Free Web NovelChapter 108: Chapter 108: A Locked Treasure Chest, the Divine Weapon Qian Shang
’When you see a good training room, how can you not go in and test it out yourself?’
So, Faye Yardley didn’t bother with anything else and went straight into the training room to begin her physical conditioning.
The sky gradually darkened. Beyond the raft, the sea churned violently, completely unaffected by tides. It was as if colossal beasts lurked in the depths, their gaping maws waiting for people to fall into their traps. Except for thrill-seekers and the exceptionally skilled and daring, almost no one dared to leave their rafts anymore.
It was far better to stay on the stable raft and watch the various channels than to risk an adventure in the sea.
"Whoa, Boss, you’re amazing! Where did you get a training room like this? It’s so cool. Let us go in and try it out first."
Ethan Yardley chuckled. "You’re calling me Boss, so of course I’m amazing, right? Let me see if multiple people can train together."
After confirming that multiple people could train at the same time, they prepared to enter as a group to work on their coordination.
Gavin Donovan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Boss, let me first ask Faye if she still needs any instruction today."
"Okay, go on, hurry. We can wait." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Faye Yardley was in the training room, naturally too preoccupied to be bothered. When Gavin Donovan tried to contact her, he received a system reply that the user was busy.
After thinking for a moment, he left her a message. Gavin Donovan then decided to enter the training room with Ethan Yardley and the others.
Inside the training room, Faye Yardley found that it increased both the efficiency and precision of her workout.
When practicing agility and dodging, you’d get hit by a blade if your reaction was even a hair too slow.
Moreover, the training room adjusted the difficulty to be slightly above one’s personal Attributes, making it the kind of challenge where effort would lead to tangible results.
Because of this, training in here was truly addictive.
After staying for three straight hours, Faye Yardley was finally denied re-entry by the training room.
By now, it was already 9:45 PM.
Leaving the training room, she felt a cool breeze brush against her. The moon above wasn’t full, but it was very bright.
"Sister, you’re out."
Faye Yardley grunted in acknowledgment and asked, "Has Eamon gone to bed?"
"No, he’s still busy in the planting room."
Remembering the plants she’d gotten from her chests today, Faye Yardley headed toward the planting room.
’Roses and cherry blossoms are so beautiful, and their light fragrance is lovely. If I could fill the entire raft with them, how beautiful my world would be.’
Entering the planting room, she saw Eamon tending to the rice paddies. Faye Yardley greeted him, "Working hard, Eamon."
"Sister, you’re here! This batch of rice can be harvested tomorrow. You’ll be able to eat fragrant, steaming rice."
"That’s wonderful. What’s the yield like?"
"This plot will only yield about 250 kilograms."
Eamon looked quite dissatisfied as he said it, but Faye Yardley glanced at the tiny plot of land. ’Is it even twenty square meters? To get such a large harvest from such a small area is already incredible. Back in the normal world, even harvesting twenty-five kilograms from this space would be considered a massive yield.’
Faye Yardley immediately praised him, "Eamon, you’re truly amazing! If it weren’t for you, how could we get such a high yield? This is enough to feed me alone for a year or two."
Eamon was a little embarrassed by the praise. Where he came from, his level of planting skill would have earned him contempt.
She gave Eamon the plants and seeds she had gotten from her chests that day, letting him decide how to arrange them.
"After you plant the roses, Eamon, can you propagate them from cuttings? I want them to climb all over the raft’s wooden walls."
"Of course, Sister. It will take some time, but it’s achievable."
"That’s great. It’s getting late, you should get some rest too."
Faye Yardley returned to the Wooden House, where Willow Yardley had already prepared a late-night snack.
"Sister, you didn’t even eat dinner. You must be starving. Come eat something, or you’ll ruin your health."
"Okay, thank you, Willow."
You don’t realize how hungry you are until you see the food. The moment she saw it, she felt ravenous.
As she was drinking the fish soup, Faye Yardley slapped her forehead. "Oh! I still have those High Level ingredients! Willow, put these away and cook them tomorrow."
She transferred the energy-rich Fish Meat, the fish maw, half a fish head, and other items to Willow Yardley.
She had never shared these ingredients with Bella Dillon. Oh well. If Bella didn’t mention it, she must not have cared.
Faye Yardley herself had been in such a hurry to leave the cave that she hadn’t thought of it either.
’Anyway, it’s all mine now. I wonder if eating this Fish Meat will increase any of my Attributes.’
She slept well. The next day, she woke up promptly at 4:30 AM.
Only after her morning workout did Faye Yardley notice yesterday’s message.
She replied to Gavin Donovan, telling him she could train on her own for now and would look for him when she reached the next stage.
Today was Day 21. In four more days, Islander 98, Nora Nash, would be holding her banquet. Therefore, Faye Yardley didn’t plan on doing anything special for the next few days.
She would just relax on her raft, use the training room, fish for treasure chests in her free time, and enjoy good food and drinks.
No matter how fierce the wind and waves grew, they didn’t affect her raft in the slightest.
The only thing was, the temperature was rising a bit too quickly.
She had to put away her winter clothes and change into cool summer attire.
Fishing by the raft at high noon now required some kind of cover, otherwise you’d get a serious sunburn.
On both the world channel and the regional channel, everyone was complaining about how fast the temperature was rising.
It was as if the world had changed once again overnight.
Fewer and fewer treasure chests were being caught, and even the frequency of catching seafood had started to decline.
Food and water were becoming scarce once again.
The number of people on the trading market looking to buy food and water began to increase.
Faye Yardley checked her purchase offer on the world trade channel. ’I wonder if people in other regions haven’t found one, or if there’s just so much demand that no one has seen my post.’
’But with food becoming so scarce now, surely someone who finds it but has no use for it will be willing to trade, for the sake of so much food.’ ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"Oh, my brain! I still have a locked treasure chest."
Faye Yardley wasn’t in a hurry, though. She continued to sit under the straw awning and fish.
Her haul was still pretty good. After just over an hour of fishing, she had already pulled up two wooden chests, one iron chest, and a number of fish.
After a moment of thought, she decided to do her good deed for the day.
She listed the fish she had just caught on the trading market, all priced at two pieces of wood per fish, with a limit of one per person.
Then she got up, returned to her room to wash off the sweat, and only then went out onto the small balcony to take out the seaweed-covered locked chest.
Faye Yardley now had two keys: a Bronze Key and a golden key.
’If neither of these can open it, then there’s nothing to be done. I’ll just have to keep it and wait for a fated treasure chest later on.’
She picked up the Bronze Key, tried to insert it into the keyhole, and with a gentle turn and a CLICK, the chest opened.
"That simple?"
[Acquired Divine Weapon—Light Wound]
’Just one thing inside?’
Faye Yardley took out the single orb of light from inside. Strangely, it didn’t trigger her Talent, so it couldn’t be duplicated.
CRACK CRACK~
After the orb of light cracked open, a saber that looked extraordinary at first glance appeared before Faye Yardley’s eyes. It was less than three fingers wide, with a blade under a meter long and a hilt of twenty centimeters.
