Super RV!

The first ray of morning sun sprinkled on the broken roof of the bus.

At this moment, the three people below the bus.

Chen Tong, Wang Meng, and Liu Yuqing, were staring intently at the giant golden light screen in the sky like three statues.

Anyone with an IQ higher than negative numbers could guess who "No Need to Say More" was at this moment!

As for Jiangnan...

He was expressionless.

[No Need to Say More].

Actually, before the system announced the rankings, that voice had privately asked him if he wanted to be listed under his real name "Jiangnan."

Jiangnan didn't even think about it and directly tapped [Reject].

What a joke?

In this era of exploding internet, who knows how many people are named Jiangnan.

He didn't want to be pointed at and gossiped about later, saying that the Server First big boss was a simp.

As for why he was called "No Need to Say More"?

It's very simple.

Because his words cost lives, and he would rather act than talk.

But compared to his calmness, the other three were different.

Wang Meng was trembling all over with excitement, his lips quivering.

"It must be the big boss! It's definitely the big boss, no doubt about it!"

Liu Yuqing covered her mouth, her eyes full of starry admiration.

"Server First... is actually right beside us? And they're tens of thousands of points ahead of second place?"

Chen Tong looked at the silent youth, and a storm raged in her heart.

No wonder he was so calm.

No wonder he disdained those crows.

So, he was already a man standing at the pinnacle of this world!

"Gulp."

The three exchanged glances, instantly reaching a tacit understanding without words.

In this collapsing order of the apocalypse, what was most important?

Not food, not water, not even superpowers.

It was a thigh!

A heavenly thigh, thick and strong enough!

The next second, the three stepped forward almost simultaneously, presenting the [Awakening Fruit] in their hands to Jiangnan.

"Big Boss! This is for you!"

Wang Meng bent at a ninety-degree angle, his tone extremely sincere.

"If it weren't for you, we would have turned into bird droppings last night. This fruit, only you are worthy of consuming!"

"That's right, Jiangnan."

Chen Tong also said softly, her eyes firm.

"Teacher's life was saved by you. This fruit... please accept it. Perhaps it can make you stronger."

Liu Yuqing didn't speak, only nodded desperately, holding the fruit with both hands.

Jiangnan looked at the three fruits before him, his eyebrows slightly raised.

He did not refuse.

In this small group, the right to allocate resources must be in his hands.

He reached out, calmly taking all three fruits and casually stuffing them into his pocket.

Seeing Jiangnan accept them, the three were not unhappy. Instead, they breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that he accepted!

By accepting, it meant he was willing to continue leading them!

However, after putting away the fruits, Jiangnan didn't rush to eat them, nor did he speak.

He jumped down from the hood and walked to the already riddled bus.

Compared to eating the fruit, there was a more urgent and important matter to attend to now.

That was, to build a real safe house.

Jiangnan flipped his palm, and the Rankings Reward Device appeared in his palm.

[Shelter Upgrade Device]

[Effect: Forcibly transform any building or vehicle into a mobile shelter.]

"Good stuff."

Without any hesitation, Jiangnan stood in front of the already dilapidated bus.

"Use."

The moment he silently recited the command, a dazzling golden light erupted from his hand, instantly enveloping the entire bus!

[Transforming...]

[Repairing vehicle body... Loading bulletproof armor... Upgrading power system... Optimizing internal space... Loading living module...]

Under the dumbfounded gazes of the three people.

The original dilapidated bus began to reassemble itself!

The blue and white sheet metal turned into matte alloy armor.

The shattered car windows of the cockpit were replaced by one-way bulletproof glass.

The chassis was raised, and the tires became six huge explosion-proof off-road wheels.

The previously precarious roof now had a miniature watchtower and solar power panels installed.

In just ten seconds.

It had transformed into a giant black RV full of post-apocalyptic sci-fi style!

"What... what the heck?! Is this the reward the Big Boss got?"

Wang Meng's jaw nearly hit the floor.

Jiangnan didn't explain, he waved his hand, signaling them to get in the car.

Walking inside, the original crowded seats had all disappeared.

In their place was a spacious living room with soft carpets, a leather sofa, and a thermostat air conditioner blowing 24-degree warm air.

On the left was a fully automatic integrated kitchen and a double-door refrigerator.

On the right was a wet and dry separated bathroom, which even had a bathtub for bathing!

And at the rear of the car was a luxurious Simmons bed, which made one want to sink into it just by looking at it.

