Highway Survival: Unlimited Upgrades, School Beauty Begs for a Ride

Chapter 41 After not seeing her for years, she can't even call him "Mom" anymore?

Over the next few days, Lin Xuan headed towards the location designated by Shen Yufei, searching for treasure chests along the way. Occasionally, he would open the world channel to check on Zhao Gang, that clown. Compared to the previous few days, the guy had become much more restrained. The bounty was still hanging on the world channel, but the bounty amount had not increased.

However, Zhao Gang himself would occasionally blurt out some harsh words, sometimes uttering foolish remarks like, "Lin Xuan, you can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth," and "Not bad for today!"

After opening the last treasure chest on the road, Lin Xuan immediately got into the car. Now he had all the materials to upgrade the vehicle, and it was time to upgrade it again!

He couldn't even imagine what changes a Tier 5 vehicle would bring. "Upgrade!"

Lin Xuan tapped the screen and silently recited the command. A golden light emanated from the vehicle's center console, enveloping the entire interior. [Vehicle Upgrade in Progress — Estimated Time: 60 minutes. The vehicle cannot move during this time. Please ensure your location is safe.]

The carriage began to transform under the golden light, its interior space expanding rapidly at a visible pace. This wasn't the gradual expansion of the previous ones, but a qualitative leap. The entire interior was enlarged several times over, with three rooms gradually taking shape in the golden glow. The master bedroom was at the far end, with two secondary bedrooms on either side of it. Both were fully equipped, possessing almost everything one could need for daily life, including a dressing table and a bathroom. In addition, the living room expanded out in the area between the three bedrooms and the driver's seat, more than twice as wide as before. A large L-shaped sofa was placed against the wall, giving off a very noble feeling. An hour later, the golden glow gradually dissipated.

Upgrade complete! Wuling Sunshine (Level 4) → Wuling Sunshine (Level 5)

[Performance Upgrades: Top speed increased from 150 km/h to 180 km/h; durability significantly improved; fuel tank capacity significantly increased; defense level significantly improved.]

[New feature: Air recirculation self-regulating system, which can maintain a constant temperature and humidity inside the vehicle under extreme weather conditions.]

Lin Xuan looked at the notification that popped up on the screen, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up. Top speed 180 km/h, air recirculation self-regulating system, three bedrooms and one living room.

This is real life!

"Yay, I can sleep in the same bed with my brother from now on!"

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao jumped up from the passenger seat, kicked her black-stockinged legs against the seat, and leaped forward, grabbing Lin Xuan's arm with both hands. Her twin ponytails swung back and forth behind her head, and she exuded an undisguised excitement.

"screw you!"

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes at her and said, "You sleep yours, I'll sleep mine!"

"don't want!"

Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, then glanced at the people in the back row. "Look, Ye Ning'er sleeps with her mother, Su Ran and Su Nian sleep together, so the last room is for you and me, isn't it?"

She blinked and smiled.

"I'm sleeping in the driver's seat!"

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, and after a long pause, he managed to squeeze out a single sentence through gritted teeth: "Hmph!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao pouted, her face full of resentment. She stretched out her black-stockinged foot and gently kicked Lin Xuan. "Actually, this young lady doesn't really want to sleep with a shut-in brother like you!"

Lin Xuan didn't continue arguing with the girl. After all, no matter how much he argued, he would always be the one who suffered. He might as well just ignore her!

Then, he opened the map and took a look. Today was the seventh day as agreed, and he was only thirty kilometers away from the destination he had agreed to meet with Shen Yufei. It seemed he had to hurry!

Thinking of this, he immediately stepped on the gas, and the level 5 bread truck launched itself and shot off. The feeling of being pushed back in his seat was incredibly exhilarating!

Soon, the 30-kilometer distance was covered in less than ten minutes at a speed of 180 miles per hour, and then a line of green text popped up on the central control screen: "You have arrived near your destination."

Lin Xuan slowed down and looked at the road ahead. He saw three vans parked on the right side of the road. The vans were clean and tidy, with shatterproof windows and reinforced tires. They were clearly not ordinary players' vehicles.

At the same time, two women in black trench coats, reaching to their calves, stood beside the car. One had short hair and wore sunglasses, while the other had long hair, delicate features, and a tall figure. She was Shen Yufei, whom they had met at the service area earlier.

She still had that languid look, one hand on her hip, the other holding a bottle of mineral water, her long, wine-red hair swaying gently in the wind.

Lin Xuan parked the car at the edge of the open space, turned off the engine, and removed the key.

He glanced at the passenger seat and the people in the back, "You guys wait in the car, don't get out."

He still didn't know what the Black Rose's president was up to, so he had to be careful. After making sure that he had enough Desert Eagle ammunition at his waist, Lin Xuan immediately opened the car door and got out. At this moment, Shen Yufei raised her head, her lazy gaze falling on his face, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up.

She brushed aside the black hair that used to fall across her forehead and walked towards him with a charming expression. "Mr. Lin Xuan, it's been a long time."

The voice was still languid, like a cat's paw scratching at my heart.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

Lin Xuan nodded.

Shen Yufei stopped in front of him, a slight smile playing on her lips. "The president is waiting for you in the car."

As she spoke, she turned to the side and gestured for the bread cart in the middle to proceed.

Lin Xuan followed her toward the bread truck.

As she walked to the car, Shen Yufei reached out and opened the back door, then stepped aside.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, please!"

Lin Xuan nodded, subconsciously touched the Desert Eagle at his waist, and then stepped inside. The space inside the vehicle was much larger than he had imagined, not the space of an ordinary van. It must have been upgraded to level five. After all, he was the president of Black Rose, so it wasn't too surprising that he could upgrade the vehicle to this level in such a short time!

His gaze swept across the living room and landed on the woman's back in the middle of the car.

She sat on the sofa, facing him sideways, wearing a long black dress that revealed a section of her fair skin at her ankles.

Long black hair cascaded over her shoulders, the ends slightly curled. Lin Xuan stared at the woman's back, feeling a strange sense of familiarity. Then, the woman turned around, and when he saw her face clearly, Lin Xuan's pupils constricted sharply, and he felt as if he had been nailed to the spot.

He knew that face all too well: slender eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth with a hint of a half-smile—exactly as he remembered it. "You—"

Lin Xuan stood there, momentarily at a loss for words. The woman brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead, her gaze lingering on Lin Xuan's face before scrutinizing him closely. A slow smile crept onto her lips. "Years have passed, and you've forgotten how to call me 'Mom'?"
