Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era-Chapter 101: Train Ability: Void Parking Space

[After informing Jade about your intention to use the Hint Prompt on their usernames, you looked at Milkers’s username and decided he’ll be your first test subject.]

[Using Hint Prompt on him, you then received a Hint Prompt, but it wasn’t what you wanted. The information was mostly related to him, like his age, his innate talent, etc., which didn’t interest you as it was quite mediocre.]

[However, you didn’t give up, using it multiple times until you finally received a hint prompt that was related to the impostor event.]

{Hint Prompt: Milkers had experienced an impostor event where his best friend was impersonated by the impostor. He couldn’t figure out which was which, and it’s almost an hour before the forced meeting to vote out the impostor would be held.}

{Hint Prompt: The best friend to the left is the impostor. Impostors aren’t truly flawless, or else they would be unsolvable. In this case, the impostor’s flaw is that he cannot beat the real one in soccer, which was the sport that Milkers and his best friend loved to play the most.}

[Reading those hint prompts, you breathed a sigh of relief, "So it turns out that these impostors aren’t truly without flaw. However, the World Will of the Train Survival World didn’t mention that, which meant it was up to the Train Conductor to find out about it."]

["When a train conductor believes that the impostor is perfectly the same as the impersonated, then that would be a dead end as they wouldn’t attempt to figure out the impostor’s flaws and would resort to just using luck to guess the real one."]

[Fortunately, you didn’t have to rely on that since you have the Hint Prompt (Gold) talent.]

[No wonder the Hint Prompt (Gold) talent had a boosted rate in this doomsday scenario. It had always proved useful to you and was your most frequently used talent.]

[Looking at Jade, who was waiting for your response, you smirked, "Jade, my Hint Prompt works on their username and can be used to figure out the impostor on their side!"]

["In other words, I can use this event to make money from them!"]

[Your intentions when thinking of figuring out the impostor for them weren’t pure.]

[For you who had already designated everyone in the doomsday life simulation as an NPC, with the few exceptions of your lover and allies, you won’t hold back in exploiting them like what a good capitalist would.]

[You already hold a monopoly over this business of impostor detection, and you weren’t worried about not making any profit, especially when using simulation talents like Hint Prompt, which barely cost any energy.]

[With that in mind, you took out the Platinum Chest you had obtained from the Spirit Avatar Battle Station, which was obtained from the Black Market Treasury.]

[You hadn’t opened it yet since you weren’t in a hurry, especially when you already knew the contents of all the chests you obtained. This was the only Platinum Chest among them as the rest were Gold Chests, Silver Chests, etc.]

[Moreover, you didn’t bother to open those that only contained train upgrade materials, as well as irrelevant items. After all, they wouldn’t be immediately useful. So, you let Jade have all of them since she was in charge of upgrading the train.]

[It was more convenient for Jade that way since storing treasure chests took less space than opening them.]

[After you opened this Platinum Chest to get the item you wanted, you heard a notification sound in your mind.]

[-Ding!]

{You have opened a Platinum Chest and received the following contents: ...Loan Shark’s Ledger, and Train Ability: Void Parking Space}

{Void Parking Space (Ability): The Train Conductor can park the train inside the void, allowing it to be invulnerable to almost all means of attack. Not only that, but it will also be hidden from plain sight and can only be seen by those who can see through the void.

While the train is parked inside the void parking space, it cannot use turrets or any means of attack unless it is taken out of the void. The Void Parking Space is merely a parking space that prevents most entities from seeing and attacking the train, so it cannot be used to attack others from the void.}

{Loan Shark’s Ledger (Peak Platinum): A sinister contractual artifact born from the Spirit Avatar of a notorious loan shark who once dominated countless debtors through binding agreements. After his death at the hands of a Wild God, his Spirit Avatar condensed into this ledger, preserving its terrifying authority over debts, collateral, and repayment.

Any agreement recorded within the ledger becomes a binding contract recognized by mystical law. Once both parties willingly agree and inscribe their intent upon its pages, the debt cannot be broken unless it is fully repaid or settled through collateral.

Effect 1: Allows the user to create binding debt agreements with another party through the ledger. Both parties must willingly consent to the contract terms before the ledger recognizes the agreement.

Once the agreement is recorded, the contract will remain dormant until the creditor fulfills their promised obligation. Only after the creditor completes their part of the deal will the debt officially activate, binding the debtor to the repayment terms stated in the contract.

Effect 2: The ledger can evaluate and convert nearly anything of value into collateral, including but not limited to treasures, bloodlines, lifespan, abilities, talents, luck, memories, or spiritual attributes.

Effect 3: Debts recorded within the ledger accumulate interest over time according to the agreed contract terms, significantly increasing the repayment value.

Effect 4: If a debtor fails to repay within the agreed terms, the ledger will forcibly extract equivalent value from the debtor. Extracted assets may manifest as items such as bloodline crystals, talent crystals, ability fragments, lifespan essence, spirit cores, or other forms of condensed value.

If the creditor fails to fulfill the agreed obligation within the contract conditions, the agreement is automatically nullified, and no debt will be recorded.

Effect 5: Once the contract is formed, the debtor cannot renegade or escape the agreement through deception, escape, or external interference unless they possess power exceeding the artifact’s authority. Even in that case, the debt agreement is already ingrained in the debtor’s soul, and the ledger will ensure it causes a backlash to their soul, detonating the soul mark.

Limit: The ledger cannot force a contract without mutual consent. It also cannot extract value exceeding the total worth of the debtor’s existence.}
