[In some ways, controlling the time flow within the train’s interior wasn’t without a price.]
[So while you’d be able to spend more time inside than outside, which was useful for training, your lifespan would also be extended by the same amount of time you spent outside.]
[If you ever spent a hundred years inside while only fifty years outside had passed, your body will truly age a hundred years rather than just fifty years.]
[In other words, it was mostly useful for those living beings with high lifespans, as they could abuse their high lifespan to spend more time than beings with low lifespans.]
[You didn’t care about the downside of the accelerated time flow, as it wasn’t a problem to you since you were not only at Peak Platinum rank, but also an Arch Human.]
[Your lifespan was quite long, to the point that you are more likely to die in the doomsday life simulation due to encountering a powerful entity rather than natural causes.]
[Thinking of this, you didn’t mind using the accelerated time flow as it wouldn’t affect your lifespan if you were to ever inherit your power into the real world.]
[As soon as Jade received the feedback from her Train Conductor Authority regarding the Realm Core, her breath hitched as she muttered in realization, "Does that mean... Darling and I can make love in our room for 2 weeks straight, but only a 1 week passes in the real world?!"]
[Although what Jade said wasn’t loud, it didn’t make much difference when your sense of hearing as a Peak Platinum rank Arch Human could clearly hear what she muttered even from miles away, let alone when Jade was so near you.]
[Noticing your strange gaze, Jade blushed, defending herself immediately, "You’re an Arch Human yourself, you should know our sex drive. Although it’s fully controllable and we can even choose to somehow shut off our desires, there’s no point in doing that when you’re with me."]
["I’d love to make love with you, so I’m just being true to my desire!"]
[You could understand what Jade said as you were also an Arch Human, so you could feel that your desires and the sins of humanity seemed to be more pronounced.]
[It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, as from what you discovered, the more pronounced greed, wrath, pride, lust, sloth, etc., that you felt had the perks of being more attuned to desire and sin-based powers.]
[In some ways, you and Jade as Arch Humans, had more affinity to it compared to those demons. However, it wasn’t a downside.]
[As an Arch Human, you could easily control your desires, easily shutting them off as if they didn’t exist. So, if you want to, you could shut off desires and be like an earnest monk, yet it won’t affect your personality in any way.]
[So, even if your lust and desires were more pronounced, it wouldn’t affect your thinking and wouldn’t make you want to mate with any beautiful girls you see.]
[But, it did at least make your nightlife more colorful, and you weren’t averse to such desires, especially if it was with Jade.]
[Jade felt the same way, which was why she didn’t even hide it, basically telling you that she was fine to do it whenever you want to.]
[Knowing Jade’s desires, you kissed her forehead and said, "We’ll do it later, but not now. Remember, you still have to upgrade the train."]
["I checked, and the resources needed to upgrade the train weren’t as rare as I expected them to be. With our current power rank, they’re easy to acquire train upgrade materials."]
["I feel like with our power rank, our train level should have been around the thirties, yet our lack of time and fast progress made it so that our power rank surpassed our train leveling progress."]
[Hearing your words, Jade didn’t refuse, as you couldn’t escape her anyway if she really wanted to do it. In some ways, those who became Train Conductor Duos with their lovers, as long as they truly love each other, were having the time of their lives.]
[At least, you were glad that you were paired up with Jade. If you had been paired up with your dorm mates, although you had some confidence they wouldn’t betray you, your nightlife wouldn’t be as colorful as it was now.]
[After Jade checked the upgrade material requirement for upgrading the train from Level 21 to Level 22, Jade realized, "We already possess most of the materials needed to upgrade the train. As for those rarer ones that are station-specific, I can easily convert them, and the conversion fee is within my tolerable range."]
["What will truly hinder our train upgrade speed is those Train Cores. Not only do the modules need train cores, but even the train upgrade needs train cores."]
[Faced with Jade’s slight worries regarding insufficient train core, you reassured her, "Don’t forget, a lot of people still owed me huge debts. None of them had repaid their debt yet, and the interest has been rising crazily."]
["As long as I deem that they can no longer pay their debt, everything they own will be received by me as collateral, not just their lifespan and innate talents, but also the train core they possessed."]
[Before, when you put those Train Conductors in huge debt during the Daily Impostor Extreme Event, you didn’t know they possessed Train Cores, so you hadn’t thought much about it, mostly focusing on their lifespan and innate talents.]
[Although your true combat power now surpassed the Shark Loan’s Ledger, it was by no means rendered useless. At least, as long as it wasn’t against Peak Platinum rank powerhouses and above, who had the means to break off the contract, then you could exploit them with the debt established.]
[Knowing that those Terran Train Conductors couldn’t break off the debt they incurred, you remained complacent. It was only a matter of time before you could harvest everything they have, especially the innate talent crystals and train cores.]
