The two chatted idly at the door for about three minutes, but the door remained closed.
Is Isa really still not awake? Fanice blinked suspiciously. Isa was clearly awake when she came upstairs just now.
Unbeknownst to Fanis, Isa, in the bathroom, covered her mouth in disbelief upon hearing Linda's answer, gripping the edge of the sink tightly with her hand.
Linda said that having a girlfriend like her is a stroke of incredible luck, and everyone would envy her...
Isa wiped her eyes and couldn't help but smile.
But Linda made him laugh in exasperation!
Having said all that, wouldn't that make her unwilling to give up?
I still feel there's some hope.
Like Linda, Isabella is a steady person who doesn't like to gamble on low odds.
This glimmer of hope only made Isha suffer more as she hesitated and struggled.
But now...Isa has abandoned her plans to give up.
She decided to observe for a while longer.
Hopefully, Linda won't reveal any flaws and will remain devoted to Lulu, so that Lulu will accept their 'correct' relationship.
As long as Linda truly loves Lulu, Isa would never be so shameless as to interfere in their relationship.
She would silently depart, carrying with her budding, yet unknown, love.
In a sense, Isa is the ultimate warrior of pure love.
Only one-on-one matches are accepted.
She does not accept one-to-many relationships, nor will she shamelessly be one of the 'many'.
Two more minutes passed.
The door opened.
"Isa, are you alright?"
Linda looked concerned.
The silver-haired girl in front of him looked tired, and her originally smooth silver hair looked a bit frizzy, with one sticking up here and another sticking up there.
The blue house dress had many pleats, which was completely different from the polite and elegant frost swordsman that Linda remembered.
"I drank too much yesterday, Captain Linda, please excuse the mess." Isa pursed her lips awkwardly, stepped aside, and invited Linda in: "The room is a bit messy, please don't mind."
Linda frowned. "Why do you call me Captain Linda?"
“Because…you’re the captain of the Phoenix Flower.” Isa’s eyes were slightly flustered. She was intentionally distancing herself from Linda, hoping to become just a casual acquaintance.
Fanice, quick-witted as ever, immediately guessed Isaac's thoughts. Fanice gaped in surprise, her eyes filled with anger and disappointment at her captain.
How will you know you'll fail if you don't try?
If the Ice Flower and the Phoenix Flower could be "married," everyone could get Linda's guide for free!
With her excellent command and Linda's strategy, not to mention the Iron-class adventure team, even the Rising Sun-class team has a chance.
That's why Fanice was angry.
Our captain is usually decisive and efficient, but he's incredibly weak when it comes to this kind of thing.
"Hehe, in my opinion, Linda should call you 'Miss Isa'!" Fanis said sarcastically.
"Uh..." Isabella felt a little uncomfortable.
"Just call me Linda, like before." Linda smiled. "I got a severe scolding when I called you Miss Isaac before."
“Well, okay then.” Isa nodded, feeling somewhat defeated. She should have severed ties with Linda right here, but she couldn’t bring herself to take that step.
The three entered the room and sat down at the round table.
"Linda, what brings you here?" Isa picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of black tea, and tried to hide the nervousness on her face.
"Here's the thing, I want to hire you. The price is 200,000 gold, plus a guaranteed level 20 orange-tier item."
Linda got straight to the point.
"Hire?"
Isabella's expression turned serious.
It's as if she has a switch inside her that allows her to perfectly separate her private and public affairs.
When Linda brought up business between the adventure teams, Isa, who was usually calm and composed, returned to her usual self.
“The price is good, but I need to know the details.” Isa’s eyes gleamed with confidence: “Hiring Captain Ice Flower isn’t cheap, and based on your requirements, these conditions might not be enough.”
"I see."
Linda said solemnly, "But the orange gear I give you will definitely have the best stats among its peers. If an epic weapon drops, the initial 200,000 gold can be increased to 400,000."
"An epic weapon?"
Both Isa and Fanis's expressions changed.
For every adventurer, an epic weapon is the 'dream weapon'.
Pure support classes are still lacking, but for damage-dealing classes... nobody doesn't want an epic weapon.
When a weapon reaches epic quality, its attributes will become extremely powerful, and some may even come with skills.
If there's anything that can bridge the gap between levels and skills, it's definitely epic weapons.
Isa was puzzled: "To get an epic weapon, you need at least an orange-rare hidden monster, right? You're currently on the eighth floor. I can't get to the ninth floor."
Fanis nodded, "The Ice Flower Adventure Team has already reached the thirteenth floor."
“Yes, you can’t enter the ninth floor.” Linda smiled. “But the fifth floor is a public secret realm that all adventurers can enter repeatedly.”
"The epic-level monster you mentioned, is it on the fifth floor?"
Isa was even more puzzled: "Everyone has almost cleared out the fifth floor of the Green Plains, how could there be an epic-level monster?"
“Theoretically, yes,” Linda said. “But I have the ‘key’ to unlock the hidden area.”
Using the Goblin Ring, you can travel to the Goblin Prince's lair at specific times and locations.
"I believe you're not lying, but we don't have enough people to fight an epic-level monster, do we?" Isa pondered. "Your team has four people, and with me, that's only five. Is the damage output enough to fight an epic-level monster?"
“I was just about to invite the sixth person,” Linda said, rubbing her chin. “If you think the reward isn’t enough, I can give you another technique.”
"Skill?"
Have you ever heard of a fusion ultimate technique?
Isa and Fanis looked at each other in bewilderment.
Fusion ultimate techniques—that's something you only see in books.
Not only are there requirements for the type of special moves, but the compatibility between the two players also matters. If their compatibility is not good, even if the special moves meet the requirements, they cannot be combined.
Linda said confidently, "Besides the reward of gold coins and equipment, I can guarantee that I will teach you a fusion ultimate skill. With that, we should be able to persuade you, Captain Ice Flower, to join us, right?"
"I..." Isa opened her mouth to agree, after all, the value of fusing ultimate skills is extremely high, which can effectively enhance the combat power of the adventure team.
In comparison, gold coins and equipment are secondary.
But Fanice stopped her; the ice flower's conductor, her eyes gleaming with a cunning light, said...
"Linda, it's not that I don't believe you, but how can you be so sure that Isa can learn the Fusion Ultimate Technique? What kind of 'fusion' is that? If it's something too rare, like the fusion of ice and darkness, we don't want it. In White Dove City, only the Ghosts have the dark element."
