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

Shen Wen opened the first bronze treasure chest.

A flash of light appeared, and several items appeared in the carriage.

A bottle of pale gold potion, a card gleaming with silver light, plus a pile of wood, metal, and mechanical parts.

[Received: 300 kg of timber]

[Obtained: 200 kg of metal]

[Received: 50 kg of mechanical parts]

[Bronze Constitution Potion: Constitution +20, must be below 50 Constitution to use, ineffective above 50 Constitution.]

[Module Upgrade Card: Upgrades a Black Iron module to Bronze level.]

Shen Wen raised an eyebrow and clicked on the second one.

Another set of basic resources, a bunch of sparkling stones, plus 20 points of free attributes, a yellowish blueprint, and a milky white card.

[Received: 200 kg of timber]

[Obtained: 300 kg of metal]

[Received: 50 kg of mechanical parts]

[Gained: 20 Free Attribute Points]

[Received: 10 kg of Star Stone]

[Blueprint - Constitution Potion: Can be used to craft Black Iron grade Constitution Potion.]

[Talent Upgrade Card: Can upgrade talents, but cannot be applied to unique-level talents.]

The carriage was silent for a moment.

Jiang Youchu leaned closer, her eyes shining as she stared at the pale golden potion: "A bronze-level physique potion? Adds twenty points?"

Su Qingxuan also walked over, her gaze falling on the bottle of potion. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "This potion has restrictions; it can only be used by those with a constitution of fifty or below."

"How about we draw lots?" Shen Wen frowned, after all, there was only one bottle.

Su Qingxuan shook her head. "Give it to Su Mu. Su Mu is a melee fighter, and her physique is more important to her than any of us."

Jiang Youchu nodded in agreement: "That's right. One of us will draw the talisman and the other will release the ice. We'll stand in the back row. As long as our physique is strong enough, that's fine."

You're the one who has to carry the load at the front.

Su Mu's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just gave a soft "hmm".

She took the medicine, unscrewed the cap, tilted her head back, and poured it down.

The pale golden liquid entered my throat, and warmth rose from my stomach, spreading to my limbs and bones.

Su Mu clenched his fist, and there was even a gust of wind from it.

"What's your physical condition?" Shen Wen asked.

Su Mu glanced at the panel: "Increase from nineteen to thirty-nine."

"It's a pity there's only one bottle..." Jiang Youchu shook her head, after all, this is a direct 20-point physique.

Su Qingxuan rolled her eyes at Jiang Youchu, "This has already allowed us to overtake passengers from many other trains."

"Hehe, I was just saying."

"What about the talent upgrade card?" Jiang Youchu pointed to the milky white card.

Shen Wen picked it up, and a message popped up on the screen.

[Talent Upgrade Card: Upgrades any non-unique level talent. The talent's effect will be enhanced upon use.]

He hesitated for two seconds, then looked at Su Qingxuan: "Sister Qingxuan, this is for you."

Su Qingxuan was taken aback: "For me?"

"Your predictions of good or bad fortune," Shen Wen said, handing over the card. "After the upgrade, it might not just show good or bad fortune anymore. It might show resource types, or it might show specific dangers. It will be of the greatest help to us in choosing a platform."

Jiang Youchu nodded: "That makes sense."

Su Mu nodded as well.

Su Qingxuan accepted the card without further hesitation.

A milky white light entered her brow. She closed her eyes and felt it for a few seconds. When she opened them again, there was a faint golden halo around her eyes.

"The fortune-telling system has been upgraded." There was a subtle tinge in her tone. "Now we can see not only the fortune level, but also the core output type of the platform."

Shen Wen raised an eyebrow: "For example?"

Su Qingxuan opened the system panel and shared it with the three people.

[Auspiciousness/Inauspiciousness: Determines the auspiciousness/inauspiciousness level of a platform, and displays its core output type (e.g., weapons, medicine, food, special materials, etc.).]

