Chapter 232: Acquiring The SSS-rank Wish Maker Innate Talent!

[After several hours had passed, you soon received feedback from the Loan Shark’s Ledger.]

[In your item inventory, two innate talent crystals suddenly appeared. They were none other than the innate talent crystals corresponding to the SSS-rank Wish Maker and S-rank Psychic innate talents.]

[You transferred them to your system inventory. Deciding to let the S-rank Psychic innate talent crystal stay in your system inventory, you took out the SSS-rank Wish Maker innate talent crystal.]

[’After scheming for several hours, I finally got the SSS-rank Wish Maker innate talent!’]

[’As long as I use this innate talent crystal, I’ll be able to awaken the SSS-rank Wish Maker innate talent!’]

[Without any hesitation, you immediately used the innate talent crystal.] 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

[Feeling something awaken within your body, you soon received relevant information on how to make use of the SSS-rank Wish Maker innate talent.]

[However, even without the awakened information related to this SSS-rank innate talent, it didn’t affect you in any way. After all, the information you received was similar to or even less than what you acquired via Hint Prompt.]

[Not all innate talents would come with awakened information on how to make use of the newly awakened innate talent, but most S-rank innate talents and above would have a likelier chance of that occurring.]

[After awakening the SSS-rank Wish Maker innate talent, you decided to check your Train Conductor Panel.]

[-Ding!]

{Name: Zayne Voss}

{Age: 19}

{Race: Arch Human}

{Rank: Late Mythril}

{Train Conductor Level: 30}

{Strength: 450,000}

{Physique: 470,000}

{Agility: 450,000}

{Spirit: 550,500}

{Innate Talents: SSS-rank Future Diary, SSS-rank Wish Maker, SS-rank Mental Fortification}

{Innate Abilities: Fairy King of Multiplication, Blood Manipulation/Generation, Bloodline Pressure, Adaptive Evolution, Perfect Memory, Order King, Energy Devouring Dagger, Crystal Manipulation/Generation, Gem Manipulation/Generation}

{Acquired Skills: Malice Perception, Item Recall, Silent Steps, Presence Concealment, Hunter’s Instinct, Ghostwalk... (Other miscellaneous skills)}

{Inventory: Rule Horror Maze Merchandises}

[Undoubtedly, even when your power rank was displayed as Late Mythril rank, your stat attributes were even greater than those who had just recently entered Peak Mythril rank.]

[Not to mention, your Spirit attribute was already at Initial Titan rank.]

[As long as you didn’t court death and confront those Titan rank powerhouses, you would be able to deal with most, if not all, Mythril rank powerhouses with ease.]

[With your current power, most station worlds no longer posed a threat to you.]

[However, the Train Survival World was vast, so even if there were fewer station worlds with a world rank of Mythril and above compared to those below, they were still quite plenty.]

[’Jade’s Train Conductor Panel is almost identical to mine, especially regarding the stat attributes.’]

[’After all, aside from the difference in innate abilities and acquired skills, the two of us both have the same stat boosts granted by being Arch Humans, as well as achieving Fairy Fruit Awakening and possessing a Peak Mythril-grade Spirit Avatar.’]

[Looking at your innate talents, you were satisfied that you managed to acquire two SSS-rank innate talents and one SS-rank innate talent.]

[Jade currently had two SSS-rank innate talents, the SSS-rank Equivalent Exchange innate talent that she awakened on her own, as well as the SSS-rank Hint Inquiry innate talent that you had acquired for her.]

[Although you and Jade could acquire more innate talents, the two of you still chose only the innate talent crystals that were usable for both of you. Those that were redundant or weren’t suited for the two of you were allocated to your train crewmates instead.]

[As Train Conductors, while resources would be tilted and focused towards you both, you and Jade still were aware that the progress of other train crewmates couldn’t be neglected.]

[Because of that, as long as it wasn’t crucial to you and Jade but was truly compatible with the other train crewmates, you and she would give those resources to them instead.]

[’All that’s left is to acquire the SSS-rank All Stars Aligned innate talent. As long as I can have that innate talent, I’ll be able to use it in great synergy with my SSS-rank Wish Maker innate talent.’]

[’That way, I’ll be able to solve the problem of Wish Maker’s granted wishes having a chance of failure of being granted. But for not-so-difficult wishes, Jade and my luck of being Arch Humans should be enough.’]

