Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

From these conversations, it was clear that after experiencing a sector merger, the quality of train conductors had significantly improved compared to before. At least they weren't overwhelmed with fear when facing the situations described in the broadcast.

Most people had long prepared themselves for the need to increase train speed again. Moreover, upgrading wheels or the train itself wasn't the only way to boost speed. During the seventh station, that conductor who used human power for acceleration had listed on the trading platform a human-powered device he created using blueprints - stepping on an energy-generating bicycle could increase speed by 10 km/h.

For those unable to upgrade their trains but still wanting to survive, spending one Train Coin to purchase such a device was the best option. Of course, the consequence was mortgaging the future, making subsequent upgrades more difficult.

Ye Qiyan naturally wasn't worried about this. After hearing the broadcast, he spent a bit of mental energy to check tomorrow's weather through the Sunny Doll. "Blizzard? So tomorrow's ninth station will have blizzard elements too?"

Ding-ding—

Another message arrived. Ye Qiyan looked up to check.

Shangguan Yingxue: ["Tell me tomorrow's weather."]

Since the Sunny Doll came from his trade with Shangguan Yingxue, it made sense she'd ask him about the weather.

Ye Qiyan: ["One Train Coin"]

["Pleasure doing business. Tomorrow's weather is blizzard, remember to stay warm."]

["Oh."]

As the conversation ended, Ye Qiyan suddenly thought of another friend. "Right, wasn't Zhao Lin's previous station the Lucky Station?" That woman intertwined with misfortune and luck - what valuable things might she have obtained from the last station?

["You there? How was the last station?"]

The reply came quickly.

["Ah, Brother Ye! Not bad, heh. Anyway, I've already upgraded to a Level 3 train."]

["Congratulations."]

Ye Qiyan was somewhat surprised. After all, Zhao Lin had only recently upgraded to Level 2 train. It seemed her eighth station harvest was plentiful. Conversely, her ninth station's misfortune level should be correspondingly higher.

["Hehe, just lucky. Oh right, Brother Ye, I was actually going to contact you too. Would you buy this?"]

[Shaved Ice Machine]

[A machine for shaving ice]

["In such hot weather, wouldn't you like some delicious shaved ice? Just one Train Coin, and I'll throw in a big block of ice too."]

This girl was actually trying to turn the tables and make money from him now. The corner of Ye Qiyan's mouth curled up slightly.

["Seems you really struck gold last station. The shaved ice machine is nice, but I'll pass on buying it. How about selling you some information for one Train Coin instead? Interested?"]

["Deal! Can I use this shaved ice machine as payment? Comes with ice of course."]

Zhao Lin didn't hesitate at all. In her heart, Ye Qiyan was extraordinarily capable. Having lurked in public chat rooms for long, even those seemingly impressive conductors paled in comparison to this Brother Ye in her eyes.

["Accepted."]

The shaved ice machine and a human-head-sized ice block were sent over directly. Ye Qiyan shared tomorrow's blizzard forecast with Zhao Lin.

["Ah, a blizzard? Thanks Brother Ye! Good thing you told me, or I might have frozen to death tomorrow!"]

["I won't disturb you further. I'll go buy cold-weather gear now. Brother Ye, you should prepare for the cold too - trains get freezing."]

Chat concluded.

With the shaved ice machine, Ye Qiyan made himself a large cup of shaved ice. Crushing White Forest Fruit as topping and scooping a spoonful into his mouth, the sweet flavor combined with icy texture created an absolutely unbeatable taste.

"Whew~ Almost forgot about this." Walking to the climate-controlled carriage, Ye Qiyan pulled up the train details on the system interface. There, the Level 4 train upgrade options still showed one remaining item.

[Smart Chip] (10 Train Coins)

Although WALL-E hadn't brought him any treasure chests last station, after selling giant meat chunks and trading with Shangguan Yingxue, his Train Coins had returned to 17 - enough to purchase the smart chip.

"Purchase."

Ten Train Coins dissolved into sparkling light in his hands. A palm-sized, technologically advanced chip with flowing blue light appeared in his grasp.

Now he had two candidates needing chip enhancement: the cultivation carriage's automation, and WALL-E's intelligence upgrade. Who should get it? The answer was obvious.

But first.

"Sublimation."

[Stamina: 104→64]

[Smart Chip → Emotional Intelligence Chip]

[Mechanical constructs equipped with this chip will develop more genuine emotions.]

Ye Qiyan bent down and gently knocked on WALL-E's metal head. "I keep my promises." The chip attached to WALL-E's head, merging into its body as azure light.

Blue electricity flickered across its surface. Suddenly, WALL-E's surveillance camera-like eyes blinked.

[Emotional Intelligence Treasure-Hunting Robot·WALL-E]

[An intelligent treasure-hunting robot. Can consume one Train Coin to automatically search stations for valuables and bring them back to the train.]

[In non-treasure-hunting mode, operates normally without Train Coin cost. Can remain active long-term through self-charging and follows all owner instructions.]

[Formerly a garbage collection robot - may retain preference for collecting useless items.]

Now WALL-E no longer needed to hibernate. Basic functions could be maintained through electricity alone. Ye Qiyan familiarly knocked its metal head.

"Go get me some water."

Unlike before, the knocked WALL-E wasn't just a cold machine anymore. It pitifully covered its head with mechanical claws, perfectly embodying a bullied but obedient victim.

Its treads rolled as it quickly returned from the water tank with a cup. "Quite clever. Not bad. I'll go easier on you from now on." WALL-E nodded vigorously in agreement.

Then Ye Qiyan knocked it again. Seeing the little robot's even more aggrieved expression, he couldn't help bursting into laughter. "Pfft, alright alright, last time okay? Even if knocking your head is fun, I'll stop." He patted WALL-E's head.

Now he understood why Shaya had created a puppet like Tina. If even a little guy like WALL-E could bring joy to his boring train life, how much more a lifelike doll like Tina?

"I wonder if I'll ever create something like that."

"Maybe I will?"
