Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era Chapter 94: Owning The Hanged Rope

[Jade continued, "Aside from his weak power rank that can still be solved with our Body Tempering Potion and Spirit Crystal, I also don’t like being with a goblin."]

["Call it racist, but the goblin race doesn’t have any redeeming qualities. Although since he’s been chosen, it ans that among the many lustful and abhorrent goblins, he isn’t the sa, and his personality would even fit well with us."]

["But, I don’t want to take the risk for such a little gain. It’s a loss-making business to waste a Train Crew Summoning Scroll on him."]

[Scarlet nodded in agreent, while adding, "I’ve heard nothing good about these goblins. Even this one you ntioned betrayed the goblin race due to the atrocity his race has committed."]

["Although as an individual, he might fit in with us, but as Jade said, the risk isn’t worth it. There are far better train crewmates with higher potential and useful skills that we could summon."]

[Hearing their opinion, you didn’t disagree with them. While you weren’t the type to care about race and appearances, that still depended on who you were dealing with.]

[The goblin race didn’t have a good reputation. Simply put, you’d rather have a ratman in your crew than a goblin.]

[Or in a truly worst-case scenario where you had no options left, an orc was even far more useful than a goblin.]

[’Well, it seems I am indeed racist.’]

[Having that realization, you didn’t care much since Jade and Scarlet were girls and bringing a goblin in Zenith would put them at risk.]

[While you wouldn’t mind inviting a man as a train crewmate, a goblin was truly going way too far. No matter how open-minded you were, you wouldn’t invite soone from a race that literally had racial traits filled with red flags.]

[With the unanimous decision of the three of you, you waited for a minute for the summoning scroll to refresh its train crewmate candidate.]

[In the anti, you multiplied yourself by two and started looting the black market treasury and everything you could find valuable inside.]

[You also looked at the Hanged Rope with a hint prompt and discovered that it could be retrieved as long as one stayed for an hour within its range.]

[’Contrary to my expectations, the Hanged Rope is ownerless. But thinking about it, it’s understandable since none of the three gang leaders would accept soone’s spirit artifact being stationed inside the black market treasury.’]

[’If any of the gang leaders had owned the Hanged Rope spirit artifact, the other two gang leaders would vehently refuse having it stationed in the treasury. That would be like putting a Sword of Damocles above their head and even worse with soone owning it.’]

[’Since no one owned it and it was lethal, they decided to use it as a trap in the treasury. Moreover, due to the potent ability of the Hanged Rope, they might not have dared to stay within its range for more than half an hour, which is why they didn’t obtain its ownership.’]

[With that discovery, the three of you decided to stay longer in the black market treasury.]

[At least, the three of you planned to use the Train Crew Summoning Scroll in the black market treasury and wait idly as it refreshes the train crew candidates.]

[Soon enough, the hint prompt showed a new train crew candidate refreshed on the summoning scroll.]

{Hint Prompt: If you use the summoning scroll within this minute, you’ll be able to summon a Late Gold rank train crewmate. She’s a pure-blooded succubus who couldn’t learn dream magic, so she decided to do it in the real world. She’s very beautiful and can make any man co before her.}

[Informing Jade and Scarlet about the Hint Prompt you read, Jade imdiately responded strongly, "No! While I’d still choose her over the goblin champion, that’s only if I had to choose between the two. Since we have other options, our fourth crewmate will never be related to any races infamous for sex and disgusting cris."]

["And besides, I haven’t even taken your first yet. I can’t afford the risk of soone beating to it!"]

[Faced with Jade’s response, Scarlet didn’t disagree and rely nodded.]

[Knowing that they didn’t want a succubus as the fourth train crewmate, you waited for the refresh and didn’t disagree.]

[While Jade already knew that you would likely start a harem, she didn’t want to miss out on taking your first since she was the first one to beco your lover.]

[You didn’t mind and indulged her with that since it was rely a small matter, even if it was sothing major for her.]

[Anyway, no matter how beautiful that succubus was, you’d still prefer Jade over any of them as she’s your girlfriend and yours alone, while the other is a complete stranger.]

[Afterwards, the three of you waited for an hour. Your luck wasn’t that good, as most of them were Initial Gold and Mid Gold rank train crewmates, with none having any redeeming qualities.]

[You waited for too long that the Hanged Rope was already ready to be owned, so you let Scarlet have it.]

[After all, Jade could predict the future and would have less margin for error in triggering Hanged Rope’s killing chanism. On the other hand, you can use World Order and Royal Confiscation to literally make the Hanged Rope useless.]

[Only Scarlet didn’t have such counterasures, so giving it to her and letting her have immunity to it by virtue of being the Hanged Rope’s owner ant that none of you would be killed by mistake when it’s laid as a trap.]

[Another hour had passed, and there were still no good train crewmate candidates, which made Jade complain, "Without your Hint Prompt, this summoning scroll would have been a scam. To think it would take too long to find a suitable train crewmate."]

[Scarlet wryly chuckled, "Isn’t it due to us having a high requirent? There were like four Peak Gold rank ones, and while I had agreed to let them be our fourth train crewmate, you and Zayne refused since they didn’t have rule-based abilities or didn’t bring any auxiliary role value."]
