The Double Drop Buff Surviving The Endless Ocean novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62

In the Local Chat, Myron was flooding the screen. [Check it out. We even have pork!]

Leeanne: [Why didn’t you season the pork? Are you guys out of salt?]

As soon as Leeanne chimed in, the chat exploded.

A person wrote: [Obviously, they’re out of salt! Why else wouldn’t they use any?]

Another said: [I can vouch for that. They traded for all their salt from me, and it wasn’t much.]

Someone else wrote: [Leeanne, hurry up and show us your dinner. We’ve been waiting forever. I can’t take it anymore. They’ve been spamming the same thing for half an hour!]

Another wrote: [Seriously, it’s so annoying. Emmett is eating like a king, too, but he doesn’t act like such a jerk and spam the chat every day!]

Emmett: [Check out my savory lamb skewers!]

The skewers Emmett showed off were the ones he’d just gotten from Rodger in a trade.

When people clicked on the picture, they could see it in crystal–clear detail and could almost smell the delicious aroma wafting from their screens.

That was just how the game was set up.

The chat went wild.

A person wrote: [Whoa, you really piled on the seasoning, huh? I can almost smell it through the screen!]

Another wrote: [Yep, those are legit lamb skewers, grilled just right!]

Someone wrote: [Man, that smells amazing. Makes me miss my favorite BBQ joint. I could honestly cry. When will we ever get to eat skewers again?]

Someone else asked: [Emmett, where’d you score the lamb?]

Myron: [Traded with Leeanne and her crew!]

The chat went even wilder.

A person wrote: Leeanne, hurry up and show us your dinner!]

Another wrote: [Where are Rodger and Danelle? You guys are always together, right? Aren’t you the ones who love to flex? Come on, show off a little!]

Someone wrote: [Show me your dinner and make me jealous!!

Someone else wrote: [I’m so hyped. Hurry up. I just want to catch a whit!]

Danelle was way too excited to wait. She posted the picture of their dinner that she took before they started eating.

The chat went absolutely wild.

A person wrote: [This barbecue feast is totally over the top! Look at all those plates, all those skewers. I wouldn’t have dared to eat this lavishly even before all the survival madness.]

Another wrote: [The whole table’s loaded. Let me count, beef skewers, lamb skewers, chicken wings, fish, spicy rabbit… My eyes can’t even take it all in!]

Someone wrote: [Look, strawberries and watermelon. They actually have fresh fruit after dinner. That’s just rubbing it in!]

Someone else wrote: [And beer! As if stuffing themselves with skewers wasn’t enough, now they’re washing it down with beer? That’s just evil.]

Another wrote: [I’m officially dead. This envy is killing me!]

The chat was blowing up. Some folks were straight–up jealous, some were just salty, and the envy levels were through the roof.

Suddenly, someone spoke up, clearly after some serious thinking. [Hasn’t anyone noticed? If you hang with Leeanne, you get all the meat, all the booze, and endless fruit…]

A person wrote: [I figured that out ages ago. Leeanne’s always snagging first place. But how do I get to roll with Leeanne?]

Another wrote: [Leeanne, do you need another sidekick? I’m the 120–pound model, just say the word!]

Someone wrote: [Move over, you’re way too heavy. Leeanne, how about a 75–pound sidekick?]

Someone else wrote: [Leeanne, I’m the charming type. Do you need a handsome accessory?]

Another wrote: [Leeanne, forget the charming guys, how about a stunning big girl as your accessory?]

Some folks were scrutinizing every pixel of that picture, not letting a single detail slip by.

Even though the photo was just a shot of a table piled with food, they still managed to spot the tiniest details hiding in the

comers.

They wrote: [Hey, take a closer look. They’re definitely sitting on chairs. I can see the chair legs. All that food’s on a pretty big wooden table with some cool designs!]

Another asked: [So Leeanne’s already got a table and chairs? Oh yeah, she scored the blueprints for them earlier!)

Someone wrote: (Man, I’m still stuck sitting on a wooden chest, and they’ve got the full setup. The difference between us in unreal‘]

Someone else wrote: Myron’s still eating off a wooden chest!)

A person wrote: [All he’s got is some grilled meat with salt Seriously, don’t even bring him up, he’s nowhere near Leeanne’s level!)

Another wrote: [Why not mention him? He’s been spamuning us for half an hour Time to give him a taste of his own medicine! Myron, what’s up? Not flexing anymoret]

Someone wrote: [It’s just way too lame to show off now!]

Another wrote: [Man, he is so embarrassed he can’t even flex anymore!)

Myron had been staring at the picture Danelle posted, unable to look away

The food in the photo was practically oozing with the aroma of cumin, spices, and chili, all those mouthwatering scents hit him like a punch to the gut.

He gritted his teeth, fighting off the envy and resentment, but couldn’t help sniffing the screen for ages, just to satisfy his cravings a little.

He was burning with anger, envy, and a whole mess of emotions he couldn’t even name.

Before he could even process all that, the chat was already roasting him.

People were throwing shade left and right.

He was absolutely fuming.

Myron snapped in the Local Chat: [You are a bunch of snobs!]

He was throwing shade at everyone so obviously that people jumped in: [Who are you talking to? Getting salty because you got called out?]

A person wrote: [Yeah, got slapped down and now he’s having a meltdown!]

Another wrote: [Serves him right. So what if he made it to an island once? Look at him, acting all smug.

[When it comes to skills, loot, or how loaded he is, he’s nowhere near Leeanne. And you never see Leeanne spamming the chat like this!]

Myron went silent.

Seething, he shut off the chat screen in frustration, kicked the wooden chest beside him hard, and snarled, “Leeanne, just you wait!”

One of his teammates quickly spoke up. “Leeanne’s just lucky, that’s all. When the island hunt starts, luck won’t mean a thing. Without real strength, she won’t stand a chance!”

Another teammate added, “Exactly! When that time comes, Leeanne will just be fresh meat for the taking”

Myron kept stewing in his anger for a long time.

Leeanne had already closed the chat screen. She and the others spent ages just lounging in their chairs, chatting away before finally packing up the leftovers.

Then she split up the rest of the food and sent it to Rodger and Danelle.

They had 24 hours to claim it

So they could just wait until they got back to their own rafts to grab it.

The group started sorting through all the stuff they’d picked up on the island

On the island, Danelle had snagged a rabbit and some wild oranges, while the rest was just wood, stones, and iren

Rodger’s haul was pretty much the same, except he’d managed to take down a lamb too.

William had scored a bunch of chestnuts and peanuts, and he’d already handed them over to Leeanne

Leeanne didn’t hesitate to take them. She figured she could use them as seeds and pay him back with the harvest later.

Finally, William pulled out a few plants and said. “I had a feeling these weren’t just any old weeds, so I dug them up. Do you think they could be useful?”

Leeanne took a closer look.

[Zephyr Root: One of the main herbs used to make a healing salve.]

“Nice work, William. Thanks a bunch, this is seriously useful!” Leeanne’s face lit up with excitement.

She thought William was pretty lucky, and his instincts were spot on. Even without any herb knowledge, he could still tell the difference between real herbs and regular weeds.

That was seriously impressive.
