Chapter 149

Lucas paused for a moment, then chuckled softly. “Heh, you really are just an ignorant fool.”

In the chat channel, players were glued to their screens, eyes wide and unblinking, terrified they would miss a single update about Lucas.

Robin was even more on edge. He clutched his invitation card, staring at the screen without blinking. He decided to send his invite right away as soon as Lucas left Leeanne’s raft.

He could not wait another second.

The other players were just as impatient. Nobody dared to grab lunch, afraid they would miss any updates.

[What’s going on? What’s Mr. Sullivan up to? Leeanne, say something!]

[Mr. Sullivan isn’t wrecking the place, is he? From experience, his staying too long on someone’s raft never ends well.]

[Don’t you remember? Mr. Sullivan never wrecks anyone’s raft!]

[He might not wreck the place, but he can kill!]

Max: [For all we know, Leeanne might already be dead!]

Suddenly, a broadcast message popped up: [Lucas has granted player Leeanne the ‘Master Builder‘ skill: (Reduces material usage by 30%, increases quality by 30%)]

[Lucas has gifted Leeanne 1 bottle of Golden Plant Nutrient Solution.]

Lucas has gifted Leeanne 3 bottles of Silver Plant Nutrient Solution.]

As soon as the announcement popped up, the chat went wild.

30% less materials? That’s crazy! Most people only get a 10% reduction at best.]

Even 10% is rare. Most only get 5%. Mr. Sullivan’s apprentices really aren’t that skilled.]

Yeah, and there was that one guy who got a 10% reduction, but his stuff ended up all flimsy and shoddy. Honestly, it was hard not to laugh.]

I can’t take it! I’m dying of envy!]

I’m so overwhelmed with jealousy I can’t even think straight!]

Come on, you guys aren’t jealous enough yet. Have you seen the two nutrient potions? One slashes growth time in half, the other makes plants mature instantly. Take a closer look. Can you even handle it after seeing that?]

Thanks for pointing that out. I’m dead.]

What? Mr. Sullivan doesn’t just teach; he hands out gifts, too? And such rare treasures! This game totally favors Leeanne!]

That’s because she’s just that strong. After all, Leeanne managed to snatch Mr. Sullivan right out from under Robin’s nose!]

[You’re right! Robin must be the most jealous of all. After all, those things were almost his!]

Whether it was the Master Builder skill or those four bottles of nutrient solution, they were things he would not even dare to dream about.

He totally hated Leeanne’s guts.

Max: [Just wait and see! My boss will learn skills even better than this!]

Spike: [As if. Mr. Sullivan didn’t even go to his raft!]

Max: [Mr. Sullivan’s next stop is definitely my boss’s raft!]

Spike: [Dream on!]

Ellery: [Mr. Sullivan’s basically settled in at Leeanne’s raft. Look, he’s still hanging around after all this time.]

Robin was super anxious. He had already seen what Lucas could do, and now he was itching with anticipation, hoping Lucas would teach him something amazing.

Robin held the invitation card tightly, eyes fixed on the chat channel, fearful of missing any update from Lucas.

But after what felt like ages, Lucas still had not left Leeanne’s raft.

Robin thought he must have overlooked something.

In fact, Lucas had not departed from Leeanne’s raft because she was doing everything she could to hold him back.

But honestly, it was not Leeanne’s pleading that kept Lucas there. It was the way she kept calling him “Sully,” and he just could not get enough of it. Lucas loved hearing her say it, over and over.

In the end, after lingering for ages, Lucas finally had to tear himself away and leave Leeanne’s raft.

The game broadcast rang out: [Lucas has left Leeanne’s raft and is back on his journey!]

‘Finally!‘ Robin thought. He was so excited he could barely sit still, and he wasted no time in using his invitation card.

Another game broadcast popped up: [Robin used an invitation card to invite Lucas to his raft!]

All the players perked up instantly.

[Mr. Sullivan’s finally heading to Robin’s raft!]

[I’m so envious! Why do they get to learn from Mr. Sullivan, and we don’t even get a shot?]

Spike: [Mr. Sullivan is honorable and super nice. There’s no way he’d waste his time on a loser like that!]

Suddenly, another announcement came through. [Invitation failed. Lucas is taking a nap. Please try again later!]

Spike: [Wow, smart move, Mr. Sullivan!]

Ellery: [Lol, Mr. Sullivan’s napping! That’s hilarious!]

Robin’s face drained of color. ‘Seriously? He just got off Leeanne’s raft and went straight to nap? Who’s gonna believe that?‘ he grumbled inwardly.

But Lucas was indeed taking a nap.

Leeanne’s cooking was just too good. Lucas had eaten way more than he should have. Plus, all that messing around with Leeanne had drained him. By the time Lucas got on his boat, he was so wiped out that he passed out as soon as he sat down.

Robin just would not give up. He kept sending the invitation, but every time, he received the same message as before.

The players found it pretty amusing and a bit weird.

Wait, you can’t invite Mr. Sullivan while he’s napping? That’s wild! This game cracks me up!]

Well, duh! He’s a master. You gotta let him sleep. There’s no disturbing him during nap time.]

Poor Robin!]

Spike: [Robin, quit sending invites over and over, will you? Don’t you think you’re being annoying? Mr. Sullivan’s an old et him catch some sleep for once!]

Ellery: [Exactly, he’s so selfish!]

guy,

Someone tried to calm Robin down. [Robin, why not just let him nap for half an hour? Mr. Sullivan just lay down. Give him

break, alright?]

Robin finally stopped sending invites, his stormy glare giving away his mood.

He was worried he might end up annoying Lucas.

Jnable to sit still, he decided he would try again in a few minutes.

But barely a minute passed before Robin caved and sent another invite.

Mr. Sullivan has stuffed himself and is napping. Stop inviting him already! Can’t you read the room, Robin? You’re being a eal pain!]

Robin did not dare attempt another invitation.

Robin: [Leeanne, did you hack the game or something?]

Robin: [You’ve gone too far!]

Robin felt anger and fear at the same time. He was afraid the invitation card would expire and afraid that Lucas would never

waken.

n his anxiety, Robin forgot the persona he usually maintained and spoke to Leeanne without restraint.

Leeanne was annoyed. ‘What has this got to do with me?‘ she thought.

Of course, she did not want Lucas to head over to Robin’s raft. She was determined to stop Lucas from going.

But how am I supposed to stop him?‘ Leeanne thought. ‘Wait, I have the Wind Direction Control Card!”

She quickly pulled out the Wind Direction Control Card she had gotten earlier.

Do you want to use the Wind Direction Control Card? Once used, you can control the wind direction within 0.3 miles for 10 minutes.]

“Yes!” Leeanne replied without hesitation.

The Wind Direction Control Card flashed, and a small, semi–transparent panel popped up in front of her, with arrows for north, south, cast, and west.

Lucas had just left and was still close by.

Lecanne quickly adjusted the wind around him, pushing him back toward her raft.

Soon enough, Lucas’s boat drifted back to Leeanne’s raft.

Lucas woke up and groggily blinked at Leeanne, still half out of it.

Leeanne waved excitedly. “Sully, you’re back already? Fancy running into you again!”

The sea demon vine whipped around and turned to face him, proudly displaying the same words: “Welcome, Sully!”

Lucas grinned at the sight and leapt onto Leeanne’s raft.
