112 Day Challenge - Rebecca Keller

Last Week Of Summer ... And This Challenge Is Turning Out To Be A Challenge

Despite some setbacks and the choice to adjust her strategy away from the norm, Rebecca has been doing well as far as production is concerned. With her loss of transportation and the need to jog everywhere she goes, she has been able to adapt a more focused strategy that attempts to garner whatever benefit she can get from each step she takes. She doesn't go anywhere without it serving several purposes and does business along the way.

She tries to get some relaxation on the weekends, but that has been difficult seeing as she is always pressed for time. She finished her first week with a little more than 26,000 simoleons but has chosen not to make any investment in property yet (and that's a first for challengers). On her second Sunday she did jog to the bookstore and bought all the cooking recipes (for around 21,000 simoleons).

For relaxation and some peace, Rebecca normally spends Sundays at the Library. The atmosphere makes studying more efficient. She can get a lot done. She usually finishes the day at the gym trying to stay in shape pumping iron. Jogging everywhere and eating nothing but raw fruit has been making her boney, and she doesn't like that.

Towards the middle of the second week of her challenge Rebecca was already harvesting what she had planted with special seeds. She has plenty of life fruits by now and has harvest plasma fruit and death flowers. By the last week in Summer she had finally grown a flame fruit plant and harvested it once.

Speaking of death flowers ... Trying to stay ahead in her fishing and wrap that up by the end of Summer, Rebecca was fishing for angelfish to use as bait up in the mountains by the falls. She got hit by a meteor (i had the speed fast, a stack of fish notices, the volume down and was cleaning out her inventory ... Never saw the notice and it was too late to move).

But ... Rebecca had harvested two death flowers the day before ... The Grim reaper gladly accepted the trade ... And after analyzing the meteor and other rocks made a total of 17, 655 simoleons. I me4am she might have had to die in the process, but she ended up making more money than she started the game with ... 🤣😂

In the last week of Summer she had caught enough deathfish to top out her Angler Career. Rebecca was thankful she met the challenges career requirement, and she didn't have to spend any more nights in the Graveyard. She packed up her remaining bait and stored it away for use in the Spring if necessary. Most challengers fish through the challenge for food and well as profit, but Rebecca doesn't have a burn pit anymore (stolen in the first week) so there is no use for her to do that.

As she had planned, Rebecca started focusing on science as soon as she cleared her fishing requirements. She does have the Computer Whiz and Genius traits. Rebecca hopes she is nerdy enough to progress there without too many complications.

That kind of brings us to Friday in the last week of Summer when James Brand returned to Rebecca's challenge campsite. Uh yeah ... He stole her tent this time. She couldn't do anything but call the cops. When James was headed over to where her treasure chest and shower were, she interrupted him requesting they take a photo together. This not only distracted James, but the cops showed up before they were through taking the picture.

But ... Officer Keisha Wyatt is a terrible police officer ... Wait for them to finish ... Then walked right past James to tell Rebecca the burglar got away with her tent.

Challenge officials discussed the matter, and the legal department got involved ... They all kind of felt sorry for Rebecca. The point was made that Community Lots are not off limits and can be used to their function. Additionally, two Community Lots in Hidden Springs have beds and the officials could not see the difference in sleeping on a couch or bench on a Community Lot and sleeping in a bed on a lot. They approached Rebecca with the good news.

Surprisingly ... Rebecca refused the generous offer saying ... "There have been Challengers that have lost their tents in the past. I am doing this as a challenge and to build character as much as wealth and knowledge. You may think it is stupid, but I am going to tough it out. I don't expect I won't suffer some more ... And it's the stuff Legends are made of" ... 🤣😂😆

Happy Simming ... 💖