"Hmm? This does resemble a compass rose somewhat."

Shen Wen spoke up.

The upgrade was even more significant than he had anticipated.

Finally, there's the module upgrade card.

Shen Wen picked it up and scanned the three modules with his eyes.

Weather forecast. Dock delay. Salesperson.

"Forget about the weather forecast." He stroked his chin. "It's not very useful. Knowing in advance whether it will rain or snow is just a way to prepare mentally."

Su Qingxuan nodded: "Upgrade the docking delay. The longer the docking time, the more relaxed we can be in handling things."

Without hesitation, Shen Wen pressed the card onto the docking delay module.

A flash of silver light, and the card transformed into a speck of light that merged into the module.

[Dock Delay (Iron Tier) → Dock Delay (Bronze Tier)]

[Effect Change: Each station can be used once, extending the stop time by 4 hours.]

Additionally, any remaining time after each stop will accumulate for use at the next station. Accumulation limit: 24 hours.

Jiang Youchu was the first to react: "Wait, can the remaining time be saved up?"

Su Qingxuan was also taken aback for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "So, if we finish exploring this stop ahead of schedule, we can save the remaining time for the next stop?"

Shen Wen nodded: "The cumulative limit is 24 hours. With the four-hour delay at each platform, we could even stay at one platform for a whole day."

Su Mu said softly, "Then we won't have to be chased by time every time."

Shen Wen closed the panel and continued, "My talent has also been upgraded."

The three women looked at him at the same time.

"Now I can bind three people." Shen Wen shared the panel.

Jiang Youchu froze for a second, then her eyes lit up like light bulbs, and she sprang up from the ground.

"Finally, it's my turn!"

She stood with her hands on her hips, her anime T-shirt stretched taut across her chest, and her baby face was filled with an expression that said, "I've been waiting forever."

"Although you should chat with me more, you should stay in the corner of the wood."

Then they'll increase my favorability, occasionally give me gifts, and have special interactions with me on special holidays.

Finally, during some mysterious event, he confessed his feelings to me, and I agreed to be with him. I'll show you my special CG next time—"

She took a deep breath and spoke rapidly, like a machine gun.

"But now, when it comes to survival, we have to keep things simple for now."

Before she finished speaking, she had already opened her arms and lunged at Shen Wen.

Before Shen Wen could react, a warm body crashed into his arms.

A soft touch came from my chest, the pressure so intense it made it hard to breathe.

Shen Wen's mind went blank for a moment.

He had seen Jiang Youchu's figure before; he had caught a glimpse of her when she took off her clothes and knew she was quite well-endowed.

But seeing something with your own eyes and experiencing it firsthand are two completely different things.

Su Mu has the most well-proportioned figure, with everything she should have, and the proportions are just right.

Su Qingxuan is tall and has a mature, sophisticated figure with a curvaceous body, but her proportions don't appear exaggerated.

But Jiang Youchu is different.

She wasn't very tall, only reaching Shen Wen's chin, but the imposing presence she exuded was clearly felt even through her clothes.

Like two soft masses compressed to their limit, they clung tightly to his chest, and with each breath he could feel their amazing elasticity and weight.

Shen Wen's hand froze in mid-air, unsure of where to put it.

A faint milky scent wafted into her nostrils. It wasn't perfume; it was her own natural body fragrance, mixed with her body heat, seeping through the thin fabric of her clothes.

Jiang Youchu buried her face in his neck, wrapped her arms around his waist, and hugged him tightly.

Her breathing was a little unsteady and her heart was beating fast, but she showed no sign of letting go.

"It's finally my turn."

Her voice was muffled in the crook of his shoulder, carrying a hint of triumphant laughter and a little bit of barely concealed nervousness.

Su Mu stood to the side, watching this scene, pursed her lips, and turned her face away.

Su Qingxuan remained calm, only her lips curved slightly.

The carriage was quiet for a few seconds.

