Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

As the last line of text disappeared, a voiceprint appeared on the light screen.

The voiceprint wriggled, and from it came a synthesized voice, indistinguishable as male or female, yet somehow conveying an incredibly gentle feeling.

[I salute you, Master.]

"You can speak?"

[You granted me partial intelligence from the very beginning. Now, possessing a [Core], I have learned the language of your race.]

[Please do not blame me, Master. I know the creation beside you requires few words. Today is the moment of my core's birth. I wish to convey my respect to you.]

[If you require it, I will naturally deactivate the speech function.]

"No need, being able to speak is fine too. Do you know about the Abyss? Also, the 'He' mentioned on the light screen earlier, is that the apex of the Abyss Species, a True God?"

[That is correct.]

From the Abyss Mech-soldier's words, Ye Qiyan also learned some things about the Abyss Species.

The so-called Abyss Species are not a race born from the [Abyss]. They are beings selected by Him and pulled into the Abyss to be transformed.

Whether human, Goblin, or Giant, anyone He takes a liking to will be dragged into the [Abyss], their past, present, and future erased, becoming an Abyss Species like a toy ornament.

The Abyss Mech-soldier does not know how it escaped from the Abyss, nor does it understand at all why it came to be possessed by a Goblin God.

It only knows that it was Ye Qiyan who bestowed it with a will. If its core had a name, that name would undoubtedly be [Loyalty].

It has no past, but after being obtained by Ye Qiyan, it has gained a future.

[Master, may I ask you for a gift?]

"Oh? What do you want? Nothing too expensive~ Your master is currently as poor as a church mouse."

[A name.]

[Please bestow a name upon me. The moment you granted me a core, I ceased to belong to the Abyss. I am only the loyal knight who exists to protect you.]

"A name..."

Ye Qiyan's gaze met that of the Abyss Mech-soldier.

He wasn't very good at naming things.

But, if he had to give it a suitable name...

His mind recalled a story he had seen before entering the Wasteland, about a slave who broke free from his shackles and walked towards the future.

"Augustine. How about that name?"

Augustine, the protagonist of that fictional story.

A being who later grew into a true knight.

He didn't know if the world from that fictional story truly existed.

[Augustine. That is my name. Master, Augustine thanks you for bestowing this name.]

The Abyss... no, Augustine lowered its head.

Like a true knight.

And this was the imprint of [the past] that had not been erased by "Him," even after it became an Abyss Species.

Having settled Augustine, Ye Qiyan had it fight against the Scoundrel, plus Lancelot and the Wuzhong squad in the firing range.

With a core, Augustine's combat intelligence skyrocketed.

Its overwhelmingly powerful physical capabilities were utilized to their maximum potential.

It wasn't until all the Wuzhong units and the Scoundrel, which had activated its berserk mode, attacked together that they finally managed a fifty-fifty stalemate with Augustine.

And this was only because it lacked suitable weapons. Otherwise, the battle would have definitely ended with Augustine's overwhelming victory.

Ye Qiyan simply made Augustine the instructor for the Scoundrel and the Wuzhong units, having them fight in the firing range to accumulate experience.

This was also the best way to grow stronger without enhancement items.

Time: 12:30:30

In the Climate-Controlled Carriage, after finishing the luxurious lunch prepared by Lisette, Ye Qiyan glanced at the time on his pocket watch and put down his chopsticks.

"It's about time to enter the next station."

Compared to being a Trial Administrator for newcomers, continuing his own adventures and witnessing more wondrous worlds was far more interesting.

[Crossroads of Fate triggered.]

[Please choose from the following Station Worlds as your forty-second station.]

[Station One: The Nation of Odd Laws (Level 9? Station)]

[Station Two: The Great Maze of Eidyn (Level 9 Escape Station)]

[Please, make your choice.]

"What does this question mark mean?"

Ye Qiyan frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

[The question mark represents the unknown. It may be a composite type, for example, combining mission, hunt, and slaughter, or it may be subject to some interference that prevents the train system from making a judgment.]

The System answered his confusion, though the answer seemed to make things even stranger.

"Interesting. Both Station One and Station Two look quite fun, and they're both Level 9. This is a bit of a tough choice."

Ye Qiyan thought for a moment, his eyes scanning back and forth between the two station names.

Finally, he made a decision.

"I choose Station One."

Although there are more unknowns, mazes tend to be more troublesome.

Might as well go to a completely unknown Station World; it might be even more interesting.

[Station selection complete.]

[Please remain seated and hold on.]

[The Train will soon arrive at your forty-second station: The Nation of Odd Laws.]

The void manifested, the tracks extended.

The steam whistle sounded at this moment.

The Train began to accelerate.

As it traversed that familiar void.

As the scenery outside the train window underwent a dramatic transformation.

Ye Qiyan's forty-second Station World arrived today.

[Ding-dong, the Train has arrived at the forty-second station, The Nation of Odd Laws.]

[Current Station: ?]

[This is an Advanced Station. There is no time limit for the stopover.]

[Current methods to leave the station: Spend 150 Train Coins / Find this world's departure coordinate point.]

[Please, be careful.]

The familiar prompt light screen unfolded.

Its content was largely the same as before, but there were two differences.

First, the area that should have displayed this station's danger level had become a question mark.

Second, among the methods to leave the Advanced Station World, only spending money and finding the coordinates were listed. The normally present [Complete this station's objective] did not exist.

There was one more thing.

On the Sand Table, the red dots that should have displayed this station's dangerous units also did not appear.

Even before exploring this Station World, Ye Qiyan sensed something odd.

[Gra... grab...]

A slight tugging sensation came from his pant leg.

Ye Qiyan smiled slightly and patted the iron head of the little robot who couldn't wait any longer.

"Same as always, be careful."

With the command given, WALL-E left the Train.

No matter how strange this station was, he was about to begin a real adventure.

[Open door.]

He pressed the button.

Stepped out of the Train.

The scene outside was laid out before him.

This place was a train station.

On both sides of the platform, there were many humans who seemed to be waiting for a train, and beside these humans followed... special lifeforms?

Just then, not far away, a girl wearing blue and white clothing and a wide-brimmed hat shouted in his direction:

"Hey, Train Conductor over there! You can't leave your post during work hours! Hurry back! If the Law-Teaching Society catches you, don't say I didn't warn you!"
