After leaving the team, the adventurers regretted it

However, on the fourth floor of the World Tree, Lin Xi disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, and no trace of him could be found.

When Linda returned to the team base in a daze, he made a strange discovery that the pocket watch that Lin Xi never left behind appeared on his desk.

Linda still doesn't understand what happened that day. Did Lin Xi return to Baige City first and put her pocket watch down?

Or maybe Lin Xi had already died, and someone else got the pocket watch and placed it on his desk?

There are many things that don't make sense in either case.

A big part of the reason why Linda entered the World Tree was to look for Lin Xi.

"Don't worry, we will definitely find it. I will help you after I regain my strength."

Seeing that Linda was a little disappointed, Kafni couldn't help but comfort her.

"But there is one thing that I find strange. Why are you so sure that she is missing and not eaten by a monster?"

Kafni changed the subject and said, "The space inside the secret realm isn't actually that big, right? As long as you look carefully, you can always find clues."

Linda shook his head: "The subjugation secret realm is like this. The space inside is not big, the structure is simple, and the creatures you encounter are basically monsters. But the plot secret realm is different."

In the game "Secret Continent", some dungeons are played directly after entering. But in others, several tasks are set on a huge map, allowing players to explore and fight monsters until they meet the final BOSS.

The plot-based secret realm belongs to the latter.

Kafni said puzzledly: "What do crusade and plot types mean?"

“This is what our locals call it.”

Linda explained: "Here, the types of secret realms are roughly divided into three types. The first type is the one you just mentioned, which is also the most common type of crusade."

"A subjugation secret realm is similar to a dungeon in a game. You kill the monsters, find the guardian of the secret realm, kill him, and then you're done. This kind of secret realm is usually not very large, and you can go around it in a few hours."

"Oh, what about the second one?"

“The second type is the drama type.”

"The worlds created by the World Tree Goddess have different backgrounds. There are technology, wasteland, magic, etc. The space of this secret realm is thousands or tens of thousands of times larger than the previous one. Finding a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Linda put the pocket watch back into his inner pocket, took a deep breath, and gradually adjusted his mentality.

Now, he had already come out of the desolation when Lin Xi disappeared, and decided to climb to the top of the World Tree one step at a time.

After a moment of sadness, he recovered.

At present, the most important thing is to let Kafni, the new teammate, know the types of secret realms.

Kafni thought for a moment and said, "A plot-based secret realm is a bit like an illusion experience? What about the third type? What is it?"

"The last type is the public secret realm type."

This time, Linda's tone was more relaxed.

"This is the most favorite type among adventurers. There are no mandatory tasks in it. It is equivalent to an open world for free exploration. All adventurers who reach this level will appear on the same map and can meet each other.

There are many elite monsters and wild bosses in the Great Secret Realm. Killing them will give you a lot of rewards, as well as abundant minerals and other resources. It is a veritable welfare secret realm.

There is a great secret realm every 5 levels, and adventurers can enter it once a month, and are not allowed to enter at other times. "

Linda thought that this setting was different from that in the game, where one could refresh the level once a week, and could refresh it unlimitedly by paying money.

In the real version of the Secret Realm Continent, no matter if they are princes, nobles or commoners, everyone can only refresh the same level of the Secret Realm once a month.

Due to the strict limit on the number of times, adventurers have to strive forward in order to obtain more resources.

Linda raised her finger and said:

"There is one Great Secret Realm every five levels, and this is also used to determine the names of the adventurer teams, which are:

Below 5 floors, not considered good.

Level 5, novice adventure group.

Level 10, Rock Adventure Group.

Level 15, Iron Adventure Group.

Level 20, Chaoyang Adventure Group.

Level 25, Glorious Adventure Group.

Level 30, Glorious Adventure Group.

Level 35, Legendary Adventure Group.

Level 40, Myth Adventure Group.

No one has conquered the higher reaches yet."

After Linda talked for a while, she felt much better.

Chapter 14: Ice Flower Adventure Team Raiders Live

"So, the adventure group you were in before was just an ordinary rock-level adventure group? Aren't they low-level minions?"

After listening to Linda's story, Kafni curled his lips and said with disdain.

Linda came back to his senses and said helplessly: "In Baige City, the Rock-level adventure group is already very strong, and there are only about ten of them at most."

“Tsk, except for mythical adventure groups, this god will look down on them all.”

"People like you won't even be wanted as a Starfury Slave for a Mythical Adventure Group. There is only one Mythical Adventure Group in the entire Southern Fire Empire!"

"Xing, Xingfu? What do you think this god is?"

Kafni was furious. When he stood up, he realized that he was only in his underwear. He squatted back in the bushes in embarrassment.

Linda coughed and waved the ice silk dress in her hand: "I have finished explaining the types of secret realms. Then... you hide well, I will be back soon."

"Come back quickly!"

Kafni looked around in panic, afraid of being discovered by passers-by.

...

"Alas, I didn't expect to sell it for only 9 silver coins. It must be because you stink so badly that the pawnshop owner doesn't want you."

The two of them walked towards the cheapest rental house in Sparrow District. On the way, Linda said with some complaints.

