

Now its potential was exhausted. This time, more than just the prefix changed - the entire name transformed, though the effect remained unchanged.

Ye Qiyan hurried back to the temperature-controlled carriage's rear section and poured the elixir into the wooden box containing the White Forest tree.

Seconds later.

A white glow enveloped the wooden box.

The previously stunted sapling began growing rapidly upward, reaching the carriage ceiling in the blink of an eye, nearly breaking through.

Then, White Forest fruits began appearing on the branches at visible speed.

One, two... an endless stream of fruits emerged from the treetop.

Only when the milky white glow faded did the fruit growth finally stop.

Rubbing his eyes and pinching himself:

"Am I dreaming? It actually grew this much?"

Plucking a fruit, the familiar fragrance snapped him back to reality. He nearly took a bite before remembering the White Forest fruit's side effects.

[Blessed White Forest Tree] (Level 4)

[Produces three Blessed White Forest Fruits daily]

[Blessed White Forest Fruit] (Level 4)

[Can be consumed without processing. Restores stamina and mental energy while increasing hallucination resistance.]

The side effects were gone.

They could now be safely eaten without water soaking.

Ye Qiyan took a bite. Rich sweetness filled his nostrils - an indescribable deliciousness that made him crave more.

"Whew... is this what they call virtue rewarded?"

Sitting down, Ye Qiyan recalled Zhao Lin's talent.

"Or did I catch some of her good luck? Hmm... but there's bad luck too. Better not talk to her much at the next stop."

Harvesting the fruits yielded fifty-five in total, which he stored in special compartments to replace regular White Forest fruits for carrying.

Level 4 Blessed White Forest Fruits could restore stamina and mental energy - potentially lifesaving in critical moments.

As time passed, while others suffered in the tropical heat,

Ye Qiyan lounged comfortably in his 22°C climate-controlled carriage, enjoying barbecue and beer. The only downside? The beer wasn't cold.

"Should get a fridge when I get the chance."

30 minutes before arriving at the fifth stop,

The Crossroads of Fate prompt appeared before Ye Qiyan as scheduled.

[Crossroads of Fate triggered. Please choose between the following two stops]

[Stop 1: Abyssal Bat Cave (Level 4 Combat Stop)]

[Stop 2: Mystic Bell Town (Level 4 Mission Stop)]

"Both Level 4?"

Ye Qiyan wondered if he'd caught Zhao Lin's bad luck.

While he knew the train might upgrade stops by one level, having both Crossroads options at Level 4 was a first.

"Combat? Different name from previous Hunting stops - what's the difference?"

After some thought, Ye Qiyan decided caution was best.

At Level 4 stops, his equipment advantage would be minimal.

Moreover, the "Combat" label gave him an uneasy feeling.

"Choose Stop 2."

Having experienced two Mission stops already, he felt more confident. If dangers arose, he could always abandon the mission.

[Stop selection complete]

[Please remain seated as the train approaches the fifth stop...]

[Mystic Bell Town]

The countdown ticked closer to zero.

The train gradually accelerated.

Familiar void space appeared ahead.

When the countdown hit zero, the sunny world was replaced by darkness.

[Current Stop: Mystic Bell Town]

[Docking countdown: 4:59:59]

[Good luck]

[This stop: Danger!]

The train halted. Through the window, Ye Qiyan saw their surroundings.

"Is this... a station?"

It wasn't a rhetorical question - by all appearances, they'd stopped at an utterly ordinary train station with two tracks.

Nighttime. Light snow fell from the sky.

Following protocol, he first woke WALL-E.

Inserting one Train Coin.

[WALL-E, activate]

The little robot wobbled off the train. As Ye Qiyan prepared to disembark, approaching footsteps disrupted his plans.

Human? Or monster?

"Sir! Inspector! You've finally come!"

A young girl's voice carried across the empty platform to Ye Qiyan's ears.

Human.

Ye Qiyan kept his pistol ready.

The Judgment of Gunfire module let him calculate perfect firing solutions based solely on sound, without visual confirmation.

Then the voice's owner reached the train door.

"Huh? Where's the Inspector?"

A petite girl of about eleven or twelve, bundled in a white winter coat with knitted hat and scarf, stood on tiptoe peering into the train.

"Oh! The Inspector's right here!"

Spotting Ye Qiyan, she waved enthusiastically.

"Inspector, please come out! Everyone's been waiting so very long!"

Inspector? Everyone?

Hesitating briefly, Ye Qiyan opened the door.

If this girl posed any threat, either the Warning Device or Pure Earthbound Stone would react.

"Little one, what's your name?"

The girl blinked big azure eyes, answering cheerfully with childlike innocence:

"Inspector, I'm Tina! Sister Nun said a train-riding Chief Inspector would come save us! Everyone's waited sooo long! Hehe, Sister didn't lie - the Inspector really came!"
