The "Survival on the Train" game has bugs, it's really laggy!

By this time, the treasure-guarding spirit had already retreated back into the treasure chest. Su Yuan simply smiled slightly. It was enough that the spirit had reminded him. There was no point in making a meaningless sacrifice when a companion was in danger.

At least this guy is someone I can work with.

Store the opponent's treasure chest into your bracelet.

Back on the train, the first thing Su Yuan did was deal with the woman still bound by vines—Sun Ya.

"Master, you're back!"

The human form that Little Fire transformed into immediately ran out of the driver's seat. Seeing that Su Yuan was safe and sound, his bright green face was full of joy.

"Hmm." Su Yuan nodded, his gaze falling on Sun Ya, who was bound like a dumpling by vines and thrown into the corner.

The woman had completely lost her previous arrogance and madness. She seemed to have been ripped from her soul, her eyes were empty, her face was ashen, and she lay there motionless.

When she saw Su Yuan approaching, her body trembled involuntarily, her lips quivered, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Fear had completely destroyed her will.

"Master, what should we do with this woman? Should we just feed her to the pitcher plant's toilet?"

Little Fire tilted its head and asked curiously.

In its current worldview, enemies are simply used to provide fuel for the train.

"No rush," Su Yuan waved his hand. "She's still somewhat useful."

As he spoke, Su Yuan squatted down, extended his finger, and gently touched Sun Ya's forehead.

While the "Eye of Truth" is powerful, it leans more towards "seeing through" and "analyzing," making it a passive defensive ability.

Su Yuan, on the other hand, needs a mental ability that allows him to actively attack.

He wanted an ability that could directly destroy the enemy's will at the mental level, and even plunder their memories and abilities!

Sun Ya, a woman with talents such as "empathy" or "mind reading," is his best "reference material."

"Don't be nervous, I won't let you die too painfully." Su Yuan's voice was very calm, revealing no emotion.

But these words, when they reached Sun Ya's ears, were more terrifying than any vicious curse.

"No...no...please...let me go..." Sun Ya finally found her voice and began to struggle and cry out frantically.

She used all her strength and activated her talent, trying to sense Su Yuan's thoughts and find a glimmer of hope.

However, the moment her mental energy cautiously touched Su Yuan's consciousness...

boom!

Sun Ya felt as if her head had been hit head-on by a supernova!

What did she "see"?

She saw an endless, dark abyss churning with thunder and flood.

She saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood, countless monsters wailing, and gods falling.

She saw a being dwelling at the very bottom of the abyss, a being beyond description in any language, more terrifying and greater than any evil god she had ever seen!

That being merely opened its eyes and gave her a cold glance.

Just that one glance.

Sun Ya's mental world collapsed and shattered instantly, turning into the most primitive nothingness, just as if it had been washed by billions of tons of nuclear bombs!

"ah--!"

A short, extremely painful scream came from Sun Ya's throat.

Then, her body suddenly stiffened, her eyes completely lost focus, a trickle of saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth, and she became a complete, soulless vegetable.

She's gone mad.

Or rather, her soul had been completely crushed by Su Yuan's terrifying mental world.

Su Yuan slowly withdrew his finger, his face expressionless.

He had anticipated this outcome.

With his current mental strength, let alone an ordinary player like Sun Ya, even if a "clown" of Sequence 8 came and dared to use his mental power to spy on him, his fate would definitely not be good.

However, that brief contact was enough.

In that instant, Su Yuan had completely analyzed Sun Ya's talent composition and her pitiful knowledge of "telepathy" through the "Eye of Truth".

[It has been detected that your understanding of the "mind" realm has reached the "beginner" level, meeting the prerequisites for "self-evolution."]

[Do you wish to consume evolution points to evolve your ability?]

"Is this enough for beginners?"

Su Yuan muttered to himself.

After all, Sun Ya's talent is not strong, and the knowledge she can provide is limited.

But it doesn't matter, he has evolution points, he can force it up.

"Evolutionary direction: mental attack, will exploitation," Su Yuan commanded in his mind.

[Evolutionary intent detected: "Will plunder"]

[Based on your knowledge and physical potential, we are currently deducing the optimal solution...]

[Deduction complete!]

[Evolutionary Direction: Willpower Plunder (Rare)]

[Evolutionary Requirements: 2000 Evolution Points]

[Ability Description: You can forcibly invade the target's mental world, impacting and plundering their will. Upon success, you will have a certain chance to obtain fragments of the target's memories, and even... temporarily 'copy' some of their abilities.]