"Heavens... this is practically a palace!"

Liu Yuqing was incredibly excited. "There's even hot water!"

Jiangnan was very satisfied with this.

He sat in the leather boss chair, took out the three fruits from his pocket, and threw them back to the three of them.

[Eat them quickly.]

He wrote on a sticky note, taking out his own fruit at the same time.

The three were startled, then overjoyed!

"Thank you, Big Boss!"

Without any hesitation, the four of them bit into the Awakening Fruits in their hands simultaneously.

The flesh melted in their mouths, turning into a warm current that surged through their entire bodies.

After eating the fruit, Jiangnan quietly felt for a while.

His body... had no changes.

Not even a fart.

[Notification: Awakening failed.]

[You have not obtained any Supernatural Ability.]

Seeing this notification, Jiangnan's face showed no disappointment whatsoever; he didn't even frown.

If he didn't get one, then so be it.

For him, who possessed the [Word Spirit System], so-called F-class, C-class, or even S-class supernatural abilities were just flashy extras.

"Word is law" was the true divine skill.

What he needed wasn't random luck, but absolute control.

Jiangnan casually tossed the fruit pit into the nearby Induction Trash Can, leaned back, and crossed his legs.

Compared to the failed awakening, what he was more interested in now was...

What could these three people bring him?

This would determine whether Jiangnan would take them along, or rather...

Their life and death.

A few minutes later.

Wang Meng and Liu Yuqing's bodies lit up one after another, clearly having awakened successfully.

"Buzz!"

A yellow light emanated from Wang Meng. He looked at his hands in surprise.

"I've awakened! [B-Class Mechanic]! I can repair any machinery and even perform simple modifications and reinforcements!"

Immediately after, a blue light flashed in Liu Yuqing's eyes. She pushed up her glasses and said excitedly, "I'm a [B-Class Appraiser]!

"I can see detailed information about items, and even the weakness of monsters!"

Two powerful support roles!

Jiangnan nodded with satisfaction. These were exactly the Tools he needed.

However.

Beside them, Chen Tong, after eating the fruit, waited for a long time but had no reaction at all.

Only her stomach rumbled twice.

"I... I think I..."

Chen Tong's face instantly turned pale, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

She had failed.

She hadn't awakened.

Looking at the excited Wang Meng and Liu Yuqing, Chen Tong suddenly felt like she had become the most superfluous person.

In this Apocalypse, having no Value meant being abandoned.

She looked at Jiangnan, her body trembling, her eyes red-rimmed, her voice choked with sobs.

"Jiangnan... I didn't awaken... Am I useless?"

"Will you... abandon your teacher?"

Although she was a teacher, in the face of survival, her Identity was worthless.

The atmosphere inside the Carriage instantly solidified.

Wang Meng and Liu Yuqing also dared not speak, as the decision rested with Jiangnan.

Jiangnan looked at the pitiful mixed-race Beautiful Teacher in front of him and remained silent for a moment.

Afterward, he picked up the pen, wrote a line on the memo paper, and handed it over.

Chen Tong took it with trembling hands, like a prisoner awaiting sentencing.

However, when she saw the words clearly, her entire being froze.

[I don't know how to cook.]

A simple five characters.

Chen Tong stared blankly for two seconds, then suddenly realized.

This was to keep her as the cook! It was also a form of acceptance!

"Wuwuwu... You scared me to death..."

The immense surprise and lingering fear impacted her nerves, and Chen Tong could no longer control her emotions, lunging towards Jiangnan.

She pulled his head into her magnificent embrace!

"Thank you! Thank you, Jiangnan!"

"Nng!!"

Jiangnan was instantly submerged by that astonishing softness, his nose filled with a milky scent, struggling to breathe.

Again?!

Liu Yuqing and Wang Meng, standing nearby, curiously leaned in to look. Upon seeing the words on the note, they both smiled.

"It seems the Big Boss is cold on the outside but warm on the inside," Wang Meng sighed.

"Yes, Jiangnan is actually very gentle," Liu Yuqing also nodded.

However, they were both wrong.

Jiangnan was muffled in Chen Tong's embrace. Although his face turned red, he didn't push her away.

Cold on the outside, warm on the inside?

No.

He was simply...

Repressing himself for too long.

For eighteen years, to save money for travel and find sign-in points, and to attend school, he had lived a life like an ascetic.

Now that the apocalypse had arrived, he was Server First. What was wrong with enjoying himself a little?

