"What are these for, Sister?" Little Carlos asked, curious.
"These are your train tickets. You can use them to travel on the train you just got off, and it's very nice to have." Aria explained in much simple words, not wanting to make things complicated these younger ones.
"Let's go. Let's see the cashier booth, and show them the great things you have here." Aria happily took both of their little paws as she hummed a cheerful tune, a bit excited to see what these premium cards could do.
Fluff Ball System: "...."
They walked not so far, as the cashier booth was just near the platform.
Aria went inside, letting the children wait outside, and had their premium card tickets tapped on the advanced computer.
After just tapping, the details of the owner of the premium tickets appeared.
Aria whispered to herself, "Wow," again in her heart as she read the details.
Premium Heavenly Train Card Ticket
Owner: Lucas Micaso
Age: Nine years old

Family: 1 alive brother, 1 alive father, 1 alive mother
Expiration: 364 days left (1 year)
Good Heart Points: 5000

Etc...
5000 Credits?
So, these two young brothers have money.
These cards are not just ordinary tickets, eh.
They really have money!
Why do they have it, while she doesn't even have this fortune?
Aria would like to have a one-on-one talk with the Fluff Ball System.
Details for Lucas and his younger brother were just the same, only the 5000 credits and 5000 Good Heart Points made Aria more interested in these cards.
Good Heart Points: 5000.
"System, what's this?" Aria pointed to the monitor, silently wondering what her Good Heart Points were, and if she could look them up too.
"The good heart points of the human being in this world, and 5000 are high-level points and the lowest level points are 500."
"High level? Do you mean they're actually the highest?" The Fluff Ball System didn't have a face to nod, but it confirmed Aria's confusion with a detailed screen.
Good Heart Points: It tells the person's good heart from it's kindness, morals, and ideas to the world.
[Points Level]
6000-10000: Very High Level
4000-5000: High Level
3000-4000 : Medium High Level
1000-3000: Medium Level
10-500: Low Level
"With their Good Heart Points, the humans of this world can use this to have a certain level of access to the Host's Heavenly Train Station. The higher the good heart points of the person, the higher their credits and perks in the Heavenly Train."
"Oh... it's typically a good thing if they're higher-level points." Aria understood, not completely grasping how it worked deeply, but she took it in her mind as a kind of VIP access system.
The higher Good Heart Points, the more access.
What strict regulations, she thought.
Since Lucas and Little Carlos were her first set of passengers for the train, this was the first time she saw these details.
Aria let go of her curiosity for now and asked where they could use the credits.
"Passenger of the Heavenly Train Station can use their credits in their tickets to buy important things in the Heavenly Train Mall Stops or use the train premises accordingly to what they needed."
"Mall Stops? Does this train have such an advantage?" Aria's eyes brightened, full of curiosity and excitement.
Looking at the storeroom filled with shops, it felt like she was back in her normal world.
Isn't it exciting!
"Please complete the tasks and upgrade to let the passengers enjoy the good life."
"Geez, you're such a stingy system. How can I let these two poor kids eat now? Just look at their pitiful faces, they seem so hungry."
"Sister~ Sister, who are you talking to?"
Little Carlos stood on his little shoes, trying his best to see what the gentle sister was doing inside the booth.
"Just a moment, little one. You go to your brother first."
"Oh… okay." Little Carlos nodded, wanting to be obedient to the gentle sister.
Lucas sat silently, took his younger brother next to him, and waited like good children.
They once heard from the old man in the base that good kids were more likable than bad kids.
Good kids were loved and given food by adults.
Lucas wanted to try that, so he sat quietly and watched the gentle sister work on the computer.
"Wishing Stop Station is the first station. As soon as the passengers enter the train and it departs on schedule, the Train Mall Stops will be opened. If the Host upgrades, the next stations in other places can also be opened." The Fluff Ball system explained.
"Oh, that's so easy?" Aria muttered.
"If the stationmaster upgrades, it will be easier to open the other stations."
Speaking of upgrades, Aria's task was to schedule the departure of the train.
She had already done that earlier by using the GMT+8 timezone. The train would start running at 5 a.m. and stop at 10 p.m., just like a normal train in her original world.
For the Wishing Stop Station, the normal operating hours would only be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., with two hours reserved for maintenance checks.
Fluff Ball approved the arrangements and didn't say much more.
It only said the Host could get more train wagons once she leveled up and earned more perks.
"Sister, sister?"
"Ah yes, little one?"
"How did sister know my name?" Lucas asked, curiosity flashing in his eyes.
They remembered they hadn't told her their names yet.
"Ah, it's written on these cards, look." Aria handed them their ticket cards, pointing to the printed name at the bottom.
The children were amazed.
Even though they couldn't read, they believed the gentle sister.
"Sister, who are you? Are you an angel?" Lucas seriously stared. "Are we…"
"Nope, you're not." Aria cut him off quickly, already guessing what the older boy wanted to say. "I'm not an angel, but you can call me Sister. Inside here, you're safe from mutant monsters outside."
"Sister...then ...can we stay here?"
"Of course, you can stay for a while, but not forever. Trains are meant for transportation, not as a living place." Aria led them forward toward the platform, her voice patient as she explained to the brothers.
"But we have no place to go." Lucas's voice wavered as he glanced outside the building, his eyes full of reluctance.
The mutant monsters were out there.
They didn't want to become food for those creatures.
"You will have a new home." Aria reassured softly.
"This place is amazing, magical. With these cards, finding where to go will be easy."
