Lulu's combat power increased significantly in her witch form, allowing her to dodge Abner's attacks one after another.

The chibi-style figures flicker back and forth in the dojo, like an action blockbuster.

However, the White Dove Adventurer Group was too powerful and had too many members.

Lulu's profile picture didn't last long either, and it turned into a black and white image.

Linda shook her head and returned to the Free Challenge page.

The teams mentioned above are all Rock-level adventure teams. The current Phoenix Flower team is quite different from Rock-level teams. First of all, they are far too few in number.

Any Rock-level team has at least five members.

His Phoenix Tail Flower only has four members at most, including his summoned beast Kaphni.

Seeing the message "[Today's refresh count: 1]" at the bottom of the challenge page, Linda clicked on it.

I was lucky this time; the challenge page refreshed, and one of the challenges was set to 'easy'.

【Panda Adventure Team】

"This is it."

Linda clicked to confirm the challenge, and saw several adventurers dressed in identical panda team uniforms emerge from the teleportation array on the right side of the screen.

The young people at the head of the group were so captivated by the healthy physiques of the Phoenix Flower team members that they could hardly move.

He was blasted away by Monica's earth-shattering attack.

"So weak? I'm afraid the average level is less than 15, and it can't even withstand a single earth-shattering bombardment."

After defeating the Panda Adventure Team, a system notification popped up in front of Linda's eyes:

Challenge successful! Rewards: 10 Defense Guidance Tickets, 15 Strength Guidance Tickets, and 1 Bear-themed Water Bottle.

"The reward is pretty good."

Linda nodded, placed the bear-shaped water cup in the back house, and increased her basic diamond income by 100.

The challenge page has now turned gray and cannot be clicked further, indicating that there are only two challenge opportunities per day.

At the very bottom of the page, there is a very familiar adventure team.

[Snow Goose Adventure Team, Challenge Difficulty: Hard]

Linda stared blankly at the name of the adventure team.

The thought of challenging one's former team with one's current adventure team evokes a complex mix of emotions.

"After passing the fourth level of the secret realm, we will enter the fifth level of the public secret realm. In order to prevent Leah from causing trouble, it would be best to recruit some more team members to improve the strength of the Phoenix Tail Flower."

Linda muttered to herself, her mind flashing through images of four-star characters.

He had previously asked Lulu if she knew where the other original members were, and Lulu replied that she didn't know, only that she had happened to meet Monica.

Linda kicked out those four-star characters one by one, resulting in each of them leaving the team individually and having virtually no contact with each other.

Although Linda wanted to take them to the top floor, she was already overwhelmed with worry about how to find them and resolve the resentment these veteran team members held towards her.

...

Nanyan City, a large entertainment venue.

At night, colorful lights flashed wildly, strippers danced on stage, and music blared from magical devices, deafeningly loud.

The adventurers below the stage laughed and joked, waving the flower tickets they had bought with gold coins and throwing them onto the stage in large quantities.

The people here come from all races, but they are mostly men.

They returned from the secret realm of the World Tree, coming here to release their stress, indulging in beauty and alcohol...

All that could be seen around us was a scene of madness and depravity.

The nightclub owner will arrange for beautiful women to serve the adventurers; as long as you pay for the night, you'll be a VIP.

However, in this chaotic paradise of desire, there is a maid who doesn't fit in at all.

She didn't belong to this nightclub; she was a 'guest'.

She wasn't there to enjoy herself, but to 'find someone'.

"You're Linda?"

A voice, as calm and monotone as a machine, came from the maid's cherry-colored lips.

She had long, straight silver hair, healthy brown skin, and a slender figure. She was carrying a large black suitcase, from which one could smell a faint scent of magic stone gunpowder. Perhaps it contained a rare weapon: a magic cannon.

The magic cannon is more powerful than a bow and arrow and is the main weapon used by a rare profession. However, the people in the nightclub did not realize this. The strong scent of perfume and ale masked the smell of gunpowder from the magic stones in the box.

What drew more attention to the woman was her appearance: a cold and aloof beauty, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, with white stockings draped over her long legs, and an alluring lace ribbon extending from her long skirt to her waist.

The flawless white skin accentuated the allure of the woman's brown skin, giving her an exotic and mysterious look.

The woman's eyes were calm and indifferent. The surrounding revelry seemed like noise to her. Even when she saw several orcs joining forces to punish the golden-haired elf, she remained unmoved, showing no trace of the shyness or fear that a normal woman would have.

"What, Linda? What do you want with me?"

A tall man shouted impatiently and turned around.

The mysterious woman was immediately disappointed.

What she saw was an ugly pig-headed human face with a large black mole at the corner of its mouth.

The face beneath that 'master' mask must shine brighter than the stars in the sky; how could it be a disgusting pig's head?

A deep sense of disgust was undisguised on the mysterious woman's face, as if she had seen a pile of excrement covered with greenbottle flies, and was disgusted to the point of nausea by the pig-headed man.

She withdrew her gaze, picked up the large black suitcase in her hand, and walked out of the nightclub.

The last 'Linda' in Namyan City has failed to materialize again.

Six months have passed since the woman left the Crimson Adventurers' Guild, and she still hasn't found her 'master'. As agreed, she must return to Red Peach City to fulfill her duty as an adventurer to explore the secret realm.
