Chapter 145

Snowy listened closely and repeated their argument, word for word.

Apprentice 8 said, “You still claim you and Apprentice 12 are nothing?”

Apprentice 9 replied, “Oh, and you and Apprentice 13 are so pure? Don’t think I don’t know; vou two had a thing!

Apprentice 8 said, “That’s ridiculous. I’ve always seen her as a friend.”

Apprentice 9 replied, “Oh, then I guess he’s just a best friend, huh!”

Apprentice 8 said, “You two dated for two years! Everyone in the sect knows it. Who are you trying to fool?”

Apprentice 9 replied, “Yeah, we did. So what? He’s way better than you.”

Leeanne frowned as she listened. This was just a typical couple’s quarrel, nothing worth hearing. She was about to stop Snowy when suddenly, the conversation took a turn.

Apprentice 8 said, “What makes him so great? Don’t think I don’t know; he’s got messed–up eyes. If anyone tries to make eye contact, he goes nuts. You managed to date him for two years? Please, I bet you couldn’t even get a kiss out of him!”

Apprentice 9 replied, “So what? He’s way more capable than you. The houses he builds come with a built–in temperature control system, warm in winter, cool in summer. Can you pull that off?”

Apprentice 8 retorted, “Oh, please. She’s better than you. She builds houses using fewer materials and still keeps the quality high. What about you? You waste tons of material, and the quality’s awful!”

Apprentice 9 retorted, “If she’s so amazing, why don’t you just go after her? Oh, right, she can’t stand people who talk to much. If anyone tries to chat with her for more than three sentences, she starts wrecking the place!

“Poor you, always keeping your mouth shut when you help her, terrified she’ll snap. And still, you keep going back every day talk about desperate!”

The conversation kept going.

Snowy suddenly spun around. “Leeanne, they’re coming!”

Out on the sea, a small boat drifted closer, carrying a man and a woman who were arguing loudly. Both of them turnest and fixed their gaze on Leeanne’s raft.

Apprentice 9 grumbled, “Ugh, just my luck, running into adventurers this early. I really don’t want to work

Apprentice 8 agreed, “Yeah, right. With your so–called skills, you’re nothing but trouble for everyone

Apprentice 9 retorted, “Like you’re any better? The houses you build are a total misfortune curse, anyone who tries to learn. from you ends up jinxed!”

Apprentice Bsaid, “Alright, at least we don’t wreck the place Enough chit–chat, lecx get to work?

The two of them drew closer.

Apprentice 9 started waving at Leeanne, but Leeanne’s expression shifted. She quickly turned her head, avoiding their gare, and slipped into the wooden pleasure boat.

“These two are seriously terrifying Leeanne thought. Sure, they didn’t wreck the place, but one barely knows what they’re

doing, and the other is basically a walking jinx. Who’d dare learn from them? Let them keep drifting, Leeanne thought.

Honestly, the vast ocean is exactly where those two belong, Leeanne thought. Snowy stood on the raft, looking completely

harmless.

Apprentice 8 asked, “Huh? Why’d she just walk off?”

Apprentice 9 replied, “Whatever, she probably didn’t even see us. We waved, that’s enough. If she doesn’t want us on her boat, that’s her problem, not ours. Let’s drift somewhere else; hopefully, we won’t bump into anyone. I really don’t want to do any work.”

Apprentice 8 agreed, “Let’s go!”

After a while, Snowy turned to Leeanne and said, “They’re gone, Leeanne.”

Only then did Leeanne dare to come out. Just now, she’d managed to pick up info on four people!

Apprentice 8 had no taboos and didn’t wreck the place, but the houses he built were practically cursed.

Apprentice 9 had no taboos and didn’t wreck the place, but the houses she built used far too much material, and the quality was terrible.

Apprentice 12 had no eye contact, but the houses he built came with automatic climate control.

Apprentice 13 hated conversation; if anyone spoke to her for more than three sentences, she would snap. Her houses were high–quality and used far less material.

Yep, those are the four rules, Leeanne thought. Honestly, without their profiles, players would be falling right into traps.

Just thinking about it, those who avoided eye contact or kept quiet would have been the best fit. Someone like William or Gavin might have been able to handle Apprentice 13.

Leeanne lounged on her beanbag chair, scrolling through the chat channel.

