Davin rubbed the wound on his cheek with his thumb, and seeing the bright red mark, he smiled and said, "Three years have passed. It seems that you've improved from a piece of trash to a useless person. Not bad."
Lia's gaze was fixed on Davin, her entire body ablaze with fire-type battle aura. "Charge!"
"You guys, stop fighting!"
"Brothers and sisters should get along well!"
Bellini stood between the two, looking angry: "If they keep fighting, I'm going to tell the master!"
Upon hearing the word "Master," Davin frowned, dispelled his fighting spirit, looked at Lia not far away, and snorted coldly: "Consider yourself lucky. If I run into you again next time I come back, I'll teach you a lesson again."
"Who's afraid of who? I'll trample you under my feet sooner or later!" Leah sneered.
"Alright!" Belinne took her daughter's hand and bowed apologetically to Linda, "I'm so sorry, I need to discipline my daughter a bit, so I won't see you off..."
“Madam, you are feeling unwell, please go back and rest.” Linda nodded understandingly.
"So you haven't left yet." Lia glared at him fiercely before being pushed into the mansion by Belinne.
Only Linda, Davin, and the others remained in the manor.
Davin spoke first.
Compared to his initial coldness, Davin's attitude had inexplicably become more friendly. This second young master of the Mandala family seemed to be in a much better mood after being punched and bleeding by Leah.
"That kind of idiot is completely unfit to explore the secret realm. I hope you can wake her up and make her obediently come back."
Linda asked curiously, "But I'm just a level 8 adventurer, how could I possibly do that?"
“You can’t do it, but I think your team can.” Daven’s eyes revealed a hint of appreciation: “When Leah left home, she was only level 7. You spent three years helping her adventure team reach level 8. This ability is second to none in Red Heart City.”
Linda shook her head, "But I have no interest in getting involved in your family affairs. I'm too busy with my own team."
“No need to be modest. If I say you can do it, then you can.” Davin said proudly. “You’ve been in Xueyan for three years and have taken good care of Liya. Consider it a favor my Mandala family owes you. If you encounter any difficulties in Red Peach City, you can mention my name.”
"Thank you very much."
Linda naturally accepted any benefits she could.
He politely bowed, a gesture often used by adventurers, and prepared to leave.
"Oh, right."
Davin slapped his forehead, as if remembering something, and reminded him, "When you go back to White Dove City, remember to be careful of the monsters on the Clearwind Riverbank. Our adventurer group's scouts have found out that the monsters on the Clearwind Riverbank are not normal, and there may be mutated high-level monsters appearing."
"That kind of monster is beyond the capabilities of your small team. Perhaps you'll witness the might of our Crimson Adventurer Group then... Heh, speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've clashed with the White Dove Adventurer Group from your city."
White Dove Adventurers?
Linda paused in her steps.
He'd heard those five words so many times he was practically calloused.
Everyone in White Dove City is familiar with this adventure team.
The strongest Iron-level adventure team in White Dove City, the benchmark of the city.
"By the way, you just mentioned Qingfeng River Beach?" he asked with a serious expression.
Davin hummed in agreement: "Recently, some killer crabs have migrated there, and there's probably a mutated leader among them. When you return to White Dove City, remember to avoid it."
"Thank you for informing me." This time, Linda sincerely performed an adventurer's greeting.
The simultaneous appearance of the keywords "killer crab" and "Qingfeng River Beach" triggered a memory in his mind:
It's a small-scale event; the 'Killer Crab Frenzy' is about to begin.
Based on the timeline, it should be about ten days from now.
This is a pre-event for the major summer event, 'Hero's Stone Falls from the Sky'.
It aims to help adventurers level up quickly and increase their chances of obtaining Hero Stones.
Qingfeng River Beach is where the killer crab frenzy breaks out.
Players will receive a bonus of experience points for defeating killer crabs during the event.
In reality, this reward model would definitely change, which is something Linda needs to be aware of.
...
The three bid farewell to Davin and hired a horse-drawn carriage from the Adventurers' Guild to travel long distances in the wilderness, returning to White Dove City.
Inside the carriage, Kaphni was excitedly holding a red and blue handheld console that she had stolen from someone's bag, controlling the puppet inside to fight monsters, occasionally shouting that it was so much fun, acting like she had never seen anything like it before.
Monica fell asleep on Linda's lap, her breathing steady and peaceful.
Linda quietly took the girl's cardboard box down to let it air out, her fingers stroking the girl's fair and rosy cheeks, lost in thought.
If handled well, the Killer Crab Frenzy event can make his team incredibly wealthy.
This monster is weak to earth magic and physical damage.
After the frenzy begins, two types of equipment will definitely increase in price:
Earth-type magic wand, magic scroll.
Hammers and axe-type weapons used for striking.
Prices will rise by at least 20%.
Linda rubbed her chin, thinking to herself: stocking up on a batch of goods could make her a fortune.
We need to acquire more coins before everyone realizes the killer crab craze.
With his foresight, the more he hoarded, the more he earned.
