Tap. Tap. Tap.

Arhythmic hammering sound drifted from the side.

Riley turned to look.

In a corner of the yard, the treant was perched on a wooden ladder, hammering away at something.

It was adding the final decorative reinforcements to the perimeter wall, adding a ring of wooden spikes atop the bare stone for security and style.

Hearing the commotion at the gate, the treant paused its work.

It turned its head to look down at the soot-covered Riley and Neeko, then at the overflowing mine cart, and gave Riley a curt nod as a greeting.

Then, it turned back around and went right back to hammering nails.

Riley walked to the base of the ladder and looked up at the dedicated little guy. “You can take a break if you’re tired. No need to rush; you’ve already done a great job.”

The treant nodded but didn’t stop its movements for a single second.

“Well.” Riley let out a helpless sigh, knowing he simply loved the work; habits like that took time to change, so she didn’t push it and went to recover the coal Neeko had pushed home.

Riley pressed her palm against the coal pile and focused.

“Obtained: High-Quality Anthracite x 180 units”

“Current Inventory: 2,052 units”

Between her haul and Neeko’s, their daily production was becoming massive.

Riley opened the Region Trade Channel.

Copper and zinc are basic minerals that often come out when everyone digs stone. Resin also has a chance to drop from chopping trees. Trading is the way to collect these in large quantities, even if it’s expensive.

Riley narrowed her eyes. With her monopoly on the “Anthracite” hard currency, price wasn’t an issue.

She checked the market exchange rates for coal; efficiency was up across the board, so prices had dipped slightly, but it remained. the most stable currency available.

Riley drafted a new trade listing.

Chapter 204 Epic Rewards

Copper: 2 to 1. Zinc 2 to 1. Silver/Mithril 8 to 1. Resin: 2 to 1. (High volume, premium rates!).

Thinking it over, she remembered she still had several random rewards to open.

Epic Skill Choice Box x1, Random Epic (Purple) Gear x2, Random Epic (Purple) Crafting Recipe x1.

+20 Free Coins

These system rewards couldn’t be opened by others, so she had to rely off her own luck, but given her rank, they couldn’t be bad.

She began opening them one by one.

“Congratulations! Obtained Epic Gear: Red Ring of the Martial God. Strength +8, Stamina +3, Constitution +2, Agility +1

“Congratulations! Obtained Epic Gear: Yellow Windbreaker. Strength +4, Constitution +6, Agility +2.”

“Effect: Movement speed in snowstorms is unaffected.”

Both were solid, though it was a bit of a shame they were direct drops without unique procs.

Then came the random crafting book.

“Distributing Reward…”

“Congratulations! Obtained Recipe: Cloak of Vitality (Epic). Constitution +12, Agility +2.”

The stat boosts on Epic gear were absolutely brutal; Riley didn’t even want to imagine how high her stats would be once she had a full set equipped.

But as a top-ranked player from the instance, having this kind of dominance wasn’t that surprising.

She compared the recipe requirements and posted another trade to gather the specific materials.

The moment the listing went live, trade requests flooded in like a blizzard.

She set the auto-exchange and let the system handle it while she looked at the empty plot to the left of the main house.

“The house looks great, but it’s basically just one room. Neeko and I are fine, but with the treant and Ash, it’s getting cramped.

“And if TartKing or PineappleBeer ever visit, I can’t exactly have them sleeping on the floor.”

Riley pulled a blueprint from her bag.
