Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Early the next morning.

[6:30:00]

Unlike usual, the Crossroads of Fate was triggered at this time.

Ye Qiyan, who had just woken from his sleep, looked at the light screen before him, rubbed his eyes, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"So early? Even the station entry time has changed."

"But what's the point of the Crossroads of Fate triggering when entering the City of a Thousand Stars?"

[Crossroads of Fate Triggered]

[Please choose from the following paths.]

[Path One: Main Gate of City of a Thousand Stars]

"Lower District?"

After brief hesitation, Ye Qiyan still chose the path to the main gate.

This time there was no need to wait half an hour. Immediately after making the selection, the station entry prompt appeared on the light screen.

"Entering station."

Acceleration, nothingness.

Passing through.

The scenery outside the window abruptly changed.

The train moved from the endless wasteland onto a massive railway bridge. In the sparkling ocean, some strange creatures leaped about.

And there were many bridges like this.

Each one contained hundreds of tracks.

Trains of various shapes and sizes traveled upon them.

They should all be members of some Sector.

Directly ahead of the tracks, an enormous star-veined city that stretched beyond sight floated in mid-air. Countless railway tracks spiraled around various parts of the city, like the rings of a planet.

Ding ding—

Zhao Lin: ["Brother Ye, did you accept that invitation? Which place did you choose?"]

["City of a Thousand Stars. Haven't you chosen yet?"]

["Choosing now, I'll also pick City of a Thousand Stars. I'll treat you to a meal later, hehe. I got quite a few Train Coins at the last station."]

["Okay"]

Ding ding—

Another message.

Shangguan Yingxue: ["Where did you choose?"]

["Do you women like to talk to people at the same time?"]

["?"]

["Just joking. I chose City of a Thousand Stars. How about you?"]

["I'm not there."]

["That's a bit unfortunate."]

["..."]

The chat ended. About half an hour later, the train began to slow down.

A majestic gate appeared before them.

Ding ding—

A new message appeared in the mailbox.

[Welcome to City of a Thousand Stars]

The train whistle sounded.

The train stopped at a Gothic-style platform, entering a separate tunnel before finally coming to a complete stop.

A man in uniform walked over and stood before the train door. He observed Ye Qiyan's train, cleared his throat, and knocked on Ye Qiyan's door.

The door opened. After stepping out of the train, the man nodded slightly to him with a friendly smile.

"Greetings, respected Train Conductor. Welcome to the City of a Thousand Stars. I am your Guide and will explain matters related to the City of a Thousand Stars here. For the coming time, you may stay here for three days, or you may choose to join a guild to obtain longer docking time and resources through the guild's capabilities."

Guide. This name made Ye Qiyan recall the Smiling Mask he had seen that day at the Public Trading Station.

He wondered how that guy was doing now.

"I came here by invitation. May I ask what I should do next?"

"Nothing at all. After choosing to come to the City of a Thousand Stars, you will possess a special coordinate. After leaving, every three stations, you may consume two Train Coins to change your next destination to the City of a Thousand Stars. Here, all Train Conductors will spend at least three days of rest time. Whether it's food, entertainment, or any need you can imagine—as long as you spend Train Coins, everything can be accomplished."

So that's how it is.

Ye Qiyan finally understood why these organizations sent invitation messages immediately after newcomers completed ten stations.

Getting more newcomers to come within their sphere of influence meant that later, Train Conductors who grew weary and fearful would inevitably choose to come here every three stations, either to survive or to enjoy themselves.

And as for whose pocket those two Train Coins would ultimately end up in—that went without saying.

"What about my train? Just leave it here?"

The Guide shook his head, as if he had anticipated this question long ago, and took out a key, handing it to Ye Qiyan.

"The City of a Thousand Stars has special train preservation capsule slots, right here. For just one Train Coin, you can get absolutely secure preservation of your train for three days. The key will remain in your hands, and only you can open it. Please rest assured about this—even the highest-level managers absolutely cannot open it."

He understood now.

In short, it required spending money.

What if he didn't buy this preservation slot?

Anyone could figure out that by the time he returned from going out, probably only the train's outer shell would remain.

"So, would you like to purchase the preservation service?"

"Buy."

"Your choice is correct~"

After handing one Train Coin to this Guide, Ye Qiyan received the key and followed him out of the train.

At that moment, a massive mechanical arm descended from the sky and grabbed the tunnel containing his train.

It was placed in a corner of that large gate they had just seen and enveloped by an ice-blue light screen.

Similar slots that could store trains were countless on that large gate.

"Train Conductor, from now on please explore the City of a Thousand Stars on your own. I hope you have the most wonderful experience here."

Just as the Guide was about to leave, Ye Qiyan suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Wait, if I want to perform maintenance on my train, what should I do?"

The Guide gave him a strange look, completely not expecting a Train Conductor who had just entered the City of a Thousand Stars to know about maintenance.

"Please rest assured about this. You can independently find maintenance specialists in the city who perform train maintenance. They all have devices that can directly transport trains. You only need to use the key, and the train will automatically go there. After maintenance is completed, it can also return here."

"How do I get to Naklo Street?"

"You can go there using the self-service transportation vehicles in the city."

"Thank you."

Having obtained the information he wanted, Ye Qiyan wasn't in a hurry to go to 44 Naklo Street.

Walking out of the hall, what met his eyes was a giant multi-layered city with a distinct futuristic feel.

Where he stood was the first layer, called the Base Area. According to the introduction, this seemed to be the lowest level of the entire City of a Thousand Stars.

But this was strange.

The Crossroads of Fate had given him a Lower District option.

If this was the lower district, then what was the point of that option?

He didn't think too much about it. After taking a free universal map, he headed straight in one direction.

Although this city had many places for entertainment, all of this required support from one thing.

That was Train Coins.

Very unfortunately.

Right now, he didn't have much money left.
