30: It cost 69 survival points to buy clothes for Lin Wanwan.

"You're safe now," Qin Lin said. "This vehicle is mine, and you are both passengers. Here, as long as you follow the rules, you'll have food, shelter, and protection."

Lin Wanwan nodded vigorously.

"Thank you for saving me... I really... don't know how to repay you..."

"Focus on surviving first," Qin Lin interrupted her. "We can talk about repayment later."

He stood up. "Yuran, keep her company. I'm going to plan our route."

"Okay," Su Yuran nodded.

Qin Lin headed toward the driver's cab.

Closing the door, he leaned back in the seat and let out a long breath.

The Hidden Task was still there, like an unsolved riddle.

And Lin Wanwan's words, "don't know how to repay you," echoed in his ears.

Repay?

If she knew the specific details of that "repayment," how would she react?

Qin Lin shook his head, clearing away those stray thoughts.

Don't think about it for now.

Just take it one step at a time.

He opened the map and began to seriously plan the next route.

Outside the window, the wind and snow continued unabated.

Inside the vehicle, the fates of three young people were tightly bound together by an RV.

And in the future, even more unknowns awaited them.

Qin Lin sat in the driver's cab for about ten minutes.

He roughly mapped out the route for the next few days.

The weather station in the north of the city, the substation in the west, and the Hydrological Monitoring Point.

These places might all have temperature anomalies; they were worth checking out.

Of course, that was assuming the roads were still passable.

The snow was getting thicker, and some secondary roads might already be completely buried.

He put away the map and returned to the living area.

Lin Wanwan was still on the sofa, her emotions seemingly stabilized.

Su Yuran sat beside her, the two of them whispering to each other.

Seeing Qin Lin approach, their conversation stopped.

"Senior Wanwan's clothes are all dirty; she needs new ones."

Su Yuran spoke up.

"I have a few spares, but the size is wrong... She's shorter than me, and... well, her figure is different."

As she spoke, her face reddened slightly, and she glanced at Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan also felt a bit uneasy, tugging at the ill-fitting clothes she was wearing.

It was Su Yuran's sweater; it was indeed too big on her, and the collar hung loosely.

Only then did Qin Lin notice the issue.

Indeed, Lin Wanwan needed her own clothes.

She couldn't keep wearing Su Yuran's forever.

He had bought pajamas and underwear from the System Store before, so he knew there was a clothing section.

At the same time, a thought occurred to him.

Perhaps this could bring them a bit closer?

Qin Lin walked to the control panel on the wall and opened the System Store interface.

After a moment's thought, he didn't display it directly on the panel but chose to "Project to Living Room Screen."

The display screen on the living room wall lit up, showing the store interface.

Qin Lin found the clothing section and then applied a filter.

Only female casual wear, underwear, shoes, and socks were shown.

Everything else was temporarily hidden.

"Yuran, you help Lin Wanwan pick."

"Choose the right sizes; you two decide on the styles."

He didn't hide it; after all, this kind of thing was hard to keep secret anyway.

Besides, even more miraculous things might appear in the future.

Constantly trying to hide everything would be too mentally taxing.

It was better to let them know a little.

He shared the control permissions with Su Yuran.

The System allowed the driver to authorize passengers to use certain functions.

Su Yuran excitedly began to browse.

The variety of clothing in the store was very comprehensive, from underwear to coats, summer wear to winter wear, and even accessories.

The prices weren't expensive either: a regular T-shirt was 1-2 survival points, a pair of pants was 2-3 points, and a coat was 5-10 points.

"Senior Wanwan, what style do you like?" Su Yuran asked.

Lin Wanwan looked at the screen, still a bit dazed.

"This... what is this..."

"It's a function of the RV," Qin Lin explained simply.

"Similar to... an automated vending machine? You can exchange points for items. We get points by completing certain tasks."

He used the term "points" to avoid explaining the source of "survival points."

Lin Wanwan only half-understood, but she didn't ask further.

In the Apocalypse, there were already enough strange things.

An RV having a shopping function didn't seem entirely unacceptable.

"I used to... like wearing skirts," she said softly. "But it's so cold..."

"It's not cold in the car," Su Yuran said.

"The temperature inside is over twenty degrees; you could even wear a miniskirt."

As she spoke, she began to pick.

Qin Lin sat to the side, pretending to look at the map, but in reality, he was watching the screen out of the corner of his eye.

Then he saw the first outfit Su Yuran picked.

A yellow short skirt, the length above the knees, the fabric looking soft and draped.

White silk stockings, a thin style with a slight shimmer.

Small leather shoes, round-toed with a slight heel.

And then... Su Yuran clicked on the underwear section and scrolled through.

Finally, she selected a set of white lace-trimmed underwear.

Semi-transparent, with a sexy design.

Qin Lin: "..."

He felt his throat go a bit dry.

Su Yuran even turned her head to ask him:

"Qin Lin, how's this outfit? Does it look good? Senior Wanwan will definitely look great in it."

Qin Lin coughed.

"Are you... are you sure this is her usual style?"

"Yeah."

Su Yuran said as if it were obvious.

"Back during club activities, Senior Wanwan loved wearing short skirts with silk stockings; she looked especially good. As for the underwear... I'm guessing, but it should be about right?"

Lin Wanwan's face was already completely red, and she whispered:

"Yuran... don't..."

"Oh, Senior, what are you shy about?"

Su Yuran said with a smile.

"There are no outsiders here now. And you have to wear clothes anyway, so why not pick something you like?"

She continued picking.

She chose a few more sets: a pink nightgown, a camisole style that reached mid-thigh.

A set of loungewear, a loose T-shirt and shorts.

Also a few thick down jackets, sweaters, and pants.

These were for when they left the vehicle.

Finally, she glanced at the total price: 69.

Su Yuran hesitated for a moment and looked at Qin Lin:

"Is... is this okay? Is it too much?"

She knew, of course, that these clothes weren't free.

Qin Lin had said they needed "points" to exchange for them.

Although she didn't know the exact value of the points, they certainly weren't infinite.

Moreover... after spending this time together.

Su Yuran vaguely sensed that Qin Lin's ability to obtain special items was often related to "completing tasks."

Although Qin Lin hadn't said it explicitly, she wasn't stupid.

Now that they wanted to buy so many clothes, would Qin Lin agree?

Qin Lin glanced at the list.

69 points wasn't much for him now.

He had 496 survival points; spending 69 would leave 427, which was plenty.

Besides, these survival points had to be earned through the passengers, so spending a little on them was nothing.

And... he looked at the combination of the yellow short skirt and white silk stockings.

Then he looked at Lin Wanwan's delicate face and her D-cup peaks.

"It's fine," Qin Lin nodded. "Buy them."

He confirmed the purchase.

69 survival points were deducted.

Almost simultaneously, a faint sound came from the direction of the supermarket storage room.

"They're in the supermarket. Go get them. I'll buy a Hair dryer too; you can grab it as well."

Su Yuran stood up happily and walked toward the supermarket:

"Senior, go to the room and wait for me. You can try on the new clothes in a bit!"
