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

Shen Wen withdrew his gaze and looked back at the light screen.

"In that case, we can replace the Zhu Yan cub, but we don't need to replace the Fiery Eyes. Neither Bai Shuiyao nor I need it."

Bai Shuiyao nodded in agreement. They all had the Butcher's Gaze, which allowed them to almost predict the future. Wasn't that better than dynamic vision?

As for gazing into the distance, that's of no use to them!

"But steel armor and the roar of war are worth exchanging!"

"War Cry doesn't seem necessary, we already have mental attacks."

Su Qing preached.

After all, there's her Eye of Pain, her Painful Whip, Su Mu's newly acquired Fiery Eyes, and Shen Wen's Domain of the God of Slaughter.

They are all forms of psychological attack.

As for Lydia, forget about her; she's a support character.

Shen Wen said, "That's fine, but it feels like if we replace our armor with steel frames, even if you're not melee fighters, it will increase our defense!"

Even if he now has an extra hourglass, allowing him to rewind time three times, and there's also Su Mu's resurrection.

But you can never have too many lives.

"The higher the defense, the better," Su Qingxuan shook her head and said, "This isn't enough; I don't really need it!"

Su Mu said, "I don't need it either!"

Jiang Youchu shook her head and said, "I don't need it either!"

"I have a body of steel, so this thing is of little use to me," Shen Wen said, since his body of steel already provides immunity to bronze-level physical defense.

This steel frame is merely icing on the cake.

"Let's exchange four books first: Lydia, Qingxuan, Youchu, and Sumu. You guys need to prepare to advance your ranks. If there are any abilities that can increase physical constitution later, we can give them to Shuiyao."

Shen Wen didn't discuss it and exchanged it directly. Even if there were other things, there was no need for them. Silver-level abilities were much more important than the others.

Each of the four women received a copy; only by staying alive can one produce results.

Bai Shuiyao said, "I don't care."

The main problem is that she hasn't made any contributions yet, and the previous deal was just to get her on board. Shen Wen already possessed abilities that were no less than those inherited from their family.

It helped her curb the problem that had been bothering her for so many years.

I can't ask for too much myself, and even if I do, I have to make a contribution first.

The four women took the ability book and opened it.

After a while.

The four women's skin had a faint metallic sheen that disappeared beneath the skin in the blink of an eye.

"My skin feels much thicker." Jiang Youchu reached out and poked her arm, feeling a hard, gritty sensation under her fingertips.

Su Qingxuan moved her wrists, feeling the resilience surging from deep within her skin.

Lydia looked down at her hands and whispered, "They do seem... a bit stronger."

Su Mu didn't speak, but clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking softly. Then he turned to Shen Wen and said expressionlessly, "Now, except for Shui Yao, we're all made of steel."

Shen Wen chuckled.

"My physique is much better than yours," Bai Shuiyao muttered.

Hearing these simple-minded words, Shen Wen thought, "How can someone be so competitive?"

Let's turn our attention back to the redemption panel.

The remaining points balance is 15,600.

He clicked on the bronze level, and the screen refreshed.

Weapons, armor, ability books, and items are on display in abundance, with prices ranging from several hundred to several thousand.

Shen Wen glanced at it once, then turned it off.

Useless.

Bronze-level items no longer hold much appeal for him.

Even if you take it, it'll just gather dust in the storage room, or you can wait for the salesperson to come and sell it for money.

"Um?"

His fingers paused for a moment, his gaze fixed on the bottom of the shelf.

It was a cluster of light from a facility, huddled in a corner. The icon depicted an egg with a cracked shell, as if something was about to crawl out.

Shen Wen opened the message.

[Giant Beast Hatching Nest (Bronze-level Facility): Place a giant beast egg or cub inside; hatching speed increased by 200%. Animals hatched from this facility will be twice the size of a normal animal. Exchange: 3000]

"This is interesting." Shen Wen stroked his chin.

The behemoth, twice the size of its predecessor, was intimidating just by standing there.

Three thousand points, not expensive.

He clicked "redeem".

The ball of light landed on the carriage floor. Shen Wen was preparing to take it to the fourth carriage to install it when the train's public address system suddenly went off.

