Faye Yardley was in a particularly good mood.
Especially after an hour of completing all her pending trades.

BEEP BEEP BEEP. A friend notification popped up.
Zachary Pierce: "Yardley, what percentage cut do you want for the two items?"
Faye Yardley thought for a moment. After providing the blueprints, she didn't want to manage anything—a completely hands-off approach. So, she said what she'd originally planned: "How about a ten percent cut for both combined?"
"That's all?!"
"It's plenty. If you agree, Mr. Pierce, we can sign a contract and I'll give you the blueprints. After that, I'll just be reaping the rewards without lifting a finger, you know."
"Hold on."
After those two words, the other side went silent. Faye Yardley raised an eyebrow. 'Did he really think I asked for too little?'
'Is his sense of justice that strong? He doesn't even want to take an easy bargain?'
But to her, it really was plenty.
More importantly, she had identical blueprints. As long as she obtained another production workshop blueprint and an intelligent robot, she could set up her own production line.
Making her constantly monitor the workshop's production status and then post trades... doing it once or twice was fine, but any more than that, and she'd definitely find it annoying.
Besides, it wasn't like this was an exclusive money-making opportunity.
Didn't Logan Langdon have a blueprint for "Love" brand sanitary napkins?
Moreover, the price of a mass-market female product like this definitely wouldn't be high. In any case, she believed Zachary Pierce's side wouldn't price it high at all.
In truth, no matter how much or how little she earned, she couldn't lose.
Her Talent guaranteed she would never lack for food or drink in this game.
She was the system's darling who could live well on luck alone!
That's why she had to hold on to the number one spot on the raft leaderboard!
Having experienced the wonderful feeling of an overflowing Luck Value, how could she bear to go back to just ordinary good luck?
After some back-and-forth with Zachary Pierce, they reached a friendly consensus and signed a cooperation agreement. The contract stipulated that if either party independently obtained another blueprint for the Guardian Sanitary Napkin, they could set up a separate production workshop without being restricted by this agreement.
She handed the blueprints for the hand warmers and sanitary napkins to Zachary Pierce, ticking another item off her list.
Faye Yardley sent Zachary Pierce a pair of men's gloves and a dozen beers as a Red Envelope, with the message: A pleasure doing business with you (๑*◡*๑).
The weather outside had cleared up, and it was still early. Faye Yardley pushed open the door and felt that the sky had become bluer and the air fresher than the past few days.
Of course, that might have just been her imagination.
But looking at her raft, which had grown significantly larger, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
She looked around. Good, the large trash recycling bin was still standing firmly in its original spot.
Just then, she noticed the L-shaped corner to her left where the raft expanded.
She walked over to the extra space near the recycling bin and began placing planter boxes measuring 2m long, 1m wide, and 0.5m high. Faye Yardley placed them in pairs, leaving a walkway in between for convenient planting and watering later on.
She had originally intended to put them all down, but then she remembered the recent drop in temperature. She had even gotten a down jacket and padded winter clothes from a box opening, which meant a major cold snap was coming. It probably wasn't a good time for planting, at least not for now.
So, she placed eight planter boxes outside, making exactly four pairs.
Thanks to her Talent Skill activating, the original three she had opened had turned into eighteen.
She planned to place one inside her room later to see if she could grow anything indoors in the harsh environment.
Then she'd put one on each side of the Wooden House door, against the wall, to use for planting flowers in the future.
What reassured Faye Yardley was that once these items were placed on the raft, they became as solid as if they had grown from it. She didn't have to worry about them being blown away by the wind or slowly being rocked into the sea by the waves.
"Alright, I'll start fishing for treasure chests from this side now."
She took the fishing rod from her backpack, cast the line, and began to wait for a catch.
While she was fishing, Zachary Pierce also upgraded his raft to Level Five, finally making enough space for the hundred-square-meter production workshop.
Her fishing always yielded a catch; she never reeled in an empty line. This kind of experience would have made the fishing fanatics of her past life's eyes turn red with jealousy.
As for now, she didn't know if anyone else genuinely enjoyed these days of non-stop fishing with no other leisure activities.
Once Faye Yardley started fishing, she had very little free time to pay attention to anything else.
So, for her, time flew by in the joy of her constant hauls.
When she snapped back to reality, the sun was already beginning to set. Thanks to her increased Constitution and Strength, she didn't feel physically tired even after fishing for so long, but there was still mental fatigue.
"What a wonderful and interesting day."
If anyone else heard Faye Yardley say that, they would probably be distorted with jealousy.
After all, not everyone was as lucky as she was.
Faye Yardley could say with absolute certainty that in District 101, no one had a higher Luck Value than her!
BEEP BEEP BEEP~
Leo Sloan: "Yardley, do you have a Hemostatic Pill or a Bandage? I didn't get an Iron Treasure Box this time, but I did get some pearls. Can I trade with those?"
Faye Yardley: "Sure. Mr. Sloan, you should take better care of yourself in the future. Don't get hurt so often."
Leo Sloan: "Thanks. Red Envelope."
Faye Yardley didn't dawdle. She sent him one Bandage and one Hemostatic Pill. He was a rare, good person to get along with, and she didn't want anything to happen to him.
She took out the pearls from the Red Envelope. They were all perfectly round, about the size of a thumb, and there were eight of them.
'Maybe when a jewelry-making merchant appears in the future, I can have them made into pearl accessories to wear.'
'Huh, what about all that coral I scraped off the seabed? I completely forgot about it.'
She wasn't tired or hungry. What she needed now was to train her body. It would be best if someone could teach her combat techniques.
She opened the group chat. For once, there were fewer than 99 new messages.
Faye Yardley: Sorry to bother everyone, but does anyone know a good combat instructor they could recommend?
Wade Warren: Admin, I know a Daoist who practices Martial Arts. I'm not sure if that's the kind of combat technique you're looking for, though.
Zachary Pierce: I can teach you.
Faye Yardley: Thanks, Mr. Pierce, but your time is precious. It would be better for me to spend some resources to find someone with more free time. Mr. Warren, could you please recommend the Master to me first? Thank you.
Wade Warren stared at the group chat message, a bitter taste in his mouth. 'Why was I so eager to jump in? It's obvious the admin and the big shot have a special relationship.'
'And the one I mentioned is a young, handsome Daoist... Crap, the big shot isn't going to kill me, is he?'
Faye Yardley: Mr. Warren?
Wade Warren: Okay, just a moment. Let me talk to him first.
