Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 456: Chapter 291: Golden Eye Patrol (Part 2)

Clear and transparent.

A sharp aura radiated unconsciously from the mongoose at the center.

The paper on the table was silently cut in half.

Xiaoba’s pupils contracted; the mongoose in front of him was still the same one, but no matter how he looked, it seemed a bit more ”perfect” than before. It wasn’t an illusion because the mongoose had evolved at that moment.

It had become a Tier One Professional, and even its demeanor had undergone a leap-like transformation, which was genetic evolution.

...

”Tier One ’Golden Eye Patrol’.”

Su Huan looked at the mongoose in front of him and calmly uttered a few words.

Shu Wei immediately lowered her head and picked up a tablet to search for this profession in the database.

”Don’t bother checking; I know all the professions in the database, and we haven’t recorded this profession,” Director Xu said with a hint of amazement.

Having said that, he subtly glanced at Su Huan.

As a former top evolution researcher of a major force, often overwhelmed by the conductor’s understanding of evolutionary professions, Director Xu always felt a sense of absurdity.

But being a very experienced Old Jiang, he would only suspect Su Huan.

”Tier One ’Golden Eye Patrol,’ Sister Cat, this profession sounds quite impressive.”

Xiaoba praised.

After awakening, both instinctively thought of reporting the information to the conductor, but after looking around and not finding him, they decided to come to Director Xu to register. They happened to encounter the conductor, who was knowledgeable about scientific research.

Upon seeing the mongoose, Su Huan immediately recognized this profession.

The name itself revealed that it was a promotion path summarized by Deep Blue Data.

Since ”Beastification” is considered a major direction for ”Defender,” many forces have conducted research in this direction.

The consensus among them is that the feline ”Golden Eye Patrol” direction is quite powerful in beastification.

In the Steel Council’s database, this profession is placed on the first few pages of ”Defender,” and those clear, transparent golden eyes left a deep impression on Su Huan.

And the skill called ”Nine Lives” kept him tossing and turning, sleepless at night.

”Nine Lives,” as the name suggests, means having nine lives.

It is described in the data that as long as the flesh remains more than seventy percent, it will resurrect again.

And it can do so nine times!

A full nine chances at resurrection!

It’s like a cheat code.

Of course, this incredible skill is not something a Tier One Evolver can possess; at least Tier Three has the chance to awaken it.

But that alone is terrifying enough.

For a top assassin like this, nine lives can at least replace nine of the same-level Evolvers.

The previous life of Su Huan, who only had a power bank and a weak combat ability, could imagine his craving for this skill.

Although it would have been useless for his past self.

Or maybe not.

Nine sections are better than one.

But when this profession appeared alive in front of him, Su Huan still felt a bit jealous.

”If I remember correctly, this seems to be a four-skill profession, Kitty, do you only have three skills?”

Su Huan squinted and asked.

The mongoose nodded, ”I just awakened an ordinary skill, ’Strengthened Will,’ and then I advanced.”

Su Huan let out a light breath.

Next to him, Director Xu chuckled bitterly, ” ’Strengthened Will’ is not an ordinary skill. From my research, this skill can make one immune to many mental manipulation and emotional guidance skills, and can also assist many skills.”

”Really that powerful?”

The mongoose’s eyes widened, not expecting to awaken such a powerful skill and profession just by casually chatting with Xiaoba.

”Advancing later will be hard, but its combat power can be said to be invincible at the same tier.”

Su Huan gave a fair evaluation.

The mongoose, as if injected with adrenaline, shook its ears vigorously and looked fiercely at Su Huan, ”Can I defeat the conductor?”

Su Huan was taken aback and then chuckled, ”The premise is that you have to be at the same tier as me.”

”Just being the same tier is enough?”

”Only when at the same tier will you understand what despair is.”

Su Huan said calmly.

Unless one is crushed by rank, it is only being crushed by him. Only upon reaching Tier Two can one realize how strong he really is.

Below Tier Two, getting defeated means being defeated.

A stronger ant and a weaker ant are hardly different.

The mongoose’s ears drooped but quickly perked up again, filled with fighting spirit, ”There will definitely be a chance to consult the conductor in the future!”

”Oh?”

Su Huan looked playfully at this suddenly aggressive kitty.

This doesn’t seem to be a change brought by evolution.

”Conductor, I think you did something wrong.”

The mongoose’s words caused everyone’s face to freeze slightly.

Su Huan sharply noticed Xiaoba’s intent to turn the wheelchair and escape, stretching his toe to block the wheel, smiling, ”What did I do wrong?”

The mongoose stared straight at Su Huan.

”I don’t think Old Wu should have been executed so cruelly in public, even if he did something very excessive.”

”Specific reason? Speak boldly; the conductor is very happy to accept opinions.”

”I think executing Old Wu that way was too demoralizing; it should be announced in front of everyone with Old Wu’s crimes, and then he should be formally executed. Besides, using an ancient penalty like clubbing shouldn’t be done.”

As the mongoose spoke, he suddenly felt the figure before him drawing closer.

Aware of danger, his underlying instincts activated, subconsciously trying to hiss at him.

In the crackling of electricity,

The mongoose stood motionless, knees slightly bent, adopting a semi-squat posture, ready to leap backward at any moment, while Su Huan’s large hand landed on her head, mischievously rubbing the slightly singed fur on her small ears.

Until the electricity disappeared, the mongoose jumped out of Su Huan’s range.

The upper eyelid of the round eyes became a fierce straight line.

(No time to find pictures now, someone with better ones, feel free to replace.)

Sharp tiger teeth also appeared.

”Ha...”

The change came so fast that even Xiaoba and Shu Wei didn’t react in time.

Su Huan looked at his hand in surprise.

Though he hadn’t used much energy, the mongoose escaped quicker than he expected.

Looks like the ”Strengthened Will” is indeed quite impressive.

Facing the cautious mongoose, Su Huan flashed a wicked smile, teeth glaring similar to hers.

”I heard your suggestion, but—I’m not planning to follow it.”

”Then, what is your choice?”

The first sentence was teasing; the second turned serious, even Xiaoba’s face showed some seriousness.

The mongoose steadied his demeanor, clenched his fist, and sincerely said, ”Conductor, one day you will follow my suggestion.”

”By virtue of my strength!”

Seeing the mongoose’s edgy stance, Su Huan’s taut expression collapsed instantly, bursting into laughter as he extended his hand, ”Congratulations, you’re considered part of the train’s first tier.”

The mongoose looked at Su Huan’s outstretched hand, golden eyes glimmering, then firmly shook it.

”Please take care of me, conductor.”

...

The same day, two new professions were added to the armed train database.

One was the mongoose’s ”Golden Eye Patrol,” and the other was Tong Zizhan’s ”Dusk Robe.”

It sounds abstract, but all the skill effects combined serve one purpose: minimizing one’s presence.

As an information reconnaissance officer, being strong might be an option.

But hiding oneself is never a wrong choice.

Director Xu had regarded Tong Zizhan as a research target quite some time ago. Based on Tong Zizhan’s daily characteristics, he compared those skills one by one and finally pieced together the ”Dusk Robe” profession.

Su Huan achieved a clear breakthrough on this matter only recently.

The armed train hadn’t fully sorted itself out yet, nor had he developed the idea of fostering spies.

However, even without follow-ups, this profession will be useful in the future.

(My schedule is erratic; I sleep during the day and am lively at night, but today I stayed up to entertain guests, eyelids fighting, so there won’t be an update burst today. Tomorrow, definitely tomorrow!)
