Nui appeared in the distance, and I was forced to admit a bit of admiration at Quinn’s ability to predict distances. A straight divided the islands, but a ferry ran between them.

Buildings dotted the island on the right, with a large spire rising from the center of the island. The island on the left showed no signs of civilization save a single dilapidated dock. A lush jungle ran along the shore, and faint wisps of smoke rose from somewhere in the center of the island.

Quinn steered Betsy toward the right island and docked the vessel in a waiting berth. “Welcome to Nui, ladies, gentlemen, bird, and bear. It’s an interesting little place. Not a lot of action.”

“After the last few days, a lack of action is exactly what we need,” I said. Even from the dock, I could smell food cooking in the city. Sizzling meat and fresh bread teased my nostrils. “Now let’s go before I starve to death. I can’t take any more ship food.”

I followed my nose to a food stall set up at the edge of the docks. The man behind the counter flashed me a grin when I approached. “Smelled the food, did you?”

“I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that’s how you get most of your customers, right?”

Another grin and a thumbs up. “You know it. No one eats more than a hungry sailor fresh off the sea. And the storms that spring up between here and the Great Turtles mean people have to take long routes to reach Nui, so they’re usually sick of their rations by the time they arrive.”

“I’ll take two,” I said.

“Two what?”

“Whatever you’ve got that smells so good.”

The cook laughed and tightened the strap of fabric he used to tie back his hair. “Sure thing. That’d be the pork.”

I raised an eyebrow. “Pork? I thought there was only fish out here.”

He gestured to the island across from us. “There are wild pigs over there. Really fat ones, too. They’re great for food, so the people on Nui eat pretty well. That’s why a lot of us set up shop here.”

I handed over the coin and bit down into one of the skewers. Rich, fatty juices exploded in my mouth, aided by the more subtle flavors of the seasoning. “I don’t think I’ve ever tasted anything so amazing,” I said. “How did you manage this?”

“Max-level Cooking abilities! Everyone else focused on leveling up, but I’m not much of a fighter, especially when there is real risk involved. I figured all that grinding would make people hungry, so I focused on improving my Cooking. Other players can handle the dangerous part of things. Now they like my food so much that they bring me ingredients without me ever needing to leave the island.”

“Smart,” I said. “But I can see why. Where do they hunt at?”

“Mostly across the way, but some people manage to nab wildlife on some of the far-flung islands of the realm. I haven’t ventured out that way, naturally.
