That number seemed insane to her.
“Who is this PineappleBeer?”
Riley stared at the name at the top of the list, racking her brain.
She didn’t remember ever seeing that ID pop up in regional chat.
Checked her transaction logs. Nothing there either.
“So there’s a silent heavy hitter out there.”
Riley thought about it.

This person had killed more than her. And she had the Storm Splitter Dual Axes, the steel spear, plus that +5 all–attribute boost. That meant PineappleBeer must have awakened some serious combat–focused talent.
Someone to watch out for.
Her eyes moved down the list. At seventy–eighth place, a familiar name. InvincibleWarrior.
“This guy’s still alive?”
Dude spent all his time stirring up drama about her. Disgusting.
“Newbie support period has officially ended. By now, you should all understand the basic rules of survival, yeah?
“Various events will be rolling out soon. Hope you enjoy yourselves. Try not to

Riley smiled at her. Rubbed her hands together. Then she quickly unequipped that unlucky title before flipping the first lid open.
“Obtained: Premium Fertilizer (11 lbs) x2
“Obtained: Raw Stone x50
“Obtained: Iron Ingot x10”
Of course. Pulling some legendary weapon? Not for her.
Fertilizer. Stone. Sure, she needed those for farming and wall repairs. But this was supposed to be a reward for ranking second on the leaderboard.
Deep breath. Second crate.
“Obtained: Blueprint–Farming Hoe (Reusable)
“Obtained: Wheat Seeds x20
“Obtained: Copper Plate x5”
Riley stared at that hoe blueprint. Long silence.
Wow.
System really wanted h
to be a farmer, huh?
She dutifully stored everything in inventory.
Honestly? In a world where you never knew where your next meal came from, being able to grow your own food? Not the worst thing.
The crates vanished the moment she emptied them.
Riley caught herself thinking–if they hadn’t disappeared, she could’ve melted those big boxes down for copper. Wouldn’t have been useless.

The Ghouls that’d been circling the camp all night? Gone. Like morning frost. Even the corpses Riley dropped last night–system cleared them. Only footprints remained, proof that last night happened.
