Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Alright, alright, they’re not even pretending anymore.

After the system interface went silent with that single “ding~,” it refused to offer any further response.

Ye Qiyan knew, of course, that the thing was doing it on purpose.

He had no idea why, but more and more, he felt that the System had become far more lively and personality-driven than before.

“Fine, you win.”

Though speechless, to say he wouldn’t buy? Of course that was impossible.

One thousand five hundred Train Coins for the upgrade options—he wanted to see exactly what made these things worth so much money.

He touched the Light Screen.

Starting with the first option, the System presented him with the identification information for these upgrades.

【Category: Cuisine】

【After retiring, a champion chef from the Chef World used legally farmed meat dragons, dragon-breath chili peppers, and soft cow’s milk tofu, simmered for forty-nine days to create this dish, imbued with the passion and culinary skill of this champion-level chef.】

【Upon first consumption, the consumer permanently increases their stamina cap by 30 points.】

【Special Note: Any alteration to this dish will change its nature. Adding extra seasonings or using special powers might turn this delicacy into a powerful bomb!】

Ye Qiyan opened his mouth.

Staring at the mouthwatering Mapo Tofu pictured in the introduction, he suddenly felt that this thousand-plus Train Coins wasn’t such a big deal anymore.

“Thirty stamina cap points, heh. I guess you really do find everything in the Wasteland—there’s actually a chef who can make something like this.”

The Wasteland had everything, and anything could happen.

Even a chef, if they could grow to the level of producing dishes like this, could probably secure a very high status by finding any decent-sized city or faction.

Three hundred Train Coins for a thirty-point stamina cap.

This was truly...

Too cheap.

His gaze continued downward, moving to the second upgrade option.

The first one had surprised him. He hoped the next ones wouldn’t be too disappointing.

【Carriage Interior Fabrication Gem · Gentle Wind Pasture】

【Requirement: Possess [Skin Producer] / [Master Dynamic Train Skin Creator] Module to use.】

【Enables internal Dynamic Train Skin crafting.】

【Consumables required: Advanced Wind Elemental Gem ×1】

【Upon successful crafting, any carriage interior can be transformed into the【Gentle Wind Pasture】small world.】

【Gentle Wind Pasture】

【Space is stable, unaffected by attacks outside the norm on the Train.】

【Animals raised in this pasture will receive the special buffs【Production UP↑】【Growth Acceleration UP↑】】

【Pets raised in this pasture will receive the special buffs【Wound Recovery UP↑】【Extreme Comfort】】

【Note: Dynamic Train Skins inherit the original abilities of the carriage.】

Another decent upgrade option.

Back in Miranda City, his train had been stored in the Subspace platform. Due to spatial fluctuations, many of the animals in the Breeding Car had been lost.

If he could install this Dynamic Train Skin, he would never have to worry about similar incidents happening again.

He scrolled down further, and the third upgrade option’s information appeared.

【Fire Demon · Cremation Flame】

【Restriction: Can only be used by Fire-attribute Contract Beasts.】

【Upon use, the Contract Beast will gain the【Demon Race】concept and the【Cremation Flame】prefix.】

A Fire-attribute Contract Beast.

It was practically pointing directly at that round, squishy thing he’d been using as a hot spring floor heater every day—Nefeti.

Its potential was, in a sense, genuinely strong.

Even more impressive than the newly born Goshawk back then.

He hadn’t expected to have to upgrade that little thing so soon.

Well, looks like that was settled.

Ye Qiyan was about to have another subordinate with the Demon concept.

Having finished examining the first three options, it was finally time for the last one—whose name alone made it utterly unappealing, and was also the cheapest: 【No Entry Barricade】.

【No Entry Barricade (Level 8)】

【When placed at an【intersection】, intelligent life forms approaching from the direction the barricade faces will be affected by the barricade and will not enter that path.】

The effect was simple.

As the cheapest option, its ability actually seemed... pretty decent?

“It costs at least 100 Train Coins, after all... Huh... I guess I’ve been spending too much money lately—I’m almost losing my concept of what a 100-Train-Coin upgrade option means, right?”

As a functional item, sometimes it might actually prove useful. Besides, this thing had a level and a physical form.

Which meant—

It could be Sublimed.

Among the other three options, he wasn’t planning to Sublime the first Mapo Tofu.

Just as its description said, if subliming it caused it to lose the stamina cap increase effect and simply turn into a powerful bomb, that would be a real shame.

As for the remaining two, he’d just let them wait in line.

“Sigh...”

Ye Qiyan let out a melancholic sigh.

He packed up the last batch of loot from the Raven Demon’s burlap sack, then opened the black market once again.

He contacted that Customer Service lady.

【Ding-ding~ Black Market Customer Service at your service, esteemed Level 4 Member. What would you like to trade?】

【“I forgot to sell these earlier. Just recycle them directly for me. No need to put them on the black market trading counter.”】

【“Understood. Scanning now.”】

The black market’s Light Screen scanned through those spoils.

One hundred and twenty-seven.

That was the final number of Train Coins Ye Qiyan got in his hands.

Without hesitation, he purchased all the Train options.

In the end, his Train Coin count once again dropped to a pitiful two digits—

Twenty-five coins...

“Oh well, there will always be a chance to earn more.”

He smiled faintly, about to close the black market’s Light Screen, when the Customer Service lady suddenly spoke up:

“Member, has your next stop been decided?”

“Hm?”

Strange.

This was the second time he had heard this black market Customer Service lady talk about something unrelated to trading.

The first time was the Trickster Play Sword.

Ye Qiyan narrowed his eyes. Bewitchment and Arrogance emerged from the Void Card Repository.

“Something like that.”

“Something like that, huh. Alright, please rest assured, esteemed member—I bear no malice toward you, nor do I intend to probe. I simply wanted to ask if you have a preferred next station in mind. If not... please check your mailbox.”

A brand-new email appeared in his inbox.

Ye Qiyan opened it. Inside was a letter sealed with violet wax.

He tore open the letter, and the information inside automatically floated into the air before Ye Qiyan.

【Holy Rail · Chapter One】

【With a coin of the gods, pray for a hero from another world to descend upon the mortal realm.】

【Sanctuary · Act One】

【Pray to the hero, with incomplete power, to fulfill our wishes.】

Those were the only words on the letter.

Just as Ye Qiyan finished reading it all, the System’s voice rang out from the broadcast.

【Ding-dong~】

【Triggered Mission: Wish War】

【Assist this world’s summoners in defeating other Train Conductors who have descended into that world.】

【If you answer this call, the world’s name, coordinates, and mission details will automatically appear.】

【Accept this mission?】

【Yes / No】
