[Players can use an entry pass to randomly enter an island. Each island is different in size, resources, and dangers, so be careful when you enter. Only 11 entry passes will be issued in this district today. Make sure you treasure them.]

As soon as the announcement dropped, the chat channel exploded with activity.

[So with the entry pass, does this mean we can just hop onto an island whenever we want?]

[Yeah, I’m so hyped. We can finally gather supplies on islands instead of just floating around on our rafts.]

[What’s the point? Didn’t you see? There are only 11 entry passes in this district. Who can actually get one?]

[Exactly, you guys are way too optimistic. Did you even read the announcement?]

[Different in size, resources, and dangers? From what I know about this game, you could spend ages trying to get an entry pass only to land on a tiny island that’s just 100 square feet.]

[Use the entry pass, and next thing you know, you drop right into a swamp.]

[Use the entry pass, and suddenly you’re surrounded by a pack of wolves.]

After all that explanation, the hype for the entry passes died down fast.

The players had been playing for over ten days now. Everyone knew how this game worked.

The island one landed on with the entry pass was pure luck. What if one ended up on a tiny patch, or a place with awful conditions, or worse, an island full of Advanced–level beasts?

That’d totally screw one over.

Not only would one miss out on supplies and loot, but one might even get oneself killed.

Even so, a lot of players were still excited about the entry passes.

One had to risk it to get the reward. Sure, one might run into all kinds of dangers, but one could also stumble onto some real treasure.

Take the island hunt, for example. Plenty of folks scored big, picking up weapons and gear.

Everyone was busy talking about how to get their hands on an entry pass.

Suddenly…

Jessica: [Oh! I just pulled an entry pass out of a chest.]

Enrique: [Jessica, give me the entry pass. I’ll grab the supplies for you]

Emmett: [Whoa, you nearly gave me a heart attack, Jessica, if you score something good, just message your dad in private next time. There’s no need to let the whole world know.)

Jessica: [Sorry, I was actually talking to my dad. I must’ve switched channels by accident]

Enrique: [No worries, I’m here for you.]

Leeanne was browsing the chat too. When she saw Jessica drop the entry pass, she hurried over to check it out.

[Entry pass: Allows one to randomly enter an island. Each island is different in size, resources, and danger. Use with caution. Time limit: 5 hours.]

Everyone went to check it out, and the chat went wild with reactions.

[Only 5 hours? What can you even get done in 5 hours?]

[This game is so stingy. You can barely chop a few trees in 5 hours.]

[Not really. If you have an Intermediate or Advanced iron axe, you can chop down many trees.]

[Yeah, after the server merge, everyone’s basically an expert. Lots of people are using Intermediate or even Advanced iron axes. They can clear trees super fast.]

Leeanne looked it over again and again. ‘That entry pass isn’t like mine at all,‘ she thought.

First off, this entry pass sent one to a random island, but hers let her choose any island she wanted.

Secondly, this entry pass only allowed one to stay on the island for 5 hours, while hers stated that she could stay for a full 15 hours.

Could there be Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced entry passes?‘ Leeanne wondered. ‘No, that can’t be right. If there really were different levels, it’d say so on the entry pass.‘”

Leeanne just couldn’t figure it out.

She took out her own entry pass and compared it to Jessica’s. Hers looked pretty rough and plain, while Jessica’s was much more refined and detailed.

‘Shouldn’t the Advanced ones be fancier than the Basic ones?‘ Leeanne wondered.

Leeanne racked her brain for a while, but since she couldn’t figure it out, she just let it go.

She figured her entry pass was a real treasure. Since she could pick any island she wanted, that meant she could choose one with plenty of resources and minimal risk.

Too bad she didn’t dare test it out yet. She was worried she might accidentally use up this precious entry pass.

Leeanne didn’t dwell on it any longer. She still hadn’t checked in at the mystical cherry grove, so she had no clue what kind of luck boost she’d get today.

The Fortune’s Favor buff yesterday was quite good.

She stepped into the mystical cherry grove.

[Today’s Mystical Cherry Grove Luck Boost: Lady Luck. Today is the luckiest day. You’ll get more and better supplies

Today, Lady Luck was smiling, perfect timing for opening chests. Leeanne was so glad she’d held onto her chests from yesterday.

After checking on her homegrown veggies and feeding her little chickens, Leeanne stepped outside.

She was finally ready to open those chests.

She started by opening all the wooden chests from yesterday, scoring wood, iron, nails, fabric, and a bunch of other supplies, even some hygiene items.

But none of the chests gave her the Lady Luck bonus this time.

Leeanne frowned. “This just doesn’t feel right. How could I not get the boost even once? Is it because these chests were from yesterday?‘ she wondered.

She couldn’t recall if this had ever happened before, so there was no way to be sure.

“Viney, did you see any chests this morning?” Leeanne stood up and called out to the sea demon vine.

She wanted to try her luck with a fresh chest from today.

The sea demon vine waved its tendrils. “Master, it’s just past nine, and I haven’t spotted any chests yet. Oh, wait! There’s one. I’ll grab it right now.”

With a quick flick, the sea demon vine snagged a chest from a distance and tossed it onto the raft, landing it right next to

Leeanne.

Leeanne opened up the chest.

[You’ve opened a wooden chest. With Lady Luck on your side today, you’ve obtained a blueprint to upgrade your crafting table. Enchanting unlocked.]

‘Awesome!‘ Leeanne cheered inwardly.

She was thrilled. Just yesterday, she’d gotten three Enchanted Beads, and now she had the blueprint to upgrade her crafting table. Once she leveled it up, she could finally enchant her gear.

Leeanne opened up the crafting table upgrade blueprint.

[Crafting table upgrade blueprint: Once upgraded, your crafting table unlocks enchanting. Use Enchanted Beads to enchant your weapons and gear. Required materials: 10 wood, 20 iron, 3 Magic Stones.]

Leeanne stared at the list for a while. She knew what wood and iron were, but what exactly were Magic Stones?

She’d never even laid eyes on one.

She checked the chat channel, but nobody had mentioned Magic Stones either.

She headed over to the trading hall and searched around. Only one person was selling a Magic Stone, and the price was insane. He wanted an Intermediate weapon blueprint, boots that boosted Agility by 3 points or higher, and some wood and

nails.

It seemed that he knew he had something valuable.

Leeanne wasn’t about to buy it.

Enchanting wasn’t essential, so why shell out a ton of resources for Magic Stones?

It was already past nine in the morning when Leeanne realized she hadn’t eaten yet. She’d been busy all morning, and not

only was she starving, but her pets were also hungry.

She quickly fed the chickens and rabbits, tossed a few more pieces of wood to Fluffy, dodged its attempts to cling to her, an went to check on Snowy.

Snowy was snoozing again this morning, so she had to wake it up for breakfast.

As she reached the door, she spotted Little Blue on patrol, sneaking peeks inside through the crack now and then.

Leeanne couldn’t help but laugh, half annoyed, half amused.

‘Little Blue is still obsessed with Snowy, Leeanne thought.

“Little Blue!” Leeanne called out, trying to scare it. “Keep this up, and I’ll roast you.”

Little Blue flapped its wings. “Roast lamb, roast lamb! It’s dead.”

“What?” Leeanne’s face changed instantly as she rushed into the wooden pleasure boat.

Snowy was still curled up in the same spot. Leeanne scooped Snowy up, and it just managed to open its eyes, too weak to even make a sound.
