Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era-Chapter 32: Lesser Mystic Apple

[You had already checked your stat panel before using your Train Conductor Authority.]

[It wasn’t anything special as there were 4 stat attributes and an initial stat of 5 was considered as the average for an adult human.]

[Those four stat attributes were Strength, Physique, Agility, and Spirit.]

[The Strength attribute was one’s raw physical force output. It covered physical attack power, carrying capacity, melee damage scaling, object-breaking force, and throwing power.]

[Basically, it was how hard you hit.]

[The Physique attribute was one’s body quality and durability. It covered HP/ vitality, physical defense, endurance, resistance to poison, disease, fatigue, and healing speed.]

[Basically, it was how hard you are to kill.]

[The Agility attribute was one’s kinetic control, basically how fast and precise you move. It covered movement speed, attack speed, reaction time, dexterity/precision, and dodge rate.]

[On the other hand, the Spirit attribute was one’s mental and supernatural engine, basically, how powerful your inner force is. It covered the energy pool, spell power/ability power, mental resistance, willpower, soul strength, and control over abilities.]

[According to the information revealed by the World Will, Normal-rank creatures have 1-50 stats, Iron-rank at 51 - 200, Bronze-rank at 201-500, and Silver-rank at 501-1000.] 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

[The stat cap for higher ranks wasn’t revealed by the World Will, even if you asked, due to insufficient Train Conductor Authority.]

[All of your stats were average, aside from Spirit, which was a whopping 200, which placed your Spirit at peak Iron-rank.]

[You had assumed that it was likely due to eating the Fairy King of Multiplication fairy fruit, as well as your willpower and soul strength being honed as you experienced doomsday life simulations.]

[Now that you and Jade possess the Lesser Mystic Apple that could boost all 4 stat attributes by 5 stat value, the two of you could finally surpass most survivors and be ahead of them.]

[’As long as Jade and I can increase our stats, needless to say, Jade can use her Equivalent Exchange innate talent more freely.’]

[’If her Physique and Spirit stats were at peak Bronze-rank, even exchanging for the materials required by the Temperature Stabilizer blueprint would be possible.’]

[No longer hesitating, you gave nine of the Lesser Mystic Apples to Jade and kept only one for yourself.]

[It wasn’t because you were selfless, but you only needed one. The way your Unlimited Food Creation (Gold) talent worked was that it contained all the food catalog of Terra before it had world updated.]

[To add more to the food catalog, you either had to kill the ingredients, such as killing the 400-meter-tall Orca and being able to keep on creating its flesh and even dishes cooked with its meat.]

[Or, you could also do it by eating the ingredients or food, and even by cooking it. Merely looking at it or possessing it wasn’t enough.]

[So even if you had obtained those fairy fruits, only the Fairy King of Multiplication and the Fairy King of Sealing were replicable. The rest couldn’t be duplicated since you haven’t eaten, cooked, or killed them yet.]

[So after eating the Lesser Mystic Apple, you felt a mystical sensation nourishing your entire body and even spirit.]

[Eating it made you twice as strong as you were before, so the increase in power was still discernible.]

[After you ate it, you also felt it become available in your Unlimited Food Creation’s food catalog.]

[Waving your hand, a bunch of Lesser Mystic Apples appeared, placed on a basket, much to Jade’s surprise.]

[Noticing that Jade only ate one Lesser Mystic Apple and didn’t eat the rest, you asked her, "Why didn’t you eat them? Didn’t I give all of it?"]

[In response, Jade replied, "You only ate one, so I only ate one. Just in case your talent might not work, I decided we should share it first."]

[Realizing what she said, Jade added, "It’s not that I don’t trust you or your talent, but I’m not the one who has it, so I don’t know what its limits are."]

["Even my innate talent, despite being SSS-rank, can’t be exchanged for items I haven’t heard of or aren’t within my energy limit."]

["The silver chest was obtained by both of us, so it’s only fair if we split it. In case your talent malfunctions, you’d still have your share that way."]

["Moreover, if the version you created was inferior in effect to the original, then it would be better if you also had the same number of originals as I have."]

[You didn’t expect Jade to think of it that way. Or rather, you don’t know much about her.]

[After all, even in the real world, while she had already found you as her backer, you both didn’t have many interactions before that. Or more like, you didn’t have many interactions with girls, unlike Damien.]

[You frequently interacted with your friend circle, which was mostly boys. After all, you weren’t a playboy, unlike Damien, and you also weren’t gay to have so much in common with girls to even hold girl talks with them and be able to hang out with them.]

[As one of the four prince charming of the college, hanging out with a girl, especially a campus belle like Jade, wouldn’t be deemed as hanging out with a friend but courting.]

[You didn’t have much interest in starting a relationship until you got a job, so you mostly had fun with the bros and focused on your studies.]

[Nevertheless, it was great to know that Jade had this side of her. It made her being your Train Conductor Duo a lot easier.]

[The World Will might deserve death for throwing all of humanity in this hellhole, but at least it wasn’t blind in matching you with a Train Conductor.]

["Don’t worry, Jade. The food created by my talent is the same as the original. In some cases, if I want to, its weight or some small details might be different, but its effects are absolutely the same."]

[Handing her one of the Lesser Mystic Apples that you created, you let her eat it.]

[After eating it, Jade’s eyes widened in surprise as she checked her stat panel, "It’s really the same! Just how high is your innate talent’s grade? It doesn’t seem to have limits."]
