Chapter 21 Double Bed
"Alright! I'll listen to you this time." Seeing how expectant she was, and considering that her size meant she wouldn't have an easier time sleeping in the cramped passenger seat than he would, Kenji Hagiwara glanced out the window. Seeing that everything was still peaceful and no monsters had appeared, he agreed.
After he agreed, Feng Xingshou quickly left behind the materials needed to expand the car body and produce the sofa bed. After putting away the other materials, he got out of the car with Hagiwara, who was still on guard with a gun, and waited for the expansion of the car body to be completed.
Less than two minutes later, Feng Xingshou had finished expanding and upgrading the carriage, even producing a sofa bed, which he then transferred into the vehicle using his backpack space. He was now excitedly waving at Hagiwara through the window: "Come on in and try it out!"
"...This is an unexpected development! It looks like the area has been expanded by about nine square meters?" After getting into the car, Kenji Hagiwara saw her excited expression and raised his eyebrows in surprise. But when he got in and saw what was going on, he was stunned.
Because the car looked completely unchanged from the outside, but the interior had changed drastically. The rear seats, which originally had only two narrow seats and were only about one meter in diameter including the car body, were now three meters long.
Furthermore, the distance between the rear seat and the driver's seat back is three meters, and the car is also three meters high. It can be said that the entire rear seat is not only suddenly much more spacious, but also high enough that he can stand up directly inside the car.
Including the original rear seats, the area is almost nine square meters. Right next to the rear seats, a folding single sofa bed has been placed there. It can be folded up to be a sofa and unfolded to be a bed.
He exclaimed in surprise, "I thought the space expansion mentioned in road survival novels was just the authors' wishful thinking. I never expected that this technology actually exists in reality."
Hearing his surprise, Feng Xingshou expressed her even greater astonishment: "Do you know what kind of blueprints I obtained? They are low-level single-sided expansion blueprints. When expanding, the vehicle is expanded by one meter on each side to achieve this effect. Just think, if a low-level blueprint can expand to about nine square meters, what would a mid-level or high-level blueprint look like?"
"Could it be expanded into a large single-level house like in some light novels? If it could be upgraded to that size and brought back to Earth, we could just drive it every time we went camping! It would be like a super RV!" Kenji Hagiwara said, expressing the thoughts of Kazesei-no-Kami as if they were written all over his face.
But in my mind, I still saw a small car model that was only one meter wide outside, and the space inside the car was just like before. I realized that this must be the space folding technology that scientists had envisioned, and I felt once again that this road game really did have powerful black technology.
"This game is very economical, it definitely won't let us take it!" Feng Xingshou didn't think about any technological issues at this time, but was very self-aware of the game's style, so he just indulged in some wishful thinking.
He patted the sofa bed and asked him, "By the way, how tall are you? This sofa bed is about one meter wide and two meters long. It should be enough for you to sleep comfortably. You'd better go to sleep! Be careful not to turn into a panda if you stay up all night again!"
"What's wrong with pandas? They're quite cute!" After hearing her say that, Kenji Hagiwara immediately expressed his dissatisfaction that there are no haters for pandas in the world, but he noticed the somewhat fierce look in Fuu-chan's eyes.
He immediately replied with great tact, "I'm 1.93 meters tall, so the sofa bed is enough for me. But this is indeed a pleasant surprise. I thought that if I wanted to get a good night's sleep in the car, I would have to upgrade the vehicle to a larger one to have enough space to rest!"
Surprisingly, the way they increase interior rest space instead of increasing the vehicle's size is unexpected. It seems the vehicle upgrade path in this game is hard to predict!
"Anyway, no matter which direction it goes, our Earth's authors wrote about all of these things a few years ago when they were writing game novels like Meteor. There are assignments to copy." Feng Xingshou said as he took out a set of bedding from his backpack space and spread it on the single sofa bed.
Seeing this, Kenji Hagiwara thought of what she had just said and said disapprovingly, "You don't need to make my bed. I can sleep in the driver's seat. You arrived earlier than me and haven't had a proper rest for a longer time. You can rest in the back, and I'll sleep in the front seat."
"It's alright! I sleep well, I can sleep soundly no matter where I am. You should take this opportunity to get some rest!" Feng Xingshou tapped his eyes to indicate to him, "Although I don't know much about cars, I do know the term 'drowsy driving.' How can you not get enough rest and be fully refreshed!"
.
"Heh... I never thought I'd get lectured by Kaze-chan!" Hagiwara Kenji was slightly taken aback after hearing this, then realized what was happening, turned on the taillights of the car behind him, and looked down at his face in the rearview mirror.
He was also taken aback by the dark circles under his eyes, and coughed slightly, a little embarrassed: "It's only been two days... I used to stay up much longer assembling models with Xiaozhen! It's only been..."
"Shut up, you have no right to refuse when your dark circles haven't even gone away yet. Go and get some rest." Seeing that Hagiwara was still dawdling over such a small matter, Feng Xingshou immediately interrupted him.
"Ahem... then I'll sleep here tonight." Kenji Hagiwara originally wanted to argue, but when he saw Kaze glaring at him with a somewhat fierce tone, he inexplicably changed his mind.
