Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era-Chapter 50: The First Quest-Type Station

<{Station 1: Pond of Water}>

{Description: A typical pond of water. What else do you expect?}

{Resources Available: Pond Water, Stones, Grass, Soil, Wet Dirt.}

{Danger Rating: None}

<{Station 2: Zombie-Infested Mall}>

{Description: A mall infested by zombies. As a densely populated area, it was easily overrun by zombies when the zombie virus outbreak occurred.}

{Resources Available: Zombie Virus Cure, Zombie Flesh, Zombie Blood, Food, Clothes, and everything you can expect from a mall.}

{Danger Rating: Extremely Low}

<{Station 3: Fear The Sun!}>

{Description: Oh, praise the sun! With its blessing, you can become a skinny man at night but a really strong, muscular man during the day! But are you worthy?}

{Resources Available: Sun’s Blessing, Sun’s Curse, Sun Essence, Solar Sword of Daybreak}

{Danger Rating: Certain Death}

<{Station 4: Red Riding Hood (Quest-type)}>

{Description: A young lady became a pure-blooded werewolf due to a relic left behind by her late grandmother. A townsperson had seen her transform into a werewolf at night, alerting the Hunter Coalition, causing her to be hunted by the hunters.}

{Resources Available: Train Occupant: Red Riding Hood, Huntsman’s Rifle, Livestock, Crops, and Townspeople’s items}

{Main Quest: The full details of the quest will be received when arriving at the station. But the gist of it is to prevent Red Riding Hood from being hunted and then executed by the townspeople in public.}

{Danger Rating: Low - Moderate}

[You and Jade both received those notifications, so you took your time to read all of it.]

[After seeing the four stations’ description, resources, and danger ratings, Jade asked, "Should we recruit a train occupant now?"]

["We have Malice Perception, so we won’t have to worry about getting backstabbed. Moreover, I’m sure there’d be some sort of contract that prevents betrayal."]

["We also don’t have to worry about having another mouth to feed. Food is the least of our problems."]

["Furthermore, we might get understaffed in later station worlds since we’d need to explore the station world while also having someone protect the train."]

[Jade added, "It’s also more efficient having someone split the work. Even if you can create multiple avatars, it still takes up mental burden in controlling them, and you might not have that luxury when facing stronger opponents."]

[Hearing her suggestion, you knew what Jade said made sense.]

[The problem of being understaffed could be solved by having more train occupants. However, not just anyone could be recruited as a train occupant.]

[There’s an option to abandon the train and become a train occupant of another Train Conductor’s train, but you and Jade didn’t have any plans of accepting fellow Terrans as train occupants.]

[It would be rare to find a trustworthy Terran, especially when they have a former background and pride of being a transmigrator and former train conductor.]

[You replied to Jade while analyzing, "From the looks of it, Red Riding Hood has nowhere to go since the townspeople no longer accepted her existence, going as far as tipping the Hunter Coalition and planning to hold a public execution."]

["According to the description, her grandmother had already passed away. In other words, she might no longer have any fetters and attachment to anyone in that station world, making it easier to recruit her."]

["I might hesitate a bit if there’s no danger rating feature. After all, it might be dangerous due to it being the first quest station we encountered. But a maximum of moderate difficulty is not a problem."]

[Hearing your analysis, Jade sighed, "The only problem is the full details of the quest since it might be difficult."]

["The danger rating only specifies the danger of the station world with our current combat power as a basis, but it won’t include the difficulty of completing the quest."]

[You assured Jade, "That problem can be solved by my talent."]

[Looking at the notification screen in front of you, specifically the quest description of Station 4, you used your Hint Prompt (Gold) talent.]

{Hint Prompt: You can ignore most of the quest details. The only two things that you need to remember are to avoid Red Riding Hood from being executed, as well as to ensure that none of the Townspeople are harmed.}

{Hint Prompt: Contrary to what the quest description will state later on, killing the hunters is fine. That will only risk enraging the townspeople, which will trigger them to risk their lives to protect the hunters, thereby forcing you to break the rule of not killing them.}

{Hint Prompt: Red Riding Hood can be trusted. As long as you pay your respects to her grandmother’s grave with her before leaving the station world, she will trust you.}

[Even with those hint prompts, you still weren’t satisfied since it was Jade and your first quest-type station world, and you don’t want any mistakes to occur.]

[So, you used your Hint Prompt talent again.]

{Hint Prompt: Station 4 is a world with a fairy tale background. Because of that, their power system is idealistic and based on a predetermined narrative. Red Riding Hood becoming a werewolf was an anomaly in the narrative, which is why she was rejected by the World Will of that station world.}

{Hint Prompt: While she’s disappointed with the townspeople, she doesn’t want to harm them since they were merely victims of the clergy’s incitement.

She can accept you killing the hunters and the clergymen, but her favorability and trust will drop if the townspeople are killed, so it’s suggested to restrain them instead.}

[After reading all those hints, you relayed them to Jade so she became informed of how the station and quest worked.]

[Jade replied, "We could give it a try. There should be no penalty for failing the quest, so it’s fine if we can’t fulfill it. And if we do, we’d have a new train occupant, so it’s worth the risk."]

[You agreed with her. You didn’t know if it was possible to bring train occupants to the real world.]

[Because of that, you wanted to have a train occupant and see if they’d be included in the simulation reward.]

[-Ding!]

{Station 4 has been chosen!}

{Prepare to disembark in 2 minutes and 30 seconds.}
