Finally, Andrea’s gaze stopped on one name.

Fullbelly. Of all her contacts, this one was the best bet.

Back when she’d detoxified the Horn Beasts at the shallows, she’d overheard this person muttering to herself while writing a report, something about how “Fullbelly’s signature is absolutely perfect.”

This person’s profession was related to medicine. Maybe she could help with a small favor.

She was just curious–who named themselves Fullbelly?

Andrea sent a message directly.

Andrea Rowland: [You There? How’s It Going?]

In real life, if she received a message like this, she’d immediately get an ominous, creepy feeling.

She’d start wondering what the other person was going to say next–good or bad.

But now, staring at the chat screen, she didn’t know how to start the conversation, so she had to go with this awkward opening.

The other person replied quickly.

Fullbelly: [Doctor, just tell me what you need. Don’t be like this. You’re scaring me.]

Andrea chuckled softly. So humans and monsters share the same feelings.

She gathered her thoughts.

Andrea Rowland: [Do you have any heat relief remedy for sale?]

Fullbelly: [Yes, but you know the rules. We can’t sell directly to individuals.]

This was a problem. She racked her brain for another way.

Just then, another message came through.

Full Belly: [But I can buy the ingredients for you. The formula is yours anyway. You can just make it yourself.]

Andrea replied a question mark.

“That works?’ she doubted.

But she was a fake. She didn’t have the formula.

Andrea Rowland: [Please send me a copy of the formula. I don’t have it on me. Thanks.]

Fullbelly: [Don’t just leave such a valuable thing lying around, Doctor. Fine, I’ll go copy it. How many batches of ingredients do you want?}

Andrea Rowland: [What’s the price?]

Fullbelly: [Don’t worry. The price is excellent. Cost price for you: 10 gold coins per batch.]

Andrea did the math in her head. Based on the yield of the Blood–Stanching Pill, one batch would probably make about 20 pills.

Making pills by herself was pretty time–consuming.

Andrea Rowland: [Give me 500 batches.]

The other person sent an OK hand sign.

An hour later.

Fullbelly: [Done.]

The 500 batches of heat relief remedies ingredients and the formula arrived. Andrea selected the formula.

[Do you want to learn the heat relief remedy formula? Yes/No.]

[Yes.]

She exclaimed, ‘Good. I can use it directly. Now I just have to mindlessly roll pills.‘

The ingredients cost a total of 5,000 gold coins. She was about to send the payment when Fullbelly sent another message.

Fullbelly: [Same as before, put it on my tab. I’ve got to go now, Doctor. If you come up with any good new formulas, prioritize working with me, okay?]

Andrea suddenly felt she should have ordered another 500 batches. She could definitely roll that many.

After a moment’s thought, she sent 100 gold anyway.

Andrea Rowland: [A little something for your

trouble.]

For the next several hours, Andrea focused entirely on rolling pills.

After finishing 100 batches, she listed them directly.

She posted in the chat channel, [Heat relief remedy listed. 5 gold per pill. First come, first served.]

In Happy Days Group,

Denice Richmon: [I don’t even think of myself as lucky anymore. It’s people like her who are truly lucky. Look–whatever she wants, she gets.]

Gwen Spencer: [What she has is beyond luck. I’m worried the system might treat her like a bug and patch her out.]

Jason Faulkner: [You opened more heat relief remedy again?]

Andrea Rowland: [Just got lucky. I found a heat relief remedy formula. I can roll the pills. If any of you find formulas, come to me. I’ll buy them at a high price!]

Gwen Spencer: [Your hands are going to be raw from all that rolling. Take care of yourself.]

Jason Faulkner: [You’re the boss for a reason. Next time you tell me you can roll gold coins with your bare hands, I wouldn’t even be surprised.]

Andrea sent a grinning emoji with teeth showing.

Then she called for Dustin, who was standing on the robotic arm picking coconuts, and went to the training ground to spar. She could now hold her own against Dustin for a few moves, and her attribute were slowly increasing.

In the evening, Dustin made a giant lobster fried rice. She ate it with great satisfaction.

There was a lot, so she sent a bowl to each person in the group.

They all thanked her and sent gifts in return.

Gwen sent Andrea another 20 crossbow bolts, claiming they were made using a special method–they shot farther than the previous ones, and the tips were sharper.

Denice sent two more Australian lobsters.

Jason sent a small bag of garlic.

She’d gotten a lot of seasonings from the dungeon before, but she hadn’t seen any ginger, scallions, or garlic.

She’d plant the garlic first. It could be used in many dishes.

Before bed, she rolled a few more pills and listed them on the trading post.

*****

At 8:00 AM on the next morning, Andrea was practicing archery. Gwen’s new crossbow bolts were indeed better than the ones she’d made herself.

She was completely focused when Dustin hurried over.

An island had been spotted in the distance.

She ran outside excitedly and looked out. It was probably a player’s island.

This was the second player she’d encountered at sea. The first had been Denice.

The other person had clearly spotted her too and was waving vigorously.

But she was just watching out of curiosity. She had no intention of a friendly exchange.

Besides, whether they’d be friendly was uncertain.

The other person was male. His island didn’t look big–about 300 square feet.

He was too far away to see clearly.

He kept waving enthusiastically and shouting something, but Andrea couldn’t make out the words.

Dustin, change direction. Full speed ahead.”
