that she had paused to reflect she felt
a dull pain yet when she glanced at her
inventory displaying Gra material 20 she
felt a surge of satisfaction next she
needed wood she first attempted to snap
branches from a small tree but even
after stripping the leaves she did not
acquire a single piece of wood after
some contemplation she resolved to use
the axe to f a tree she had found the
axe heavy even when merely holding it
earlier now using it to chop down a tree
she wondered how long she could manage
gu onon approached a tree with a trunk
as thick as her calf and began to chop
with each swing her her strength rated
at a mere two points was further
diminished by her injured hands time
passed slowly gu onon watched as the sun
dipped lower in the sky feeling frantic
as she struggled to even fa a single
tree the iron ax was not lightweight and
chopping required considerable Force
lacking experience she had no idea how
to conserve her energy even the marks
she left were uneven though she aimed
carefully she could not consistently
strike the same spot she had to be
cautious in to chop in the same area
what seemed a simple task became
increasingly complex to make matters
worse the axe was significantly heavier
than a knife even alternating her arms
to swing it left her feeling weak and
trembling from overexertion fortunately
her persistent effort had kept her
warmer than before ultimately the pain
in her wrist became unbearable and the
iron axe slipped from her grasp in that
moment ganion was overwhelmed by a wave
of frustration despite biting her lip
tears streamed down her face in the span
of a single day she had endured multiple
life-altering changes in such dire
circumstances she had not succumbed to
self-pity on the beach but had fought
fiercely for survival she had genuinely
tried her best but why was it so
difficult what was she to do would she
freeze to death although she lived
inland she was acutely aware of how
frigid the Sea Breeze was at dawn during
her Seaside excursions it was bitterly
cold penetrating to the Bone moreover
the temperature here resembled that of
way high before her Crossing with a
nighttime chill and strong winds how
unbearable would it become she knew that
those who gathered seafood at night
needed to wear thick coats gutin un
tugged at the scant fabric draping her
shoulders despairingly squatting down as
tears fell freely she felt exhausted and
in pain yet that scoundrel might also
find himself in this game no she
couldn't afford to die a fierce desire
to survive IGN Ed in her eyes she began
to massage her right arm with her left
hand and after a moment wiped away her
tears silently picking up the iron axe
to continue her efforts though The
Notches she had carved into the tree
were halfhazard they had grown
considerably deep perhaps with a bit
more perseverance she could f it she
bore the pain resting intermittently as
she chopped spending half an hour in
this manner with a criss crack the tree
finally fell gu andon had been
mechanically swinging her arms so the
sudden sound startled her just as she
prepared to dodge she noticed the fallen
tree had vanished before it could even
touch the ground a mechanical voice
echoed in her ears system notification
obtained W material 30 snaap back to
reality gu tonon hastily summoned the
system panel opening her inventory to
confirm she had indeed acquired 30 units
of wood it turned out that even a
moderately sized tree could yield 15
pieces of wood and with the fishing
systems buff she had accumulated 30
there was a glimmer of hope she had
succeeded and could survive guo tanen's

wide smile requirements for upgrading
