Free Web NovelChapter 111: Chapter 111: The Nationwide Rumor
The topic in the Regional Channel was thus derailed, and everyone started debating whether being alone on the ocean could drive a person insane.
BEEP BEEP~
Eleanor Jonas sent an inquiry: "Faye, are you the person Hailey Miles was talking about? Are you still collecting Invasion Cards?"
Faye Yardley looked at the message and ultimately chose to admit it directly: "Yep, I’m probably one of them. And of course I want Invasion Cards. The person I want to kill is still alive and kicking."
Her directness stunned Eleanor Jonas on the other end. ’Wait, no, you just admit you want to kill someone, just like that?!’
From her perspective, even though Faye Yardley was plotting something, could she really just admit it so openly?
’So honest?’
’Answering whatever she’s asked.’
Faye Yardley followed up with a question: "Miss Jonas, did you get an Invasion Card over there?"
Eleanor Jonas glanced at the person beside her, then replied to Faye Yardley: "Not yet. If we get one, I’ll definitely save it for you."
"Zachary, should we try to talk Yardley out of it? According to our intel, there shouldn’t be any life-or-death conflict between them." Although Eleanor Jonas enjoyed swift vengeance, she usually reserved it for enemies. For her own countrymen, she had always followed the principle of prizing peace.
Zachary Pierce shook his head. "We aren’t her, and neither are the people who were asked. How can we use our objective perspective to guess her subjective feelings? From our interactions during this time, although Yardley is young, she’s a very rational person. Maybe there’s some conflict between them that we don’t know about."
"So we just pretend we don’t know about this?"
Zachary Pierce looked at Eleanor Jonas and shrugged innocently. "Comrade Jonas, you were the one who asked. You’re the one who knows. What could I possibly know? I didn’t do a thing."
Eleanor Jonas: ...
"I’m leaving the production tasks to you. I’m heading back."
Faye Yardley finished her fruit tea and handed the cup to Willow Yardley. "Willow, could you get me another one, please?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Of course. Just a moment, sis."
Leaning back, Faye Yardley casually pulled her legs up onto the swing chair, wondering if openly admitting in the Regional Channel that she wanted to kill Hailey Miles would make Hailey come after her instead.
That way, she wouldn’t have to make the effort to go over there; she could just sit and wait.
’But then again, wouldn’t countless simps come over to help her?’
Hailey Miles was a great beauty, after all. No matter how difficult survival was, some men would still habitually think with their lower bodies.
’Forget it. I’m probably not the only one who wants to kill her. I’d better not expose myself just yet.’
’Some idiot might even go to the Regional Channel, spout some nonsense, and claim it was them, thinking they’re so cool.’
"Sis, here’s your fruit tea. This one’s without ice."
"Thank you, my little angel Willow. Having you around just makes me so happy."
Willow Yardley smiled and said, "I won’t disturb your thoughts, sis. I’m going to go fish now."
Faye Yardley opened the group chat. It was perpetually at 99+ notifications. She couldn’t understand it. There weren’t even ten people in the group, and she barely ever spoke, yet somehow they always had so much to say.
Kyle Lewis: Has anyone seen Miss Yardley’s true strength?
Bonnie Callahan: You’d have to ask Mr. Donovan. He’s Bonnie’s private instructor, so he should know her strength. @Gavin Donovan, if you’re here, spill the beans.
Faye Yardley: No need to ask Gavin Donovan, just ask me. Right now, I’m probably strong enough to take on two average adult men.
Bonnie Callahan: Wow, sweetie, you’re so amazing, so strong! With my low Attributes, I’d be scared to run into a single normal guy.
Kyle Lewis: Miss Yardley is incredible. She could probably take care of two or three of me without breaking a sweat.
Faye Yardley: Is there a reason you’re suddenly asking about this?
Kyle Lewis: Someone was asking me about you. But don’t worry, Miss Yardley, I didn’t say a thing.
Ethan Yardley: Kyle, let’s talk in private.
Gavin Donovan: Boss, if too many people are giving you trouble, just come straight to the big boss.
Faye Yardley: I know, I know. It’s a small matter. I can handle it.
Leo Sloan: Group Owner, please accept this Red Envelope. Thank you for the Pure Water and food you provide every day.
After accepting the targeted Red Envelope he sent, Faye Yardley let out a small "Huh?"
"A Transformation Card. To think this kind of thing exists."
[Transformation Card: After use, allows you to transform into a person you have recently come into contact with. Duration: one hour.]
"What an interesting item. If used well, hehe..."
Faye Yardley sent a message in the group: Thanks, Mr. Sloan. This is a great item. What’s your raft level now?
Leo Sloan: I’m glad you like it. With the help of the group members, my raft is now at Level 4.
Faye Yardley: Go to the trade market and look for a trade designated for you. A bigger raft will better ensure your safety, and in about a month, you’ll also meet the standard for bringing your family onto your raft.
Faye Yardley directly initiated a designated trade in the trade market, giving him 2,000 wood.
Wade Warren: Group Owner, are you saying that if our raft level isn’t high enough, we won’t be able to bring the second batch of people onto our rafts?
Faye Yardley: Mmm, that’s just my guess, of course. But if you have family you want to bring over, it’s best to upgrade your raft and residence as soon as possible.
Wade Warren: Understood. Thanks for the reminder, Group Owner. freёweɓnovel.com
It was undeniable that everyone was starting to feel the pressure. Seeing the group chat, Zachary Pierce’s expression also grew tense. It seemed they had to clear the Dungeon as soon as possible and use the points to exchange for more basic resources. That was the only proper way.
’It seems a Level 4 raft of one hundred square meters might not be enough. I’ll need to upgrade the raft to at least Level Five.’
’Although there are fewer than 20 million people in the region now, the demand will definitely be huge.’
’It would be best to officially collect and organize everyone’s information again, and then start subsidizing the group that needs the most care.’
He deeply felt that he didn’t have enough Dungeon 1 Fragments.
They were all experienced in killing zombies now. Compared to other Dungeons, this one still yielded the most points.
And so, a so-called "rumor" began to spread on the national channel, posted by many regions: you needed a raft of Level Five or higher to have a chance of receiving your loved ones from the second batch.
Wood, a basic material, once again became a hot commodity, even reaching the status of a substitute currency.
You could use wood to directly trade for the vast majority of items on the trade market.
Faye Yardley was still a bit bewildered when she found out. She had only mentioned it in her small group, but Zachary Pierce had spread the "rumor" with impressive speed.
She put the Transformation Card she had been fiddling with into her backpack, hopped off the swing chair, and dashed straight to the training room.
She could only stay in the training room for a maximum of three hours at a time, after which she had to wait six hours before entering again.
If she didn’t want to push herself so hard in a day, she would just choose to go in twice.
Once in the morning and once in the evening, which still left enough time for fishing up treasure chests and sleeping.
At night, she could also have Gavin Donovan guide her training for two hours.
Faye Yardley thought this arrangement was great. The rhythm of her life was just right.
After three days like this, the weather grew hotter and hotter, reaching a point where even going shirtless felt stiflingly hot.
The date was now the 24th. It was time to prepare for the banquet on the 25th.
