Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

"So I got noticed by those inspectors because of you?"

Menrojina examined Ye Qiyan with keen interest.

"In a certain sense, yes. After all, I was the one who spread the news that the Imperial Sequence Organization would come to Suoluo City. Otherwise, how would those fools under the Indolent Ones know about this? They came after you simply because you're new to this city. They call it... routine procedure."

A small girl with bluish skin entered carrying two cups of warm water.

"Here you go."

The girl carefully handed a cup to Ye Qiyan.

"Thank you."

Menrojina—this name did indeed appear in the Imperial Sequence Organization's chat room.

"Aren't you curious why I spread this information?"

"Not curious."

Ye Qiyan placed the untouched water cup aside and turned to leave.

"Wait."

Menrojina stopped him, stood up, and tossed over a key.

"Leaving so soon? You'll still be searched by those inspectors outside. Come with me—at least let's relocate your train first."

"..."

Menrojina produced a long ceremonial sword from somewhere and traced it along the wall behind her. A door quietly materialized.

"Honestly, I don't understand why that charlatan Zhu Xingshu insisted on sending a newcomer like you to this city. But since I'm the one who spread the information, which indirectly caused you trouble, I need to take responsibility."

Beyond the door lay a small platform with three tracks, completely different from the dilapidated scenery outside—it felt like entering another dimension.

"Use that key to unlock one track, then insert your capsule key into the other slot. That will transport your capsule tunnel here. Don't worry about the original location—my people will erase your entry records. As a newcomer, it's better not to have a bounty on your head."

"Won't people notice when the capsule gets transported?"

"No. I originally designed the capsule tunnels myself before those people took them over. Of course I left plenty of backdoors."

"Damn..."

Listening to Menrojina's confident words, Ye Qiyan didn't know where to begin. Erasing records, designing capsule tunnels, creating backdoors—no wonder she was a senior member. This city's intelligence system was probably full of holes, with nothing able to escape her notice.

Inserting both keys, a green grid-like projection appeared in the sky. The capsule tunnel slowly descended through this grid projection, gradually dissolving as the preserved train settled perfectly onto the second track.

"Thanks."

"I told you, I'm taking responsibility."

Several bluish-skinned children brought two chairs for Menrojina, placing them on either side. She sat back, crossing her long wheat-colored legs, and continued studying Ye Qiyan with the intense gaze of a woman admiring a beautiful gem.

"Honestly, I'm quite curious about you."

"Me? I'm just a newcomer. Nothing worth your curiosity, senior."

Menrojina stroked her ceremonial sword, a slight smile curling beneath her mask.

"No, you're special. Different from any newcomer I've met before."

"Really?"

"Absolutely. The fact that you released that madwoman Shaya already proves your extraordinary nature. According to that charlatan Zhu Xingshu, this is fate? Hah, though to me it's complete nonsense."

"Just slightly better luck than others. Nothing special."

Ye Qiyan's modesty made Menrojina laugh.

"Hehe~ You're really interesting. Everyone has luck. From the first train conductors entering this world who knows how many years ago until now, lucky individuals are everywhere. Everything you've encountered can't be explained by luck alone. Hmm, not even by fate. I hate fate most of all."

Menrojina shifted to a more comfortable position.

"If I get the chance, I'll definitely stab that charlatan Zhu Xingshu to death, then strip her naked and throw her to the wild dogs in the wilderness."

The lazy tone delivering such terrifying words made Ye Qiyan recall what Shaya had said: "There isn't a single normal person in this organization." It seemed increasingly true—except for himself.

"...Uh, you don't need to tell me that. I didn't hear anything."

"Haha, don't worry. That charlatan isn't that petty. I'm not the only one in the organization who wants her dead. Don't you find it disgusting how she casually manipulates people's fates? Doesn't it make you want to kill her too?"

He considered this question seriously, then shook his head.

"These things don't really matter to me."

"Why do you say that?"

"As long as I'm doing what I want to do, what does fate matter? If it's seen, then it's seen. If it's good news, everyone's happy. If it's bad, then change it. If it benefits me, I acknowledge it. If it doesn't, I reject it. If you say the fate you see can't be changed... well, I just won't believe it."

Silence.

Menrojina stared intently at him for a long moment before finally breaking the quiet atmosphere.

"You're truly fascinating. No wonder that madwoman would... hehe~ By the way, what's your card sequence? That charlatan Zhu Xingshu might be annoying, but she's decent to newcomers. The power of a card sequence should be enough to get you easily through the early stations."

"Demon Card. What about you, senior?"

"Demon Card? I remember someone collected that before. That person isn't in our organization—they're a high-up in the City of a Thousand Stars. But that individual has already joined the Indolent Ones, completely lost the drive to come out, only sending subordinates to collect cards. As for me~"

Her sword danced through the air.

A card depicting the back of a woman kneeling at an altar appeared, slowly rotating above them.

"Ritual Card. My sequence is Ritual. If you ever find cards from this sequence at any station, let me know. I'll trade you equivalent items or Demon Cards for them."

A system screen suddenly appeared, displaying a friend request.

Selecting accept, he gained another senior in his friend list.

"Oh? System binding? You already have it this early?"

This kind of surprise wasn't the first time Ye Qiyan had heard.

"Is system binding that rare?"

"In a certain sense, not really. Once your Train Conductor level reaches 30, the system binding module always appears in the upgrade options. But I've never seen anyone get it as early as you. At most, people might get items that can carry systems. Interesting... could this be related to your talent?"
