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

Remember this name: . Remember this domain name: . Good books won't lead you astray.

Su Qingxuan's gaze fell on the pile of things, and she quickly scanned it.

"Attribute potions, eight bottles in total for constitution." She counted, "No spirit potions."

Three blueprints: a fine iron spear, a goblin scimitar, and a fine iron scimitar.

Two skill books: Fiery Blade, Frost Impact, Iron Skin, and Spirit Eye.

Shen Wen took out the two bronze badges and two cards from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Youchu.

Jiang Youchu said, "The Kingdom Medal, once used, allows you to enter a random platform called 'Griffin Kingdom,' and you can choose the platform type."

She picked up the two cards again: "Knight Sequence Guide. Using it will grant you a quest for a job advancement sequence, but it's much weaker than directly using a sequence item."

Shen Wen raised an eyebrow: "It seems that after this, some of the trains that have completed their missions will be put into sequence."

After all, not all trains went to the Green Forest; some went to other groups' platforms.

As long as the other trains cooperate, completing the task isn't too difficult.

Jiang Youchu rummaged through the pile of things and pulled out a packet of seeds from the bottom of the cloth bag.

"I almost forgot about this." She placed the seeds on the ground. "One packet each of bok choy, lettuce, tomatoes, and peppers."

They must have been found in the goblins' storage. They can be grown in our greenhouse.

Shen Wen's gaze fell on the pile of ability books.

"Distribute the ability books first." Shen Wen picked up the Bloodthirsty one. "I'll use this one."

He opened the ancient book, and a dark red light entered his brow. A violent surge of heat rose from his chest, which quickly subsided.

[Ability Mastered: Bloodlust (Iron Level)]

[Effect: Upon a successful attack, drains the target's health to restore the user's own. Healing effectiveness is scaled with damage dealt; the effect is halved against spirit-type creatures.]

Shen Wen glanced at the effect and picked up the sheet metal.

[Ability Mastered: Iron Skin (Black Iron Level)]

[Effect: Passively increases physical defense, resisting cuts and punctures from weapons below Black Iron grade. When actively activated, defense doubles for ten seconds; cooldown is one hour.]

After digesting the two skill books, Shen Wen felt that his skin had gained a subtle, almost imperceptible, elasticity, like an invisible film.

He handed the Frost Impact to Jiang Youchu: "You learn this."

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Youchu nodded, and a look of joy appeared on her face after using it. "Now I have control skills too."

This Frost Impact creates an instant ice pillar that knocks back and freezes the target.

Shen Wen handed over the Spirit Eye as well.

Jiang Youchu was taken aback: "Give it back to me?"

"You're a mage; your hit rate is more important than any of ours."

Shen Wen said, "This is reality, not a game with automatic enemy targeting."

Even mages need to aim accurately. It's just that aiming with your mind is naturally faster than aiming with your eyesight, but the Spirit Eye can increase vision and lock onto the target.

It has the greatest impact on Jiang Youchu's abilities.

Jiang Youchu did not refuse again and opened the ancient book.

This time there was no radiance, only a very faint silver ring deep in the depths of her pupils, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shen Wen nodded, his gaze falling on the Fiery Blade.

He took this one.

Su Mu already has a malevolent spirit attached to him, so he doesn't really need this.

As I opened the ancient book, a dark red flame entered my brow, and a scorching power surged in my palm, as if I were holding a piece of burning iron.

He reached out and gripped the knife, the heat flowing from his palm to the blade. A dark red sheen appeared on the surface of the scimitar, and a faint smell of burning filled the air.

[Ability mastered: Fiery Blade (Black Iron Grade)]

[Effect: Adds fire damage to the weapon, increasing damage against fleshy creatures by 30% and halving damage against spirit creatures.]

Shen Wen looked at Jiang Youchu and Su Qingxuan.

Jiang Youchu spoke first: "Sister Qingxuan, you should learn it. I specialize in ice magic, like ice arrows, frost impact, and ice armor. It's better to go to the extreme."

Su Qingxuan did not refuse and reached out to take the book of abilities that shimmered with electricity.

The ancient book transformed into a beam of blazing white light and entered her brow.

She closed her eyes and felt it for two seconds. When she opened them again, there was a leaping arc of electricity in her palm.

"Lightning Strike." She looked at the arc of electricity in her palm, "but it's a little different. In addition to the power of the Lightning Strike spell itself, it can also double the damage to spirits."

"Sequences can affect abilities? Then why haven't mine changed...?"

Shen Wen was speechless. "Heaven is unjust!"

The three women chuckled. Shen Wen now seemed more like their younger brother than the ruthless butcher he used to be.

He looked at the two dark red gems on the ground.

"How do you use this?"

Jiang Youchu picked one up, and a light screen popped up—

[Rage Gem (Black Iron Grade): Special material. Can be used directly, amplifying spell damage by 30% for 10 minutes; destroyed after use. Can also be used to craft stave-type weapons as a core socket.]

"It can be used directly, or it can be used as a staff." She put down the gem. "Using it directly would be too wasteful. Once we have the staff blueprint, we can inlay it and use it indefinitely."

Shen Wen put the two gems into the storage room, intending to use them when he could make a staff.

Suddenly.

Shen Wen paused for a moment, then looked at Su Mu somewhat embarrassed and said, "It seems like we can't use Sister Mu this time..."

Actually, both the Iron Skin Armor and the Bloodthirsty Su Mu can be used, but the function of the Iron Skin Armor and the Hundred Fiends Armor overlaps.

