ascended to the second floor without a
backward glance the serpent now feeling
quite smug reclined on the sofa in
silence Upon returning to her room Gian
G took a deep breath she felt there was
something something peculiar about the
Serpent's Eyes which had nearly
Bewitched her during their gaze sitting
on her bed she opened the trading
interface noting that three days had
passed since she sold her specially
crafted sunscreen over these 3 days
numerous positive reviews had
accumulated and the 500 units had sold
out swiftly netting her 10,000 Island
expansion Stones Gian G felt a surge of
excitement surprised at how quickly she
could Elevate her Island to level 9 with
determination she clicked to upgrade her
personal information panel
only to be met with a system
notification upgrade failed please
complete specific tasks first stunned by
this Revelation Gian lamented how she
had finally gathered the expansion
Stones only to face an unexpected
setback the system failed to specify
what the specific tasks entailed could
it be that her rapid advancement had not
triggered these tasks giangi inquired
further with the system yet no useful
answers were forthcoming disheartened
she lay on her bed feeling the weight of
her expectations crumble 18 noon a
long-awaited system announcement emerged
the mutated hermit crab has issued a
nationwide Bounty players in the wanted
poster will receive a reward of 1,000
gold coins important matters are
reiterated Thrice curiosity peaked Gian
G clicked on the message page to find a
poorly drawn abstract depiction was this
her aside from sharing the same two eyes
one Nos and one mouth it bore no
resemblance to giang G whatsoever
nevertheless her Bounty had increased
from 500 to 1,000 gold coins the
portrayal was so abstract that anyone
could claim it resembled them this must
be the first player to be wanted by an
NPC astonishingly there is a bounty of
1,000 gold coins it's so indistinct that
even Jinder can't be discerned earning
1,000 gold coins is no easy feat Gian
chuckled at the messages unable to
contain her Amusement prompting an even
louder laugh from Tang Yen haha 9999
Anan did you see that portrait it's
hilarious you're laughing so loudly you
disturbing my eyes as the group
continued to mock the mutated hermit
crabs artistic skills another system
message appeared the entire region is
searching for the treasure shell of the
mutated hermit crab with a bounty of 100
gold coins the image depicted a purple
shell adorned with sparkling gems giangi
compared it to the nearby shell noting
that the filter was too heavy the actual
shell was grimy and odorous lacking any
semblance of beauty just to be safe she
decided to Stow the shell in her
backpack it seemed the hermit crab
didn't hold its shell in high regard as
the Bounty was only 100 gold coins the
public chat area buzzed with discussions
about the portraits owner with some even
attempting to enhance its appearance
admittedly the enhanced version did
resemble a human yet it still bore no
likeness to Gian meanwhile she received
a call from chingin and an I heard the
mutated hermit crabs Clan Has issued a
bounty on you is it because of that
shell Gian G was taken aback how did you
know can you really tell it's me from
that portrait after a brief pause
chingin replied it was obvious at first
glance this Revelation left gon G in
silence was there something wrong with
the NPCs Vision or did they possess a
unique way of expression nevertheless
chingin call served as a warning she
would need to wear a mask or use a
disguise potion when encountering NPCs
in the future as a lowly NPC might
report her for 1,000 gold coins with a
sigh giangi requested information on the
weaknesses of the mutated hermit crab
from the system the only useful tidbit
