Chapter 105: Plan To Take A Day Off

[’Even in the unlikely scenario that they managed to pay off their debts and hand me a diamond-grade item, I still wouldn’t lose out.’]

[’Hopefully, the regional merger would start after this first Extreme Event ends, since I highly need more debtors to harvest. These several thousand people aren’t enough.’]

[’If I can put every Train Conductor in the world into debt, I’ll undoubtedly be the most successful in the loan shark world.’]

[You were looking forward to a regional merger since those who had lived long in other stations naturally possessed high-ranking innate talents. You coveted their innate talents since you plan to give some of them to Jade.]

[While you were ruthless and didn’t even see strangers as real people, you believed you were still quite generous to your own people.]

[As long as you found items that didn’t suit but suited your train crew members the most, you wouldn’t mind giving them to them.]

[So far, there were only four train cremates in Zenith, but you knew that number would expand as you travel long enough in the Train Survival World.]

[After you finished putting almost everyone who inquired about your service into debt, Jade, who had read the chat group messages, couldn’t help but let out a playful chuckle, "Darling, you truly aren’t leaving them a way out~!"]

[Leaning her face towards you, she whispered into your ear, "You’ve become a bad boy~!"]

[Her soothing voice yet teasing tone, coupled with the warmth of her breath on your ear, made you shiver involuntarily.]

["Jade, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?"]

["I’m telling you, if you keep tempting me like this, you’ll really force me to make a move."]

[Jade’s teasing undoubtedly tested your self-control.]

[If it was only on this particular day, it wouldn’t have been a problem. However, it wasn’t, as she would ambiguously sleep with you with just her underwear, or even take a bath with you.]

[Not only that, she would make out with you, doing everything except for the last step.]

[You had already informed her to be patient as you didn’t want the two of you to be in a slightly weakened state due to doing the deed, especially Jade.]

[While that could arguably be solved with using your multiplication fairy fruit ability to increase recovery, that alone wasn’t just your problem.]

[You knew you wouldn’t be satisfied with just doing it for a few hours or so. The stamina and drive of a High Human wasn’t as meager and simple as a normal human’s.]

[You estimated that you and she could technically go on forever due to using multiplication and division to increase the recovery rate and reduce energy consumption.]

[Because of that, it would take more than a day, which would be a problem considering that the train would stop at a station every day.]

[You and Jade haven’t obtained any items that could allow the train to "take a day off", so you have never done it with her yet.]

[While she was aware of that, Jade still puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, "You can’t blame me. Normally, I’d be able to wait, but that’s only what I had thought."]

["I thought that since I could wait that long before we became lovers, I could also wait until we take that last step. But later on, as we sleep together and spend intimate moments with each other, I can’t help but crave for you more."]

["Now, I can’t hold back anymore, especially when we already have the means to take a day off. Zenith can now function without us having to explore stations by ourselves."]

[Hearing Jade’s complaints, you scratched your head in confusion, "How? We still have to deal with choosing the station or early departure. And I can’t send out a multiplication avatar, or that will ruin my focus when doing the deed."]

[Jade retorted, "Don’t play dumb. While we indeed need to choose the station and manually depart early, we already have enough train crewmates for exploring the station worlds."]

["Choosing a station won’t take more than a minute, so it won’t inconvenience us much."]

["We can ask Old MacDonald to accompany Scarlet in exploring the station world. They both came from the same world, so they would be able to cooperate well."]

[Jade added, "We were having a lack of manpower before, with only Scarlet as our train crewmate. But now, Old MacDonald can assist Scarlet, and it will no longer be inconvenient for her when exploring the station world."]

["Although the two of them don’t have your Absolute Compass nor your Hint Prompt talents, it doesn’t matter much since we only planned to let them explore and take what they could get."]

["It’s basically us skipping the station exploration to take day offs, but instead of getting nothing, we still get something due to the efforts of our train crewmates."]

[Seeing Jade trying so hard to explain and convince you, you no longer refused, as what she explained indeed made sense.]

[Although Old MacDonald wasn’t the type to go out and fight, you still knew from your Hint Prompts that he wouldn’t mind, as he merely disliked doing things that weren’t related to farming and ranching, but didn’t outright hate it.]

[Because of that, you sent a message in the zenith chat group to inform Scarlet and Old MacDonald about Jade and your arrangements.]

[But as soon as you sent that message, Scarlet responded positively, yet Old MacDonald remained silent.]

[When you pinged Old MacDonald again, you received a notification that implied that he couldn’t access the chat group due to being impersonated.]

[You pondered, ’Well, that was unexpected. It seems when I was busy loaning my impostor identification service to other train conductors, the impostor chose to impersonate Old MacDonald.’]

[’The impostor sure chose the most vulnerable target to be impersonated, especially when Jade and I are together, while we have also spent a lot of time with Scarlet, in comparison to Old MacDonald, who has just recently joined Zenith.’]

[’Sigh, it’s best that the impostor event started now so that I can deal with it and finally do the deed with Jade.’]