Jiang Youchu finally let go, took a step back, raised her hand to tidy her hair, her ear tips were red, but her face still had that carefree expression.

"Alright, alright, stop standing there, let's open the box!"

Two treasure chests appeared in front of Shen Wen.

[Received: 300 kg of timber]

[Obtained: 200 kg of metal]

[Obtained: Space Crystal]

[Bronze Spirit Potion: Spirit +20, requires Spirit 50 or below to use, ineffective above Spirit 50.]

[Crafting Blueprint - M4A1 (Iron Grade): Can be used to craft the Iron Grade M4A1 rifle.]

[Space Pocket (Bronze Level): Contains 100 cubic meters of independent storage space, capable of storing non-living items.]

Shen Wen looked at Jiang Youchu and Su Qingxuan and asked, "Who will drink this medicine?"

The increase in spirit did not significantly improve his combat power, but it greatly enhanced Su Qingxuan and Jiang Youchu.

Although sanity is always 100, the higher the spirit, the stronger the spell, and the less sanity is required.

To give an analogy, 10 points of spirit might consume 2 points, but 20 points of spirit might only consume 1 point, and the power would increase.

Su Qingxuan said, "Give this to Youchu. My spirit has increased by fifteen points from controlling the evil spirit and the Blood Bride."

Jiang Youchu did not refuse, took the medicine, unscrewed the cap, and poured it down her throat.

Shen Wen then picked up the dark red ability book.

Blood Blade.

Extracting blood from corpses to condense sword energy allows for ranged attacks; killing enemies further enhances its power.

This is the thing that suits him best.

Turning the pages of the ancient book, a dark red light entered between his brows.

[Ability mastered: Blood Blade (Bronze level)]

Shen Wen sheathed his knife and his gaze fell on the two bags.

The space pocket, one hundred cubic meters, is many times larger than the previous one.

"Youchu, take this." Shen Wen handed over the bag. "You and Qingxuan are on a long-distance route, so it's suitable for you to carry supplies."

"Sister Qingxuan needs to control her spirit body; having too many things is inconvenient."

Jiang Youchu took it, carried it on her back, and patted it: "Okay."

Shen Wen walked to the worktable and clicked to collect the remaining two blueprints.

The Blueprint for Attribute Constitution Potion (Black Iron Grade) has been added. Required Materials: 10 Black Iron Grade Flesh

【蓝图·M4A1（黑铁级）已收录。所需材料：金属20公斤，机械零件10公斤，木材5公斤。】

[Blueprint for Staff (Black Iron Grade) has been added. Required materials: 10 kg of metal, 1 spell material, 3 kg of wood.]

Su Qingxuan's eyes lit up as she looked at the materials list: "Black Iron grade flesh and blood...don't we have spirit pork on hand? Would that work?"

Jiang Youchu paused for a moment, then ran to the refrigerator, rummaged through it, and took out a piece of spirit pork, placing it on the worktable.

A notification popped up on the screen: [Detected 1 piece of Black Iron-grade Flesh, which can be used to craft an attribute-enhancing potion.]

"It really is!" Jiang Youchu called out, turning around. "Spirit meat is considered Black Iron-grade flesh!"

Su Qingxuan's lips curled up: "Then we can make a fortune just by selling medicine in the future."

She counted on her fingers: "Berserk potions, attribute potions, and various medical supplies. Berserk potions and attribute potions, in particular, are hard currency."

Shen Wen nodded: "We don't have much of the polluted serum needed for the berserker agent, but there are people selling it. We have the materials for the attribute potions ourselves."

He paused for a moment, then said, "It seems that from now on, we'll have to bring back any Black Iron-level flesh and blood we encounter."

The three women nodded.

Su Mu suddenly spoke up: "You Chu doesn't have a sequence yet."

Jiang Youchu chuckled: "It's alright, there's the arcane mage's sequence guidance, isn't there?"

This was their original plan.
