After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

"Oh. Then please support the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, and remember to attend their strategy livestream," Aiko said with a smile.

"Absolutely!" The elf nodded hastily.

Aiko's appearance immediately became the focus of the hall.

Rock-level Squad member, titled Holy Mage, a young prodigy adventurer.

With various accolades under her belt, Aiko garnered a group of loyal fans.

She came to the Adventurer's Guild to promote the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team's strategy livestream.

Aiko worried that there wouldn't be a single viewer on the day of the livestream.

After all, the first three floors were too easy, nothing worth watching.

It was from a drunk Kafni that Aiko learned about the Phoenix Tail Flower's livestream event yesterday.

Although Aiko didn't think much of it... if Lin Da wanted to do it, then just do it. She'd help him wholeheartedly so that Lin Da could see her enthusiasm.

Thanks to her personal promotion, the news of the Phoenix Tail Flower's livestream starting in two days was quickly known by everyone.

"Miss Aiko, we will definitely watch it!"

A group of adoring fans shouted excitedly, with hearts in their eyes.

"Thank you all~"

Aiko waved her little hand and left the Adventurer's Guild contentedly.

When she returned to the villa, she happened to run into Lia.

"Where have you been, taking so long to come back?"

"Got the money, and the equipment too."

Lia tossed a snake-skin bag onto the ground.

The contents clanked inside.

Two sets of front-row armor, new magic scrolls, jewelry, weapons...

These items had cost Lia 200,000 Gold Coins.

Under her persistent cajoling, Bellini agreed to lend the money,

but it was all the Bloody Baron's money, and Bellini required Lia to repay it within two months.

Therefore, the next floor's strategy was critical.

Lia clenched her fist with a determined look in her eyes.

If the Snow Goose Adventure Team successfully cleared the 12th floor, they would be able to repay the borrowed money from the family, boost Snow Goose's fame again, and she would also prove her capability as a team leader.

"No matter what, we have to clear the 12th floor."

Lia murmured to herself.

Aiko suddenly spoke up, "The day after tomorrow, the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team will start their strategy livestream. Are you going?"

"No," Lia paused for a second, then shook her head and said, "I have to train hard to reach level 25 as soon as possible."

"Oh, I see."

Aiko saw Lia's furrowed brow and swallowed back the words she wanted to say.

Actually... the other members of Snow Goose had all agreed to go and support them.

Even Chloe had agreed, and quite readily at that.

Aiko wanted to organize everyone to go together, to boost rapport,

being the lead organizer would give her the greatest credit.

But it's fine if Lia doesn't go...

That woman shouldn't be there anyway.

"What about Chloe?" Lia looked around and didn't see her.

"Holed up in her room, no idea what she's doing. Why don't you go check?" Aiko suggested.

"Not necessary, if you need comforting for everything, how can you become a mature Heavy Armored Warrior? The defeat on the 11th floor is temporary, we'll soon wash away this disgrace."

Lia flipped her fiery red hair confidently and strode towards her room. As she opened the door, she abruptly said, "Aiko, have you heard of the Fire God Summit competition?"

"How could I not? It's the biggest adventuring event in the Southern Fire Empire."

Aiko added silently to herself, the Lin Da you drove away had participated in that competition.

Lia declared, "Our ultimate goal is to go to that grand stage and win!"

Aiko chuckled internally.

It's good for young people to have dreams.

But don't take it too seriously.

Lia was full of enthusiasm.

She went to her room and attached the Fire God Summit's promotional poster to her wall, motivating herself at all times.

During her two days in Red Heart City, Bellini had told her an inspiring story. There was once an ordinary adventure team called 'Primordial' with no special backing. Through hard work and sweat, they emerged from the crowd, became famous step by step, attracted countless talents to join, and even won the Fire God Summit competition.

The rise of the Primordial Adventure Team was a motivational legend.

Lia took out an old newspaper from her luggage and looked at the news from over three years ago, feeling greatly inspired.

[At the Fire God Summit, it's a decisive victory: Primordial Adventure Team wins the championship with an overwhelming advantage, with a God-level adventurer, a promising future!]

On the front page of the old newspaper, there was a group photo of the adventure team members.

In the center was a man shrouded in a dark cloak, wearing a white mask, his demeanor cold and aloof.

Behind the man was a group of diverse female adventurers.

These young women were beautiful, powerful, from various races, and their eyes were full of vigor.

"I also want to become an inspirational figure like him!"

Lia found a new idol.

That vanished legend, the captain of the Primordial Adventure Team, Dai Lian!

...

"Achoo!"

Lin Da almost sneezed out his snot.

He rubbed his nose, puzzled, thinking whether someone was talking about him.

It was noon outside.

At this moment, they were busy preparing for their strategy livestream.

They had rented a training room, Lin Da at the front, focused on controlling an Illusion Puppet.

He had spent 1000 Gold Coins to have an Illusionist customize it. Controlling the puppet with a joystick, he simulated the attack patterns of the hidden boss.

"Attack."

"Stop, once you see the Magical Creature lift its hand, immediately run to the left."

"It's the second phase now, be careful to dodge; don't attack at all."

Command after command left no room for hesitation.

Kafni and Monica were nearly exhausted to the point of collapsing.

Once training began, Lin Da was like a different person, strictly correcting every little error they made.

Up until the night before the strategy kicked off, Lin Da spent it with them in the training room.

