Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

The Pure Cleansing Stone glowed once more, but just as the information displayed on the light screen indicated, the Level 5 stone had no effect on the Screaming Blood Progenitor.

The Blood Progenitor descended from the sky atop a swarm of bats, sneering at Ye Qiyan.

"Hunter, your kind never ceases to amaze me. Heh, three hundred years ago, my ancestor was slain by a train-riding hunter. Today, I shall avenge him. I'll give you one chance - kneel before me and become the first hunter vassal under the great Screaming Blood Clan, gaining eternal life!"

Eternal life? From this decrepit old bat?

Since when did a Level 5 station boss dare spout such nonsense?

Ye Qiyan chuckled dryly and casually tossed the Pure Cleansing Stone back into its storage unit.

"Ah? H-Hunter Lord, you...?"

Otanli, who had been hiding beside him, stared in shock at Ye Qiyan's action, thinking he was actually surrendering.

"Don't worry."

"I have no interest in surrendering to a frog at the bottom of a well."

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"It means he's dead."

Snap!

With a flick of his fingers, a golden heavy machine gun materialized before him.

The Screaming Blood Progenitor laughed scornfully.

"Foolish human! Your pathetic weapons mean nothing to—"

BANG!

Ye Qiyan pulled the trigger.

A single bullet shot forth, instantly obliterating the ancient creature's hand.

"ARGHHH!!"

An ear-piercing shriek echoed as the Blood Progenitor clutched his missing hand, writhing in pain as he crashed into the snow.

"It hurts! IT HURTS! Impossible! What kind of weapon is that?!"

A terrifying realization struck him - he could die! After centuries of existence, nothing frightened him more than death.

"Must escape! MUST ESCAPE!!"

Without hesitation, he turned to flee.

But before he could take another step, a storm of golden bullets intertwined with ethereal chants enveloped the arrogant old bat.

In mere moments, he was reduced to drifting ashes floating through the air.

Completely annihilated.

Rubbing his numb palms, Ye Qiyan noticed Otanli gaping beside him and waved a hand before the stunned villager's face.

"Wake up."

"Uh... Hunter Lord, that... that Blood Clan member just now... where did he...?"

"Dead, obviously. What else?"

"Eh?? Dead?!"

Otanli's shock was understandable. The oppressive aura the Screaming Blood Progenitor had emitted was overwhelming, especially after the Pure Cleansing Stone proved ineffective. He'd already given up hope.

Yet less than a minute after the Blood Progenitor's appearance, this Hunter Lord had produced a weapon and annihilated him instantly.

Otanli even wondered if he was dreaming, perhaps hallucinating while being drained of blood.

Ye Qiyan ignored the villager's bewilderment and walked to where the old bat had been reduced to ashes.

Truth be told, the creature had been unlucky.

Any other conductor arriving at this station with a Level 4 or 5 train would likely have perished against a Blood Progenitor immune to sub-Level 5 countermeasures.

But he'd encountered Ye Qiyan - an anomaly who possessed Level 6 equipment at Level 4.

Moreover, all of the old bat's abilities were perfectly countered.

Summon undead? The Blood Clan and bats turned to ash under the Pure Cleansing Stone, while human corpses had already been torn apart by the vampires themselves.

Mental influence?

Ye Qiyan checked his status.

His mental attributes had indeed dropped significantly, but the "Madness" debuff never appeared.

His mental state had remained consistent since leaving the Plains of the Knights.

【(Witness of Truth)】

Ye Qiyan didn't understand why, but it didn't seem like a bad thing.

After sifting through the ashes, he retrieved a shriveled, barely recognizable heart from the snow.

【Heart of a Blood Clan Baron】

【Upon consumption, converts user's race to Blood Clan】

【Conversion grants modules: Night Vision, Summon Bats, Bloodsucking, Create Vassals, Fear of Light, Evil】

【Note: After conversion, other racial transformation methods remain available but original race cannot be restored】

【Conversion grants irreversible title: Race Traitor】

【Race Traitor: Original race will harbor hatred toward convert】

"So many modules, but pretty trash."

It wasn't completely useless to him - just nearly so.

Aside from having no desire to stop being human, the old bat's hideous appearance alone was reason enough to reject becoming a vampire.

Still, just because he didn't want it didn't mean others wouldn't.

The Blood Clan was, after all, a fantastical race, and the modules gained from conversion would dominate lower-level stations.

If he posted a screenshot in the chat room now, it would spark a frenzy.

"Should fetch a good price."

After weighing the heart in his hand a few times, Ye Qiyan pocketed it.

"So this is what a hunting station means."

Killing targets to obtain special items like this heart offered far greater rewards than ordinary mission stations.

This station was effectively complete.

Ye Qiyan had no intention of lingering. As he prepared to return to the train, he spotted twin tread marks in the snow nearby.

Following the tracks led him to Otanli's backyard.

There, he found WALL-E vigorously wielding its mechanical claws, excavating a coffin from one of the family graves and retrieving a battered wooden box buried alongside skeletal remains.

Undoubtedly, this station's treasure chest.

"...Who designs these hiding spots?"

Ye Qiyan couldn't help but facepalm. Even after reading about absurd treasure chest locations in the chat room, he felt his took the prize for most abstract.

WALL-E emerged from the grave and, spotting Ye Qiyan, happily waved its claws while scampering over with the wooden box.

Patting the robot's head, Ye Qiyan praised, "Good job, WALL-E. I'll charge you extra when we get back."

"Th-that... Hunter Lord, is that your pet? And why was it digging in my family's graves? Wait... that box..."

Otanli, who had quietly followed, stared dumbfounded at the battered wooden box.

"You recognize it?"

"Not exactly, but I've heard stories. Supposedly, it's something left behind by the Hunter Lord who saved our village three hundred years ago."
