Train Survival: Can I get a treasure chest by touching my goddess?

In the third carriage, Su Mu leaned against the kitchen doorway.

Jiang Youchu stood by the stove in the kitchen, slicing a piece of spirit pork, the knife making a loud thud as it fell.

Su Mu said, "Be gentle, you're going to chop the cutting board through! Besides, there are automatic ones available, why do you still want to do it yourself!"

"I think automatic mode is pretty good too."

Jiang Youchu didn't even look up: "I'm willing."

Su Mu didn't say anything more.

Jiang Youchu chopped a few times, then finally couldn't help but stop, stuck the knife into the cutting board, and turned to look at Su Mu.

"How long have they been inside?"

Su Mu glanced at the time: "Twenty minutes."

"Only twenty minutes?" Jiang Youchu's eyes widened. "It feels like two hours have passed."

"Why didn't you feel it was slower when you were inside?"

Su Mu became unusually talkative.

Jiang Youchu whispered, "No, he loses consciousness from time to time and doesn't know how much time has passed."

"6. You really dare to say that!"

Su Mu shook his head, but while chatting with Jiang Youchu, he also kept his eyes on the door of the [Abundant Bedroom].

The soundproofing is really good!

Bai Shuiyao sat by the porthole, holding the three-tailed fox in her arms, scratching the fox's belly with her fingers.

She glanced at Su Mu, then at Jiang Youchu, and said bluntly, "If you're worried, you can knock on the door."

Su Mu and Jiang Youchu both looked at her at the same time.

This is even more impressive; they're just paying attention.

This guy even made them knock on the door!

Bai Shuiyao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the two people, so she lowered her head and scratched the fox.

"I was just saying."

Jiang Youchu took a deep breath and exhaled, "Let's wait, it might not be that quick."

Bai Shuiyao blinked, then blinked again. Then she said "Oh," and continued scratching the fox.

Lydia stood in the corner, her face as red as a boiled shrimp.

Su Mu glanced at Lydia and said, "Alright, stop thinking about it. You little priest, you're not thinking straight. Come help me with this."

"Oh!"

Lydia nodded repeatedly, shaking her head as if she wanted to throw something away.

The door to the abundant bedroom finally opened.

Shen Wenxian walked out, his black T-shirt collar slightly open.

Su Qingxuan followed behind him, her hair casually clipped with hairpins, a few stray strands hanging down beside her ears, her face still flushed.

She walked a little slower than usual, but her back remained straight.

Jiang Youchu leaned against the kitchen doorway, still holding the cleaver in her hand, and looked Su Qingxuan up and down before slowly spreading her lips into a smile: "Sister Qingxuan, what you've done—"

"Shut up."

Su Qingxuan didn't even look at her. She walked to the storage box, picked up a glass of water, took two gulps, and said, "You guys get back to work."

Jiang Youchu swallowed back the words she hadn't finished saying, but her eyes were still scanning Su Qingxuan, from her flushed cheeks to the side of her neck, where there were also red marks.

"That was intense!"

Although Jiang Youchu's voice was soft, the train was only so big that everyone could hear it.

Su Mu stood beside the worktable, his gaze sweeping over Su Qingxuan's face before returning to it, his expression remaining blank.

But then a thought crossed her mind.

My sister used to have suitors at her company; the line of men chasing her stretched from downstairs to the street corner.

Some people sent flowers, some invited her to dinner, and some even waited for her in the parking lot. My sister had the same expression on her face no matter who it was.

Polite, distant, neither too close nor too distant.

Those men privately said that Su Qingxuan was an iceberg, sexually frigid, and lacked romantic understanding.

Su Mu didn't say anything at the time, but now, thinking back on it, she almost burst out laughing.

It's not that my sister is cold; it's that she's cold to you all.

Shen Wen rubbed his nose, his gaze sweeping over the four women. "Qingxuan, ask Huo Mengjiao how auxiliary passengers get to the upgrade platform?"

Su Qingxuan nodded, opened her cross-regional friend list, found Huo Mengjiao's name, and sent her a private message.

[Su Qingxuan: This is Su Qingxuan. Shen Wen asked me to ask you something. If it's an auxiliary sequence, how do I get through the advancement platform?]

The other party replied instantly.

[Huo Mengjiao: Hmm? It's simple. Just have your spiders follow. Although the summoned creatures on the train are subordinate to the train conductor, passengers can bring them along.]

[Su Qingxuan: Okay, thanks!]

[Huo Mengjiao: By the way, should my brother put in a good word for the Aurora Festival?]

[Su Qingxuan: No need, Shen Wen said he can handle it.]

[Huo Mengjiao: Okay. Tell Shen Wen that the White Pagoda can help him if he needs it.]

Su Qingxuan clicked his tongue. He really knows how to please women.

She then shared the chat with Shen Wen.

Shen Wen nodded, understanding the situation.

"Okay, then let her take the Thousand-Limbed Demon Spider with her."

Having resolved Lydia's matter, Shen Wen felt relieved.

He took out the facility upgrade card from his spatial backpack and twirled the silver-white card in his palm.

