As for the reason for the one-in-four chance, there is probably only one person on this continent who knows.
It refreshes every day at noon. There is a one in four chance that a pink heart will appear above each team member's head. Clicking on it at this time will increase their favorability.
A classic example of pandering to otaku.
Linda has complained about it many times.
A one in four chance is too low!
Later in the game, with so many team members, he would only look at the heads of the five-star team members to see if there were any hearts.
Whether you pet a four-star member or not, even if you max out their affection, they're still not as useful as a five-star member.
But three years later, Tasia still longs for Linda's "pat on the head".
From the moment the sun sets on the horizon until night falls and the stars fill the sky, Tasia remains standing by the window.
The magic clock ticked, and a wooden bird jumped out, yelling in a hoarse, unpleasant voice, "It's 10 o'clock! It's 10 o'clock! Time to sleep!"
Tasia's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a touch of humanity appeared in her empty eyes.
The Shadow of Darkness gave her three gifts: a small leather whip with the "Double Pain" effect, a magical clock that could keep time, and the high-quality maid outfit she was wearing.
No matter where she goes, Tasia always carries them with her.
'I didn't receive any orders from my master today either.'
Tasia sighed softly, her eyes growing weary with each passing day. Like a wind-up toy, without its owner to control it, her body and mind stagnated.
"If you feel tired, just stop thinking and follow my orders."
The shadowy figure was devoid of emotion, and the mage's mechanical, monotone pronunciation still echoed in Tasia's ears three years later.
She chose to trust the shadow of darkness.
Abandon thought and obey the commands of the shadowy figure completely.
But their last order was: You've been kicked out of the team.
The wind that night was much colder than usual. Tasia, who came from an assassin organization and had undergone rigorous training, felt pain for the first time.
It felt as if a small chisel had ripped open my chest, causing me to lose too much blood, making my body feel cold and my vision blurry.
Tasia would never accept that the shadow of darkness would abandon her.
This must be some kind of test.
Only maids who pass the test are qualified to stay by the side of the Dark Shadow!
Knock knock.
A knock came at the door.
Tasia's gaze gradually became focused.
The evening breeze was a bit chilly. She closed the window, silently looked at the clean and sleek chair in front of her desk, and said without turning her head, "Please come in."
The door was gently pushed open.
The visitor was none other than Da Vinci.
This proud swordswoman with a fiery red ponytail always seemed powerless when facing Tasia.
No matter how much Darwin did, this silver-haired woman who liked to wear maid outfits always looked outside.
Davin shook his head and said, "Once things are done here, I can take you to White Dove City and introduce you to Linda. But in return, I hope you can promise me two things."
"Two items?" Tasia frowned.
"First of all, if Linda isn't the person you're looking for, don't be discouraged."
"...good."
"The second item."
Davin's expression hardened, and he looked at Tasia seriously: "You can't be absent from the tenth level of the Great Mystic Realm next month."
"This time there's a troublesome monster. The Crimson Adventurers must defeat it, or at the very least, get a share of the spoils!"
"As a member of the Crimson Adventurers, it's time for you to contribute your strength."
Tasia nodded: "Okay."
The brief exchange came to an end.
Davin's body appeared somewhat hunched as he walked out of the room and slowly closed the door.
Through the gradually narrowing crack in the door, Davin could see the silver-haired woman still standing in front of the desk, waiting for someone to sit down.
Tasia's skills in making tea, cleaning, and cooking were probably all prepared for her 'master'.
The more Davin knew about these things, the more bitter he felt.
Hopefully, she can find her real "Linda" soon.
Davin sighed inwardly.
The next morning.
Davin drove the carriage, taking Tasia with him, and traveled to White Dove City under the stars and moon.
…
White Pigeon City.
The fifth level of the World Tree, the Great Mystic Realm: [Green Plains].
On the lush green plain, six streaks of blue light flashed.
"Fifth floor, finally back."
A figure emerged from the blue light first.
Linda looked up at the clear blue sky with mixed feelings.
The surrounding area is lush with green grass, filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, and butterflies flutter around you.
One of them landed on Linda's shoulder.
The butterfly's antennae brushed against Linda's cheek, making her feel ticklish.
When Linda turned her head to look, the butterfly lazily flapped its wings and flew away.
They're animals that have absolutely no sense of crisis.
The fifth level of the Great Mystery Realm is just like its name suggests: a vibrant and peaceful place.
This is the safest place among the first ten levels of the secret realm.
You can hardly see any monsters; there are only various magical materials and ores.
Every team that enters the fifth floor for the first time can earn their first pot of gold here.
Leah squatted down, fiddling with a small yellow flower, and said with emotion, "It's a sunflower, 15 gold coins a plant. I remember picking a lot of them and we went out for a big meal together."
This is a memory belonging to the Snow Goose Adventure Team.
The others felt a pang of jealousy, but couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Linda nodded, "Yes, the fifth level of the Great Secret Realm has been open for three days. Even if you're a little unlucky, you can still collect materials worth around 100 gold coins."
