Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

The next morning.

A series of crisp sounds woke Ye Qiyan from his peaceful slumber.

He looked out the window.

An unending torrential downpour filled his vision.

"Is this a severe rainstorm?"

"The weather today really isn't very good."

He casually summoned the public chat room's light screen.

Seeing people discussing this severe rainstorm, Ye Qiyan shook his head but didn't pay it much mind.

Since people were discussing it, that meant this wasn't some special weather exclusive to high-level Train Conductors.

"Since I'm already awake, I should start today's sublimation."

There were two targets for sublimation.

The first was the level 8 treasure chest that WALL-E brought back.

The second was the [Random (Level 8) Steam Machinery Exchange Coupon] obtained after completing the station mission.

Comparatively, the former was more important.

Taking the rusty toolbox-like level 8 treasure chest that Lisette handed him.

Ye Qiyan suddenly noticed Red Tears standing by the train window, silently gazing up at the sky.

She seemed to really like rainy days?

Not disturbing her, he refocused his attention on the treasure chest.

Touch, talent activation.

Familiar flowing light poured into the treasure chest.

His restored physical strength and mental energy began to drain at the same moment.

[Physical: 170→100] [Mental: 210→80]

Still two hundred points total, same as last time.

[Level 8 Treasure Chest → Refined Level 8 Treasure Chest]

"Still just refined after all, huh~ Let me see what treasures I can get this time."

Opening the rusty toolbox.

The system's light screen immediately appeared before his eyes.

[Treasure Chest successfully opened! Contents as follows!]

[Train Coins: 32 coins]

[Train Armament · Friendly Mine]

[Mechanism · Repair Wrench (Level 8)]

[Nano Ordinary Data Chain (Level 8)]

The same three rewards, but different this time was that the treasure chest contained two level 8 items.

"Huh? This data chain... why does it look so familiar?"

Ye Qiyan slightly frowned, taking out a blueprint from the drawer by his bed.

[Nanite Swarm Modification Device Blueprint (Level 10)]

[Requires: ...... Nano Limit Data Chain]

"Nano Limit, and Nano Ordinary?"

"This thing... if I sublimate it, would it become the limit version?"

Ye Qiyan rubbed his chin, feeling quite curious.

[Nano Ordinary Data Chain (Level 8)]

[Material used for creating nano-mechanical devices]

"That should be it. The Nano Beehive is level 10, meaning if I want to sublimate this thing, I'd need to perform sublimation twice, and only after my own talent completes the next stage of sublimation."

"Where exactly can I find something to increase my physical limit? I can only rely on luck."

[Train Armament · Friendly Mine]

[Consume 1 (×) 0 (√) Train Coin to deploy special mines near the train. These mines will not cause any negative effects like damage/destruction to allies.

Performs friendly bombardment on any unit contacting the train, dealing massive damage while applying Vulnerable effect, increasing damage taken by 10%.

Can deploy up to 40 mines at once. Mines self-destruct after train departs.]

This thing...

Why does it feel like a completely downgraded version of the Sentinel Guard? And it still requires consuming Train Coins.

Although with his Major Consumption Reduction he doesn't need to consume any.

"Trying it out will tell."

Extract, equip.

On both sides of his train's locomotive wheels, two pale golden light spheres appeared.

As Ye Qiyan activated Major Consumption Reduction.

Dark golden light points merged into these two light spheres, followed by golden mines being thrown out one after another.

He stopped Eve from attacking the surrounding chasing monsters.

He even specifically activated the Wasteland Rest Module to slow the train down, allowing monsters to catch up.

Under the severe rainstorm weather, water demons and various aquatic monsters surged over.

The moment they contacted the mines, explosions occurred.

Causing no effect to the train whatsoever.

But for those monsters, they were directly blasted into monster fragments.

"The power is decent, not bad for protecting the train."

Eve was no longer just a Sentinel Guard, and with its capabilities, Ye Qiyan couldn't keep it stationed on the train forever.

When it's not around, deploying a few mines for protection might unexpectedly prove effective.

After releasing the mines and hiding them, the two golden light spheres disappeared.

That left only the final reward from the treasure chest.

[Mechanism · Repair Wrench (Level 8)]

[Mechanical-specific armament. When equipped, triggers damage management effect upon taking any damage, continuously performing self-repair. When equipped by mechanical lifeforms, they can consume mental energy to accelerate recovery.]

This is actually pretty good equipment.

For the mechanical beings under Ye Qiyan's command now, basically anyone could use it.

But Ye Qiyan had already decided who to give it to.

"The Hunt."

High in the sky, the Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon broke through the clouds and descended to the human realm.

It coiled atop the train, its mechanical dragon roar causing surrounding monsters to faint.

"Level 8 item, can undergo one more sublimation."

Flowing light emerged, sublimation completed.

[Physical: 100→60] [Mental: 82→32]

[Mechanism · Repair Wrench (Level 8) → Mechanism · Damage Management Repair Squad]

[Mechanical-specific armament. When taking any damage, summons Damage Management Repair Squad to continuously repair damaged areas.

After suffering heavy damage, the squad performs one-time extreme replenishment, using themselves as machinery to complete core repair. When equipped by mechanical lifeforms, their mental energy consumption will make the squad's recovery effectiveness higher.]

The name changed, the strength increased, but the wrench remained the same wrench.

Equip—

Integrating this wrench-shaped item into The Hunt's body until it disappeared, as if it had never appeared at all, and couldn't even be retrieved.

But The Hunt indeed gained an automatic summoning ability for the Damage Management Squad's recovery.

Standing on the train roof, Ye Qiyan stroked The Hunt's massive dragon head with a smile.

"I wonder when I'll be able to get a mechanical core for The Hunt to use, to turn you into a mechanical lifeform too."

"But I can make you a bit smarter first~"

[Calamity Card · Intelligence Machine Crisis]

Although it represented calamity.

That first ability [Mechanical Enlightenment] could bring effects similar to the Smart Chip to machinery.

[Enlightenment]

But The Hunt didn't seem to undergo any changes.

It remained the same Hunt, majestic and invincible.

"Just the most basic enlightenment after all, but it's fine, this was just a small test anyway. When I get the next Emotional Intelligence Chip, I'll definitely use it on you."

Roar...

With a low, gentle sound, The Hunt actually used its massive head to gently nudge Ye Qiyan's palm in the most tender way possible.
