Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

["Quick quick quick look! Oh my god! I almost got eaten!"]

["?"]

A burst of noisy notification sounds woke Ye Qiyan up.

He opened his eyes and felt speechless seeing it was a message from Zhao Lin.

["Do you know what time it is? I was sleeping..."]

["Sleep? How could anyone sleep right now! Big Brother Ye, look at this! That station is actually alive!"]

A photo came through, and seeing the station wrapped in black sludge, Ye Qiyan became fully alert.

["Oh? You actually had a camera hidden away."]

["Uh, that's not important! Big Brother Ye, look at the picture I sent! It scared me to death - good thing I didn't go in."]

Picking up the pocket watch nearby, he checked the time.

["You know my luck's been bad lately, so it's normal I couldn't get in... But thanks for warning me the stopping time was a trap, otherwise I would've definitely used my last remaining item to buy entry to that station."]

["So where are you now?"]

Zhao Lin blinked, looking around.

The station that had stood in the wilderness had completely vanished, leaving only an unobstructed road ahead.

The trains that had gathered together earlier had all disappeared at some point too.

It was as if they had suddenly vanished from each other's worlds.

["The station's gone, all the other trains disappeared too. There's just a single track left on the ground, and my train started moving again, like... this stop never existed at all."]

["Big Brother Ye, what exactly is going on with this world? Why did it bring us all here? What does it want..."]

"So it's just like Shaya said? Each train conductor's world exists independently from the others... Hah, just how many worlds are there then? The scale is unimaginable."

After this small sigh, Ye Qiyan rolled over into a more comfortable position.

["Don't overthink it. You should sleep while you can - don't forget we'll arrive at the next station tomorrow at 1 PM."]

["Oh right, goodnight!"]

The conversation ended abruptly.

Beneath the wilderness, under night's curtain,

Only the roar of the moving train echoed.

What would happen next? Who could know?

Morning

[6:30:30]

A cold broadcast voice woke all still sleeping at this moment.

[Today we will arrive at the 8th station. Two stations remain before the end of the newcomer period]

[After completing the 7th station, the Newcomer Survival Incentive Fund will be distributed]

[Amounts vary based on arrival order at the Public Trading Station]

[First to arrive at Public Trading Station receives 4 Train Coins]

[Second place: 3 coins]

[Third place: 2 coins]

[All other arrivals receive 1 Train Coin]

[Those who failed to enter station receive nothing]

[Today's weather: Clear skies]

[Current sector population: 1,204. Sector merge in three hours]

Whether it was his imagination or not, Ye Qiyan felt this broadcast sounded more lively than before.

Hearing about free Train Coins made his irritation at being woken up vanish instantly.

Cheerfully opening the system interface,

The mail notification icon glowed faintly.

4 Train Coins dropped into his palm. After weighing them in his hand, he now had 7 coins total - just 3 short of buying the chip.

Walking over to the sleeping WALL-E, Ye Qiyan bent down and patted its metal head.

"Hang in there WALL-E. Just one more treasure chest at the next station and you'll get yourself a brain."

Unlike his good mood,

Li Xiaosheng's expression was extremely unpleasant on another train.

"Why? Why only 3 coins? I was clearly first! System! This makes no sense!"

He angrily filed a complaint with the system,

Only to receive an icy response.

["Sequence confirmed correct. Conductor Li Xiaosheng of Train E-3-4409, you have questioned the train system. First warning issued. Next offense will result in punishment station."]

"Damn it! Then who was it? Who could possibly have been faster than me?"

Compared to Li Xiaosheng's outburst, Shangguan Yingxue fell into deep thought after receiving her 2 coins.

"That guy was telling the truth - he really was first to arrive at that station. But why didn't he buy anything?"

Recalling the two Level 3 item displays she'd seen in the shopping hall,

One had been taken by Li Xiaosheng, the other purchased by herself.

So what had Ye Qiyan bought?

She refused to believe Ye Qiyan had no Train Coins - that shrewd businessman was definitely the richest among them.

"Just what kind of talent does he have, I wonder."

The girl murmured softly, casually summoning her interface. Her displayed personal information included a section labeled "Talent."

[Mirror Moon]: Consumes mental energy to randomly obtain one item below the train's current level.

Rubbing her temples, Shangguan Yingxue sighed at the pile of deflated water balloons her talent had produced today.

"Failed again. The only useful items I've gotten in days are that water purifier and the phone... And the feeling after mental energy consumption... It's unbearable. The self-doubt below 50 is already this terrifying - how could any human endure going lower?"

"I can't use my talent for a while. And this recovery speed is painfully slow."

"Sublimation."

[Mental Energy: 120→110]

[Basic Carriage Blueprint → Comfortable New Carriage Blueprint]

[Requirements: 150kg wood, 200kg metal, 90 mechanical parts]

[Optional additional materials: 30kg glass, 20kg fiber for carriage modifications]

[Carriage construction complete]

[Current carriages: 3]

Ye Qiyan had finally used Sublimation on that first Basic Carriage Blueprint.

As expected, not using it earlier had been the right choice.

The construction requirements had increased significantly, but for his current resources, it wasn't too burdensome.

With construction finished,

He entered the new carriage. Compared to the basic version, this one was cleaner, neater - everything looked brand new, unlike the basic carriage where no amount of cleaning could hide the rust stains and grating metallic sounds.

But Ye Qiyan wasn't satisfied yet.

"Sublimation."

[Mental Energy: 95→95]

[Comfortable New Carriage → Cultivation Carriage]

[Cultivation Carriage]

[Equipped with zoned temperature control. Plants grown here will develop at accelerated rates]

[Can install Smart Chip for automation, enabling autonomous planting/harvesting/watering]

[Note: This carriage consumes electricity and requires installation of a power generation device before use]

"Planting? Not bad. Perfect for relocating the White Forest Tree."
