This time, Scarface didn’t voice any complaints.
Anyway, Andrea was stuck on his island. Without his say–so, she wasn’t going anywhere.
Andrea noticed how exhausted he looked, like he hadn’t slept a wink last night.
He must’ve really gone through a lot to get those 200 energy cores so quickly.
Is this what true love is?‘ Andrea wondered, not really getting it, but she respected it anyway.
Dominic sat on the steps by the door, keeping an eye on the entrance for Andrea.

The robot dog sat at the bedside with her, occasionally casting wary glances at the female robot lying on the bed.
Andrea noticed the way it acted, and her mind started racing with possibilities.
Could the robot dog be picking up on something dangerous?‘ she wondered.
Thinking about it, she quietly grew more alert.
Reforging the robot was almost instant, but Andrea didn’t want it to seem too easy, so she claimed it’d take two hours to keep up appearances.
She sat by the bed with her eyes closed, taking a quick rest. When there were only fifteen minutes left, she activated the Reforge skill on the female robot.
Reforge complete! You’ve obtained an advanced companion robot with hyper–realistic mimicry. It is loyal to you and can even die for you. It is the ultimate professional partner, but it won’t go crazy over you. Chance to awaken real feelings: 1%.]
Andrea was speechless.
She mused, ‘This robot is exactly what Scarface wanted. Talk about getting your wish.
But with that last line, it’s pretty clear this whole thing isn’t gonna have a happy ending!’
This time, Andrea didn’t turn the robot on.
She was worried that if the robot ended up recognizing her as its owner, it’d be a real headache.
Scarface would be chasing her down with a machete every single day.
She put the blue dress on the female robot and ran her fingers through the robot’s black hair to smooth it out.
Scarface had given Andrea the dress and asked her to help the robot change into it.
Scarface might seem like a tough guy, but he actually had a soft side.
“Wow, she’s gorgeous, Andrea couldn’t help but marvel as she looked at the robot
It made her wonder who had built her, because the craftsmanship was absolutely flawless.
Compared to Dustin’s rough–and–ready construction, this female robot was on a whole other level. She was like a work of art, every detail polished to perfection.

But even so, Andrea still liked Dustin best.
“But if she’s so perfect, how did she get damaged and end up abandoned on the ocean floor?‘ Andrea wondered.
Now that she thought about it. Dustin had been pulled out of the sea too.

Suddenly, Andrea felt a real itch to go exploring the deep. There had to be all kinds of hidden treasures down there.
But with what she could do right now, all she could do was daydream about it.
Andrea raised her voice and shouted for Dominic and Scarface to come in.
Dominic caught sight of the gorgeous, lifelike woman sitting by the bed, and instantly got goosebumps all over.
Scarface blushed right away.
Andrea asked him to start up the robot, but he fidgeted and acted all bashful for a bit.
As Scarface moved closer to the robot, Andrea instinctively put some distance between herself and the bed.
She still remembered how on edge the robot dog had been earlier.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
Scarface should be okay, right?‘ Andrea wondered.
is that thought crossed her mind, Andrea saw Scarface suddenly get launched out of nowhere.
There was a huge bang as he slammed into the floor, landing more than ten yards from the bed.
Scarface let out a hiss.
Damn, that was brutal!‘ she thought.
The robot dog crouched low, snarling and glaring at the female robot, standing protectively in front of Andrea.
Andrea finally turned around to see what was going on.
The female robot must’ve been activated. Her long leg was still extended from the kick, and her sapphire–like eyes darted
round, taking everything in.
she slowly got to her feet, stretching out her stiff limbs.
Scarface had already gotten back up, clutching his aching chest, but he still shuffled right back over.
Jade, want to kick me again?” he asked, flashing a sheepish smile.
Andrea was roasting Scarface in her head for having naming skills as bad as hers, but when she heard the last line, she almost spit out her breakfast out.
Jade didn’t even spare him a glance and walked right past him.
She headed straight for Andrea.
“Heads up, Andrea!” Dominic shouted.

He was crouched by the cabinet, anxiously calling out the warning.

Andrea stayed put. She figured there was no point in running. She’d never be able to keep up with a robot like that anyway.
Those legs were ridiculous, way longer than hers. like they could go on forever.
If she tries to kick me, I’ll have to burn a Defense Card, Andrea thought.
The robot dog planted itself in front of Andrea, letting out a low, threatening growl at Jade. One more step and it was ready to go full attack mode.
Jade finally noticed the robot dog and came to a halt.
But she kept her eyes locked on Andrea, making Andrea feel seriously creeped out.
Scarface tried to sidle up again, but Jade punched him square in the face, stone–faced the whole time.
The punch landed hard, and his nose started gushing blood instantly.
His good–looking face instantly swelled up.
ade didn’t even look his way.
Andrea got the chills from Jade’s intense stare and was about to try talking to her.
Then she saw something totally bizarre. Jade actually blushed.
A female robot was actually shooting her a bashful glance.
Andrea felt her own cheeks flush out of nowhere. She thought. What the heck? I’ve never dealt with anything like this.
Jade, you’re stunning. I can’t help but have a bit of crush on you.
But come on, we’re not meant to be!‘
Andrea practically yelled in her mind, feeling both flustered and helpless.
Andrea spun around and took off running.
Scarface, she’s fixed. Time to pay up. I’m off to grab my loot for two hours!” Andrea yelled as she dashed out.
Scarface waved her away and couldn’t care less.
He had eyes only for Jade now. Andrea was nowhere in his thoughts.
Andrea. Dominic, and the robot dog headed straight for the backyard.
Dominic could’ve bailed anytime, but he chose to stick around and help Andrea out. Honestly, if it wasn’t for her, he’d probably still be trapped on this island with no end in sight.
Dominic went off to catch some chickens. Andrea started picking fruit. The robot dog dug up some fruit and veggie seedlings, waiting for Andrea to come grab them.
Andrea was like a monkey, scrambling up the trees in no time.
She never used to be able to do that, but now that her physical stats had gotten a boost, climbing trees was a piece of cake.

As soon as her hands touched the fruit, she stashed it right into her space.

Dominic caught eight hens and two roosters. He tied them all up in a row with rope so Andrea could haul them away without any hassle.
Then Dominic rushed over to help Andrea pick fruit and dig up saplings.
Andrea found some jujube, chestnut, and pomelo trees.
She even stumbled across a patch for seasonings, including green onions, ginger, garlic, spices, and chili peppers.
“Take it all!‘ Andrea thought.
She tossed the fruit straight into her space, each kind taking up its own slot. With so many slots open, she could grab as much as she wanted. no worries about running out of space.
Andrea was determined to hunt down fruit saplings, veggie seedlings, and anything else she could plant. She had to keep the farm sustainable for the long haul.
Andrea found some mint, which was perfect for the sweltering heat.
