By noon the next day, Faye Yardley returned to the open sea, immediately enveloped by the scorching heat.
Perhaps because her base Constitution had already reached 42, which—combined with the 5-point bonus from the current leaderboard—brought it close to 50, she felt no discomfort whatsoever in the sweltering climate.
"It's so hot, so hot, so hot! The weather here isn't nearly as nice as it was on the island," Bella complained, scampering into the planting room to find Eamon.
Cole Kensington looked bewildered. "Do AI robots even feel the heat?"
Willow Yardley leveled a cold stare at him. "What do you think?"
"I'm sorry, Willow. Since they are lifeforms, all beings are equal and capable of feeling."
Right as he spoke, Eamon sprinted out of the planting room so fast he left an afterimage in his wake—just moments after Bella had run inside.
"Faye, help! Bella is terrorizing the fruits in the planting room again. Please get her out of there!"
