On Castaway Day 9. Andrea woke up right at six like clockwork, washed up, and started paddling.

After working up a fullbody sweat, she felt refreshed and clearheaded.

Dustin had already made breakfast early. There were pancakes and oatmeal waiting for her.

It had also packed two daysworth of easytoeat food for the dungeon, panfrying dozens of raviolis, roasting several swee potatoes, and washing fruit to use as snacks.

Everything was portioned out neatly so Andrea could eat it easily inside the dungeon.

She packed it all into her space while it was still warm to keep the heat in. Having a hardworking robot around makes me happiness level shoot through the roof,she thought.

A little before eight, Andrea used the NPC trial card for the second time.

She couldn’t help feeling excited, wondering what identity she’d get this time.

Right at 8:00, all the registered players were teleported into the dungeon on schedule.

The moment Andrea stepped onto solid ground, a wave of emotion hit her.

The feeling of standing with both feet firmly planted was so familiar and yet so strange that it left her slightly dazed.

System: [Welcome, players, to Lost World 01. This is a beginner dungeon with no mandatory mission.

[Bonus mission available: Find the Silver Key. Players who complete it will receive generous rewards.]

[Warning: Don’t casually enter mutant wolf territory. You may be attacked. Don’t enter buildings marked by red perimeter lines. Danger may be present.

[Please enjoy your vacation to the fullest.]

The announcement echoed several times, and Andrea stopped walking. She was currently standing on a raised highway slope.

Spread out before her was a ruined city with no trace of life. Empty. Silent.

A inventory suddenly appeared on her back. It was the gameissued supply pack for players and had a capacity of about 35

cubic feet.

They specifically give everyone a inventory. Does that mean the city is loaded with supples Andrea telt a thicker of

excitement.

Not wanting to waste any time, she tugged at the straps and immediately headed toward the city

The road beneath her feet was covered in dense cracks, split apart by underground plants forcing their way up.

Andrea walked carefully. One careless step and she could fall straight into one of those abysslike fissures that looked like giant open jaws.

As she neared the city outskirts. Andrea ran into the mutant wolves mentioned in the warning

They prowled along the roadside, but when they saw her pass by, they didn’t react at all.

These places looked like they had already been owned commitless times. There wasn’t a trace of food or daily necessities left, only large audiences too bulky for anyone to ratly why

Luky, one of them will looked functional, so it still counted as a decent haul.

Even though Andrea had her space, it currently only held around 1000 cubic feet, so she didn’t dare collect too much.

In the city center stood a tall building cordoned off with red warning lines.

This had to be the redlined building the game announcement warned about. No entering Dangerous.

Andrea wondered, deciding to get a little closer, Looking is fine as long as I don’t go in, right?

She walked right up to the entrance and stopped beside the warning line.

Andrea stared inside for several minutes. There were lights on, but she didn’t see any people or monsters coming out

Not wanting to waste too much time, Andrea decided to search elsewhere first for supplies and clues

She turned to leave Suddenly, someone called out from behind her.

She wasrit even mure if they were talking to her, so Andrea turned around.

Hey Yeah, you. I’m talking to you, the beast called out again

Chapter 20

Andrea hurned to stand by the stove grabbing a pan even though she had no idea what she was supposed to make

What do they even eat? she wondered

The newcomer was a small female horn beast wearing rough linen clothes, with a little pouch hanging from her waist. ( the pouch was a silver horn charm

Andrea remembered the male horn beast from earlier had one too. The one she had gotten herself was gold, and she st had no idea what it did.

The female horn beast seemed relieved. Orion, where d you run off to this morning?

We’ve got some bigshot leaders here these next few days. Boss said we re not allowed to wander too far

As she spoke, the horn beast dumped a pack of pasta into a pot, filled it with water, and turned on the heat

She kept rambling the whole time. “Good thing you made it back on time. If the bosses go hungry, boss is senously goni feed us to the wolves

Andrea kept her head lowered, staring at the pot while listening closely for information

At the same time, she couldn’t help sighing inwardly. So this time the name is just Orion?

What do the leaders like to eat?Andrea asked carefully.

The female horn beast clearly froze for a second. There was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Then she looked at Andrea seriously and replied, As long as it’s made by you, it’s fine. You’re the cook.

It was like she had finally found the answer she was looking for.

The horn beast instantly brightened up and started humming a little tune while dumping unwashed vegetables straight in he pot.

Then she poured in an entire packet of salt, another packet of sugar, and a whole jar of chili.

The sight made Andrea’s eyes hurt. She wondered, If they serve this to the leaders, won’t they really get ted to the wolves?

For the sake of her own survival, Andrea quickly snatched control of the cooking

She said, Let me handle it. Didn’t you just say I’m the cook?

Oh, right. Then I’ll go wash the dishes, the horn beast said, then ran out in a flash

Andrea wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and unmediately russed the vegetables in the pot with water

After checking what seasonings were available, she quickly made a vegetable salast
