Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 699: Guild Tournament · OpeningYe Qiyan — this name was like a curse, firmly etched into Shangguan Yingxue's mind.
She knew who Ye Qiyan was.
A Train Conductor who had entered the Wasteland in the same batch as her.
The two of them had conducted some transactions a long time ago.
This person had been strong from the very beginning, stronger than all the Train Conductors in the same sector.
But...
Shangguan Yingxue realized that she had never actually seen his face.
No, wait — had she?
But... where? When?
Every time her mind tried to recall the image of [Ye Qiyan]'s face, her Spirit kept dropping.
Yet a voice kept speaking in her heart.
["I want to know..."]
Even if she knew, what could she do? Shangguan Yingxue didn't understand... she only felt that she was going as crazy as Zhao An.
"Eh? Sister Shangguan, are you okay?"
A somewhat cute voice snapped the dazed Shangguan Yingxue back to reality.
She lifted her head woodenly, staring at the girl with cross-shaped starry eyes before her. In a momentary daze, it was as if the girl's facial features didn't even exist.
But that was just an illusion...
Like how she couldn't remember Ye Qiyan's face...
It must... just be an illusion...
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Mo Shi. I'm fine."
"Mmm~ That's good to hear. Oh, by the way, did you make any interesting items yesterday? Eh? Your Spirit is so low... forget it, don't be too hard on yourself~ Making more items is better than anything~"
Mo Shi gently patted Shangguan Yingxue's shoulder and said with a smile:
"I'm off, I'm off. Time to take the stage~"
————
Pearl Light Arena, Section A.
This was the seat that the people of the Nation on Ships had prepared for Ye Qiyan.
Wearing a pair of sunglasses, he walked through the crowd and sat down here.
The people around him had no idea that the person sitting among them was the Emperor's Order demon who had stolen the spotlight yesterday.
And next to this seat, a petite young girl soon arrived. She wore a mask and sunglasses, with her hair tied in twin tails.
"Cough, um..."
"Don't worry. They can't hear us."
"Oh, that Demon Card of yours really is useful. Here, Ye Qiyan, this is for you."
The petite girl took off her mask and handed Ye Qiyan a bucket of popcorn.
Zhao Xi.
The Grand Judge of Suoluo City.
[Five-foot-nothing.]
He reached out to take it.
But before he could even touch it, a slender hand from the other side snatched the popcorn away.
"You can't just eat whatever strangers give you, especially little official shorties like this one who hang around cities."
A golden-haired nun sat down beside him. Smiling, she looked past Ye Qiyan toward Zhao Xi.
Shaya.
The Angel of Emperor's Order.
[Golden Retriever.]
Those people from the Nation on Ships had actually arranged the three of them to sit together.
Zhao Xi and Shaya locked eyes. When their gazes clashed, sparks practically crackled in the air.
Ye Qiyan was sandwiched right between them, showing absolutely no awkwardness whatsoever.
He even leaned back leisurely, giving their sightlines a better angle for confrontation.
Women fighting was always entertaining.
But for now, his main focus was on the Pearl Light Arena.
Taking out snacks that Lisette had prepared for him from his storage space, he watched the scene in the arena and suddenly thought of something.
Actually, he still had to pull double duty as a special guest.
Now that he had activated Arrogance, those people from the Nation on Ships probably couldn't even find him anymore.
The thought was kind of amusing.
As more and more spectators erupted in cheers,
accompanied by the Host's roar that kept building the tension and the howling of high-level war machines sweeping overhead,
the [Guild Tournament] officially began at that moment.
The first batch to take the stage were the original participants of the Guild Tournament.
Two guilds, determined by a draw, entered the arena.
Each guild sent ten people onto the field. They would compete in team battles within the arena, which had simulated Station World environments.
Among the ten people fielded by the highly anticipated Future Guild, quite a few were people Ye Qiyan knew.
Mo Shi, Don Quixote, Anjie, Shangguan Yingxue, Zhao An, along with an interesting demon man named Daxim, plus four other Train Conductors.
This kind of battle wasn't all that interesting. There were only two things that truly caught Ye Qiyan's attention.
Mo Shi.
And Daxim.
The former went without saying.
Ye Qiyan was curious about how this [Death] young lady had grown as a Train Conductor.
As for the latter...
"This guy is scared."
Daxim was indeed afraid.
Because he had tried more than once to leave this world.
But his Train had been sealed off in the Capsule Tunnel. Even when he complained to the people of the Nation on Ships, he received no response.
The people in charge of Capsule Tunnel management had even driven him out directly.
And the [Demon Card] hidden deep within his soul hadn't responded to him for a long time.
He felt like he was being watched!
In the two days leading up to the start of the Guild Tournament, it felt like a giant hand was manipulating everything about him.
He even wanted to just drop out of the Guild Tournament, but... he couldn't quit?
Clearly, other people could quit! Only he couldn't.
The reason?
The people in charge had told him directly, in an almost mocking tone.
"You're being watched. Just obediently participate in the Guild Tournament. When that lady finishes her business, you might still live, hahahaha."
Purpose?
Watched?
Daxim's heart was flooded with fear.
Who was watching him? Who was manipulating him!?
Who could make even the legendary, absolutely powerful Demon Card choose to hide!?
No, he knew who!!!
Altos! The Demon Overlord of the Emperor's Order!
The human who could make all Demon Cards submit!
He couldn't use it! He absolutely couldn't use the power of the Demon Card!
Otherwise, that human would never let him off!
What should he do? How could he survive?
"Mr. Daxim, it's time to go on."
A member of Future Guild looked at him with confusion.
"Are you okay?"
"...Fuck it... Why am I even nervous? I'm a demon man. Even without using it, a mere human... I can definitely win!"
Daxim snapped back to reality, stared at the door leading into the arena ahead, gritted his teeth, and followed the other nine people.
[Definitely~]
Inside the One Style Fortune-Telling Shop.
Menrojina gently flicked her divination Crystal Ball.
The Ritual Cards slowly revolved around her~
"I made sure you can't leave, made sure you have to go on stage, and then, forced to use the Demon Card~ Mmm, that's enough. As long as that Demon Card appears in front of Bro Ye, it'll be enough to undo two Chains. One Demon Card can repay quite a bit of Karma."
"So~ I've got to make you use it obediently."
Menrojina gently spun her Staff-Sword.
A Ritual Card landed on her fingertip.
[Ritual Card · Chaotic Chord Strings]
[Chaos: Trade chaos for power]
[Ritual: Manipulation at a price]
Her fingertip plucked a string~
These strings crossed through space, connecting to one of the ten Future Guild members — a somewhat invisible bespectacled girl.
She trembled slightly, and then the light imprint of the Staff-Sword representing the ritual appeared in her eyes.
"Oh? This one actually has talent. Hehe, you're in luck~ After this is over, I'll give you a reward."
