103 - Sweet Surrender

  "Hubby, Kevin's leading a bus and wants to trade a 1-Star Dagger for some healing meds," Tiffany reported Kevin's situation to Jason.

  Jason was sprawled out on the bed, his head resting on Sophie's lap, looking like some lazy aristocrat. Hearing Tiffany's report, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.

  "Kevin's leading a bus?"

  Tiffany nodded, explaining, "He just bought a pair of Combat Boots. I didn't expect him to take over a bus so quickly."

  Jason nodded in understanding. Knowing Kevin, getting control of a bus with 1-Star Combat Boots wasn't that hard.

  Jason knew Kevin from way back, when they were both struggling at the bottom of the bus system.

  Kevin becoming a sales guy for Tiffany wasn't just some random find on the Group Chat App; Jason had recommended him.

  Before, Tiffany was looking for someone to handle sales but couldn't decide who. Jason happened to see Kevin trading three Escape Coins for food and suggested him to Tiffany.

  In their past lives, Jason and Kevin had teamed up for Chests before. He was fearless and principled when fighting monsters, never trying to steal resources from others.

  Everyone thought someone like Kevin wouldn't last long in the Escape World, but he just kept getting better, building a loyal team of followers.

  Jason knew that Kevin could control his greed and had self-awareness, which is why he recommended him to Tiffany.

  Of course, he couldn't escape the bus system in their past lives and ultimately died during a Goblin tribe ambush while fighting for a Chest due to his lack of strength.

  But Kevin had talent, and Jason wasn't going to miss the chance to bring him into the fold, letting Tiffany take him on, giving him an opportunity to rise earlier.

  Now that Kevin was leading a bus, he was practically one of Jason’s subordinates. Jason wasn't going to let Kevin get hurt or die, so he contacted Joyce to get some healing honey from her.

  "Tiffany, trade Kevin a portion of the honey. Remember to ask about the honey's healing effects."

  Jason thought it was a good chance to test the honey's healing power, now that Kevin was injured.

  Meanwhile...

  Kevin's eyes lit up when he saw the honey information Tiffany sent. He immediately traded his 1-Star Dagger.

  A moment later, Kevin had a palm-sized chunk of honey in his hand. He didn't care about anything else and immediately started wolfing it down.

  Kevin felt the honey melt in his mouth, turning into a surge of energy that nourished his body.

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

  "Delicious!" Kevin's eyes shone. It was worthy of being honey that restores wounds. It not only has special effects, but it is also more delicious than any honey he has ever eaten. It is sweet but not greasy, with a floral fragrance.

  As the whole chunk of honey was eaten, Kevin finally felt some relief from the pain in his shoulder, and the dizzy, weak feeling in his head gradually disappeared.

  Looking at the wound, it wasn't bleeding anymore.

  "This honey is amazing..." Kevin couldn't help but marvel.

  This honey was practically a miracle cure, worth as much as a 1-Star Equipment.

  At first, he felt a little bad about trading the 1-Star Dagger for honey, but now that he felt his injuries recovering so well, Kevin felt relieved.

  Even the best equipment wasn't as important as his own life.

  Kevin immediately sent the healing effects to Tiffany. Then he found a careful woman on the bus to help him treat the wound.

  The injury wouldn't heal instantly but would recover slowly. So, he needed to clean the wound and bandage it with a towel.

  At the same time, Kevin also began to manage the bus, integrating weapons, food, and resources, while winning over people's hearts, setting rules, and a series of other measures...

  Meanwhile, Jason was playing with the 1-Star Dagger in his hand, and got know about Kevin's injury recovery results.

  "Looks like Joyce's honey is pretty good," Jason marveled.

  "It's so magical that honey can have this effect." Sophie was also surprised. If her acupuncture worked with the honey, even serious injuries could be healed.

  Sophie looked down at Jason lying on her lap, eager for the day she could use her acupuncture and honey to heal Jason.

  'Huh?' Jason felt Sophie's burning gaze and felt a chill.

  He knew this little girl was always thinking about giving him acupuncture. Was she hoping he would get hurt so she could treat him with acupuncture?

  Jason was troubled. He had collected a lot of Sophie's Favor Points last night, but Sophie hadn't gotten scared of him. Instead, she had become even clingier, which gave Jason a headache.

  "Sophie, are your legs numb? Want to get up and rest for a bit?"

  Jason wanted to get up, but Sophie immediately held him down. "I'm okay, Jason. It's okay if you rest your head on me all day."

  Jason could only continue to lie down. Luckily, Chloe was driving now, or she would get jealous if she saw.

  After all, even she hadn't had Sophie give her a lap pillow.

  Inside the RV, Jason continued to lie on the bed, creating Shadow Doppelgangers and practicing multitasking.

  Tiffany sat on the sofa buying and selling items, Kira taught Ellie and Lily how to use Wooden Spears, and Sophie kept an eye on the Group Chat App.

  Time passed, and the day quickly came to an end.

  A flash of white light landed inside the RV. It was Jenna returning from the Skills Dungeon Token.

  "Jenna, you're back," Tiffany greeted Jenna with a smile.

  Kevin selling hundreds of Wooden Bucket meals, plus the items she sold today, made more than ten thousand Escape Coins in profit, and made Tiffany smile all the time.

  At this time, Jason was still lying on the bed, except the lap pillow had changed from Sophie to Chloe. As for Sophie, she was giving Jason a massage with her small hands.

  Have to say, it felt pretty good.

  This made Chloe jealous. She wished she could switch places with Jason and enjoy Sophie's care.

  Seeing Jenna back, Jason got up and asked curiously, "Jenna, tell everyone what kind of food you learned to make from the Token."

  "Jason, I learned to make all kinds of desserts from the Token." Jenna told everyone about what happened in the Dungeon.

  After being transported to the Dungeon, she was immediately taught how to make various desserts, and then learned to make various desserts.

  Now, as long as she had the ingredients, she could make any dessert.

  However, unlike Fried Rice, which could restore Physique, the desserts she made had no special effects, except that they tasted good.

  The women present all perked up when they heard this. Who wouldn't want to eat tasty desserts?

  Jason nodded too. If the desserts Jenna made really tasted good, they could be treated as luxury goods like cigarettes, alcohol, and tea, and sold at high prices on the Group Chat App.

  Provided that Jason had a stable source of ingredients in his RV.

  Jason smiled and said, "Jenna, the desserts are great. We're in for a treat in the future."

  The women all nodded in agreement, looking forward to eating the desserts that Jenna would make in the future.
