Free Web NovelChapter 126: Chapter 126: A Man Can’t Get Rich Without a Windfall
She had previously obtained items like clothing and a belt from the Little Green Men. Willow Yardley’s deft hands had made them look good as new, but they were too small for an adult to wear.
She had originally planned to save them for the trading market when the second group of people arrived, but giving them directly to Leo Sloan as a thank-you gift was a good idea too.
It saved her the trouble of trying to figure out a suitable gift.
Nothing would probably please Leo Sloan more than this.
After having lunch with Leo Sloan, Faye Yardley hopped onto her small wooden boat and bid him farewell.
Drifting on the sea, Faye Yardley decided to head in the direction from which she’d been fished up. She really had no sense of direction, and even if she could get her bearings, it would be useless. She had no idea how far her raft was from Leo Sloan’s, or even in which direction it lay.
So, she decided to just drift in one direction for a while.
She put on her wide-brimmed bamboo hat, took out a Common Fishing Rod, and started fishing for treasure chests.
Unfortunately, the system blocked all chat channels again after she left Leo Sloan’s raft. Otherwise, she could have at least read other people’s complaints to pass the time.
Sitting cross-legged on the small wooden boat, Faye Yardley began to practice the Health Care Scripture.
When she first began her Cultivation, she could still pay attention to her surroundings. But gradually, she became so immersed that she grew oblivious to the world outside.
The small wooden boat drifted along with the wind and waves, smoothly carrying Faye Yardley right back to her raft. freёweɓnovel.com
"Sister! Sister~"
Faye Yardley opened her eyes at the call, meeting Willow Yardley’s worried gaze. "Willow, I’m back."
"Yes, you’re back. Did everything go smoothly?"
"It went very smoothly."
With that, Faye Yardley stood up and hopped onto her raft.
’It seems the Health Care Scripture won’t always make my legs go numb as long as I pay attention to the method and timing. My technique must have been a little off last time.’
’This time, I guided the Energy to my lower limbs and let it circulate, and everything’s fine now.’
’I can’t believe I drifted all the way until 5:00 PM. The dangerous period the system warned about is just an hour away.’
’Sure enough, Lady Luck is on my side.’
"Are you hungry? Should we have dinner early?"
"Let’s just eat at six like usual. I’m going to my room for a bit."
Faye Yardley hurried into her room, practically buzzing with impatience to open the Silver Treasure Chest.
Once in her room, Faye Yardley took out the Silver Treasure Chest. After expertly reciting the Spell, she opened it.

Talent triggered... Rewards tripled.
’AHHH!! I’m rich!’
’It’s true what they say: you’ll never get rich without a little windfall.’
’You always have to take a few risks to get your hands on special items.’
The Self-cleaning Robe was as thin as a cicada’s wing. It didn’t feel stuffy or restrictive at all when she put it on.
Moreover, when she tried to get a small stain on it, the mark would slowly fade away, leaving the garment as clean as ever.
’This is a godsend for lazy people! It’s a must-have for running Dungeons, too. I’ll never have to worry about being dirty and smelly again.’
’My brother and Mr. Pierce will definitely need the Special Large Group Chat Coupon and the Guild Creation Order. I can give one of each to them and still have a set for myself.’
Without a second thought, she packed up a set for her brother and sent it over, adding in a Self-cleaning Robe for good measure.
She also took a Dwarven belt from her storage—the only piece of Dwarven clothing she had that gave a +2 bonus to Constitution—and sent it to Leo Sloan. She made sure to note that it was a thank-you gift for his child, so he shouldn’t refuse it or feel burdened by accepting it.
’There was no need for pleasantries with Zachary Pierce. Their interests were tightly interwoven.’
Besides, he wasn’t the type to take things without giving something back. So, Faye Yardley sent the two items to Zachary Pierce. As for what she’d get in return, she wasn’t in need of anything at the moment, so it could wait.
Zachary Pierce’s response came quickly: Thanks, Yardley. I don’t know how many times I’ve said that now, but my teammates and I owe you one. We’ll be sure to save anything that suits you or that you’re looking for.
To successfully create a guild, the Token alone wasn’t enough; a permanent base was also required.
No one had a clue how to get one yet.
In fact, this was the first time Zachary Pierce had ever seen a Guild Creation Order.
The Special Large Group Chat Coupon was also incredibly useful for them. It truly was a *large* group chat; after being used, it showed a member capacity of one thousand.
This was much bigger than the hundred-person chat they had redeemed from the Point Shop.
Soon she also received a reply from Leo Sloan: Just give the order if you need anything, Group Leader. I’ll shamelessly accept this amazing gift.
Faye Yardley laughed but didn’t reply. She didn’t know what to say and didn’t want to get into a cycle of fake pleasantries or endless thank-yous, which would just be tedious. freewebnσvel.cøm
Looking at the Magic Seed in her hand, she saw a system notification: [This is a Magic Seed. Only the one who personally plants and cares for it will receive its reward.]
"Ah, I have to plant it myself? Looks like I can’t be lazy and hand it off to Eamon."
Faye Yardley grabbed a planter, filled it with soil, and placed it by the sofa on the small balcony outside her room.
She took out one of the Magic Seeds, planted it, and gave it some water.
"Alright now, you need to be a good little seed and sprout all on your own, okay? I’ll water you, and you can get plenty of sun here. You should like it. There’s a Bluebird egg right next to you. It’s waiting to hatch and grow up, just like you. You two should be good friends, okay?"
After she finished talking, Faye Yardley glanced at the egg, which still showed no signs of change. She couldn’t help but pick it up for a closer look, even turning it over before setting it back down. She didn’t want uneven sun exposure to give it a patchy complexion after it hatched.
’Honestly, I have so many things to worry about these days.’
Just as she was about to head downstairs, she got a call from her brother.
She answered, and an image of her brother appeared, sweaty but ecstatic. "Faye, you’re incredible! So much amazing stuff again. Spin around for me, let me see. You’re not hurt, are you?"
She obediently complied, spinning in a circle. "I’m perfectly fine," Faye Yardley said with a smile. "Don’t worry, just take them."
"Good, that’s a relief. Our team is planning to run Dungeon 3 tomorrow. You in?"
"I think I’ll go to Dungeon 1. You should take Donovan. He’s already been to Dungeon 3 twice, so he has experience."
"If you’re not coming, then he can just lead a squad."
Faye Yardley frowned slightly. "You’re not going with him?"
"Haha, your big brother is pretty strong too, you know. Don’t underestimate me. Besides, you gave me all this great stuff, and I’ve even got The Hound God."
Faye Yardley wanted to argue, but seeing his expression, she changed her mind. The words on the tip of her tongue became, "Well, you have to be extra careful, big brother. Don’t get reckless just because you have good weapons. And take some Bandages and Hemostatic Pills with you. Pack a few changes of clothes, too."
"Alright, alright, I’ll do everything you said."
