Aiko's face looked extremely pale.

She suppressed the urge to hurl insults and unleashed a light arrow with a casting speed far exceeding that of an ordinary mage, severing the roots of the giant carnivorous flower and allowing Leah to activate her skill [Charge].

"Well done, Ico!"

Leah charged towards the giant carnivorous flower, her greatsword 'Flame Devourer' glowing like a red-hot iron, and roared:

"Flaming Slash!"

The crimson sword light, from top to bottom, was like Moses parting the Red Sea, cleaving the giant carnivorous flower in two.

The monster let out a scream, its body swayed, and it fell to the ground with a thud.

"We won..."

Lia stared blankly at the monster's corpse, her face filled with disbelief.

Although she didn't escape unscathed from the battle, her arms and right leg were scratched and bled by the roots of the giant carnivorous flower.

But she won. Even without Linda, she still led the team to conquer the ninth floor.

This young lady is truly amazing!

Lia's mood instantly soared to unprecedented heights, as if she could already see the team reaching the summit of the World Tree.

The corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up, forming a smug smile.

However, in her excessive excitement, Leah overlooked one problem.

The Giant Carnivorous Flower, a plant-type boss, is severely countered by her fire-type attacks, so the difficulty level doesn't actually reach the standard of the ninth floor.

The boss of the other random dungeon on the ninth floor, the Lava Cave, is the Lava Giant, who has high fire resistance and is extremely difficult to defeat.

Leah had never imagined the consequences of the Snow Goose Adventure Team encountering the Lava Giant.

Seeing her proud expression, the veteran members of the team hesitated to speak.

Ai Ke sighed, keeping her lecturing thoughts to herself.

Leah will only understand when she suffers a loss.

At the same time, specks of light fell from the sky.

After defeating the giant carnivorous plant, just like getting equipment in a game, a reward from the World Tree Goddess will appear in the light spot.

Gold coins fell like rain, and the points of light varied in color.

The most common color is white, while slightly better ones include green (excellent quality) and blue (rare quality).

Leah was very lucky; she had a spot of light that emitted a beautiful purple glow.

She looked at them one by one.

"Level 23 main weapon, Vine Whip, no use for it, sell it."

"Level 20 armor, Sunflower Heart... The defense bonus is decent, I'll keep it."

"Level 15 purple rare jewelry, Angel Bracelet, isn't this the class equipment for a healer?"

Leah's eyes lit up. She turned around and instinctively reached out her hand, ready to give someone a high five.

Clearing the ninth floor of the World Tree was a milestone achievement, and the drop of a rare purple-quality equipment made Leah overly excited, unconsciously behaving as she always has.

After defeating the BOSS, we high-fived someone, and then everyone stacked their hands together, shouting happily.

Throw the equipment and gold dropped by the BOSS into the air and enjoy the feeling of a great harvest.

But after Lia awkwardly raised her hand to Eko and the others, she realized that the person seemed to have left the group.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.

Aiko and the other members didn't step forward to ease Lia's awkwardness. After all, no one knew what was going on in Lia's head, and it wouldn't be good if they just randomly went over to replace someone and upset her.

Therefore, no one moved, leaving Leah's right hand raised high in the air.

"snort."

Lia withdrew her hand and put it into the pocket of her skirt armor, her fingers fidgeting anxiously on the fabric inside.

The smile on his face gradually faded, turning into a cold, poker face.

"Haha, I didn't expect to take down the giant carnivorous plant so easily. Captain, it's all thanks to you."

Phyllis, the newly minted blond healer, walked up to Leah, smiling smugly.

"Where should we go for our celebration party tonight? How about the three-star Nikilin Restaurant on Elf Street? The food there is pretty good. It's on me tonight, let's all have a good meal!"

Phyllis tried his best to hide the covetous look in his eyes, and put on a handsome and generous expression as he invited the stunningly beautiful red-haired girl.

Phyllis graduated from the Noble Academy of White Dove City with an excellent grade of tenth in the healing class. In theory, she could have joined an adventure team of ten or higher, such as the Ice Flower Adventure Team.

But he chose the Snow Goose Adventure Team, which was located on the tenth floor or below.

There is only one image.

Captain Lia, who comes from a wealthy family and has an outstanding appearance.

Behind this young lady is a man nicknamed 'Bloody Baron,' who is said to be on track to level 40 and become the father of a Moon-rank adventurer.

Whoever marries Leah will have a meteoric rise in their career.

Phyllis smiled broadly, fully expecting Leah to accept the invitation.

Unexpectedly, Leah frowned in annoyance and said, "You guys go ahead, I'm not going."

"Huh? How can that be? You're the captain." Phyllis was starting to panic.

"I said I don't want to go, and that means I'm not going. If you want to go, you can go yourselves. I'm tired."

Leah snorted coldly, ignoring the dumbfounded Phyllis, and said to Eko, "You are in charge of cleaning up the spoils and distributing the rewards."

Aiko rolled her eyes.

Distributing compensation is a job that can offend people; it's impossible to distribute it perfectly evenly every time, and there will always be people who are secretly dissatisfied.

Previously, Linda was in charge of distributing the money, and everyone was satisfied because whenever there was a dispute over the distribution of benefits, Linda would take less of her share.

"This is such a headache. I wish that dog was still here."

Aiko muttered helplessly.

Among the loot dropped was an 'Angel Bracelet' for the Healer class. After a moment's thought, she asked Leah, "This piece of equipment..."
