After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

The general idea is that the weapon significantly increases strength, but it's too heavy, and most front-line warriors simply can't use it.

Many merchants who were prepared to purchase it were caught in a dilemma when they heard this.

[Front-line professions need agility the most, this piece of equipment is a bit off...]

[As a collectible, its value is still good. Cough cough, if only it hadn't come from a despicable race like goblins.]

[Not necessarily, some front-line warriors have the ability to increase agility, and can handle this Wolf Fang Club.]

All in all, this Wolf Fang Club might not sell for a top price, but as a limited item only dropped by hidden magical creatures, coupled with its collector's value, selling it for a decent high price wouldn't be an issue.

Lin Da planned to sell it if someone offered a fair price; if the offers were too low, he'd keep it for his own collection.

Afterward, he came over to Monica, smiled, and ruffled the big lolita's head: "Good job, once we're back, the captain will make you some grilled chicken wings."

"Mm-hmm!" Monica lifted her little face, beaming with joy. Only the three members of the Phoenix Tail Flower were nearby, so her introverted nature was hidden for the moment.

Little did they know, the sensor ladybug on Lin Da's shoulder projected the heartwarming smile of the big lolita, the epitome of healing, on the big screen.

[I think I'm only now realizing what the real treasure of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team is.]

[Sigh, if only my daughter, who runs an inn with that no-good blonde adventurer every day, could be as sweet as this Monica!]

[Captain Lin Da, are any of your team members single? I've got a bold idea.]

Upstairs, Gale, known as the Observer, was also feeling sour, not envious of Lin Da's big Wolf Fang Club, but jealous that the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team had a pretty girl!

Gale's eyes were glued to Monica's imposing figure, his gaze seemingly emitting red peach hearts.

Seeing his useless look, Jite sneered: "If you dare to covet other people's team member, don't blame me for twisting your neck!"

"Wha, what do you mean? I'm just admiring, admiring!" Gale coughed, looking serious: "Any girl from Brother Bear deserves my serious appreciation! Even a statue of the World Tree Goddess, I wouldn't neglect!"

Jite: "...I hope the Goddess didn't hear that."

In the screen, Lin Da received a warm and fragrant small Treasure Chest from Monica's arms.

He glanced at a certain big lolita's healthy figure, holding the chest, feeling a ripple in his heart, as if it were Monica's panda.

'As a captain, how can you fantasize about your own team member?'

Lin Da cursed himself in his mind, took a deep breath, and focused on the small chest.

The first item was a Bonetooth Pendant that emitted a purple glow. The bone tooth, about the size of a thumb, resembled the fang of a Goblin Chieftain, and the string it was tied to was pitch-black and looked a bit dirty.

[Name: Goblin Chieftain's Bonetooth Pendant]

[Type: Equipment - Jewelry]

[Quality: Purple Rare]

[Level: 15]

[Attribute Points: Magic Power +120, Magic Defense +20, Casting Speed +10%]

[Equipment Rating: 289, as a great Goblin Chieftain, not only am I strong, but I also possess the wisdom to match it!]

Judging from the attributes, this is a piece of equipment very suitable for mages.

Lin Da caught a glimpse of Monica's earnestly watching the Bonetooth Pendant, yet too shy to speak up, and with an understanding smile, he said: "The captain and Kafni both got new gear, so this one is for you."

"But, but Monica can't use such powerful equipment." Monica hastily waved her little hands and said pitifully: "Monica is fine just wearing white gear and sweeping the warehouse."

In the mid-game, Lin Da did treat Monica this way, but there was a slight difference: in the game, he stripped Monica of all her gear and left it gathering dust in the warehouse, not even leaving her the white gear. It seems that Another World would automatically censor some uncivilized behaviors.

"Turn around, the captain will put it on for you." Lin Da said sternly, with a commanding tone.

Monica shivered, turned around fearfully, her small hands clenched nervously in front of her.

A pair of strong hands reached around from behind the girl's neck, opened the clasp of the Bonetooth Pendant, and put it on.

