Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 326: Fan Huo's ConjectureWhoosh—!
Time until system recovery countdown: [01:28:50]
Ye Qiyan sat on top of the train, basking in the moonlight.
"These things really can't be completely wiped out."
"And, I've already been discovered, huh."
In the sky, a white bomber hovered in place.
Several aerial bombs dropped down.
They briefly cleared some of the surrounding Flower Demons, but didn't damage any of Ye Qiyan's things.
Fan Huo jumped down from high altitude. At the moment when the red targeting circle appeared, just as his train was about to enter the 210-meter radius warning perimeter, he teleported a step backward.
He took off his sunglasses, revealing a grayish-white eyeball beneath them.
"This is... the Sentinel Guard's ability?"
"Used a special core and remodeled it into this mechanical lifeform appearance?"
"Truly extravagant. While the Sentinel Guard can be considered one of the best items for low-level Train Conductors, those who think to strengthen it with a high-level core are quite rare."
"And also, your train?"
Fan Huo examined the layer of pale golden protective barrier enveloping the exterior of Ye Qiyan's train.
"Wealth Protective Barrier?"
"You... are quite wealthy, willing to purchase such a fragile thing in the upgrade options, and moreover, willing to activate it."
Ye Qiyan gently stroked Eve's head, smiling slightly.
"Senior Fan Huo, it's been a long time indeed. I wonder what matter brings you to find me?"
Boom—!
The Steam King released another steam cannon blast, the mechanical army holding the battle line firmly.
Fan Huo watched everything before him, finishing an entire cigar, and only after a long while did he speak in that deep, muffled voice:
"You've grown faster than I imagined."
"Thank you for the praise."
"Level 6? Or, Level 7?"
Ye Qiyan grabbed WALL-E, who was stirring mashed potatoes nearby, and handed it to the Goshawk to take back inside the train.
"More or less."
"More or less, huh. Heh, what a clever little brat."
Fan Huo's grayish-white eyeball swept over Ye Qiyan's body again.
"Menrojina's Arrogance, huh. I truly didn't expect her to be willing to give you that card too. Be careful not to owe too much karma, or you'll end up paying with your life."
"Thanks for the reminder~"
Fan Huo still stood outside that 210-meter range, smoking his cigar just watching Ye Qiyan, remaining silent.
He stood like that for a full twenty minutes.
Ye Qiyan was also quite patient. After all, the one with business wasn't him, so there was no need to hurry at all.
When Fan Huo finished his fifth cigar in one breath, he finally spoke up to ask:
"What did you do? Why are so many Flower Demons attacking you? You... went into the city?"
As expected, he couldn't hold back anymore.
"Brother Fan Huo, if you're referring to that city over there, do you think with the situation outside, a newcomer like me could get in? As for what I did... maybe killed an elite monster?"
Ye Qiyan's answer seemed to say everything, yet also seemed to say nothing at all.
"......Newcomers wouldn't possess this type of mechanical soldier."
His gaze fell upon the Steam King, which was like a tall building.
"Seems your luck is good. This is something that only appears in Advanced Stations. Did you get it from the upgrade options? Must have cost a lot of Train Coins to build. As a trump card, it's worth it. But then there's this Wealth Protective Barrier too."
"You... accepted Train Coins given by someone else?"
Ye Qiyan shrugged, still tossing the question back.
"What happens if I did?"
"Your potential weakens. Future things in the upgrade options become worse."
"Then I didn't accept."
"......"
Fan Huo fell silent again.
He shook his head, a self-mocking chuckle actually escaping from that resolute, icy face.
"What was I thinking, actually believing the matters in the city were related to you."
"Kid, strive forward. Your talent isn't bad. To possess such powerful machinery in just over a month, combined with your Demon... the world below Advanced Stations, for you, aside from some Anomaly types, no... if you have a Demon..."
"Brother Fan Huo."
Ye Qiyan stood up, jumped off the train, and walked straight up to Fan Huo.
"Do you have any other business?"
He smiled, interrupting Fan Huo's words.
This somber, middle-aged cigar-smoking man, it seems, wasn't as taciturn as the impression suggested.
"...Forget it. I was overthinking. You couldn't possibly be... someone who possesses blasphemy."
The last few words were spoken very softly.
If Ye Qiyan's physical strength hadn't been enhanced past one hundred seventy, greatly increasing his hearing, he really wouldn't have heard it.
Fan Huo took out the War Card, summoned the bomber that resembled a White Swan, and jumped onto it.
"If one day you encounter a War Card, you can contact me. I'll trade with you for something of equivalent value."
"I'll keep an eye out."
As the bomber dropped several more aerial bombs, clearing another portion of the surrounding Flower Demons, Ye Qiyan watched the white silhouette in the sky, pondering slightly.
"As expected of a card sequence possessor within the Imperial Sequence Organization. None of them are simple. To make such conjectures just based on the number of monsters attacking me here?"
"Ha, could this be the Demon Flower God's final resistance? Trying to expose my information through anomalies?"
"Pity~"
"Not very useful."
Whoosh—!
Just as Fan Huo's bomber completely disappeared into the clouds, and Ye Qiyan casually used Black Ebony to finish off a few Flower Demons, turning to return to the train...
In the distance.
A dark green streak of light shot through the air.
Duang!
The Scoundrel charged to close range.
The Lava and Decay Shields instantly blocked behind Ye Qiyan.
A massive collision sound painfully shook eardrums.
In front of the shields.
A humanoid monster with a scorpion tail, yet resembling some kind of mutated mantis, fell to the ground, but quickly got back up.
The carapace on its body was cracked by the counter-damage from the Decay and Lava Shields, but correspondingly, the Scoundrel behind the shields was also in a similar state.
"An Apostle? No, those Apostles don't have this kind of impact. This monster? Where did it come from?"
Ye Qiyan took out Black Ebony and pulled the trigger, simultaneously activating the Module: Sky-Plundering Wings.
Several black light feathers remained in place as his figure returned to the top of the train.
"Such high speed, after counter-damage, still alive and kicking. If there's only one..."
"Death Omen."
The call.
The arrival.
The Raven demon put down the burlap sack it was using to collect Flower Demon bodies to make feed, flapped its huge wings, and flew into the air.
"Sound its death knell."
Then, it swooped down toward that monster, one claw descending.