"Facility upgrade cards, now only the greenhouse and kitchen need to be upgraded. What should I use them for?"

"kitchen!"

Jiang Youchu was the first to speak, her voice crisp and clear, "It feels like the kitchen has been upgraded; the dishes we make will have attribute bonuses, right?"

Su Mu, without looking up from her worktable, said, "Don't rush. Let's see if there are any better facilities on the redemption list."

What if there's something better worth upgrading to? It would be a waste to find something better after you've used it all.

Jiang Youchu turned and glared at her: "Eating is important too!"

Su Mu looked up at her expressionlessly: "I didn't say it wasn't important. I said we'd see first and then decide. What's the rush?"

Jiang Youchu opened her mouth, wanting to say something in rebuttal, but found that she really didn't have any valid reasons.

She puffed out her cheeks and swallowed her words.

"Okay, okay, I'll take a look first. We'll talk about it later."

Shen Wen put the facility upgrade card back into his spatial backpack and then took out the module upgrade card.

"What about the module upgrade card? What's it used for?"

This time, Jiang Youchu learned her lesson and didn't rush to speak. She glanced at Su Mu first.

Su Mu didn't speak, and continued to sort out the supplies with her head down.

Jiang Youchu then spoke up: "I think the sales clerk could be promoted one level."

After the last upgrade, the old man changed his broken cart to an eight-immortal table, and he also had more goods.

Upgrading to the next level might allow us to add even more types of products.

This time, Su Mu didn't interrupt her, but he did say, "Upgrade the train first. See what modules are given as a bonus, then decide how to use this card."

Jiang Youchu's eyes widened: "Why are you doing this again—"

"I'm telling the truth."

Su Mu raised her head, her tone calm, "It's just that your mind is confused and you haven't thought it through."

What if the modules included with the train upgrade are more useful than the salesperson?

Check again after the upgrade; there's no conflict.

Jiang Youchu's face turned red from the base of her neck upwards, as red as if she had been scalded by boiling water.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but found that she really hadn't thought of anything.

I just blurted that out without thinking.

She puffed out her cheeks and muttered softly, "It wasn't me who slept with Shen Wen, why are you interrupting me..."

The carriage was silent for a moment.

Su Mu looked at her expressionlessly: "Say it again?"

Jiang Youchu shrank her neck and mumbled even softer, "N-nothing."

Shen Wenqian coughed and steered the conversation back on track: "Then let's upgrade the train first. We'll talk about the module upgrade cards after we see the free modules."

He clicked the vehicle upgrade option on the panel.

[Train upgrade required: 800 kg wood, 800 kg metal, 300 kg mechanical parts, 10 catties gold, 50 kg copper, 10 kg starstone, 100 kg refined iron, 1 space crystal, 1 wind god crystal, 1 moonstone crystal]

The materials were prepared long ago.

Shen Wen clicked "confirm".

The entire train shook.

It wasn't the slight tremor we had before, but a violent shaking that started from the floor to the ceiling.

The metal box in the storage compartment emitted a low hum, and a layer of silver-white patterns appeared on the surface of the box, spreading along the edges to the ground and embedding themselves into the carriage floor like tree roots.

The light outside the porthole distorted for a moment.

The tremor lasted for more than ten seconds before finally subsiding.

The system message isn't finished yet.

Congratulations! Train D5612 has become the first train in the region to be upgraded to Level 6!

[You are the first person to upgrade, your reward is being upgraded...]

[Train Module Card (Iron Level) → Special Train Module Card (Bronze Level)]

[Anchor Gate (Bronze Module): Allows anchoring at previously visited platforms. Returns to a platform once every 24 hours for 4 hours (can be extended with docking delay time). Current anchoring count: 0/1]

Upon seeing the module, Shen Wen raised an eyebrow and said, "Perhaps we can go back to where Bai Shuiyao is."

"Um?"

The five women were puzzled, so Shen Wen showed them the functions of the newly acquired module card.

"Indeed, as the saying goes, 'Heaven never seals off all paths!'"

Shen Wen had been looking for tokens to go to the Giant Beast Battlefield in the exchange, but he didn't expect this special module card to give him such a pleasant surprise.

"Hey, let's upgrade quickly and see if we can anchor two, then one of them can choose the Fallen Cave," Jiang Youchu said hurriedly.

"That's unnecessary." Lydia shook her head; she had no attachment to the Griffin Kingdom.

"However, it can also be upgraded. If we can anchor some more valuable stations in the future, then we will have a place to produce resources regularly."

Shen Wen spoke up and used the module upgrade card directly.

[Salesperson (Bronze Level) → (Bronze Level): After upgrading, you will gain 1 anchor point and the duration will be extended by 2 hours. Confirm upgrade?]

Shen Wen pressed confirm.

"Let's anchor on the behemoth battlefield first."

Hopefully, Bai Chen was mentally prepared for this. Before, it seemed like a life-or-death situation, but now it's all right.

Just as I had calmed down, my daughter, whom I thought I would never see again, came back.
