"So, the adventurer group you were in before was just a regular Rock-level adventurer group? Isn't that just the lowest level?"
After listening to Linda's story, Kaphni curled her lip and said disdainfully.
Linda came to her senses and said helplessly, "In White Dove City, a Rock-level adventure team is already very strong. There are only about ten of them at most."
"Tch, I look down on all but mythical-level adventure teams."
"Someone like you wouldn't even be accepted as a Star Fury slave by a mythical-level adventurer group. There's only one mythical-level adventurer group in the entire Southern Fire Empire!"
"Star, Star Wrath? What do you take me for?"
Kaphni was furious. After standing up, she realized she was only wearing her underwear and awkwardly squatted back down in the bushes.
Linda coughed and waved the ice silk dress in her hand: "Now that we've finished explaining the types of secret realms, well... you hide it well, I'll be right back."
"Come back soon!"
Kaphni looked around nervously, afraid of being spotted by passersby.
...
"Sigh, I didn't expect it to only sell for 9 silver coins. It's because you smell so bad that the pawnshop owner didn't really want you."
The two walked towards the cheapest rental apartment in the mahjong district. On the way, Linda complained a little.
Kaphni, who was standing next to him, had changed into a different outfit, a brown linen dress that she had bought for 50 copper coins.
There were many loose threads on the top, and the texture was rough. Kaphni felt like her skin was being rubbed raw.
"You sold my things for 9 silver coins, but only spent 50 copper coins to buy me clothes?" Kafni frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "If this continues, I'll have to find another hero!"
"Whatever," Linda scoffed. If he could be replaced, this guy would have done it long ago.
Kaphni was speechless, seething with anger, but there was nothing she could do about Linda.
You can't beat them in a fight, and you might even get beaten up.
We have no choice but to endure this humiliation.
"If your clothes aren't good enough, then your place of residence should at least be more luxurious, right?"
Kaphni extended a slender, snow-white index finger and said with a smile, "A detached luxury villa, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"What are you thinking? There are only 9 silver coins in total!" Linda rubbed her temples in frustration.
As a silver-level magical city, White Dove City has a high cost of living, and renting a house requires a deposit of three months' rent and payment of one month's rent in advance.
Even in a poor place like the Sparrow District, the monthly rent is at least 3 silver coins, and you have to pay a 3-month deposit.
That means a total of 12 silver coins are needed.
The currency system of the Southern Fire Empire: 1 gold coin = 10 silver coins = 1000 copper coins.
The purchasing power of 1 gold coin is roughly equivalent to 1,000 yuan in China.
From this perspective, a monthly rent of 3 silver coins doesn't seem expensive.
The problem is that Linda, a veteran employee who has worked hard for the Snow Goose Adventure Team for three years, only has 9 silver coins to her name, which she earned by selling Kaphni.
Three months' deposit plus one month's rent in advance is completely insufficient!
"Why don't you go work as a prostitute at Bubble Paradise... uh, never mind."
Linda noticed Kaphni's dangerous, murderous expression and quickly stopped herself.
"But Bubble Paradise..."
"You want to be murdered by me while you're sleeping, right?"
"Cough cough cough, I was just saying, actually I have other ways."
Linda murmured, "We can only go to 'that place'. We're all acquaintances here, so paying a smaller deposit shouldn't be a problem."
...
The two walked on the streets of the Sparrow District.
The roads here are narrow and dirty, with low shacks on both sides, and cheap linen clothes drying on clothes racks.
At night, drunken adventurers are often seen on the streets, leading to countless fights and a very poor public order.
Thankfully it was dark and visibility was poor, so the drunks didn't discover that Kaphni was a beautiful bear girl.
I passed by an adventurers' guild, and the entrance was crowded with people, bustling and noisy.
Just like how people used to flock to watch football games in their past lives, the Adventurers' Guild always gathers a group of energetic young people who are full of interest in adventure.
Linda glanced in that direction.
The Ice Flower Adventure Team appeared on the crystal screen embedded in the outer wall of the Adventurers' Guild.
"Strategist's Live Stream?"
Linda stopped in her tracks, slightly surprised.
The so-called "strategist live stream" uses a magical creature called a ladybug to transmit the live progress of conquering the secret realm to a pre-set crystal screen, achieving a live broadcast-like effect.
Linda frowned. Back when they were in the Snow Goose Adventure Team, Lia had also considered starting a live stream of the Conqueror, but he had firmly refused.
The advantages and disadvantages of this approach are quite obvious.
The benefits are that the team's live stream can provide a lot of popularity to the adventurer guild that they are cooperating with, and the imperial government will also provide subsidies to the team. In addition, it can also showcase the team's strengths and increase its reputation.
However, this will also expose the team's tactics and weaknesses.
On this continent, the various adventure teams compete fiercely, and conflicts often break out in public Mythic+ dungeons.
They robbed equipment, world bosses, and all sorts of magical resources.
Once your weaknesses are exploited by the opponent, it's like fighting naked.
Generally speaking, unless the team is severely short of money, they will not choose to start a walkthrough; it is a very bad idea.
That Captain Isa was too impulsive.
She seems quite mature on the surface, but actually, like Leah, she's an impatient person?
Linda snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the image on the crystal screen.
The Ice Flower Adventure Team is currently exploring the twelfth floor and has been randomly assigned to the [Silent Cavern], a large, dark underground cavern.
Each level of the World Tree Secret Realm contains several maps, and adventurers enter one randomly.