Beside him, Kafni had changed into a different outfit, a brown linen dress bought for 50 copper coins.

There were a lot of loose threads on the top and the texture was rough. Kafni felt that her skin was about to be rubbed.

"You sold my stuff for 9 silver coins, but you only spent 50 copper coins to buy me clothes?" Kafni frowned and said unhappily, "If this continues, I'll have to find another hero!"

"Whatever you want." Linda snorted. If he could change, this guy would have changed him long ago.

Kafni was speechless and angry, but he couldn't do anything about Linda.

Not only can you not win the fight, you might even get beaten.

I can only endure the humiliation and bear the burden.

"If the clothes are not good enough, then the place to live must be more luxurious, right?"

Kafni extended a slender white index finger and said with a smile: "A single-family luxury villa should be no problem, right?"

"What are you thinking about? There are only 9 silver coins in total!" Linda rubbed his eyebrows in distress.

Baige City is a silver-level magic city with high consumption, and the rent is a typical three-month deposit and one-month payment.

Even in a poor place like Sparrow District, the monthly rent is at least 3 silver coins, and you have to pay a deposit of 3 months.

That means a total of 12 silver coins are needed.

The monetary system of the Southern Fire Empire: 1 gold coin = 10 silver coins = 1000 copper coins.

The purchasing power of 1 gold coin is roughly equivalent to 1000 yuan in China.

From this perspective, 3 silver coins a month in rent doesn't seem expensive.

But the problem is that Linda, an old employee who has worked hard in the Snow Goose Adventure Team for three years, has only 9 silver coins on him, which he got from selling Kafni.

A deposit of three and payment of one is totally not enough!

"Why don't you go to Bubble Paradise and be a prostitute... um, just ignore what I said."

Linda saw Kafni's dangerous expression as if he was ready to kill someone, so she stopped immediately.

“But Bubble Paradise…”

"You want to be murdered by this god while you sleep, right?"

"Ahem, that's just talk. I actually have another solution."

Linda murmured, "We can only go to 'that place'. We all know each other here, so it should be fine if we pay less deposit."

...

The two walked on the streets of Sparrow District.

The roads here are narrow and dirty, with low sheds on both sides and cheap linen clothes drying on clotheslines.

Drunken adventurers are often seen on the roads at night, resulting in countless fights and a very poor public security situation.

Fortunately, it was dark and the visibility was poor, so those drunkards didn't discover that Kafni was a big bear beauty.

Passing by an Adventurer's Guild, the entrance was crowded with people, bustling and noisy.

Just like gathering to watch football games in the previous life, the Adventurer's Guild always gathers a group of energetic young people who are interested in adventure.

Linda glanced over there.

The Ice Flower Adventure Team appeared on the crystal screen embedded in the outer wall of the Adventurer's Guild.

"Raiders Live?"

Linda stopped and was slightly surprised.

The so-called live broadcast of the raiders is to transmit the live situation of the raid on the secret realm to a pre-set crystal screen through a magical creature called the sensor ladybug, achieving an effect similar to that of a live broadcast.

Linda frowned. When she was in the Snow Goose Adventure Team, Leah also thought about starting a live broadcast of the strategy player, but was rejected by him sternly.

The advantages and disadvantages of this approach are very obvious.

The advantage is that the live broadcast of the strategy players can provide a lot of popularity to the cooperating Adventurer's Guild, and the imperial officials will also give subsidies to the team. In addition, it can also showcase the team's advantages and increase its fame.

But at the same time, it will also expose the team's playing style and weaknesses.

On this continent, there is fierce competition among the adventure teams, and conflicts often break out in public secret realms.

Grab equipment, grab world bosses, grab various magic resources.

Once your weakness is discovered by the opponent, it's like fighting naked.

Generally speaking, unless a team is seriously short of money, they will not choose to open the Raiders Live, which is a very bad move.

That Captain Isa is too impulsive.

He looks mature on the surface, but he's actually impatient like Leah?

Linda withdrew her thoughts and looked at the picture on the crystal screen.

The Ice Flower Adventure Team was conquering the twelfth floor, and they randomly arrived at the [Silent Cave], a large, dark underground cave.

Each level of the World Tree Secret Realm contains several maps, and adventurers enter one at random.

The boss weaknesses and resistances of each map are different, so it is a great test of the team's overall capabilities.

A team with a single bias usually won't go far.

"Level 25, Armored Turtle Snake, Earth Element, good at defense, and has the highest HP among BOSSes of the same level."

"The Ice Flower Adventure Team has no heavy sword output, it will be difficult."

Linda took a look and guessed the answer.

Even if Binghua can get through, the price will be extremely heavy.

But the scene on the screen was worse than Linda had expected.

The six members of Binghua were exhausted after the long battle. The heavy-armored warriors in the front row were seriously injured. Isa, as the main output, was also sweating profusely. The hand holding the ice crystal one-handed sword kept shaking. It was obvious that she lacked strength and could hardly hold the sword.

The surrounding adventurers couldn't help but worry for the Ice Flower Adventure Team.

Captain Isa is an extremely beautiful silver-haired swordsman girl. She is very popular among adventurers, and no one wants to see this girl die at the World Tree.
