After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Lin Da thought to himself that one day, the four-star Monica and Lulu would possess the strength of top-tier five-star characters.

He opened the Back House interface and clicked on the daily sign-in.

The original profit was 440 diamonds, but upgrading the small flat added a base profit of 1000, and with the team members' 120% mood boost...

[System Prompt: Sign-in successful, 2200 diamonds received!]

Lin Da's balance instantly increased from 4040 to 6240.

In the lower left corner of the Back House interface, an icon with blood-red flames of a black pit, the entrance to the Hell Rift, was flashing golden.

This indicated that there was a new change inside.

"When I came back from Red Heart City, the chibi adventure team reached the 27th level and couldn't move forward, blocked by four centaurs," he said.

"Did Monica and Kafni level up and conquer the 28th level?"

Lin Da, curious, clicked on the Hell Rift.

The World Tree was climbed upward, with fifty floors, while the chibi team went downward, the Hell Rift had a hundred floors. The deepest part corresponds to the 100th level mysterious BOSS.

In reality, this web event only lasted seven days. At that time, the highest level among players was around fifty. What lay in the deeper 100th level remained unknown.

As he entered the Hell Rift, the bright Back House interface became somber and dark, and the background music also carried a bizarre and unpredictable feeling.

Black circular stone platforms floated, surrounded by blue light orbs like soul fires, and piles of white bones on the ground outlined the horror of the Hell Rift.

"Frost Wolf's Bite!"

The skill text jumped out from chibi Lulu's head, and the light blue figure leaped up, landing on the face of a centaur clad in black armor.

Behind her, Kafni threw out Dagger Scatter, and Monica released Earth Bombardment.

The centaur neighed softly, slowly knelt on the ground, and turned to dust.

[System Prompt: Your team has conquered the 27th level and received 10000 diamonds!]

The previously insurmountable 27th level was finally conquered after Monica leveled up to 19 and Kafni to 16.

The magical creature on the 28th level was a giant caterpillar named Heart Eater Worm, shown on the screen as a huge lump, making Lulu and the others look like ants in comparison.

Facing this creature, the entire chibi team was eaten, and the team was stuck again.

"I'll check back later," Lin Da said.

Lin Da shook his head, closed the system, and got up from the bed.

Looking at the ancient magical clock on the wall, it was already past six in the evening.

The person who wanted to buy the Metal Destroyer Potion should be arriving soon?

At that moment, Lin Da did not know that just beyond the wall, outside the plain door, a group of adventurers had gathered while he was asleep.

These people did not rashly knock, all quietly waiting for the 'later' time Lin Da had mentioned.

There were about twenty purchasers, mostly members of Rock-level squads, the other half being adventurers from well-off families.

As the night fell, a girl with her red hair concealed under a hood, not wanting to be recognized, slowly approached.

"Huh... who is she?"

"Oh no, Snow Goose sent her. Do we still have a shot at competing for the last bottle?"

"Bursting Flames, Lia! Her Battle Qi aura seems to have deepened," they murmured.

The adventurers all turned their surprised gazes towards the hooded girl.

Possibly out of respect for her level, or perhaps considering her relationship with the Phoenix Tail Flower Team's captain, they instinctively made room for the girl to come to the front.

The girl took off her hood.

Gleaming red hair like flowing flames, her beautiful face bearing a trace of melancholy, she looked at the familiar door lock with dim eyes.

'This is the place we lived for a year,' she thought silently.

The door lock bore an old sword mark, made when she once lost her keys and chopped at it.

Lin Da reminded her the keys were not lost but hanging behind her belt...

Aside from Lin Da, Aiko and the others, everyone laughed out loud. Lia felt a bit embarrassed, vividly remembering the incident.

She touched her pocket.

The key, somehow, she had brought it along.

"Observer Gale has also come!"

A murmur rose from the crowd as Lia turned, and there he was, dressed in a flashy white tuxedo with golden hair combed back, it was Gale.