When he obediently sat down on the sofa bed, ready to lie down, he belatedly realized, "Huh? I've never been this obedient, not even with my sister! Why didn't I try to argue again? It seems like I was kept in check by Feng-chan!" -_-||
But looking at the much more spacious trunk than before, and then at the cramped driver's seat, he just couldn't accept that he was enjoying himself while the woman he liked was being wronged.
He subconsciously looked around the entire interior of the car, and then his eyes lit up when he saw the back seat. As he got up and removed the back seat, he said to Feng Xingshou, "Feng-chan, make another sofa bed."
The rear seats are the kind that can be quickly removed. After removing them, the trunk space can fit two sofa beds, so we can all lie down and get a good night's sleep.
"Uh! Okay!" Feng Xingshou watched as he deftly opened the rear seat connection in a few quick movements, completely removing the rear seats and making the entire rear compartment more spacious. Looking at the remaining space, there was indeed enough room to put a sofa bed in.
I wanted to use the backpack space to store the disassembled rear seat, but as soon as my hand touched it, a familiar screen popped up in front of me: [One rear seat found. Disassemble? Yes? No?]
It can actually be disassembled at a car manufacturing plant? Seeing this, she naturally chose to disassemble it, since the back seat was useless to them anyway, and the driver and passenger seats in the front were enough.
Congratulations to the survivor for obtaining 4 units of Black Iron, 4 units of Cotton, and 2 units of Cloth!
As she made her choice, the text on the light screen changed, and the rear seats turned into piles of materials in front of her. Looking at the contents, she thought about the upgrade materials for the car engine, fuel tank, and other parts, and couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, the amount of materials needed for the seats is very small."
As she pondered this, she prepared to take out the materials to make a second sofa bed, but she didn't expect that the only fabric and cotton needed to make the sofa bed was the amount she had just obtained from opening the box. She had enough wood, but not enough of these two types of materials.
She had obtained both types of fabric and cotton from disassembling the car seat, but not enough. What should she do? Where could she get more fabric and cotton? Just as she was worrying...
Then I saw the bedding I had taken out earlier piled up on the sofa bed.
This gave her a sudden idea. Right, since the materials from the treasure chests weren't enough, what about the dungeons? The back seat of the car could be broken down, so could these bedding be broken down into some cloth and cotton?
Without hesitation, she took out another set of bedding collected from the dungeon and tried it out. Although the result was a little different from what she had expected, the outcome was not bad, because she could not trigger the prompt that would allow it to disintegrate when touched, just like she could with the back seat.
However, touching the bedding collected in the dungeon with a crowbar will trigger a dismantling prompt, which is probably a hidden gameplay element in road survival games! -_-||
.
And so, after Kenji Hagiwara quickly removed the rear seats, Mamoru Kaze also quickly completed the construction of the sofa beds. However, after the two sofa beds were placed, a passageway needed to be left for people to open the rear door and get out of the car.
The space in the carriage seemed a bit small. The two sofa beds were squeezed together, and once the bedding was laid out, it looked like a 2x2 double bed. If it were before, she wouldn't have thought much of it, but now she felt that her humanity was being greatly challenged.
Seeing Hagiwara lying on his sofa bed, seemingly unconcerned, she looked at her with surprise and asked, "Feng-chan, it's past 1 a.m., why aren't you coming up to sleep? What are you dawdling about?"
"Ahem! I'm going to sleep now." If it weren't for what happened earlier, and if she didn't feel that she was unattractive to men and that no man would have any thoughts about her, Feng Xingshou wouldn't have cared about the current situation at all. But after what happened earlier...
She now feels inexplicably embarrassed and hesitant about anything that might lead to an ambiguous relationship with Hagiwara, but she also feels that she can't show it. What if he takes her joke seriously if she does?
Or what if she's discovered? Will Hagiwara feel disgusted by her? Will the people watching her livestream mock her, laughing at her for being ugly and pretentious, and for being delusional and infatuated?
Because of this concern, even if she was extremely nervous inside, she had to pretend to be fine and calmly sit down on another sofa bed to lie down. However, some of her inner thoughts would still show in her actions.
"Feng-chan! If you stay too close to the side, you might fall off the bed." Kenji Hagiwara's voice sounded like he was about to laugh as he reminded her. After hearing this, she moved slightly, less than a centimeter, from her side-lying position on the sofa bed.
He asked with a mixture of helplessness and interest, "Are you deliberately keeping such a distance from me because you're worried I'll sneak up on you at night? I don't think I'm that beastly to make a move on a woman I've only known for a little over a day, am I?"
"Say something more definite! This kind of uncertain tone will only make most women more worried." Feng Xingshou couldn't help but criticize his wavering stance.
However, these seemingly joking words inexplicably relaxed her, making her stop thinking about those things. She moved over and lay down on the sofa bed. The long-lost feeling of relaxation and comfort made her sigh with relief: "It's still more comfortable to sleep lying down."
“Haha…I think so too.” Kenji Hagiwara agreed.
The two lay on the sofa bed chatting idly. Perhaps they hadn't been able to lie down comfortably for several days, or perhaps their sleeping environment had suddenly improved, or perhaps the sofa bed was simply a good sleep aid.
They both thought that sharing a room with someone they had only recently met, and being so close, would make it impossible for them to fall asleep so quickly. However, to their surprise, they both fell asleep almost immediately after lying down, and the whole car became quiet...
