Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Su Li was startled, and then cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"I was careless." Su Li swallowed hard.

Fortunately, I had specifically used the appraisal skill to verify it before reading the book.

This book isn't even an original copy.

The authentic book on elements was compiled by the God of Magic, several elemental lords, numerous mages, and the God of Wisdom. As for the handwritten copy, who knows what kind of nonsense it contains?

Not to mention, Su Li and his group had just offended some unknown scoundrel, and Old Deng had specifically warned them not to touch anything suspicious.

This handwritten copy perfectly matches what Lao Deng was talking about as a jumbled mess!

Thinking of the mastermind behind it all, who left behind a parchment scroll and thus brought about the demise of a civilization, Zuli felt immense pressure.

This handwritten copy might not be a trap, but Su Li was unwilling to take any chances.

Su Li steadied herself and continued looking at the system's assessment results.

[Advanced Elemental Theory Manuscript]

[Gold Level]

This is a handwritten copy of the second volume in the essential elemental skill series, "Basic Elemental Theory," "Advanced Elemental Theory," and "Higher Elemental Theory." It records the advanced properties of elements and methods for purifying elements using the power of gold, and forms the foundation for all advanced elemental skills.

This manuscript is filled with the writer's study notes, and at the end, it records a legendary spell technique: Light and Dark Revolution.

[Learning Requirements: Players who prioritize stat allocation must have already learned the passive skill "Basic Elemental Theory." Players who focus on cultivation can learn it if they understand it, and if they don't, they should pursue further study.]

[After use by players who add points, the passive skill "Basic Elemental Theory" will be upgraded to the passive skill "Advanced Elemental Theory", and the proficiency of "Basic Elemental Theory" will be inherited.]

Advanced Elemental Theory: Based on skill level, increases the damage of elemental skills by 1000%~2500%, improves the quality of elemental spells, increases the priority of elemental spells, increases spell penetration by 20%-30%, grants low-level spell immunity and countermeasures, and reduces the proficiency requirement of elemental skills by 20%-50%.

[Probabilistic acquisition of legendary spell skills - Light and Dark Revolution]

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

The description doesn't explain the effects of Light and Dark Revolution. The mere fact that it's called a legendary spell skill proves that it's a powerful passive skill of legendary rank.

Light and darkness are clearly a unity of opposites, which overlaps with Zuli's approach, and Zuli could certainly learn from it.

Not to mention the outrageous elemental bonuses from advanced elemental theory.

My heart fluttered, it fluttered so deeply, but my heart also trembled, it trembled so intensely.

This final trick always gave Su Li the feeling that it wasn't a coincidence.

“But the temptation is really great.” Su Li closed her eyes. “Should we take a gamble? Maybe this handwritten copy isn’t part of the conspiracy of the mastermind behind it all…”

Su Li raised her head slightly, facing the ceiling, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

After hesitating for a long time, Su Li let out a long sigh, "A cake that seems to have no harm at all... Was this the kind of temptation the Spirit Eye people faced back then?"

Su Li slowly relaxed her grip on the manual, took a deep breath, and instead of opening the book, she placed it in her inventory.

"I'm not going to study anymore, no, I'm not even going to look at it. I can get my hands on an advanced book on elements later. The best way to avoid losing at gambling is not to gamble."

"Moreover, this thing might not be unusable." Su Li stroked his chin. After deciding to give up, his mind started working again. "Legendary-level spell techniques, how tempting! I can totally trade them with someone else. It wouldn't be unreasonable to exchange such a valuable handwritten copy for a genuine copy of 'Advanced Elemental Theory' plus a copy of 'Soul of Weapons,' would it?"

Who to trade with? This could be a trap, so it definitely can't be traded within Earth.

Didn't Blue Star plant some spies among those five races? Through these spies, they made trades with those races.

These races have survived for so long by plundering, they must have a lot of good stuff on their hands.

Having made her decision, Su Li reached out and examined the remaining book.

[A Formula for Medium-Grade Special Metals - Written by the Nomo People]

[Special metal formulas printed inside the Nomo people's homes record various special metal formulas collected and developed by the Nomo people.]

This poses a much smaller threat. After all, it's just a metal formula, so the harm is not high.

Su Li opened the manual and found that it contained many recipes for special metals. These metals, like his high-temperature resistant metals, were all outstanding in certain aspects. In game terms, they were ice-resistant metals, poison-resistant metals, metals resistant to large temperature differences, radiation-resistant metals, and so on.

These manuals detail the manufacturing methods for these metals. Unfortunately, these methods all require the expertise of a machinist.

"As expected of the Nomorians who are skilled in mechanics, but some of their techniques seem to be achievable through other means. I'll study this with Ivan later, and once we've finished, our train can be upgraded again."

There are many metals here that work very well. Zurich can also provide the materials needed.

Su Li has always been terrified of his train being bombed again. His train has been bombed more than once, and he's developed PTSD.

Concerned about the mastermind behind it all, Su Li carefully reviewed the manual from beginning to end once again. Fortunately, the contents of the manual were mostly about pure physical reactions, and the magical energy manipulations involved were not particularly advanced.

After putting the manual away, Tang Sheng had only collected these things on the train.

After all, Tang Sheng was a mechanic, and most of his resources were invested in the creation of his own legion, which was not compatible with Su Li and his team's combat system.

Having completed all this, Su Li began docking the two trains. In the final vehicle carriage, after docking the two trains, Su Li operated the control panel, bringing Tang Sheng's entire train into the protection sequence of his train's Civilization Flame. In this way, when leaving this world and moving through the void, the system's power would protect Tang Sheng's train from being destroyed by the power of the void.

This exploration has come to a successful conclusion. However, strangely enough, although Su Li and his companions have essentially saved the world, the system's reward has yet to be delivered.

With the remaining 11 days, Su Li first sent Reef to Holy City, so that Reef and the others could prepare to enter the Eternal Game.

Meanwhile, changes were happening in the outside world. The crimson moon of the night had disappeared, and now only pale blue and pale yellow moonlight shone through, radiating a tranquil glow.

The sea level was also changing, something Su Li and her group only noticed after leaving the underwater city. Every moment, countless points of light floated out of the sea, drifting in the air for a while before dissipating. According to Sun Lili's perception, these points of light were seawater created by the evil god; with the evil god's death, they lost their restraint and returned to being energy.

In just 11 days, most of the seawater had receded, revealing parts of the land that had been submerged for hundreds of years.

Watching the teenagers cheering and jumping for joy on the ground, Zuli closed the train door.

A portal slowly opened in front of the train.

It's time to say goodbye to this world.
