Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 44: Departing the Seventh Station, Sublimating the Heavy Machine Gun"This guy really knows when to bend and when to stand firm."
After watching the entertaining show, Ye Qiyan flipped off the train.
"I should get going too. Here, take this back."
He pulled out a water pipe connecting to the shopping hall from the first carriage window and tossed it to Smiling Mask.
The water storage tank in the carriage had now reached full capacity.
"Finally filled up. That took way too long."
Smiling Mask silently snapped the pipe and spoke in a hollow voice.
"Having the train conductor fetch water from the trading hall goes against regulations. Finding this pipe was already a stroke of luck."
Ye Qiyan smiled slightly. That's what they said, but didn't they agree in the end?
"Please remember, no matter when or where, never trust 'Infinity'. If you do... this is what happens."
"I'll remember."
"Next time we meet, I hope you can help free me. If not... well, I've been disappointed many times before. One more won't matter."
Looking at Smiling Mask's distorted facial features, Ye Qiyan felt neither disgust nor fear. He shook his head and took out a blessed White Forest Fruit from storage, extending it out the window.
"Don't worry, I'll remember this. Next time we meet, I'll definitely help free you."
As Smiling Mask accepted the fruit, Ye Qiyan pressed the startup button.
This station had completely unrestricted departure times.
The train moved forward, passing through a curtain of nothingness ahead.
Looking back, the station that had been behind them had completely vanished.
"Even though it's a station in the wilderness, it's still quite different, huh?"
This world held too many secrets, far more than he could understand now.
Throwing himself onto the bed, Ye Qiyan summoned the system screen to tally his gains from this station.
First were the two Level 6 items: the Merciful Heavy Machine Gun and the Deceitplay Sword.
The former would undoubtedly be equipped on the Sentinel Guard.
Its nine weapon slots currently only held five Fine Marksman Rifles and one Mithril Crossbow - already enough to handle a Level 4 Slaughter Platform with ease. Adding this heavy machine gun? Ye Qiyan felt if he returned to a Level 4 Slaughter Platform now, he could actively hunt down monsters.
As for the latter...
Honestly, the sword held almost zero appeal for him.
Any weapon that consumed mental energy reserves was immediately dead to him.
But hey, it was free loot. Free stuff always smelled sweet. Even if he sold it later, it would be a huge windfall.
Additionally, his water tank now held a full 1,000 kilograms of fresh water.
Though he'd passed seven stations now, fresh water remained precious.
After all, people could survive seven days without food, but not three days without water.
He wouldn't be short on drinking water anytime soon.
"Whew, can't rest yet."
Leaving the comfortable bed, Ye Qiyan retrieved the Merciful Heavy Machine Gun from the security case.
Looking at the imposing weapon, he rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Heh, wonder if it'll look even cooler and bigger after sublimation?"
Full of anticipation, he began the sublimation.
[Stamina: 120→90] [Mental Energy: 120→100]
Only fifty points consumed?
Strange. This was a Level 6 item - why such low sublimation cost?
Puzzled, Ye Qiyan activated the appraisal function.
[Enchanted · Mental Magazine · Merciful Heavy Machine Gun] (Level 6)
[Can consume mental energy to additionally load a 500-round magazine...]
The level hadn't increased, but it had gained a new ability beyond the original description.
Unfortunately, the heavy machine gun's potential was now fully depleted - no further upgrades possible.
"Not bad at all. An extra 500-round magazine plus the original 300-round capacity... nice."
Relatively satisfied with this sublimation, Ye Qiyan equipped it to the Sentinel, then spent 50 mental energy points to fully load both the mental magazine and the standard 300 rounds of Level 3 ammunition.
"As for this sword... whatever. No point sublimating something I don't plan to use."
The Deceitplay Sword was tossed into the storage unit's last slot.
"Still early. Today's pretty free... might as well sublimate this too."
The Pure Earthbound Stone.
Back at the Level 4 Slaughter Platform, Ye Qiyan had considered sublimating it to protect the train from evil intrusions.
But then the Sentinel proved so formidable it nearly cleared the station alone, so the idea was shelved.
[Stamina 90→40]
[Pure Earthbound Stone → Pure Purification Stone] (Level 5)
[When placed anywhere on the train, maintains pure conditions within: no filth contamination, no evil interference, no wicked intrusions.]
Potential depleted.
In Ye Qiyan's hand, the already smooth stone had become somewhat translucent.
Holding it, its cool, hard surface somehow felt softly malleable.
The stone emitted a faint glow - would make a decent night light.
Purchasing a wall-mounted decorative holder from the Trading Platform, he placed it centrally opposite his bed.
"Looks good."
"Whew, finally done."
Casually grabbing a White Forest Fruit, Ye Qiyan comfortably lay on his bed and opened the system screen to check the public chatroom.
By this time, others should be nearing stations too.
Soon everyone would learn that Li Xiaosheng hadn't told them about the unlimited docking time.
How many would fall into that trap?
[1574/10000]
["Hell yeah! Finally reaching the station! This trip's been exhausting!"]
["Damn, you're fast! Did you upgrade your train wheels?"]
["Heh, got a blueprint a few stations back that lets manual labor increase speed. Hence why I'm dead tired."]
["Didn't Li Xiaosheng say he'd share info when first arriving at a station? Been waiting forever - where's his update?"]
["Bro Li said he'd share with Alliance members. You're not in the Alliance, idiot. Why would he tell you?"]
["Pfft. Some people will lick boots even in this world. Disgusting. If he won't share, I will."]
The conductor who used manual labor to boost speed arrived at the Transit Station, becoming its fourth visitor.
Panting heavily as he exited his train, he spotted two other trains already docked.
"Damn, besides Li Xiaosheng there's another fast one? Some real pros out here."
After a moment of envy, his system screen appeared.
"Station name... Transit Station? What a lame name."
"Wait... wha? Docking time? UNLIMITED?! HOLY SHIT!"
A screenshot quickly appeared in the public chat.
["HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!"]
["Misread the above as 'holy shit I'm holy', was disappointed."]
["+1"]
["You're all missing the point! UNLIMITED docking time! Could we just stay here forever?!"]
["+1 to the above"]
