After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 501: 377, Purchase equipment, Ice Abyss Training Camp admission ticket

He lifted the red tea from the table and took a sip before Lin Da said thoughtfully,

“I want to post a hiring quest for a Light Mage, preferably at level 35 or above, who has not yet explored the 16th and 17th floors of the World Tree. The reward…100 Purple Gold Coins.”

“100 Purple Gold Coins?”

Weylon furrowed his brows, “The reward amount is quite high, but level 35 light mages who haven’t been past the 16th and 17th floors… they are exceedingly rare.”

Entering the World Tree is the fastest way to level up.

If an adventurer manages to reach level 35 before entering the 16th floor, it’s undoubtedly of genius caliber.

...

100 Purple Gold Coins might be a lot for an ordinary adventurer, but how appealing it is to a genius adventurer is hard to say.

Moreover, once they accept the employment of the Phoenix Tail Flower, they won’t be able to join their own adventure team to tackle the 16th and 17th floors anymore.

Those who meet Lin Da’s criteria are basically limited to “Solo Adventurers” + “Genius Adventurers.”

Such people are even rarer than three-legged toads.

Weylon’s fingers tapped on the tabletop incessantly, and after some thought, he said,

“I can put your hiring quest in the most conspicuous place on the bulletin board,

but I fear…it’s not a matter of gold, such people are very hard to come by!

Why don’t you approach another adventure team and borrow a member? The people who meet the criteria are actually right beside you.”

“Beside me?” Lin Da asked, puzzled.

“The Snow Goose Adventure Team has not yet challenged the 16th floor, just like you. It just so happens that there’s a strong Light Mage in that team.”

Weylon was close to throwing Aiko’s name right in Lin Da’s face.

According to various rumors, Lin Da and Aiko have a pretty good relationship. If Lin Da went to ask Lia with 100 Purple Gold Coins in hand, Lia might just agree.

Lin Da hiring Aiko, and then Lia using Lin Da’s gold to hire some mages of other attributes…after all, the 16th floor doesn’t require a Light Mage specifically. Weylon also couldn’t understand why Lin Da was so persistent about the Light Mage.

Lin Da fell silent for a while.

“No, President, please go ahead and post the hiring quest. Let’s recruit for a few days to see, as I need to prepare other materials anyway.”

The current Phoenix Tail Flower Team hadn’t reached the 19th floor yet, but the supplies necessary to challenge the 19th floor required proactive preparation.

Lin Da took out a prepared list and handed it to Weylon.

“I hope the Adventurers’ Guild can help me collect these materials.”

The list read: [Fire-Resistant Butterfly, Cleaner Fish Liver, Cooling Cactus, Flame Glazed Stone…]

A total of about a dozen materials.

“All these are related to fire resistance, for subjugating the Flame Giant?” Weylon’s eyes lit up.

The Flame Giant, a thorn stuck in the World Tree in White Dove City, was a constant irritation for Weylon.

Without removing this thorn, giving rise to a Sunrise Level adventure team was challenging.

All of Weylon’s hopes had been placed on Abner initially.

However, Abner’s team didn’t mesh well with the Flame Giant…

Their front-line Heavy Armored Warriors were not hardy enough.

Abner himself, though a Water System Swordsman, focused on agility and was quite fragile.

On the contrary, the Flame Giant’s terrifyingly thick Life Barrier could plague adventurers with nightmares for a week.

Weylon had seen many battle recordings of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team. Lin Da’s Recovery Amount and defensive power, along with his Flying Skills, were all assets that could shine brightly in the battle to subdue the Flame Giant.

Between the two teams, the one more likely to win was probably the White Dove Adventure Group.

But in terms of subduing the Flame Giant, Phoenix Tail Flower had the upper hand.

“Leave these materials to me; even if I have to dig three feet into the ground in Cangqing Province, I will find them for you!” Weylon proclaimed, thumping his chest excitedly.

Currently, Phoenix Tail Flower and White Dove Adventure Group are the most hopeful teams to subdue the Flame Giant. Once they break through the Nightmare Class 19th floor, the World Tree Goddess is bound to bestow a generous blessing. Nine times out of ten, the first Sunrise Level adventure team of White Dove City will be born.

