Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 56: Blueprint for the Hunting Mech DragonThree hundred years ago, a hunter.
No, it should be said a train conductor.
This box—was it left behind by that train conductor?
But according to the system scan, this was indeed a level 5 treasure chest.
A treasure chest left by a train conductor? How could anyone be so kind?
There was one more thing that had been on his mind ever since he first heard that this station had a train conductor arriving three hundred years ago.
Three hundred years. According to Sister Shaya, a batch of survivors appeared every three years. That means this train survival game must have had at least a hundred batches of survivors, right?
No, that couldn't be right. Shaya had said that few train conductors from batches before her were known, unless she was lying. Otherwise, with her train conductor level of over fifty, she would know more about previous train conductors than a newbie like him who hadn't survived past the first ten stations.
It made no sense.
Then forget it.
"I passed through this village just to find this wooden box. Don't think the stuff inside is precious; it’s the reason those vampires came here. Now that I’m taking it away, this village will finally be safe."
He was still good at making up stories on the spot. Otanli didn’t doubt him for a second and believed this tale.
"Thank you! Great Hunter Lord! On behalf of everyone in the village, I thank you for your help!"
Otanli bowed deeply to Ye Qiyan. Watching him about to leave the village, he hesitated for a long time, then suddenly shouted loudly:
"Hunter Lord!"
Ye Qiyan, who was about to return to the train to open the treasure chest, stopped in his tracks and turned around in confusion.
"Something else?"
Otanli trudged through the thick snow and hurried up to him. Swallowing nervously, he cautiously said:
"Hunter Lord, now I’m the only one left in the village. I... could I possibly..."
"My train has only one seat."
Ye Qiyan knew what he wanted to say and refused without hesitation.
He was not the type to live or adventure with others. He would not allow anyone else to board the train that belonged solely to him, not now, not ever.
At most, like Shaya, he might use dolls or other technologies to create companions belonging only to him.
He never trusted strangers.
Otanli's words were stuck in his throat, and he stood there stunned and helpless in the wind and snow.
Ye Qiyan shook his head in his heart, thought for a moment, and continued:
"Go elsewhere. Don’t stay here. Since you’re the only one left in the village, you have to live for them."
"If you encounter danger, like this time, use this coin to go out and look for help. Maybe other ‘hunters’ will come to assist you."
Ye Qiyan took out a train coin and shook it in front of Otanli, then put it away again.
"As for how to find them, that depends on your luck."
With that, he did not stay any longer and, braving the worsening blizzard, headed back to his train.
This dreadful weather made him long even more for the comfort of the temperature-controlled carriage.
Back on the train, after deducting the early departure privilege, he still had two and a half hours before he could leave the station.
Ye Qiyan slipped into the temperature-controlled carriage, took off his thick cotton clothes that were about to freeze solid, and immediately threw himself onto the soft big bed.
"Phew~ This trench’s weather is deadly. Hey, WALL-E, go to the storage and find some beef to roast."
"Alright, stop giving me that pitiful look. I said I’d charge you, and I won’t go back on my word. Go get the meat. I’ll roast it myself."
WALL-E happily quickened its pace toward the storage carriage.
Although it couldn’t put items into the storage unit, as long as Ye Qiyan gave permission, it could still take items out of the storage unit.
After tossing a piece of beef onto the grill and waiting a while, Ye Qiyan’s body warmed considerably. Only then did he turn his gaze to the only two gains from this station.
[Level 5 Treasure Chest] (Can be opened)
This was the first time he had obtained a level 5 treasure chest from a station. Once sublimated, the treasure chest would become level 6.
Thinking about the level 6 items he already possessed, Ye Qiyan was filled with boundless anticipation for the rewards inside this chest.
"Sublimate."
[Stamina: 85→45] [Spirit: 67→37]
Seventy points.
Compared to leveling from 4 to 5, it was twenty points more—not much.
[Level 6 Treasure Chest] (Can be opened)
[Open Treasure Chest]
Without hesitation, Ye Qiyan opened the treasure chest. To his surprise, aside from the expected train coins, there was only one item. More accurately, it was a blueprint.
[Obtained: 24 Train Coins]
[Obtained: Hunting Mech Dragon Manufacturing Blueprint (No Level)]
[Hunting Mech Dragon Manufacturing Blueprint (No Level) (Phase One) (Crafting Times: 1/2)]
[Requirements: 1 Mind Magic Cube, 1000 kilograms of metal, 800 mechanical parts, 1 Emotional Intelligence Chip]
[Note: This is a blueprint created by a ??? before their demise.]
[Note 2: This was an item seized by a train conductor who, before dying, broke into a lower-level station. Unable to reverse their own death and following the principle that what they could not obtain, others should not either, they threw it into the low-level station and formed a treasure chest at this station.]
[Note 3: This treasure chest was originally level 5 but was upgraded to level 6 by some talent. Since the contents couldn’t be changed, the train coin reward was increased to 24.]
"Huh?????"
Seeing the blueprint’s description, Ye Qiyan thought he wasn’t fully awake. He rubbed his eyes hard to confirm he hadn’t read it wrong, then gaped in disbelief.
"Something that requires 1000 kilograms of metal and 800 mechanical parts to build? And so many notes. System, since when did you get so diligent?"
[Train System follows the philosophy of serving the train conductor in all things. For items beyond your current level, more annotations will appear to help novice train conductors understand.]
"A blueprint made by three question marks, then snatched by a high-level train conductor. That’s really interesting. Hey, I definitely want to build this and see it for myself. But where do I get this Mind Magic Cube?"
Rubbing his chin, he realized this thing probably wasn’t something the train conductors in this sector could learn about. The best way to figure out the Mind Magic Cube was to get information from Shaya.
But for now, he suppressed that thought.
The next station was the tenth station. Once he got past it, the novice period would end. Who knew what would happen then? It wouldn’t be too late to ask later.
The gains this station weren’t many in quantity, but the heart of a vampire baron that could transform races would definitely sell for a good price, and the Hunting Mech Dragon Manufacturing Blueprint was even more mysterious, making Ye Qiyan eagerly anticipate the day he could build it.
With the 24 train coins from the treasure chest, his total train coin count rose to 31.
Although it seemed like quite a bit, Ye Qiyan felt it still wasn’t enough to buy a level 5 train upgrade option, so he would keep saving without rushing.
All thoughts ended there.
Ye Qiyan came back to his senses and licked his lips while looking at the sizzling beef dripping oil on the grill.
Nothing could lift his spirits more than eating roasted meat in a blizzard. If anything, hot pot would be the only thing better.
