[Seeing Jade’s surprised expression, you smirked.]
[You had asked the system, and a rough estimate was that SSS-rank innate talent was comparable to Orange-grade simulation talents. On the other hand, SS-rank talents were Purple-grade, while S-rank was blue-grade.]
[Of course, even among innate talents, there was a gap despite being of the same rank. And since it was a rough estimate, there are even cases where an SSS-rank innate talent might be so trash that it is at purple-grade.]
[Needless to say, even among SSS-rank innate talents, Jade’s Equivalent Exchange talent was considered stronger and better, arguably the same rank as your Absolute Compass talent.]
[While the two of you were eating Lesser Mystic Apples, you both were startled after hearing a notification sound, interrupting what you and Jade were doing.]
[-Ding!]
{There’s only 3 minutes left before the mandatory station stop. Please prepare to disembark.}
[-Ding!]
{Station Pathways Ability activated!}
{The train is about to arrive at a station world. Please choose one of the four stations.}
<{Station 1: Convenience Store}>
{Description: There are no hidden dangers. It’s just a typical convenience store.}
{Resources available: Various snacks and junkfood, preserved food like canned goods, and basically what you’d expect from a convenience store.}
{Danger rating: None}
<{Station 2: Spider Cave}>
{Description: A cave filled with spiders. Ratmen used to mine here until they uncovered a spider-infested cave connected to their mine.}
{Resources Available: Spider meat, spider web, and any spider-related materials. Common and uncommon-grade ores. Mining tools}
{Danger Rating: Low}
<{Station 3: Angels Of Death}>
{Description: In this world, angels of death were bored enough to throw several Death Papyrus into the mortal world. Any names listed on the Death Papyrus, regardless of their strength, as long as they are mortals, will absolutely die.}
{Resources Available: Death Papyrus, Death Angel Feather, Angel of Death Bloodline, Mortal Soul.}
{Danger Rating: Low - Certain Death}
<{Station 4: Crimson Rain City}>
{Description: A city experienced an unusual crimson rain. When people ingested crimson rain, they became Bloodsuckers.}
{Resources Available: Bloodsucker Hunting Weapons, Bloodsucker Bloodline, Crimson Rain Gem, Bloodsucker Fang, Blood Core, Blood Fruit}
{Danger Rating: Moderate}
[You and Jade both saw the information about the four stations.]
[As soon as Jade saw one of the resources available, she couldn’t help but yearn, "I really want the Death Papyrus."]
[You chuckled, "Who doesn’t want it? But whether we’ll be alive to leave with it is another matter."]
["No matter how powerful we are now, if our names are listed on that papyrus, the certain death rating will prove why it was rated as such. Likewise, if we aren’t targeted by holders of the Death Papyrus, then it’s not much different from living in a city."]
["Although the existence of Angel of Death Bloodline and Mortal Soul as a resource is quite interesting."]
[Jade and you were tempted to take a gamble and see if you could get those extremely rich resources.]
[However, you both knew just how weak you currently were, and it would be a pipe dream to even snatch the Death Papyrus.]
[Finding it with your Absolute Compass was easy, but getting it was too risky, so you didn’t want to ruin this doomsday life simulation just for that.]
[In the end, Jade sighed, "We can try to get it when we’re no longer considered as mortals. I’d assume these station worlds can be encountered again even if the chances aren’t high."]
[You agreed with her. You both decided to check the other sections instead, ignoring the Angels of Death Station.]
[The convenience store was ignored by both of you as well. After all, the food and water resources there could easily be created by you.]
[Moreover, you have countless malls and supermarkets in your system inventory, further making it an unappealing choice.]
[Even if Jade didn’t know about that, she still could use her Equivalent Exchange to exchange for miscellaneous essential items like tissues, napkins, soap, and such.]
[The resources in the convenience store could easily be created or exchanged by both of you, so it was redundant.]
[The same could be said for Spider Cave, so you both didn’t choose that as well.]
[So, the two of you came to an agreement and didn’t hesitate to choose Station 4.]
[-Ding!]
{Station 4 has been chosen!}
{Prepare to disembark in 2 minutes and 30 seconds.}
[When you and Jade read that notification, you both felt the train changed direction.]
[Although the train was still moving forward, its direction was tilting to the left rather than a straight line like it used to.]
[It should be noted that the Train Survival World didn’t have any built train tracks.]
[Instead, the Trains of Train Conductors would create a train track below the ground, and it would disappear after the train drove on it.]
[Knowing that the train stop will be in around 2 minutes from now, you and Jade started eating the Lesser Mystic Apples without any regard for your appearance.]
[You even used your multiplication power to increase your eating and digesting speed by a hundred times.]
[You finished eating all of it until all four stats of yours were at 500.]
[Since Jade didn’t have such a boost, she was still having a hard time eating all of it. Moreover, Lesser Mystic Apples provided satiety like a normal apple, and despite being a foodie, even Jade could no longer continue eating after her overall stats reached 300-ish.]
[Handing Jade a Malice Perception skill scroll, you used one yourself.]
[-Ding!]
{Do you want to learn the skill: Malice Perception?}
{Yes | No}
[Pressing the yes button using your mind, you immediately feel that you can see through the malicious intent of others.]
[When your gaze landed on Jade, you felt she exuded a warm golden aura.]
[In other words, she didn’t harbor any malice towards you, and even had a lot of goodwill.]
[You were confident that your perception was accurate since, currently, your Spirit attribute was higher than hers.]
[Even if she had used the skill scroll, Malice Perception couldn’t hide one’s malice, only detect the malice of others.]
[Knowing that, you breathed a sigh of relief and decided to trust her, taking out the Mythical Ability-Type Fairy Fruit, the Fairy Queen of Division, Epithet: Separation.]
["Jade, this is one of the treasures I have, something called a Fairy Fruit. This one in particular suits you."]
