Chapter 17
Chapter 17 The Grind
Free Caine
Over the next two days, Riley completely gave up on the whole ‘running around like a bearlless chicken searching for crates” approach. If luck wasn’t on her side, fine—she’d outwork it.
Every morning, she woke up on time, choked down the sour wild berries, left half a piece of bread on the rock, and hauled her sled into the woods.
The little elf–girl–Riley had started thinking of her as “Sylvie” in her head, since she clearly wasn’t just some random animal–seemed to have turned it into a regular trade. Every day, a fresh cluster of berries by the wall. Every day, half a loaf left in return.
With “Strength: 12” and the “Pioneer’s Wristguard” doing their thing, plus Riley’s relentless, almost mechanical work ethic, the two days added up to some serious gains.