"Rewarding myself with a beautiful teacher, that's not too much to ask, right?"

After calming his emotions, he assigned tasks.

The cockpit was located at the front, a separate semi-enclosed space with a single bed.

Wang Meng was very understanding and voluntarily took his quilt to the cockpit.

"Uh, Big Boss, leave the rough work of driving to me! I'll stay in the cockpit and definitely won't disturb you!"

After speaking, he gave Jiangnan a knowing look and pulled the partition curtain.

Inside the carriage, only Jiangnan and the two female students remained.

"Jiang... Classmate Jiangnan, I'm going to experiment with my supernatural ability over there, so I won't disturb your rest!"

Liu Yuqing found an excuse and went to the corner to face the wall.

No one knew if she was really experimenting.

As the vehicle slowly started.

Jiangnan half-lay on the sofa, enjoying the thermostat air conditioner while checking the route on the smart control panel in front of him.

His left hand held a cola, while his right hand was restlessly placed on Chen Tong's thigh as she peeled an orange for him.

It was a firm touch developed from years of wearing professional attire, and combined with her wine-red long hair, it had a unique flavor.

"Ah~"

Chen Tong's body stiffened slightly, her face blushing to her ear roots, but she did not resist.

Instead, she obediently leaned closer to Jiangnan, letting him play with her.

She knew this was the price she paid and the guarantee of her survival.

At this moment, Wang Meng's voice came from the amplifier in front.

"Big Boss, which way are we going?"

Jiangnan looked at the smart control panel and casually typed a reply.

[Are you the driver, or am I?]

[Decide for yourself.]

In the cockpit, Wang Meng was startled when he saw this line of text.

"Uh... Is Big Boss that casual?"

He scratched his head.

But then he thought, no!

"How could a master strategist like Jiangnan make a casual decision?"

"He's testing me!"

"He's training my decision-making ability! He's cultivating me as a confidant!"

Wang Meng instantly convinced himself, moved to tears:

"Wuwuwu! The Big Boss is too good to me! I must perform well!"

Since he had to choose a path...

Wang Meng looked ahead.

To the left was the wilderness, and to the right was the boundary between the wheat field and the woods.

"Although there are footprints over there, and they look messy, since someone has walked there, it means the path is passable!"

"Someone has cleared the mines and scouted the path for us, it must be safer than running blindly!"

With this thought, Wang Meng hit the accelerator and drove towards the messy footprints, the direction Yang Wei and the others had left.

The RV sped across the wasteland, as if walking on flat ground.

However, after driving for a short while.

"Screech!!!"

A sharp braking sound echoed.

The immense inertia caused Chen Tong inside the carriage to exclaim and fall directly into Jiangnan's arms.

"What's going on?!" Chen Tong was still shaken.

"B-Big Boss!"

Wang Meng's hesitant voice came through the amplifier.

"Someone is blocking the car ahead!"

"It looks like... Yu Shishi?!"

Jiangnan frowned slightly, pushed Chen Tong away, and opened the front surveillance footage.

He saw on the dirt road dozens of meters away.

A disheveled figure, covered in dirt, stood with arms outstretched, blocking the middle of the road.

Despite the mud caked on her face, she could still be recognized as Yu Shishi.

She was barefoot, her shoes nowhere to be found, looking utterly miserable.

Seeing the bus stop, Yu Shishi's eyes erupted with ecstatic joy. She rushed forward, disregarding everything, and frantically pounded on the car door.

"Help! Help me!"

"Please! Let me get on!"

Inside the cockpit, Wang Meng watched the scene unfold. He felt a pang of pity, but his foot remained firmly on the accelerator.

"Big Boss... it really is Yu Shishi. She looks so pathetic, maybe..."

"Should I just run her over? Save you the trouble of dirtying your hands."

"Or should I grab her for you as a sleeping maid? She might still be usable after a wash."

Meanwhile, inside the carriage.

Jiangnan's mouth twitched.

No...

What kind of person does this Wang Meng imagine me to be?

Why is he making me sound like a demon?

How could I be so cruel?

At most, I'd just give her a quick end.

[Let's assess the situation first.]

He then typed a response, not ordering the door to open.

Instead, he turned to Liu Yuqing, who was leaning against the window, and pointed towards Yu Shishi outside.

The meaning was clear: use your skill.

"OK!"

Liu Yuqing immediately understood. She pushed up her glasses and activated [B-rank Appraisal].

A blue light, visible only to her, swept over Yu Shishi's body...
