Chapter 427: Host, You Didn’t Ask

[Moreover, one of the purposes of the time stop during an ongoing Doomsday Life Simulation was precisely for that reason. It is also a way to give the host the time to deal with the hostile entity who planned to target or kill you.]

[If one doomsday life simulation isn’t enough, the time stop can be chosen not to be lifted after the end of that doomsday life simulation. Instead, another doomsday life simulation can be started just after completing the previous one.]

[The continuation of doomsday life simulations only has the limits of letting the host attain a combat power that could ensure absolute safety against the hostile entity.]

[When the host gains sufficient power to deal with the impending threat, the time stop will be lifted, and the system will no longer activate doomsday life simulations autonomously. Of course, during this time, you can still choose to activate the doomsday life simulation by yourself.]

Receiving this answer from the system, Zayne was undoubtedly surprised. After all, he didn’t expect that the system had these features.

’System, how come I didn’t know this? When you informed me about all the available system features, this wasn’t included in it.’

[Host, you didn’t ask.]

’...’

’Fine, I somewhat expected such a response.’

Zayne was quite speechless, but he knew that the system would answer like that.

Knowing that Zayne wasn’t satisfied with its answer, the system elaborated.

[If the host has read system novels in his past life, which I’m certain you did, then you should know that top-tier systems like this system have the means to use emergency safety protocols to ensure the host doesn’t die.]

[For example, in most novels, the system will suddenly lend out a loan or something to the host and then the host will gain power to deal with the threat at hand.]

’Aren’t those just ass pulls made by the author to prevent the protagonist from dying? This is the real world, and there’s no such thing as plot armor. Unless it’s just luck, fate, and whatnot, which could indeed qualify as something similar to plot armor.’

It wasn’t that Zayne wasn’t aware of such stuff. After all, he was someone who had read a lot of novels, watched a lot of animation, and played a lot of games in his past life.

It was due to this reason that he was aware of such tropes and could even exploit his simulator system.

Regarding Zayne’s comment, the system responded.

[In fiction, it might be seen as an ass pull. But in most cases, it’s due to system-like existences such as myself saving energy, so that it can be used in times of need.]

[However, in some cases, it can also be the system expending its own energy that supported its existence just to save its host. It could be thought of as a trump card that the system had saved secretly just to deal with unforeseen circumstances. Systems without such means are definitely low-tier trash.]

[With this in mind, the host doesn’t have to worry about unforeseen dangers and insufficient power. The system has countermeasures against such problems.]

Receiving that assurance from the Doomsday Life Simulator System, Zayne indeed no longer worried about such problems.

While Zayne and Jade were staying inside the Zenith Train, the two of them patiently waited for the world update.

However, while they were waiting, when there were only five minutes left before the world update, Zayne received a hint prompt.

{Hint Prompt: It’s suggested for you and Jade to leave the Zenith Train and stay within Terra, in order to be detected by the World Will. Due to the Zenith Train’s Null Record Concept train sub-system, the World Will would have great difficulties in registering Jade and your existence.}

After he received that Hint Prompt, Zayne pondered, ’Hmm, the Zenith Train is indeed much stronger than the current World Will.’

’But just to be sure...’

Deciding to use the Hint Prompt by choice this time, Zayne soon received another hint prompt.

{Hint Prompt: Leave with confidence. The World Update isn’t harmful to you and Jade and is even greatly beneficial. You can also check just how much progress you’ve made after the world update progress settlement and even receive rewards.]

Receiving that assurance from the Hint Prompt, Zayne followed that hint and spoke up, "Jade, according to my hint talent, the two of us should leave the Zenith Train."

Without needing to be explained, Jade immediately understood why, "I see, the Null Record Concept is more powerful than I expected. It seems our train crewmates wouldn’t have to worry about being discovered."

Using his Train Conductor Sovereignty, Zayne teleported himself and Jade outside the Zenith Train.

Due to the zombie apocalypse, Zayne had already transformed most of the city he was in into a magic formation that isolated outsiders.

He had even relocated his college and those dormitories to the city that was under the Going Home Club’s management. Some of his schoolmates and classmates had joined the Going Home Club and worked for Henry and Alan.

After all, in some aspects, it was better to have someone familiar as their boss, especially when they knew that Henry and Alan’s personalities were commendable.

In other words, only Zayne and Jade lived in this city. Even the zombies, zombie animals, and mutated plants were all nonexistent, as they were killed by the magic formation he had placed.

The city was pretty much a ghost town with only him and Jade as the residents.

Zayne had parked the Zenith Train within the void under his home. So, when he had teleported himself and Jade outside the Zenith Train, they had both arrived in his home.

He hadn’t modified his residence because he wanted to determine what would happen to it after the World Update. Anyway, he and Jade weren’t sleeping here but inside the Zenith Train, so it didn’t affect the two of them.

While Zayne and Jade were waiting for the World Update to occur, several minutes soon passed, and the World Will of Terra soon released a global announcement!
