[Witnessing Jade’s eyes widen in shock from your revelation, you continued, "The Train Conductors that those Diamond rank entities knew and encountered were from previous batches."]
["From what the Crimson Eye heard of, there were even organizations or alliances established by those veteran Train Conductors, and even in this world, it’s a formidable force."]
["Moreover, some Train Conductors who worship Wild Gods are notorious in station worlds to the point that if they’re found, the powerhouse in a station will do their best to eliminate them."]
["It’s also not unheard of for station natives to manage to plunder a Train Core and become Train Conductor themselves."]
["However, aside from the Train Core, they also needed to be recognized by the World Will of the Train Survival World to be granted the Train Conductor Authority, so not everyone could become Train Conductors using that method."]
[You paused for a while and added, "If I’m not mistaken, some veteran Train Conductors have even reached Diamond rank or even Crystal rank. What I don’t know is if there’s truly a rank above Crystal rank, and if they manage to reach that."]
["Either way, it’s not good news for us since Terra started so late in the Train Conductor business. I figured that while the World Will claimed to have lifted the newbie protection period, there’s still a hidden one that drastically reduced the chances of us encountering veteran Train Conductors."]
["But since we already reached Peak Platinum rank and our Train Conductor Level will soon rise to Level 21 and have our second train upgrade path choice, I’m pretty sure the World Will would allow us to encounter other Train Conductors."]
[The Train Conductors in the same period could no longer contend with Zenith. So, you naturally figured out that the World Will would let the Zenith Train Crew encounter those veteran Train Conductors.]
[Listening to your words, Jade commented, "In some ways, if we encounter veteran Train Conductors, it’s not a bad thing. I don’t know if they have innate talents. But if we encounter them, as long as we can defeat them, we can plunder their resources and become stronger."]
["Bullying Terran Train Conductors will only yield us Train Cores, and we’d be lucky enough if we encounter a high-rank innate talent. So, it’s not that bad if the World Will lets us encounter them."]
[You nodded, "Yes, I’m also quite looking forward to it. From what I know, not all veteran Train Conductors are that strong. The vast majority of them are still below Platinum rank."]
["Otherwise, if most of them were that strong, they would have already been ganged up on by Wild Gods and station world powerhouses. But since they weren’t, a status quo was maintained, and Train Conductors just became existences similar to Wild Gods."]
["Like Wild Gods, some Train Conductors like ourselves just ravage the station world we step foot in. And if I’m not mistaken, some Train Conductors should have their own newbie benefit granted to them by their previous world before they were mass transmigrated here."]
["In our case, it’s innate talents. I don’t know what those veteran Train Conductors had. But it shouldn’t be that bad, considering they managed to live that long and prosper. It might also be just the same as ours and be an innate talent."]
[Although you learned a lot of information from the Crimson Eye, there were still gaps in information since the Crimson Eye was still only a native station inhabitant, and it doesn’t help that it mostly stayed in the Rule Horror Maze.]
[For you to know more about the situation of Train Conductors, you had to use Hint Prompt on those veteran Train Conductors.]
[Perhaps, those knowledgeable Wild Gods might even know more information since they were quite active in other station worlds like Train Conductors, unlike the Crimson Eye, who mostly stayed in the Rule Horror Amusement Park.]
[After you and Jade discussed the matters regarding the veteran Train Conductors, you didn’t forget to compile all the valuable information you learned from the Crimson Eye and pinned it in the zenith chat group for Scarlet and Old MacDonald to see.]
[Afterward, you immediately headed to the Blood Orchard Carriage, which was the Third Carriage of the Zenith Train.]
[Having nothing else to do, Jade followed beside you, taking the initiative to hold your hand.]
[Using Train Conductor Authority, you opened a passage to the Blood Orchard Carriage as you and Jade stepped inside.]
[As soon as you arrived, the metallic scent of blood wafted into your nostrils. However, you didn’t mind it as the transplanted Blood Fruit Tree in front had eased any displeasure you had.]
[Seeing it grow so lush and already bearing Initial Gold-grade Blood Fruits, you were glad that the Blood Fruit Tree was successfully transplanted without any issues, even thriving in the Blood Orchard Carriage more than when it was in the Crimson Rain City Station.]
[Heading towards the Blood Fruit Tree, Jade asked you while following beside you, "What’s the grade needed for the Blood Fruit to allow us to evolve?"]
[In response to Jade’s question, you responded, "Initial Platinum-grade. We need the blood of Platinum-rank creatures. Moreover, it needs to be creatures full of vitality and can’t be like those rule horror creatures that are even deader than a corpse."]
[Although it was a huge jump from an Initial Silver-grade Blood Fruit that you and Jade previously consumed, that was the gap between a High Human and an Arch Human.]
[From what you discovered using Hint Prompt, the gap between an Arch Human and an Ancient Human was even higher than the gap between an Arch Human and a Normal Human.]
[At least, this should be your last bloodline rank improvement in this doomsday life simulation. The chances of you becoming an Ancient Human were even lower than becoming a Crystal rank Train Conductor, which goes to show how difficult it was.]
[Jade inquired, "So, we’ll have to choose stations that have such creatures in abundance?"]
[In response to her question, you shook your head and used Unlimited Food Creation to create the blood of the strongest sea creatures you encountered in the Global Ocean Survival World, "No need, I already have the blood of Platinum-rank sea creatures in my food catalog."]
