After leaving the team, the adventurers regretted it

"I'll give you this sentence exactly as it is." Linda spread his hands.

Half an hour later, the two decided on the date for the launch of the strategy: noon the day after tomorrow.

When Linda walked out of the cafe to pay the bill, she took out her savings card, but found that Isa had paid in advance.

As he waved goodbye to her at the door, he sighed in his heart: What a mature girl. In comparison, Leah seemed to be growing backwards.

The image of that petite red-haired figure has become increasingly faint in Linda's mind in recent days.

In the first few days after he left the team, he often recalled every little detail of his time with Leah, Xueyan and others. But as new team members arrived one after another, his empty heart seemed to be filled, and it was difficult to remember the past.

Time will indeed erase everything.

Linda thought silently.

Whether happy or sad, after a period of time, all traces will be smoothed out like wind blowing through sand.

"Popcorn~Freshly-baked popcorn, 5 copper coins per cup~" The snack cart on the roadside attracted Linda's attention. He searched his pockets and found the smallest denomination was 1 gold coin.

The one selling popcorn is an old man who is missing a leg. Most of these people are retired adventurers who were injured in the secret realm.

Linda handed over a gold coin: "Three barrels of original flavor, and you don't need to pay for the rest."

The old man raised his head, a hint of surprise appeared in his cloudy eyes. He looked up and down at Linda, put his right hand on his chest and prayed: "May the World Tree Goddess bless you."

...

pat.

Linda returned to the rental house and the bag in her hand fell to the ground.

There was a rustling sound coming from the bathroom. I guess Lulu was taking a shower. Kafni had occupied the small bed early and her snoring could be heard outside.

Monica stood nervously in front of him, holding a strangely shaped gold coin in her hand, hanging on a string, swinging left and right like a pendulum, and whispered:

"Night elves, please help me hypnotize the captain and turn him into a puppet that I can control at will..."

Linda's facial muscles became more and more relaxed, as if she was really hypnotized.

That strange-looking gold coin was obviously a fake, and no one knew where Monica got it from.

But Linda really wanted to see what Monica would do to her while she was hypnotized.

Seeing him completely relaxed, Monica blinked in surprise and said, "Touch your left cheek, bend over, and stand up."

The girl tentatively issued a series of commands, and Linda actually did them all. This made Monica's face flush, and her heartbeat gradually accelerated. She pointed at the sofa in the living room and said, "Do, do push-ups!"

Is it to take revenge on myself in the dream?

Despite her doubts, Linda still did it.

But the next scene almost made his nose bleed!

When he got ready on the sofa and prepared to descend, Monica, the clever little ghost, actually crawled into his arms tremblingly.

The girl's big eyes looked upwards with fear yet longing, her small hands clenched in front of her as if praying, her two white silk legs clamped tightly together, and she was as nervous as a small animal being targeted by a hunter.

What is this doing?

Linda was quite shocked. In his impression, Monica was a very serious and well-behaved team member. Why did she hypnotize herself and do such a misleading thing?

A light bulb seemed to light up in Linda's mind, and she suddenly thought:

Monica in the game is 15 years old, but 3 years have passed since I traveled through time, and Monica has become an adult. No one knows what Monica has experienced in these 3 years. Recalling when I entered the small house, there was a lot of toilet paper in the garbage bag at the entrance, and a strange smell...

Linda's face changed drastically, and it felt like a thousand horses were galloping through his heart.

Could it be that Monika has become a useless reward girl! ?

A cold sweat broke out on Linda's forehead. He just couldn't do any push-ups at all.

The girl's warm breath reached his cheek through less than 20 centimeters of air. Her healthy figure was eye-catching, and her little face became even redder.

Maybe he felt that he had been 'hypnotized' and would not remember anything he did.

Monica boldly stretched out her hands and put them around his neck. Her eyes were as bright as the twinkling stars, and from her pink lips, she uttered a few heart-wrenching words:

"M-Monica to the Captain..."

No, I can’t say anymore!

The devil in Linda's body is ready to break out of the cage at any time!

At the same time, the door of the bathroom rang. It was Lulu who was walking out after taking a shower.

This situation is very bad.

Linda's heart tightened. If Lulu saw this scene, she would probably think that he took the initiative to attack Monica, which would not be conducive to raising his trust level to 100%.

"Hey, where is this? Wasn't I just at the door?"

Linda pretended to wake up from hypnosis. When he saw Monica appear under him, he stood up in disbelief: "What on earth happened?"

"Ah, Captain..." Monica was startled and quickly put the gold coins used for hypnosis behind her butt.

The big loli ran to the bedroom, covered her head with the quilt, played ostrich, and pretended not to hear Linda's questions.

The next moment, the bathroom door opened.

Lulu was wearing a pair of black tight shorts and a white sports tube top. She was wiping her steaming hair with a towel draped around her neck.

Seeing Linda, she was startled for a moment, then nodded gently: "You're back. How was the talk over there?"

"I will assist you in the Ice Flower Raiders Level 13 the day after tomorrow." Linda stretched and pretended nothing happened, saying, "It's so late, do you want to stay or go to the hotel?"