The Bonetooth hung on Monica's healthy figure and wouldn't fall off at all, leaving Lin Da somewhat embarrassed. Thankfully, the Bonetooth wasn't too heavy, so it wouldn't weigh Monica down.

"Monica... has become stronger!" The big lolita spoke crisply: "Thank you, Captain!"

"As a member of Phoenix Tail Flower, it's the captain's responsibility to equip you." Lin Da replied with a smile.

After speaking, he turned his attention to the last [item] in the small chest.

Yes - an item, not equipment.

```

Killing the Goblin Chieftain has a 5% chance of a drop, but on the first kill, the drop rate is 100%.

Those outside the screen, along with the sensor ladybug, all looked on: in Lin Da's palm lay a round bracelet, seemingly woven from green grass roots.

An orange glow radiated from it.

In fact, it was a ring, it's just that the Goblin Chieftain's fingers were so thick that in the eyes of an adventurer, it looked almost like a bracelet.

Lin Da's gaze scanned it, and a details page popped up:

[Name: Goblin Chieftain's Identity Ring]

[Type: Magic Items]

[Quality: Orange Rare]

[Level: 0]

[Description: Only the Goblin Chieftain could possess this proof of identity, with it, you may be invited to the Goblin King's lair at a special time, in a special place.]

Lin Da's eyes gradually sharpened.

This ring was the most valuable thing on the Goblin Chieftain.

A key to unlock the trials hidden within the mid-tier Mystic Realm!

Only by wearing the Goblin Chieftain's Identity Ring could one qualify to subjugate the Goblin King.

That is an extremely vicious BOSS in the mid-tier Mystic Realm, and once killed, it would yield the 'Goblin King' series of equipment.

In this series, even the worst items are Orange Equipment, not to mention there's Epic Equipment beyond that!

Suggestions were skeptical about this item, Lin Da chuckled without explaining. When he would lead the team to subdue the Goblin King, he would broadcast the strategy live, teaching everyone how to defeat him.

As for now... he had his own private desires, let Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team have the honor of the first kill on a hidden magical creature.

The allure of Epic Equipment for adventurers was significant, and even a seasoned multiple-run player like Lin Da couldn't resist it.

Next, Lin Da pulled out his second pocket, stuffing the new Mountain of Gold Coins into it.

The system message informed that the Goblin Chieftain's death had yielded 17,560 Gold Coins, and a level 15 Demon Core.

The Demon Core was green, spherical, with a pockmarked surface, about the size of a bowl.

This was a core equivalent to a Secret Realm Guardian, much coveted by smiths and merchants alike.

While Lin Da and his team were collecting the spoils of war, the Dwarf Warriors began a rout against the remaining Goblins, and when the last Goblin died, the system message popped up:

[Dwarf Death Toll: 3]

[You have completed the commission of Dwarf Chief Kanto!]

"My goodness, you truly are a brave, powerful, benevolent, and passionate adventurer!" Kanto, along with all the Dwarves, bowed to the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team.

"Please, you must accept this gift."

The old chief respectfully took out a wooden box from his chest and handed it to Lin Da.

Lin Da already knew what was inside.

Orange jewelry that suited him perfectly.

He didn't display the jewelry, for Phoenix Tail Flower had already gained enough today; he feared any more, and some people might become envious and uneasy.

"Thank you for your gift," Lin Da responded to Kanto with gratitude.

After dealing with the Goblin Chieftain, the next subjugations became much simpler.

The third-layer's gatekeeping BOSS was the Rash Forest Python, a fifteen-meter long snake as thick as a bucket at its head.

Lin Da recommended to the average adventurers to challenge this layer at an average of level 8 and demonstrated how to slay the Python.

It was still that familiar Rusty One-Handed Sword, but this time Lin Da disguised himself as a level 8 warrior.

The One-Handed Sword scraped again and again, and after about ten minutes, the Python was covered in cuts and bled to death from excessive blood loss.

The death of the level 8 Python brought Lin Da 2,000 Experience Points and 2,000 Diamonds.

The clearance evaluation popped up in the void:
