Scarface grabbed a thick table leg with his right hand, lifted a massive metal table over his head, and strolled over, looking totally relaxed.

‘Damn, that’s some serious strength, Andrea thought.

Andrea and Dominic gaped at the table, which was the size of a wooden cabin.

Scarface slammed the table down at the doorway and dumped the heap of junk metal onto it.

“Come on, fix it right here!” he ordered.

“You’ll let me go once it’s fixed?” Andrea asked, giving him a questioning look.

Scarface crossed his arms, his face hard and unyielding. “Fix it first, then we’ll see.”

Andrea wanted to talk to him. This place was decent, but she couldn’t keep dragging things out forever.

But before she could say anything, Scarface gave her a smug look.

He sneered, “You’re not getting off this island without my permission. The energy shield’s already up.

“Fix it, and I’ll let your messing up my island slide. Don’t think I noticed you took two of my foundation stones?”

When Scarface brought up the foundation stones, Andrea felt her conscience prickle a bit.

‘Yeah, swiping someone else’s stuff does make me feel awkward,’ she thought.

Messing with an NPC like him wasn’t worth the trouble, so for now, she’d play along.

But there was no way she was letting him walk away with everything.

Her eyes darted as she feigned hesitation. “Alright, but…”

“But what?” Scarface raised an eyebrow, already getting a bad feeling about this.

“I need energy cores to fix it,” Andrea said, examining the junk in front of her.

She looked serious. “This thing’s badly busted. I’ll need at least ten.”

Andrea thought to herself, ‘Ten might be pushing it.

“But I have to get him to cough up at least five.’

“I thought you’d ask for more. Take them!” Scarface scoffed.

He’d been frowning, but when he heard that, he rolled his eyes in annoyance.

He chucked a small pouch her way. When Andrea opened it, she found ten energy cores inside.

Andrea was speechless.

‘If I’d known it was this simple, I would’ve asked for more,‘ she mentally kicked herself.

She put the energy cores away. “My repair skills are pretty secretive. I can’t show them off in public. I need a private room.”

“No problem,” Scarface replied, tapping something invisible in the air.

In an instant, a room appeared around Andrea. It looked like he got an interface like the players do on their islands.

Andrea pointed at Dominic. “Let him help me. Come back in an hour.”

“Man, you’re such a pain,” Scarface muttered, sounding impatient. But when he saw Andrea’s determined expression, he swallowed his annoyance and kept quiet.

“Fine. If you haven’t fixed it in an hour, I’ll toss you into the ocean to feed the sharks!” he threatened.

With that nasty warning, he stormed back to his room and slammed the door shut.

Dominic had his head bowed, but the sudden slam of the door made him flinch hard.

“How did you know I was Andrea?” Andrea asked, shooting Dominic a curious look.

Dominic suddenly looked as confused.

When it finally clicked, his face lit up. “Whoa, you’re the legendary Andrea?”

“You really didn’t know?” Andrea asked in confusion.

“What?” Dominic’s eyes went wide.

‘Should I know?‘ Dominic thought.

Something clicked for Andrea.

‘That damn catchphrase,‘ she grumbled inwardly.

Once she’d collected herself, Andrea asked, “So, what are you doing here?”

Dominic was unusually quiet, which was nothing like the nonstop talker Andrea remembered.

‘What kind of nightmare did he go through to end up like this?‘ she wondered.

But as soon as Andrea asked, Dominic’s face flushed hard.

Andrea was startled. ‘Why is he blushing so much all of a sudden?‘ she wondered.

ts whole body was made of black and white metal.

nlike the robot dogs in real life, this one was almost indistinguishable from an actual dog. It looked and moved like the real thing.

Andrea watched as the robot dog rose to its feet and lifted its head to look at her.

Its shiny black eyes sparkled like glass marbles, bright and lively.

It said, “Boss, happy to be at your service!”

Andrea’s pupils dilated a bit, and a big smile spread across her face.
