Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Chapter 614: Just for a Mere Four Hundred Train Coins?

"Are you joking? Altos! How could someone of that level possibly enter just a measly Level 9 Station World?"

Among the three guild presidents, one green-haired man wiped the sweat from his forehead, unwilling to believe this truth.

"There's no mistake. That dazzling feeling—like an eternal sun hanging in the sky, impossible to look at directly—is utterly unique. Only he, the Arrogance within the Demon Cards, could pull this off! That person is Altos! The Emperor's Order Demon whose true face no one can behold!"

A commotion erupted on the spot.

Altos.

If such an existence appeared in Wish Prayer Kingdom and even participated in this Wish War, it might be just for victory, for a few hundred Train Coins and quest rewards.

But...

"It can't possibly be just for the rewards. Do you believe that such an existence would willingly use some downgrading authority to enter this Level 9 Station World, hide his level below thirty-five, and come for nothing more than a wish capped at four hundred Train Coins and a quest reward?"

Another man with black-rimmed glasses furrowed his brow and said.

Among the three, the last one—a woman who seemed extremely frantic—bit her finger, her eyes filled with fear and tension.

Altos.

The Demon Mech-Dragon Man of the Emperor's Order.

For any Train Conductor with even slightly up-to-date information, they would know what this existence had done.

Because, thanks to a certain 150-centimeter Grand Judge deliberately orchestrating it, the news of [Altos Defeats Wasteland True God and the End] was even boldly written on his Wanted Poster.

Most Train Conductors had no idea what the End and the True God were.

But they knew that back in Suoluo City, that Altos had been the one who ended that war.

And also!

Not long before that, new news had once again reached many ears through various public chat rooms.

[The Emperor's Order Demon Altos Killed the City Lord of Miranda City, Agula Tengo, with a Single Blow]

Anyone who had traveled the Wasteland for more than six years knew just how formidable Akula Tengo was.

He was a genuine Top-Tier Train Conductor.

Yet, he had been taken out with a single blow.

Many didn't believe it.

But when a clear video appeared, they had no choice but to believe.

In short.

These three guild presidents were scared.

They feared death.

In fact, there were quite a few guilds like theirs.

They controlled the origin worlds for the special materials needed to upgrade trains between levels four and thirty.

These Train Conductors collaborated with guilds in various cities.

Forming a tangled, overlapping web of interests.

An ordinary Train Conductor wanting to upgrade their train level, unless they were incredibly lucky, had to join a guild, complete guild quests, and trade higher-value resources or items—even through guild tasks—to exchange for special upgrade materials of actual mediocre value.

Take Snow White's Heart, for example.

Its existence was meaningless to a train.

Originating from the hearts of the Snow White clan, which stored ice power within their bodies, apart from being an upgrade option, it was only useful as material for crafting low-level frost energy storage items.

That was all.

So, why did trains need these materials to upgrade?

Some people had thought about this question, but they chose not to dwell on it.

Because as long as they controlled such a world, they could harvest massive resources and stay there, enjoying a life like that of a "God."

They were right here.

[Stasis]

The green-haired man furrowed his brow.

"No matter what he wants, we'll just give it to him. We have no grudges. As long as we don't provoke him, it should be..."

The glasses man interrupted him.

"Idiot. He's a member of the Emperor's Order. Everyone in that organization is crazy. Who knows what they really want!?"

"Then what do you suggest!? I can't think of a damn thing!"

The green-haired man slumped down in frustration, extremely irritated by the current situation.

The glasses man exchanged a glance with the woman.

"There might be a way..."

The glasses man adjusted his glasses.

"Don't forget, he's participating in the Wish War. And in the Wish War, each 'Hero' can only use one type of power. In other words, if he wants to win the war, he won't use any other abilities. So... send those clueless brats the main guild keeps sending to gold-plate their resumes back. Have them dispatch six Train Conductors with single-system power paths. Also... hire some people from Abukado and get them into here too. As long as we can make the Abukado people run into the Emperor's Order Demon, we can stay hidden and wait for their fight to end. No matter who wins, it has nothing to do with us. After all, there's no way that Altos's target could be a few old farts like us, right?"

The woman and the green-haired man exchanged another glance.

This plan.

Didn't seem bad.

"So, the Train Coins to hire Abukado's people?"

The woman asked that.

The glasses man pushed up his glasses again, a cruel smile spreading across his face.

"No problem. Whatever we lose, after the Wish War ends and they leave this world, we'll just slowly take it back from those penned-up materials in this world~"

"Hero Brother... Thank you... Do you, really want to help me fulfill my wish?"

Snow White's Village.

Sherry led Ye Qiyan into an ice hut within the village.

Because of the "Heart Tax," less than half the population remained in this village.

Her parents had long become part of the Heart Tax, leaving her all alone in the household.

"Heh, of course. After all, I came to this world because I heard your call~ A Hero only has meaning by helping the weak~"

That was a lie.

Because Ye Qiyan's goal was just the Train Coins and the GT-series Blueprint from the Customer Service lady named Ailei.

He temporarily stayed at Sherry's home.

After killing those tax collectors, this village had enjoyed a rare moment of peace.

Ye Qiyan dispatched the Nano-Bee Swarm to gather information and intelligence in the surrounding area.

At the very least, he needed to find that Dongbo City.

"Hero Brother..."

At midday, Sherry lowered her eyes and asked softly in a sorrowful tone:

"Why do we have to have our hearts ripped out? We're an intelligent race too..."
