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

The vicissitudes of life speak volumes about the righteous path in the world: Read this book!

After learning about Steel Body.

Shen Wen continued studying the slaughterhouse. He gripped the butcher knife and casually swung it twice, the blade drawing two arcs in the air as lightly as waving a feather.

It makes almost no wind when you wave it; it's unbelievably quiet.

Bronze-grade weapons are more than one level stronger than Iron-grade weapons.

"A fine sword." Shen Wen sheathed his sword.

Su Qingxuan stood up, raised her hand to smooth her hair, and walked over.

"It's my turn."

Before Shen Wen could react, Su Qingxuan had already reached out and cupped his face, stood on tiptoe, and pressed her lips to his.

It wasn't the kind of fleeting, superficial touch we had before.

This time, she kissed him forcefully.

Shen Wen felt a soft tongue probe into his mouth, carrying a faint fragrance, like some unknown flower.

His mind went blank for a moment.

Su Qingxuan's breath was hot, pressing against his face. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes were closed, and her expression was serious, as if she were doing something very important.

The fragrance grew stronger and stronger; it wasn't perfume, but her own body scent, mixed with her body heat, seeping through her thin loungewear.

The fire that Su Mu had stirred up in the bathroom hadn't completely died down yet, and it was reignited at this moment.

He reached out and put his arm around Su Qingxuan's waist, pulling her into his embrace.

Su Qingxuan's body pressed against hers, so soft it was unbelievable.

Su Mu stood to the side, arms crossed, watching the scene with a blank expression.

She remembered Su Qingxuan's sleep-talking words earlier—"Shen Wen, stop making a fuss, let your sister sleep a little longer."

At that time, she thought her sister was just half asleep.

But judging from the way her sister kissed Shen Wen now, it's not just out of formality.

They had clearly been eyeing it for a long time.

However, she was previously held back by her status as the older sister and was too embarrassed to make a move.

Now that I'm on this train for survival, without those worries, I've actually let go of those inhibitions.

Su Mu snorted, the sound not loud, but it was particularly clear in the quiet carriage.

Su Qingxuan ignored her and kissed her even deeper.

Lydia stood in the corner of the second carriage, her eyes wide, clutching the priest's staff in her hand.

She watched as Su Qingxuan cupped Shen Wen's face and kissed him, watched as Shen Wen's hands wrapped around Su Qingxuan's waist, and watched as the two of them pressed closer and closer together.

Her face turned red from the base of her neck upwards, as if scalded by boiling water, all the way to the ends of her hair.

Jiang Youchu squatted in front of the worktable, still holding the bottle of attribute potion in her hand. She turned her head to look at it, then turned back, then turned back again.

She muttered to herself, "How long has Sister Qingxuan been holding this in?

Lydia's voice was barely audible, like a mosquito's hum: "This, this..."

This was a huge shock to her. She hadn't seen the intimacy between Su Mu and Shen Wen before, but now she was seeing the intimacy between Shen Wen and Su Qingxuan.

She couldn't accept this. Although Hit had been a smooth talker, he knew her personality and had never actually laid a hand on her.

When the Delia sisters went out to fool around, they wouldn't take her along, so it could be said that although she had joined the Brilliant Adventurers.

But she didn't experience any of the adventurer's bad habits.

Jiang Youchu glanced at her and explained in a low voice, "Shen Wen's talent requires him to have close contact with girls in order to get the treasure chest."

Holding hands, hugging, and kissing all count. The closer the contact, the faster the progress.

She paused, then added, "We've tried holding hands and hugging before, now all we can do is kiss."

Lydia blinked and asked softly, "Then...then doesn't that mean..."

She didn't finish speaking, but her mind was already wandering.

If you've already tried holding hands, hugging, and kissing, what's the next step?

So, will it be her turn then?

She quickly shook her head, her long, silvery-white hair swaying, her face as red as a ripe apple.

A moment later, Su Qingxuan released Shen Wen.

She took a step back, raised her hand to tidy her disheveled hair, her movements somewhat hurried, a stark contrast to her usual calm and composed self.

Her face turned bright red, the blush spreading from the tips of her ears to her neck, even the patch of white skin below the neckline of her loungewear was tinged with a faint pink.

She coughed lightly, her voice still slightly hoarse: "I did it all for the team."

