Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Li Xiaosheng's blade was stuck at the edge of the Wandering Star Holy Sigil, unable to advance another inch.

His face paled, clearly not expecting that Ye Qiyan, who had just moments ago appeared completely exhausted, could still so easily block his sneak attack.

Li Xiaosheng was terrified out of his wits and tried to slip back into the shadows to escape.

Lisette and Red Tears were about to give chase, but Ye Qiyan raised a hand to stop them.

"He can't escape."

Li Xiaosheng fled frantically, cursing wildly in his heart.

"Damn Ye Qiyan! Wasn't he already exhausted?! Why does he still have the strength to block my attack?!"

"I must kill him, kill him!"

He moved stealthily through the shadows.

But this time, he wouldn't get away.

A silent, small black mechanical snake suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Before he could think or dodge, the Imaginary Number Mechanic Snake that flashed out from imaginary number space forcibly pulled Li Xiaosheng, who was still within the shadows, back into reality.

"What is this?!"

Li Xiaosheng's question went unanswered.

He felt the ground beneath his feet inexplicably soften, as the void that appears when a train arrives at a station suddenly manifested.

His legs sank into it, his entire body trapped and unable to move.

"Hiss~"

A pair of snake's vertical pupils reflected within this void.

The surrounding space continuously flickered with grid-like, bizarre distortions.

"Ah!"

[Fang·Imaginary Number Mechanic Snake]

[Self-destruct attack, consumes metal and mechanical parts, can be revived]

He let out a shriek. The small snake's attack caused Li Xiaosheng's entire lower body to be devoured clean by the spatial fluctuations from the self-destruction within the imaginary number space.

Even the heart area, representing the most vital part for a vampire, was directly exposed to the air.

"Ran pretty fast."

Li Xiaosheng's mangled torso lay on the ground. He heard that voice he loathed, envied, and feared.

"Ye... Ye Qi... yan!"

Even though only less than a third of his body remained.

His eyes were still filled with unwillingness, fury, and hatred.

All the negative emotions born from jealousy were displayed to the fullest on Li Xiaosheng.

"Yes, yes, I am Ye Qiyan."

Ye Qiyan waved his hand dismissively, not caring about Li Xiaosheng's gaze.

He snapped his fingers, took out some metal and mechanical parts, and made contact with the small snake's remaining core, which had automatically returned to Ye Qiyan's hand after the self-destruction. Revitalization was quickly completed.

The small black snake lay on the back of his hand, as usual, lifeless as if inanimate.

"The power is decent. Controlling it to one-tenth of its full force is enough to render a low-level vampire combat ineffective. With a bit more directional control, it would be enough to kill someone."

"Ye Qiyan!!!"

Being ignored, Li Xiaosheng let out an even more furious, resentful roar.

"Why! Why are you so strong!"

"We entered this world on the same day! Why do only you possess these powerful artifacts! Why can you keep upgrading your train continuously!! Why are you the one still alive!!!"

Ye Qiyan calmly looked down at Li Xiaosheng on the ground. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth lifted in a subtle arc.

"You guess~"

"Ah!!!"

Li Xiaosheng's heart violently contracted. Clearly, this answer deepened his fury once more.

"I'll kill you!!!"

"Didn't I give you a chance? You just didn't manage to do it."

"Speaking of which, what grudge did we have again?"

Ye Qiyan took the Black Ebony pistol from Lisette, which she had already wiped clean.

He had indeed almost forgotten what grudge he had with Li Xiaosheng.

Wasn't it just blocking him on the Friends List?

Surely that wasn't reason enough to want him dead so badly.

"Ha, hahaha! You don't know?! You actually don't know!!"

"Should I know?"

The muzzle of the Black Ebony aimed at Li Xiaosheng's heart.

"Yes! You don't know! Talent! You were able to grow so fast, you must have a talent, right?! Why! Why does your talent help you! While my Resource Radar can only hinder me from moving forward!"

"Ye Qiyan! If I also had your talent, the one lying here now should be you!!!"

Resource Radar. Ye Qiyan recalled he seemed to have seen someone discussing this while lurking in the Public Chat Room.

It truly wasn't a good talent.

Those who possessed this talent were even mockingly called the "Weakest Talent" by many who had no talent at all.

But, if as this Li Xiaosheng said, their talents were swapped, would the situation really reverse?

He didn't know.

But at the very least, Ye Qiyan wouldn't choose to give up.

Even if the Resource Radar forced him to keep entering station worlds with abundant basic resources, he, Ye Qiyan, wouldn't choose to stop moving forward just because he couldn't level up quickly.

This was the Wasteland world.

Here, anything was possible.

So what if it was the Resource Radar talent?

As long as he kept moving forward, there would always be a way to make this seemingly weakest talent become his aid.

Even if it truly proved impossible, and he died in the end because of a weak talent, then at the moment of death he could say he had tried his best.

Ye Qiyan let out a soft chuckle.

There was no mockery in this laugh, no dissatisfaction with Li Xiaosheng's jealousy.

This laugh was for himself, Ye Qiyan.

He had actually thought before that this guy Li Xiaosheng, relying on his ruthlessness, cunning, and methods, might secure a place for himself in the future of the Wasteland.

Now it seemed, he had probably thought too much.

This kind of person couldn't see themselves clearly, nor could they understand others.

"What are you laughing at? Hah! Ye Qiyan, I know, you're mocking me! You think I'm just a fool! You don't dare answer my question! Because you know if you were me, you couldn't do any better either!"

"Damn Resource Radar! Damn heavens! You let me transmigrate to this world! Why am I not the protagonist!!!"

Li Xiaosheng was still howling.

And Ye Qiyan no longer wanted to see this person.

Protagonist?

Hmm.

He was the protagonist.

Every single person in the Wasteland was a protagonist.

If one were to compile every adventure, every encounter that occurred within the countless station worlds experienced by every Train Conductor into a storybook.

Then every single Train Conductor would be the protagonist of their own story.

Li Xiaosheng, the moment he uttered "Why am I not the protagonist," was equivalent to negating everything he himself had experienced.

And that destined him to fail.

"Idiot."

Bang—!

The gunshot rang out.

The world finally fell silent.

Li Xiaosheng's heart shattered, his body gradually turning to dust.

Until, he disappeared forever.

Li Xiaosheng, this man who once existed in Ye Qiyan's Friends List, was completely dead.

"I'm exhausted~ I'll leave the rest to others, need to rest a bit... really, I shouldn't have wasted so much time with this idiot..."
