— Joining Linda's team is certainly an option.
Aiko felt no sense of belonging to the Snow Goose Adventure Team at all.
That's what she was thinking, but on her face she put on a pained expression, deliberately making Linda feel guilty about her impetuous invitation.
Each team member is bound by a contract, and leaving the team without authorization will result in a hefty penalty for breach of contract.
This was no problem for Ike.
She has quite a lot of gold coins in her little savings account.
She could agree to Linda's request and join the team.
However, one should never join casually.
A room that a boy can enter with just one gold coin is definitely not as precious as a room that requires countless hours of hard work and a large number of gold coins to enter, right?
Eko wanted Linda to ask Leah for help, but Leah refused to sign the transfer contract, leaving Eko humiliated and feeling that she could never get her back. So, she paid a huge price and quietly came to Linda's side.
Then Linda will realize just how outstanding she is.
She lowered her head, looking quite dejected: "I'm sorry, I need to think carefully about joining your team."
"Well, there's no rush. After all, the team's formation is still far from being finalized."
Linda said helplessly, "We haven't even recruited any front-line soldiers yet."
Ai Ke was puzzled: "With the reputation you've built in the Snow Goose Adventure Team, recruiting a warrior shouldn't be difficult, right?"
“That’s how it is in theory.” Linda took a big gulp of ale, shook her head, and said, “I’ve changed my class, and the team’s current progress is at level 0.”
The subtext of changing one's profession is that one's level also reverts to 0. He doesn't need to hide this; if Aiko wanted to, she could easily find out by asking around at the Adventurers' Guild.
“Changing your class after level 10 is very risky. How could you be so reckless without even discussing it with me!” Ai Ke said, her eyes reddening slightly. “You really don’t consider me a friend.”
"Don't cry." Linda awkwardly handed over a tissue. How come she never noticed before that Aiko was so gentle?
After the other party arrived, he kept a close watch on them, trying to find something unusual.
However, it cannot be detected at all.
Even if Aiko's genuine affection for him was motivated by ulterior motives, it was probably not entirely an act.
Although he could sometimes sense the arrogance and hint of a spoiled young lady that Eko inadvertently revealed, among Xueyan's five, he believed that his relationship with Eko was at least fourth, far above that of Vilia...
Ai Ke took the tissue and wiped her eyes: "What profession did you change to? You wouldn't hide even this from me, would you?"
Linda hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a healing spell."
"A Restoration Warlock? Never heard of that class before. Is it powerful?"
Aiko blinked in confusion.
But deep down, she was overjoyed.
This kind of job that I've never even heard of must be terrible.
Linda thought for a moment and said, "Probably a bit stronger than a healer. The advantage of a healing mage lies in their poison-based healing abilities, which gives them a fighting chance against monsters."
"Oh, it's similar to a poison sorcerer."
Aiko was certain in her heart.
Poison sorcerers are stronger than healers, but only by a very limited margin.
It sounds like this Restoration Warlock is a healer and DPS class, excelling in both areas.
However, it is a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.
This was Echo's first impression of the Restoration Warlock.
"You must be having a hard time hiring, right? Do you want me to help you find out?"
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Seeing the sincere expression on Linda's face, Ai Ke smiled and agreed on the surface, but inwardly she snorted disdainfully and spat.
Help you recruit people? You're not serious, are you?!
I'd love for you to never be able to recruit anyone, so you'll come kneeling and begging me to join you!
Ai Ke's various indirect inquiries, seemingly out of concern for Linda, actually brought her secret joy with each new piece of information about Linda's predicament.
The worse off Linda was, the happier she was.
The two chatted for a while longer before Ai Ke prepared to leave, not wanting to give Linda the impression that she could come at her beck and call.
Before leaving, she took out ten gold coins from her bag and gave them to Linda.
Creating a team costs 100 gold. Even if Linda gets incredibly lucky and recruits new members, she still won't have enough money to create a team.
I had no choice but to beg her.
Ai Ke was making plans in her mind.
"Linda, remember to come to me if you have any difficulties. Even though we're not teammates anymore, we're still friends."
At the entrance of the Tyrannosaurus Rex BBQ restaurant, Ai Ke, sitting in a wheelchair, waved goodbye with reluctance.
Linda saw him off at the door, holding a small bag of gold coins that exuded warmth in her hand, and couldn't help but sigh: Eko is indeed much stronger than Lia.
Behind him, envious and jealous glances were cast his way, and some adventurers, drunk, burst into tears from the sourness.
"I also want a beautiful girl to visit me, and give me some gold coins too!"
"Ten gold coins! I risked my life in the secret realm today and only earned three!"
"This guy seems to have changed his class and is now level 0. Should we beat him up?"
The last sentence was spoken by a skinny adventurer with a mohawk, who chuckled as he spoke.
Unexpectedly, no sooner had Mohican finished speaking than a beam of light shot in from outside, grazing his scalp and leaving a small dent in the wall.
Mohawk touched the patch of hair missing from his head and turned pale.
Just a little bit lower, and there would be another bloody hole in his head!
Everyone was so frightened by this scene that they fell silent and kept their mouths shut.
At the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, Ai Ke smiled and waved her delicate white magic wand, saying, "If anyone bullies Linda, don't blame me for bullying him, okay? Also, my level isn't the rumored 23; I just luckily reached level 24 yesterday."
Level 24, he is definitely a top figure in White Dove City.
A chill ran down the spines of the adventurers, who chuckled dryly:
"Who would be so foolish as to mess with Linda? We're lucky he's not bullying us, hahaha..."
"That's right, that's right."
"A level 24 beauty came to the Mahjong area to visit her teammates? I'm about to turn into a monster 'sour lemon'!"
Linda watched the group's awkward performance and chuckled, "Aiko, stop bullying level 5 or 6 adventurers. People will laugh at you if word gets out."
"Who told them to say they were going to beat up my old teammates?" Ai Ke puffed out her cheeks angrily, her adorable, cute expression instantly stunning the adventurers peeking in the shop. They seemed to collectively transform into lemon-scented monsters, spraying sour juice everywhere.
"I'm leaving now," Aiko waved her little hand.
“Be careful on your way back, although I think others should be careful of you…” Linda joked.
A level 24 high-level light mage from the Church of Holy Light would be worthy of awe anywhere in White Dove City.
Linda turned around and went back to the Tyrannosaurus Rex BBQ restaurant.
Unexpectedly, no sooner had Aiko left than the drunken mohawk-wearing man, fueled by his intoxication, clenched his fists, ready to stand up, and said with a look of displeasure, "You brat, how dare you embarrass me..."
"sit down."
Linda placed her hand on Mohican's shoulder.
The latter obediently sat down.
He didn't stand up until Linda brushed past him.
