Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

"Is this the city?"

The train traveled over the sea, heading toward the main city of Miranda City.

This was the city station used to receive incoming Train Conductors.

Under normal circumstances, a Train Conductor entering Miranda City for the first time would stop here.

The modest train entered the Capsule Tunnel. The Guide and a few armed Guards responsible for this checkpoint stood by the doorway and called out in a clear voice:

"Honored Train Conductor, the system detected that your train is entering Miranda City for the first time. Please disembark for inspection and information registration."

Hearing the voices outside, the train's owner paid them no mind. He tugged a dog leash, opened the door, and stepped outside.

The Guard who had spoken swallowed hard at the sight of the tall figure emerging from the train, cloaked in black with a masked face.

"Sorry about this, inspections have been tight lately. There could be terrorist organizations threatening Miranda City, so we have to check. Put your hand on this. Your train level, ID number, and name will display, then you can leave."

His information appeared on it.

[Train Level: 3]

[Train Conductor ID: A-9-4931]

[Race: Human]

[Name: Forgotten]

"Level 3? Oh, you're one of that batch of new Train Conductors who suddenly showed up recently? What a strange lot.... It's fine, just register the info. Welcome to Miranda City."

The Guard said no more and turned away.

Only the Guide responsible for the tunnel remained, smiling as she looked up at the Smiling Face Person wearing the mask.

"Since you're a new Train Conductor, I recommend using the Capsule Tunnel. It only costs one Train Coin, and it ensures your train's safe entry into Miranda City~"

The Smiling Face Person scratched at his mask and took out a Train Coin.

The Guide, clearly intrigued by him, weighed the coin in her hand, fed it into the machine, and while the train was being stored, she said with a bright smile:

"For new Train Conductors at level 3 like yourself who want Flame Stones or other upgrade materials in the future, I recommend joining a Guild. In two days' time, the six major city-states, including the main city, will jointly hold the Hunting Military Gathering. Train Conductors of your level can join the rookie group.

If you perform exceptionally, you might even get a Flame Stone directly."

The Smiling Face Person scratched his mask again.

"Thanks. Why tell me this?"

The Guide shrugged.

"Because I want to become a permanent assistant to a Train Conductor. I think you look promising, at least from your stature. So could you give me a chance? Let me board your train?"

"Hunting Military Gathering?"

In the Puppet Arena, Ye Qiyan chewed on a candied hawthorn that Lisette had made from White Forest Fruit while manipulating the magical puppet on the fight console to battle others.

Eve had pulled out a poster from somewhere; it was all about the Hunting Military Gathering.

"Miranda City's annual carnival, leave the city-state, welcome interworld creatures and fight them?"

Ye Qiyan raised an eyebrow and loosened his grip on the controller.

"No wonder it's been so lively outside the last two days. So it's a festival? But what do they mean by letting interworld creatures invade?"

Eve and Lisette couldn't answer his question, but the opponent across from him in the arcade-like puppet match had heard his voice. He stood and walked straight over.

"This city was built by merging too many Low-Level Stations' plots and suffered a lot of trouble. Although in the end, under Lord Tengo's leadership, the city was established, some flaws remained.

Whenever the void's Turbulence forms a storm and invades Miranda City, monsters from other worlds break into this realm. At that time, Train Conductors, nobles, slaves—even ordinary people—will hear Lord Tengo's invitation to jointly go hunt those invading monsters.

Whoever hunts and defeats the most powerful interworld monsters will receive the title of Miranda Hero!

Hello, judging by your look, you're a Train Conductor too. I'm Glanz Magnus, and in two days, I will be the one to become Miranda's Hero!"

Ye Qiyan sized up the blond, blue-eyed youth who had extended his hand.

He patted Eve's head and told her to switch off the locked red targeting halo, then smiled and replied.

"My name is Li Xiaosheng. I am indeed a Train Conductor. Thanks for the introduction. I hope you achieve your wish of becoming a hero."

He shook Magnus's hand politely, withdrew his gaze, and rose to leave.

"Haha, of course I'll become a hero. But heroes can't hoard glory alone. Friend, we just fought with puppets, and I could feel it—you have a powerful force inside you that you haven't shown! You must be a very capable Train Conductor!"

He... could feel it?

Ye Qiyan calmly put his hand in his pocket and took out the Demon Card · Bewitchment from the Void Card Repository.

"Not very strong, my level isn't high. I'm barely scraping by in the Wasteland. As for the energy you sensed, well, any Train Conductor should have one or two life-saving tricks. But how did you tell?"

Magnus laughed loudly, hands on his waist. Under the card's bewitching influence, he pointed to his nose without restraint and boasted proudly:

"It's a talent. I had it since I was young.

My family had Train Conductors test me; it's an ability to sense the strength or weakness of any person or thing, so I got my own train early.

I train my ability every day! If I become a hero in this Military Gathering, Lord Tengo will personally grant me a carriage. I'll then set out into the Wasteland and become the most powerful Train Conductor!"

Having a train from youth and a special talent, yet never venturing into the Wasteland...

Stasis, but not completely stasis.

In some sense, it could count as sharpening the blade before chopping wood?

Because he never actually departed. He stayed at home under his family's protection and prepared himself as best he could before leaving.

Would the train system consider that a gift from others?

"Oh, that's impressive. So what's your train level?"

"Since my eighth birthday, my parents gave me one upgrade material every year. Now I'm twenty-three, and my train level has reached fifteen."
