Kagashi’s gaze subconsciously swept over the several people.
What met his eyes were their clean appearances, now fully outlined by the tight system garments.
He involuntarily glanced at their slender necks and fair shoulders, highlighting their sudden vulnerability.
Then he suddenly snapped back to his senses and gave himself a hard pinch.
Amidst this awkwardness, there was also a hint of unspeakable panic.
After all, the four girls before him were beings he had only ever seen on a screen.
Yet at this moment, they appeared before him in such a disheveled and intimate manner, trapped in the same small space.
Furina frowned and muttered to herself: “Train Crew?
World Mission?
My abilities have been sealed?”
Yoshino looked up, her eyes filled with confusion: “Train Conductor, do we have to complete missions to unlock our abilities?”
Kagashi said: “In a transmigration situation like this, shouldn’t we be awakening Superpowers?
Have none of you awakened any Superpowers?”
Hearing Kagashi’s words, they all closed their eyes.
They concentrated on sensing their own power.
A moment later, they first shook their heads in unison, looks of disappointment appearing on their faces.
But in the next second, they all nodded, a faint light appearing in the depths of their eyes.
This contrast left Kagashi completely baffled.
“There are no new Superpowers.” “However, it’s not that we have no abilities; they’re just heavily sealed, and we can only use a tiny bit.”
Furina was the first to speak, raising her hand to gather power.
A faint moisture appeared at her fingertips, and a small orb of clear water slowly emerged.
It was only about the amount of a cup of water, and it wobbled slightly as soon as it formed.
“See, I can only condense this much water right now.
Any more is impossible.”
Misaka Mikoto also frowned and raised her hand, a weak spark of electricity flashing at her fingertips.
“I can only produce this much current right now, barely enough to light up a small few-watt bulb.
It’s about the same as when I was Level 1.”
Yoshino timidly raised her hand.
A moment later, a cup’s worth of water was frozen into small ice cubes.
She said softly, “I…
I can only freeze this much.
I don’t have the strength for any more.”
Roxy also gently raised her hand, and a tiny flame flickered at her fingertip.
It could barely illuminate an inch around her finger.
She said gently: “My magic is also heavily suppressed.
Right now I can only produce this much fire; it’s barely enough for warmth.”
Kagashi looked at the weak abilities they displayed.
He understood instantly.
Their abilities weren’t completely locked away, but they weren’t much different from ordinary people.
He dithered for a moment, then couldn’t help but complain: “So with these abilities of yours, for now, you can only boil water and have something hot to drink.
At least you won’t have to drink cold water; it happens to meet the basic needs of the apocalypse.”
Furina bit her lip.
She spoke first, her tone carrying a hint of defiance: “Then what Superpower does our grand Train Conductor have?”
Misaka Mikoto also looked up: “That’s right, aren’t you the Train Conductor?
Why don’t we see you show off your ‘special ability’?”
Suddenly, a cold mechanical voice rang in Kagashi’s mind: [Ding!] [The system is here!] [beauty lottery system binding…] [Binding successful!] [For every female crew member that joins the train or interacts with the Train Conductor, you will receive one gacha pull.] [Rewards include heaven-defying resources, Superpowers, magical items, etc.] [System has detected a total of 4 crew members.
You currently have a total of 4 gacha pulls!] [Train Conductor, would you like to perform a gacha pull immediately?]
Talk about perfect timing.
Not bad at all, not bad at all!
The Beauty System.
Holy moly, this is awesome!
Kagashi was ecstatic.
Without the slightest hesitation, he thought to himself: “Pull!
Pull right now!”
[Ding!
Gacha pull starting!] [Randomly selecting reward…] [This gacha pool includes: various Superpowers, magical items, rare bloodlines, heaven-defying resources, etc.
Randomly filtering…] [Filtering complete!] [Congratulations Train Conductor Kagashi, you have received the reward: ‘Favorability Holy Body’ (Passive Superpower)!] [Favorability Holy Body: Comes with an exclusive Favorability Aura that applies to all crew members.
It causes them to unconsciously develop feelings for you during your interactions, eventually leading them to truly fall in love with the Train Conductor.] [System Note: Don’t secretly wonder if you’re just being narcissistic; this time it’s for real.
It’s a genuine emotional bond, not a hallucination!]
The moment the reward arrived, Kagashi felt a warm current instantly surge through his entire body.
His temperament also quietly changed; his original awkwardness faded, replaced by a charm that made people feel inexplicably close to him.
The gacha pull was an instantaneous action.
Kagashi looked at the curious and somewhat defiant gazes of the four people before him.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he spoke slowly: “My Superpower…” He paused, building up the suspense.