Bloodlust is more effective for him in close combat, but Su Mu is also a close combatant.

"It's nothing. You're stronger, so we're safer." Su Mu shook her head; she really didn't think it was a big deal.

If Shen Wen hadn't insisted, she thought it would have been fine to give the Hundred Fiends Armor to him.

"By the way, should we use the Knight Sequence Guide, Mumu? It's just a job change quest, it shouldn't be difficult for us."

Jiang Youchu suddenly said.

After all, Shen Wen and Su Mu are the only ones who can fight in close combat right now. Su Qingxuan already has a sequence, so she will definitely take the mage route.

It's impossible for him to abandon his current combat power and become a knight.

Please.

It's not like we're Gandalf. Mages should allocate all their stat points to Vitality and Strength. Mages should just be mages!

Shen Wen shook his head and said, "No need for now. Let's wait and see what we can get from this treasure chest. It would be best if we could get a sequence directly."

"Moreover, the knight class seems to be destined for misfortune."

"No... I think being a knight is great." Su Mu bit her lower lip. "I want to protect the people I want to protect."

As she said this, her gaze involuntarily fell on Shen Wen.

"Oh my~ Someone I want to protect~"

After Jiang Youchu finished reciting a sentence in a sarcastic tone, she shivered and said, "Good, good, good. I didn't expect Xiao Mumu to be able to say sweet words. It seems that kissing has enlightened her."

Su Mu glared at Jiang Youchu, "You big-breasted, brainless bastard! I'm doing all this for the team!"

"We'll see later; it's not too late to use it if there's no sequence in the treasure chest."

Shen Wen picked up the eight bottles of constitution-enhancing potion from the ground, walked to the metal box at the entrance of the storage room, and threw them in one by one.

The numbers on the screen jumped eight times, and the inventory of constitution potions increased from five to thirteen, while the inventory of spirit potions remained unchanged at four.

Jiang Youchu stretched, her wet hair still clinging to her neck. She raised her hand to brush it aside, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"I'll go cook!" She clapped her hands. "The kitchen is all set up but we haven't used it yet. There's still some spirit pork in the fridge. We haven't had a hot meal in days."

As she said this, her stomach growled, quite fittingly.

From the moment I was brought into this world until now, all I've eaten is canned food and bread—cold, hard, and chewy like bricks.

Su Qingxuan glanced at her and said in a flat tone, "I'll do it. You go and plant these seeds."

She rummaged through the packet of seeds and pulled out two packets of bok choy and lettuce, handing them over. "Keep the tomatoes and peppers for now; those grow slowly."

Jiang Youchu nodded repeatedly.

As she passed by Su Mu, she suddenly stopped and frowned.

"By the way, I just saw Fang Qianqian speak on the regional channel."

Shen Wen was inspecting the blade of his scimitar when he heard this and looked up: "Fang Qianqian?"

"Passengers on the Zhangyang train."

Jiang Youchu's voice turned serious. "Didn't Zhang Yang die before? One of the passengers was chosen to become the new train conductor, and that's her."

She tapped on the screen and shared the chat history of the regional channel with the three people.

There wasn't much news about her, but you could feel her fear and lingering dread even through the screen.

"Zhang Yang is no good person. The Black Iron-level evil spirit in his possession was obtained at the cost of the lives of two of his passengers."

He sent them to lure the spirits while he hid behind to collect them. The two men died, and he obtained the evil spirit.

"I survived because he needed someone to help him with chores."

But he did something disgusting to me. I won't say what it was, but you can probably guess.

"He previously said he wanted to deal with Shen Wen of D5612, not because of any grand strategy, but because he felt that Shen Wen was blocking his way."

He wanted to be the leader of everyone, but he was afraid of Shen Wen.

"Now that I'm the train conductor, I dare to say it. Before, I didn't dare because I knew he would find out and kill me."

The four messages were spaced about ten seconds apart.

The carriage was quiet for a few seconds.

Jiang Youchu turned off the light screen, held the seed, and whispered, "I was wondering before why Zhang Yang, a mayor, was biting us like a mad dog."

So that's where the problem lies.

Su Qingxuan leaned against the carriage wall, her expression not changing much, only her brows furrowed slightly: "Using the lives of your own passengers to exchange for props, and still doing that kind of thing to living people."

It's better that this kind of person is dead.

Su Mu didn't speak, but gripped the scimitar tightly for a moment, then loosened his grip.

Shen Wen sheathed his scimitar and shook his head: "A clown. He's been on four platforms already, and he still hasn't caught up."

"There is no mayor here, no civilians, only the living and the dead."

He thought that by forming cliques, he could become a local tyrant and use others as pawns.

Even if we don't kill this kind of person, he'll eventually be stabbed to death by his own people.

Shen Wen was cautious before because he was worried that these people might have some special talents.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang, who had no fighting talent whatsoever, dared to be so arrogant.

The voice just fell.

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

[Multiple trains have been detected to have fewer than four passengers each. The system will replenish the number of passengers and randomly assign new passengers to various trains.]

[Completion Rules: Each train will be replenished to a maximum of four passengers. New passengers will be randomly assigned, possibly from the real world or from other trains that are not yet full.]

[Completion Rules: Each train will be replenished to a maximum of four passengers. New passengers will be randomly assigned, possibly from the real world or from other trains that are not yet full.]

[Completion time: Before arriving at the next platform.]
