Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Chapter 218 A Belated Harvest

After giving Sun Keke her instructions, Sophia thought for a moment and then called Ivan over: "Ivan, come with me to find the corpse of the Axe Ice Fish and its treasure chest."

That's a drop from a silver-level monster! How could we miss it?

As for Su Li? He's quite carefree; there's no need to rush to find him.

"Okay, sister."

The siblings got dressed and went outside the train. Sophia wasn't worried that Sun Keke would run away while they were out. She could run away, but she couldn't hide forever; she'd have to go back to Blue Star City eventually. If she really did run away, Zheng Hongyuan would deal with her.

At this time, the wind and snow outside were not too strong, with a wind force of about level 6. Sofia and Ivan walked together towards the top of the mountain.

Before leaving this world, they naturally had to pay homage to the gods.

Sophia received a blessing from the goddess of the hearth.

A warm home

[When family members are at home, continuously restore their state based on their emotional state.]

In this world, it is a rather useful blessing.

This time, Ivan chose the husband of the Earth Goddess, the Lord of Stars, as his sacrifice.

The Lord of Stars is a male god with a somewhat peculiar personality who likes items from the starry sky and handmade gadgets.

Ivan sacrificed his self-made "Fire Element Mini Heater" and received a basic blessing.

[Starlight Guidance]

At night, you can detect nearby treasure chests.

Ivan became a Star Knight, so naturally he needed to find a god whose profession he was suited to.

Fortunately, the Lord of Stars and the Goddess of Earth are husband and wife, so it's okay to worship both gods at the same time.

However, this also meant Ivan would find it harder to worship those serious and rigid gods in the future. Because the Star Lord was rather eccentric, like a child.

Sun Keke, on the other hand, does not worship any deities. She plans to choose her main deity based on her career after she has established a career.

When they came into this world, it was still dark, which was just right for them to use Ivan's starlight guidance.

Guided by the starlight, Sophia and her companions spent an hour finding a collapsed tunnel.

After clearing away the fallen rocks in the tunnel, Sophia and her companions found three treasure chests in front of them: one gold, one silver, and one purple.

Above the golden treasure chest is the head of the Icefish, indicating that it is the Icefish's nest treasure chest.

The silver ones are just regular treasure chests.

The purple one is a furniture treasure chest.

Sophia walked up to the golden treasure chest, feeling somewhat excited. This was the first time her team had encountered a gold-level treasure chest.

Open the golden treasure chest, and inside lies a book, lying quietly.

"A skill book!" Ivan exclaimed.

Sophia took out the skill book and read its name.

"Theory of Fundamental Elements"

[Basic Elements Theory]

[Quality: Gold Level]

[This is the first book in the essential elementalist series, "Basic Elemental Theory," "Advanced Elemental Theory," and "Higher Elemental Theory." It records the basic properties of elements and forms the foundation for all advanced elemental skills.]

[After using this skill, players will learn the passive skill "Basic Elemental Theory": Increases the damage of elemental skills by 200%~500% and reduces the proficiency requirement of elemental skills by 10%-30%, depending on the skill level.]

[After learning this skill, cultivation-type players will experience different effects depending on their learning outcomes. Please develop your own methods.]

Sofia had only one word in her mind: "Got it."

The effect of this skill can be seen from the description provided by players who allocate skill points accordingly. It can significantly increase skill damage and reduce the upgrade requirements of other skills.

Within the team, Song Mingyu is a mage specializing in natural elements, Su Li is an elementalist specializing in ice and fire, and Sophia is a specialist in the five elements. Ivan is a Star Knight, whose starlight is often imbued with various elements.

Sun Lili, who recently joined the team, is a mage. Although we don't know what kind of mage she is, mages generally know a couple of elemental skills. Sun Keke is a support, and judging from her elemental attributes, she'll be focusing on debuff support.

Therefore, everyone can use this book.

"I've hit the jackpot!" Ivan exclaimed excitedly, wanting to do a backflip on the spot.

"Don't rush, there are still two treasure chests left." Sophia calmed her breathing. "You can open the remaining two. I'm afraid I've used up all my luck."

This kind of metaphysical explanation was also learned from Zurich.

"Okay, I'll drive."

Ivan grabbed the silver-grade treasure chest and opened it immediately.

Inside the treasure chest, a blueprint and a one-handed sword were found.

Ivan opened the blueprints first.

[Magic Sewing Table Blueprint: A magic-based crafting table used for processing fabric.]

This is the item corresponding to the Magic Forging Table.

With two more magic-based classes in the team, the proportion of cloth armor in the team's gear will also increase.

Mage-type classes primarily equip themselves with cloth or leather armor.

Let's take a look at another one-handed sword.

The Blade of Judgment

[Quality: Black Iron Grade]

【Radiant Judgment】

[Unleash a radiant judgment upon the enemy, dazzling them. It can be charged 3 times, gaining one charge every 2 hours.]

Undoubtedly, this item suits Ivan better, giving him another control ability. Ivan's self-positioning is that of a protector and controller.

The last treasure chest was a furniture chest. Ivan was equally excited.

Because they have a very powerful piece of furniture in their home, called Anning, which is believed to protect the mind and enhance learning efficiency and comprehension.

This is a furniture chest left behind after defeating a Silver-level monster, so there's a high chance you'll get some really good items from it.

Ivan opened the treasure chest, inside were two finished pieces of furniture, sealed inside a crystal ball.

Two more pieces of furniture with attributes. Ivan glanced at them and felt they had a unified style, like a set.

After putting away the props, Sofia led Ivan back onto the train.

Then, the train started moving and headed in the direction indicated by the divination.

Inside the car, Sofia first sent their haul to Zuli.

Sofia - Do you want to look at the skill book first?

Zuli—Let me see the skill book first. I'm stuck because I don't have enough knowledge, and it's really frustrating.

Sofia – I understand. There are two more pieces of furniture; you can accept them as well.

After sending the skill books and furniture to Zuli, Sophia and the others also opened the Winter Feast gift box.

After the gift box was opened, a sumptuous winter feast appeared on their table. Ivan couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he smelled the tempting aroma.

Sofia, however, was utterly astonished. In her eyes, the dishes were interconnected and complementary, achieving a unified whole. "This is the advanced form of secret cuisine—a banquet?"

The three sat down and savored the delicious winter feast. Before long, they had almost finished eating. They left a portion for one person, specifically for the unconscious Sun Lili.

Sofia and Sun Keke carried the food to Ivan's bedroom, which had been temporarily used by the Sun sisters.

Upon opening the dormitory door, Sophia saw Sun Lili lying on the bed like Sleeping Beauty.

Sofia stared at Sun Lili, very curious about Sun Lili's condition.

According to Sun Keke, Sun Lili has been unable to wake up due to psychological issues.

However, many mysteries surround Sun Lili. For example, she can go without food or water, yet her body remains clean and she doesn't excrete waste. It's as if a dreamlike beauty has come to life.

Sofia naturally asked Sun Keke why Sun Lili was so amazing. Sun Keke simply replied that it was Sun Lili's privacy and she had no right to tell others.
