“This is also for ‘purification’.” Linda smiled, a faint emerald light emanating from her palm.
[System Notification: Witch Lulu's trust level has reached 70 points, indicating a deep bond. Reward: Magical Equipment Oath Ring!]
A vow ring?
Linda curiously opened her personal inventory and found a small silver ring.
【Name: Lulu's Vow Ring】
[Type: Equipment - Jewelry (Female Only)]
[Quality: A Pledge]
[Level: 0]
[Attribute: Strength +30%]
[Description: A ring that witnesses the signing of a vow. It can only be given to female team members. Team members who wear the ring will receive a permanent +100% mood boost in the Dormitory system.]
Hiss.
Linda gasped.
This vow ring is something else.
The attribute value is the most cost-effective, with the 'Strength +30%' being usable for a long time, and it can also improve the mood of teammates by 100%.
Linda glanced at Lulu's profile with a conflicted look. Perhaps it was the ale, but the orc girl's cheeks were slightly flushed. When she noticed him staring at her, Lulu pulled her hand back, holding the ale glass and tapping her fingers irregularly on the glass. She seemed quite agitated.
The favorability rating is still not high enough.
Giving a vow ring at this point might be misunderstood.
If Lulu thinks that he invited her to join the team because he was lusting after her body, that would be terrible.
Linda put the vow ring in storage, planning to give it to him on a formal day later.
A warm atmosphere permeated the rented room.
When summer cools down, the temperature inside the house is just right, and the dim, warm light creates a tranquil and reassuring atmosphere.
The whole scene is like a vivid old photograph, and everyone unknowingly becomes a part of it.
Enjoy the present moment while also basking in memories of the past.
Linda and Lulu spoke in hushed tones.
Monica leaned against him, her arms wrapped around his, and seemed a little sleepy.
Kaphni's alcohol tolerance has increased, and she and Ike, a complete novice, are now locked in a fierce battle.
The beer in both of their glasses was the lowest alcohol content, almost like soda.
"I...I...I like muscular people who make me feel safe!" Kaphni said, her words slurred and unclear after losing a game of rock-paper-scissors.
"Someone like Orlu? Shall I introduce you to someone?" Eiko said with a mischievous grin.
“That big guy…? That kind won’t do, it has to be…” Kaphni tried to think of an adjective, but it took her a long time to come up with one.
Which one?
"Hmm...probably, like Linda?" Kaphni blurted out. Linda can be quite a jerk sometimes, but sometimes, she's pretty cool.
Linda: "?"
Previously, when he had no other choice, he might have made do with Kaphni.
But now, with more and more beautiful female teammates around her, Kaphni can't even be ranked anymore.
As the saying goes, "being near the water tower makes it easy to get the moon first," and if Linda were willing to be a scumbag, he could probably easily get the body of any of the team members. But doing so would inevitably lead to the collapse of the team's relationship sooner or later, and his current goal is still to reach the top of the World Tree.
Looking at the old wall clock, it showed two in the morning.
It's already so late?
Linda frowned as she looked at the engrossed Kaphni and the enthusiastic Eiko.
He coughed and said, "If we keep drinking, it'll be dawn, and we need to take our guests home."
"Guests? Where are the guests?" A tipsy Eko peered around, almost standing up from her wheelchair to look for guests with Linda.
All four of them were looking at her.
ah.
The guest was actually myself?
Aiko sobered up halfway.
She pouted, seemingly reluctant to leave.
Even if he can't get to Linda, he should at least ask her when she's going to Phoenix Flower, right?
If Linda never asks, Aiko will be very sad.
Fortunately, Linda didn't disappoint her; she remembered.
"Aiko, will you... join our team?"
"Oh dear, actually Leah doesn't agree. The contract is too stressful; the penalty for breach of contract is one million gold coins."
"Oh, I'm sorry to have put you in a difficult position. Just pretend I never mentioned it, and please don't worry about it," Linda said apologetically.
A huge question mark appeared above Ike's head.
You're giving up already?
This shouldn't be! I'm a level 25 genius with the title 'Holy Mage'!
I'm a rich woman, I have money!
Aiko was so anxious she wanted to jump up and down!
The cricket has a million-dollar penalty for breach of contract. I can earn that together with you. I'll contribute gold coins, and you contribute 1 gold coin. That way, we can make up the penalty.
Aiko is now filled with regret, thinking she shouldn't have asked that question!
Now, if she wants to join the team again, she'll have to take the initiative to ask.
That's not the same as wagging your butt at a dog.
Requesting to join... I mean, requesting to be part of the team!
It's cheap, about the same quality as the toilet paper in the trash can!
Linda and her group escorted her to the door.
They didn't even use that old horse-drawn carriage to take her back to Xueyan's villa!
Ai Ke watched with a sigh as Linda and the others returned to their rented apartment.
The pretty girls around Linda are all quite good-looking.
If she gives it away for free, it would be a complete waste.
We must make Linda notice that she is a special person.
Aiko maneuvered her wheelchair back, pondering the matter the whole way.
When she passed by a bookstore, she bought a cooking instruction book.
As the old saying goes, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
Aiko's cooking skills are a bit lacking, but that doesn't mean they'll be that bad after she studies hard.
Her reading ability was more than a hundred times better than Bilia's.
