Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

[Level 12 Station World · Eternal Sun]

Menrojina's ritual formation covered the entire land.

Countless mystic contract beasts emerged from one magic circle after another.

The massive Solar Corona Legion launched wave after wave of assaults.

And she herself stood outside a transparent Light Screen.

In her hand, she held a Stone Key.

Within that Light Screen, there existed an altar holding a Ritual Card.

The attacks outside continued unabated.

Menrojina's mystic contract beasts barely held the line.

She still chose to respond immediately.

"It's been quite a while since I last contacted him. How long? Hmm... about half a year, right?"

She had been fighting here for six months.

But that was normal. To conquer a level twelve Station World.

Even spending a year or two was entirely worth it.

In fact, there were many times when a complete conquest wasn't possible. Many high-level Train Conductors chose to take a resource and leave directly.

Menrojina was one of them.

But this station was different.

She had discovered a Ritual Card here.

For this card, she had declared war on an entire world, and finally, a few days ago, found the key to opening the Barrier.

Now, the final moment had arrived.

["So, how much do you want? Just trade directly."]

["Don't you want to see the appraisal info for the item?"]

["As long as it's something you're selling me, even if it's a useless level one item, I'm willing to pay everything I can~. After all, I owe you a lot."]

Menrojina tapped the Light Screen, a smile spreading beneath her veil.

Her mood was excellent. After six months of continuous combat, even she felt a genuine mental exhaustion, a Genuine Fatigue.

["Forget about everything. Just go by the black market price. For this item, one thousand Train Coins."]

Ye Qiyan sent the item appraisal information over.

The moment she saw its name, Menrojina let out a puzzled sound.

"This?"

[Magic Stone · Spirit and Magic Source]

[After use, permanently convert 50% of your Spirit stat cap into Mana Source cap. After conversion, Mana recovery speed becomes 50 times Spirit recovery speed. Additionally, Mana can be directly replenished by consuming Spirit/Train Coins/Stamina.]

"One thousand? That seems a bit low."

["Three thousand. I'm buying this item for that price."]

["?"]

["Don't be puzzled. This isn't Karmic Retribution. It's just that, to me, it really is worth that price.

Heh heh, Bro Ye, you always manage to bring me these surprises~."]

["So, does that mean the black market pricing is wrong?"]

["No, for an ordinary Train Conductor, that pricing is correct. After all, the negative effect is too great. Spirit is far more important than Stamina for the vast majority of Train Conductors.

It's just that I'm different. I have three Spirit pools~."]

Menrojina pulled up her personal info and dragged a screenshot of a special Module directly into the chat room with Ye Qiyan.

[Heteromorphic Module · The Second and Third Door]

[All [Spirit] ability effects are doubled. Two additional copies of the Spirit pool are replicated simultaneously. Switching between them is possible at any time. After switching, all effects affecting the previous Spirit pool become nullified against [Menrojina].]

Inside the train.

Ye Qiyan was somewhat surprised as he read the message Menrojina had sent.

["You're just showing me your Heteromorphic Module like that?"]

["Of course. After all, you're my creditor. Hehe, I have more. Do you want to see?"]

["Better not."]

["Just kidding~. But, you should understand what this item means for me, right? I don't need to worry about that negative effect. Converting one-sixth of my three Spirit pools into a new Mana Source is very worthwhile for me."]

What Menrojina said seemed reasonable enough.

But even if there was a problem, it didn't matter anyway.

With these three thousand Train Coins, there was no need to find another way to scrounge up more money.

As a transaction, it was fair.

["Deal."]

The trade was made.

Menrojina swung her Staff-Sword, suspending three thousand Train Coins in the air.

In the next instant, through the System, she completed the exchange with the item Ye Qiyan had placed for trade.

She reached out, catching this fist-sized Magic Stone, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

"Although I do have three Spirit pools, forget about the consumption cap."

The Staff-Sword twisted.

A small white cat obediently walked out from a magic circle and came to her feet.

"Be good~ Eat this."

Menrojina handed the Magic Stone to the white cat.

The cat obediently swallowed it.

The next moment, its Spirit began to split, just as the Magic Stone's ability described.

"Meow!"

The cat felt pain, but it would soon pass.

The Ritual Card materialized at the tip of the Staff-Sword.

The radiance of the ritual shone upon it. In just a few seconds, it was transformed into a pure spirit body.

"Meow?"

"You're lucky, little one."

Menrojina stroked the cat spirit.

"As for my luck... it's not bad either..."

Ye Qiyan's image surfaced once more in her mind.

"Alright, time to leave this world."

She inserted the Key.

The door leading to the altar slowly opened.

After six months of conquering and fighting.

Menrojina was finally about to obtain her tenth Ritual Card.

"Phew... but, it's really troubling. How am I ever going to repay him?"

————

"Tsk tsk, you really can't beat a veteran. They've got money."

Ye Qiyan looked at the three thousand Train Coins piled up on the table, a smile on his face.

Three thousand plus seven thousand seven hundred.

That made a total of ten thousand seven hundred Train Coins.

Right now, he could probably be considered a wealthy man among Train Conductors, right?

Especially since these Train Coins were the legitimate [Correct Train Coins].

The kind that could be used in the System to increase the value of train upgrade options.

"Heh, I even have seven hundred extra. Now, even if I bought everything in the store, I'd still have this much left over. Not bad at all~."

Breaking the five-digit mark in Train Coins was definitely something worth celebrating.

Striking while the iron was hot.

Ye Qiyan planned to do it today.

He would perform the Sublimation for his train to level twenty!

Nineteen to twenty.

For an ordinary Train Conductor, this was also a special threshold.

For him, it was the same.

He had to be fully prepared.

Those monsters from the Wasteland trying to stop him would definitely be more ferocious than ever before.

But so what?

Just because he was afraid of those monsters, he was supposed to give up on Sublimation?

Absolutely not.

This was his own path forward.

There was no possibility of stopping.
