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

Shen Wen reached out and took it.

The moment my fingers touched the hilt of the knife, a strange sensation surged up.

It's as if this knife was meant to be in his hands.

He gripped the hilt of the knife and gave it a light swing.

The blade sliced ​​through the air, producing a faint whistling sound.

Shen Wen looked at Su Mu and said earnestly, "Thank you."

Su Mu turned her face away, "This was originally yours..."

Jiang Youchu watched from the side, her expression subtle.

Su Qingxuan coughed lightly, breaking the delicate atmosphere: "There's also the evil spirit consecration potion and the mental potion. Give the evil spirit consecration potion to Xiao Mu, and give her the mental potion too."

She looked at Su Mu: "You're a melee fighter, so the 'evil aura' can increase your damage and save your life in crucial moments. Here's a spirit potion for you; it'll help you recover faster."

Su Mu nodded, without refusing.

Shen Wen handed her the yellowed ancient book, and then handed her the pale purple potion.

Su Mu took it, unscrewed the medicine, tilted his head back, and drank it down.

[Use Attribute Potion - Spirit (Black Iron Grade), Spirit +10]

[Current Spirit Level: 7→17]

She closed her eyes and sensed for two seconds, then opened the ancient book.

The ancient book transformed into light and entered her brow.

[Learning Ability: Bronze Level]

[Effect: Consumes sanity points to imbue the weapon with malevolent energy, increasing damage by 30%, and can damage spirits.]

Su Mu opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, and a faint layer of gray-black mist appeared in his palm.

The mist swirled around her fingertips, exuding an indescribable chill.

She gripped the spear tightly, and the mist spread to the tip, giving the entire spear a dark, gloomy sheen.

Jiang Youchu leaned closer, staring at the layer of mist, and shivered: "This thing... looks really creepy."

Su Mu dispersed the mist and nodded: "It consumes sanity points, one point per minute. Turn it on during battle, and turn it off during other times."

Shen Wen looked at her, then suddenly remembered something.

He brought up the talent panel.

【Goddess Treasure Chest (Unique)】

[Currently bound to: Su Mu]

[Daily reward: 2 treasure chests (Bronze level)]

[Intimate Contact Progress: 0/100]

[Currently bindable objects: 1/1 → Bindable objects: 1/2]

[Hint: Talent upgraded, can now be bound to a second goddess]

Shen Wen was stunned for a moment.

He raised his head and looked at the three women.

"My talent..." he paused, "...allows me to bind to another person."

The carriage was silent for a second.

Jiang Youchu blinked, her gaze sweeping over Su Mu's face before turning to Su Qingxuan.

Su Qingxuan remained calm, revealing nothing.

Su Mu lowered her eyelashes and remained silent.

Shen Wen scratched his head: "Who should I tie up?"

Just as Jiang Youchu was about to raise her hand, Su Qingxuan spoke up.

"Just tie me up."

Jiang Youchu's hand froze in mid-air, her expression stiffening for a second before she glared fiercely at Su Qingxuan: "You two sisters are both possessive of your food, aren't you?!"

Su Qingxuan ignored her, her gaze falling on Shen Wen, her expression as calm as if they were discussing what to eat today.

Before Shen Wen could react, Su Qingxuan had already taken a step forward, reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, pulling him into her embrace.

The warmth of her body emanated through the thin fabric, carrying a faint, sweet fragrance.

Shen Wen froze for a moment.

Su Qingxuan was exactly the same height as him.

Her face was pressed against his neck, her breath gently brushing against his skin, causing a slight tickle.

Shen Wen subconsciously swallowed.

The soft touch in his arms was mixed with some indescribable scent that belonged to Su Qingxuan.

It wasn't perfume, but a lighter scent, like a mixture of soap and sunshine.

His heart skipped a beat.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Su Mu standing not far away, her eyelashes lowered, her face expressionless, but the corners of her mouth tightened slightly for a moment.

Then she turned her face away and looked out the window.

Jiang Youchu squatted in the corner, resting her chin on her hands, her expression resentful: "When will it be my turn...?"

Shen Wen didn't have time to pay attention to her.

His attention was entirely focused on his arms.

Su Qingxuan hugged him tightly, unlike Su Mu who was stiff and nervous. Instead, she was relaxed and showed the kind of tolerance and care that an older sister has.

But there was something about this composure that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

It's like something is hidden beneath a calm surface of water.

Shen Wen took a deep breath, suppressing his restlessness, and decided to read as quickly as possible, always one chapter ahead of others. He then brought up the system panel.

