Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

"So this is the Eternal City. Pretty impressive."

As a city.

Though compared to the cities Ye Qiyan had seen created by Train Conductors, it fell far short.

But this place wasn't exactly a city.

To be able to build something so towering, like a pure white mountain that split the plains in half from the middle—

It wasn't hard to see that its builder was no weakling.

Especially.

That thing hanging high above the dark clouds.

Resting atop a sky-piercing pagoda that stabbed straight into the heavens.

"Mmm... So, WALL-E, the treasure you're looking for is in there, huh?"

Ye Qiyan lowered his binoculars.

Leaned down to pat the little robot beside him.

WALL-E had returned.

The time it took was far shorter than he'd imagined.

If the System hadn't confirmed this was an Advanced Station World, Ye Qiyan would've thought he'd come to the wrong place.

"~~"

WALL-E waved its Mechanical Claw, its eyes curving into crescents as it sipped Plasma Cola and pointed toward the top of the Eternal City.

Toward.

That sky-piercing pagoda.

It had found the most precious treasure in this world.

It just couldn't bring it back.

"Mmm... In that case, let's go. Enter the city."

The train sank into the Matrix.

Ye Qiyan summoned the Road Tyrant and leaped off the hillside in one bound.

The White Bear merged with the Road Tyrant.

An icy road condensed the surrounding rainwater into blooming frost flowers.

The machine, like a steel beast, roared with deafening thunder!

He twisted the throttle, accelerating to full speed.

Across the wide plains, Ye Qiyan finally got to ride wild after so long.

"Woo-hoo!"

The airflow kicked up by the Road Tyrant formed a spiraling water screen at the front of the vehicle.

To anyone watching, it looked like a spinning monster charging straight at the Eternal City.

The steward, who'd been waiting at the city gate for two days, pupils shrank at the sight.

On the city wall, mounted archers holding heavy bows drew their strings taut, radiant power clinging to their arrows as they prepared to attack.

"Hold!"

The steward shouted to stop them.

He ran to a high vantage point, squinting at the icy-blue spiral.

"Our world doesn't have something like this... And the Night People couldn't either... So that means... him? Ye Qiyan? Open the gates!"

The knights exchanged glances.

The captain guarding this side of the wall hesitated.

"But... this is—"

"He's the king's honored guest!"

No one hesitated after that.

The city gates slowly opened.

But the Road Tyrant's speed was too fast.

Too fast for the iron portcullis to lift in time.

"No good! Quick, stop! Don't—!"

The steward's face twisted in panic.

Seeing the vehicle showing no signs of slowing down, he frantically jumped off the wall to block it.

If the king's guest got hurt crashing into the gate, it'd be a disaster!

"Stop—"

His voice cut off abruptly.

Because just as the Road Tyrant was less than three hundred meters from the wall—

A bear's roar exploded through the air!

A massive icy ramp angled upward!

Exhaust ports on the Road Tyrant blasted out intense ice-blue flames as it accelerated to the max!

"Vroom!"

The roar of the machine and the bear merged together.

It leaped upward, and under the stunned gazes of the steward and knights, landed on top of the city wall.

"Phew~ That felt good. It's been way too long since I've been in a world this perfect for riding wild."

Ye Qiyan poked Nefeti, who was obediently lying on his chest acting like a warm pack.

A wave of heat drove the chill from his body.

The rainwater that had splashed on him evaporated instantly.

The Wandering Star Holy Sigil unfurled.

His body and clothes returned to a dry state.

"You... You are... Mr. Ye Qiyan?"

The portcullis below lifted.

The steward, out of breath, ran back up onto the wall.

It might've looked easy when he jumped down earlier.

But this wall was fifty meters high.

An ordinary person would've been smashed to pulp.

"Yeah, that's me. I'm Ye Qiyan."

He swung off the vehicle.

Retracted the Road Tyrant into the Armament Space.

Ye Qiyan smiled at the steward.

"So, your king wants to see me?"

"My king, he—"

Before he could finish, a troop of knights came running from the barracks inside the city.

Ye Qiyan's entrance had made quite a commotion.

Probably half the city had seen the Road Tyrant descending from the sky like a frost nova.

"Who dares to— Ah... Ye... Mr. Ye Qiyan."

The one who spoke was none other than Hua Su, the knight who'd first discovered Ye Qiyan two days ago.

The moment he saw Ye Qiyan, a flash of delight flickered in his eyes.

He'd originally thought that, given the train's speed, Ye Qiyan would reach the Eternal City much faster than him.

But after rushing all the way and only entering the city this morning, the first thing he saw was the steward's gloomy face.

He thought something had gone wrong and bitterly blamed himself for not following to protect him.

Now that he'd finally seen the man himself, the heavy stone lodged in his heart finally fell.

"Mr. Ye Qiyan! You're finally here! Did you run into trouble on the way? I'm so sorry I couldn't keep up with you, so I—"

"Hua Su, return to the barracks. I'm taking this guest to see our king."

The steward cut off Hua Su's words, punched his chest in a knight's salute, and bowed to Ye Qiyan.

In a respectful tone, laced with pleading, he said gravely:

"Mr. Ye, if you truly have the power, I beg you... please help our king. No matter... what method you use, no matter what price we must pay..."

"I beg you!"

He dropped to one knee.

The knights around him did the same.

"We beg you, Mr. Ye!"

Ye Qiyan stood in the center, giving no reply.

He simply looked at that pagoda.

"Heh. Let's go. Take me to meet your king."

Under the steward's lead.

Ye Qiyan entered the Eternal City.

The residents here wore simple homespun clothes.

Their food and clothing were nothing special.

But every single face was filled with happiness and devotion.

They gave thanks for the Lord of Chalk's grace.

Children sang nursery rhymes about "The King Came from the Sky."

Their reverence for that Lord of Chalk.

Was neither fake nor the result of simple brainwashing.

Because Ye Qiyan could sense it completely through Bewitchment.

Everything they said and did.

Was real.

Entering the pagoda, surprisingly, though the tower looked magnificent from the outside, the inside was a sheer hollow.

Only an elevator connected by beams of light could ascend to the upper floors.

There were only three stops on the elevator.

When they reached the second floor, WALL-E inside the Matrix sent a message to its master through the Nano Giant Sting Bees.

The treasure it had found.

Was on the second floor.

And where Ye Qiyan would meet that Lord of Chalk.

Was the very top—the third floor.
