22: Master bedroom, guest bedroom

The originally cramped living area had vanished.

In its place was a complete, small-scale living space.

The entrance led into a small living room of about four square meters.

On the left was a two-seater sofa, and on the opposite wall was an embedded display screen.

It was likely an entertainment System.

Beside the sofa was a small coffee table, fixed to the wall and capable of being folded away.

Moving further in from the living room was a corridor.

There were two doors on the left side of the corridor.

The first door was open, revealing a kitchen inside.

It wasn't large, but it was fully equipped:

An embedded induction cooker, a small refrigerator, a microwave, a sink, and storage cabinets.

Qin Lin opened the refrigerator.

It was empty, but the power was on, and the indicator light was glowing.

Behind the second door was the bathroom.

It was much larger than at Lv1, featuring a toilet, a sink, and a shower cubicle.

Qin Lin looked at the control panel.

He clicked open the System interface.

【Climate Adaptation System】:

Adjustable interior temperature range from -80°C to 80°C; energy consumption reduced by 30% compared to Lv1.

【Elementary Water Production System】:

Automatically collects and purifies 5L of clean water from the air daily, stored in the fresh water tank.

【Disaster Early Warning Radar】:

Detects extreme weather changes within a five-kilometer radius, providing a one-hour early warning.

【Defense Upgrade】:

Reinforced vehicle body armor, capable of withstanding small-to-medium caliber firearm fire.

Bulletproof windows.

Four external cameras covering a 360° field of view.

【New Spaces】:

Master Bedroom × 1, Room No. 000.

Guest Bedroom × 1, Room No. 001.

【Theoretically, the Master Bedroom can only be occupied by the RV driver, i.e., the Host; passengers may only enter with the Host's consent.】

【The Guest Bedroom can accommodate a maximum of 2 people.】

Supermarket storage space 10% unlocked (includes 10% supplies).

Qin Lin went to see the bedrooms first.

At the end of the corridor was Master Bedroom No. 000.

According to the System, this was his exclusive room.

He pushed open the door; the interior was about eight square meters, with a large double bed taking up half the space.

The mattress looked very thick, and there were reading lights and charging ports at the head of the bed.

The room had an independent small bathroom with a shower.

Most importantly, there was a wardrobe, storage cabinets, and a bedside table.

It felt like a real bedroom.

guest bedroom no. 001 was opposite the Master Bedroom, slightly smaller at about six square meters.

Inside were two single beds in a bunk structure to save space.

It also had an independent bathroom, but it was smaller than the one in the Master Bedroom,

and it didn't have a shower function.

To take a shower, one would have to use the Master Bedroom or the public bathroom.

It was probably to conserve water.

So there couldn't be too many showers.

At least, that's what Qin Lin thought.

“Now... we have a place to sleep,”

Su Yuran whispered.

Qin Lin looked at her. “Do you want to sleep in the Master Bedroom or the Guest Bedroom?”

Su Yuran's face turned slightly red. “I... either is fine.”

Qin Lin didn't ask further.

He knew the answer.

Finally, he went to check the supermarket storage space.

Next to the kitchen, there was a door he hadn't noticed before.

He pushed it open, and inside was the original small supermarket.

The shelves were stocked with some supplies:

10 bags of rice, 5 kilograms each.

20 packs of Instant Noodles.

10 cans of various meats.

There were also some daily necessities: tissues, toothpaste, shampoo... “Are these... supplies from the supermarket?”

Su Yuran was surprised.

【20% of supermarket space Unlocked】

【Corresponding supplies obtained】

【For every additional female passenger in the future, there is a probability of unlocking 10% of the space and receiving gifted supplies, but the number of passengers must not exceed the number of beds in the guest rooms.】

A System prompt popped up.

Qin Lin understood.

The further unlocking of the supermarket space was a reward mechanism tied to the number of 'passengers'.

For every additional female member, a portion of the space would be unlocked and a portion of supplies gifted.

However, they could not exceed the number of beds in the guest rooms.

Meaning, with two beds in a guest room, only two passengers could stay.

