Chapter 9 The Horn Beast

‘They had nothing better to do all day than spam the chat channel, huh…’ Andrea thought.

She clicked on the profile of the person who kept adding everyone as friends in the daily chat channel.

[Name: Dominic Carver

[Age: 22

[Gender: Male

[Bio: Add me, let’s chat!]

He was definitely a chatterbox.

Andrea scrolled way up through the messages until she didn’t see their names anymore.

[I got 5 copper coins. No idea what they’re for.]

[Copper coins? Let me check which dynasty. I’ll appraise them for you. If you ever take them back to the real world, you might get rich!]

[Just copper coins, not those valuable ancient coins…]

[I got some silver coins. Probably worth more than yours. 10,000 copper coins equals 100 silver coins equals 1 gold coin.]

Denice: [Gold coins x6. Is this what you’re talking about?]

[Wow, where’d you get so many gold coins?]

Denice: [I’ve been getting them from crates since yesterday.]

[You are seriously lucky.]

[Can I have one? Please…]

Denice: [I can share other stuff, but not money.]

Andrea smirked. ‘So this girl had some principles after all,’ she thought.

A bunch of people kept begging, but they ended up blocked.

Andrea had to admit Denice’s luck was insane.

Back then, Andrea’d worked her butt off all day just to get ten gold coins. But this girl just opened a few crates and casually got six.

Good thing she had that Reforge skill, or she’d be way behind from the start.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the fishing rod start to wiggle again.

She quickly reeled in another crate and kept scrolling.

Soon she spotted another familiar name.

Gwen: [Trading a long knife for toiletries.]

Andrea clicked on the long knife’s stats: three feet long, lightweight, sharp, pretty perfect for her.

She had a ranged weapon now, but she still needed something for close combat.

She messaged Gwen privately.

Andrea: [One toothbrush, one tube of toothpaste, one towel for your long knife.]

She happened to have three sets of those.

Gwen: [Deal.]

The other side immediately sent the trade request.

Andrea put her items up, completed the trade, and took the long knife.

It was light enough for someone who wasn’t super strong like her.

She’d been spending two hours a day paddling, plus morning and evening workouts.

Her constitution and strength had both gone up by one point. That discovery made Andrea feel like there was hope after all.

She’d thought the only way to get stronger was to use upgrade cards.

Turned out hard work could pay off, too.

Just then, another message came from Gwen.

Gwen: [I’ve got fifty arrows here. You might find them useful. Take a look: Poisoned Arrows.]

Andrea quickly opened the item info.

Same shape as her iron arrows, but these were highly poisonous. Small monsters would die within three seconds of being hit.

It was a jackpot!

Her original fifty arrows wouldn’t last long for someone with zero archery experience.

With these extra fifty, she had another safety net.

Andrea: [I’ll take them. What do you want in exchange?]

Gwen: [Do you have salt? I need some water and some salt.]

Andrea: [Deal.]
