Should I join the Ice Flower Adventure Team?
Linda fell into thought.
Objectively speaking, the captain of the Ice Flower team was enthusiastic, highly skilled, and led the team to clear the eleventh floor.
Linda met the Ice Flower team members a few times during the strategist's press conference and could feel that their adventure team had a great atmosphere.
Compared to the Snow Goose Adventure Team, they are worlds apart.
only.
Linda brought up her personal panel.
In addition to the basic information, there is an option on the left called "Squad Module".
Clicking will bring up a prompt: To unlock this template, you need to create your own squad.
In the game's secret realm continent, the team module can provide many attribute bonuses; without this module, the system's functionality is incomplete.
Moreover... Linda gazed at the towering, verdant trees in the distance.
Those who reach the top of the World Tree will receive the strongest weapon, the Hero's Sword, and the opportunity to make a wish to the World Tree Goddess.
The person who obtains the Hero's Sword is the captain, and the person who gets the chance to make a wish is also the captain.
To defeat the Demon King, the hero's sword is indispensable.
Without the "specialized attack on demons" feature, the game's difficulty would increase by dozens of times.
Thinking of this, Linda shook her head and declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I plan to build my own adventure team."
Isa frowned, thinking it was Linda's excuse: "You think the Ice Flower Adventure Team's salary is too low? How much does Lia offer you? I guarantee it will be increased by 20% from that."
Leah gave him junk, believing that a level 15 healer didn't deserve good equipment.
Linda was too embarrassed to say it out loud; it was too shabby, and she was afraid people would laugh at her.
“It’s not about the reward.” Linda smiled. “I have some reasons why I have to create my own team. Besides… I’m only level 0 now, so joining the Ice Flower Adventure Team would only be a hindrance.”
"Ah, level 0?" Isha looked at Linda in surprise. "I see, no wonder she was... well, that's why she was..."
Isa completely misunderstood.
It was assumed that Linda had encountered an accident inside the World Tree, which is why she was kicked out of the team by Lia.
Linda didn't explain further, and humbly said, "That's how it is. Thank you for your kindness."
The invitation from the Ice Flower Adventure Team was tempting, but Linda still wanted to create her own team.
After saying goodbye to a regretful-looking Isa, Kaphni hadn't gone far when she curiously approached.
"What's the Snow Goose Adventure Team all about? Who is Lia? And why did your eyes change when Isha was mentioned?"
"What's it to you?" Linda said irritably.
Kaphni, however, did not give up on getting to the bottom of things. She sensed something big coming out of Linda and was determined to find out.
"We're partners in defeating the Demon King, aren't we? What can't we say?"
"Speak, speak now!"
"I, the deity, am asking you a question."
The less Linda said, the more excited Kaphni became.
Tired of being pestered so much, Linda had no choice but to briefly recount the story of the Snow Goose Adventure Team.
A moment later.
"Huh? You're such a simp! Doing their laundry and cooking for them, even preparing their dating guides for free? Even a dog wouldn't be as good at simping as you!"
After hearing Linda's story, Kaphni was speechless.
I could almost picture three troublemakers and a male mother.
Captain Lia often gets into conflicts with other adventurers, beating them so badly that they can't even take care of themselves, and Linda has to clean up the mess for them.
The nun has a problem with her legs and needs daily massages.
The heavy armored warrior is an immature brat with a foul mouth who likes to call Linda a useless old bastard.
If Linda doesn't cook the meals she requests, the child won't eat, forcing Linda to always give in to the child's demands.
I've met good people before, but I've never met someone like Linda.
Taking care of dogs is easier than taking care of those pampered young ladies!
"Simp, simp hero, how did I choose someone like you to be my hero? Sigh, I really want to find a hero who respects me, is strong, and doesn't simp."
With her hands behind her back, head held high, and chest puffed out, Kaphni glanced sideways at Linda's dark face and mocked her with a hateful, devilish expression.
"Alright, shut up!"
Linda was a little annoyed: "You don't have OO, of course you don't understand men's thoughts! Besides, when the team was first formed, Lia was a normal person, she only started to change after the team became famous."
Kaphni, not to be outdone, retorted:
"If I didn't OO, who do you think is to blame? To be honest, I think the abnormal one is you. Didn't you spoil them like that?"
If someone cooks three meals for me every day for a year and then suddenly stops one day, I'll definitely yell at that person.
Why did you do it before, but not anymore?
They don't take you seriously; it's all because you're too eager to please them!
Linda frowned, "What does it matter to me if you don't have OO? You said in advance that the gods must grant the wishes made by the heroes, so why would I make such a useless wish?"
Besides, I didn't lick them at all. I was just doing what I was supposed to do. I couldn't let them starve, could I?
That's why I said you're a simp!
Kaphni burst into laughter.
She thought it was bad enough that she had become a girl, but Linda seemed to be in an even worse situation.
Those so-called teammates that Linda mentioned didn't treat him as a teammate at all; they were just using him, knowing that he would back down if they pushed him one step further.
After giving in so many times, Linda got used to it and felt that doing those things was his duty and responsibility.
In other words, Linda was CPU-bound!
A valiant warrior like yourself can't even understand this simple thing!
Kaphni casually answered another question Linda had raised: "What do you mean by saying I'm useless? If I had told you beforehand that you had to do everything in your power to fulfill the hero's wish, you simp would definitely have made even more outrageous wishes, right? Like licking someone's boots to increase their favorability, hahahahahaha!"
"What? Don't underestimate others, you damned god!"
Linda was completely enraged, and the two engaged in a fierce battle in the street.
Passersby looked at the strange pair with surprised expressions.
A tall, short-haired black man angrily chases after a woman with long blonde hair.
They have the aura of wanting to crush their opponent once they catch up.
The latter, completely unafraid, stood on the edge of the fountain's platform, arms crossed, mocking the former: "Simp, simp hero!"
"Damn it!"
Linda ran until her lungs felt like they were about to burst, but she still couldn't catch up with the rogue Kaphni.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, panting heavily.
Despite being exhausted, for some reason, after running for a while, he felt a sense of relief, as if he had released all the pent-up frustration and depression from his chest.
This reminded Linda of when the Snow Goose Adventure Team was first established, when the members were just like that, laughing and joking, chasing and fighting all the way.
I do miss it.
Linda sighed softly.
Leaving a team I'd been with for three years and had personally helped build up—it would be a lie to say I wasn't a little sad.
At this moment, he looked at Kaphni, who was standing on the edge of the fountain platform, hands on her hips, looking smug, her soft panda swaying in the wind.
It feels like going back to three years ago, carefree and without worries.
