Chapter 46
Andrea wondered, ‘What’s the purpose of this cave? Why are there so many foundation stones piled up insider
And in a place this important, there aren’t any monsters guarding it at all!
Andrea felt like she was dreaming. She thought, ‘Can anyone walk in and take them?
If I don’t take some, it would be kind of disrespectful to the foundation stones.
Andrea nodded, agreeing with her own thoughts.
With time to spare before the two hours were up, she hurried into the cave.
She switched on her flashlight and stacked some stones into a makeshift staircase.
Standing on it, she found that the cave ceiling was covered by a layer of soil, completely hiding the foundation stones from
view.
But she could still feel them with her hands.
[Foundation stone detected. Do you want to pick it up?]
The familiar system prompt sounded.
“Yes!” Andrea replied.
At first, everything went smoothly. Andrea didn’t notice any reaction from the island.
When she had collected 400 foundation stones, the ground started to tremble beneath her feet.
Without pausing, she sped up.
She kept going until she took 500.
Suddenly, Andrea heard a bunch of footsteps and someone cursing up a storm outside the cave.
She jumped down and sprinted out of the cave as fast as she could.
The moment she got out, half the cave collapsed behind her.
Dust billowed everywhere as Andrea clutched her chicken and dashed toward the shore.
The robot dog was right at her heels, barking with excitement.
It was practically yelling at Andrea, “This is so exciting!”
Behind her, the shark man roared, “Don’t you dare run. I knew it was you. My precious vegetable patch and my carele watered orchard. I’ll tear you apart!”
Andrea thought, ‘Crap. I ended up wrecking his territory!’
“You’re being unreasonable. Scarface said I could take them, and I haven’t even hit the twee-hour mark yet. Cook hunj Andrea shouted.

Andrea didn’t even look back and kept running for her life.
If he caught her, she’d probably be forced to slave away, planting veggies across the whole moram
The shark man was fast. He was totally losing it. His only goal was to catch Andrea
“He never said you could tear up my vegetable patch!” the shark man roared
“Come on, how was I supposed to know which one was yours?” Andrea shouted back.
“Don’t you dare run. Get back here and plant it for me!” the shark man yelled.
As they neared the shore, the gap between them was closing fast.
Andrea thought, ‘Crap, this guy’s way too quick!’
The beach was a wide stretch of sand, and her feet sank with every step, making it even harder to run
Andrea could feel the shark man’s hand brushing her collar. Her heart was in her throat
“Gotcha!” the shark man crowed.
Then, the robot dog that had been nipping at his heels suddenly grew larger and launched a powerful kark at kun
The shark man was forced to dodge back, but still caught a glancing blow.
“Boss, hop on quick!” The robot dog was so desperate that it actually spoke out loud.
Andrea swung herself onto the robot dog’s back in one smooth motion.
They were only a dozen yards from Andrea’s island now.
The robot dog jumped, sending both of them soaring through the air, and landed steadily on Andreas are
The underwater thruster had kicked into gear. The island’s mechanical arm pushed off the shore with all its Andrea’s island zoomed ahead, covering two hundred yards in a flash
The shark man was left clutching his thigh, cursing Andrea out.
He was too far away for Andrea to hear what he was yelling, but she knew it was something nasty.
Andrea thought, ‘Better run!’
She sat on her island, watching as the edges of Scurface’s island kept wobbling in the distance. I take a revie before it finally stopped shaking.
Andrea didn’t really relax until Scarface’s island was a tiny speck on the horizon
By that point, she’d been sitting there in the blazing heat that was over 10 degrees for half an hour with
Sweat was pouring off her
Dustin had spotted Andrea the moment she started running down the hillside
Seeing Andrew’s situation, it didn’t leave the island rocklessly.

It had already noticed the robot dog and knew exactly what it could do.
So, the instant Andrea and the robot dog touched down, Dustin had the mechanical arm push the island away from die shore for a quick escape
Andrea sat on the ground, zoning out as she stared at the distant island.

Andrea turned to Dustin and said, “Thanks for the quick rescue, Dustin. I would’ve been in big trouble without you
Dustin grinned, his eyes turning into crescent moons
Andrea decided to call the robot dog Scar since she got it on Scarface’s island
She told Scar to give Dustin a hand, then headed back to her bedroom for a shower and a good night’s sleep
The weather was so hot that Andrea decided to make the bathroom two square yards and set it up right in her bedroom for convenience.
At last, she didn’t have to get drenched in sweat every time she squatted over the toilet.
When Andrea woke up, it was already past six in the evening.
Dustin had dinner ready. There were orange-glazed ribs, grilled corn, and fruit salad.
