After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

The other party knew she had been to Scorching Gorge,

wait a few more days, and when the news of the Paladin's death reached White Dove City, it would be easy to connect it to her.

Once this got out...!

Lulu's eyes flashed coldly, she bared her fangs, and looked towards the white wall opposite the bathroom. That was the living room, where she could make a sudden move while the other two were off guard. She was fifty percent confident.

Only... Lulu hesitated at this thought. After all, 'Li Cha' had saved her, and she wasn't heartless or ungrateful; she knew how to repay favors.

But she really couldn't understand why the other party had saved her.

To notify the Holy Light Church in secret, to capture her alive and claim the bounty?

The reward for her capture wasn't small at all...

"Roar~!"

The girl's throat let out a wolf-like growl of annoyance that she couldn't suppress, and she gently pounded her fist against the fog-covered wall.

The ample fruits shook with the movement.

She couldn't see through that detestable human's thoughts!

It felt like she had walked into a trap, yet she couldn't find any evidence, a frustration that made her feel defeated!

Was 'Li Cha' hiding something, was he really the 'Lin Da' she was looking for?

When Lulu was pinned down in the cave by that person, she had originally intended to bite off his fingers with all her might, but it was a look he inadvertently gave that frightened her.

It was the same look as the captain of the Primordial Adventure Team, the cold and cruel look of 'Lin Da' who treated his members like a machine, liking to weed out the useless members batch by batch!

This fear was etched deep into Lulu's bones, and all members of the Primordial Adventure Team feared their captain.

On one hand, Lulu admired the other's rational decisiveness, able to issue various commands in the face of an imminent attack from Magical Creatures.

But on the other hand, this 'Lin Da,' the captain's attitude towards team members, was almost like a master towards slaves!

Anyone falling behind even slightly would be kicked into the logistics team!

If their second performance still wasn't up to the mark, they'd be directly driven away with their equipment confiscated.

Some were simply transferred to other teams!

Lulu had been scared by that look so reminiscent of 'Lin Da,' so when her phobia kicked in and she felt the contamination in her body being purified, she gave up resisting,

and let that large hand, like a dentist, move around in her mouth unchecked.

Now that she reflected on it, Lulu harbored some doubt about whether 'Li Cha' was 'Lin Da.'

She planned to first pay a visit to the Snow Goose Adventure Team in the Inner City District to see if the Snow Goose's Lin Da was the 'Lin Da' she was searching for.

If he was, it would mean 'Li Cha' hadn't lied to her.

If not, she would have to thoroughly investigate 'Li Cha.' Read today on m,v,l,e,mpyr

Five minutes later, Lulu had finished her bath.

Born into a poor Beastmen family, she had the good virtue of thriftiness and had cleaned herself efficiently in just five minutes.

Picking up the bands of bandages from the floor, she rewrapped the useless excess fat around her, and as Lulu put on her clothes, she thought to herself that she would stay in that person's squad to hide until she had finished her business in White Dove City.

...

While Lulu was washing up in the bathroom, Lin Da and Kafni had already sat down to rest.

The two of them were eating grapes bought along the way, drinking hot water, and lying in a soft, large sofa, suddenly feeling much less exhausted from hunting Magical Creatures.

Lin Da was checking the rewards he had received for raising Lulu's trust level, while Kafni was holding several shiny Demon Cores, her mouth not stopping for a moment, the grapes bought along the way quickly consumed by the handfuls.

If not for some Divine Power in that Deity, it really would have turned into a Scrap God.

Lin Da sighed.

His attention was focused on the personal interface of the system.

At the bottom, there was a section called 'Warehouse,' where he could store the rewards given by the system.

In the warehouse, there were two items.

He clicked to inspect the first item.

[Name: Walnut Wood Magic Sword]

[Type: Weapon - Sword/Magic Wand]

[Quality: Purple Rare]

[Level: 10]

[Attribute Points: Strength +160, Magic Power +160, 10% increase in Chanting Speed, Agility +10]

[Equipment Score: 207, An excellent magic and melee dual-purpose weapon that wouldn't break even if used to bash a Heavy Armored Warrior's head]

Seeing the terrifying attributes of the Walnut Wood Magic Sword, Lin Da jolted upright on the couch.

A dual attack boost of 160 was outrageous!

His current 'Rusty One-Handed Sword' only added 10 points to strength!

His personal Basic Attributes currently were dual attack 103.

Wearing this Walnut Wood Magic Sword would more than double his combat prowess.

"High-quality equipment is truly formidable. When I worked as a Healer, I always used blue rare gear; I've never used purple."

Lin Da sighed internally.

The Snow Goose Adventure Team's common funds gave priority to Lia, Aiko, and Klrona, with their main weapons all being of purple rare quality, depleting the common funds and causing Lin Da to use only blue equipment.

"What's gotten into you?" Kafni, seeing his sudden surprise, said annoyedly.

"Just thought of something exciting."

Lin Da planned to wait until he was away from the witch in the bathroom, and then tell Kafni about the Walnut Wood Magic Sword, pretending it was his innate skill.

Even Kafni was not to know about the system's existence.

This secret, like being a transmigrator, Lin Da didn't plan to tell anyone.

"The Walnut Wood Magic Sword is level 10; I have to be at level 10 to wear it, and I'm only level 8. I'll just store it in the warehouse for now."

Lin Da thought privately as he inspected the second loyalty reward.

[Name: Large Explosion Stone]

[Type: Item - Attack Class - Magic]

[Quality: Purple Rare]

[Item Level: 20 (Items differ from equipment; adventurers of any level can use them)]

[Description: Causes a large explosion with a twenty-meter radius, based on the adventurer's Magic Power, inflicting 'greatly increased' damage with a maximum equivalent to a level 20 'Ultimate Skill']

Two keywords in the item's description stood out to Lin Da: 'greatly increased' and 'Ultimate Skill'.

In his mind, Lin Da recalled the basic function introduction from the "Mystic Continent" game, where damage was described in various terms:

Minor Damage, based on the adventurer's strength or Magic Power, causing 0-100% damage.

Moderate Damage, 1-2 times the adventurer's strength or Magic Power.

Fairly High, 2-4 times.

High, 4-6 times.

The damage from the Large Explosion Stone was classified as 'greatly increased,' which was 6-10 times Lin Da's Magic Power value.

The Large Explosion Stone had an upper damage limit, equivalent to a level 20 adventurer's 'Ultimate Skill'.

All of an adventurer's Skills are divided into two categories: 'Common Skills' and 'Ultimate Skills'. The former can be used multiple times, like Lin Da's Venom Magic Sphere, which has a low consumption and can be used ten times in full force.

But Ultimate Skills often consume a lot, causing the Magic Circuit to overheat after being activated. An Ultimate Skill can usually be used only once in a battle, and very rarely twice.

When the description of the Skills is the same, the 'high damage' from an Ultimate Skill greatly surpasses that of a 'high damage' Common Skill.

Therefore, the power of Lin Da's Large Explosion Stone was roughly equivalent to Ice Flower Adventure Team's Isa using her level 20 Ultimate Skill 'Ice Blade Waltz' to kill the Armored Turtle Snake during a live Strategy session.
