Andrea opened the four supply chests and got one average plot, a set of fine ceramic dishes. 5 gold coins, 30 co and 2 iron buckets.

The iron buckets were two to three times bigger than regular buckets. Dustin grabbed them immediately to hol

Dustin had caught a few fish with the net over the past few days and was keeping them in a basin. The fish were! Dustin had to pick them up off the floor every few minutes.

It was I a.m. Andrea yawned and decided to scroll the chat channel to fall asleep. She hadn’t checked it in two day number of players had dropped to 84,545.

Was it because of the dungeon?‘ she mused. Andrea was surprised. She tried to piece it together.

The dungeon had mutant wolves, but they usually didn’t attack unless players entered their detection range. So d something happen to the players who stayed out at sea?‘ she wondered.

Chat Channel:

A player messaged: [Never doing a dungeon again. There are so many tall buildings in the city, but I didn’t find a sui thing. Wasted two days of rations.]

Another player replied: [Tell me about it. I almost got eaten by a mutated wolf.]

A third player chimed in: [I got off easy then. At least I bagged two mutated wolves for their meat. Gonna eat good fo days.]

A fourth player commented: [You’re a legend. I ran away whenever I saw one, and still got chased out of the city by hi beasts.]

A fifth player asked: [Is the city really that bad? I thought I was unlucky for getting teleported to a village and allows a sack of veggies and pasta.]

A sixth player shared: [I got teleported to the wilderness. I foraged a bunch of wild greens and berries, and Levers rabbit. Definitely worth it.]

A seventh player echoed: [I filled a few buckets of spring water outside. Tastes amazing ]

An eighth player sighed: [Lucky you. I was too scared to join the dungeon y

Andrea frowned. She sent Jason a message to see if he knew anything. Jason was probably busy. He didn’t rep Then she didn’t mind. She closed her holographic screen and went to sleep.

At 6 a.m. sharp, Andrea woke up. She washed up and started her morning workout.

Dustin made a creamy fish chowder for breakfast. It tasted way better than anything Andrea had ever made. Sh bliss.

She had walked around the island last night after expanding it, but it looked different in the daylight. Looking a bigger island, Andrea felt a sense of pride.

It was only 1,200 square feet, but it was enough for her daily needs. She checked her current mileage: 720 miles.

Dustin had kept the island moving while she was gone the past two days. ‘Wonder if this counts as cheating, she

Andrea had replaced the energy core in the thruster. She had nine energy cores left. She hoped the next supply s would sell more.

She had gotten a 600–mile acceleration card as a task reward yesterday. She planned to use it today to reach the si station early. This time she’d have more time to look for good trash to pick up.

Andrea spent an hour organizing her inventory and space. She took out one fridge and one freezer and stored all t perishables: meat, veggies, cream puffs, ravioli, and more.

Andrea set out cooking staples like oil and salt, along with flour, pasta, and all manner of cooking utensils, on the lai she had bought at the trading post.

She told Dustin to tidy everything up. Dustin was overjoyed at all the ingredients. It was already planning all the deli meals it would make for Andrea.

Andrea smiled as she watched it, sipping the glass of milk Dustin had just brought her.

She remembered the physical training module from her reward and decided to install it on Dustin when she got back the supply station.

At 10 a.m., Andrea packed her lunch into her space. It was a box of pan–seared salmon, easy to cal on the go.

She gave Dustin a few instructions, then used the acceleration card With the island shicki up, nothing bad would happe Andrea wasn’t worried.

The card vanished from her hand. In the blink of an eye, with no discomfort at all, her mileage jumped to 1,320 miles

The system chime pinged in her mind (Congratulations. You have reached 950 nules Supply Station Triggered Enter“?

“Yes” As she confirmed, the world shifted around her she found herself in a river channel, just like the last time she nodded at Dustin and jumped onto the shore

This supply station looked bigger than the last one. There was a strolling sign under the door, but she couldn’t read what it

said.

It can’t be some kind of civilized city campaign or anything, right she thought Andrea pushed aside the curtain and stepped inside

“Welcome.” The cashier greeted her warmly with a smile. Andrea nodded politely and looked around.

It had everything one could need: clothes, food, shelter, and tools. It was more than twice the size of Bubba’s st

Andrea had plenty of time this time, so she walked through the whole store first. She saw a bottle of water cost 1 and a small chunk of ice cost five.

She thought, ‘Wait. What? That’s way more expensive than the last supply station. It’s jumped up multiple times

Everything else was about the same price as she remembered. She frowned, deep in thought. She thought, So Ja survival calendar is probably right.

Now that she thought about it, it had felt a little warmer at breakfast. It had been so subtle she hadn’t noticed.
