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

Shen Wen nodded and decided to exchange it anyway.

Jiang Youchu was right. The sooner you exchange for this item, the greater its effect will be. Moreover, they had already witnessed the strength of the Cave Spider.

Although he could kill them with a single blow, he could also clear out the minions.

Two thousand points were deducted from my account.

The fist-sized, dark red egg sac appeared in the carriage. Its surface was covered with fine black lines, and something inside was wriggling, beating slightly like a heartbeat.

"Once the train is upgraded to level five, it will have an extra carriage, which will be used to carry this thing."

He put the egg sac into the storage room and glanced at the remaining points.

One thousand seven hundred and eighty.

Su Qingxuan leaned over and glanced at his panel, then looked at her own: "My sequence tokens are about the same, but my equipment and ability books are different, and I don't have any bronze-level ones."

"It seems the system thinks our points aren't high enough for the Bronze level."

Jiang Youchu also peeked at her exchange list and pouted, "Not even a trace of bronze, the highest is only iron. They're discriminating against us."

Su Mu didn't speak, but her expression was similar.

Shen Wen pondered for two seconds: "Then let's switch to ability books, focusing on ability books."

The three women nodded.

"The rest will be replaced with wood, metal, and machine parts," he added. "Our basic resources are running low, so we need to replenish them."

The three women nodded again and each opened the exchange panel to begin the process.

Su Mu first exchanged two black iron ability books.

One book on "Shield Mastery" and one book on "Warrior Charge".

The former enhances the shield's blocking efficiency, while the latter is a kind of movement ability. Combined with Su Mu's Swift Step, the speed can be even greater.

The remaining points were exchanged for wood and metal. The numbers on the screen jumped a few times, and the inventory in the storage room increased significantly.

Su Qingxuan also changed two books.

[Mind control] and [physical entanglement]

The former, combined with charm, allows her to attempt to control some creatures with low mental strength.

The latter is a control skill that uses sanity to create limbs to entangle the target.

The remaining points were also exchanged for basic resources.

Jiang Youchu made the most satisfying trade, acquiring two ice-type ability books directly: [Ice Explosion] and [Cold Light Protection].

One is a single-target burst skill, and the other is a survival skill.

The remaining points were exchanged for wood and metal, and an extra set of mechanical parts was also exchanged.

What's a little hellish is that Lydia said these two abilities were previously possessed by Dipsy.

Shen Wen pondered his remaining 1,780 points.

He first spent a thousand to exchange for a space crystal.

The train upgrade will require this; we'll need it sooner or later.

I spent another 400 to exchange for one Thunder Stone and one Spirit Stone, as I needed to upgrade the wheels and chassis.

The remaining 380 points were all exchanged for wood, metal, and mechanical parts; not a single point was kept.

Once you run out of points, the redemption panel will disappear.

Shen Wen stretched his shoulders and looked down at his clothes.

It was covered in bloodstains, bodily fluids, and mucus, all mixed together and forming a hard crust that smelled nauseating.

"Let's deal with the items in the spatial backpack first, in batches."

He tugged at his collar, the fabric making a dry, rustling sound.

"I'm going to take a shower first. After I shower, I'll upgrade the carriage and turn Lydia into a passenger."

The four women nodded.

Shen Wen turned and walked towards the multi-functional bathroom.

The bathroom was small, with silver-white metal walls and a non-slip textured floor.

Hot water sprayed out from the showerhead at the top, and steam quickly filled the entire space.

He took off his shirt and just unbuttoned his pants—

"Shen Wen, I'll come in for a moment..."

Su Mu's voice came from outside the door, muffled, as if she were speaking with her face close to the door.

If Shen Wen's physique hadn't reached level 100, giving him hearing far beyond that of ordinary people, he wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.

Shen Wen was stunned for a moment.

Need to use the restroom? There's a restroom right outside the bathroom, no need to come in.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

There was a two-second silence outside, then Su Mu's voice came through, even softer than before, as if she were talking to herself, or relaying someone else's words: "My sister said... to save water, she wants me to come in and shower with her."

"what?"

Shen Wen's hand stopped on his waistband.

Save water?

They just replaced several hundred liters of water with Cao Lin's; the reservoir is almost full.

When was there a water shortage?

But he realized what was happening the next moment.

This has nothing to do with water.

A helpful assist from my older sister?

He swallowed hard, his heart skipped a beat.

Outside the bathroom door, Su Mu stood there, clutching a change of clothes in her hand, her ears so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

She looked down at herself.

