156 Spell Shop

As the sun slowly climbed above the horizon, casting a soft, golden hue over the middle deck of the cruise ship, Alan navigated through the atmosphere that was charged with anticipation. The impending third round of the game hung like an invisible shroud over everyone. Some players engaged in animated discussions at the bars, their voices tinged with both excitement and apprehension. Others, much like Alan, opted to devote their final hours to a different activity: shopping.

Alan's initial destination was the familiar [Item Shop]. He had no immediate intention of making purchases, as most of his essential supplies for the upcoming round had already been entrusted to Bill. His visit was primarily to check in on Bill, who was on the verge of setting up his [Wolverine Shop] for the next round.
