White Night subconsciously narrowed her eyes as the discomfort from the previous oiling instantly vanished.
“That… thank you, Auntie Frost.”
White Night’s voice softened, carrying a hint of dependency.
“I didn’t expect you to be so good at serving people… er, serving vehicles.”
Su Shuang’er smiled and wiped the sweat from her forehead. she brushed her hand against her pencil skirt before gently stroking White Night’s handlebars.
“Little White Night, I might be a bit older, but I know how to dote on people.”
“Auntie knows you’re no ordinary thing. I want to live with you from now on. You can’t be heartless and abandon me.”
“Auntie Frost, what… what are you saying? I won’t abandon you for no reason…”
White Night had never even held a girl’s hand in her past life, so she had no resistance against the soft, gentle words of such a beautiful woman. She became shy and flustered, stammering over her words.
Seeing White Night’s cute, bashful appearance, Su Shuang’er couldn’t help but giggle behind her hand.
Amidst this warm atmosphere, a mechanical yet pleasant voice rang out in both of their minds without warning.
[Ding!]
[Detected that ‘RV Driver: Su Shuang’er’ has performed the first basic maintenance on the RV.]
[The bond between the RV and the Driver has deepened.]
[Reward: RV Points +1.]
[Congratulations! The Level 1 RV System Mall has been unlocked.]
“?!”
White Night and Su Shuang’er were both stunned.
“Was that… the System? The RV System?” Su Shuang’er’s eyes widened in surprise.
“You heard it too?”
“Yes, I heard it.”
White Night’s spirits suddenly lifted, and her previous lethargy was swept away. She gave Su Shuang’er a brief explanation of the RV System.
“Quick, quick, White Night, see if there’s anything good in the mall. Points can definitely buy supplies.”
Su Shuang’er forgot about her hunger and followed the guidance in her mind, sinking her consciousness into the newly opened Level 1 Mall. A screen of light expanded, and a list of items appeared before their eyes.
However, in the next second, their hearts sank.
[Level 1 Mall List]
Compressed Biscuits (two): 1 Point
Clean Water (5L): 2 Points
Steel Dagger: 3 Points
Basic Fuel (10L): 10 Points
Glock 17 Pistol (includes 10 rounds): 50 Points
…
Looking at these prices, the light in Su Shuang’er’s eyes dimmed considerably.
“This is way too expensive…”
She looked at the pitiful “1 Point” in the upper right corner.
“We only have 1 point. We can’t even get many biscuits. Is this system a total rip-off?”
White Night was also envious but felt more discouraged.
“And getting them for me is useless anyway. I can’t eat biscuits, and I can’t use a dagger. I just want some high-grade engine oil or some parts that would let me transform into a motorcycle…”
‘System, besides these overpriced items, what else can I do with 1 point?’ White Night shouted in her mind.
The system’s response remained cold and mechanical:
[Reply to Host: Points can be used to purchase supplies, upgrade RV components, or unlock special functions.]
[Additionally, the Host or Driver can consume 1 Point for one ‘Daily Lucky Draw’.]
“A lucky draw?”
Both of them caught the keyword at the same time.
“Open the lucky draw wheel,” Su Shuang’er said urgently.
Whoosh!
A colorful virtual wheel materialized before them. The prizes on it were packed tightly together, making one’s head spin. White Night studied it carefully and discovered that the gap between the good and bad rewards was massive.
Nearly 40% of the area was white, consisting of [Thank you for playing] or [Trash Reward], such as a pretty stone or a broken shoe.
30% was blue, consisting of [Daily Supplies], such as a box of instant noodles or a bag of rice.
20% was purple, consisting of [Weapons and Equipment], such as machetes and protective vests.
Less than 10% was red, consisting of [Attribute Enhancement], such as a Strength Potion.
And the most eye-catching part was a gold line so thin it was almost invisible, with a probability of only 0.1%.
[Golden Legend: ???]
Gulp…
Su Shuang’er swallowed hard, though it was unclear if it was from hunger or excitement.
“White Night, do you think… we should gamble on it?” Su Shuang’er’s voice was a bit raspy.
White Night was silent for a moment before analyzing rationally, “By right, what we lack most right now is food. If we save our points, we can exchange them for guaranteed biscuits in a few days. If we do the draw and get that ‘broken shoe,’ we’re really going to starve to death.”
“But a box of biscuits won’t save our lives.” Su Shuang’er’s gaze was firm. “The outside is full of Weirdnesses. Just being full isn’t enough. We need weapons, we need to strengthen our power… and we need that golden thing.”
White Night was still hesitant. “But the probability is too low. I’ve had bad luck since I was a kid. I’ve never even won a free drink from a bottle cap.”
“Let me do it,” Su Shuang’er said suddenly, her tone carrying a wave of confidence.
“On the contrary, I’ve had great luck since I was a child. I’m an orphan and grew up in a foster home, but I always found money on the ground. When I was starting my business, I was on the verge of bankruptcy several times, but I always managed a miraculous turnaround at the last second. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met you right when I was about to die.”
Hearing this, White Night couldn’t help but complain, “If your luck is so good, how did you manage to run out of gas last night?”
“That was an accident! Just tell me if you want to bet or not!” Su Shuang’er said, getting a bit anxious.
“Fine, fine, you’re the lucky one. You’re the Gacha Queen,” White Night muttered. “Anyway, you’re the driver. If we starve, you’ll be the one to go first. I’m a hunk of metal, so I’m not afraid.”
“You little brat, you don’t have a single nice thing to say.” Su Shuang’er was so annoyed that she reached out and gave White Night’s seat a hard pinch.
“Ow!” White Night cried out. “It hurts, it hurts! Auntie Frost, is this what you meant by doting on me?”
Su Shuang’er froze. Looking at the seat cushion she was pinching, she hurriedly withdrew her hand.
“This is… a bike seat. You can feel pain?”
“That’s my stomach!” White Night shouted resentfully. “The seat is my stomach. You just pinched my soft flesh.”
“Oh, my dear Night, I’m sorry. Auntie was wrong…”
Su Shuang’er didn’t want to make White Night angry. She apologized while scanning White Night and the bicycle.
The seat was her stomach?
Then wouldn’t sitting on it be…
She realized she had been sitting on the seat the entire time they were escaping.
Su Shuang’er’s gaze drifted back and forth between White Night’s twin tails and the handlebars. She couldn’t help but imagine herself riding the bicycle, gripping the handlebars with both hands.
Her face instantly turned as red as a boiling teapot.
“I’m sorry, White Night.”
“But you were making fun of me earlier. I didn’t know this was your little stomach. It makes my heart ache a bit too.”
As Su Shuang’er spoke, she raised her hand to gently stroke the seat. Feeling Su Shuang’er’s gentle movements, White Night felt a bit embarrassed instead.
“If you do that again, I’ll be really mad,” White Night protested. She was clearly being played by Su Shuang’er; her angry expression looked more like she was acting spoiled.
“Alright, I won’t do it again. No more joking, let’s get down to business.”
Su Shuang’er looked at White Night’s soul form with its puffed-up cheeks and thought she looked adorable.
She almost wanted to reach out and pinch the girl’s face.
However, business was more important now. She tucked away her smile and looked solemnly at the wheel in the void.
“System, I want to do the draw.”
[Warning: Driver authority is insufficient. Authorization from Host White Night is required.]
“Auntie Frost, you need to understand who the master of this system is,” White Night huffed, but she still gave the command in her heart.
‘System, temporarily authorize Driver Su Shuang’er to perform the lucky draw.’
[Authorization successful. Consuming 1 Point. The wheel is starting!]
