Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Zhao Lin was confused.

In fact, she had no idea what she was supposed to do in this city.

Enjoy herself as the introduction suggested?

But she was too scared to venture out alone and didn't know how to do anything.

Don't forget, her previous station was the Luck Platform.

So this time she was bound to encounter some misfortune.

Even though the City of a Thousand Stars appeared extremely safe, that was only relative.

Therefore, sticking close to the only person she was somewhat familiar with, Ye Qiyan, was the only sense of security she could find.

"Brother Ye, you know about my talent..."

Ye Qiyan's undisguised disgust made Zhao Lin silently lower her head.

She muttered quietly:

"Sorry, then I'll just..."

"You can follow me."

"Huh?"

Ye Qiyan raised his hand in front of her eyes.

"Pay up, five Train Coins, consider it compensation for infecting me with your misfortune."

What a swindler!

Zhao Lin mentally complained, but still obediently took out five Train Coins and placed them in Ye Qiyan's hand.

"Thank you, Brother Qiyan."

Should she be called foolish, or something else?

Weighing the Train Coins in his hand.

He had actually genuinely wanted Zhao Lin to stay away.

He never expected this girl would actually pay up willingly—he should have asked for more.

But whatever, since she already paid, he wouldn't go back on his word.

Hailing an unmanned floating taxi, Ye Qiyan took Zhao Lin to 44 Naklo Street.

"A church?"

Getting out of the vehicle and staring at the massive black-and-white intertwined church before them, Ye Qiyan seriously wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

What did a church have to do with train maintenance?

Was Shaya trying to trick him into becoming a follower of some random deity?

"Brother Qiyan, so you believe in gods?"

"I believe in ghosts..."

Although this place seemed completely unreliable, following the principle of "since we're already here, might as well check it out or we wasted our taxi money," Ye Qiyan still entered the church.

The interior environment wasn't much different from the churches he'd seen online before.

The only difference was that soft chanting voices from all directions filled the space.

Hearing someone arrive, a middle-aged man dressed in bishop's robes put down the white book in his hands and approached with a smile. He looked Ye Qiyan up and down, his gaze flickering slightly beneath the monocle on his right eye, as if contemplating something.

"Are you the guest recommended by Shaya?"

Okay, so he wasn't in the wrong place.

Ye Qiyan took out the badge Shaya had given him from his pocket.

"Using this badge allows for one train maintenance session, right?"

The bishop uncle nodded amiably.

"Please follow me."

Following the uncle.

The three of them passed through the church interior and arrived at a station platform with three tracks at the back.

"Please insert the key here, and we can begin the maintenance."

He pointed to a slot nearby.

It perfectly fit the key that represented the sealed train.

Without hesitation.

Although he didn't know the other's background, Ye Qiyan could vaguely sense that this seemingly kind middle-aged pastor uncle carried an indescribable aura, as if he had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Without a doubt, this was a Train Conductor, and his level definitely wasn't low—possibly even comparable to Shaya.

As for why someone like him was here doing train maintenance?

That wasn't something Ye Qiyan could know right now.

Inserting the key, giving it a slight turn.

The familiar train materialized out of thin air.

Zhao Lin rubbed her eyes vigorously, unable to believe what was happening before her.

"The train appeared here? Oh my, Brother Qiyan, how do you even know about these things? Have you been kept by a rich woman already?"

Often, the truth gets accidentally revealed through jokes.

Ye Qiyan silently ignored Zhao Lin's amazement, watching the pastor who seemed to be pondering something nearby.

"Is that all?"

The pastor uncle nodded.

"Of course. May I ask presumptuously, the person beside you?"

"Hehe~ Never mind, I seem to be talking too much."

The pastor uncle's smile widened slightly.

"Come pick up the train tomorrow. For the remaining time, I suggest you head to the guild gathering place in the City of a Thousand Stars. All new Train Conductors arriving here can choose to join a guild. When there are no missions, you can stay here permanently to avoid danger. For many people, they even abandon their Train Conductor identity to remain here completely, becoming assistants who can only serve Train Conductors. If you wish to stay, you can give it a try."

Stay?

Abandon the Train Conductor identity?

Ye Qiyan had zero interest in that.

However, his gaze fell upon Zhao Lin.

The young girl was currently lost in thought.

Sensing Ye Qiyan's look, she snapped back to reality and suddenly smiled.

"It seems similar, Brother Qiyan, just like that Public Trading Station back then—both presenting me with an option to stay when my misfortune is at its peak. No need to participate in subsequent survival, just abandon the Train Conductor identity..."

Her mood was somewhat downcast. After all, if this station wasn't a Misfortune Station for her.

Zhao Lin would have a high probability of choosing to stay here.

Because not everyone could handle train adventures as effortlessly as Ye Qiyan.

Nor did everyone crave adventure—stable living was what many people desired.

"Let's go check out the guilds. They might have some good stuff there."

Taking another taxi, this time Zhao Lin paid.

Ye Qiyan browsed the Trading Platform connected to the City of a Thousand Stars during the ride.

With his identity as a Level 5 Train Conductor, he could see some additional items available for purchase.

But...

"Still no Flame Stones."

Flame Stones didn't appear in the trading options.

That item seemed to be non-tradable, at least unavailable for purchase here. And for some reason, the Trading Platform didn't have any items above Level 3.

Not a single one.

This was strange.

As a gathering place for Train Conductors, with who knows how many earlier batches of people here, how could no one be selling higher-level items?

The taxi traveled through the streets for about half an hour, bringing them to a massive white jade square.

The square was bustling with activity.

Many teams that looked quite professional sat in their respective positions.

They had all come to recruit new Train Conductors.

Making a rough estimate, there should be tens of thousands of people in the center of this square, not counting those who had already left or hadn't arrived yet.

"Truly magnificent..."

Everything in this city gave Ye Qiyan a sense of being both "grand" and "chaotic."

Ye Qiyan had no interest in joining any guilds, he just wanted to see what these so-called guilds were about.

However, this place wasn't just for recruiting newcomers.

Many people had set up small stalls here, displaying items for sale, among whom were Train Conductors from earlier batches.
