Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era-Chapter 31: Silver Chest Loot
[With the Level 2 Starter Train being upgraded to a Level 5 Train, there now existed 5 train carriages and 1 locomotive.]
[Moreover, due to the installation of the Accelerator Train Module, a pair of rocket propellers was installed on the train.]
[Unlike a train ability, which existed inherently within the train, a train module was mostly a device that was externally attached to a train.]
[In other words, you speculated that if the rocket propellers were destroyed, then the Accelerator Train Module would become unusable.]
[With both the Train Module and Train Ability already used, your attention shifted to the silver chest inside Carriage 1, where you and Jade stayed.]
[You didn’t have to drive in the driver’s cabin as the train will move regardless due to mandatory station stops. However, if needed, you and Jade could use your Train Conductor Authority to manually drive the train, but still can’t make it stop or prevent it from going forward.]
["Do you want me to open the silver chest or should I wait for you to recover?"]
[Hearing your question, Jade was still panting in exhaustion as if she was sleep-deprived, yet was abruptly woken up and forced to run a 50 km marathon.]
[You and she had underestimated just how high the energy depletion was when using the SSS-rank Equivalent Exchange innate talent.]
[While a single session for common and uncommon train upgrade materials was negligible, it adds up due to the sheer quantity needed, which eventually caused Jade to be in a disheveled state.] 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
["You open it and show me the contents. I hope there are useful items inside. At this rate, I won’t be able to assist you in the upcoming station stop."]
[Listening to Jade’s reply, you reassured her, "Your help in upgrading the train is indispensable. As I mentioned before, leave the station world exploration to me."]
["At worst, if there isn’t any safe station world, we’ll just stay in our train."]
[While you and she were upgrading the train before, you had asked the World Will if it was possible to not leave the train during station stops.]
[It turned out it was possible, and that was likely what most players who are scared to go outside and risk their lives would do.]
[However, even staying inside wouldn’t be truly safe, as the monsters and "NPCs" of the station world might attack the train.]
[’Too bad I can’t use my Multiplication power to multiply Jade’s energy recovery rate. I can’t even multiply objects yet and affect the external world.’]
[’I can only use it to boost my own power or anything part of myself. Maybe when I achieve the Semi-Awakening Stage, I’d be able to duplicate items and influence the outside world with my Multiplication power.’]
[Having those thoughts, you inspected the silver chest, and your Hint Prompt (Gold) talent took effect.]
{Hint Prompt: Treasure chests in the Train Survival World are divided into grades from lowest to highest. In that order, they are, but not limited to: Wooden, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Crystal.
In this particular silver chest, you will receive the following contents: Lesser Mystic Apple x10, Silver-grade Swift Gauntlets x1, Train Module Blueprint: Thermal Stabilizer x1, Malice Perception Skill Scroll x2}
[To your surprise, your Hint Prompt (Gold) title could display the contents of a treasure chest without opening it.]
[’Does that mean each treasure chest, contrary to one’s expectation, has predetermined items inside and isn’t randomly generated?’]
[You didn’t know about other treasure chests, but the treasure chests of the Train Survival World seemed to work that way.]
[You opened the silver chest, and as you had expected, the items inside it were what your talent had hinted you about.]
[The Lesser Mystic Apple was red like an apple, but it was slightly smaller and had a ruby-like skin.]
{Lesser Mystic Apple (Initial Silver): An apple regularly eaten by mystic forest animals. Eating it can grant +5 stats to all attributes permanently, with a limit of Peak Bronze stat cap.}
{Swift Gauntlets (Initial Silver): A silver gauntlet of the Elf Buster Series, mass-produced by a certain dwarf empire. It cannot attack intangible and spiritual creatures such as ghosts, elemental spirits, etc. However, it can harness the surrounding wind elements to increase attack efficiency.
Durability: 1,000/1,000
Effect 1: Harness the wind elements, granting 50% attack speed.
Effect 2: While wearing, can use the Wind Impact skill. You can imbue wind force in your attacks, increasing lethality.
Effect 3: While wearing, can use the Wind Wall skill. You can wave your hand and create a wall of wind that blocks projectiles.
Effect 4: In a fifty-meter radius, it can disrupt the usage of wind-based magic spells cast by those of the elf bloodline.}
{Temperature Stabilizer (Initial Silver-grade Train Module Blueprint): Installed in the train carriage. Automatically regulates temperature for all passengers. Effective against Extreme Heat and Extreme Cold.}
{Materials Required: Reinforced Steel x30, Hydraulic Rod x15, Medium Energy Core x1, Advanced Circuit Board x2, Fire Spirit Essence x1, and Ice Spirit Essence x1}
{Malice Perception (Initial Silver-grade Skill Scroll): A mystical skill scroll that grants the user the ability to sense hostile intent and hidden malice in individuals, creatures, or environments.
Effect 1: Detects the presence of ill intent within a 50-meter radius, highlighting potential threats even before they act.
Effect 2: Alerts the user to traps, ambushes, or concealed hazards caused by malicious entities.
Effect 3: Can sense deceit or hidden agendas in conversation or interactions, giving a subtle warning when someone harbors harmful intent.
Limit: Does not reveal specific abilities or exact actions, only the presence and intensity of malice.
Cooldown: Passive skill; constant effect while active, but prolonged use may induce sensory fatigue over several hours depending on Spirit attribute.}
[When you checked the description for each reward, your mood was greatly boosted, and you couldn’t help but yell in excitement and hug Jade.]
["Hahahaha! Jade, we’re rich! We’re about to take off!"]
[Maybe it was due to Jade’s high favorability towards you; she wasn’t against the abrupt embrace, but it did startle her and cause her face to blush in shyness.]
[You were too excited to notice her expressions. After all, you know the implications of one particular item, and that made you look forward to Jade and your future.]
["Jade, I’ve gotten an apple that can improve our overall stats. As long as I eat even just one, my talent can duplicate it as much as we want, and we’ll be invincible!"]
