happening on the shore crystal clear.

They were all on edge. After all, they were dealing with a bunch of non–player characters.

Leeanne gave Apprentice 23 a pat on the shoulder. “Appreciate it, Apprentice 23.”

Then she turned and headed to the back of the boat.

“Kill them!” Bob bellowed.

“Kill them!” his whole clan joined in, echoing his furious cry.

With a flurry of whizzing sounds, a storm of weapons hurtled toward them.

Startled, Leeanne hurriedly backed away.

With a loud bang, an iron axe crashed into the back of the wooden boat; making a metallic clang as it bounced off, nearly falling into the water.

Leeanne flicked her whip and caught the iron axe, pulling it over to her.

[You’ve obtained a Rare iron axe!]

Leeanne was thrilled and called out, “Viney, scoop up the weapons!”

“On it!” The sea demon vine’s tendrils whipped around with a flurry, snatching up a bunch of weapons and tossing them onto the deck with a series of loud thuds.

The wooden boat sped off, the shoreline quickly disappearing behind them. Leeanne could still catch a few angry voices. trailing after in the distance.

“My axe–my weapon’s gone!”

“Ah, my blade is missing too!”

“You shameless thieves! Give our weapons back!”

The shouting faded, and soon the coast vanished completely, leaving only the vast, empty sea stretching out ahead.

Leeanne let out a sigh of relief. When she turned around, she saw Rodger, Danelle, Emmett, and the others all looking at he with admiration.

Emmett was the first to give her a thumbs–up. “Leeanne, you’re a legend! Stealing their wood wasn’t enough, now you went and grabbed their weapons too. Respect!”

Danelle said, “Leeanne, you just swiped weapons from non–player characters… Aren’t you worried they’ll totally hate you for it?”

Gideon just shrugged. “Afraid of what?”

Leeanne sighed. “Honestly, I’m pretty scared. But at this point, what’s the use? What’s done is done.”

She didn’t even mean to snatch them. The weapons practically threw themselves at her.

She had this fuzzy sense that the non–player characters were stuck following some kind of rules. Like, they could’ve boarded the boat and chased them, but they just didn’t.

So, does that mean non–player characters can’t actually chase players out on the water? Leeanne wondered.

But she didn’t waste time thinking about it. Eh, whatever–score one for me!‘ she thought,

Gideon picked up a long blade, checked it out, then turned to Leeanne. “Name your price–I’ll buy it

He handed the blade over to her.

[Advanced Long Blade: Extremely sharp. Quality: Advanced, Additional Effect: Luck.]

So it’s a lucky blade. No wonder Gideon’s so into it, Leeanne thought.

Since it was just Advanced quality, Leeanne didn’t care for it and casually tossed it to Gideon. “Here, it’s yours.”

Leeanne checked out the rest of the weapons. Aside from that rare iron axe, there was an Advanced hammer, but the really have much use for it.

She could always sell it off.

Everyone was taking a breather. Danelle and Snowy were relaxing in a hammock chair, playing with the panda cub, wi Rodger, William, Emmett, and the rest were gathered around the table.

After hours of chopping down trees, everyone was beat.

Rodger said, “Leeanne, I’ve already sent you all the wood I chopped. Just grab it whenever you get a chance.

Danelle chimed in, “Same here!”
