The maid's dress had long been put away by Tasia, and in the dimly lit corridor, the maid's smooth brown skin looked even more alluring.
Long silver hair cascaded down her hips and onto her straight, powerful thighs. A white silk suspender connected to a garter belt at her waist, adorned with many openwork butterfly patterns, revealing her playful and adorable navel.
The blush on Tasia's face slowly faded, and she looked at the closed door with disappointment.
'Twice a day, is that really too tiring for the owner?'
"If it happens only once, the competition becomes very fierce."
Tasia was heavy-hearted.
If you don't get Linda's favor, you might not get a chance to get a spot even once a week.
I must become Linda's best teammate!
Tasia clenched her fists secretly.
Back in her room, Tasia didn't rest, but instead exercised on a black yoga mat. Besides caring for her master in daily life, this professional maid is also a powerful asset in adventures.
Having experienced the brutal elimination process of the original adventure team, Tasia deeply understands the importance of strength. Without strength, no matter how skilled one is at serving or cleaning, one will not gain Linda's favor.
Those three strongest members, whom Linda called "Five Stars," alone took up half of Linda's time. The amount of time they spent with Linda and the number of times she patted their heads were more than all the others combined.
Now, those three must be living somewhere on this continent.
To prevent Linda from being taken away by them again, Tasia trained even harder.
Until the little wooden bird jumped out of the house under the magic clock and yelled in its awful voice, "It's 3 o'clock, time to rest, time to rest!"
Tasia then went to the bathroom to take a shower, washing away the sweat, and crawled into bed.
Before going to sleep, Tasia thought to herself: I feel like Linda doesn't like women who sweat a lot. She was embarrassed when she was sweating profusely in the carriage. And when Linda caught her, it was the same; if she didn't sweat much, there wouldn't have been so many marks.
Is there any magic that can change one's constitution and reduce sweating...?
Tasia smiled, nestled her legs around the blanket, and drifted off to sleep peacefully.
...
On the other side.
Linda's room.
He leaned against the bed, staring intently into the void.
"Seven skill points or one gold skill point, which should I allocate to?"
After a moment's thought, Linda opened her personal panel, mentally controlled the 'mouse', and clicked the plus sign on the purple icon in the skill bar.
It was a picture of a mage extending his palm forward and launching a purple magic orb.
Venom Orb, Linda's strongest single-target skill.
In order to meet the conditions for defeating the hidden monster on the ninth floor, Linda temporarily abandoned the Azure Shield and first maxed out the Venom Orb skill.
He clicked like crazy.
System prompts kept popping up:
[Venom Orb has been upgraded: lv2 increased to lv3, poison damage duration increased by 1 second!]
[Venom Orb has been upgraded: lv3 increased to lv4, poison damage duration increased by 1 second!]
You have used a gold skill point.
[Venom Orb upgraded to level 5, poison damage stacks increased by 1, you will now launch two orbs simultaneously!]
When Linda saw the skill effect, she grinned and laughed.
The Venom Orb undergoes a qualitative change after upgrading from level 4 to level 5!
Originally, only one missile could be launched at a time, but now it can launch two.
The skill description has been changed to: [Shoots two venom orbs forward at a moderate speed, dealing high damage per second to those hit for 8 seconds, stacking up to 2 times.]
In other words, Linda's use of the Venom Orb will cause continuous damage to the monster for 16 seconds.
He can free up his hands to unleash other skills, greatly increasing his output efficiency.
Refilling the Venom Orb consumes 2 skill points and 1 gold skill point.
Next, he turned his attention to his ultimate move, [Guardian Sword].
To deal with high-level, ferocious monsters, the shield must be thick enough.
Linda clicked to add points.
[System Notification: 2 skill points consumed, Guardian Sword upgraded to level 2]
[Guardian Sword Lv2 Effect: Conjures a guardian sword with magic, attacking targets in a small area, dealing 'significant' damage, and granting a guardian shield to friendly units within the area (currently up to 3→4 people) equal to 50%→60% of your maximum health.]
The improvement is obvious.
Originally, the shield could only be applied to 3 people other than Linda, but now it can be applied to 4 people.
The shield thickness has also been increased from 50% of maximum health to 60%.
Linda happens to have four team members. With one move of the Guardian Sword, all of them can wear turtle shells.
In this way, Linda has 3 skill points left.
Linda is almost at level 30 and doesn't know what skills she will unlock, so she saves her skill points and will decide how to allocate them after reaching level 30.
While improving her own skills, Linda didn't forget her teammates.
He checked in at the back residence and received 2440 diamonds.
A lot of messages popped up from the Hell Rift.
After the Phoenix Tail Flower Squad's combat power was enhanced, the members displayed great prowess and made it deep into the 30th level in one fell swoop.
Linda received a reward of 80,000 diamonds.
With these diamonds, plus the accumulated balance, the total number of diamonds reached an astonishing level.
Let alone raising Lulu to the Star Rank, it would be more than enough to train Monica as well.
Before exiting the Hell Rift, Linda took one last look:
On the dark, circular arena, the 30th-tier boss is a brown terrain dragon that resembles a lizard, with spear-like horns on its head.
Terrain Dragon, Level 31, with thick skin and tough flesh.
All the team members were under 30 and were completely stunned by the terrain dragon.
It keeps getting a GAME OVER and then restarting.
Linda shook her head, exited the Hell Rift interface, and went to the system shop to exchange 600,000 diamonds for 600,000 [Experience Guidance Tickets].
"Select Lulu as a team member."
"Dream Instructions!"
Lin Daping lay on the bed, his consciousness drifting into sleep.
...
In a dream.
The werewolf girl ran carefree on the snowy mountain, climbed to the top, and howled loudly.
Lulu, who was about to break through to the Star Rank, couldn't help but feel happy.
As Linda grew closer to more and more girls, Lulu couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Before Tasia joined, she was the strongest member of the Phoenix Flower team.
But with the arrival of Tasia, the person Linda relied on became this maid.
Whether facing the Ghost Adventurers or guarding against the heavily injured and escaping Underworld, the Phoenix Tail Flower Squad needs to improve its combat strength.
When will I be able to advance to the Star Rank?
"The final small step takes some people only a week, but for others it takes half a year... Those with less talent might even get stuck at this stage."
A look of worry appeared on Lulu's face, and her fluffy tail drooped down.
She didn't know whether she had any talent or not.
Compared to Linda's 'five-star' team members, they are definitely worse.
Just as Lulu was feeling worried, the surrounding environment underwent a strange change.
The vast, snow-capped mountains under a clear blue sky have been transformed into a pitch-black rooftop of tall buildings.
"Lift your head up."
Cold, emotionless words drifted on the wind from ahead.
