Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

"Welcome to the Night People's settlement, outsider adventurer!"

The Assassin Captain didn't say another word the entire way.

After they arrived at the small settlement, he vanished without a trace.

The few young assassins, however, were completely captivated by Ye Qiyan's identity as an Adventurer, all eager to learn about the outside world.

He casually recounted some past adventures, and that was enough to fill these boys and girls with longing.

Among these youths, the leader was a boy named Charlie.

As he claimed, he was the one among this squad of young assassins most likely to enter the Eternal City and assassinate the Lord of Chalk.

Among the other three, some resented him, some envied him, and some cast secret glances of admiration toward Charlie.

The arrival of an adventurer drew a lot of attention.

The System's identification all labeled their species as Human.

But...

Human, huh.

"Big Bro Ye, what's wrong? Is the food not tasty? Sorry, this is all we have right now, but it's fine. When I kill the Lord of Chalk, that will be the day we reclaim the land! Then, Big Bro Ye, I'll let you try my mother's cooking."

Charlie gave a cheeky laugh.

Under his mask, his face also bore the brand of Shame.

"No, it's nothing, it's pretty good."

Ye Qiyan smiled faintly, looked at the bowl of black porridge, traced the rim of the bowl with his finger, and took a sip.

It had no flavor, just plain rice gruel.

"By the way, did you plant this rice yourselves?"

Charlie swallowed and scratched his head at Ye Qiyan's question.

"I don't know. We assassins don't handle that. We just train every day to, in the future, defeat the evil Lord of Chalk.

Heh heh, today we happened to meet Big Bro Ye during training.

Oh, after we eat, I'll show you around. Our settlement isn't big, but you can still experience the old customs of the Night People."

"Um, uh, that works. Come to my house, my father is the settlement's Blacksmith."

Anli, the only girl in the four-person squad, said shyly.

"Hmph, I still need to train. You guys go have fun."

Dubi, the spiky-headed, very proud-looking boy, poured the porridge into his stomach and left immediately.

Among the four, the last one, a slightly younger boy named Aiti who always gazed at Charlie with admiration, followed him.

"Sorry, Big Bro Ye, they didn't mean it..."

"It's okay."

"Heh heh, Big Bro Ye, you're really kind. Can you tell me more about your adventures in other worlds?"

Ye Qiyan nodded with a smile.

"Of course~"

In his hand he toyed with a card.

That card was called Arrogance.

The ability activated.

Perspective shifted.

At this moment.

A few hundred meters away, inside a building,

several Nano Giant Sting Bees perched on the beams, using transmitting devices to livestream to Ye Qiyan the scene of Hamdouk, the Assassin Captain, kneeling in the center of a dark room surrounded by elders.

Everything they said, everything they did,

was being broadcast live before Ye Qiyan.

————

"You mean that Outsider owns a Warhorse?"

"Yes, Elder. That person's Warhorse looks stronger than the knights in the Eternal City, and he has a retainer by his side who could easily defeat me."

"Beating you easily is no great feat, you were always trash. Otherwise, why would you take on the educator role?"

The elders snorted derisively.

Hamdouk did not grow angry; instead he lowered his head in deep shame.

"Sorry, Elder. My strength is inadequate, but please believe me, the team I train will be stronger than other educators' teams! They will grow to become a force capable of defeating the Lord of Chalk!"

"So, what is that person's name? Ye Qiyan? That kind of name belongs to those lowly Chalk people, doesn't it? He really isn't one of those knights?"

"No, he... he's an Adventurer from another land."

An elder frowned.

"Are you certain?"

"Certain. He did not lie."

"Interesting. I never expected a foreigner to arrive in this world at this time. Grand Elder, you see..."

Everyone's gaze converged on the main seat directly ahead.

A figure who had not spoken until now, towering in size and blending entirely with the darkness, slowly opened his mouth.

"The War with the Lord of Chalk is about to begin. Our time is short. The seven other settlements are all preparing to assassinate the Lord of Chalk before he fully completes his Ascension of this realm."

"But the Lord of Chalk and his knights are extremely powerful. If we lose too many people killing him, we will not be able to gain more land and resources in our Night World."

"If, after the war, we fail to be the strongest among the seven settlements, then victory will be meaningless."

"However, if we can utilize that foreigner as a vanguard to reduce our casualties, that would be a good method."

"Furthermore, Hamdouk, from your description it's clear this foreigner is easy to manipulate. If we feign kindness toward him and let him see the villagers' misery and pity them, he will be moved.

"He will surely participate in the battle."

The elders agreed in chorus.

Fanaticism appeared in Hamdouk's eyes.

"As expected of the Grand Elder! Your wisdom will lead the Night People back to the land! Forgive my ignorance, but could you tell me how to proceed?"

"Heh heh."

The Grand Elder gave a cold chuckle.

"Send a team of villagers east to gather resources. A knight of the Eternal City is patrolling there. Send many people and make sure they flee back toward the settlement; that knight will detect the settlement's location."

Hamdouk hesitated this time.

"But won't that expose the settlement's location?"

"Bold! Hamdouk! How dare you question the Grand Elder's decision!"

The other elders shot Hamdouk angry looks. He quickly bowed his head and apologized.

"Forgive me, Grand Elder!"

"No matter. This settlement was only ever meant to be a factory that produces a resource. As long as we don't die out, what does losing some villager births from the Night Wells matter? They are not warriors; they have no strength. Being offered up as part of my plan is their blessing, is it not?"

————

"Big Bro Ye? You okay? A little tired?"

Charlie's voice sounded by Ye Qiyan's side.

He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the strange-looking boy in front of him, and smiled faintly.

"This place is pretty interesting~"
