Linda was woken up for the third time at seven o'clock in the morning.
Bang bang bang!
Bang!
The knocking on the door continued incessantly.
Linda sat up from the sofa with a dark expression. Who would bother her so early in the morning?
When he opened the door, the scene outside was completely unexpected: a dozen dark, magical microphones, like goblin swords, were aimed at him.
Reporters from various newspapers, their faces beaming with enthusiasm, eagerly bombarded the reporters with questions:
"Mr. Eye of Truth, what is your opinion on receiving the Honorary Adventurer's Badge?"
"What is your motivation for giving this guide away for free? Are you planning to become famous enough to start 'selling your product' and fleece adventurers?"
"Your skill in killing the Goblin Chieftain is undeniable, yet Xueyan's captain claimed you were too weak and that's why you were kicked out of the team. What's your explanation for this?"
Linda was immediately bombarded with questions from the group of reporters, which made her a little irritated. Behind her, Kaphni and Monica were also woken up, still sleepy-eyed and wearing their pajamas, and came out of the bedroom side by side.
Reporter Cammy's face flushed instantly, the kind of excited blush that comes from catching a breaking news story: "This...this is...a triple split? The captain of the Phoenix Tail Flower actually has this kind of interest?"
Click click click!
The magic camera kept pressing the shutter, snapping photos of the two team members who looked completely clueless.
The drool at the corner of Kaphni's mouth and Monica's half-exposed, delicate shoulder seemed to be evidence of last night's revelry.
Linda let out a frustrated roar, which finally calmed the reporters down a bit.
He took a sip of water to moisten his throat and clear his mind—it seemed the strategy guide had spread.
This is a good thing, as it can reduce casualties among adventurers. However, it's inevitable that he'll become a 'celebrity' as the leader of the Phoenix Flower team, which has both advantages and disadvantages...
The advantage was obvious: he gained fame, an intangible asset that brings convenience in many areas.
The downside is... he worries that those four-star or even five-star characters who are out there and harbor resentment towards him might recognize him and come knocking on his door.
Linda, facing the reporters' microphones with a sense of helplessness, racked her brains for a plausible explanation to avoid becoming a scapegoat like Gail.
He cleared his throat and said:
"The first question is about the Adventurer's Badge. As an adventurer who has only reached the third level, I am flattered. From now on, I will create guides with a more determined, steady, serious, honest, and self-reflective attitude."
"For this, I thank the adventurers, the White Dove City Hall for their recognition, and my team members for their help..."
"I also have to thank..."
"Thank you again..."
"To create a better strategy guide, I need to...%￥amp;￥%amp;%……amp;"
Blah blah blah.
Linda recited a standard civil service exam template, so boring it could lull a baby to sleep.
It's obvious that it lacks sincerity and sounds like a memorized, perfunctory statement.
But Linda ultimately overlooked one thing.
The 'nonsense culture' of this other world is far behind that of his previous life!
The reporters' expressions changed upon hearing this.
Not only must one be 'firm and steady,' but also 'conscientious and honest'?
Having created such an exquisite guide, Linda wasn't thinking about promoting her products or exploiting adventurers.
Instead, they should "reflect" on themselves and identify where they fell short.
The expression of gratitude also prioritizes the adventurers first, then the White Dove Town Hall, and finally the team members... This demonstrates both humility and respect for the team members!
No wonder the mayor awarded Linda the Glory Adventurer Badge; it was truly well-deserved!
The numerous reporters were all filled with awe and respect.
"Ahem, now for the last question." Linda hadn't realized what the problem was, only that the reporters' expressions were a bit strange.
He said, "Regarding my departure from Xueyan, it's just a normal withdrawal from the team, there's nothing more complicated than what you're all thinking."
Kami handed over the microphone: "What's the current relationship between the Phoenix and the Snow Goose? If you encounter a Snow Goose in a Greater Rift, will you steal their resources?"
Under the rules of the World Tree, the amount of resources each adventure team can harvest is fixed; if they want more, they can only steal from other adventure teams.
However, adventure teams from the same city are allies in Greater Rifts and will not attack each other unless the situation becomes extremely hostile.
In response to Kami's question, Linda replied, "I think... everything will be fine."
should?
Everyone sensed something unusual.
When the Greater Rift opens, perhaps even more exciting news will be unearthed.
...
It took Linda a full hour to see the group of reporters off.
Early in the morning, before doing anything, Linda felt a little weak, as if she had just finished conquering a secret realm.
Furthermore, both Kaphni and Monica seemed quite weak...
Linda sighed inwardly, knowing better but saying nothing.
"Captain, what is the Honor Adventurer's Badge?" Monica asked curiously.
Kaphni was also quite concerned: "Can we sell it for money?"
“White Dove City has only issued fewer than ten Adventurer Badges in total. How could something so precious be sold for money?” Linda said.
Those who hold the Adventurer's Badge will enjoy VIP treatment in the Adventurer's Guild, with dedicated staff to handle all matters and priority processing.
The most impressive thing is that you can obtain the title of Lord of Honor and become a lifelong noble!
The Glory Lord has no real power; its main function is to grant adventurers noble status.
No need to bow when meeting nobles below the rank of marquis, and can receive an imperial stipend of one hundred gold coins per month.
