Linda re-entered the Hell Rift interface.

The three chibi-style characters progressed through the levels with incredible speed, reaching level 13 in no time, where they faced a level 13 Blade Mantis.

With Lulu and Monica as their two strong allies, low-ranking monsters are no match for them.

A bunch of system messages had accumulated. Linda clicked on "Get," and the reward resources were all put together and displayed in front of her.

[System Notification: Your team has cleared stages 2, 3...13, earning a total of diamonds!]

With so many diamonds, Linda became incredibly wealthy!

He went into the back house, killed the rats, and repaired all the windows and the leaky ceiling.

Wiping away non-existent sweat from her forehead, Linda put her hands on her hips, breathed a sigh of relief, and had the illusion that she had been busy all along.

The cabin was completely transformed, and Monica jumped for joy, her mood turning green by 20%.

Kaphni, who was sleeping on the ground, stood up in surprise, as if she couldn't believe that this was the house of the Phoenix Flower Adventure Team.

Kafni changed her sleeping spot and her mood improved from +30% to +40%.

Lulu stood by the repaired window, gazing at the scenery outside, blowing bubbles that were a bit bigger than before, her mood turning green by +10%.

Linda nodded in satisfaction. The mood of all three team members improved, and their daily diamond earnings increased from 90 to 170, a significant improvement.

[System notification: You have repaired the cabin. The furniture store is now open.]

The online store page displays a wide variety of furniture.

Linda bought three iron beds and a fireplace and placed them in the back of the house.

The number of diamonds you earn daily suddenly skyrocketed to 340!

With the remaining diamonds in hand, Linda went to the item section of the shop. The items here were the same as in the game, which could be used to add points to team members and improve their attributes.

[Small Strength Guidance Ticket]: 1000 Diamonds

[Magic Guidance Ticket (Small): 1000 Diamonds]

[Defense Guidance Ticket (Small): 1000 Diamonds]

[...]

[Potential Guidance Coupon (Small): Diamond]

Led by Lulu, the chibi-style team members from the Hell Rift ventured deep into level 27 and provided Linda with diamonds once again.

With a wave of his hand, he bought two potential guidance vouchers.

In the game, the first time you guide a character, you will receive a significant boost in effectiveness, making the expensive Potential Guidance Ticket the most suitable choice.

[Team member Lulu is asleep. Please select: Dream Guidance/Automatic Training]

Linda wondered to herself: What's the difference between the two?

[Dream guidance will enhance the team members' spiritual progress. During the guidance process, you will become the master, wielding the power to alter dreams and providing comprehensive guidance to the team members.]

Linda nodded in understanding, which meant that becoming a god in a dream meant being omnipotent.

"I understand, I'll choose the Dream Guidance!"

He silently recited it to himself.

Immediately, a wave of drowsiness washed over me.

Linda closed her eyes and entered a deep sleep.

...

Half an hour ago.

The moonlight, as white as snow, fell on a small rented room in White Dove City.

At 11 p.m., Lulu was still awake.

She stood on the third-floor balcony, holding a glass of cooled boiled water, her hands resting on the railing, staring blankly to the north.

Including today, it's been four days, and Linda, who went to Hongtao City, still hasn't returned.

The note he left said he would return in three days at most.

Did he encounter an accident, or did he know his identity had been exposed and, fearing to face her, run away?

Lulu was disappointed with either one.

Even if Linda's strength weakens, she still wants Linda to remain as cold and arrogant as before. Bringing that kind of captain to the ground is what she desires most.

The reality is,

Linda, the original captain of the adventure team who was known as the "Shadow of Darkness" and whose name struck fear into the hearts of adventure teams in the capital, has become a tiny person who is afraid to meet her and runs away with her tail between her legs.

The promise to return in three days on the note was just a pretense to buy time and keep her in White Dove City so she could escape.

Lulu's eyes were filled with coldness.

This cowardly captain doesn't deserve her respect!

She pulled the note out of her pocket, a note she had read countless times, and unconsciously squeezed it into crumpled pieces.

He deceived her again and again.

If she manages to catch Linda next time, she definitely won't hold back!

Back in her room, Lulu went to the only small bed and lay down on her side to fall asleep.

The witch's pollution often manifests in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, someone helped her cleanse herself, making it less unbearable than before.

Lulu's toes were taut, her brows furrowed in anguish as she clutched her chest, her whole body convulsing as if in a spasm. This continued for about half an hour before she finally drifted off to sleep, tormented by pain and exhaustion.

"stand up."

"It's not time to rest yet."

"Let me see... the first dream guidance project is 1000 push-ups?"

Lulu's animal ears were incredibly sensitive; she twitched them and heard someone speaking beside her.

A robber broke into the house?

She woke up instantly and jumped up on the spot.

It bared its teeth, extended its claws, and glared at its opponent with murderous intent.

The black-clad figure in front of her made Lulu stare blankly, and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart!

How could it be 'him'?

Lulu opened her eyes wide in horror, completely unable to tell whether she was in reality or a dream.

Appearing in front of her was a man wearing a black trench coat, carrying a long sword, and wearing a white faceless mask.

This person's aura was unfathomable. He seemed to be casually tapping something in the void with his finger, and his posture was loose and relaxed, but to Lulu, he felt like a mountain of swords, with violent and sharp fighting spirit everywhere.
