Chapter 22: Overnight Riches! My Dorm Room Can't Hold Any More!

Inside Dormitory 404, faint moonlight spilled in.

Three women were busily occupied around the ever-changing 'mountain of supplies' on the floor.

"Sister Jiang, this... this is instant noodles!"

Liu Qiaofei widened her beautiful, large eyes, cradling a container of braised beef noodles in her arms.

In her left hand, she also held a can of cola, her face full of pleasant surprise.

"And this, it's happy water! My goodness, I thought I'd never get to drink it again in this lifetime!"

Yao Qingya, though not exclaiming loudly like her, also wore a barely suppressible smile on her face: "Fei Fei, keep your voice down, don't make too much noise and attract zombies."

Jiang Yuwan's tone carried a hint of urgency: "Hurry up and take them out, clear the slots!"

Though she urged them verbally, even she felt waves of excitement welling up inside as she watched the continuous stream of new supplies emerging from the virtual trading window.

At first, when Su Ze's first 'trade' came through, they were merely pleasantly surprised.

But as time passed, all sorts of diverse and varied supplies—

from food and drinking water to weapons, materials, and even daily necessities like camping pots and charcoal—

kept being traded over in an endless stream. Their pleasant surprise gradually turned into numbness, eventually evolving into deep astonishment.

How on earth did he manage this?

This question lingered in the minds of the three women, stubbornly refusing to fade.

Jiang Yuwan's heart was even more filled with mixed emotions.

She recalled how just a few hours ago, she had actively sought out Su Ze for the sake of a seemingly illusory three-star gift pack.

Looking at it now, that decision she made back then was probably the wisest choice she had ever made in her life!

What three-star gift pack? Compared to this real treasure trove of supplies before their eyes, it was simply not worth mentioning!

Yao Qingya looked at the supplies covering the floor, then thought of that figure shuttling through the darkness and hordes of zombies. An indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.

Admiration, dependence, heartache... All sorts of complex emotions intertwined,

imbuing the gaze she cast towards the door with a tenderness she herself hadn't even noticed.

As for Liu Qiaofei, she had completely become Su Ze's number one little fangirl.

In her simple world, Senior Su Ze was practically like an omnipotent deity, always capable of creating unimaginable miracles.

Like a happy little hamster, she tirelessly organized the 'treasures' bestowed by the 'deity,' practically bouncing with joy.

As time passed, the busyness of most of the night also left them feeling weary.

They piled most of the supplies together, while lighter items were temporarily stacked on the upper bunk of the bed.

"Sister Jiang, the bed... the bed seems like it's about to give out!"

Yao Qingya, looking at the lower bunk bed board slightly bent under the weight of various snacks and fabrics, spoke with concern.

The creaking sounds seemed to protest the unbearable weight of life it was enduring.

Jiang Yuwan glanced at it, her brow slightly furrowed.

She made a prompt decision, opened the Dormitory management interface, and selected 'Upgrade' for that bed!

[Ding! Consumed Wood material*30. Poor Quality·Lv.0 Rusty Metal Bunk Bed has been upgraded to Common Quality·Lv.1 Ordinary Bunk Bed!]

A flash of light passed, and the originally rusty metal bed was instantly replaced by one that looked considerably sturdier.

[Ordinary Bunk Bed]

[Level: 1]

[Defense: 5]

[Quality: Common]

[Durability: 20/20]

[Deconstruct: Can obtain Wood material*15, Iron Material*5;]

[Upgrade Path: Cannot be upgraded/For more upgrade paths, please obtain higher-level furniture blueprints;]

[Description: An ordinary bunk bed. At least it won't creak anymore, but you still shouldn't engage in vigorous activities on it.]

"Whew... That should hold up a bit longer now." Yao Qingya breathed a sigh of relief.

"Each of us will keep one slot in our backpacks specifically for receiving Su Ze's trades. The other two slots will be used for these bulky items or things with high duplicate counts, to help share the Dormitory's space pressure," Jiang Yuwan said.

Yao Qingya and Liu Qiaofei immediately nodded and began carrying out the plan in an orderly manner.

Constantly receiving, constantly taking out, constantly organizing.

For over three hours, they had hardly paused.

Just as they finished organizing the last batch of supplies and were about to take a short break, the Dormitory door was gently pushed open.

At that moment, a soft *click* sounded.

The Dormitory door was pushed open from the outside.

Su Ze's tall figure appeared in the doorway, bearing the weariness and dust of his journey.

He stepped into the Dormitory, then froze completely.

Good grief!

The entire Dormitory had almost no space left to stand.

Supplies of all kinds were piled up like mountains, stacked from the floor right up to the edge of the beds, cramming the already narrow space to the brim.

"You're back!"

"Su Ze!"

Seeing him, the three women all wore genuine smiles on their faces.

This was clearly a warehouse stuffed to capacity!

The space of less than ten square meters was completely jam-packed with various supplies, leaving almost no room to even set foot.

Various supplies were piled up against one end of the Dormitory, almost reaching the ceiling.

Under the beds, weapons and materials were crammed into every available nook and cranny.

Even the upgraded wooden upper bunk was piled high with lighter food items like instant noodles, potato chips, and ham sausages.

She pointed at the chaotic mess filling the room, explaining succinctly.

"I upgraded the bed, afraid it might break under the weight. In each of our backpacks, we've also taken on most of the bulky, duplicate items, leaving only one empty slot each to receive trades."

Su Ze nodded in satisfaction. This woman was indeed clever and capable.

"You've worked hard."

As he spoke, he focused his will.

*Rustle—*

Without giving the three women any time to react, an even more terrifying quantity of supplies poured out from his backpack!

Hemostatic bandages, antibiotics, compressed biscuits, bread, drinking water...

Instantly, the already scarce remaining open floor space in the Dormitory was completely submerged!

"Ah!" Liu Qiaofei let out a short scream. Losing her footing, she plopped down into the soft 'sea of bread.'

Yao Qingya and Jiang Yuwan also instinctively stepped back, leaning against the pile of supplies behind them. Their beautiful eyes widened, faces written with utter stupefaction.

There's... still more?!

Just how much is this?!

Jiang Yuwan looked at the supplies that almost threatened to bury them alive. Her usually cool face twitched slightly.

She took a deep breath and let out an annoyed huff at Su Ze: "We finally managed to organize everything, and now you've messed it all up again!"

Even as she said this, the mirth she couldn't quite hide in the depths of her eyes betrayed her true feelings at the moment.

"Su Ze, you... you must be exhausted?"

Yao Qingya, looking at Su Ze's slightly weary expression, spoke with heartfelt concern in her voice.

Only Liu Qiaofei, after the initial scare, became completely excited.

She simply lay down in the bread pool, rolling around happily like a child who'd received candy, letting out a string of silvery laughter.

The three women's completely different reactions made Su Ze also unable to suppress a faint smile.

The weariness from running around all night seemed to dissipate quite a bit at this moment.

He looked at them and slowly spoke.

"Don't rush. The surprise isn't over yet."

Then, under the curious gazes of the three women, he took out a scroll shimmering with a dazzling green light from his backpack...
