The other adventurers at the table, who had been watching the commotion, asked curiously, "What's wrong? Weren't you going to teach that 'Eye of Wisdom' a lesson?"
“It’s huge.” The mohawk’s voice trembled.
"What's big?"
His companions were even more puzzled.
"His strength... is fucking incredible!"
Mohican's eyes widened, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I'm a level 4 warrior, you know. It's true that I've been drinking and my strength has decreased a lot, but I shouldn't have been forced back into my seat by a level 0 healing class, right?"
Upon hearing the reason, everyone was stunned, looking in surprise at Linda at the innermost table. A level 0 healer was stronger than a level 4 warrior? What kind of top-tier class was that?
Mohawk shook his head, holding a large wine glass, and chuckled obsequiously as he approached Linda's table.
"I overheard your conversation with that lady. You created a team and it seems you're recruiting, right? What do you think of me?"
Their attitude was much better than before, and their tone was quite respectful.
Linda glanced at the latter and shook her head.
"No, you're too weak."
The reason was simple and direct, leaving the Mohican dejected.
Linda is indeed short-staffed, but it can't just take any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
He plans to recruit partners with the potential to climb to the top of the World Tree together.
Linda was polite on the surface, but in reality, she was more proud than anyone else.
After chasing away the mohawk, he and Kaphni devoured the roast meat on the table in a flash.
At 10 p.m., the two came out of the store.
I stopped by the equipment shop on the way and spent 3 gold coins to buy a level 0 longsword and a short knife.
As for why this 'restoration warlock' uses a longsword instead of a staff, the reason is quite simple.
In the early game, healer classes lack offensive skills, and the damage dealt by using a staff for basic attacks is far less than that of using a longsword.
'Slimes, goblins, and little lava monsters, you're all waiting to be turned into experience points for this hero!'
Linda stroked her round belly and swayed back to the rented room with Kaphni.
After a night of rest and recuperation, he'll go out into the wild to farm slimes tomorrow and level up.
This feeling, akin to starting a new character in a game, excited Linda.
After three years in the mysterious continent, his journey in another world is finally about to begin.
...
Late at night, at the Snow Goose Adventure Team's villa.
Ike has just returned from the Mahjong area.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a red-haired girl drinking coffee with a serious expression in the brightly lit living room.
Holding a thick book, he scratched his head, stomped his feet, and stared with eyes as wide as saucers.
This guy, could he not even recognize all the characters?
A fleeting look of disdain crossed Ai Ke's eyes.
"Where did you go?" Leah threw her book aside, looked up, saw the lunchbox that Eko was holding, frowned, and asked in an unfriendly tone.
Ai Ke intended to brush it off.
But seeing the other person's disgusting appearance, she snorted inwardly, smiled, and said calmly, "I'm going to visit Linda."
The coffee that Leah had brought to her lips sprayed out.
"You... never mind, it's none of my business, go if you want."
Leah, looking completely unconcerned, picked up the book again and continued flipping through it.
Don't you want to know what happened?
Ai Ke raised an eyebrow: "Don't you want to know what Linda's situation is like after she left the team?"
"I don't..."
"Go ahead and tell me."
Lia was about to deny it, but then she changed her mind and said coldly, "Don't misunderstand. 'Know yourself and know your enemy and you will win every battle.' Linda is now the enemy of the Snow Goose Adventure Team. As the captain, it is necessary for me to know the enemy's information."
With your brain, you actually quote famous sayings?
When Linda was in the team, she often talked about knowing yourself and your enemy. However, that referred to monsters. In Lia's words, Linda became the 'monster' instead.
That's kind of funny.
Ai Ke gave a sarcastic snort in her heart.
She didn't rush to answer Leah, she just kept her hanging on.
Ai Ke went to the other side of the table, put down the lunchbox, opened it, and scooped some mushroom soup into her mouth with a spoon.
It's too salty; you put in too much salt.
Aiko's face turned bitter.
"Hey, why did you stop talking? Linda, are you having second thoughts?"
Lia couldn't hold back any longer and asked anxiously.
She looked really clownish. Aiko covered her mouth and chuckled.
With her head down, Ai Ke coughed once after she had finished laughing and then recounted what had happened at the Tyrannosaurus Rex BBQ restaurant.
After hearing this, Lia showed a hint of disapproval on her face.
"The poor man's barbecue at the roadside stall? That's what they eat?"
On the table were lunch boxes delivered by a high-end restaurant.
Any dish there costs ten times more than what Linda would spend on a meal at a barbecue restaurant.
One bite of caviar costs one gold coin.
The wealth gap is obvious.
She also heard from Aiko that Linda had been downgraded to level 0 and changed to a profession she had never heard of before.
"No wonder I felt his aura had weakened. He dared to quit the team at level 0. He's really arrogant."
"Hanging out with women in taverns and eating low-class barbecue in the mahjong parlor, huh, Linda has really fallen from grace."
Leah seemed to have regained her confidence.
She is a genius swordsman in the Snow Goose Adventure Team.
Even without a healer, they can still lead the team to become the strongest adventure team in White Dove City.
That means she will crush Linda's team under her feet.
“It’s decided,” Lia said to Eko. “We will reach level 15 within three months and become an ‘Iron-class’ adventure team.”
Once you reach the 15th floor, you can be called the Steel Adventure Team and get more privileges from the Adventurers' Guild.
