85: Mechanical Engineering is just different.

As expected of a mechanical creation.

It even has two talents, and both are decent blue ones.

It seems I need to do more good deeds in the future.

"Can you speak?"

"Yes, Commander. My core processor has a built-in language module, allowing for seamless communication with you."

Train Hero replied in a somewhat mechanical tone.

"Very good."

Bai Ye patted Train Hero's smooth, large head with satisfaction: "Introduce all of your functions to me."

"Very well, Commander."

A virtual screen projected from Train Hero's electronic eyes, listing all of its functions and parameters.

Bai Ye couldn't understand most of the parameters.

He was still just a high school student who hadn't graduated yet; how would he understand any of this technology?

However, he could still understand some of the skill explanations.

For example, Gigantification allowed Train Hero to grow from over a meter tall to about twice the size of a normal locomotive.

And its computing power, which rivaled a supercomputer.

This was no longer just a simple beast pet; if placed in a world without Demonic Beasts, it would be a mobile war fortress.

Moreover, it seemed it could even create temporary railways!

Isn't this that train thing, oh right, the electric train from Masked Heroes.

Bai Ye used the illustrated compendium to check Train Hero's evolution forms.

He didn't know until he looked, and he was shocked when he did.

【Super-Space-Time Galaxy Express】

【Aptitude】: Mythical

【Evolution Conditions】: ...

Theoretically, Demonic Beasts can indeed evolve infinitely, but there are limits to how many Ranks an ordinary beast pet can evolve at once.

Like Lan, who could indeed evolve directly into a Spiritual Charm Monarch Orchid, and there were even higher evolution forms above that.

But it wasn't as outrageous as Train Hero, evolving directly into Mythical Aptitude.

The rating system given by the association didn't even have this Aptitude!

Did it replace every part except for the chip?

Bai Ye took a deep breath, stopped looking at the evolution conditions of the Super-Space-Time Galaxy Express, and started talking about business with Train Hero.

"Can you take me to Phantom Thunder Dragon City in the Nine Dragons Domain?"

With his own Train Hero, Bai Ye felt that even high-speed rail wasn't as appealing anymore.

"Planning route..."

Train Hero's electronic eyes flickered with blue light:

"Optimal route planned. Estimated travel time is nineteen hours and thirty-seven minutes. infinite can adjust its size to travel on highways without violating traffic regulations."

"Very good. Take me to Phantom Thunder Dragon City in a while."

As he spoke, Bai Ye suddenly remembered another matter:

"I saw in the introduction that you can self-modify. Can you install a cockpit for me inside your body?"

Bai Ye took out the item heart of fusion obtained from the Secret Realm and placed it in front of Train Hero.

Although he was very capable of fighting himself, sitting inside a giant robot to control it in battle was also a man's romance.

The item heart of fusion could also allow Train Hero to enter an overclocked state, making it even stronger.

Once the enemy defeated Train Hero, he would jump out from inside, which would definitely give the opponent a big surprise.

"According to my calculations, the cockpit transplant modification will take three days."

Train Hero scanned the heart of fusion and replied matter-of-factly.

"Three days... That's a bit long."

He still had to complete the trial within two and a half days.

Bai Ye rubbed his chin: "Forget it, let's talk about it after I get back. Do you have a cockpit now?"

"infinite has a normal cockpit inside. Although the functions are incomplete, it can satisfy basic driving needs."

"That will do."

He was currently only a Second-Tier Beast Tamer and could not yet sign a contract with Train Hero.

He couldn't absorb Train Hero's attribute and skills through the Bond Nexus.

With such useful talents and skills, he could only watch!

He would have to ask the association for some strategy missions later to see if he could grind out a higher-level Pioneer Key.

First, hurry to Phantom Thunder Dragon City to solve Xiao Hei's problem.

Seeing that Bai Ye was about to leave, Lan used her Vine Whip to control her body and landed lightly on top of his head.

A few soft vines hung down like a deep purple headpiece.

Bai Ye placed Xiao Hei and Phantom Snow on his left and right shoulders respectively.

Done.

Bai Ye finally arrived at the villa entrance.

Train Hero already knew Bai Ye's destination and transformed into an ultra-narrow locomotive that was only one-third the width of a normal train.

"infinite, set off. Destination: Phantom Thunder Dragon City."

"Received, Commander."

The locomotive let out a high-pitched whistle, startling many people in the villa area who hadn't woken up yet.

What's going on? When did a train station open at their doorstep?

When they went to the window to look, they found a train actually driving on the road, and couldn't help but shake their heads, thinking they might not have woken up yet.

They turned back and went to get some more sleep.

How could there possibly be a private Train Hero here?

The locomotive drove out of the Star Viewing Residence complex and successfully merged into the city's traffic.

Railways could be quickly generated and disappear under Train Hero's feet, so there was no need to worry about affecting other vehicles driving normally.

Bai Ye sat in the comfortable cockpit, watching the streetscape rapidly receding outside the window, feeling exceptionally relaxed.

This feeling was much more comfortable than squeezing onto a high-speed train.

Although the space wasn't large, at least it belonged to him alone.

Train Hero's driving skills were perfect, and its computing power, which rivaled a supercomputer, allowed it to predict traffic conditions in advance.

It shuttled through the crowded traffic with ease.

Soon, they drove onto the highway leading to the Nine Dragons Domain.

"Commander, automatic driving mode engaged. Estimated arrival at the outskirts of Phantom Thunder Dragon City in eighteen hours."

Bai Ye leaned back in the seat and relaxed his body.

The long journey was the perfect time for him to think about his next plan.

...

Meanwhile, on the same highway, a fiery red convertible sports car roared, speeding past one car after another.

In the driver's seat was a young man wearing sunglasses, showing off triumphantly to his female companion in the passenger seat.

"Baby, see that? This is my newly acquired 'Flame Kiss'. There are only one hundred in the world. The engine alone uses the core of an Elite Rank fire-type Demonic Beast, and it only takes two seconds to accelerate to one hundred kilometers per hour."

"Young Master Zhao, you are so amazing."

In the passenger seat, the scantily clad internet-celebrity-faced companion let out an exaggerated exclamation.

She pressed her body tightly against him, her voice sickeningly sweet.

"Haha, this is nothing."

The rich second-generation heir known as Young Master Zhao, flattered by this compliment, felt like he was floating and slammed his foot down on the accelerator, causing the sports car's speed to soar once again.

"Hold on tight, baby. Let me show you what real speed and passion are!"

As the sports car went faster and faster, the companion's exclamations also grew louder.

She pointed her finger to the other side of the lane.