"Good evening, ladies," he said.

Gale bowed politely, his right hand producing many roses, which he handed out to the women present.

Given Gale's status as a Star-ranked adventurer, even those who didn't want them reluctantly accepted the roses,

When it was Lia's turn, Gale received a cold reply, "No need."

The rose was slapped away by Lia, fell to the ground, and was crushed underfoot, petals scattering.

Gale didn't get angry but touched his forehead helplessly, "Ah, truly worthy of being Thunder Swordmaster Dawen's sister, you have exactly the same temperament as he did when he was young."

...

In the rental house, Lulu, who had been sleeping on the sofa, woke up.

She had been awakened by the noise.

Outside, there were many disordered voices, each aura strong.

Among them, two auras of Battle Qi, one of ice and one of fire, even made her feel slightly threatened.

The most profound was a wind-based Magic Power, far surpassing everyone else, reaching the level of 30.

Lulu narrowed her eyes, her expression turning serious.

As a witch, she always had to be cautious of being hunted by the Holy Light Church. Could it be that her whereabouts had been leaked, and these people outside had come to deal with her?

Seeing Lin Da walk out of the bedroom, Lulu's heart unexplainably steadied, seeming not so nervous anymore.

She walked up to Lin Da, tiptoed, and whispered the situation into his ear.

"Being hunted? Many auras above level 20?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Da understood what was happening.

He chuckled, "You've misunderstood, these are adventurers here to buy Magic Potions."

Thinking it over, it would be inconvenient for Lulu to appear, in case someone recognized her and it caused issues.

Lin Da had Lulu hide and then woke up Kafni and Monica to greet the guests outside.

Opening the door, Lin Da was taken aback by the nearly thirty people crowded in the narrow corridor,

The number of people was far more than he had anticipated!

It's worth mentioning that the moment Lin Da opened the door, a red-haired girl reflexively hid, pulled her hood tight, and blended into the crowd.

It was unclear whether she didn't want to see Lin Da or wasn't mentally prepared.

The first thing Lin Da noticed was the conspicuous pack from Gale.

Gale knelt on one knee, holding a silver-haired girl's pristine hand, planning to kiss her hand back deeply.

The identity of the silver-haired girl was naturally Captain Isa of the Ice Flower Adventure Team.

Isa, greatly troubled, furrowed her brows and pushed Gale away, appearing ungallant. A kiss on the hand was a normal greeting.

But Gale was notoriously flirtatious, and being honored with such a greeting by Gale was not something to be pleased about. Almost any adventurer of similar attractiveness would receive a kiss from him.

This dilemma of whether to push Gale away dissipated the moment the rental's door opened, revealing Lin Da's handsome face.

Isa hastily withdrew her hand.

Gale, kissing the air, nearly fell flat on his face.

"Ah, still can't compete with the Ultimate Pervert," Gale sighed deeply, enviously looking at Lin Da, who was somewhat surprised.

...

'—Lin Da giving the first chance to kill a Magical Creature to the captain must mean he has feelings for her.'

Isa's heart raced as her teammates teased her in her ear.

In adventures, Isa was an experienced professional, but when it came to love, she was clueless, unsure how to approach Lin Da.

"Thank you for giving the opportunity to the Ice Flower Adventure Team."

After she spoke, Isa slightly regretted it, as her tone was too polite, almost like a formality. Yet she truly didn't know how else to face Lin Da; she certainly couldn't just bend over and present herself like her teammates suggested...

"Mutual help, those were Captain Isa's own words, weren't they?"

Lin Da smiled, stepped aside from the doorway, and made a gesture inviting everyone in: "It's a bit small inside, I hope you all won't mind."

At a glance, many adventurers present were from Rock-level Squads:

Earth Wolf Adventure Team,

Valiant Adventure Team,

Sword Light Adventure Team,

And even... a Star-ranked adventurer from the White Dove Adventure Group.