[Oh my gosh, I ran into demolition crew Apprentice 23! He gave me the cutest smile, so I complimented him, and he immediately started wrecking my place. I’m crying here!]

[You idiot! He’s part of the demolition crew; he’s already demolished several homes. No one dares talk to him, and yen actually let him on your boat!]

But he was so adorable! I just couldn’t resist. Who knew that kid could be so savage!)

(Serves you right!)

Jessica [Hey guys, does anyone have Apprentice 12’s intro guide? I need it ASAP any supplies you want, just ask

Leeanne immediately sat up, and DM’d Jessica: [Did you run into him/

Jessica: (Not me, it’s my dad. Apprentice 12’s heading right for him, they’re about to meet. My dad’s freaking out, he doesn’t

know what to do!]

Leeanne: I’ve got info on him right here)

Jessica went quiet, and soon, Enrique DM Leeanne, got any info on Apprentice 12 Help the out, and I send you something good. I promise, no messing around |

Time was tight, so Enrique didn’t bother haggling with Leeanne. He was always generous, so Leeanne didn’t waste a second she shot him the details on Apprentice 12 right away.

Honestly, this kind of info could be sold to a bunch of people, as long as they ran into him.

A message popped up in the chat channel: (Apprentice 12 just boarded Enrique’s raft!)

[Whoa! Another disciple of Mr. Sullivan has appeared! Wonder what he’s gonna teach?]

[Forget about what he can teach, just hope Enrique can keep his raft intact! I heard his raft is huge and packed with supplies This is gonna be fun to watch!)

(Oh no, is the Atwood family’s business empire about to collapse?)

Enrique, better start moving your supplies now!]

If Enrique goes down, the folks from old District 35 are probably gonna scatter!]

The chat channel was buzzing with gossip, and plenty of people were just waiting to see Enrique crash and burn.

Enrique’s reputation was in the gutter these days; he’d been hoarding supplies, buying low and selling high, and a lot of people weren’t happy about it. Robin was one of them.

Of course, Robin had issues with Enrique, not just because of the time he got tricked by Vanessa, but also because Enrique was getting all the attention, leaving Robin in the shadows.

He was keeping a close eye on things, practically hoping Enrique would screw up.

Everyone was camped out in the chat, eager to see what would happen to Enrique in the end. But just five or six minutes later, a new message popped up:

Apprentic 12 taught Enrique the building technique: automatic climate control (buildings can automatically regulate their climate, staying warm in winter and cool in summer).]

Apprentice 12 left Enrique’s raft and hit the road again.]

The chat exploded:

Whoa, that was fast! How did Enrique get him to finish in just five or six minutes?)

He’s crazy efficient! I heard some disciples hang out on players‘ boats for hours, eating and drinking, refusing to lasave. Hos did he wrap things up so quickly?]

[Automatic climate control? I’m dying of envy!

He’s back on the move, everyone! Try to snag him! Enrique, did you already know his deal?)

Leeanne got a DM from Enrique [Thanks, Leeanne. Here’s something for you Leather Sofa Blueprint, which Apprennce 19 gave me, and Sisal Seeds.)

Leather Sofa Blueprint. Lets you make a real leather sofa, super classy and stylish!!

The sofa was absolutely stunning, with blue and white colors that made it look both elegant and fancy Leeanne way instantly smitten.

The sisal seeds were pretty nice, too. She wasn’t sure what they were good for, but she figured shed plant them anyway; they

might turn out useful someday. She took them without hesitation.

Enrique: [Leeanne, I’m planning to gather info on the master and his disciples and sell it. If you want to sell your intel, too, how about we split it? 80% for you, 20% for me?]

Leeanne: [Yeah, that’s fine, but honestly, once the info starts spreading, it’s gonna lose value fast.]

Word traveled quickly; once it was out there, the price dropped in no time. If one could sell it, everyone else could as well.

Enrique went quiet for a moment, then replied: [Got it.]

Leeanne kept scrolling through the chat channel, basically glued to her beanbag chair for the day.

Suddenly, the game sent out another announcement:

[Apprentice 13 has started her journey!]

[Mr. Sullivan has started his journey!]

[Mr. Sullivan isn’t just an expert in all his disciples‘ building skills; he’s got tons of unique techniques of his own! Players, make the most of this opportunity. If you’re lucky enough to spot him, invite him onto your boat right away!]