Shen Wen nodded repeatedly, the warmth of Su Qingxuan's lips still lingering on his lips: "I understand, I understand."

Su Qingxuan glared at him, but there was no harm in her eyes. Instead, there was a hint of coquettish charm that was hard to describe.

She turned around and pretended to organize the storage box, her steps much faster than usual.

Su Mu crossed her arms, staring blankly at her sister's retreating figure, then glanced at Shen Wen and snorted.

Shen Wenqian coughed, not daring to reply, and lowered his head to call up the system panel.

Two silver treasure chests floated in the light screen.

He clicked on the first one.

A flash of light.

[Received: Moon Crystal x1]

[Received: 500 kg of refined iron]

[Received: 1000 kg of timber]

[Obtained: 800 kg of metal]

[Obtained: Talent Upgrade Card (Bronze Level)]

[Obtained: Bronze-grade Spirit Potion x5]

Free attribute points: 50 (cannot exceed the limit)

[Obtained: Facility Upgrade Card (Silver)]

New piles of supplies appeared on the ground, with iron ingots stacked neatly and timber and metal piled up like small mountains.

A card gleaming with a silvery-white light floated in mid-air, next to a pale gold card, and next to that were five bottles of potions gleaming with a bronze luster.

Shen Wen opened the second treasure chest.

[Received: Obsidian x10]

[Received: Space Crystal x1]

[Received: 1000 kg of timber]

[Obtained: 800 kg of metal]

[Received: 300 kg of mechanical parts]

[Acquired: Facility - Constant Temperature Furnace (Bronze Grade)]

[Obtained: Ability Book - Summoning Gods (Silver Grade)]

[Obtained: Item - Book of Seals (Silver Grade)]

Another batch of basic resources appeared in the carriage.

Finally, a fist-sized ball of light landed, with the outline of a metal furnace vaguely visible inside;

An ancient book gleaming with a pale golden light; and a thick, jet-black book with intricate chain patterns engraved on its cover.

Shen Wen reached out and opened the message.

[Constant Temperature Furnace (Bronze-level Facility): Maintains a constant internal temperature within the train, keeping it within the optimal range for human comfort (20-26°C). It also possesses decomposition capabilities, capable of breaking down substances below bronze level into basic resources.]

【Ability Book - Summon God (Silver Tier): Consumes a large amount of sanity to summon a phantom of a god to descend and provide various amplifications to oneself.

The power is linked to the mental energy consumed; the higher the mental energy, the stronger the summoned phantom. The lowest level summonable phantom is Bronze, and the highest is Silver.

【Book of Seals (Silver-level Item): After use, all beings below the Silver level within a radius of 500 meters, except for the members of this train, will be unable to use any abilities.

Spiritual beings will be forced into visible form and will be unable to remain invisible or ethereal. Remaining uses: 3/3.

The carriage was silent for a moment.

Jiang Youchu leaned closer, staring at the sealed book, her eyes shining: "This thing... seals abilities? It can even make spirits manifest?"

"This can be used as a trump card."

Shen Wen looked at the Book of Forbidden Things, which represented his trump card for passing through the Silver-level platform three times without taking any damage.

In fact, this thing can be considered a powerful weapon in group battles.

"Invoking the gods... This is quite fitting for the Celestial Master sequence."

Shen Wen handed the book on summoning divine powers to Su Qingxuan: "Sister Qingxuan, you should learn this."

Su Qingxuan did not refuse and took the ancient book and opened it.

Su Qingxuan said, "It's become a summoning spell, capable of summoning all sorts of deities worshipped by the Celestial Master..."

"Various deities?"

Shen Wen was puzzled.

"Any deity existing within Taoism can be used to seek its power..."

Shen Wen couldn't help but ask, "Could we invite the Monkey King?"

Su Qingxuan bent her index finger and tapped Shen Wen on the head. "The Monkey King is fictional, and even if he exists, it's Buddhist."

Shen Wen said regretfully, "Then this is useless! It can't even summon the Monkey King."

Su Qingxuan rolled her eyes at Shen Wen, picked up the talent upgrade card, and looked at Jiang Youchu.

"Youchu, this is for you."

Jiang Youchu was taken aback: "For me?"

"Your investigative talent," Shen Wen said, handing over the card. "After upgrading, you should be able to see more information. It will be useful to us."

Jiang Youchu took the card, and a milky white light entered her brow.

