Huo Shuangshuang received the Human Body Transformation Characteristic, her expression complex.

"Take it, I have no use for characteristics." Huo Shuangshuang threw the Supernatural Characteristic toward Huo Lingling.

"Thanks." Huo Lingling caught the characteristic and stored it away, then threw out a backpack.

"Upgrade your cabin, sitting here all the time isn't comfortable."

The backpack was filled entirely with money, enough for Huo Shuangshuang to upgrade to a Hard Sleeper carriage.

After obtaining the Supernatural Characteristic, Huo Lingling didn't leave immediately. Instead, she grabbed the Bald Man's head with one hand and violently smashed it against the train wall. The man's nose twisted sideways, blood spraying everywhere.

The Bald Man grabbed Huo Lingling's arm, unleashing all his strength, but couldn't break free. Huo Lingling's hands were like hydraulic pliers, her fingers almost piercing through the Bald Man's skull.

"I won't dare! I'll never dare again, please let me go!" the Bald Man begged for mercy.

"Borrow money." Huo Lingling said coldly.

"I'll borrow! I'll borrow! I'll borrow! How much do you want?" The Bald Man's face twisted in agony, his head feeling like it would split open.

"I won't take much—just borrow ninety percent of your money!"

"What? That's too much... I'll borrow! I'll borrow! Stop pressing! My head's going to explode!"

Huo Lingling released her grip and directly snatched the Bald Man's backpack, pulling out several hundred dollars from inside.

"That should be enough."

The Bald Man gasped for breath, his face filled with terror. The woman before him was absolutely not human.

Seeing Huo Lingling take only a small amount of money, he thought she had shown unexpected mercy, but the next moment shattered his hopes completely.

Huo Lingling threw the several hundred dollars back at the Bald Man. "For you!"

Only then did the Bald Man understand what was happening. He stared blankly for a moment before hurriedly saying, "Didn't you say ninety percent? What you left me is way too little."

Huo Lingling gave an evil smile. "You heard wrong. I said ninety-nine percent. If you don't want it, give the money back to me."

The Bald Man quickly hid the money, feeling extremely resentful inside but too afraid to show his anger.

Huo Lingling unzipped the backpack and walked over to a young man. "Borrow money. Sixty percent."

The young man's eyes turned icy cold. "I didn't threaten you."

Huo Lingling pointed at Huo Shuangshuang. "That's my sister. You just pulled a gun on my sister. My boss told you to put down your guns, but you didn't do it immediately."

Veins bulged on the young man's forehead. "Leave some room for maneuver—we might meet again someday. Push things too far and you'll face retribution."

Without another word, Huo Lingling grabbed the young man, lifted him effortlessly, and threw him away.

Bang~ Thump~

The young man crashed to the ground, clutching his stomach, his face pale as paper, his body curled up like a boiled shrimp.

Clomp clomp clomp~

Huo Lingling quickly stepped forward and kicked the young man in the abdomen. "It seems you haven't properly assessed the gap between us yet."

The young man seized the opportunity to pull a dagger from his chest and stab at Huo Lingling's calf.

Crack~

The dagger was blocked by her skin, not even drawing a single drop of blood.

"If your strength were several times greater, you might have actually pierced my skin," Huo Lingling remarked.

The young man trembled as he spoke, "I'll borrow."

Hmph!

Huo Lingling snorted coldly. "You too—ninety-nine percent!"

"But..." The young man saw Huo Lingling preparing to strike again and silently swallowed the word "why."

The young man handed over a backpack. Huo Lingling skillfully pulled out several hundred dollars and took the backpack away.

Immediately after, everyone who had threatened Huo Shuangshuang with guns met with misfortune, forced to "lend" most of their money to Huo Lingling.

Even the young couple who had initially harassed Huo Shuangshuang couldn't escape their fate—all their money was taken by Huo Lingling.

After Huo Lingling left, the carriage fell into complete silence. Everyone's gaze toward Huo Shuangshuang had changed.

With a monster for a sister, why did you come to the hard seat carriage? Were you pretending to be weak to catch others off guard?

Seeing that others had also suffered misfortune, the Bald Man felt his frustration dissipate somewhat.

At least he wasn't the only unlucky one—several people in the carriage would be joining him in eating Cockroach Paste.

Huo Shuangshuang felt the various stares around her and sighed. She couldn't stay in this carriage any longer—she needed to upgrade carriages as soon as possible.

These gun-wielding survivors were no pushovers. Even after being disciplined by Huo Lingling, they wouldn't necessarily fear her.

"Train Attendant! I want to upgrade my cabin!"

Premium Soft Sleeper Carriage

"What a strange Supernatural Characteristic," Yun Xiuzhi remarked.

The Human Body Transformation Characteristic had absorption restrictions—only humanoid creatures could absorb it. Transformation abilities like monkeys, humans, and gorillas would work.

Yun Xiuzhi tried to absorb it but couldn't succeed.

The Giant Beast that Li Xuan transformed into differed too greatly from human form, so he definitely couldn't absorb it either.

Among the three, only Huo Lingling could absorb this particular Supernatural Characteristic.

After a short while, Huo Lingling successfully absorbed the characteristic and carefully experienced her newly acquired ability.

"What ability?" Li Xuan asked.

The intelligence had specifically mentioned this Supernatural Characteristic, so it must have remarkable qualities.

If it were just an ordinary characteristic, it typically wouldn't appear in future intelligence about someone.

For example, the intelligence about Huo Shuangshuang's future mentioned the Demon Pearl and her later joining a demonic sect, but it didn't mention Huo Shuangshuang obtaining any other opportunities. Could it be that in the second version, Huo Shuangshuang didn't gain any opportunities at all?

That was absolutely impossible—Huo Shuangshuang had initially developed her demonic physique before the third version update!

This could only mean that ordinary opportunities wouldn't appear in the system's intelligence.

Huo Lingling opened her eyes, the skin and flesh on her face writhing as she instantly transformed into Huo Shuangshuang's appearance.

A moment later, she changed into the appearance of the Vulture team's Round-Faced Girl.

"The ability's effect is to modify flesh and blood, changing appearance. It's similar to a shaping characteristic but stronger than shaping characteristics."

As Huo Lingling spoke, her face continued to change.

Shaping could only slightly alter body shape and appearance, while Human Body Transformation could change the entire body. Even internal flesh and blood could be gradually modified—for example, allowing oneself to grow two hearts, increase chest muscles, and so on.

Yun Xiuzhi marveled, "What an excellent ability! Who could detect it when used for disguise and infiltration?"

The form change actually transformed even the flesh and blood—it wasn't just disguise. Even if enemies had clairvoyance abilities, they couldn't see through it.

Li Xuan pondered deeply and came up with another application.

The Clown Train's final destination was Heavenly Ox Island Soul King Village, which contained Martial Arts. Although it was unclear whether they could practice martial arts in the second version, learning it early certainly couldn't hurt.

Li Xuan hadn't previously considered learning martial arts techniques in advance. They were outsiders with only ten days to stay—the time was too short.

But now that Huo Lingling could change her appearance, what was previously impossible had become potentially feasible.

Subsequently, Li Xuan communicated his idea with Huo Lingling and Yun Xiuzhi.

"It's feasible," Yun Xiuzhi nodded in agreement.

Huo Lingling raised a finger, her mind bursting with whimsical ideas. "The Form Change Characteristic can even alter internal organs. Could it make me into a martial arts genius? Maybe I could master the basics in just ten days!"
