[System Announcement. Good evening, dear players.

[The game is about to launch a new dungeon quest

[Before the dungeon opens, to liven things up, the game will host a “Homestead Construction Showdown on Day 15 of the Survival Calendar.

[Note: This is a cross-server competition.

[Players will earn construction points. Rankings are determined by the number of points.

[Construction points can be earned through island development and likes from other players.

[Players can earn construction points by expanding their island, building facilities, decorating, and beautifying their homestead, and raising pets.

[The game will display server rankings at 10 AM on Day 15, and the cross-server ranking competition will run from 7 PM 8 PM.]

[Once the cross-server rankings go live, you can vote for your favorite island builders. For every 1000 votes, I construction point will be given to the players you voted for.

[The top 100 players will receive generous rewards. Keep building your

homesteads!]

After the announcement ended, the Chat Channel erupted again. Andrea took a look at her supplies and checked out how her island was set up.

When she saw the 502 foundation stones she still hadn’t used, her confidence shot up.

‘I bet not many players have this many foundation stones, Andrea thought to herself.

In the Chat Channel.

Chapter 47

Day 2, at 6 AM, Andrea got up to start her morning workout.

She headed to the training ground and spent 40 minutes running laps back and forth.

After a quick wash-up, she sat down to have breakfast.

Dustin now had the ultimate little sidekick.

He walked ahead with a steaming pot of soup, while Scar trailed behind, carrying the side dishes and fruit for dessert on its back.

They moved along without a hitch. Four legs really would make things a lot steadier.

After breakfast, Andrea and Dustin trained together for an hour before finally wrapping it up.

It was time to kick off her island construction project.

She kicked things off by putting down all 502 foundation stones. With plenty of supplies in her stash, she had zero worries about running out.

It was a good thing she’d sold off a bunch of stuff lately.

Not only did she rake in a nice stash of gold coins, but she also scored a hefty pile of supplies.

Expanding her island was an ongoing project. Basic materials were always in demand. She’d need to keep finding things to sell off.

But that kind of valuable junk that could be recycled for a ton of supplies was usually only found at the Supply Station.

Her best bet was to hope she could grab another trash can next time she visited the Supply Station.

Andrea had only noticed this over the past couple of days.

The trash can she grabbed from the Supply Station last time had a massive 5 cubic yards of storage inside.

She placed the trash can right on her island, letting the mechanical arm dump trash straight into it instead of leaving everything scattered on the ground.

Her island looked way tidier now.

With the temperature soaring, the temperature-control unit stayed at 20 square yards. Andrea didn’t bother changing the size of her bedroom.

She doubled the training ground to a whopping 120 square yards. Now shooting practice was finally hassle-free

She expanded both the kitchen and Dustin’s room by 20 square yards each.

Scar didn’t need a bed, so Andrea hunted around the Trading Post and scored a super cozy nest for him.

Scar was over the moon about it, wagging its tail so hard for Andrea.

Its tail thumped so loudly against the doorframe. Andrea couldn’t help but jump back a step

Andrea set up the cozy nest in Dustin’s room. Soon, Scar and Dustin were already inseparable buskdies.

Andrea only had five plots to work with, but there were so many types of se

for all of them.

Back when her island was smaller, she had to keep rotating her crops.

Now her island had expanded to 664 square yards, with plenty of open ground.

Seeing all those seedlings and still not having enough spots to plant them, it honestly made her feel a bit miserable.

She spent an hour hunting for more land in the Trading Post and Chat Channel, but in the end, all she managed to get was a single average plot. She traded for it with one Blood-Stanching Pill.

She fenced off the new plot and also fenced off a small yard around her house.

She fenced in a chicken run for her eight chickens.

These were mutant chickens. Unlike people, they didn’t mind the heat at all.

With the temperature hitting over 120 degrees, they weren’t influenced at all. They were still thriving.

Andrea couldn’t help but be jealous of how they never seemed to feel the heat or break a sweat.

Whenever Andrea stepped outside, beads of sweat rolled down her face.

The chickens on Scarface Island had been fully tamed. They were contentedly eating the food Dustin prepared for them. with no intention of flying away.

Dustin thoughtfully built them a cozy nest for laying eggs. In the morning, it gathered five fresh eggs and made Andher tasty shrimp and egg omelet,

As she finished putting up the fence, it hit ten o’clock.

A holographic screen popped up in front of everyone, showing the homestead leaderboard for the server.

Right at the top, Andrea’s name was bold and clear, with a whopping 1216 construction points.

The Chat Channel instantly blew up again.

No one seemed surprised. At this point, everyone was pretty much used to it

Players filled the chat with congrats for Andrea, but they couldn’t help wondering why her construction pies were mi more than the player in second place had.

Andrea knew the main reason her ranking was so high was because she had way more foundation stones than which gave her a huge head start in points.

The way she managed to get all those foundation stones was pretty dever. Afost players woukhur even pull something like that off

She glanced through the top 50 rankings and spotted that the muters from the Hoppy Day

Chapter 17

Ever since the Masked Gang disbanded, the Justice Gang had become the undisputed top dog. Nobody dared to cross them.

They’d tried to recruit Andrea before, but she shot them down without a second thought. She couldn’t care less about joining any guild.

Honestly, even if there were perks, she couldn’t stand being bossed around by anyone.

In real life, she’d always hated having a boss breathing down her neck. She’d been itching to go freelance and do things her

way.

Now, in the game world, as long as it didn’t mess with her, she couldn’t care less if someone crowned themselves emperor. Denice, sitting in third place with 451 construction points, had always been blessed with good luck.

It wasn’t surprising at all that she’d picked up some unusual items to give her score a boost.

As for Cyril, his construction points were 649, which was pretty high.

Andrea guessed that besides his own skills, he probably got a hand from his guildmates. With a big guild backing him. scoring foundation stones and facilities was hardly a challenge.

After the server rankings were released, Andrea kept up her regular routine.

She worked out, practiced martial arts, and trained with her crossbow.

She enjoyed the ice cream Dustin made and occasionally chatted with a few friends from the Happy Days group.

Before it got dark, Andrea fished up a wooden chest and a silver one.

She picked up the silver chest, turning it over in her hands and checking it out from every angle.

Andrea thought to herself, ‘Man, premium chests really are something else. With the way it feels, you can tell it’s worth way

more.

‘I wonder what kind of loot is inside.
