56 vouch

System: [Special Reward Treasure Chest opened. Obtained Foundation Stone x10, Premium Plot x3, Basic Attribute Boo Card x1, Seedling Mega Pack xl, Locator Card x3.

[Locator Card: Can lock onto a player’s location and teleport directly in front of them or somewhere nearby. Can instant return within 3 minutes.]

As Andrea read the description, a cold smile suddenly curled across her face.

She used the basic attribute boost card first. Then she immediately selected a target for the locator card: Marlon.

At that moment, Marlon was sitting on the same island as his younger brother, Horace, staring at the golden treasure che in front of them, just about to open it.

The two of them were still cursing under their breath, and the moment Andrea teleported over, she heard her own name

Marlon said, her eyes bloodshot, “That bitch Andrea better watch herself. If I ever get my hands on her…”

Before he could finish, Andrea, who had suddenly appeared right in front of him, cut his head clean off.

Horace snapped out of it and lunged at her with a weapon. Andrea flicked her wrist, the knife slicing through the air.

n the split second he dodged, she grabbed the object in front of her that looked like a treasure chest, stuffed it into her nventory, and chose to return to her island immediately.

Andrea’s move had worked entirely because she caught them off guard. If she’d stayed to fight the other one head–on, the vas no guarantee she would’ve won.

Horace was nearly driven insane by the sudden turn of events, especially when he saw Marlon’s severed head roll to his fee

He swung his blade wildly in every direction, slashing at empty air, but the person who had appeared out of nowhere was lready gone.

After a long while, Horace finally calmed down a little. Thinking about how that blade had nearly landed on his own neck nade his scalp go numb.

Clutching his head, his whole body trembling, Horace let out a roar full of terror and rage.

Then it suddenly hit him. He looked around frantically. The chest was gone too.

forace hadn’t gotten a clear look at who it was. All he caught was the rough outline of a tall woman.

But if he ever saw her again, he knew he’d recognize her.

dorace searched everywhere, but there wasn’t even a shadow of the treasure chest left Furious, he opened the Chat

Channel

Back on her island, Andrea collapsed by the door way, all the strength dramed from her body

Leaning against the threshold, she gasped for breath in huge gulps. Her eyes were red, and the hand gripping the blade wouldn’t stop shaking

This was the first time Andrea had killed a person

Before this, everything she’d killed had only been game monsters, and she hadn’t needed much mental preparation for that.

But this was different. This had been a real human being, another player who had come into the game from the real just like her

Andrea hadn’t wanted to kill casually either, but Marlon had already become a serious threat to her safety

Since she could get locator cards from the reward treasure chest, there was a high chance Marlon, as second place could

one too.

If she wanted to survive, Andrea had no choice. She had to strike first.

She took out the treasure chest she had snatched from Marlon and set it on the ground, but she didn’t open it right away

Instead, she opened the Chat Channel first, trying to settle her nerves.

Horace: [Who was it? Who killed my brother? Get out here.]

[What happened? Who’s your brother?]

[That Marlon guy. The one who got second place in the rankings.

[Heard somebody took his head off in one strike. Horace is spamming messages everywhere trying to find the killer.]

[Seriously? That wild?]

[Honestly, sounds like they just got rid of a menace. Think about how many people he’s killed.]

Horace: [If you don’t show yourself now, once I find out who you are, I’ll tear you to pieces.]

Horace: [If you return the treasure chest, I might spare your life.]

Jason: [So it’s about the chest. For a second, I thought this was some touching brotherly loyalty.]

[Exactly. Almost had me tearing up.]

Cyril: [Whichever hero stepped up to deliver justice, you’re welcome to join our Justice Gang. That way no lowlife will dart plot against you.]

Andrea closed the Chat Channel, her brows knitting slightly. She hadn’t expected Marlon to have someone with hum

Good thing the locator card had that instant return function within three minutes.

Otherwise, that would’ve turned into a nasty fight.

Still, what was done was done. Andrea thought, I’ve already killed him.

If anyone comes looking for revenge, I’ll deal with them the same way. Whoever comes, I’ll kill them too.

Andrea opened the treasure chest on the ground Inside were Foundation Stone x8, Premium Plot xl, and Locator Card xl

It was a little worse than her own chest, but still pretty great Sure enough, there really was a locator card inside

With plenty of basic materials on hand, plus some steady daily income from selling campfires. Andrea didn’t hesitate to use

all 18 foundation stones.

Her island had now expanded to about 410 square feet.

First, Andrea widened the bedroom to 13 by 13 feet. The bathroom expanded to 6 by 3 feet. And the fishing rod storage ar stayed the same at 32 square feet.

The farmland expanded to 54 square feet. The paddling workout space at the rear became 20 square feet, leaving 100 squ feet of open space

Andrea quickly threw together some dinner. After eating, she practiced her blade swings.

She felt that being able to kill Marlon in one strike earlier had everything to do with the steady practice she’d kept up thes past few days.

Her hand rose and fell with the blade in one clean motion, without the slightest hesitation.

After her shower, Andrea started sorting through everything she’d gained today.

She opened the seedling mega pack from the game rewards first.

Inside were potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, rice, wheat, sugarcane, tomatoes, spinach, an apple tree, and a coconut tree.

As expected from the system, the contents were ridiculously generous.

The cucumbers had already all been harvested, and now only a dead vine remained.

n total, Andrea had harvested 102 cucumbers. She saved one as a seed, hoping she’d end up with more cucumbers than sh could ever finish.

Now, she had five plots total. One average plot and four premium plots.

Andrea planted the sweet potatoes, tomatoes, apple tree, corn, and coconut tree.

The tomatoes went into the average plot, while everything else used the premium plots.

Then she grabbed a few bottled water containers and started four hydroponic pots of spinach.

Andrea diluted 10 milliliters of growth serum and watered both the soil and the bottles.

The moment the newly planted seedlings touched the serum, they instantly burst with vibrant life, shooting upward until hey were nearly ready to bear fruit.

By tomorrow, she’d be able to harvest the first batch of vegetables and fruit.

Today, killing the infected monsters had earned her 18 blue treasure chests. On top of that, there was also the supply chest he had fished up

Andrea pulled them all out and opened everything at once.

She got Foundation Stone x4, Gold Coin x22, white sugar 500g xa bags, cooking oil 51 x3 jugs, nonstick pan xl, stove x).

fruitwood charcoal x10kg, barbecue skewers x200, one set of clean clothes, damaged tranquilizer bolts x5, and a hair dryer

x1

Looks like today was mostly kitchen gear, she thought.

Andrea dismantled all the empty boxes, and by then it was already getting late.

She still hadn’t used today’s Reforge skill.

Digging around through the odds and ends in her space, she pulled out a lump of damaged metal.

System: [A housekeeping robot. Can help with household chores.)

Yep. You’re the one, Andrea thought.

This was something she had hauled out of the sea with a net earlier.

Nets rarely pulled up anything useful, but sometimes the junk they caught was surprisingly interesting.

System: [Reforge successful. Obtained Advanced Smart Home Robot. Capable of communication and following ow commands.

[Can do housework, complete homework, and even go to work in your place.]

A robot with a faint pale blue metallic sheen all over its body now stood before her.

‘Seriously, why doesn’t something like this exist in the real world? It could go work for me while I just collect the pay Andrea drifted off into the fantasy as she activated the robot.

System: [Robot activated. Please assign a name.]

hat should I call it?‘ she wondered.

Irea was terrible at naming

and too lazy to think hard. She called it Dustin.

System: [Name assign
