When Lulu decides to leave White Dove City, she definitely won't let him and Kaphni off the hook.
Before that day arrived, Lindard raised the trust level to over 30 points.
On the way back, they encountered some other adventurers who had also returned from the wilderness.
Everyone had been fighting monsters all day, and they were all covered in dust, their boots caked with dirt.
Many adventurers carry oversized backpacks filled with valuable parts of monster corpses.
Although the most valuable item is the magic core, and everything else is just a pittance, low-level adventurers still have to cut off those items and bring them back to White Dove Market to sell in order to make a living.
Linda and Kaphni's trip yielded dozens of magic cores, something adventurers of the same level wouldn't even dare to dream of.
"It's Mr. 'Eye of Wisdom'!"
Are you here to slay monsters too?
"I heard you're starting a new adventure team, can I join?"
Many adventurers greeted Linda, and she responded with a smile.
Some people wanted to join his team, but he politely declined because he felt their skills were rather average.
[System Notification: Witch Lulu's trust in you has increased by 3. Current trust level: -6, slight aversion]
Huh, it's increased?
Linda looked at the short-haired girl who seemed indifferent to her surroundings with some surprise when she saw the notification that suddenly popped up.
He thought it was probably the adventurers' warm attitude towards him that made Lulu think she was a good person.
Just then.
The adventurers who had gone some distance whispered among themselves:
"The White Dove Morning Post said he had become the 'ultimate pervert,' which I didn't quite believe at first, but now I do."
"Yeah, all the beautiful girls in the city are flocking to him. That orc will probably be tricked into going back and being violated too!"
"Sigh, first the three from the Snow Goose Adventure Team, then the two beside him. He truly deserves to be called the ultimate pervert; he never repeats the same woman when he's playing with her."
Yesterday, the news of Linda hugging Eiko at the Adventurers' Guild in the inner city had already spread throughout the city.
Snow Goose's captain, Lia, was portrayed by unscrupulous reporters as having seemingly "driven her own death" after discovering that her teammate, Eiko, was cheating on her with Linda. Not only that, the underage Chrona may also fall victim to this, as Linda has now set her sights on her new target, Isha, intending to turn her into her own Star Fury.
Overnight, Linda's title of "Eye of Wisdom" was replaced by "Ultimate Pervert".
[System Notification: Witch Lulu's trust in you has decreased by 15, current trust level is -21, she is now disliked.]
Linda was speechless.
What ultimate pervert? Those are all fake!
Lulu's temperature seemed to be dropping lower and lower, and the distance between them inadvertently increased by half a meter.
“That’s not how it is,” Linda said.
“No need to explain.” Lulu frowned. “When I caught up with you, you and that blonde were planning to do that kind of thing, weren’t you? So you’re the ultimate pervert, no wonder.”
"Actually, that matter can also be explained."
"No need."
"..."
Linda looked at the trust level, which had dropped a little more, and felt a bit worried.
He decided to change the subject away from the ultimate pervert. He also had something he wanted to get an answer from Lulu about.
"Could you tell me about your captain? I think I look quite a bit like him?"
Linda coughed and said.
He wanted to know how his game character was perceived by his teammates.
"Captain?" Lulu raised her head slightly, drawn in by the topic.
Linda pressed her advantage, feigning interest: "Yes. You seem to dislike him a lot. What did he do?"
"Oh."
Lulu gave a mocking laugh, it was unclear whether it was directed at the captain or at herself.
Seeing that she couldn't get an answer, Linda changed her approach: "What kind of person is your captain? He must be proud to have such a great teammate like you."
He deliberately said the opposite of what he meant to provoke the other party into revealing the truth.
In the game's backstory, she is a rather impulsive orc girl.
Because he defied a nobleman to protect his friend, he was captured and sold into slavery. The player, playing the protagonist, happily pulled out fifty gold coins to buy him.
"Feel proud? Hmph... That kind of person? In his eyes, all the team members are just tools."
Lulu's voice revealed a deep sense of resentment.
"Huh? Isn't your captain a very good person?" Linda feigned surprise.
Lulu scoffed, "He's just a weirdo who's like a magical machine, he has no humanity whatsoever!"
"Everyone has their quirks, right?"
Linda looked at the girl with a faint expression of doubt.
"He's different!"
Lulu recalled the past and angrily kicked a stone on the ground, sending it flying hundreds of meters away, landing on a small hill and kicking up a lot of dust.
Linda wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
After calming down for a while, Lulu finally spoke: "That person can no longer be described as just strange; he should be called 'eccentric'!"
"I don't think it's as strange as my old captain."
"Heh, no matter how strange the old captain you're talking about is, compared to that person, everyone else is a normal person."
Lulu was quite provoked by Linda, and finally opened up, frowning and saying angrily:
"He's like a magic machine, treating his teammates like disposable tools. I've never seen him eat, and he never even sits down; he's always standing!"
Can't you sit down?
Linda scratched his head. It wasn't his fault; the chairs in the game "Secret Realm Continent" didn't have a sitting function...
"But the strangest thing is when he's sleeping!"
"That guy is a heavy sleeper; he doesn't react at all even when you hit him."
"Everyone jokingly said that the captain was invincible when he was sleeping, and even the mage in the team couldn't hurt him when he attacked him with fireballs."
Lulu said with a mix of resentment and amusement, and when she mentioned using Fireball to blow up the captain, the frost on her little face melted a little.
Linda thought to herself: Once a character logs off, they are invincible. Not to mention using Fireball, even forbidden spells like Meteor Spell won't harm the logged-off character in the slightest.
Through their conversation, he learned quite a bit from Lulu's words. The experiences of the game character he controlled in the game were all distorted into reality; even meaningless actions like his character spinning in place did indeed occur.
In the eyes of his teammates, his character was like a robot. He didn't eat, couldn't sit down, and was like a dead person when he 'slept'. He was also incapable of fighting and was a real weirdo.
It's worth mentioning that "Secret Realm" is a wholesome game for teenagers. The affection system in it is more accurately described as a bond system, and there are no fanservice scenes.
Three years ago, Linda transmigrated into her own game character, but why she became a level 0 healer and appeared in White Dove City, the starting map for beginners, is currently incomprehensible.
