Leeanne danced at the time it had only been a litle over an hour, and the still had seven or eight hours to spare. There was no way the was going to trims on on these snow fungus and matsutake
She gave Apprentice 2 a quick heads up, then stepped off the path to start gathering the snow fungus.
(Gathered 1 Snow Yongu, With Gatherer’s Luck active today, year got a 10x critical hit! You’ve obtained 10 Snow Fungus and added them to your backpack)
Walt, Gatherers Luck works on mushrooms too? Leeanne blinked in surprise.
She grinned, then realized, Ohi, picking, mushrooms counts as foraging, huh? I totally forgot about Gatherer’s Luck. Next time I spent anything, edible, I won’t miss it
Leeanne continued her harvest.
Gathered 1 Matsutake. With Gatherer’s Luck active today, you scored a 3x crit! You’ve obtained 3 Matsutake and added them to your backtrack)
Before she knew it, Leeanne had picked up all the snow fungus and matsutake in the area, and she found herself off the path without even noticing
Apprentice 28 thought it wasn’t a big deal since they weren’t far from the path, so he just strolled behind her, totally relaxed After picking all the snow fungus and matsutake, Leeanne looked up and caught sight of a butterfly perched on a branch
It was a vibrant butterfly with multiple layers of wings, each one a different color–every shade of the rainbow. Gorgeous, but with a hint of something uncanny
The butterfly wasn’t very big, just about half the size of Leeanne’s palm.
Leeanne took a cautious step back.
“With colors that bright, I really hope it’s not poisonous, Leeanne thought.
Apprentice 23 hurried over, and when he spotted the colorful bug, his eyes lit up. “Is that a Prism Butterfly?”
“Shh, keep your voice down, Leeanne whispered.
Apprentice 28 grinned. Looks like we’re about to find the golden pomelo trees.”
“Prism Butterflies love to perch on golden pomelo trees,” he explained. “Since we just spotted one, that means the grove
must be close, Let’s follow it
Apprentice 23 snapped her fingers lightly, and the Prism Butterfly, as if it sensed a breeze, fluttered up, danced through the air, then turned and flew straight into the thick woods,
“Come on, let’s follow it!” Apprentice 24 urged.

The three of them followed the Prism Butterfly all the way, and finally arrived at a grove of golden pomelo trees.
These were Advanced Golden Pomelo Trees.
Their leaves were bright yellow, and the bark was snow–white. If they cut one open, they would find the wood inside was yellow as well.
Each tree stood tall and sturdy, just like the red fanwood from before, spaced evenly throughout the grove.
They were all uniform in size and thickness.
Honestly, Bob really knew how to plant trees.
Leeanne chopped down a golden pomelo tree and scored a 10x crit, bagging 100 wood blocks. She was about to go for the next tree when Snowy called out, “Wait, Master, something’s not right. No, there’s someone else here.”
“What?” Leeanne froze, worry flashing across her face. “Who is it? Where are they?”
“Someone’s here with me, Master. I’m coming to you now,” Snowy replied.
It wasn’t long before Snowy came running over.
Apprentice 23’s eyes widened in surprise when he heard the news. ‘If there’s really someone else on the island, that’d be bad news for us, he thought.
So Snowy led the way, and the others followed. After about half an hour, they arrived at a courtyard.
It was a charming little courtyard, surrounded by a crimson wooden fence.
The courtyard was neither too big nor too small, featuring a decorative rock garden, a wooden gazebo, wooden tables and chairs, and a row of small warehouses. On the south side, there was a well and a tiny pond.
Everything was so delicate and beautiful.
Even the wooden fence was carved with intricate patterns.
Inside stood a two–story villa, beautifully crafted from golden pomelo wood. It was about five or six in the evening, and the iky was just starting to dim. The lights inside had all come on, filling the place with a warm, golden glow.
It felt bright and cozy.
Wind chimes dangled from the villa’s eaves, chiming gently whenever the breeze swept by.
Leeanne’s eyes lit up with excitement. ‘Wow, this courtyard and house are absolutely stunning, she thought, feeling a rush of
admiration.
“Master, there’s someone inside the house. He was just in the courtyard. Wait, he’s coming out! Hide, quick!” Snowy whispered, her voice tense and urgent.
The group quickly ducked behind the trees.
The door opened with a sound, and out came a short, chubby man in his thirties, sporting a thick beard. He wore a practical, short–sleeved outfit and was holding a saw.
Leeanne was taken aback. This guy looked so much like Bob. It was as if they’d been stamped out of the same mold.

He was younger than Bob, though, with an innocent, almost naive expression and a slightly blank look in his eyes. Apprentice 23 let out a sigh of relief. “That’s Bob’s youngest son, Bob 18. Luckily, he’s here alone.”
Leeanne looked puzzled. “Didn’t you say Bob’s whole family went to the wedding feast?”
Apprentice 23 cleared her throat, looking a bit embarrassed. “Looks like the intel was off. Bob 13 didn’t go. He’s a bit slow, and Bob was worried he might embarrass the family, so he left him here.”
Apprentice 49 piped up, “Apprentice 23, was that intel from Apprentice 8 and Apprentice 9? Aren’t they supposed to be working out at sea? How do they know so much?”
Apprentice 23 shot him a glare. “Mind your own business!”
Apprentice 49 pouted. “I bet I know what happened. Apprentice 8 and Apprentice 9 probably slacked off again and snuck off to crash Bob’s wedding feast for some free food and drinks!”
Apprentice 23 shrugged. “Hey, that works out for us. At least we’ll know what’s happening over there.”
Leeanne glanced at him in surprise.
Apprentice 8 and Apprentice 9? Oh, so they’re that married couple?‘ Leeanne thought to herself.
Hmm, looks like Lucas and his 49 disciples have some special way of keeping in touch. Otherwise, Apprentice 23 wouldn’t have gotten the news so quickly, she mused.
‘So, who’s getting married?” Leeanne asked.
It’s Bob’s eldest grandson, Bob 11,” Apprentice 23 replied.
Leeanne had a sudden epiphany. “So, does that mean Bob’s second son’s eldest son is called Bob 21, and the second son himself is Bob 22:”
Apprentice 23 nodded, giving her a big thumbs–up.
Leeanne rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. She leaned in and whispered, “Seriously, how many sons and grandsons does Bob even have?”
Apprentice 23 just grinned. “I never bothered to count.”
‘Did he never count, or are there just too many to keep track of?‘ Leeanne wondered.
Apprentice 49 piped up, “Bob has thirteen sons! Apprentice 23 just said Bob 13 is the youngest. Did you forget already?”
Leeanne just stared blankly.
‘Alright, I guess I really spaced out,‘ she thought.
Just then, Bob 13 stood on a wooden bench in the courtyard and started sawing wood.
Leeanne frowned. ‘Uh–oh, that’s not good. What if he wanders out and bumps into players out chopping trees?”
“Even if we could handle him, that’s not the real problem. What if Bob 13 calls for backup and the whole Bob clan shows up?”
Leeanne worried.
Apprentice 23 sighed. “Yeah, it’s a hassle. Lucky for us he’s here alone. And don’t even think about fighting him. He’d wipe
