Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

【Talent Activated】

【Sublimation!】

Spirit began to drain.

A brilliant azure light stream surged endlessly from Ye Qiyan’s palm into the White Forest Fruit tree!

Those light currents slithered across the tree like lightning striking wood, writhing freely along its surface.

Wherever they passed, pure golden tree blood trickled down.

The fruits on the platinum fruit tree fell one after another.

【Spirit: 500→457】

【Level 8→Level 9】

But the original form of the White Forest Fruit tree was still recognizable.

“Not enough.”

It still wasn’t enough.

Ye Qiyan didn’t let go.

A mere few dozen points of Spirit was far from the end—raising the White Forest Fruit tree to Level 9 was by no means the finish line.

Because he could feel it.

After being strengthened by that Venus’s Golden Leaf, even after one Sublimation, it still possessed considerable latent potential.

So, let’s continue!

【Sublimation!】

A second Sublimation in succession!

This time, both Ye Qiyan’s Stamina and Spirit began plummeting at an alarming rate!

The bark of the White Forest Fruit tree turned scorched black.

It peeled off in chunks.

Revealing the golden trunk beneath.

No, not just the trunk.

The leaves, the fruits—all of it was shedding.

They landed on the ground and instantly dissolved, returning to the tree’s essence.

Rustle, rustle—!

Whoosh—!

When the last piece of bark fell away.

Its Sublimation, at this moment, succeeded!

【Stamina: 400→200】【Spirit: 461→31】

【Venus’ Golden Fruit Tree (Level 10)】

【To care for the beauty goddess Venus born from their faith, the Golden Tribe’s governor—[Name Erased]—used the Golden Tribe’s civilizational faith to cultivate the Golden Tree King.】

【That former Tree King has long since perished, but today, due to [Unknown Force?], an ordinary fruit tree has grown into a new Tree King.】

【It can bear [White Forest Fruits] imbued with [Healing], [Soothe Fatigue], [Increase Stamina and Spirit Recovery Speed], [Dispel Illusions], and [Increase Dream Resistance].】

【It should not bear this name, but because it received the faith of [Cultivator·Ye Qiyan], it has thus obtained the name [White Forest Fruit].】

【Golden Fruit: There is a small chance to produce a special [Golden Fruit (Level 10) (Name Changeable)].】

【Because it obtained [Final Lament·Golden Tribe’s Civilizational Faith], this fruit’s effect is as follows: On first consumption, it permanently increases [Divine Attack] Special Defense by 20%.】

【Subsequent consumption will permanently increase defense against [Illusion-Type] and [Curse-Type] abilities, and will restore more Spirit and Stamina over a short period.】

Six hundred and thirty points.

That was the cost of the second Sublimation.

A massive number.

To put it in perspective, he had just completed another self-Sublimation himself.

Going from Level 8 to Level 9—unless it was an Extreme Sublimation or the item was particularly special—would cost no more than a hundred points.

But when he saw the introduction displayed on the System’s appraisal light screen.

These costs suddenly seemed utterly insignificant!

Never mind anything else—just that 20% Special Defense against Divinity alone made this trip to the White Forest completely worth it.

“Well now, not only do I have Special Attack, but I’ve got Special Defense too. The Golden Fruit—that’s the one up there, right?”

Ye Qiyan looked toward the crown of the tree.

A gleaming, golden fruit hung there, silent and still, like a star surrounded by the moon.

Just as he was about to reach out and take it, the fruit actually fell by itself, drifting straight toward him and landing precisely in his palm.

“Tsk, too bad—this thing is one with the tree. By sublimating the tree, the fruit got sublimated right along with it.”

Crunch—

Delicious.

It was even more delicious than the White Forest Fruits from before!

The fruit’s juices exploded in his mouth, the sweet fragrance bringing a comforting, heartwarming happiness.

Ye Qiyan loved this taste.

But the Special Defense effect hadn’t manifested directly just yet.

“Golden Fruit... it’s still quite a nice name, but White Forest Fruit feels more familiar. Let’s rename this special one... let’s call it... Golden Apple.”

【Name Change Successful】

Venus the Beauty Goddess’s Golden Apple.

Speaking of which, the Venus legends from the world he once lived in—was she the same Venus he had seen here?

“Ding-a-ling~”

Mingming had woken up after all. She rubbed her eyes, blinked at the greatly changed White Forest Fruit tree, and a delighted expression appeared on her little face.

She waved her tiny finger.

The light specks of Nether Speech merged directly into the tree’s trunk.

【Nether Speech·Venus’ Golden Fruit Tree (Level 10)】

【New Ability: Increases the probability of producing a [Golden Apple].】

Mingming had bestowed her prefix upon the tree, and in doing so, had also given it a little enhancement.

————

Time to leave.

Returning to the White Forest this time, even if it was only for a dozen or so hours, the gains were absolutely no worse than those from an ordinary Advanced Station.

Ye Qiyan stepped out of the train.

When the last Nano Giant Sting Bee—which had been stained with a hint of gold during its contact with the golden liquid earlier—returned to the Honeycomb Carriage.

The train once again re-entered the Matrix Space.

“I wonder if Emilie’s gotten anxious waiting, hehe.”

He let out a mischievous laugh. Just thinking about Emilie’s expression made his grin even wider.

“Anchor, prepare for Sailing.”

Rumble—!

The anchor crashed down!

On the Anchor, the anchor point he had left in that hotel room inside the Lunar Heart arena was confirmed.

“Well then... farewell, White Forest.”

【Sailing—!】

Drowning...

Falling...

The warm Abyss was so comfortable, it made one not want to leave.

When he opened his eyes.

He was back in that room that hadn’t changed at all, and his gaze was unconsciously drawn to a figure sitting in front of a game console.

“...Miss Emilie?”

“Ah!?”

The Guide girl sitting in front of the game console, wearing a sloppy, oversized casual outfit, munching on potato chips while tirelessly tackling the game on the screen, was startled.

“M-M-Mr. Ye! Ah, no, Boss! You, you’re back! I’ll clean up right away!”

Emilie frantically stuffed the snacks behind her back.

She scrambled into the next room, fussing around for a good while before changing into her formal Guide uniform, and returned to stand before Ye Qiyan, thoroughly embarrassed.

“Boss, you’re back. I was starting to think you wouldn’t return these past few days—I was almost scared to death...”

Scared to death?

Ye Qiyan’s gaze drifted to the game console that was still displaying a game screen. He was certain he hadn’t bought that game, which meant...

Emilie had topped up the credit and bought it herself.

“Ahem, ahem, Boss, I’m a professional. Last time you disappeared and still came back, so I knew it would be the same this time. Though... there’s less than a day left until the next Trial... want to, uh, go familiarize ourselves with the venue together?”
