The Double Drop Buff Surviving The Endless Ocean novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170

“Yeah, I just talked to the little guy. He’s working just to get a cherry. Apprentice 49 is so adorable!”

“Leeanne is incredible. She can even recruit non–player characters! I’m so jealous. By the way, where’s Demolition Master Apprentice 23?

“Apprentice 23 is on Leeanne’s ship. We’re not with Leeanne. Spent half the day chopping trees and still didn’t catch a glimpse of her. I thought I’d finally get to meet her!”

“I want to meet her too. After all, she’s our boss!”

The players on Apprentice 49’s ship were over the moon. After spending so much time alone on their rafts, facing all sorts unknown dangers, suddenly being surrounded by fellow survivors made them happier than ever.

Players plopped down on the deck in small groups, sharing their stories and experiences. Some found out they were from the same hometown, others bumped into old classmates, and the air was filled with laughter and chatter.

After a busy day, everyone was starving. They dug into the snacks and bottled water they’d brought, eating and drinking together.

As night fell, they asked their friends to send over braziers. One after another, the braziers were lit and placed on the deck. Everyone gathered around them, chatting and eating.

Out on the sea, clusters of flickering flames brought a cozy vibe to the night.

Meanwhile, Leeanne was relaxing in her swing chair, browsing the trading hall. She’d nearly cleared out all the glass in the market, finally gathering enough to finish her two–story villa.

Now it was time to craft the colorful tiles.

[Colorful Tile Blueprint: Colorful tiles, beautiful and sturdy. Materials needed: 2 Common stones, 2 clay, I granite.]

Common stones and clay were readily available in the market, so Leeanne grabbed 24 of each.

No need to buy granite–she already had 12 in her inventory, just enough to use up.

She walked over to the crafting table and loaded up 24 stones, 24 clay, and 12 granite.

[Do you want to craft colorful tiles?]

“Yes!”

[Crafting successful! You’ve obtained 120 colorful tiles.]

The colorful tiles looked amazing–blue tiles with red trim, and they felt super sturdy in her hands.

Turns out, one batch of materials could make 10 colorful tiles. She needed 1000 in total, so 100 batches would do the trick- 200 stones, 200 clay, and 100 granite.

After making 120 tiles just now, she needed even fewer materials.

Leeanne decided to post in the chat, “Buying 200 common stones, 200 clay, and 100 granite!”

She could grab them from the trading hall, but the prices were a bit steep. She was hoping someone had a bulk deal

Chapter 170

Ah meward her panely. Tim on an island with plenty of clay and stones nearby, Leeanne, how about 10 ston

clay for 1 piece of abated wood White Pine or redwood, either works, Deal”

Lee thought for a moment. “How about 20 stones or 20 clay for 1 piece of advanced wood? So you give me 200 s and 200 days, and I’ll give you 20 pieces of advanced wood. That’s just enough to make some furniture”

With the current prices. I wote or I clay could get you I piece of wood, and advanced wood was twenty times more expensive than regular woord. So this trade was pretty fair.

Albany said Deal Wait for me, I’ll dig them up in no time?

She was will short on granite Leeanne waited for a bit, but everyone who DM’d her only had a handful of granite. She apad je bought what she needed from the trading hall.

She picked up a few here, a few there, and before she knew it, she had enough granite.

She figured Arthey would take a while, but to her surprise, he had all the stones and clay ready for trade in just an ho

was busy gathering materials Rodger, Danelle, and the rest had already finished cooking dinner.

Everyone had some snacks or ingredients stashed in their backpacks, and since Leeanne was swamped, she just told the grab whatever they wanted. In no time. they threw together a bunch of food.

Everything was grilled. Tonight was allabout barbecue.

“Leeanne, come on, dinner’s ready!! Danelle called out cheerfully.

Now that she had all the materias she needed, Leeanne wasn’t in a rush anymore. She washed her hands and sat down at table

Danelle and the others set the food out in the dining room and brought over two extra chairs. Now, all six of them could: comfortably.

The spread was amazi grilled meat, fish, shrimp, you name it. And Emmett had even brought over four roasted lamb legs!

Emmett had finallanaged to gather all the spices, and those lamb legs looked mouthwatering, glistening with fat and smelling incredi

Leeanne paused, thinking, Looks like it’s another breakfast haul today. Just finished a sandwich, and now here comes another one. She gathered up all the food and neatly placed it into a wooden chest.

Everyone was left speechless, staring at her in disbelief.

Leeanne waved her hand and let out a sigh. “Guess luck’s not on my side today–no beer for us, it seems.”

Danelle shouted, “You call this bad luck? Even when I get lucky, all I ever get is a sandwich! Leeanne, are you humble bragging right now? That’s just not fair!”

Rodger chimed in, “All I ever get these days are bottled water and pasta. I’m about to puke from eating them so much”

Emmett grinned, “Pancakes? Oh man, I absolutely love those!

Danelle blinked in surprise. “Wait, Emmett, you like that kind of basic stuff too?”

Emmett laughed, “Honestly, at this point, who’s still picky? If it’s a pancake, I’m eating it!”

Leeanne gave her hands a hopeful rub, thinking, Alright, two more shots. If I still don’t get any beer, guess I’ll have to serve everyone tea instead.

She opened the last two chests:

[Opened wooden chest, got 1 orange soda Tossed into her backpack]

1Opened wooden chest, got 1 apple soda. Tossed into her backpack.]

Leeanne smiled. “Well, not bad–no beer, but at least we’ve got some drinks!”

Each soda was a dozen–twelve bottles, more than enough for everyone.

Everyone grabbed the sodas, set them on the table, and dug right back into their meal.

There was a ton of grilled meat tonight–grilled lamb legs, wolf steaks, grilled squid, you name it. Danelle tossed together some stir–fried greens too, just to balance things out

The table was absolutely loaded with food.

Emmett really outdid himself with those four lamb legs, but no way seven people could polish off four whole lamb legs, they just put two on the table.

Everyone had been starving all day, so they went all out, feasting like they hadn’t eaten in days.

OS

Halfway through the meal, Danelle took a bite of grilled squid and let out a sigh. “How long has it been since we all hung out together? I still miss that time we brewed tea around the stove. This game just keeps splitting us up. It’s so hard to get everyone in one place?

Emmett gnawed on a lamb leg and said, “What’s the big deal? Just use a gather card, problem solved.”

Danelle shot him a look. “You’d actually spend a gather card just for a dinner party?”