[Thinking of this, you knew that you currently have one usage of Wish Maker.]

[Although Leigh had used up his monthly usage of Wish Maker, when the innate talent was passed onto you, the monthly usage was reset.]

[But before using Wish Maker, you decided to use your Hint Prompt talent to verify if what you planned to wish it on was plausible or not.]

{Hint Prompt: If you were to wish for the next mandatory station to have a multiplayer-type station as a station option for Train Pathways, that wish will be guaranteed to be fulfilled.

If you were to expand that wish further to include the chances of Luke Fortune, the Terran Train Conductor, possessing the SSS-rank All Stars Aligned innate talent, to arrive in that multiplayer-type station, the chances of that wish being granted is 80%.}

{Hint Prompt: If you were to gamble and make that wish, even if there’s 20% chance of the wish failing to be granted, the result will still be you and Jade winning that gamble!}

[Receiving those two hint prompts, you no longer hesitated and used your Wish Maker innate talent.]

["I wish for the Train Pathways to include a multiplayer-type station as one of the station options. In that multiplayer-type station, the Zenith Train Crew will encounter Luke Fortune and his Train Crew."]

[After you made that wish, your innate talent soon responded.]

[You felt that your wish was successfully granted!]

[’It seems even if the wish granted isn’t guaranteed and has chances of failure, I can just rely on my Hint Prompt to determine if it will be granted or not.’]

[Although making this wish had caused your usage for this month to be used up, you didn’t feel it was a loss.]

[The SSS-rank Wish Maker talent wasn’t omnipotent. You even feel that in some areas, the Vampire Progenitor could fulfill some of your wishes better than it.]

[At least, if you dare to wish for a stat-boosting item used by Starlight rank powerhouses, the SSS-rank Wish Maker talent would have an extremely high chance of failing to grant that wish.]

[But if you were to make such a wish towards the Vampire Progenitor, the Vampire Progenitor would be more than capable of fulfilling that wish.]

[’The best use of the Wish Maker talent for now is to let it influence the mandatory stations that the Zenith Train Crew would encounter.’]

[’That way, as long as I can choose what station options would come up during the activation of Train Pathways, Jade and I would be able to prioritize stations with resources that we badly needed.’]

[’For example, we need a station that has a Peak Mythril rank powerhouse. That way, I can get their blood and flesh and use it as a fertilizer.’]

[’Aside from that, there’s also the need for stations that could provide opportunities to comprehend Authorities. Even if an Authority is not possible, then a special identity spark.’]

[You recalled that in the past station options, there was the station option for the Shepherded Humanity Station.]

[The Shepherded Humanity Station was in the same station options batch as the Millennium Vampire War Station.]

[You remembered that the Shepherded Humanity Station has resources related to special identity sparks. There are even two of them, specifically the Special Identity Spark: Messiah, and Special Identity Spark: Godslayer.]

[The Messiah special identity spark was the easiest special identity spark to acquire, while the Godslayer special identity spark was the most difficult.]

[Of course, that danger was in relation to the previous power ranks you, Jade, Old MacDonald, and Scarlet had.]

[After all, Shepherded Humanity Station was filled with Wild Gods who literally treated the human race as livestock. Their strongest were as strong as Peak Crystal rank.]

[At that time, you and the others encountered that station option, the Zenith Train Crew was only at Peak Platinum power rank. The true combat power was only approximately the Initial Diamond rank.]

[No matter what, going there at that period would have been seeking death. But now, even if you wanted to go there, the mandatory stations would likely not show it as a station option.]

[’Fortunately, I’ve already acquired the Wish Maker innate talent. Even without a Station Ticket, I can choose to revisit those station worlds that we’ve encountered.’]

[’For example, the Shepherded Humanity Station has a resource that I’ve been wanting to get, which is the Special identity Spark: Godslayer.’]

[’Although the Zenith Train already has the Divinity Slayer train ability, the Special Identity Spark: Godslayer doesn’t completely overlap with it. Moreover, possessing it can even allow advancement to Aether rank, substituting the need for an Authority.’]

[’No matter what, even if it’s just for Scarlet and Astraea’s sake, I must get a Special Identity Spark for them. Having that as a backup will prove to be useful.’]
