Sea Survival: My Luck is Off the Charts

"Oh, spirits of heaven and earth, the almighty System is the most brilliant of all..."

[Received: Guild Upgrade Coupon ×1, Small Town Sewage Treatment System Blueprint ×1, Energy Protection Tower Blueprint ×1, Guild Headquarters Expansion Coupon (50 mu) ×1]

Talent activated... Tripled.

"Whoa, whoa~ I really am the King of all Kings of Luck! Hahaha..."

She sent all the guild-related items to her brother, gave him one copy of the other items, and naturally kept the rest for herself.

When Ethan Yardley received the items from his sister, he didn’t act on impulse and immediately upgrade the guild. After all, it was just a single Silver Treasure Chest; it shouldn’t normally yield so many things.

He had to hold on to them for a bit. Besides, upgrading the guild had unlocked some new features that they needed to familiarize themselves with.

As for the Guild Headquarters Expansion Coupon, it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Never mind how happy Ethan Yardley was—his guild members were even more ecstatic. They felt a sense of pride, as if their excellent judgment in choosing the right person to follow had been validated.

Even their replies to others in the public chat seemed exceptionally confident.

Meanwhile, Faye Yardley, riding the wave of excitement, continued opening her Iron Treasure Boxes and Wooden Treasure Chests.

Although nothing particularly special came out of them, she was still in an exceptionally good mood.

This time, she also got a Small Group Chat Coupon and a blueprint for high-level furniture.

Since she wasn’t short on High Level Wood, Faye Yardley went ahead and crafted a new set of high-level furniture for herself.

’Come to think of it, shouldn’t I build a place to live on my island?’

’Even if I don’t live there myself, what if the System suddenly disappears just as abruptly as it appeared? I should at least have a place to go.’

With that in mind, Faye Yardley started searching the trading market for housing blueprints. She actually managed to find a blueprint for a classical, two-courtyard residence complete with a garden.

She bought it immediately.

She had the System bring up a 3D model of her island and placed the blueprint she had just acquired in a small, hidden valley.

The valley was small, but it had a lake and a river. Faye felt it was the perfect spot.

She loved pink peach blossoms. The next time she returned to the island, she could bring Eamon over to plant a grove of peach trees in that little valley.

The image of ten miles of peach blossoms had been seared into her mind ever since she was a little girl, when her parents took her and her brother on a trip, and it had never faded.

Once the house was built, it would naturally need a lot of classical furniture.

There was no rush for that, though. She just needed to prepare some high-quality wood and have the master carpenters on her island craft them.

After getting all this done, Faye Yardley was still in a great mood.

But unexpectedly, golden fireworks soon exploded before her eyes again.

[Server-Wide Announcement: Congratulations to Zachary Pierce, leader of Veridia’s First Legion, for being the second to upgrade their guild to Level 3. Reward: 2,500 guild reputation, 1,500 personal reputation.]×3

Whoa. Faye Yardley was genuinely surprised. It wasn’t that she thought Zachary Pierce and his large group couldn’t get a Guild Upgrade Coupon, but for them to gather the necessary items in such a short time... she was more inclined to believe her brother had helped them first.

’So not only did he not get a coupon from them, but he actually gave away a coupon and a Token?!’

’My brother really made a terrible deal, losing everything he put in.’

[Server-Wide Announcement: Congratulations to Logan Langdon, leader of Veridia’s The Dawn Guild, for being the third to upgrade their guild to Level 3. Reward: 2,000 guild reputation, 1,000 personal reputation.]×3

Huh~

’Logan Langdon’s guild is already Level 3?!’

’That was so fast.’

’Especially since he has an island to manage on top of his guild.’

’It’s true what they say, anyone who could be the protagonist of a novel is no pushover.’

The joy in Faye Yardley’s heart gradually faded, replaced by a rising sense of urgency.

’The moment I let my guard down, others will surpass me and leave me in the dust.’

But as it turned out, there were other surprises waiting for her.

[Server-Wide Announcement: Congratulations to players Zachary Pierce and Logan Langdon of Veridia, and Helen of Solon for exceeding 10,000 personal reputation and achieving the "Well-Known" status. Reward: Silver Treasure Chest ×1.]×3

Er...

’What’s going on? Why is everyone popping up all at once?’

’Fine, fine, fine. Looks like today is just a day for golden fireworks.’

’It seems everyone who reaches ten thousand reputation gets a Silver Treasure Chest.’

’If I keep raising my reputation, will I get rewards like a Golden Treasure Chest?’

Although she speculated about it, Faye Yardley had no idea what she should do to increase her own reputation.

’Stay calm. What’s meant to be yours will be yours. All I need to do is try my best to grow stronger.’

After silently admonishing herself, Faye Yardley stored all her things in her warehouse.

No one knew what they would face after the safe period ended, so she had to enjoy the present during these last two days.

Faye Yardley’s idea of enjoyment was to keep fishing for chests while reading a novel and visualizing its scenes in her mind, and then dragging Lucy White and Kingston into the training room for a round of combat practice.

She completely ignored the endlessly buzzing messages in the public chat. There was no need to look.

「In this way, two days passed quickly.」

The System gave no warning when the safe period ended, but at midnight on the 24th, the temperature outside plummeted.

By the time Faye Yardley woke up at 4 AM, a flurry of heavy, goose-feather-like snow was already falling outside.

"It’s really starting to get cold."

Stepping out onto the small balcony and watching the snowflakes drift down, Faye Yardley felt as if she were in another world.

’Yesterday and today already feel like two different worlds.’

She turned to look at the Green Egg resting quietly in its wooden box, then at the vine beside it, which had grown much thicker. But other than getting thicker, longer, and leafier, there were no other changes.

’Looks like I’ll have to order some more Flower Dew.’

She placed another order with Jasmine for ten tons of Flower Dew.

Leaving her room and heading downstairs, she saw that the firescreen in front of the fireplace had been removed, and the house was comfortably warm.

Lucy White was curled up on the sofa, wrapped in a wool blanket. Seeing her, she called out weakly, "Sister."

"What’s wrong with you? Did you catch a cold?"

Lucy White looked a bit dazed. "I think so."

’That’s what’s so strange. How can a robot be afraid of the cold or catch one?’

Faye Yardley was amazed. She ran over and touched her forehead. It was indeed a little hot. "Why don’t you try taking some fever medicine?"

"Sister, are you saying I have a fever? But I feel so cold."

"Willow, Willow, do you know what’s happening to Lucy White? Her programming isn’t scrambled, is it?"

Willow Yardley walked over, shook her head, and replied, "No, it’s not that. It’s probably because after eating that meat, she became different from ordinary robots. I’ve never had a fever, but I checked her body, and aside from her head being a little warm, everything else is normal."

Faye Yardley looked from Willow to Lucy White and asked, "Do you think it’s because she hasn’t eaten enough?"

Willow Yardley was speechless.

After a moment of silence, she asked tentatively, "Should we give her some more to eat, then?"

At first, Lucy White was still a bit confused, but then she thought of the meat infused with Divinity, and her eyes instantly lit up.

’I want to eat!’

"Meow~"

Blackwood was making it clear that if Lucy White was getting some, he wanted some too.
