After sitting down for dinner, Eliza asked: "So, if you know about the quest, that means you've passed this level before, right? Why are you still here then?"
"Well, it's a long story, but basically, I like it here!" responded Andrzej whilst taking a bite at the cooked fish, caveman-style, before he continued. "I used to be an engineer back in the real world, but I'm so fed up with the seemingly never-ending amount of work I have to do all day, I decided to sign the contract with OMG! so I can stay in this game forever. I've passed the previous two levels, but they weren't really my cup of tea. I especially enjoy this level because I get to be all alone, by myself, with no other human beings to disturb me. Plus, I get to return to nature, which is what I've always enjoyed but had no time to explore. I can build my own little kingdom here."
"Wait, so you built all this?!" exclaimed Claire in amazement.
"Yes, I built this log cabin, brick by brick, or should I say, log by log," replied Andrzej proudly. "And all this furniture, too!"
"Wow! This is so cool!" exclaimed Eliza.
"In this world, I've learnt to distance myself with the hustle and bustle of the world and really explore my inner self," explained Andrzej, more to himself than to the spies. "I hated my job before because I couldn't see the point of my life. Here is the place where I can truly live my life to the fullest. At least I can enjoy the luxury of a full 8-hour sleep everyday and eat a wholesome meal without being in a hurry all the time."
Just when the spies were pondering about how to reach the top of the enormous tree to obtain the fossilized mosquito, they heard a deafening sound of cumbersome footsteps. They turn around to perceive a huge dinosaur with a long neck walking towards them.
"Yikes! Another dinosaur! Let's get outta here!" exclaimed Claire, getting ready to run.
"Calm down! That's just a Brachiosaurus," said Andrzej, showing no intention of moving.
"A what-a-saurus? Sorry, but using complicated vocabulary isn't helping here," answered the confused Eliza.
"Sauropods are herbivores. So, in simple terms, it's not going to eat us," replied Andrzej.
At that very instant, just when the spies were about to breathe out a sigh of relief, they heard a deafening roar coming from afar. They turned around to perceive a T-Rex running towards them at a terrifying speed.
"OK, I don't need anyone to tell me that's a T-Rex, which eats meat. Let's run!" exclaimed Eliza. Turning around, she discovered that Andrzej was already out of sight.
"Where's he gone?" asked Claire before perceiving Andrzej's head peaking out from behind the thick tree trunk, motioning the spies to follow him.
"The T-Rex isn't here for us," whispered Andrzej after all three of them were safely hidden behind the tree. "It's here to attack the Brachiosaurus, if we hide, we'll be safe."
