Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Time: [22:38:04]

Tomorrow's Weather [Strong Winds!]

[Spirit: 260]

"Finished, finished!"

Inside the carriage, Ye Qiyan stretched lazily, looked at the two-player game on the console where the completion progress had reached halfway, and casually tossed the controller aside.

"Not playing anymore, time to do some real work."

Lisette, who was beside him, also put down her controller and went to prepare a midnight snack for Ye Qiyan.

The time since returning to the Wasteland, and since entering the last station, had passed five days.

The spirit exhaustion from using the Ring of the Hunt had, after a period of rest, fully recovered.

And as for the real work Ye Qiyan mentioned~

"Which one to Sublimate first?"

One Level 8 treasure chest and one Level 9 treasure chest.

Both of these were things ordinary Train Conductors would rarely ever get to see.

Ye Qiyan rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

In fact, judging from his gaze, which lingered more on the Level 9 treasure chest, the answer was practically begging to be revealed.

"Anyway, I've waited many days for this, what's one more time."

Ye Qiyan set the Level 8 treasure chest aside.

He knocked on the werewolf-skull-shaped Level 9 treasure chest and took a deep breath.

"Huff...."

He placed his palm on it, azure-blue streams of light swirling around his fingertips.

"Let's begin."

He whispered softly....

"Sublimation."

[Talent Activated——]

A storm self-ignited, a powerful force of Sublimation continuously pouring into the treasure chest.

[Stamina: 220→20] [Spirit: 260→10]

Four hundred and fifty points of value were rapidly consumed, yet the treasure chest before him didn't seem to have undergone any visible change.

[Lucky Level 9 Treasure Chest (Can be opened)]

[A bit luckier than an ordinary Level 9 treasure chest]

[Perhaps, the things inside will be more suitable for the one who opens it?]

[Who knows?]

The treasure chest now had a 'Lucky' prefix in front of it. That alone had consumed 450 points of his combined spirit and stamina.

"Truly worthy of Level 9, used so much without any major apparent change."

Ye Qiyan wasn't disappointed. On the contrary, he was extremely satisfied with this result of Sublimation.

'Lucky' as a prefix.

What could possibly be bad about that?

Ye Qiyan took a bite of the White Forest Fruit Lisette handed him, rubbed his hands together again, and eagerly opened the treasure chest.

The werewolf skull slowly opened.

A dazzling radiance shone forth from within.

[Treasure Chest Opened]

[Obtained Train Coins: 18]

[Train Module·Boosted Derailment]

[Train Conductor Advanced Module Card: Heart Slash]

[Defense-Type·Mechanism·Mirage Armor (Level 9)]

There were only three things inside the chest.

Just as the introduction for the 'Lucky' prefix suggested, judging by their names, the rewards seemed quite suitable for him.

[Train Module·Boosted Derailment]

[Consumes 100 Train Coins, allowing the Train to continue moving forward while derailed. Duration: One hour. Cooldown: Twenty-four hours.]

"This module... costs so much?"

One hundred Train Coins for a chance for the Train to keep moving even after leaving the tracks.

Couldn't say it's useless, just... a bit subtle.

"Tracks, huh..."

"If I ever encounter something that can target the Train's tracks in the future, this might come in handy. Not bad."

[Train Conductor Advanced Module Card: Heart Slash]

[After using this module card, obtain the Train Conductor Advanced Module: Heart Slash]

[Heart Slash]

[Use the heart as an eye, swing the blade to unleash a slash]

[Perception of surroundings is greatly enhanced when vision is unavailable]

"Is this because I'm not very good with blades, so it gave me a module at the initial level of Judgment of Gunfire?"

"Well, it's a card at least. I'll Sublimate it later and see."

His gaze finally fell upon the last reward, the one he was most looking forward to.

[Defense-Type·Mechanism·Mirage Armor (Level 9)]

[After use on any mechanical lifeform, that mechanical lifeform will be equipped with Mirage Armor]

[After equipping, the mechanical lifeform will judge the intensity of incoming attacks and activate the armor before the attack arrives. During the armor's activation, it will defend against the first three non-guaranteed-hit / non-causality-law attacks.]

[If the attacker's target is not this mechanical lifeform, or if the mechanical lifeform is unobserved, any non-initiative attacks encountered will be nullified.]

[Note: A special product researched by a certain technological world, but because its ability was considered too niche/ineffective, only one prototype was ever produced.]

[Note 2: "A meaningless ability... hmm?"]

"???!"

"Good stuff!"

After reading the description of this final reward, Ye Qiyan even felt that it wouldn't matter at all if the previous two modules weren't there.

This Mirage Armor indeed seemed as niche as the note described.

Whether placed on The Hunt or any other mechanical lifeform, the effect of this thing didn't seem very useful.

After all, all it could defend against were the first three attacks. After those three, it was basically as if it didn't exist.

But it was the latter effect, which was even more niche for other mechanical lifeforms, that was the real key to Ye Qiyan's delight.

'Nullified when encountering non-initiative attacks while unobserved.'

Many prerequisites.

Put in simpler terms.

It means if the target of someone's large-scale AOE attack isn't the equipped one, then that attack is useless.

Among the machines Ye Qiyan possessed, who fit this best, who was least likely to be observed, and who just happened to lack a defensive ability?

"Hehe~"

He smiled and looked towards WALL-E, who was nearby cosplaying as a robot vacuum cleaner. He reached out and gave the iron skull, which hadn't been knocked in a long while, a gentle tap.

"~~"

WALL-E covered his own skull with his two mechanical claws, his two eyes curving into crescents as he looked at his master with confusion.

"Nothing, nothing, I just suddenly felt like tapping you. The feel is still as good as ever~"

He laughed, not immediately equipping the Mirage Armor to WALL-E.

Because he was going to get WALL-E something even better.

"Huff~ Looks like I need a good rest."

There were quite a few things, and all were useful.

So, he would wait until tomorrow, after his stamina and spirit recovered, to perform Sublimation.

And what Ye Qiyan was most looking forward to was what new ability would appear after Sublimating this Mirage Armor.

"Sleep, sleep~"

RUN Company, Headquarters World.

Russell, the new Boss, sat in the Boss's office. Before him lay a stack of brand new Wanted Posters.

If anyone else were here, they wouldn't have trouble seeing that the individuals on these Wanted Posters were all members of the Imperial Sequence Organization.

"Demon... Fate... So cool, these people..."

"Huh?"

"Bro isn't a man? Why is Zhu Xingshu... a woman?"

"And the one beside Altos... looks more like Bro's summons, right?"

"Could it be..."

Russell's expression grew increasingly serious. He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the figures on the Wanted Posters, muttering to himself.

"Bro is actually Altos? He said he was Zhu Xingshu because he was using that identity to do something? And at the time, he couldn't just tell me?"

"Later on, it became awkward to tell me directly?"

"Yes! That must be it!"