[Note: When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Be careful not to ruin yourself.]

"Will Plunder..." Su Yuan looked at the description of this ability and nodded in satisfaction.

Although it was only of rare quality and there was a risk of failure, he was very interested in the effect of this "copying" ability.

This means that, if used properly, he can even temporarily steal his opponent's abilities during battle, turning their own methods against them!

"That's it!"

"Consuming 2000 Evolution Points, evolve into 'Willpower Plunder'!"

[Command confirmed!]

[Undergoing "self-evolution"...]

Another surge of energy erupted from the void panel and poured into Su Yuan's body.

This time, it wasn't his eyes that were strengthened, but his brain.

Su Yuan felt as if his cerebral cortex was being repeatedly pierced by countless fine electric needles, a tingling sensation spreading from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

This process is not as painful as the "True Eye"; on the contrary, it has a strange sense of comfort.

The evolution ended a dozen seconds later.

Congratulations! You have successfully evolved a brand new ability: Willpower Stealing (Rare)!

Su Yuan opened his eyes, a barely perceptible glint of light flashing within them.

He could feel that his mental energy had become more concentrated and more "aggressive".

If the previous mental energy was like a calm lake...

So now, it's an incredibly sharp scalpel!

"Come on, let me try it out."

Su Yuan turned his gaze back to Sun Ya, who had become a vegetable.

He reached out and touched the other person's forehead again.

"Willpower Plunder!"

hum!

An invisible mental wave shot out from his fingertips and instantly entered Sun Ya's already shattered mental world.

This time, Su Yuan was no longer a bystander, but an intruder.

He began to rummage and plunder freely in Sun Ya's chaotic ocean of memories.

Soon, he forcibly "copied" some fragmented and unsystematic memory images.

He saw all of Sun Ya's memories, including those before she entered the train world. However, she was just a junior employee who had graduated two years ago and came from a relatively ordinary background, so she didn't have any secrets.

These memories are of no value to Su Yuan.

What he really wanted was the other person's talent itself.

Su Yuan increased the output of his mental energy.

boom!

Sun Yana's already shattered mental world was completely turned into a mess.

At the heart of that chaos, a faint white light emanated from an energy core representing the talent of "telepathy," which was revealed.

"Found it!"

Su Yuan's eyes lit up, and his mental energy transformed into an invisible hand, grabbing fiercely at the energy core!

[Looting successful!]

[You have temporarily copied the target talent: "Telepathy (Normal)"!]

Duration: 10 minutes.

[Prompt: Do you wish to use Purification Points to make this talent permanent?]

A completely new and unfamiliar feeling welled up in Su Yuan's heart.

He felt his range of perception expand several times in an instant.

He could "hear" the pure admiration and dependence that Xiao Huo felt for him.

He could "hear" the treasure-guarding spirit hiding in the treasure chest, plotting how to get more reward from him later.

He could even "hear" the train itself, its vibrant and joyful "heartbeat."

"Is this... telepathy?"

Su Yuan found it very novel.

My newly acquired talent, [Willpower Plunder], is offensive and can also read memories.

Sun Ya's telepathy is a feeling of empathy, but it is much weaker in comparison.

Ten minutes later, the strange feeling disappeared.

Su Yuan ultimately only left a mark on this talent, without confirming it immediately. Instead, he could use evolution points to further activate it later if he wanted.

Compared to telepathy, Su Yuan still prefers willpower exploitation. Any living being, even just an ant, releases a great deal of emotional fluctuation before death. Even I would be severely affected. The side effect of this talent is likely to cause mental confusion!

When facing an enemy, killing is killing; there's no need for much empathy. After all, the moment the decision is made, the outcome for the enemy is already predetermined.

"Small fire."

"Yes, Master!"

"Get rid of it."

"Okay!"

Xiao Huo responded, and the huge pitcher plant toilet in the corner of the carriage suddenly opened its blood-red maw.

Several thick vines wrapped around Sun Ya's body and threw her in without mercy.

With a sickening crunching sound and the gurgling of liquid, this woman, who had once teetered on the brink of life and death but ultimately met her demise due to a single wrong choice, vanished completely from this world.

【ding dong——】

[Blood and flesh energy detected, in process of conversion...]

[Transformation complete. Obtained 50 units of flesh and blood energy.]

Su Yuan glanced at the numbers on the panel, but didn't feel anything.

What he needs to do now is to take stock of the real big gains from this instance.

Those...treasure chests that allow him to synthesize golden treasure chests!
