Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

"As you wish."

Eighteen Train Coins transformed into specks of golden light in Ye Qiyan's hand, merging into the display case.

Accompanied by a gentle glow, the dark golden Great Compassion Heavy Machine Gun appeared perfectly before his eyes.

So big! So thick! So handsome!!

And also...

"So heavy."

Ye Qiyan attempted to lift it, the substantial weight making him understand why this thing was called a heavy machine gun.

If he hadn't previously increased his stamina by 20 points, which also boosted his strength, it would have been quite difficult to lift.

Moreover, looking at the Smiling Face Person who showed no intention of helping, he realized he had to carry this gun back by himself.

"..."

The Smiling Face Person remained silent, but the eyes beneath the mask kept shifting until Ye Qiyan returned the Safety Box to his backpack, still without uttering a word.

Only when seeing Ye Qiyan preparing to leave without waking him did he finally speak:

"You truly are an impressive Train Conductor."

"Could you do me a favor?"

"Although this favor isn't something you can accomplish at your current level."

"If you agree, I will give you another level 6 item for free."

Ye Qiyan stopped walking upon hearing the Smiling Face Person's words.

"What favor?"

Seeing he hadn't left, the Smiling Face Person shattered the glass of another level 6 item and retrieved it.

"Very simple."

"Let me die."

The Trickster Play Sword was presented before him.

Purple ominous energy spread outward from the sword's blade, with faint whispers occasionally echoing in his ears.

"If you want to die, why not just commit suicide? Why come to me? Besides, I don't think I can kill someone who can regenerate severed limbs in just a few seconds... person?"

The Smiling Face Person shook his head.

"I cannot kill myself. None of the guides can kill ourselves, hehe... Don't worry, whether you agree or not doesn't matter. As you said, you truly cannot kill me at your current state."

"Then why?"

"I'm gambling. Gambling that you will return here again. Gambling that by then you'll possess the ability to grant me release."

The Smiling Face Person removed his mask.

A face full of twisted folds and abstract features was exposed.

"Actually, I was once a Train Conductor too, but due to certain circumstances, I was forced to remain here. Hehe, this is the curse that keeps me here. Quite terrifying, isn't it?"

The Smiling Face Person put his mask back on.

"This item has been taken out and can never be returned. This sword already belongs to you. Even if you forget about this matter in the future, just pretend I never said anything."

The Trickster Play Sword landed at Ye Qiyan's feet.

Should he accept it?

Why not?

"I don't guarantee if I can do it, nor when I might accomplish it. If you're still willing to try under these conditions, I agree."

"Thank you. That's enough."

Bowing respectfully, the Smiling Face Person returned to his initial state.

"Your purchases at this station have concluded. However, this station still has some specialty foods from human society that can be purchased using Train Coins. Would you like to try them?"

"Uh, never mind. I'm not lacking..."

"Steamed buns, dumplings, hot pot—everything available. Only one Train Coin. This is an exclusive benefit specifically for the first Train Conductor to enter the station. Are you sure you don't want it?"

"...."

A few minutes later, when Ye Qiyan sat down in a restaurant, looking at the dazzling array of delicious foods before him, while recalling those either too salty or too bland messy barbecues he'd been making these past days, he swallowed his involuntary saliva and began feasting heartily.

————

Five hours and thirty minutes after the public platform opened.

A battered, rundown train entered the Transit Station from the distance.

As the train stopped, Li Xiaosheng scrambled out of the train in disarray.

"Cough, cough, damn! Those damned monsters actually set my train on fire! Luckily the speed was sufficient, otherwise I would have been finished there. Damn it, my carriages got destroyed."

Now his train only had the locomotive section left. The two carriages that originally stored considerable resources were ambushed by monsters on the way here. If the train speed hadn't been fast enough, he would have been blown to pieces along with the carriages.

He punched the ground, taking quite a while to calm his anger. Looking at the empty platform, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably turned upward.

"I really am the first one! Hahahaha!"

"This time I must buy a blueprint that can make weapons, then use the blueprint to exchange for Flame Stones with others. By then I can continue leading!"

"Huh? Permanent parking? Who would want to park? I'm destined to become the main character!"

Li Xiaosheng stood up and looked around, spotting the building ahead and striding toward it.

"Treasure, I'm coming!"

He didn't know that everything he was doing was being watched at this moment.

Ordinary trading area.

The empty platform only had one train. Ye Qiyan leisurely sat on the train roof, enjoying the peaceful sunlight.

The Smiling Face Person stood silently beside him without saying a word.

"I say, are you sure they can't see us from over there?"

"Of course. The trading area levels follow extremely strict rules. Lower-level trading areas absolutely cannot see anything from higher-level trading areas."

"That means someone might be watching us from a higher trading area right now?"

"No. The Transit Station only has novice and ordinary trading areas."

"Oh."

Ye Qiyan ate peanuts while watching Li Xiaosheng's actions in the novice trading area with great interest.

"Speaking of which, does the novice trading area not have guides like you? This guy seems to be lost."

The Smiling Face Person shook his head, then nodded.

"There used to be, but he died later. I truly envy him."

"I'm currently serving as guide for both novice and ordinary trading areas. I should have appeared in the novice trading area, but compared to guiding a group of novices, you are more important to me."

"Moreover, this trading session is just a tutorial, allowing novice Train Conductors to understand this world as much as possible within ten stations. In fact, the ordinary trading area wasn't supposed to open today, but you broke in. The ordinary trading area was forcibly opened—this situation has only happened once in decades."

The Smiling Face Person looked at Ye Qiyan with a strange gaze. Honestly, he didn't understand how someone could upgrade their train to level 4 before 10 stations, nor why Ye Qiyan could break into the ordinary trading area.

Moreover, he couldn't be mistaken—what he saw earlier was a level 9 Safety Box, something even more impossible for a novice Train Conductor to obtain.

This was very unreasonable.

But precisely because of this unreasonableness, he developed the expectation that Ye Qiyan might be able to kill him.

"Oh, so I should feel a bit proud then. By the way, do you want to eat?"

Ye Qiyan offered the last peanut to him. The Smiling Face Person didn't speak, just silently turned his head away.

"..."

"Sorry, I forgot you can't eat."

Tossing the last peanut into his mouth, clapping his hands, Ye Qiyan summoned the Light Screen, raised his eyes, and looked at the Smiling Face Person.

"So, the infinite parking time shown by the system indeed has issues, right?"

The Smiling Face Person chose silence.

"Hmm, understood."

Ye Qiyan nodded and didn't ask further, because he had already gotten his answer.

The chat backend had a message notification—it was from Zhao Lin.

If he remembered correctly, this woman's Luck Conservation should currently be in the misfortune state.

But since her avatar wasn't grayed out yet, she was still alive. However, given her good fortune at the previous station and her misfortune at this station, could she really make it to this station alive?

40 minutes ago: ["Brother Ye, when we reach the station, should we meet up? I'll bring you snacks and alcohol, how about that?"]

9 minutes ago: ["Oh no... There are many mummies blocking my train, but they're moving so slowly, like snails, haha. Looks like my misfortune isn't that serious after all. It's just that the alcohol I prepared for you all broke. Sorry about that."]

Now: ["Alright, Brother Ye, I'm really starting to get unlucky now. The wheels got tangled in mummy corpses, and the train speed has decreased significantly. Could you sell me some repair materials... You know about my last station—the things I listed on the Trading Platform, for some reason, no one bought them except you..."]

Indeed, her misfortune had begun.
