Chapter 17
Andrea was busy summoning monsters and didn’t even glance at the holographic screen.
In just two hours, she had already captured 110 monsters.

No matter what place she ended up in, Andrea would probably still get a pretty decent number of treasure chests.
By noon, she was hungry, so Andrea quickly tore into a piece of bread, took a sip of water, and kept going, racing agains clock.
It wasn’t until 5:30 in the afternoon that all five traps were finally full.
A full five hundred monsters thrashed wildly inside the traps. The whole scene was both horrifying and weirdly surreal.
Andrea set the bombs in place and stepped back a few paces.
She let out a quiet sigh. ‘Such a waste. Those traps could’ve probably been reused if they didn’t get blown up.
Whatever. I’ll just count it as wear and tear.‘
With the detonator in hand, Andrea steeled herself. Just as she was about to press it, something unexpected happened.
A young woman in a white lab coat suddenly appeared out of nowhere right in front of her.
Andrea’s heart jumped. She quickly stumbled backward several steps, hitting the button on the detonator as she retreated
But the woman moved insanely fast. She snatched the detonator right out of Andrea’s hand and shoved a bottle of liquid into it instead.
She said, “Doctor, hurry and use this. It’s the antidote you asked me to rush.”
Andrea froze. ‘What kind of plot twist is this now?‘
She stared at the young woman for a few seconds, stunned.
Then her eyes shifted to the monsters in the traps. Scarlet eyes. Long sharp fangs. Fresh green leaves sprouting from thei heads.
‘An antidote? Does that mean these monsters could still be saved?‘ Andrea wondered.
Seeing that Andrea wasn’t moving, the woman seemed to realize something
Her face turned red and she stammered, “Doctor, don’t worry this time I used every but of the materials you found I swear didn’t skim anything off the top
What? That kind of thing happened too? Andrea’s Jace filled with surprise
The woman hurried on, Tim serious. I swear on my character”
“You’re human?” Andrea blurted out Shed assumed this was another NPC transformed from an stomal
The woman’s face turned even redder “W Well, I was just borrowing a human expression`
“Come on, this is urgent Just spray it directly on then she urged Andrea

Then she ran over to the corner and crouched there with the horn beasts that hadn’t been infected, all of them watch
Then my tokens are gone too, aren’t they?‘ Andrea felt a pang in her chest, but she still picked up the antidote spray.
She thought. ‘If they can be saved, I should save them. Sure, they’re just game monsters, but monsters have rights toc
Comforting herself with that thought, Andrea walked over to one of the traps.
The spray was incredibly fine. One press released a thick mist that settled over the monsters‘ heads.
The moment the antidote touched them, the monsters froze in place as if time had stopped. Every one of them went for several seconds.
Then Andrea saw that some of the lightly infected horn beasts had leaves on their heads beginning to wither, while the in their eyes quickly faded away.
‘Up and at it. Time to work,” the young woman shouted at the dozen or so uninfected horn beasts crouched in the con
Together they rushed to the traps and started pulling the recovered monsters out.
Seeing someone else handling the labor, Andrea moved on to the traps farther back and kept spraying medicine.
Everyone worked fast. By six o’clock, every monster that could be detoxed had already been pulled out of the traps.
There were now ninety–seven deeply infected monsters left in the five traps.
After confirming it with the young woman, Andrea killed them all without hesitation.
Finally, she got 97 tokens and 4 blue treasure chests.
Andrea glanced at the leaderboard on the holographic screen. She now had 101 tokens, putting her in 2.902nd place
First place was still Marlon. He already had 354 tokens and was acting smug in the Chat Channel.
Marlon: [Once I get that first–place reward, I’m settling the score with every single one of you who crossed me You all kn who you are.
Andrea, you’re first.]
bunch of his lackeys immediately piled on underneath.
Andrea shut off the holographic screen and got ready to head farther ahead to see it there were any more monsters Arvsme
She planned to come back later to clean up and dismantle the traps
But before she could leave, the hundreds of monsters started pulling out tokens from then bodies and doing something with them
She couldn’t make heads or tails of a The only thing she knew was that she was drooling over all those toketts
Andrea fought down the urge to snatch them and turned around only rediscover countless monsters in the distance heading toward the shallows
Some had normal eyes Some were infected Some were even dragging along frenzied companions tied up in ropes
“Doctor, quick Please help detox them too. The young woman reminded her

She started spraying wildly as she moved quickly arrow the shalles
The shoreline gradually became too crowded to stand on. Some of the monsters that had already recovered began lea in an orderly line
After thanking Andrea, the idle monsters started jumping into the water and swimming away
Along with the constant splashing sounds, system notifications began popping up one after worker

In just a few short minutes, Andrea had already received over five hundred tokens and more than five thousand gold on
She never stopped moving, and the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.
Looks like doing good deeds really does pay off. This feels amazing she thought.
