“The Management Building and Convenience Store should be placed in a prominent and easily accessible spot for the campers. Also, both facilities are container-style and can be stacked like blocks.”

“Blocks? You mean we can build them two stories high?”

“Yes. If stacked, an external staircase will be installed. The system recommends this method.”

Building two stories high seemed like a good idea, especially since the campground area was still small. This would save space.

“Then let’s build them two stories high.”

After some thought, I decided to place them between the Spring Campground sign and the campfire. This location would draw attention to the Management Building upon entry and face the tent area directly, facilitating management of guests.

[Youbum(F) has built the ‘Management Building.’] [Youbum(F) has built the ‘Convenience Store.’]

Four containers materialized in the air, landing with a thud. Three containers formed the first floor, and one was stacked on top.

The first floor sign read, “Management Building – Toilets, Showers, Kitchen.” An outdoor staircase connected to the second floor, which was the Convenience Store.

The remaining space on the second floor was fenced. Both the Management Building and Convenience Store had exteriors of logs common in the Valley of Blue Starlight, glowing with blue light between the wood grains.

“Wow, it’s so pretty!”

Teddy exclaimed in admiration. At first glance, it looked like a tree house built for children.

The ceiling was high enough for Teddy to enter comfortably, and the size gave an overwhelming presence.

“Why isn’t it opening?”

Teddy excitedly tried to enter, but the door was locked.

[‘Management Building’ requires an assignee to unlock.] [‘Management Building’ assignee will have delegated authority when the campground owner is absent.] [The assignee can be changed at any time.]

“Ah, right. Teddy, I want to assign you as the assignee for the Management Building. Can you handle my role when I’m not in the campground?”

“I’d love to! I’ll be the Spring Campground manager!”

Teddy was thrilled as if wearing a badge of honor.

He had often filled in for me before and was diligent enough to handle the responsibility well.

[‘Teddy(A)’ has been assigned as the ‘Management Building’ assignee.] [‘Management Building’ unlocked.] [‘Youbum(F)’ has been assigned as the ‘Convenience Store’ assignee.] [‘Convenience Store’ unlocked.]

The door finally opened, but I was shocked at what I saw inside.

“What is all this…”

The kitchen sink was rusted, the toilet seat wobbly, and there were mold and cobwebs in the corners.

The condition was seriously poor.

“Wow, it’s dirty, but spacious!”

“Yeah, haha. Once cleaned, it’ll be nice, but some parts need replacing…”

“Press the sign in front to buy the necessary items for each facility!”

“Really?”

I went out to check immediately. Clicking the sign marked ‘Management Building,’ I found items suitable for the space for sale.
The bathroom had standard sinks, shampoo, conditioner, and treatment. The shower room was equipped with regular shower hoses, shower balls, and body wash.

“I used to only have soap, so this is a delightful upgrade.”

The kitchen also had a variety of items like cutting boards, knives, kettles, and ladles.

“Now, only basic items are available, but as the campground level increases, more items will be added. You’ll have more variety in cleaning supplies, and even tiles and wallpapers can be changed!”

“Oh… that’s great!”

I had always spent more on home decor than personal grooming. Buying campground items and decorating the space sounded fun.

Changing tiles or wallpaper outside would require clearing out the area and time for construction, but here, it transformed magically.

“I wish I could build the theater and book cafe…”

Seeing all this made me yearn for the theater and book cafe.

“Theater and book cafe? What are those?”

“A space for watching movies and another for reading books while having a drink. They appeared in the ‘Build’ skill, but I can’t unlock them without the required type of monster.”

“I see…”

Teddy nodded, seemingly understanding my somewhat insufficient explanation quickly, probably due to his connection to the system.

“I think I need to venture outside the campground to complete the plant compendium.”

“It’s too dangerous for you to go out alone, Owner.”

“That’s what worries me too.”

We both pondered for a moment, then a foreboding thought struck me.

‘What if I can’t reach level 10 without going outside?’

It seemed like the system was urging me to grow the campground by venturing out. The plant compendium quest couldn’t be completed entirely within the campground area.

‘Ah, this feels fishy.’

Camping originally refers to staying outdoors, often in remote or mountainous areas, due to lack of accommodation.

If the system’s intention is for me, as the campground owner, to understand the true essence of camping…

‘Nah, surely not?’

Just as I was about to laugh off this overactive imagination, a clear notification rang.

[Congratulations! You have met the conditions and acquired the sub-skill ‘Invincible Backpacker(S)’.] [Congratulations! You have met the conditions and acquired the sub-skill ‘Wasn’t it a Pack?(B)’.] [‘Backpacking Backpack’ is now available at the Convenience Store.]

The notifications sounded as if confirming my suspicion.