Weylon was willing to spare no effort to make this happen.

“Thank you very much, Lord President,” Lin Da said, standing up and bowing sincerely.

Thereafter, he received an additional 2.2 million Gold Coins.

This was the appearance fee and share from the exhibition match.

After leaving the Adventurers’ Guild, Lin Da emerged as a wealthy individual with more than ten million Gold Coins.

He kept five million for emergencies and used the rest to purchase equipment.

In the Imperial Credit Bank, Lin Da bought an orange Magic Cannon for Tasya. Kafni and Lulu each bought a 36-level Epic Two-Star Main Weapon.

[Bleeding Magic Blade]

[Attribute: Strength +1100, Agility +200]

…

[Golden Lion Gauntlets]

[Attribute: Strength +1400, Defense +100]

…

With these two pieces of equipment, Kafni’s and Lulu’s damage output had greatly increased. Especially Lulu, after rising to Star Rank, her Ultimate Skill [Berserk+] could increase even more damage, making her comprehensive output extremely high, second only to Moon Rank’s Tasya.

Even Monica, when it came to comprehensive output, was no match for Lulu.

The equipment bought for Tasya was rare orange-grade:

[Whirlwind Shark Magic Cannon]

[Level: 40]

[Attribute: Strength +3300, Agility +300]

…

The amplified Attribute Points were extremely terrifying!

Even though the weapon itself was only orange-grade, its attributes surpassed those added by Star Rank Epic Weapons.

From this, it was clear how otherworldly Lin Da and his two companions’ victory over Hu Er in the Sealed Great Mystery Continent had been… If this news were to go public, their ratings in the Adventurer’s Weekly might all reach 10 stars.

Feeling the immense power contained within the Whirlwind Shark Magic Cannon, Lin Da and the others longed even more for the Moon Rank.

A Moon Rank adventurer in their prime had an overwhelming dominance over those of Star Rank.

Only by entering this rank did one truly embark on the path to the continent.

“If it’s us, not to mention reaching Moon Rank, even becoming legends is within our reach,” Lin Da declared, his gaze sweeping across his teammates’ shining eyes with firm conviction.

“Yes!”

Lulu and others had never doubted the future of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team.

Since Lin Da had promised to take them to the top, he would surely fulfill it.

The current Lin Da was stronger than the once solitary Dark Shadow.

They were willing to fight for the Phoenix Tail Flower Team with all their hearts.

Upon leaving the bank, Lin Da and his group rode a carriage back to Luanwei Flower Villa.

In the carriage, Lin Da held the hands of Lulu and Monica, distinctly feeling a warm current in his heart that connected them to each other.

The trust and bonds between teammates transformed into tangible strength, linking their bodies and souls together.

Every time this happened, Kafni felt like sitting on pins and needles, rolling her eyes and looking out the window.

…

Upon returning to Luanwei Flower Villa, as soon as Lin Da entered the living room,

“Master, please look at this.”

Tasya came over, holding an envelope.

On the envelope was depicted a valley covered in snow, and at the center of the valley stood a straight flagpole.

The azure flag fluttered in the wind, with a silver crescent moon engraved on it.

Lin Da’s eyes sharpened.

That was the emblem of one of the Empire’s four Guardian Dukes, the Coldmoon Duke!

The valley on the envelope marked the location of the Ice Abyss Training Camp.

All the team members gathered around, curiosity shining in their eyes.

The famous Ice Abyss Training Camp in Cangqing Province stirred the inherent desire for power in all the adventurers, except for the socially anxious Monica.

Loving to seek out places of power was an adventurer’s nature.

Lin Da opened the envelope and took out a blue card from inside.

The moment he held it, a pure stream of Ice Magic Power swept across his body.

Lin Da felt as if he was standing naked in an ice cellar, involuntarily shivering.

The temperature in the spacious villa’s living room instantly dropped by half!

Lulu and the others circulated their Magic Circuits to resist the cold, a vigilant look appearing in their eyes.
