Free Web NovelChapter 66: Chapter 66: The Strong Never Fear Difficulty
Ethan Yardley thought he could finally do something for his sister, but in the end, he was still the one being taken care of. As a grown man, he felt a little ashamed, yet also secretly pleased.
"What’s inside Dungeon 1? I’m almost done collecting the fragments for it."
Faye Yardley’s eyes lit up. "You’re amazing, Brother! I haven’t even gotten any Dungeon Fragments yet. It’s just killing zombies, non-stop. If you kill them all, you can even get the ’Undead Creature Fearer’ Title. Wearing it gives you a 10% damage bonus against Undead Creatures, which is super useful. But killing the final boss is really tough. If you do get into the dungeon, look for the hidden guns and bullets first. Find as many as you can. You can bring whatever you don’t use out with you."
"Okay, got it. I won’t be reckless if I’m not confident. You should do the same from now on. Don’t be rash."
"Of course I won’t be rash. I’m still waiting to merge our rafts after the server merge."
Ethan Yardley looked at the Red Envelope his sister had sent. It was packed with so many things, far more than he had gotten from painstakingly killing monsters and fishing for treasure chests.
’But there’s nothing wrong with that. At least it shows my sister isn’t just lucky, she’s also powerful. That means she’ll be safe.’
’I have to work even harder and pick up the pace. I can’t let my sister leave me too far behind.’
After hanging up, Faye Yardley opened the trading market. Someone was now willing to trade for Energy Stones.
She had posted offers to trade a Basic Long Blade, a High Level Fish Spear, a Basic Iron Axe, an Intermediate Long Spear, and Arrow Towers. As she watched, the trade for two Arrow Towers was completed.
As for the other items, it seemed people didn’t think they were worth it, so they hadn’t been traded.
However, another one of her trades—for six types of food (including fruits and vegetables) and 1L of Pure Water—had also succeeded.
Faye Yardley thought for a moment. ’It seems that even though people can get drops from killing monsters, many are still short on food and water. Even the experts are no exception.’ But then she thought of Gavin Donovan and immediately understood.
’After all, being an expert doesn’t mean you have good Luck. You might get lots of other things, just not food or water.’
’This is a business I can totally get into.’
’Trading the food and Pure Water I have in abundance for Energy Stones... it’s an incredible deal.’
She packed the three Energy Stones she had just acquired and sent them to her brother, giving him an extra layer of security.
She also had a Basic Planting Room blueprint. At this thought, Faye Yardley stood up, walked around the empty space on her raft, and chose the corner where the planters had been. After moving the planters, she used the blueprint to begin construction.
A white mist rose, accompanied by the sound of CLANGING and BANGING. Three minutes later, a translucent building covering 100 square meters appeared before her.
"Wow, Sister, you’re amazing! It’s a Basic Planting Room! We can transplant the clementine tree from the balcony into here. It’ll speed up its growth so you can eat clementines sooner." freewēbnoveℓ.com
Hearing Willow’s words, Faye Yardley turned and smiled. "Great. I’ll leave that to you. I also got some sunflower seeds from a chest just now. Let’s plant some of those, too."
The weather was frigid. All she could see was a vast expanse of white snow and ice. Adding a bit of color to her raft would be nice.
’Huh, I still have a thatched hut blueprint. I’ll build it along the wall of the planting room that doesn’t have a door.’
This time, the 3x3 meter thatched hut was built in less than half a minute.
The hut had backed benches on its left and right sides. Its entrance, like the door to the Planting Room, faced the Wooden House.
Faye Yardley sized up the thatched hut for a moment before walking over and entering the Planting Room.
The interior looked like a modern, high-tech cultivation facility.
A three-tiered planting structure effectively increased the 100-square-meter footprint, allowing for more crops to be grown simultaneously.
Even better, crops grown in here would have their maturation time shortened by 10%.
’Just think of how many more things I can grow with that alone.’
And with Willow around, she could really just sit back and enjoy the rewards.
"Sister, the fourth wave of monsters has spawned outside."
"Okay, I’ll leave this to you. I’m going to kill some monsters."
Was killing monsters boring?
Faye Yardley’s answer was no, because the monsters she encountered were always different.
This time, not only were there few enough to count on one hand, but they also looked especially cute.
Five round, chubby creatures waddled toward her raft on their short little legs.
Frowning slightly, Faye Yardley said to herself, "I am an emotionless executioner!"
No matter how cute something was, if it was a monster, it was an enemy. An enemy delivering supplies right to her door, at that.
Faye Yardley had no intention of taming and raising them.
"I’m a big enough deal on my own! You expect me to raise a bunch of pampered little brats? In your dreams! All of you, just die!"
With her blade in hand, Faye Yardley charged, moving even faster than they were.
A 1v5 fight? To Faye Yardley, that just meant they were ganging up on her, and she wasn’t afraid in the slightest!
The conviction of the strong had already, without her realizing it, begun to influence her actions and thought patterns. free𝑤ebnovel.com
The strong never fear hardship!
[Dear Player, you have received a visit invitation from player Bonnie Callahan. Do you wish to accept and visit her raft?]
Zachary Pierce, who had just killed the last monster of the wave, quickly picked up all the orbs of light and directly tapped ’accept’.
The moment his figure appeared, he heard a woman’s piercing scream. "AAAAAHHH~! Boss, help me!"
Following the sound, he saw Bonnie Callahan rolling desperately across the ice, a giant rhino monster trying to impale her with its long, sturdy horn.
Without a word, Zachary Pierce charged straight at the rhino monster. The instant before impact, a Peerless Treasure Sword appeared in his hand.
Bonnie Callahan was truly using every ounce of her strength to keep rolling; otherwise, she would have been stabbed to death long ago.
She never expected that an Invitation Card could be used outside of a raft. She had decided to give it a try, and it had actually worked.
’Goes to show you never know until you try.’ Thankfully, the boss had accepted her invitation and come to help.
Just as she rolled aside again, she heard a pained roar erupt from the rhino monster’s mouth.
"Oh my god, is my life finally saved?"
But she didn’t dare to dwell on it, scrambling on all fours to get farther away.
After finishing his own monster wave, Gavin Donovan returned to his raft, rinsed off, and opened the group chat. He saw a notification to grab a Red Envelope and tapped it without a second thought. His luck was decent—he got a Delicious Little Bread.
But when he looked again, there had been ten loaves of bread for five people, and he had only managed to grab the minimum of one. Even Leo Sloan, who was widely acknowledged as having the lowest Luck Value in the group, had snagged two.
Gavin Donovan fell silent. The joy from clearing the monsters vanished in an instant.
Maintaining the group etiquette, he typed, "Thanks, boss." Then he decided to circle his raft. Who knew, maybe there were some stragglers to kill or treasure chests to pick up.
The originally cute, chubby creatures turned out to be ferocious in battle. Moreover, whenever one was killed, the others would get a little stronger.
So after she had killed four of them, the last one had not only gotten stronger, but bigger as well...
