Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

"Did I quote too low?" Seeing the other party's immediate agreement, Ye Qiyan scratched his head but didn't regret his decision.

["Deal. Let's proceed with the trade."]

Shangguan Yingxue: ["Wait, I need more bullets and food."]

This woman? Where did she get so much water?

No, having large quantities of water wasn't surprising - she did mention it was lake water, so her first stop was likely near a lake. What truly puzzled Ye Qiyan was - where did she get containers to store all that water?

Before the average three-hour stop duration at the first station ended, both the trading platform and chat room remained closed.

Did she find them? Or built them using blueprints like him?

He didn't ask. Everyone had their secrets.

Ye Qiyan: ["Bullets are cheaper - five low-grade bullets per kilogram of water, no container needed from you. As for food, these are military compressed biscuits - one biscuit for five kilograms of water."]

Ye Qiyan: ["No need. Let's trade directly."]

The trading point materialized above the water tank.

As the firearms and bullets disappeared, eighty-five kilograms of water materialized out of thin air, pouring into the reservoir.

Including previous trades, Ye Qiyan now possessed 135 kilograms of water.

Staring at the clear water in the tank, he resisted the urge to gulp it down.

Though it looked clean, anyone with basic knowledge knew drinking unfiltered, unboiled lake water was suicidal.

["Pleasure doing business. Feel free to contact me for future trades."]

Shangguan Yingxue didn't reply, only silently sending Ye Qiyan a friend request.

Seeing the notification, Ye Qiyan accepted without hesitation.

Compared to that pretentious Li Xiaosheng, he preferred trading with someone like Shangguan Yingxue.

At least...

She talked less. Less hassle.

After concluding business with Shangguan Yingxue, Ye Qiyan successively sold numerous low-grade marksman rifles and ammunition to others.

Materials like fiber and glass needed for carriage reinforcement were also acquired. After upgrading, windows appeared in the frames, drastically improving the previously drafty compartment.

"Bountiful harvest indeed."

After the final trade, only twenty-one rifles remained in Ye Qiyan's possession.

He hadn't set fixed prices, selling whenever offers seemed reasonable.

This wasn't bad business - Ye Qiyan understood that currently everyone else's trains were only Level 1. Once most people unlocked upgrade options after their first train enhancement, who knew if better weapon blueprints might appear than these low-grade rifles?

Hoarding would be unwise.

Such low-level items would only depreciate over time.

"Finally done."

Taking out a traded loaf of bread and mineral water, Ye Qiyan enjoyed his first proper dinner in this world.

Returning to the train's front cabin, he curled up in a relatively warm spot.

Survival concerns could wait - exhausted, his only thought was sleep.

As the train rumbled across the endless wasteland, Ye Qiyan gazed at the high-hanging moon outside the window before slowly closing his eyes.

Thump-thump—thump-thump—

"Brrr!"

The night's chill made Ye Qiyan shiver violently.

Rubbing his eyes as he got up from the floor, he stretched his stiff neck and instinctively looked outside.

The wasteland remained unchanged, the distant horizon shrouded in unsettling mystery.

Above, the gigantic moon cast cold light that accentuated the world's loneliness.

[Stamina: 87][Mental: 91]

"How long did I sleep?"

Checking the train's timestamp, Ye Qiyan rubbed his eyes again.

[03:37]

3:37 AM. Sighing, Ye Qiyan opened the chatroom to see messages still scrolling endlessly.

Few could sleep as soundly as he had.

"Whatever, can't sleep now anyway."

Brushing off dust, Ye Qiyan stood up.

With stamina and mental energy partially restored, it was time for more sublimation.

"Let's try this first."

The Colt M1911 - this sleek black pistol resembling a work of art. How powerful would it become after sublimation?

The next stop wouldn't be safe. Only formidable weapons could give Ye Qiyan peace of mind.

"Sublimate."

Stamina drained from his body.

The formerly pitch-black firearm developed faint patterns, its frame slightly enlarged, now requiring some effort to wield single-handedly.

[Blacklight Enchanted Pistol] (Level 3)

[Can consume stamina to convert bullets into armor-piercing rounds]

[Stamina: 47][Mental: 90]

Forty stamina points consumed - an acceptable cost.

Testing the pistol's weight, Ye Qiyan stacked some metal scraps into a makeshift target.

Pulling the trigger while channeling stamina, a deafening blast accompanied by searing muzzle flash as an armor-piercing round tore through the air.

BOOM!!

The perfectly penetrated target hole brought delighted surprise to Ye Qiyan's face.

"Incredible! Aside from heavy recoil, is this really just a pistol?"

[Stamina: 45]

"Two stamina per armor-piercing round? Acceptable."

"Hmm? Seems it can be sublimated further?"

Turning the pistol in his hands, Ye Qiyan hesitated before abandoning the idea.

The current recoil was barely manageable.

If both power and kick increased further, he might lose control.

Remaining stamina and mental energy allowed for more sublimation.

Entering the first carriage, Ye Qiyan touched the wall.

"Sublimate."

To his surprise, enhancing the carriage required minimal stamina.

[Stamina: 25]

"That little? Thought it might need mental energy too."

[Cozy Train Carriage] (Level 2)

[Enchanted Warmth: Maintains constant 22°C interior temperature regardless of external conditions]

"No more waking up freezing."

Though the carriage couldn't be sublimated further like the locomotive, Ye Qiyan was thoroughly satisfied.

"Still early. More sleep then."

Retrieving a traded blanket from the front cabin, he spread it on the floor.

Substantial stamina loss proved the best insomnia remedy.

He wouldn't sublimate anything else today.

Tomorrow brings the second stop.

Now, conserve stamina.

And wait.
