Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Chapter 90: Stop 12: The Dragon's Treasure Cave

Boiling water, brewing coffee.

WALL-E had learned how to make coffee and brought it to Ye Qiyan.

"Thanks WALL-E, so bitter... I still prefer sweet drinks..."

People often seek out bitterness where none exists.

But Ye Qiyan wasn't that type of person.

Adding white sugar and stirring until it dissolved, the original bitterness was completely replaced by sweetness.

"This tastes much better."

Time: 12:30:00

Today's weather: Clear.

Platform options appeared before Ye Qiyan's eyes.

[Please choose between the following two platforms for docking]

[Platform One: Goblin King's Invasion City (Level 6 Slaughter Platform)]

[Platform Two: Dragon's Treasure Cave (Level 6 Mission Platform)]

"More goblins again?"

Ye Qiyan sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead as he looked at the two platform names and made his choice.

"I choose Platform Two, Dragon's Treasure Cave."

Treasure Cave - the name itself sounded like a platform that wouldn't leave him empty-handed, much better than anything involving goblins.

As for the dragon...

If there really was a dragon, Ye Qiyan wanted to know which would be stronger between that mythical monster and his Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon.

The winner was unquestionable.

[Platform selection completed]

[Please remain seated and hold on tight. The train's next destination, the twelfth station, is...]

[Dragon's Treasure Cave]

As the final 30 minutes gradually passed.

Ahead, distortion reappeared.

Passing through unknown space, the scenery outside the window changed.

In the dim environment, one could vaguely make out that this was some kind of underground cavern.

Droplets of liquid fell from above, hitting the top of the train with a dripping sound.

[Current platform: Dragon's Treasure Cave]

[Docking countdown: 14:59:59]

[Good luck]

[This station: Dangerous]

Walking to the window and looking out, not far away flowed a river emitting a faint glow.

Along both banks of the river, human skeletons mixed with some unidentifiable bones were piled up like building blocks.

Treasure? Dragon?

Neither was visible.

"The mission objective should be..."

As he muttered to himself, a small boat drifted down from upstream on that river.

Several knights wearing medieval full-face armor stood on the boat.

They protected a woman in their center.

Seeing the train, they exchanged glances, and one of them removed his helmet, whispering something to the woman in the middle.

The small boat docked at the riverbank.

The knight who had removed his helmet ran toward the train's direction.

Knock knock knock—

He knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, are you the divine envoy sent by the temple?"

Divine envoy?

Was this the identity for this station?

Pulling open the window, Ye Qiyan waved toward the knight at the door.

"What's happening here?"

The knight paused for a moment, then came before Ye Qiyan and looked him up and down.

"You... are the divine envoy?"

"What do you think?"

Ye Qiyan countered.

"Using divine coins to summon a massive vehicle called a train... Yes, this must be the legendary train. You must be the divine envoy."

Divine coins?

Ye Qiyan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Where are the coins?"

"Right here."

No mistake.

The knight pulled out a pouch containing exactly fifteen Train Coins—what they called divine coins.

It seemed that in many platform worlds, trains and Train Coins weren't unfamiliar concepts to the natives.

They could even use Train Coins to summon Train Conductors like him to their worlds.

"You see, everything's in order?"

The knight offered the pouch. Feeling somewhat surprised, Ye Qiyan took it and used his system to verify.

No problem—all fifteen were genuine Train Coins.

This was truly remarkable.

He had just arrived at a station without doing anything yet, and already had such a substantial gain.

"No issues. So, what do you want me to do?"

Payment received meant he couldn't avoid doing the work.

Ye Qiyan's gaze fell on the woman among the group of knights.

"Is it because of her?"

The knight nodded, waved toward that direction, then explained:

"An evil dragon kidnapped our princess. We are the rescue team sent by the Duchy of Randal to save the princess. Taking advantage of the dragon's sudden disappearance, we successfully brought the princess out of its cave. Now we need to find a way to leave this place."

"However, there are too many dangers along the way. Even without the dragon, many monsters remain. Our expedition started with three hundred people, but now only a few of us remain. That's why the princess used the divine coins she carried to summon you for help. We hope you, Divine Envoy, can lead us out of this dragon's lair."

Dragon and princess?

Such a classic setup.

Was this the mission?

No, based on past experience, all immediately apparent missions were surface-level. To find the true hidden mission, he needed to search himself.

The princess was escorted over by the others.

Not particularly beautiful, but not ugly either—quite average.

But, whether it was an illusion or not, when the princess looked at him, her eyes momentarily became vertical slits.

Vertical pupils?

Could human eyes have vertical pupils?

Ye Qiyan trusted his observational skills. This princess clearly had issues.

"Divine Envoy, greetings. I am Franier, the Third Princess of the Duchy of Randal. Thank you for coming. I never thought the legends were actually true. Is this the divine envoy's train? Truly remarkable."

Ye Qiyan smiled faintly.

"It's nothing special. I'll take you out of here. Just a moment."

He closed the window.

Ye Qiyan bent down and patted WALL-E's head.

Placing a Train Coin on its head.

Treasure hunting mode activated, WALL-E waved its mechanical arm, indicating it would definitely find treasure.

"Be careful—there's supposedly a dragon in here."

Emerging from the train, the knights and Franier heard the noise and looked over.

Before they could react, they saw Ye Qiyan step out of the train carrying a backpack.

Turning back to close the door, he activated both the Sentry and Surveillant Device.

"Hmm?"

He stopped the Sentry's desire to attack.

With a somewhat playful expression, he looked toward the princess among the knights.

"An enemy, huh?~ How interesting."

The princess held hostility.

Ye Qiyan didn't voice it aloud, but he felt that this station's true hidden mission must be found through this Princess Franier.

"Divine Envoy, what are you...?"

The knight who had removed his helmet looked over in confusion.

"Shouldn't you let us board the train with you to leave this place? Why..."

Ye Qiyan interrupted him.

"The train will remain here. From now on, I'll travel with you."