Was this encouraging him to... expand the team?

He looked at Su Yuran.

The girl was checking the bags of rice, her face wearing the brightest smile he'd seen in days:

“We finally have rice. This RV is truly miraculous. So much food... it's enough to last us a long time...”

Qin Lin also smiled.

Indeed, the pressure of survival had instantly lessened significantly.

“Perhaps this world has just become miraculous.”

【Note: As the number of passengers increases, the driver can grant them permission to enter each area.】

“Oh, not bad!”

With all resources in his hands from now on, it would be much easier to manage.

“Then how can Su Yuran enter? Did I grant her permission?”

【She is the first female passenger and has developed a deep relationship with the Host. Access to all areas is granted by default; however, the Host can cancel this if they disagree.】

Qin Lin naturally didn't cancel Su Yuran's permissions.

He returned to the driver's cab to check the System Store.

This store existed independently of the RV's physical space.

The store interface was simple, divided into several categories:

Clothing, Food, Tools, Weapons, Medicine, and Special Items.

Prices were settled using survival points.

But he wasn't in a hurry to buy anything.

He wanted to see what was available first.

The clothing was mainly thermal wear, seemingly meant for dealing with the current climate, with prices ranging from 5 to 20 points.

Of course, there was also underwear and such; everything that should be there was there.

The food was no longer just Compressed Biscuits and canned goods.

Instead, there were more snacks, vegetables, meat, rice, and even fruit.

Prices ranged from 1 to 100 points.

The tools category had various survival gear, priced from 10 to 50 points.

Weapons... the cheapest item, a Fire Axe, cost 30 points.

There were even firearms; a pistol cost 200 points, with ammunition sold separately.

The medicine category included basic Medical Kits and Advanced Medical Kits.

It was essentially a multi-functional shopping mall.

The only thing was that it could only be viewed on the screen; one couldn't physically enter it.

“How do I get the things I buy from here?”

【After purchase, items will be automatically stored in the RV's supermarket space.】

“Truly miraculous!”

Qin Lin closed the store.

Now with the Lv2 RV, ample supplies, and the System Store,

his survival capability had improved by more than just one level.

This RV was practically his home now.

Outside the window, the sky was gradually darkening.

The driving experience after the upgrade was completely different.

The steering wheel was lighter, the visibility better, and the power more substantial.

Furthermore, the interior temperature was constant at 22°C, as comfortable as a spring afternoon.

Su Yuran sat in the passenger seat, watching the snowy landscape flash by outside, and suddenly said:

“Qin Lin, thank you.”

“Thank me for what?”

“Thank you... for letting me live.”

She turned her head, a light shining in her eyes.

“And for living... so well.”

Qin Lin smiled.

“This is just the beginning.”

Qin Lin looked ahead, his heart filled with unprecedented confidence.

Lv2 was only the starting point.

He would continue to upgrade and unlock more functions.

Exploring all the changes in this world... In the first hour after the RV upgrade was completed,

Qin Lin and Su Yuran admired the RV once again, like explorers in a new world.

The Master Bedroom (No. 000) truly lived up to the word 'luxurious'.

The eight-square-meter space was cleverly designed, with the large double bed placed against the wall, and embedded storage compartments and reading lights at the head.

There was a small desk by the window with power outlets underneath.

In the independent bathroom, the shower area used tempered glass for dry and wet separation, and there was even a shelf for toiletries on the sink.

The wardrobe was built into the wall, divided into upper and lower layers, with enough space for both of their seasonal clothing.

What surprised Su Yuran the most was that there was a small window in the Master Bedroom.

It wasn't a window on the sides of the vehicle, but a circular porthole on the roof, about thirty centimeters in diameter, made of double-layered bulletproof glass.

At the moment, the grey-white sky could be seen through it; if the weather were good, perhaps they could see the stars.

“It's like... like being on a ship,”

she said, tilting her head back.

Qin Lin was also looking.

The design of this window was very clever, ensuring privacy.

One couldn't see inside from the outside, yet it provided natural light and a view.