This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Train Survival: I Can Get a Treasure Chest by Sticking to My Goddess":

[The facilities "All-Spirit Breeding Ground (Silver Grade)," "Fallen Spider Nest (Silver Grade)," and "Giant Beast Hatching Nest (Bronze Grade)" have been detected and are ready for fusion. The fusion will create a new integrated facility. Fuse?]

Shen Wen raised an eyebrow.

I was just wondering what to do when all the facilities were almost full, and here it is.

Three become one, a huge profit.

He clicked "confirm".

Three orbs of light floated up from different directions in the carriage, hovering in mid-air and approaching each other.

The light intertwined and merged, like three different colors of paint poured into the same cup, stirring, churning, and settling.

Ten seconds later, the light faded.

A brand new ball of light landed on the ground, larger than the previous three combined.

Shen Wen reached out and opened the message, which contained the original abilities of [All Spirits Breeding Ground], [Fallen Spider Nest], and [Giant Beast Hatching Nest].

It has an extra effect, and it looks pretty good.

【Wanling Breeding Farm (Silver-level Facility)】

……

……

[Effect 4: When the train is attacked, the creatures in the enclosure will spontaneously defend themselves. The train conductor can directly open the enclosure gate and bring the creatures inside, provided they are within 500 meters of the train.]

Shen Wen stared at Effect 4 for two seconds, and a slow smile spread across his face.

Previously, catching those armored bull calves required dragging them back one by one by spiders, which was time-consuming and laborious. Now, it's much better; we can just open the door from the outside and stuff them in, like shopping in a supermarket.

He then discovered an item that resembled the "Kingdom Medal".

It's called the "Imperial Token".

[Imperial Token (Bronze-tier Item): Allows you to enter the "Qin Empire" platform once. Platform type is random. Remaining uses: 1/1.]

Shen Wen glanced at it and then ignored it.

The anchor gate has already anchored the battlefield of giant beasts. The Great Qin Empire is the world of Bai Shuiyao. You can go there anytime you want, so there's no need to waste money on this.

He flipped through the bronze files again.

[Brilliant Bronze Spirit Potion: Spirit +50. Price: 4000.]

[Bronze Spirit Potion: Spirit +20. Price: 2000.]

Three bottles of Brilliant Bronze Spirit Potion, 12,000 points gone.

There is 1,600 left.

【Beast God Flower (Bronze-tier Item): Can be planted in the breeding farm, increasing the growth rate of organisms by 100%, and has a certain probability of causing beneficial mutations in organisms. Price: 1500.】

Shen Wen glanced at it and bought it immediately.

I've seen this before in the Beast Battlefield. It can accelerate animal development and has a remarkable effect on the cubs in the breeding farm.

One hundred remain.

He glanced at it and bought all the bottles of water, figuring he could keep them for drinking anyway.

The points are reduced to zero.

The redemption panel will close automatically.

Shen Wen clapped his hands and turned to look at the five women.

"Alright, everything's taken care of."

If you're bored, you can go to the training grounds in Rome. You can revive after dying, so it's a good opportunity to practice your new abilities.

He stretched, and his joints cracked a series of sounds.

"I'm going to rest now."

To be honest, he was really tired.

The battle against the giant beasts went on non-stop. After killing the giant beasts, they killed the beast tide, and after killing the beast tide, they killed the Zhu Yan. When they came back, Su Mu and Su Qingxuan were in the bathroom and in the bedroom for more than half an hour.

In the afternoon, I sparred with Bai Shuiyao at the training ground for more than two hours, dying three times in the process.

Although there is no physical pain during training, the mental strain is real.

He's not made of iron.

Shen Wen turned and walked towards the abundant bedroom. He pushed open the door and saw that the quilt on the large bed was still crumpled up, and the pillow still smelled of the women's hair.

He took off his shoes, flopped onto the bed, and sank into the soft mattress.

Comfortable.

My eyelids started to droop.

In a daze, he felt the door being pushed open and someone walking in, moving very quietly.

Then the mattress sank slightly, and a warm body pressed against him, leaning against him, with long hair scattered on the pillow, carrying a faint scent of soap.

Shen Wen didn't open his eyes, but subconsciously reached out and pulled the person into his arms.

The body stiffened for a moment, then slowly relaxed, burying its face in his chest, its breathing light and long.

Shen Wen rested his chin on the top of the other person's head and nuzzled against him. Sleepiness washed over him like a tide, engulfing him completely.
