Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

One hundred coins each.

Although Shaya's Healing Lollipops are only Level 8 consumable items, their effect is far too heaven-defying, even capable of removing the curse from a Curse Card. It's obvious that they aren't something that can be bought for a mere hundred Train Coins. This price is quite preferential.

Taking out three hundred Train Coins from his Storage Unit and placing them before Shaya, Ye Qiyan said sincerely, "Thank you, I..."

"Shh~ This is a transaction, not a gift, so don't thank me."

His words were interrupted. The golden-haired nun, smiling, placed a finger against her lips. A hint of cunning flashed in her eyes as her finger drew a circle in the air. A space of Holy Light absorbed all those Train Coins.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Transaction complete. Hmm... can you tell me where you're staying now?"

Ye Qiyan hesitated slightly but didn't hide it. "Right in District 11, at a place called Formula One Cola Company. It's not too far. Want to come take a look?"

"Formula One Cola Company? Formula One... feels a bit familiar, but never mind. After you return to your own train, remember to send me the coordinates via the Friends List chat. If you encounter any danger, I can still go help you."

"No need."

"I mean, no need to go back to send it."

"??"

His fingertip traced through the air. The system interface materialized before Ye Qiyan. This was the light screen unique to every Train Conductor who possessed a system-bound module, visible only to that specific conductor. Pulling up the Friends List interface, under Shaya's surprised gaze, he sent the coordinate address of Formula One Cola Company over.

"You... system binding? Huh? You have it this early?"

"Got it from a treasure chest. Just good luck."

Actually, thinking about it now, that Level 5 treasure chest from which he obtained the system binding module back then was received after he completed his first self-talent sublimation. Inside that chest, besides this module, there were also the [Golden Critical Strike Card], the [Forever Accurate Pocket Watch], and the [Module: In-Station Launch]. For a mere Level 5 treasure chest, these rewards, upon careful thought, seem excessively luxurious.

"From a treasure chest? Right, you can get anything from a treasure chest. But a module as rare as system binding is quite uncommon."

Shaya didn't press further. She simply rested her chin on one hand while gently stirring the coffee in her cup with a long-handled metal spoon from the other. Her gaze, however, settled on Ye Qiyan's face, unmoving.

"Shaya, is there something strange on my face?"

"Pfft... if there was something strange, I'd help you take it off~."

Shaya laughed, then her expression gradually became calm. "I was just thinking, if back then, you hadn't entered that Lost Bell Town for some reason you're unwilling to tell me, what would I be like now?"

Ye Qiyan made a thoughtful expression. In fact, he really was thinking. The Crossroads of Fate always gave him two different choices. If back then he hadn't chosen that Lost Bell Town but another station instead, perhaps many things would have changed.

"Who knows? Maybe a more excellent Train Conductor would have appeared to rescue you?"

"Wrong!"

Shaya raised that metal spoon, pointing it at Ye Qiyan's mouth. "It's impossible for a more excellent Train Conductor than you to appear. I'm certain of that, whether in the past or in the future."

Her conviction and belief were not feigned.

"Ye Qiyan."

She suddenly called out the young man's name. "You might just become the greatest, most excellent Train Conductor, reaching a place I cannot even imagine. If anyone wants to bet with me on this, I'd wager everything I have."

"You trust me that much? What if I die halfway? Wouldn't you lose everything?"

Ye Qiyan said half-jokingly, only to receive a delicate snort from Shaya and a look of triumph in her eyes. "Don't forget, you're the one who freed me from the seal~. So, you are absolutely the most special one! I believe in my own judgment."

Shaya put her mask back on. Standing up, she extended a hand towards Ye Qiyan. "Do you have other plans for the afternoon? Want to rest a bit? Like... singing a song?"

"I don't know how to sing."

"It's fine, I don't either."

"Then let's..."

Before Ye Qiyan could finish his sentence, the virtual sky above the Hanging Gardens, originally a clear azure blue, suddenly flashed with a glaring red light. This red light continuously expanded until it enveloped the entire sky. On every piece of the virtual sky screen, a chibi-style skull shape appeared. This skull opened its mouth and let out a cheeky, snickering laugh.

[Hehehe, you idiots in the Hanging Gardens, hello there! I am a hacker from Abukado. Now, I sincerely invite all of you to participate in a not-too-big, not-too-small game, how about it?]

[Of course, failure means death. Success? Well~ no reward, oh.]

"..."

Shaya's expression instantly turned dark. The metal spoon she hadn't yet put down was unconsciously twisted into a corkscrew shape in her hand. "Heh... Abukado... really knows how to pick the time."

Ye Qiyan looked at the spoon that had become a ball, his mind recalling those puppets around Shaya back in Lost Bell Town whose heads she casually crushed. On the red light screen in the sky, that chibi skull continued its cheeky snickering.

[What are the game rules?]

[Hehe.]

[I'm not telling!]

[Anyway, you can all just die here!]

Crack, crack—

The phantom of a building appeared in the sky. That building phantom gradually solidified until it completely enveloped a large area.

"...Tsk."

Shaya discontentedly tossed the metal ball in her hand aside. The coldness in her eyes gradually transformed into killing intent. "What a nuisance... Ye Qiyan, where is your train?"

"You want me to leave?"

Shaya nodded without any concealment. "This is a prison. The Hanging Gardens prison. All those imprisoned inside are malicious Train Conductors with Train levels exceeding 30 and possessing system binding."

"I have a nemesis locked up inside. I want to kill her. But what will happen during this time, I don't know either. So... if you're not confident, leave this place. At the very least, find a place to hide."

A prison?

Ye Qiyan's eyebrows raised slightly. So, that Warden who possesses the Demon Card is inside there? No. Or rather... is he one of the people up there?

Figures continuously ran out from within that building. They wreaked havoc wantonly. In an instant, the entire Hanging Gardens plunged into a war between Train Conductors.

"Confidence, huh?"

Ye Qiyan watched the departing figures of Shaya and Tina, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. "Lisette, how much stronger do you think these people are compared to me?"

The mechanical maid, resembling a young girl, blinked. "Master, you will not lose."
