She vigorously wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and said defiantly, "So what? I'm better than you, that's enough!"
Linda shook her head: "In terms of strength, you are no match for me."
"What? You're being incredibly arrogant!"
Leah retorted angrily, "If you're not happy, let's fight!"
Linda said, "If it were an arm wrestling match without magic, I would win."
"Is that so? Then let's go! If you lose, apologize to me!"
"Then I won."
"How could I possibly lose?"
"If I lose, I want a magical item from you."
Linda glanced at Lia's wrist, where a fiery red bracelet was visible.
The magical item [Blazing Bracelet] is a level 20 accessory.
It is Lia's most valuable item besides the greatsword Flame Devourer, with a market value of over 20,000 gold coins.
It's a pity she didn't bring that heavy sword; a heavy sword costs at least 30,000.
“Okay,” Leah readily agreed.
The group went to the living room and found an empty table.
Kaphni asked worriedly, "Are you sure you can handle it? That Leah has a really high strength attribute, right?"
“Without using magic or battle aura, relying solely on physical strength, I won’t lose,” Linda deliberately provoked Leah.
In fact, even without using those, an adventurer's base attributes will still boost their physical body.
Normally speaking, Linda has no chance of winning.
Otherwise, Leah wouldn't have agreed to the bet so easily.
Both Kaphni and Belinne felt uneasy for Linda. Leah was already a powder keg about to explode; if Linda lost to her, she would definitely take advantage of the situation and mercilessly mock Linda.
They might even have to hold Linda's head down and force him to publicly apologize in front of everyone in White Dove City...
It didn't matter when Linda was a wandering hermit, but now Linda is the captain of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, and is in the most crucial early stage of development.
If he were to issue a public apology to Leah, he would completely lose face, and the reputation of the Phoenix Flower would plummet.
Kaphni frowned and looked over, but she couldn't see the slightest bit of panic on Linda's face; she was as calm as an eighty-year-old Warcraft dog.
'That scoundrel of a hero isn't so bad after all...'
A subtle sense of pride welled up inside Kaphni.
Compared to her distrust of Linda, Monica's conviction was as firm as a rock.
They believe that as long as Linda takes action, there is no problem that cannot be solved.
at this time.
Linda and Leah crossed their wrists and held each other's hands.
"My Flame Swordsman class is biased towards strength attributes, how could I possibly lose to Linda, the 'Healing Warlock'?"
Leah looked down on Linda, as if victory was already within her grasp.
She had heard from Aiko that Linda's profession had been changed to a healing mage, making her a jack-of-all-trades in healing and poison.
How could such a trash profession possibly compare to her advanced profession, Flame Swordsman?
Mrs. Bellene, acting as referee, declared: "Begin!"
"Watch me win in one fell swoop!"
Leah's wrist was about to exert force.
At that moment, Linda suddenly threw something out.
She glanced at it subconsciously.
A small blue square box.
The image above is of a bouncy slime piled up like a steep mountain peak, with the accompanying speech bubble reading: 'The adventurer's spiked club is too big!'
This is a gel sleeve?
And... it's the largest size.
Leah instinctively looked down at Linda's lower body.
She heard from Katie that even someone as big as Orlu uses the smallest size.
Linda's height is about the same as Oru's, how could she possibly wear the largest size...?
This box of gel sleeves was still open.
Linda used it before? Could it be for her mother?
A massive influx of information is coming.
Just as Leah was distracted, Linda exerted force with her arm.
Taking advantage of her being off guard,
With a snap.
Leah's hand was pressed down onto the table.
The sound was crisp and powerful, and the back of Leah's hand turned red from the blow.
Leah didn't even realize what was happening.
Only when he felt the pain did he let out a cry of surprise.
Looking closely, I saw her right hand touching the table, and Linda's calm and composed expression.
"He has absolutely no sense of caution. How can he be the captain of an adventure team?" Linda said calmly.
"--you!"
Leah finally snapped out of her daze and stood up angrily: "Cheating! This is cheating! It doesn't count!"
"Are there rules against cheating? Would you ask your enemy to follow the rules?"
Linda sneered: "It was your own carelessness that caused you to lose."
Lia's face flushed red and then turned pale.
She really wanted to use her knowledge to refute Linda.
But even racking my brains, I couldn't find any way to argue.
It seems that what Linda said makes a lot of sense!
The people present had different thoughts.
Kaphni was overjoyed, pondering where to sell Lia's magical equipment to improve the team's living conditions.
Monica muttered to herself, "Monica knows, the captain will definitely win, the captain is the best."
Bellini, on the other hand, had mixed feelings.
She wanted to teach her daughter a lesson, but she didn't want her to get hurt.
Judging from Lia's expression, I wonder how many punches she'll throw at the doll to vent her anger when no one's around.
Belinne patted Lia's head and said, "You have to be an adventurer who keeps his promises, or others will look down on you."
"But I've used this piece of equipment for a long time." Leah said, reluctantly clutching the red bracelet on her wrist.
“That won’t do either,” Belinne said seriously.
"Can't we change it to something else?" Leah glared at Linda.
