Chapter 12: Chapter 12 - Second Event

It has been 6 days since the start of the game, I have been coming online every night and working with everyone throughout the day. Working on the wall with David had been my mission since we settled down next to the forest above the canyon. After 6 days of hard work, we had finished the wall and connected a simple wooden gate. At the same time, Robin had recovered from her injury a bit enough for her to walk around and help with gathering some resources. Old man Hus had also made various tools and weapons, including daily essentials like bowls, cups and utensils, wooden swords, stone axes, spears and a couple of simple bows and stone arrows. He also worked on wooden shields, chest plates and so we had something to protect ourselves in case of another attack.

Owen had been using traps in the river below to catch fish, allowing us to eat a more balanced diet. Howard had made a large mud house, big enough for everyone to stay in, using the same method I used in creating the wall. The old shelter was used as a storage house. Lucina, Luke and Oscar stockpiled various fruits and vegetables found in the forest, sorting them out in wooden pots.

During this time, I constantly talked to the new members in order to raise their loyalty points. Owen and Oscar's points rose quickly, while David's rose at a steady rate by constantly talking to him and working with him. Robin however, was more difficult since she liked to solve her problems on her own. I was stuck on her loyalty points and could not progress no matter how much I talked to her so I gave up and decided to deal with it later.

[ Loyalty Points (Owen) MAX ]

[ Loyalty Points (Oscar) MAX ]

[ Loyalty Points (David) MAX ]

[ Loyalty Points (Robin) 50/100 ]

With the max LP I was able to see their stats.

I knew David was strong but I didn't know how strong he was until now. He had almost twice the amount of strength as Howard at the same time only slightly lower vitality. However, his cowardly nature can only be cured by himself.

As I was about to be logged out of the game I was greeted with the blue transparent screen.

[ Hello everyone! It has almost been a week since Settlement has been released and it is time for a second event!!]

[ Second Event - Invasion

Objective - Survive the invasion or Destroy the enemy encampment

Reward - Unknown ]

[ The event will go live tomorrow however, there will be a grace period between the start of the game and the start of the event! ]

I read the message and once I finished I was logged out.

I wake back up in my room thinking about the second event. Most likely it was a continuation of the first event meaning I would be up against goblins again. With more people and a base to defend survival will be easier however, with the option to destroy the enemy encampment it would mean that to get to the top 10 I would need to complete this side of the mission. Completing the survival mission would be the easy route and destroying the encampment would be the hard route.

I think about different scenarios throughout the day but I was unable to come up with a feasible plan. I can only improvise on the stop and ask for advice once I go back into the game.

The day goes by and once midnight hits, I return once again to Settlement.
