Faye Yardley was searching the depths of the sea for those massive Sea Monsters. This was far faster than salvaging trash for one or two points at a time. Of course, this was also because others were helping to clean up the surface trash, so she didn't have to worry about it. She could focus entirely on harvesting Sea Monsters and rapidly racking up points.
Thus, under the astonished gazes of everyone monitoring the leaderboard, the first-place points skyrocketed, climbing at a much faster rate than anyone else's.
By the time Faye returned to her raft, it was already late at night. She noticed she had a ton of missed calls. Naturally, she returned her brother's call first.
It took a moment for the call to connect.
"Faye, you... you look alright. I'm just glad you didn't do anything reckless," Ethan Yardley said.