That night, at 10 o'clock, they were finally deemed qualified.

"Hard work,"

Lin Da passed them water.

"Damn tiring," Kafni grumbled, clutching the water bottle and guzzling it down.

Monica politely said thank you and then began to sip.

When the group left the training room, they ran into Lulu who had hurried over.

Lulu's boots were covered in dust, and she looked weary.

"I've got what you wanted; it was hard to find. I searched all over the stores in Red Heart City and South Rock City, and only found these,"

she said, handing over three silver potions.

Metal Destroyer.

Lin Da had entrusted Lulu to find them in other cities for him.

Meanwhile, he had also posted purchase notices in White Dove City but only managed to acquire one bottle.

Because the potions were rare and adventurers didn't cherish them, often using them carelessly, even though Lin Da offered a high price of 1000 gold coins, they were still hard to purchase.

"Thanks. How about a drink at the tavern?"

"No thanks, I still have things to do," Lulu said as she walked away with her hands in her pockets. Her voice floated back, "Be safe tomorrow."

"Why doesn't Sister Lulu stay with us?" Monica asked, puzzled.

"She has her own business to attend to. When she's done, she'll come over to stay with us,"

Lin Da said on the surface, but deep down, he also wondered - what was Lulu's purpose for coming to White Dove City?

When he first met Lulu, she seemed particularly concerned about whether Phoenix Tail Flower was a local adventure team in White Dove City.

It seemed there could only be one reason for this requirement.

After spending half a year with a local adventurer's team, one could apply for an identity card from White Dove City.

What did she want with that?

Even when Lin Da asked Lulu, the beastwoman girl refused to answer.

In the end, she hadn't completely trusted him.

Lin Da pondered that after completing the first three levels, he would buy a big house in the Inner City District and invite Lulu to live with them.

Living together for a long time would inevitably increase the chances to gain trust.

Once the trust level reached 100, Lulu probably wouldn't keep things from him.

...

After having dinner with the team members, Lin Da and his group returned to their rented house to rest.

Tomorrow, it was Phoenix Tail Flower's first live strategy broadcast.

It would also be their debut performance.

Lin Da, as the team captain, was deeply concerned.

The more successful this strategy, the higher Phoenix Tail Flower's prestige would be.

The level of prestige directly determined whether the empire would notify you when a wild Mystic Realm was discovered.

Adventure teams with high strength and high prestige had priority.

Making a name would also better promote his strategies, helping those lower-level adventurers.

Therefore, this 'debut' needed to be flawless for Lin Da.

Standing at the bedroom door, he watched Monica fall asleep.

"Let's sleep, too,"

Lin Da looked toward Kafni lying on the couch, who was still engrossed in comic books.

"It's finally starting," Kafni said, putting down the comic books with deep emotion.

She said, "The first step on the road back to being a deity feels like it's about to start."

"Actually, I've had a question for a while," Lin Da turned off the lights, made a bed on the floor, and lying with his head on his arm, looked up at the ceiling and spoke lightly, "You were a woman originally, weren't you?"

Kafni was a bit annoyed, "You insulting me?"

"No. The other night, Aiko asked you who your favorite person was, and your answer was... a muscular man, right?" Lin Da glanced curiously at a deity whose complexion had turned pale, and said, "Do deities have genders like that? Once the power reaches a certain level, you wouldn't need to procreate, right?"

"Sleep, sleep! We have to attack the World Tree tomorrow!"

Kafni, ashamed, covered her face, having no recollection of being drunk the previous night.

Could it be that deep down, she was into muscular men, hoping for a wild bout?

No way!

Kafni stealthily glanced at Lin Da's face in the darkness, feeling her heart inexplicably quicken. She had to admit, the pesky hero had good looks!

If Snow Goose's Oru could rate a ten, Lin Da easily topped a hundred!

"I'm starting to have improper thoughts again,"

Kafni shivered, shook her head to clear it forcefully, and forced herself to go to sleep.

On the other side, Lin Da quietly opened the system's Back House function to sign in.

[Signed in successfully, you have won 400 diamonds]

In the wooden hut, the chibi version of Monica, laughing silly with a toy bear, mood +60%.

Lulu sat obediently on the bed, her mood rising from +10% to +30%. It seemed that people in reality do influence their chibi counterparts in the Back House?

Kafni was fast asleep, with her mood value showing virtually no change.

After three consecutive days of signing in, plus the remaining diamonds, Lin Da's balance had reached 7040.

He spent 4000 diamonds to purchase two Magic Guidance Tickets and two Strength Guidance Tickets to train Monica and Lulu automatically.

The two chibi characters in the Back House started doing push-ups on the floor.

[System Notice: Lulu's strength +5, Monica's magic power +4!]

"Without the extra bonuses of the first training, the attribute points gained indeed seemed fewer,"

Lin Da mused in his heart. This, too, was identical to the games.

To raise Lulu and Monica to Five-star Character standards, it would still require a large number of diamonds.

He spent another 2000 diamonds to buy a Gray Wolf plushie for Lulu to cuddle, raising the daily diamond income from 400 to 440.

Then he closed the system and reviewed the details of the strategy in his mind, scrutinizing and simulating.

Only after ensuring that there were no flaws in the plan three times did Lin Da feel relieved enough to fall asleep.

The first exploration of the Phoenix Tail Flower adventure team was about to begin.

Even for someone with Lin Da's temperament, it was hard not to feel excited.