"This place is too small." Lulu frowned. The implication seemed to be that if it was a bigger house, she would not refuse to stay overnight, after all, she was also a member of the Luanweihua family.

As for houses...I'll go to the inner city tomorrow to see if there are any cheap ones.

Linda’s current rental cottage is indeed too crowded. There is only one bed and the living room is pitifully small.

In the future, the number of people in the team will increase, and he will have to move to a bigger house.

He counted the gold coins in his hand: he sold three bottles of Metal Destroyer for 30 gold, plus the gold he got from conquering the World Tree Secret Realm... There were a total of 341540 gold coins on his savings card.

Villas in the central area are definitely unaffordable, but those in the outskirts are cheaper.

While thinking, Linda took Lulu downstairs.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Lulu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned around and called him.

"what happened?"

At night, the dim light of the street lamp fell between the two of them. The surroundings were quiet, bringing a subtle and solemn atmosphere.

Lulu: "Do you know the 'God Rewards Hard Work System'?"

Linda: “…”

Didn’t I tell you to keep it a secret and not tell anyone?

"I have no idea what that is." Linda shook her head in confusion.

"Really?" Lulu looked suspicious.

Linda watched Lulu leave, then heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the rental house.

The disobedient orc girl will have to continue to be guided tonight.

night.

[System prompt: Consume 1 potential guidance ticket, team member Lulu's strength increases by 30! ]

On the rooftop of the dream, Lulu collapsed in sweat again.

...

Linda didn't sleep well that night.

He was sleeping on the sofa in the living room and was awakened in the middle of the night by the noise of Kafni's craft. He buried his head in the blanket in distress, wondering: Should I remind Kafni?

It is said that girls' happiness is more than ten times that of boys and lasts longer.

If this continues, Kafni will really become a useless god!

The second time I woke up was in the second half of the night.

When Linda went to the bathroom, she heard a faint humming sound.

Very thin, completely different from Kafni's carefree and heroic voice that treats others as sleepy fools...

Linda's heart was in his throat, as if he had turned into the protagonist of "O: Sky". He walked to the bedroom cautiously and pushed the door open a crack.

The girl's voice came out intermittently:

"Captain...嘤嘤..."

Linda closed the door silently.

He sat on the sofa, rubbing his temples dejectedly.

On that cold and lonely night, I recalled the scene not long ago when Monica shyly put her arms around my neck while I was doing push-ups.

He was right.

Three years later, Monica has grown up.

You can't treat her as a little girl just because she looks young.

Adult adventurers all have their own needs, which are the inevitable impulse to ensure the survival of the race.

"But I can't do it..."

Linda sighed.

The guilt of grabbing the white silk calves is too great.

He prefers more mature ones than loli.

Chapter 128: Honorable Adventurer Badge, Reward from the Committee

The third time Linda was woken up was at seven in the morning.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang!

There was a constant stream of violent knocks on the door.

Linda sat up from the sofa with a frown on his face. Who would come to disturb him so early in the morning?

When he opened the door, the scene outside was beyond his expectations. Dozens of black magic microphones attacked him like goblin's swords.

Reporters from various newspapers were full of enthusiasm, and they rushed to ask questions:

"Mr. Eye of Truth, what do you think about receiving the Honorary Adventurer Badge?"

"What's your motivation for giving out this guide for free? Are you planning to start 'selling products' once you become famous enough, and exploit the adventurers?"

"You killed the Goblin Chieftain. Your strength is obvious to all. However, the captain of the Snow Goose team claimed that you were kicked out of the team because you were too weak. How do you explain this?"

Linda was bombarded by the group of reporters as soon as he came in, and he was a little irritated. Behind him, Kafni and Monica were also woken up. They came out of the bedroom side by side in their pajamas, still sleepy.

Reporter Kami's face suddenly turned red, the kind of excitement flush of catching a big piece of news: "This, this, this is - three splits? The captain of Luanweihua actually has this kind of interest?"

Click, click, click!

The shutter of the magic camera kept being pressed, taking pictures of the two team members with ignorant faces.

The saliva at the corners of Kafni's mouth and Monica's half-exposed delicate shoulders seemed to be evidence of last night's revelry.

Linda yelled in pain, which made the reporters calm down a little.

He first drank some water to moisten his throat and get his thoughts back to normal - it seemed that the strategy had spread.

This is a good thing, as it can reduce casualties among adventurers. But inevitably, as the captain of Luanweihua, he has become a "celebrity", which has both advantages and disadvantages...

The benefits are obvious: he gained fame, an intangible thing that can bring convenience in many ways.

The disadvantage is... he is worried that those four-star or even five-star characters who are wandering around and holding a grudge against him will recognize him and beat him up directly.

Linda helplessly faced the reporters' microphones, trying to come up with a conventional statement to avoid being a conspicuous bag like Gail.

He cleared his throat and said:

"The first question is about the Adventurer Badge. As an adventurer who has only reached the third level, I am flattered. From now on, I will create guides with a more resolute, steady, serious, honest, and self-reflective attitude."
