Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

As the battle in the training ground reached its conclusion.

The winner would undoubtedly still be Augustine.

Based on the fights between the Scoundrel and Lancelot, Ye Qiyan had finally made a decision.

Although Divine Core equipment could resonate with other Divine Core equipment.

What the Scoundrel lacked right now was never equipment, but more combat intelligence.

Otherwise, what difference was there between it and that [Abyss] which only knew how to charge recklessly?

Through Augustine's tempering, this guy could maintain a sliver of clarity even in its frenzy. Perhaps in the future, Augustine could turn that 'sliver of clarity' into a permanent state of lucid fury.

In comparison, Lancelot and the Endless Mechs were more lacking in weaponry.

Therefore, this Divine Core, Ye Qiyan would give to Lancelot.

He walked into the training ground, approached Lancelot amidst the salutes of the many mech-soldiers, and took out that core of the Kamaitachi God.

"It's your turn for an upgrade."

Lancelot knelt on one knee, its massive mech body performing a knight's salute.

It could not speak, nor did it know what its sworn master intended to do. It only knew it must accept its master's gift.

Ye Qiyan tossed the core towards Lancelot. Upon contact, the core shattered.

A cluster of wind blades materialized, gradually solidifying in the air into a knight's lance, its tip a spiraling wind blade condensed in emerald green.

[Endless Mech - Lancelot Exclusive Armament]

[Kamaitachi - Windblade Lance Cavalry]

[When attacking, can consume energy to attach wind blades with a cutting effect.]

[Throwing the knight's lance causes a Kamaitachi Wind Vortex upon impact.]

"Not a shield, huh? Not bad at all."

Looking at the appraised equipment information, Ye Qiyan was quite satisfied.

He had Lancelot duel Augustine one-on-one again.

Although the result was still Augustine's victory, numerous slashing marks now adorned its body.

It was, after all, a product of a Divine Core. As Lancelot's strength continued to grow in the future, the effectiveness this weapon could unleash would become even more formidable.

So then, why was the Scoundrel, possessing several Divine Core weapons, still so weak?

No, or rather, why did the Divine Cores manifest on it mostly as shields, or as devices for Ye Qiyan to manually control?

Gazing at the Scoundrel, which had already returned to the Hangar for recharging, Ye Qiyan suddenly realized something.

The Scoundrel... was afraid?

Because it feared death, it desired shields to protect itself. Because it feared being unable to control more power, that's why the Goblin God's Divine Core transformed into a control device.

It... feared battle? Feared death?

That's why... it chose to abandon reason and thought, resorting to madness to face the enemy at the most critical moment of a battle.

Because only then could it forget fear, could it continue to fight.

Why?

Ye Qiyan stood before the Scoundrel, riding the lift platform. He reached out his hand, gently pressing it against the head of this beautiful pure-white mech.

"Because it's not strong enough yet, that's why it's afraid..."

The starting point of the White Bear was low, but to be honest, the Scoundrel's starting point wasn't high either.

Initially, it was just an extremely ordinary Level 6 unit captured by Ye Qiyan. It was only after undergoing Sublimation and receiving multiple Divine Core enhancements that it became what it is now.

Continuous battles, enemies growing ever stronger, made its role become increasingly insignificant.

So, it was afraid. Afraid of losing, afraid of dying, afraid of being utterly destroyed.

Ye Qiyan felt no dissatisfaction with this emotion. He simply gently stroked the Scoundrel, calmly promising:

"Fear isn't shameful. Having more shields is fine too. I'll give you more shields. The condition is, you must learn to control them well, even... in a state of rampage."

The Scoundrel could not speak. It only let out a beast-like roar, as if making a promise to Ye Qiyan.

It would succeed. Sooner or later.

Time: 11:59:22

Ye Qiyan was soaking his entire body in the water storage car, bathing in an artificial hot spring heated by [Nefeti].

Beep beep—

The familiar system notification sound woke him. Casually placing Nefeti, which was floating on the water's surface, onto the tray Lisette was holding beside him, Ye Qiyan removed his towel and summoned the system interface.

On the interface was a message someone had sent him.

Russell, the current CEO of RUN Company, a native human from a certain Station World, who was bewitched by the former Boss to become cannon fodder for the descent of a divine will.

Later, he was secretly promoted by Menrojina to become the Boss of RUN Company. He occasionally sent Ye Qiyan some intelligence.

Ye Qiyan's strongest impression of him was that he was quite easy to fool.

He wondered if Russell had grown at all during this time since becoming the Boss.

["Bro, recently RUN Company's business has expanded to more and more cities. More and more Train Conductors who were once natives have joined us. We've even used the Cubes left behind by the former Boss to enter Novice Station Worlds and helped many people!"]

["It's just, I don't know who's selling something called a Trial Administrator Experience Voucher outside. It's so expensive, 100 Train Coins per ticket... but people are still buying them."]

["Bro, you know what? Those newcomers are so strong. It's really hard to imagine they're newcomers. Feels like every one of them is stronger than me..."]

["Oh right, Bro, that mysterious big sister told me today to transport a batch of Substitute Rights Cubes to Miranda City. I have a feeling... something big is about to happen."]

Hmm?

Ye Qiyan raised an eyebrow.

He thought the intelligence Russell sent this time wouldn't be very useful, but it seemed there was actually some value.

The person selling Trial Administrator Experience Vouchers was definitely that charlatan, Zhu Xingshu.

But why was Menrojina transporting Substitute Rights Cubes to Miranda City?

He knew that place was also one of the twelve original cities, which meant the Homeward-bound Souls organization existed behind it.

Could it be Menrojina was planning to do something there?

Ritual Cards? Or... something else?

["Your intelligence is very useful. Don't worry, just be a good Boss. I'll handle matters outside. Everything, for humanity."]

He casually replied, not waiting for Russell to say anything else before preparing to close the chat interface.

What Menrojina did had little to do with him. As long as it wasn't related to that charlatan Zhu Xingshu, it probably wouldn't involve him.

But just then, another message appeared before him.

The sender was Zhu Xingshu.

["Congratulations to Brother Ye for passing the Abyss Trial~ Hehe, want to come to Miranda City to participate in a united and friendly activity?"]

"Tsk..."

This charlatan probably timed sending this message precisely.

Miranda City... Alright, it seemed Menrojina's actions were definitely related to her as well.

Although his good mood was disturbed, Ye Qiyan still typed a line on the interface.

["What time?"]

Any promise Ye Qiyan made, as long as it wasn't a lie, he would never break.

So this time, he would attend.
