Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Time: 【8:11:01】

Today's Weather: Suitable.

Today was the day the Guild Tournament began.

Ye Qiyan woke up from his bed.

The system's light screen gently flickered with a gray-white glow before him.

【"Good morning, Train Conductor Ye Qiyan, you have new messages."】

That incredibly familiar voice appeared from within the light screen.

The train system, Miatira.

Ever since it had acquired its true name, it had become even more lively and intelligent than before.

"Messages, huh."

Flicking through the light screen, no information appeared in his private chat interface.

Instead, in the Emperor's Order's public chat room, where people rarely spoke, a message had appeared that @ed everyone.

Stacia: 【"Hey! Is anyone on the Nation on Ships? I've got front-row tickets here! After the Guild Tournament, there's going to be a concert with me and that Alice!"】

Lin You: 【"Damn, aren't I in a Station World? Stacia, you've got Time Flow Synchronization too? Eh, wait, this is the public chat room."】

Zhu Xingshu: 【"Huh, didn't I mention this before? I upgraded my Time Flow Synchronization, hehe. Even if you're in a Station World, you can still use this to chat."】

Fan Huo: 【"I'm in the middle of a war."】

Lin You: 【"I'm in the middle of beating people up."】

Achuan: 【"I'm... well, I don't have anything that impressive going on. I'm just clearing a Station World... tech-type worlds are such a hassle... though I remember Sister Zhu Xingshu mentioning that one of the Ghost Spirit Cards is tech-type... not that I really understand how ghosts could appear in technology..."】

Lin You: 【"Haha, who says machines can't have ghosts? You've seen too little, my friend. I've encountered mechanical ghosts plenty of times. After those robots die, they can still give birth to spirit bodies. Search carefully, you might just find yourself a Ghost Spirit Card."】

Achuan: 【"Got it, Senior Lin You!"】

Stacia: 【"Hey hey hey, we're talking about my concert here, alright? None of you are on the Nation on Ships? What a shame."】

Zhu Xingshu: 【"I am~ I'll be there later."】

Stacia: 【"Huh? You're actually here... no wonder I heard quite a few things happened in the city yesterday. Was that your doing?"】

Zhu Xingshu: 【"Of course not! That's slander, alright? But, hehe, you really should be careful. Fate says~ today will be even more interesting."】

"......"

Ye Qiyan really wanted to punch that crazy woman in the gut right now.

Interesting?

Anything that this charlatan called "interesting" was bound to be trouble.

But even so.

Ye Qiyan was also well aware that Resource Sir and the people from Abukado wouldn't give up on obtaining the keys to open 【Miatira】.

Even though they didn't know the keys themselves had already lost their effect.

As for how they would get them, that wasn't something Ye Qiyan needed to think about.

Menrojina: 【"Don't overthink it. If anything's going to happen, it'll happen during the Guild Tournament."】

Menrojina suddenly sent a message.

【"You and that Alice, just wait. When everything's over, just..."】

But her words cut off halfway.

As for the reason.

Ye Qiyan felt he understood it all too well.

Right at this very moment.

A man's voice rang out over the Alphart's ship-wide broadcast.

And on several massive light screens visible everywhere in the city, the gaunt young man in a white lab coat appeared. His eyes no longer held exhaustion—instead, they were filled with calm and burning intensity.

"Everyone, I am Joel, the City Lord of the Nation on Ships."

Joel.

This was a name unfamiliar to most people on this Nation on Ships.

He was the City Lord, yet he rarely handled affairs.

Everything on the four starships that made up the city was managed by ordinary people elected through "democracy."

In fact, even many who barely qualified as "high-level" residents of the Nation on Ships had never seen him.

Everyone's eyes turned toward those light screens, waiting for Joel to continue.

"The Nation on Ships was founded for freedom."

"What is freedom?"

"In my eyes, it's driving a train, advancing endlessly across the wasteland, charging forward relentlessly, until one day, you're defeated by an enemy you can absolutely never beat, yet you give it your all in your final moments."

"Or, you move forward, grow stronger, until you transcend everything."

His voice carried an immense power of persuasion, forcing people to set down all their work, stop their cars, and close their phones. The entire city fell into the emotion conveyed through this speech, amplified by some prop he had used.

"I once built this city for a promise made to a friend, and I stayed in this city for another promise. But now, I am no longer bound by promises."

Joel raised his hand, two triangular metal blocks lying flat in his palm.

"Whoever you are, thank you for your help. Thank you for restoring my freedom."

The people were confused, not understanding Joel's meaning.

Only those who knew what was in his hand, and Ye Qiyan, understood the implication of his words.

"These are two keys. They will be awarded as the final prizes for the individual competition in the Nation on Ships' Guild Tournament. As for the winner, I will personally give, to the greatest extent possible without affecting the future, a Level 8 prop and 300 Train Coins."

The Train Conductors about to participate in the Guild Tournament let out a cheer.

"And after the Guild Tournament."

Joel paused briefly, then a smile gradually spread across his face.

"The primary mothership Alphart, the second frigate Lois, the third battleship Sander, and the fourth shuttle Heka—they will all revert to their Carriage forms! Along with me and my Crew Members, we will return to the wasteland!"

"Within ten days, all guilds, organizations, individual Train Conductors, and everyone who does not belong to the Nation on Ships must immediately leave this world. The Capsule Tunnel will be permanently abandoned by me after ten days! The Nation on Ships will no longer be a city!"

The city erupted into uproar.

Not just ordinary people were shocked—even the Train Conductors were equally stunned.

As for Ye Qiyan, he was silent for a moment, then helplessly pressed his forehead.

So the city hadn't been destroyed this time.

It was just disintegrating directly...

How should he put it? He actually kind of liked this city. At the very least, that fighting game in space was pretty fun.

Joel deliberately waited a moment before continuing:

"Of course, I won't abandon ordinary residents carelessly. Within ten days, I will completely relocate the city's residential areas from the Alphart. After today, you will remain in this space forever, as a nation on a bottomless ship, drifting here. In the truest sense of the word—a Nation on Ships."