He continued: “…gave me the ‘Favorability Holy Body’.” “As we spend time together, you will unconsciously fall in love with me.”
As soon as these words were spoken, awkwardness once again flooded the carriage.
The four girls’ faces instantly turned beet red, their eyes darting away, not daring to look directly at Kagashi.
Furina’s cheeks were so red they looked like they might bleed, and she subconsciously turned her face away.
Her tone was flustered yet stubborn: “Wh-what!
Who would fall in love with you!
How could such a Superpower even exist!” Despite her verbal rebuttal, her heart rate accelerated uncontrollably, and even the tips of her ears were flushed red.
Yoshino buried her face directly into her knees, her ears burning hot.
She murmured in a voice as thin as a mosquito’s buzz: “N-No, that won’t happen~” Her voice was full of shyness, and she didn’t even have the courage to look up.
Misaka Mikoto frowned and gave Kagashi a feigned angry glare: “I’d never fall for a guy like you!
This is absolutely ridiculous!” But her fingertips curled up involuntarily, and a strange feeling unexpectedly welled up in her heart.
A faint blush appeared on Roxy’s cheeks.
Her gaze was gentle yet shy as she shook her head lightly: “Train Conductor, I…
I just want to unlock my abilities as soon as possible.
To complete the commissions.
I haven’t thought about anything else yet.”
Kagashi looked at their shy, duplicitous expressions.
He couldn’t help but feel a bit amused.
It seemed this ‘Favorability Holy Body’ had already quietly begun to take effect.
Especially in their current compromised attire, they were so shy their entire bodies felt flushed with embarrassed heat.
This time, they truly didn’t dare to steal a glance at Kagashi; even an accidental meeting of gazes would cause their cheeks to explode in red, making them hurriedly look away.
That trace of unusual affection in their hearts also began to spread quietly.
Looking at the four girls with their shy, flustered faces, Kagashi was also feeling incredibly stifled, grumbling to himself: Let me ask you, if it were you…
With four girls as beautiful as flowers before you, sitting in such tight outfits where every subtle movement highlighted their figures…
Who wouldn’t feel stifled in this situation!
Even though their hearts were filled with strange feelings, they still stubbornly argued back.
The contrast was adorable; anyone would find it hard to remain unaffected.
He had to recall the taste of every bitter melon he’d ever eaten…
recalling all of it…
just to barely suppress his natural urges.
Just as Kagashi was forcibly suppressing the embarrassment in his heart…
A cold mechanical voice rang out again without warning.
[Ding!] [Train Conductor currently has remaining gacha pulls: 3!] [Would you like to continue pulling for rewards?]
Kagashi’s whole body shook, and his eyes instantly lit up like lightbulbs.
You’ve got to be kidding!
I already made a killing just by pulling the Favorability Holy Body, and now I have three more chances!
How could I pass this up?
He didn’t hesitate for a single second, roaring directly in his mind: “Yes!
Continue pulling!
I must pull!”
[Ding!
Gacha pull initiated!
Randomly selecting resource-type reward…
Filtering complete!] [Congratulations Train Conductor Kagashi, you have received the reward: [Baixiang Instant Noodles (Unlimited Version)]!] [Ding!
Detected that the Train Conductor chose to continue pulling.
Reward has been issued!]
As soon as the voice finished, instant noodles printed with the word ‘Baixiang’ were precisely stored into Kagashi’s exclusive system inventory slot.
Every pack was intact, and the production date was clearly visible.
With a thought, he called up the system inventory interface.
Looking at the unlimited instant noodles sitting quietly in the slot, his eyes were full of joy.
He said to the four of them: “You don’t believe in the Favorability Holy Body.
Well, my Superpower also includes an unlimited supply of Baixiang Instant Noodles.
Do you believe me now?”
Kagashi crouched down and pulled a pile of instant noodles directly from his system inventory.
He piled them in the middle of the carriage like a small mountain.
He was so ecstatic he nearly jumped for joy.
He hurriedly asked the system in his mind: “System, is this ‘unlimited’ really infinite?
There’s no expiration date, right?”
[Ding!
System confirms:] [[Baixiang Instant Noodles (Unlimited Version)] is a permanent, unlimited supply item with no expiration date and no depletion.
The Train Conductor can summon any quantity at will.]
The moment he received confirmation, Kagashi almost laughed out loud.
This was just too overpowered!
Right now, it was a start where even basic food had to be rationed.
These unlimited instant noodles were simply a ‘survival artifact’ delivered right to his door!
He deliberately waved a pack of instant noodles he had just pulled out of thin air.
He shook it at the four girls who were still blushing and didn’t dare to look up: “Ahem, don’t just stand there being shy; look at what other good stuff I’ve pulled.”
