They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 320: Just a Coincidence

“Yes, you do,” the Love System replied. “Just don’t waste them. Survive, improve, and make sure you are out of that forest in less than two months. That is your best shot.”

“Got it,” Nnenna whispered.

Her fingers clenched into fists at her sides.

“We plan to be out in a few weeks… if all works well.” Nnenna sighed and rubbed her eyes. “I pray it does.”

With that, she finally shut her eyes for some sleep, something she had not truly had in days. But they were safe now, at least for a little while, so she let herself drift off. Just before sleep claimed her, she gave the love system a quiet permission, If danger comes and I’m unaware, use whatever good points are necessary to protect us…

Morning came faster than expected.

The crew had a quick breakfast, light but enough to keep them moving. Abuchi, however, was already gone before the others could lift their spoons. He was determined to be the first in line at the currency exchange.

Lumna, like Jupe, was a kingdom fueled by trade. Merchants from far and wide flooded its streets, and the currency exchange center was always one of the busiest places at dawn. If you came late, you waited for hours.

Ten minutes later, the line had already begun to stretch behind him.

He smiled quietly to himself.

Not today. This time, I am ready.

Abuchi’s transaction was completed quickly, thanks to his early arrival. He returned to the others, holding the neatly packed Lumna currency in a pouch.
