Sea Survival: My Luck is Off the Charts

At first, she had only seen a few zombie animals mixed together in the distance. But as she appeared, all sorts of them began to emerge—from the houses lining the street and the alleys on either side.

Faye Yardley simply stood still, but every cell in her body was already primed for battle.

The silent standoff lasted barely two or three seconds before the zombie animals launched their attack.

SWISH, HISS—the sounds came from all directions. Light Wound appeared in Faye Yardley’s hand, and she sprang into motion.

’A group fight?’

’I came into this Dungeon fully prepared to take on a crowd.’

In an instant, a chaotic melee erupted.

"President, Boss, hahaha! My luck is off the charts today! Look, I got another school construction blueprint!"

Ken Linton couldn’t help but roar with laughter, blueprint in hand.

Hearing him, Ethan Yardley walked over and clapped him on the shoulder. "Not bad, Mr. Linton. Your lucky streak is really heating up."

"Hehe, it must be the taste of that red apricot. Eating a red apricot brings good fortune." Ken Linton’s mouth watered just thinking about the taste. He put on a sheepish grin and said, "Boss, how about another one of those red apricots?"

Ethan Yardley snatched the blueprint from his hand. "In your dreams. It’s not like those things grow on trees. They’re incredibly hard to find, and you’re already asking for another?"

"Boss, how about I trade this blueprint with your sister for a couple of them?"

"Heh... Forget it. Now hurry up and open the rest of the Iron Treasure Boxes before the effect wears off."

Ethan Yardley himself didn’t plan on opening any boxes. He had given the three red apricots he’d obtained to the three team members with the highest Luck Value, and the results had been excellent.

The loot from the treasure boxes today was much better than usual, and they even had better luck finding things when they went out to sea.

’A school... I wonder, if it’s built on my sister’s island, will the kids from my side be able to attend?’

BRRRING~

"Hey, Mr. Jonas. To what do I owe the pleasure?"

On the other end, Jay Jonas dispensed with the pleasantries and got straight to the point. "I wanted to ask about the upgrade to Level 3. Besides personnel permanently stationed in the guild territory no longer having to participate in system-issued events, are there any other changes?"

"Mr. Jonas, you really don’t like to waste a second, do you? How about this? Why don’t I just invite you over to see for yourself?"

"One moment." Jay Jonas turned to say something to the person beside him, then turned back. "Apologies for the trouble. An hour’s invitation will be fine. I’ve sent the Invitation Card over."

"Alright, we’ll talk in person. By the way, what about Zachary Pierce? Should we have him come over too?"

"I’m not with him. You’ll have to contact him yourself."

’Ethan Yardley really thought that Jay Jonas was sometimes even more robotic than Rainie Yardley.’

He hung up, sent the invitation, and then called Zachary Pierce. Soon, both men appeared on his raft.

"Let’s go. I’ll take you to the guild territory first, then I’ll show you what’s different."

Ethan Yardley’s guild territory had started as a small outpost, so it wasn’t as large as Zachary Pierce’s. However, in terms of planning, development, and internal systems like water and power, it was ahead of theirs by a long shot.

"Look. After the guild reached Level 3, the growth rate for crops and livestock increased by about 40% compared to Level 1. It used to take around twenty days to harvest a batch of greens, but now it only takes twelve." Ethan then pointed to the biggest change. "That two-story detached building appeared after the upgrade to Level 3. It can establish connections with other guild territories and islands. My guess is we’ll need to level it up more, since it can only connect to five locations right now. Come on, I’ll take you inside for a look."

The two-story building had a decent-sized footprint, with the ground floor covering at least 200 square meters. For now, only the first floor was accessible. The staircase to the second floor was blocked by a shimmering film of air, and touching it produced a "Conditions not met" prompt.

Ethan had insisted on inviting them over because he wanted to forge stronger connections with them.

’After all, he suspected the condition for unlocking the second floor might be to establish all five of the first floor’s connection slots.’

The only connection he felt completely safe making was with his sister; the only others he could trust were Zachary Pierce and his people.

"This is truly amazing. My Level 2 territory doesn’t have this yet," Zachary Pierce remarked after a thorough inspection. He was now itching to upgrade his own guild territory.

Jay Jonas, ever practical, asked, "Besides the increased growth speed for agriculture and the external connection hub, are there any other changes? Did the territory’s area increase?"

Ethan Yardley shook his head. "No, the territory is still the same size, but its defenses have been enhanced. Also, our member cap has increased, and we’ve gained a Guild Specialist Training Room."

"Specialist Training Room? What’s that?"

"Don’t worry. Since I brought you here, I’ll be sure to show you everything."

While Ethan Yardley was thinking about deepening his ties with Jay Jonas and the others, Logan Langdon was grappling with a similar issue on another island.

He had announced he would take in 100,000 people by the end of the month, but right now, he couldn’t even arrange housing for a tenth of that number on his own.

His original plan was to have them mine for him, but the Little Mermaid, Nina, had advised him to treat the islanders well. That way, any increase in their strength would positively feed back to him.

Chloe Hughes didn’t fully understand the mechanics, but she also urged Logan Langdon to follow Nina’s advice.

This meant that, no matter what, he had to provide them with at least the most basic housing.

But house construction blueprints and Upgrade Coupons were far too scarce on the market.

’His own inventory was full of high-quality items, and he couldn’t bear the thought of using them on these newcomers.’

’Maybe they could provide the blueprints themselves? He could accept families onto the island one by one as they turned in the required plans.’

’He should contact Jay Jonas. After all, Jonas also had a large number of people to settle. It was only normal for Island Masters to communicate, right?’

’As for Faye Yardley, her phone was unreachable. She was probably in a Dungeon.’

’Have to admit, that woman is incredibly driven.’

’But to change the requirements on them now...’

’He should ask Jay Jonas what his plans are first. It wouldn’t hurt to use his approach as a reference, right?’

Meanwhile, Faye Yardley, still locked in a relentless battle with the zombie animal army inside the Dungeon, was completely immersed in the thrill of combat.

Although she had used the training room to grow accustomed to the changes in her body after her Attributes increased, there was still a world of difference between training and actual combat.

Faye Yardley could feel the blood thrumming in her veins.

Her movements were swift and sure, her strikes fast, ruthless, and precise. Combined with the unparalleled sharpness of Light Wound, she was on the verge of routing the entire army of zombie animals.

Even when the zombie animals were hacked into pieces and still didn’t die, they posed little threat to Faye Yardley.
