Survival on the bus in class, I'm the only boy in the whole class.

Just as Chen Qing was about to continue speaking, a system notification suddenly sounded in everyone's minds.

【全区播报：宝宝巴士是91区内第一个升级公交车的队伍，奖励全体成员1级50%经验包+1，奖励司机随机1级道具+1。】

Everyone was taken aback.

Yan Xia exclaimed in surprise, "There's even a reward?"

Wang Zihan whispered, "Are we the first players to upgrade our bus to level 2?"

It's day two in the game world.

Upgrading buses requires bus energy, which can only be obtained by dismantling other buses.

Therefore, conflict is unavoidable.

Chen Qing and his group did not have any conflicts with anyone; they simply found an abandoned bus and upgraded it by breaking it down for energy.

It was pure luck.

A system notification appeared, and each person's system backpack contained an additional Level 1 50% experience pack.

The Level 1 50% EXP Pack increases experience by 50% when used at Level 1.

Once you reach 100% experience, you can level up to level 2.

Everyone was at level 1. They had received a 50% experience bonus for level 1 after completing the task of delivering the funeral clothes to Tianhe Railway Station.

Therefore, everyone's experience bar is at 50%, and as long as you use an experience pack, you can directly break through to level 2.

Some people couldn't resist and were the first to choose to use it.

The experience bar was instantly filled, the level jumped to level 2, and the combat power reached 200.

The improvements brought about by the upgrade are clearly perceptible.

My limbs are stronger, my reactions are faster, the fatigue from running around is swept away, and even my breathing has become much easier.

The girls stretched their arms and legs, their faces showing a relaxed expression.

Yan Xia clenched her fists and jumped lightly twice on the spot, clearly feeling her body become lighter and her strength increased significantly.

She turned to look at Chen Qing, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Chen Qing, what is the random level 1 item you got? Take it out and let me see it."

Chen Qing was also very curious, so he opened the system backpack.

There was an extra dark red prop card inside, with fine patterns and a faint glow at the edges.

With a gentle squeeze, the card transformed into a red light in his palm, condensing into a long, black leather whip.

The whip is delicate, with a peculiar texture.

Chen Qing looked at the automatically popped-up item panel.

[Props: Succubus's whip.]

[Level: 1]

[Type: Allure item.]

[Description: After striking a target, a charm effect is applied, causing them to willingly submit to attacks and be unable to initiate attacks for a short period. The higher the target's level, the weaker the effect.]

He read the names and descriptions of the props to everyone, word by word.

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage fell silent for half a second, and everyone was stunned.

"A succubus's whip?"

"A seductive type...willing to be beaten?"

"This prop... is really weird."

Yan Xia's eyes widened in disbelief: "They actually sent you something like this?"

Chen Qing himself felt somewhat helpless, and gently held the leather whip in his hand.

"I already have talent and skills, so using these charm-type props wouldn't be very effective and would be a bit of a waste."

He looked around at everyone and said, "I'll pick someone to give it to; whoever finds it suitable will get it."

As soon as she said this, Yan Xia immediately took a step forward, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the whip, her tone clearly ingratiating.

"Chen Qing, give it to me, give it to me. I'll keep it for fun, and it can help everyone control the monsters."

Seeing her eager expression, Chen Qing shook his head almost without hesitation.

"No, if I give it to you, I'm afraid you'll secretly take it and hit me with it when I'm not looking at night."

Chen Qing's worries were not unfounded; given Yan Xia's personality, she really was capable of doing such a thing.

Yan Xia's face immediately fell, and she pouted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, do you think I'm that kind of person? Aren't we still brothers?"

A burst of laughter immediately erupted around them.

"You are it."

"We all think you are."

"Don't we know Yan Xia? She's a pure and simple old lady."

Someone suggested with a laugh, "How about... we give it to Han Qingxue?"

"Qingxue is a proper mature woman with a calm personality. She definitely wouldn't play around with it, much less do anything inappropriate to the class monitor."

"Yes, it's most suitable for her."

Chen Qing looked at Han Qingxue, who was fast asleep in the back row. She was sleeping soundly, and the fatigue of the past few days made her exceptionally quiet at this moment.

He nodded and made a decision: "Okay, then I'll give it to Han Qingxue."

"She's too tired right now, let her continue sleeping, I'll give it to her personally when she wakes up."

Chen Qing temporarily put the succubus's whip back into his system backpack.

Just then, Yu Ranran, who was holding potato chips, said, "Class monitor, open the regional chat channel and see, the whole region is talking about us."

As soon as Yu Ranran said this, everyone curiously raised their hands to bring up the area chat panel, and a dense barrage of messages instantly flooded the screen, making it dazzling to look at.

Chen Qing casually opened the regional channel, and as soon as he reorganized it, a screen full of shock, doubt and sour complaints came rushing at him.

"Holy crap! I just saw the whole area news broadcast, BabyBus??? What kind of name is that? Is it a kindergarten shuttle bus?"

"That's not the point. The point is, their buses have been upgraded to Level 2? We're still fighting tooth and nail for a bite to eat, and they've already upgraded? Seriously."

"Can someone explain what materials are needed to upgrade buses? What is bus energy? I can't find it in the trading market."

"Same question. Our whole team has been researching this all day, but what exactly is the energy source for buses?"

"Baby Bus... I'm dying of laughter! This post-apocalyptic survival story is so cute, even monsters wouldn't dare to bite it, hahaha."

Seeing the screen filled with uniform shock and questions, Chen Qing finally realized something.

Others had no idea how buses could obtain energy, or even what that energy source actually was.

They had no special eyesight, and no special instructions.

Only Chen Qing, with his talent, knew the answer in advance: the energy for buses could only be obtained by dismantling buses.

If they hadn't found that abandoned, unmanned bus, they would be stuck at Level 1, just like everyone else.

Chen Qing continued scrolling through the chat history.

"Have you noticed? As soon as the newbie protection period ended, the monsters outside became fiercer and more numerous, and they moved faster too."

"It was more than just ominous! We just encountered a fat ghost who rolled over like Mount Tai crashing down, denting the back of our car and almost causing it to overturn. Luckily, our driver was skilled and subdued the fat ghost."

"Uniforms? Where can I find uniforms?"

"Is there anyone who can save us? Our tires have been blown out by the ghosts, and we can't move an inch on the road. The ghosts are almost catching up with us. Someone please save us!"

"Don't underestimate the ghosts chasing us. They're chasing us like their lives depend on it. If we don't upgrade soon, we'll be caught up sooner or later, and who knows what will happen when we are caught up."

The messages were filled with despair and panic, a stark contrast to the relaxed and lively atmosphere inside BabyBus.

Chen Qing silently closed the regional chat channel and looked up at everyone.

"The situation is quite clear: the newbie protection period has ended, and not only have the number of monsters increased, but their aggression and speed have also improved across the board."

Yan Xia dropped her joking expression and clicked her tongue, saying, "Luckily, we upgraded early and still have pulse defense guns, otherwise our fate would probably be similar to theirs."

Wang Zihan nodded gently: "Baby Bus is now 40 speed, its defense has also been improved, and it even has automatic attack, so it's much safer."

At this moment, Wen Ting, who was driving, frowned and said, "Squad leader, there's a fork in the road ahead. Which way should we go?"