"The exploration area has expanded," she said. "We can see more details, and the upper limit has also increased. There's also group exploration, which allows us to discover more valuable things."

Shen Wen nodded, took out the five bottles of bronze-grade mental potion, and distributed one bottle to each person.

Su Qingxuan, Su Mu, Jiang Youchu, and Lidi each took a bottle.

There was one bottle left, which Shen Wen put into the storage room.

"I'll use it after I break through to the Bronze level," he said.

Su Qingxuan unscrewed the bottle cap and tilted her head back to gulp it down.

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

Her mental strength jumped significantly, from the thirties to the fifties.

Su Mu and Jiang Youchu also drank it, while Lydia held the medicine bottle, sipped it slowly, and licked her lips.

Shen Wen's gaze fell on the facility upgrade card.

Silver level.

"How do I use this?" He stroked his chin.

Su Qingxuan leaned closer to take a look: "Which facility will it be used for?"

Shen Wen thought for a moment: "The nest of the underground demon spider?"

Su Qingxuan shook her head: "We don't lack combat power for the time being. Besides, even if we get bronze-level spiders after upgrading to silver level..."

But with our current resources, we probably can't cultivate that kind of force. Even cultivating Black Iron level combatants requires Black Iron level flesh and blood.

"If we need bronze-level flesh and blood then, where will we find it?"

The other three women nodded as well.

Shen Wen was also persuaded by Su Qingxuan.

She paused, then added, "Upgrading the kitchen, bathroom, and greenhouse should have special effects."

Shen Wen nodded, but didn't rush to make a decision.

He walked to the second carriage, his gaze sweeping over the various facilities.

The bok choy and lettuce in the greenhouse are growing well, a lush green expanse.

The kitchen's silver-white walls gleamed softly under the light.

The bathroom door was tightly closed, and a layer of condensation covered the glass door.

"The bathroom," Shen Wen said.

Su Qingxuan raised an eyebrow: "The bathroom?"

"Yes." Shen Wen turned to look at her. "You've seen the effect of the Abundant Bedroom. You can increase your attributes just by sleeping in it."

Upgrading living facilities to Silver rank should bring significant improvements.

Su Qingxuan thought for a moment and nodded: "That makes sense."

Without further hesitation, Shen Wen pressed the facility upgrade card onto the bathroom door.

A burst of silvery-white light erupted, enveloping the entire bathroom.

The light lasted for five or six seconds before gradually fading.

The bathroom door has changed.

The original glass door has been replaced with a frosted metal door, with fine runes appearing on the door panel, flowing like water ripples.

A pale blue crystal has appeared where the door handle is, with light slowly flowing inside.

Shen Wen reached out and pushed the door open.

Steam rushed towards me.

The bathroom is at least three times larger than before.

What was originally a small space that could only accommodate two people has now been transformed into a spacious bathroom.

The floor is paved with non-slip dark gray stone slabs, the walls are made of light-colored stone, and soft warm light shines down from the ceiling.

In the very center is a sunken bathtub, big enough for five or six people to bathe at the same time.

Hot water gushed out from the stone animal heads carved into the pool wall and poured into the pool, steam filled the air, and a faint herbal fragrance wafted through the air.

There is a separate shower room in the corner, with a glass partition and a copper showerhead that gleams with a dark gold luster.

On the other side is the changing area, with wooden benches and clean bath towels hanging on the wall.

Shen Wen opened the facilities panel.

【Lingze Bathhouse (Silver-level facility)】

[Effect 1: Bathing can quickly restore sanity, restoring 10 points per minute.]

[Effect 2: Bathing can wash away all negative status effects (poisoning, curse, weakness, etc.).]

[Effect 3: Soaking in the bath increases skill proficiency by 5% per hour. The longer the soaking time, the more significant the effect, with a daily limit of 2 hours.]

Shen Wen raised an eyebrow.

The extent of the upgrade was even greater than he had anticipated.

Restore sanity, remove negative effects, and increase proficiency.

Each of the three effects is more practical than the last.

Su Qingxuan leaned over for a look, a slight smile curving her lips: "You made the right choice."

Jiang Youchu peeked out from behind, stared at the bathtub for two seconds, and her eyes lit up: "This tub is so big, we can all soak together now!"

Su Mu reached out and patted the back of her head.

Jiang Youchu covered her head and pouted, "I'm just stating the facts..."
