Vanessa: [Well… I’m too scared to open it. What if it gets used up right away? Just pay attention to the instructions, okay?]

Right away, a bunch of people chimed in.

[Yeah, who’d actually dare to use it?]

[Yeah, the rules are simply not to let the pet go hungry or thirsty, and to treat it well. It’s nothing complicated.]

[Leeanne, if you want to bid, do it. Stop spamming the chat and let us get on with the auction.]

Leeanne frowned and thought, ‘These guys are sticking up for Vanessa a little too much. Something doesn’t feel right.

Just then, Rodger, Danelle, and William jumped into the chat.

Rodger: [Honestly, I’ve got some questions, too. Is it not okay to ask? How are we supposed to bid if we don’t know what we’re getting?]

Danelle: [Yeah, seriously! Why do a few people keep trying to shut everyone up? Are you guys all working together or what?]

William: [Getting nervous, huh?

Vanessa dodged the question. [Alright, let’s keep going.]

Jessica popped up in the Local Chat. [Leeanne, check your private messages. I’ve been trying to talk to you for ages. Why aren’t you replying?]

Jessica Atwood: [Leeanne, go check your messages right now!]

Leeanne thought, ‘Why is Jessica so anxious all of a sudden?‘

She opened her private messages and saw that both Jessica and Enrique Atwood had sent her a bunch of messages.

Jessica: [Leeanne, my dad’s been trying to talk to you for ages. Why aren’t you replying?]

Jessica: [Leeanne, check my dad’s messages!]

Leeanne found it odd and opened up Enrique’s messages.

Enrique Atwood: Leeanne, don’t auction off the pet contract!]

Leeanne thought, Huh? Is there something wrong with the pet contract?

‘My gut feeling was right after all.

[Why?] Leeanne asked Enrique.

Enrique didn’t answer her directly. He just replied, If you need a pet contract, I’ll keep an eye out for you. If I find a good one, I’ll let you know]

“Wait, what does Enrique have to do with the pet contract that’s being auctioned? Leeanne wondered.

Just as she was getting suspicious, Emmett messaged her. [Leeanne, don’t bid on that pet contract. There’s something fishy about it.J

[You know about it, too?] Leeanne felt even more confused.

[Who else knows?] Emmett asked, then caught on. [Oh, Enrique? He warned you not to buy it, huh?]

Leeanne: [Yep!]

Emmett Swenson: [Smart move! I should’ve seen that coming.]

Anyway, Leeanne was definitely not going to take that pet contract now.

She hopped back into the Local Chat and saw that the pet contract auction was almost over. Robin was the highest bidder.

In the end, Robin won the pet contract.

Robin immediately got hyped and started collecting Entry Pass, ready to head to the island and catch his pet.

By now, two people had gotten their hands on the Entry Passes and set off on their adventures. They promised to share what they found with everyone.

Leeanne watched Snowy with worry. Snowy still looked weak and listless. After thinking for a bit, she grabbed a carton of milk, warmed it up, and held it to Snowy’s mouth.

Snowy gave it a quick lick, then turned her head away.

‘She won’t even drink milk?‘ Leeanne thought, feeling even more helpless.

Leeanne hugged Snowy, completely at a loss. All she could do was desperately scroll through the Local Chat and the trading hall, hoping for any new updates.

In the Local Chat, players were chatting nonstop with the two who got Entry Passes.

[I landed on a tiny island. The whole place was just rocks. Found a few coconut trees and maybe two or three wild chickens. Man, this was such a letdown. If I’d known, I would’ve sold my Island Pass instead.]

[Hey, that’s not bad. You can chop down trees, grab some coconuts, and kill some chickens.]

[Dude, are you serious? That’s all you got? Should’ve sold your pass. A couple of wild chickens and a few hundred logs. What’s the use?]

[Wait, what about the other person who went to the island? Why’s he so quiet?]

[The other guy mentioned he got surrounded by wolves, but he stopped halfway through his story. Guess something bad happened…]

[Hearing all this, going to the island sounds pretty risky. Honestly, selling the Island Pass might’ve been the smarter move

The group chat must’ve worked its magic, because pretty soon, Robin managed to snag an Entry Pass.

He was pumped and used it right away to jump onto the island.

Of the two who went carlier, one had gone quiet, and the other had finished gathering supplies, sitting on a rock waiting for the timer to send him back. Everyone was focused on Robin.

But after Robin landed on the island, he went totally quiet.

People kept pinging him in the Local Chat, wanting an update, but he only replied once: [The island I landed on is actually

pretty nice. There are tons of beast cubs here.]

With nothing much to do except scavenge for chests, most players hung out in the Local Chat, keeping things lively.

A lot of people were watching Robin, eager to see what the pet contract could actually do, so they kept spamming him with questions.

But Robin didn’t respond at all.

About half an hour later, Robin finally exploded in the Local Chat, his tone furious. [This pet contract doesn’t work at all! Vanessa, you totally ripped me off!]

Everyone snapped to attention. [Why? Is the pet contract fake or what?]

Vanessa: [The pet contract is one hundred percent legit, guaranteed. Robin, what happened to you?]

Robin fired back. [You know damn well!]

Vanessa stood her ground. [The contract details are right there for everyone to see. Whatever I know, everyone else knows, too.]

Robin went silent again.

Leeanne figured Robin must’ve found something, but he didn’t want to spill the beans in public. Maybe he was trying to keep the truth under wraps.

The players were dying of curiosity and kept pestering Robin for answers.

Finally, Robin snapped. [Check the fine print on the pet contract. Rule number one: The contractor’s Strength, Agility, and Constitution have to be at least 10 points higher than the pet’s if the contractor wants any shot at taming it.

[Vanessa, with conditions this strict, what kind of pet do you think I could actually tame?]Vanessa DorseyVanessa Dorsey

Vanessa: [Wait, there’s actually something like that in the pet contract? I didn’t know.]

Robin: [Seriously, just opening it to check doesn’t use up the contract. Vanessa, are you telling me you never looked?]

Vanessa: [I didn’t dare open it. What if it got used up by mistake?]

Robin: [Stop making excuses, you’re trying to scam us!]

Max Turner: [Vanessa, you deliberately hid the facts during the auction. That’s fraud!!

Vanessa: [I never even opened it. How was I supposed to know about that rule? I’m being totally framed here

Robin: [You know damn well whether you’re innocent or not!]

Vanessa: [I’ve got nothing else to say. Robin, just so you know, once it’s sold, it’s gone. No takebacks]

Max: [Busted, hub?]

Robin: Just as I thought. Don’t let me catch who’s behind all this.]

Max: [Seriously, you tried to scam even us? Are you crazy or something?]

Everyone in the chat could see everything crystal clear.

[So the pet contract has those restrictions? What can one even contract with, baby chicks?]

[Hey, don’t say that. Newborn rabbits should work, too.]

[Robin really took a hit. He probably spent over half his supplies to get that pet contract.]

[I bet Vanessa knew about those restrictions. Otherwise, why didn’t she use the contract herself?]

Leeanne finally understood. She thought. So that was what was really going on.

‘But how did Enrique know there was something off about the contract? And how did Emmett figure it out, too?‘ Leeanne wondered.

She immediately messaged Emmett.

Emmett just chuckled. [Take a guess.]