[Target: Su Qingxuan]

[Charm Rating: 97 points (Bronze)]

Current favorability level: 92 (Bronze)

[Binding successful!]

[Daily reward: 2 treasure chests (Bronze level)]

【亲密接触进度：0\/100……12\/100……25\/100……】

The progress bar is jumping very fast.

The intimacy of a hug far exceeds that of holding hands; it's almost a whirlwind of activity every second.

Five minutes later...

[Intimate contact progress is full! Current total attempts: 1/3, accumulate 3 more to upgrade the treasure chest level!]

Today's available treasure chests: 2/2 (Bronze level)

Shen Wen's muffled voice came from Su Qingxuan's shoulder: "Sister, that's enough."

Su Qingxuan released him, her expression unchanged, showing no emotion on her face.

She took a step back, raised her hand to gather her loose long hair, and looked at Shen Wen: "It's open."

Shen Wen took a deep breath, suppressed the subtle feeling, and opened the treasure chest.

The first bronze treasure chest is opened—

[Obtained: Skill Book - Frostbolt (Iron Grade)]

[Obtained: 50 kg of metal]

[Obtained: Soul-Eating Doll (Iron Grade)]

Three beams of light flashed on the screen.

An ancient book with a faint, icy blue glow floated in the air, next to a pile of neatly stacked metal ingots and a palm-sized rag doll.

The doll was crudely made, sewn from cotton cloth, with button eyes and a strange smile embroidered in red thread at the corner of its mouth.

Shen Wen reached out and opened the message.

Shen Wen reached out and opened the message.

[Skill Book - Frostbolt (Iron Grade)]

[Effect: Consumes Spirit Points to gather Frost Power and create arrows for ranged attacks. The higher the Spirit Points, the greater the power and the longer the range.]

[Learning Method: Direct Application]

【Soul-Eating Doll (Iron Grade)】

[Effect: Can actively devour spirit creatures of the Decaying Wood level and below; when attacked by Black Iron level spirits, it can deploy a defensive barrier that can completely withstand 3 attacks. It will be destroyed after 3 attacks!]

Shen Wen looked at the second treasure chest.

[Obtained: Spatial Backpack (Iron Grade)]

[Obtained: Attribute Potion - Spirit (Black Iron Grade): Increases Spirit attribute by 10 after drinking]

Another flash of light appeared.

A palm-sized canvas backpack floated in the light screen, next to a bottle of pale purple potion.

【Space Backpack (Iron Grade)】

[Effect: Contains a 1×1×1 meter independent storage space, suitable for storing inanimate objects. Access can be controlled by thought, making it convenient and quick.]

[Note: Time stands still within this space; items will not spoil or decay.]

Shen Wen shared the information with the three of them.

Su Qingxuan quickly scanned the book, her gaze falling on the book "Frost Arrow" and the bottle of mental potion, before looking at Jiang Youchu.

"These two are for you."

Jiang Youchu was taken aback for a moment, then waved her hand: "Sis, this thing is an ability book, it's better if you use it—"

"I don't need it," Su Qingxuan interrupted her. "Logistics doesn't need combat power."

"That's the decision."

Jiang Youchu opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately swallowed it back.

Su Qingxuan then looked at the two black iron-grade items: "I'll take the Soul Devouring Doll and the Space Backpack. I'll be in charge of logistics. Water, bullets, matches, and other such items need to be brought along."

She reached out and took the book on the Frost Arrow ability and the potion, handing them to Jiang Youchu.

Jiang Youchu took it, unscrewed the potion and poured it down her throat, then opened the ancient book.

The ancient book transformed into an icy blue light and entered her brow.

[Learning Ability: Frostbolt (Black Iron Tier)]

[Effect: Consumes Spirit Points to gather Frost Power for a ranged attack. Current Spirit Points allow for 15 consecutive uses.]

Jiang Youchu closed her eyes and sensed it for two seconds. When she opened her eyes again, a hint of excitement flashed in them.

She stretched out her hand, and a translucent, ice-blue arrow appeared in her palm, surrounded by a chilling aura that lowered the surrounding temperature by several degrees.

"That's fun!" she grinned.

Su Mu glanced at her, said nothing, and then looked at Shen Wen before quickly looking away.

What was Shen Wenzheng about to say?

A mechanical voice simultaneously rang in the minds of the four people.

[We are approaching a platform junction. Train conductor, please select the direction of travel.]
