The Double Drop Buff Surviving The Endless Ocean novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143

As soon as she said that, the chat channel went wild.

[What rule can give you 20 points?]

[Yeah, how come I’m only getting one or two points at a time? It’s exhausting!]

[Leeanne, can you tell me what the rule is? I’ll trade you a weapon blueprint!]

[I want to know too, Leeanne. Just name your price, I’ll give you whatever you need!]

Robin: [Leeanne, is it true that traditional–style furniture can boost your score?]

Leeanne felt annoyed just seeing Robin’s name. She replied: [If you think so, then go ahead and try it!]

‘Only a full set would give you that many points, and it had to be made from advanced finewood. If Robin thinks he’s got what it takes, let him try to pull it off, let’s see if he can even afford it,‘ Leeanne thought, rolling her eyes.

Robin was left speechless. He was already struggling just to expand his raft, let alone make furniture.

Over the past couple of days, Leeanne had basically squeezed him dry of all his supplies and treasures.

Robin was boiling with frustration, but there was nothing he could do. ‘I’m a civilized guy,‘ he reminded himself, I can’t just go off on people.’ Fuming, he slammed the chat window shut.

Soon, Leeanne got a private message. Anthony: [Leeanne, is that really true? Can you actually get 20 points? Does it need a lot of materials?]

Leeanne remembered Anthony as the guy who was really good at farming, and she thought he was a good guy. So she replied: [Yeah, it’s true. It’s actually pretty simple, but most people wouldn’t think of it. I figured it out by experimenting ]

Anthony was straightforward. [Alright, I’ll trade with you!] Leeanne received 1 advanced finewood table and chairs blueprint.

Leeanne was thrilled. As she’d predicted, most people guarded their blueprints until a game–changing secret surfaced. Now, the scoring rules were the most coveted prize.

Leeanne took the blueprint and replied: [If you build a living room over 500 square feet, you’ll get 20 points.]

The key is the size of the living room. Anthony was thrilled and rushed off to try it out.

Leeanne didn’t care if he spilled the secret to others. There was more than one rule anyway, so it wasn’t a big deal if people found out. She wasn’t about to let secrecy get in the way of her own progress.

Lots of people messaged her privately, offering all sorts of supplies for the scoring rules. Leeanne chose the best offers and traded for a bunch of useful stuff; mostly basic materials like wood, iron, glass, beds, cloth, and other building–related supplies.

Of course, if someone had a good weapon blueprint, she’d take that too.

While chatting with people, she also managed to score an advanced finewood coffee table. Everything’s finally in place. Leeanne thought, grinning in satisfaction.

She quickly crafted an advanced finewood table and chairs set and put them in the living room, then added the coffee table. Finally, the living room didn’t look so bare anymore.

Her score jumped up as soon as the full set was in place. Her raft’s score finally hit 106, breaking past the 100 mark. Now she could finally settle one of her family members.

Leeanne finally let out a sigh of relief.

By five in the afternoon, a full day of work had passed. Overtime was now allowed, enabling players to remain on the island for a full 24 hours regardless of their arrival time. However, after six, no more treasure chests could be retrieved from the

sea.

Players were complaining left and right. People were anxious, stressed out, low on supplies, and their scores just wouldn’t budge. The comments section was full of complaints, and everyone was worried sick.

At six, as the sun was about to set, the game dropped another announcement.

Game Announcement:

1. To help everyone build their rafts, Mr. Sullivan and his 49 apprentices are now traveling the world. If you happen to cross paths with them, you can either welcome them warmly or make a quick getaway. They might teach you some expert building techniques or leave your raft in shambles.]
2. Mr. Sullivan and his 49 apprentices each have their own temperaments and quirks. How they treat you all depends on now you treat them.]

Have fun playing!]

As soon as the announcement dropped, players were left scratching their heads. Game announcements were always so vague, like trying to solve a riddle.

Mr. Sullivan? Mr. Lucas Sullivan?]

“Yeah, it’s Mr. Lucas Sullivan and his 49 apprentices; 50 people in total, just drifting around on the sea!]

Finally, the game’s actually doing something right! A Master Builder is coming to help us out!]

“Hey, pay attention! They might teach you some building skills, or they might just tear your raft apart!)

Ugh, this damn game! Who the hell knows what kind of attitude Mr. Sullivan and his 49 apprentices have

just as everyone was chatting, Jessica suddenly shouted, [Hey, I just pulled a slip of paper from a chest, Apprentice 292)

Everyone hurried over to take a look.

Apprentice 19: The nineteenth disciple of Lucas. He actually prefers your raft to be a total mess. It too dean mul tady, he might just freak out!]

After checking it out, everyone started throwing out their theories

“So if we run into Apprentice 19, we gotta make sure our raft isn’t super tidy? It’s too clears, he’ll just rip it apart

[Man, there are filty of them! Who can remember what each one’s into or what ticks them off

[That’s so nerve–wracking! It’s like walking on thin ice!)

[I’m not worried. My raft’s an absolute disaster, just the way Apprentice 19 likes

[“Whoa, there’s a raft drifting over here! There’s a guy with a bushy beard holding a saw I saw his name, it’s Apprentice t

[‘Man, talk about luck!]

[Luck? More like screwed! I was bored today and just cleaned my raft until it was pristine, not a single speck of dust. Oh no, anyone got some junk? Lend me a heap!]

The chat exploded into chaos. Leeanne paused for a moment, then quickly told the sea demon vine to keep watch over the water. If anyone showed up, it had to alert her right away.

Next, she went to find Snowy and asked it to use its super hearing every so often to check if anyone was getting close. Finally. she went to check on Little Blue.

Little Blue had finally gotten past its weak phase and was slowly nibbling on strawberries, taking tiny bites. Its belly was still round and stuffed to bursting; totally overfed.

Leeanne said, “Little Blue, stop eating. Whenever you get a chance, take a stroll around the sea and see if anyone’s out there.”

Little Blue stared at Leeanne in disbelief. “Do you even know what time it is? It’s late, and you want me to work overtime?

Leeanne was speechless. ‘Where did Little Blue learn all these phrases? Isn’t I’m the only one who can talk out here? I never taught it stuff like that!‘ Leeanne wondered.

There was also Snowy. The two of them had been bickering all day. Unlike Little Blue, Snowy had inherited all of her mother’s strengths and possessed an impressive breadth of knowledge.

More astonishing still, her mother had even given her a bilingual upgrade. It turned out that she spoke Estain pretty well.

1. 00.

So that’s why Little Blue’s vocabulary has exploded lately,‘ Leeanne thought.

Leeanne patted it. “Be good, hurry up! You’ll get overtime pay; a whole basket of strawberries!”

Woohoo!” Little Blue flapped its wings and shot up. “You promise?”

Leeanne replied, “Of course!”

Little Blue flew off happily, made a loop, and quickly came back, circling Snowy with a smug look. I get to work overtime and I get a whole basket of strawberries as overtime pay! Do you get anything like that?”

inowy glanced at Little Blue’s bulging belly, as if looking at an idiot. “I’m not a fool, I can’t eat that much!”

attle Blue scoffed. “You’re just jealous!” Then it flew off, feeling super proud of itself.