She was only wearing her underwear and a thin jacket over it. Hot steam seeped out from under the door, hitting her face and burning her cheeks.

She wanted to leave.

But my feet wouldn't obey me.

The bathroom door was opened halfway.

Shen Wen saw her through the crack in the door, and his gaze lingered on her for a moment.

White underwear, a patch of snow-white skin below the collarbone, hair casually clipped with hairpins, a few stray strands hanging down the side of the neck, damp with steam and clinging to the skin.

Su Mu slipped in, moving as fast as a thief.

The moment the door closed, steam billowed out again, enveloping the two in a white mist.

Shen Wen looked at her.

She stood there wearing only her underwear, her hands hanging at her sides, her fists clenched, her knuckles white.

Her face was flushed, the blush spreading from her cheeks to her neck, and even the snow-white skin on her chest was tinged with a faint pink.

The moisture on her eyelashes made her blink like a butterfly flapping its wings.

She didn't look at him, her eyelashes lowered, staring at the anti-slip pattern under her feet.

"My sister said..." she began, her voice barely audible, "to save water..."

Shen Wen didn't let her finish speaking.

He took a step forward, reached out and put his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.

The moment their lips touched, Su Mu's body stiffened for a second, then softened, her arms encircling his neck as she stood on tiptoe.

Hot water dripped from the showerhead, drenching the two of them, and the steam grew thicker and thicker.

Not long after, other sounds came from the bathroom.

The sound of water mingled with a kind of longer, more suppressed breathing, echoing between the silvery-white walls.

Su Qingxuan stood in the second carriage, rummaging through the things inside her spatial backpack.

His gaze kept drifting towards the bathroom.

Jiang Youchu squatted down next to the worktable, sorting out supplies.

He sorted and stacked the spoils he brought back from the Fallen Caverns, moving much faster than usual, as if trying to find something to do to distract himself from listening.

Lydia stood in the corner, clutching the priest's staff in her hand, her long silver hair hanging down her shoulders, her face buried low.

She didn't know what had happened, but the subtle atmosphere in the air made her afraid to look up.

A very soft, muffled sound, like someone being covered with their mouth, came from the direction of the bathroom.

Jiang Youchu paused for a moment, then continued stacking supplies, this time even faster.

Su Qingxuan finally couldn't help but speak, her tone as calm as if she were saying that the weather was nice today: "Youchu."

"Hmm." Jiang Youchu didn't look up.

"Go and dismember the corpses of those fallen elves."

"oh."

Jiang Youchu stood up, took two steps, then stopped, turned back to look at Su Qingxuan, her expression quite interesting.

"Sister Qingxuan, you're sending lambs to the slaughter."

Su Qingxuan glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Jiang Youchu took a deep breath, as if she had finally found the words she had been holding back for a long time: "Even if you're going to give it to someone, it'll be to me!"

Sending your own sister to jail is no skill at all! Humph!

Both sisters are possessive of their food!

Su Qingxuan's lips twitched, but she didn't reply.

Jiang Youchu stormed off, her footsteps making a loud thud.

Lydia, standing in the corner, finally couldn't help but look up and ask in a low voice, "Um... Miss Su Mu and Mr. Shen Wen... are they...?"

"I'm taking a shower," Su Qingxuan said calmly. "To save water."

Lydia opened her mouth, wanting to say that they didn't lack water, but seeing Su Qingxuan's expression, she swallowed her words.

She lowered her head, gripped her staff tightly, and asked no more questions.

About half an hour later, the bathroom door opened.

Steam seeped out from the cracks in the door and permeated the main carriage.

Su Mu came out first, her hair still wet, wrapped in a towel, and changed into clean clothes.

A white T-shirt and dark trousers, the clothes were a bit loose, but the neckline still couldn't hide the faint red marks on her collarbone.

She lowered her head and walked quickly toward the second carriage, pausing briefly as she passed Su Qingxuan.

Su Qingxuan looked at her without saying anything.

Su Mu's ears turned bright red, her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing and quickened her pace to walk away.

However, his walking movements were somewhat awkward.

Shen Wen came out of the bathroom with her hair still wet. She changed into a clean black T-shirt and trousers, and looked much more refreshed.

He also had several red marks on his neck, which were more noticeable than those on Su Mu's neck.

"Go take a shower first, I'll take care of it."

The pent-up frustration from the battle in the Fallen Cave had long since disappeared thanks to Su Mu's comforting words.

really.

Exercise is beneficial to mental health.
