Chapter 229: [Bonus GT 2/2] Threatening Leigh For His Wish Maker Innate Talent

[’Due to the limit of the Wish Maker talent, the Terran Train Conductor who possessed it is only at Silver rank. The monthly usage meant that he had only used it once since the Two-Person Train Survival Era had started.’]

[’Of course, it’s also possible that he had used it more than once but paid the price for it. Regardless, his progress is way slower since the user of the SSS-rank All Stars Aligned was lucky that there wasn’t any price to pay in using All Stars Aligned.’]

[’Not to mention, All Stars Aligned even had a passive effect of making him extremely lucky. In some ways, All Stars Aligned is still stronger than Wish Maker since the former doesn’t have any price to pay while the latter has too many restrictions.’]

[’All Stars Aligned’s usage is more consistent, which was the reason why its user immediately became a Mid Platinum rank Train Conductor.’]

[’However, in terms of ceiling, Wish Maker is better since if conditions were right and the wish was successfully granted, then one could wish for almost anything.’]

[Thinking of this, you realized that possessing both All Stars Aligned and Wish Maker would make anyone invincible.]

[Those two SSS-rank innate talents had great synergy; the passive effect of All Stars Aligned would even boost the chances of the wishes granted by Wish Maker to be successfully granted.’]

[Not to mention, using the active version of All Stars Aligned could drastically increase the chances of any wishes from being granted, as everything would align for the user.]

[’I should start scheming for that Silver rank Train Conductor’s SSS-rank Wish Maker innate talent.’]

[’From what I have discovered, his Train Conductor Duo is his younger sister. The reason his progress is fast isn’t entirely due to his talent that could only be used once a month, but due to his sister.’]

[’It seemed that his sister was quite lucky as she possessed an S-rank Psychic innate talent. An S-rank innate talent already makes one above most Train Conductors.’]

[’Furthermore, it just so happened that the S-rank Psychic innate talent is very versatile, able to perform any psychic powers and can grow stronger through training or scaled with the Spirit attribute.’]

[’It’s due to his sister that they’ve managed to deal with most threats in the station worlds. His Wish Maker innate talent is mostly used as a last resort to deal with problems that couldn’t be solved with just his sister’s innate talent.’]

[As for why you immediately thought of his younger sister, it was mostly due to planning to hold her hostage. If he were a lone wolf, you would find it more difficult to scheme against him.]

[Fortunately, your luck was quite good and your target just happened to have a weakness you could exploit.]

[’So far, the only means I have to take someone’s innate talent from afar is via the Loan Shark’s Ledger. To achieve an extremely high interest to the point that it’ll only take a day for the collateral to be transferred to me, I must lend him Crystal-grade items.’]

[’At most, I can just think of it as trading Crystal-grade items in exchange for his innate talent. I won’t mind giving him enough Initial Crystal-grade Crystal Gem Fruit to the point one of them would become an Initial Crystal rank powerhouse.’]

[’If that would be needed to make the debt unpayable, then so be it. It’s not like they’ll be able to catch up with the Zenith Train Crew’s progress.’]

[’At most, my actions would ruin the balance of the Terran Train Conductors and, for several months, make that guy and his younger sister dominate any other Terran Train Conductors except for my Zenith Train Crew.’]

[As long as you could acquire SSS-rank Wish Maker, you were willing to pay any price as long as you could pay for it.]

[After making that decision, you decisively sent a private message to that Silver rank Train Conductor.]

{Zenith Zone Zane: Good day, Leigh Anderson. I’m Zayne from the Zenith Train Crew, the undisputed strongest Terran Train Conductor in the Train Survival World. My Duo and I have been in world announcements, and if you don’t believe me, you can ask the World Will for proof.}

{Zenith Zone Zane: I have a deal for you. Whether you want to accept the deal or not isn’t up to you, as I have a way to remotely kill you and your younger sister.}

{Zenith Zone Zane: As soon as you see this message, you’d better respond, or else I’ll make an example out of your sister.}

[At first, you had planned to greet him courteously and at least put up a kind facade. But as you typed, you were quite used to being at the top and looking down on weaklings like him.]

[Because of that, you eventually wrote it in a hostile and threatening way, no longer caring about what he felt.]

[Naturally, you wouldn’t underestimate even those weaklings. But the premise was that you didn’t possess all the information of those weaklings, since who knew if they were secretly the reincarnation of a Starlight rank powerhouse.]

[However, that wasn’t the case for Leigh Anderson. You have already exploited Hint Prompt on him countless times to the point you knew everything about him, from his power down to the color of his underwear.]

[Due to that, you were well aware that aside from his SSS-rank Wish Maker innate talent, Leigh Anderson was nothing. He wouldn’t pose any threat to you, no matter how you treated him.]

[Since treating him in a friendly way or treating him like trash wouldn’t make much of a difference, you decided to just do whatever you want. Anyway, you have the upper hand and could flip the table anytime you wanted.]

[It was for this very reason that you had wanted the Death Papyrus. It was a useful item for threatening to kill someone from afar and could be used in conjunction with the Loan Shark’s Ledger.]

[Waiting for his reply, you thought, ’According to Hint Prompt, he’ll have no choice but to accept my offer.’]
