Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

After reading it, Zuli returned to the train to prepare for training, just as Ivan found him.

The little guy, who's 190cm tall, was acting all coy and awkward in front of Su Li, making Su Li's face contort in disgust.

It's so awful.

Su Li tapped her little brother's breastplate with her index finger. "If you have something to say, just say it. If you keep doing this, I'll have your sister jump up and twist your ear."

"Then I'll tell you, please don't be angry," Ivan said cautiously, observing Su Li's expression.

"Oh wow, I've addressed you so formally. It seems this matter is quite serious." Su Li looked Ivan up and down. "You've grown quite bold. Fine, go ahead, I definitely won't get angry."

“You said it,” Ivan said, beaming. “Then, brother-in-law, can you be my mount?”

"Solar eclipse!"

"Wait, brother-in-law, you promised you wouldn't get angry!"

"I was faking it, hehehe!"

Su Li drew her Sunwheel sword and lashed Ivan several times with the back of the blade, knocking him to the ground. Sitting on Ivan's back, she tapped her younger brother on the head with the hilt of her sword. "What's wrong with you? Want to ride your brother-in-law? Star Knights are unparalleled on horseback, and your brother-in-law is invincible on foot. You think riding your brother-in-law makes you invincible?"

"That's not what I meant!"

"You didn't mean that?"

After saying that, he looked at Sophia, who was cooking nearby, and asked, "Why don't you go find your sister?"

Ivan's head was pressed onto the carpet, and he said in a muffled voice, "No rush, you two will get a share."

Then the younger brother experienced his sister's care again after a long time.

The older sister and brother-in-law sat on Ivan's lap at the same time, saying, "Give me a proper explanation."

"It was a sudden inspiration I had when I was with Ember," Ivan explained, head bowed. "If I can activate the power within Ember, can I activate the power within my companions?"

"Hmm...this seems promising." Su Li was somewhat convinced. "But have you thoroughly researched that skill?"

“I’ve basically figured it out. This skill is quite simple.” Ivan’s tone quickened as he talked about his research. “This skill comes from the Star Knights, who specialize in astrological abilities.”

"Brother-in-law, you know that the moon actually reflects the sun's light, right?"

“Yes, I understand.” Su Li nodded.

Ivan continued, "Although it is reflecting the sun's light, after being reflected by the moon, this light takes on the moon's characteristics."

"My skill is the same. I originally thought it was about stimulating the power of the mount itself, but in reality, it's about shining my starlight onto the mount, then harmonizing the mount's power, giving the starlight new attributes, and thus unleashing new power."

“Then I thought, could this skill be used on other people?” Ivan said, glancing at Su Li. “Using myself as the star and my teammates as planets, I can unleash the hidden power within them.”

"The feasibility is quite high. However, it sounds like it requires a lot of coordination," Su Li concluded.

Sofia retorted, "Not only that, there's also a contract. Starlight refraction is achieved through a contract, but we don't have one between us. How can that work?"

“No, sister, you’ve forgotten, we also have a contract.” Ivan pointed to the train. “The contract of the Eternal Game.”

"You can utilize the Eternal Game's contract?" Sophia countered.

Ivan's momentum immediately weakened. "At least give it a try."

“Alright. Sophia, you do as you please. I’ll take him to the training grounds for a tryout.”

Su Li brought Ivan to the training ground.

Su Li just sat there, watching Ivan wink and make faces at her, trying to say something for a long time but unable to get anything out.

"Looks like it's a failure." Su Li shrugged.

Ivan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Brother-in-law, how about you let me ride for a while and get a feel for it?!"

"Solar eclipse!"

"Just kidding, just kidding!" Ivan waved his hands repeatedly.

Su Li extinguished the greatsword; he was just joking. "You can find something that can replace the contract. Isn't the contract essentially about creating some kind of connection between your mount and you in terms of magical energy? Grasp the essence, little brother."

"...Indeed, should I learn about mental linking?"

"Can you learn it?"

"...I can't learn it. Forget it. I'll go back and ask my master for technical support."

Ivan's skill development is temporarily on hold, but Zuli is very optimistic about Ivan's future. This might be a key point for him to integrate his abilities.

After a period of rest, Su Li and his group separated and continued searching for supplies.

However, Su Li thought that the rest of the time would be wasted, but unexpectedly, he encountered the same orcs as before.

After the green-skinned orcs were killed, Su Li and his group got out of the car to check and found that these green-skinned orcs had not received any blessing or transformation at all.

This greatly surprised Su Li, because he knew perfectly well that these orcs couldn't escape the overwhelming volcanic ash. How could they be completely unaffected after being covered in volcanic ash?

However, they only understood what was going on after Su Li cast an appraisal spell on them.

【Blessed Orcs】

[A beastman transformed by the blessing of a certain god]

Now the mystery is solved: how could the indirect blessing of a demigod transform a race blessed and transformed by a true god?
