Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

When the Transcend Warhead crushed the final Abyss Dragon.

When the last vestige of the Abyss's power lingering within its body dissipated.

Finally, it was all over.

Ye Qiyan stood in the air, looking down at the deep crater blasted out by the Transcend Warhead at the bottom, and shook his head.

If it hadn't been transformed into an Abyss Species...

This dragon, that mech-soldier, that first human who found release, they too would have had their own stories and futures.

The Abyss, an existence born powerful and supremely arrogant, treating everything as toys to play with at will.

He didn't catch Him this time, but Ye Qiyan had a feeling that he and this [Abyss] would meet again.

The trial ended, the achievement completed.

Now, he could leave.

However, WALL-E was still outside searching for treasures and hadn't returned yet, so he had to wait a while longer.

Standing on the ground, the various Card Sequences behind him returned to the Void Card Repository one after another.

The Tear-Engraving Sword returned to Red Tears's embrace, and her appearance reverted to her original all-red form.

Ye Qiyan summoned the Train from the Matrix. Mingming flew out through the train window, looked around, and let out an ethereal, pleasant cry.

"Ding-ling-ling~"

She conveyed her affection to Ye Qiyan and told him.

[The Abyss] was no longer here.

Why was she so sure about this?

Ye Qiyan didn't know, and Mingming herself didn't know either.

But it wasn't important.

Ye Qiyan pinched her cheek and placed the little Demon Spirit on his shoulder.

He then deployed the Honeycomb Carriage, letting the nano-bee swarm cooperate with the Raven demon to collect the spoils of war.

The Armament Hangar had long been opened, with mech-soldiers led by Augustine and Lancelot fanning out to mop up the remaining monsters.

And, to rescue any people still alive within this Blackstone Fortress.

If, anyone was still alive.

"...Tsk."

The harvest wasn't as plentiful as imagined, because that Abyss's Corruption ability had turned many items and materials suitable for recycling into scrap. Even Gluttony was unwilling to eat corpses corrupted by the Abyss.

Gluttony's resistance was even stronger than when it faced the Strange Species before.

Ye Qiyan didn't forcefully order it to try eating one, but, he noted this debt in his heart.

That chatterbox Gossipmonger Abyss, if he got the chance in the future, he definitely had to teach Him a good lesson.

The spoils of war were a bust, but there were still quite a few other gains.

For example, completing the trial and the reward from that achievement that suddenly popped up.

[Abyss Trial Cleared]

[Congratulations, Train Conductor E-3-1102-Ye Qiyan]

[The System has issued your trial reward]

[System Authority - Novice Invitation]

[Can invite any lifeform (preferably possessing human characteristics) from a single Station World to become a new Train Conductor eligible to enter [Novice Stations]]

[This new Train Conductor, after completing the Novice Ten Stations, will be automatically assigned to your Sector]

"Huh? There's this kind of authority? But Novice Ten Stations? Calculating the time, the current batch of newcomers in the Wasteland should be almost finished with their ten stations, right? Even if I recruit a newcomer, so what? Can they join halfway?"

Ye Qiyan was somewhat puzzled.

The System immediately answered his question.

[They are not connected. The Train Conductor invited by a Train Conductor using this authority will enter an independent Novice Ten Stations.]

"Hah? There's that kind too? But it still doesn't feel very impressive. After all, if I just buy a locomotive section, can't I also make someone else a Train Conductor?"

The System answered once again:

[It is not the same. Train Conductors who become such through non-special authority invitations will not experience the Novice Ten Stations. Not experiencing the Novice Ten Stations means they will not receive the protection of the [??? Protocol]. Furthermore, Train Conductors who do not experience the Novice Ten Stations will also not possess a Sector—Number—Public Chat Room.]

"So that's how it is... Huh? Then, does that mean many people have this kind of authority? Oh no, let me rephrase, are there others who possess this kind of authority?"

[Insufficient authority, no comment.]

"Understood, thanks."

[...]

"Ah, why don't you also tell me if everyone who passes the Abyss Trial gets this authority? And, how much does this thing cost in the upgrade options?"

[..]

The System didn't answer.

"Tch~ Cheapskate, fine, don't tell me then."

Ye Qiyan chuckled, then fell into thought.

The System's authorities are all very expensive. Even in the upgrade options, the cheapest ones cost at least one or two thousand Train Coins.

And conservatively estimating, the price for this invitation authority, without a System discount, would be around ten thousand Train Coins? Or higher?

So, Wasteland natives who become Train Conductors by purchasing a locomotive section and Train Conductors who have experienced the Novice Ten Stations are actually not the same.

And according to the System's answer, there should also be some people who possess this kind of System authority, using invitations to make certain promising existences from Station Worlds become Train Conductors capable of traveling in the Wasteland.

"Hmm... System, are there any other requirements for this authority?"

[Yes. This authority can only be used once per Station World. Furthermore, the invitee must be willing; coercion is not allowed. If the other party refuses, the usage count for that Station World is void.]

"Tch, I knew it wasn't that simple."

Ye Qiyan curled his lip.

To be honest, this authority didn't mean much to him.

After all... he didn't particularly enjoy interacting with strangers, nor would he trust others so easily.

Humans are complex; communicating with them is often so troublesome.

The machines and demons in the Train are much warmer.

Next, it was time for the achievement reward.

[Achievement Reward]

[Train Armament Enhancement: Super Drill!]

"?"

[Super Drill]

[Requires possession of a [Drill]-type Train Armament to obtain. After enhancement, the Drill-type Train Armament will undergo unique strengthening.]

"Train Armaments can actually be enhanced too?"

Ye Qiyan raised an eyebrow.

It wasn't that he hadn't tried to use Sublimation on the Train Armaments on the Train, but the Train Armaments and the Train were one entity. Touching a Train Armament was equivalent to touching the Train itself, and ultimately the target of Sublimation would become the Train itself.

Train Armaments are indeed good things.

But so far, the ones he used the most were only the Imminent Demise Drill and the Wealth Protective Barrier.

Now he could add the Boundless Machine Armament to that list.

If something like this could also be enhanced, he was still more inclined to enhance the Wealth Protective Barrier.

After all, in the current Advanced Station worlds, the protective level of the Wealth Protective Barrier really wasn't that great anymore.

Even in the Wasteland, facing some extreme weather, it required The Hunt to activate Guard Mode to withstand it.

But, a drill is fine too.

Among the Train Armaments, his favorite was also the Imminent Demise Drill.

Because.

It's cool.

So, for this station, apart from WALL-E who hadn't returned yet, there were only the final Divine Cores left.

The Kamaitachi, and the Plague Rat.

Two C-grade Gods.

"System, turn the Kamaitachi's core into equipment. As for that rat... turn it into a consumable."
