After leaving the team, the adventurers regretted it

She finished her juice and slammed the table angrily.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response. This was the first time this happened.

Leah was stunned for a moment, and when she looked around she realized that the living room was empty except for her.

Echo and Krona should be in their respective rooms. The couple, Kenny and Oru, bought a house in installments and don't live here.

"Where's the food? The food!"

Leah bit her lip in anger.

Originally, Linda should have prepared dinner by this time, and they could just wait to eat, but Linda suddenly quit the team, and she didn't have time to hire a new cook.

Her stomach kept growling, and Leah went to the refrigerator to find something to eat with resentment.

From the storage layer below which was filled with the freezing array, she dug out a few bags of dumplings.

"Let's have this tonight."

Leah felt a little calmer when she saw the handwritten label on the package, which said it was filled with leeks and pork.

She often eats this strange delicacy made of dough wrapped with fillings as a midnight snack.

In the past, I only had to shout and someone would cook the dumplings for me, but now I have to cook by myself.

Leah thought it was quite fresh and went into the kitchen with dumplings in great interest.

It was her first time doing this, and she felt the excitement of an adventurer entering a new secret realm.

After some fiddling, she finally succeeded in turning on the stove, and a light blue flame rose. The next step was to pour water into the pot... Although she had never seen how Linda cooked, she could guess it.

After pouring some water, Leah threw a large bag of dumplings into the water.

That's enough for three people.

Leah tied an apron on, crossed her arms, and proudly imagined the scene of Eco and Chrona praising her in disbelief.

Gurgle, after a while, the cold water was heated to boiling and began to bubble.

But Leah stared with her eyes wide open in stupidity. What was going on? All the dumplings were broken and the stuffing was flowing everywhere!

"Aiko, Aiko, come here quickly, something's wrong!"

Chapter 20: Echo's Jealousy

While shouting, Leah frantically tried to rescue the dumplings in the pot.

After a while, Aiko, with cucumber slices all over his face, came down from the second-floor bedroom in an unhappy mood.

The wheelchair she was sitting in was a custom-made one from the Alchemist's Guild, powered by magic cores, so it had no problem going up and down stairs.

"What's wrong?" Echo came to the kitchen.

"The dumplings are all broken." Leah said in annoyance, "Why are they trying to pick on me?"

Aiko understood the problem after taking a look at it, and was a little speechless: "Did you cook it in cold water?"

This captain really can't do anything except fighting.

Aiko complained in her heart that she couldn't even cook properly. She really didn't know where Leah got the confidence to agree to Linda's withdrawal from the team.

Fortunately, this guy was not stupid enough to just throw the certificate of withdrawal from the team to Linda. Before going to the Adventurer's Guild to officially terminate the contract, Linda was still considered a member of Xueyan.

We must seize this opportunity and give Linda some advice.

Ai Ke collected his thoughts and looked up at Leah: "Of course it will break. You need to put it in hot water. Don't you know this?"

"I've never made dumplings and I don't know about this. What right do you have to criticize me?" Leah threw the spoon on the stove and said righteously.

The panda that was so angry at her appearance that Ai Ke grew bigger.

It's like this every time. No matter what happens, it's not Leah's fault. If there is any fault, it's the team members' fault.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing veins on her face, and said with a fake smile: "Go and have a rest, throw these away, and I'll make a new pot."

"No, wasting is not a good habit." Leah refused.

Aiko wanted to swear.

This is the typical thinking of poor adventurers. They can be cheated out of a hundred gold coins on equipment, but they will be very careful with small expenses such as clothes and food, and are unwilling to lose even a copper coin.

She suppressed her anger, sent Leah to the living room, served the dumplings herself and brought them to the dining table.

"Pig food?" Krona was already starving. She came down from the second floor and waited at the dining table, but when she saw the torn dumplings on the plate, she couldn't help scratching her head in confusion.

"I did it." Leah narrowed her eyes.

Krona didn't dare to speak.

She swallowed a half-cooked dumpling with a bitter face and couldn't help asking, "Sister Ai Ke, why hasn't Linda come back yet?"

In Krona's eyes, she had no concrete idea about Linda's withdrawal from the team.

I came back in the evening, that should be the extent of it.

"Um, well..." Eco glanced at Leah.

Leah remained silent and showed off the dumplings crazily, as if to prove to the two of them that they were actually edible.

"Can you come back tomorrow?" Krona looked at Echo eagerly.

"It'll take a few days for Linda to go out and relax." Ico touched Krona's little head and talked to her, but she glanced at Leah. She clearly saw that when she mentioned Linda, Leah's hands holding the dumplings stiffened for a moment, and her movements were not very natural.

Aiko snorted in disdain in his heart.

She really didn't want to clean up Leah's mess.

But the Snow Goose Adventure Team really needs Linda, even if her level is a little lower. It would be good to keep her at home to make strategies or be a cook.

I have to persuade Linda to come back and be my dog...oh no, be my teammate.

I don't know what Ai Ke was thinking about, her cheeks turned slightly red.

The three of them each had their own thoughts, and there was silence at the dinner table, with only the sound of eating.

This loneliness seemed to make Leah uncomfortable. Her right foot kept tapping the ground, making an irritating sound.

Aiko always had a feeling that it would not be surprising if this powder keg exploded at any moment.

If you have the ability, go and get Linda back yourself?

You just give your teammates the cold shoulder, right?

Ai Ke couldn't bear it any longer, so he coughed lightly and made things clear: "I'll find a chance to talk to Linda."

Leah lowered her head to drink juice and didn't respond, but her toes, which had been tapping back and forth, stopped.

Noticing this detail, Echo's contempt for Leah was almost overflowing. She tried not to show this expression on her face and said calmly, "I'll go ask him if he realizes his 'mistake'."

Before he could finish his words, he heard Leah snort coldly.

"Anyway, I won't let him return to the team."

Echo smiled and wanted to drop the bowl on Leah's head.

"It was Aiko and the others who asked you to come back, but I didn't agree! If you insist on coming back, work hard in the future and don't be lazy!" Aiko could imagine the scene after Linda came back.

Boom boom boom!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

All three of them turned their heads to look.

Aiko thought for a moment, "I'll go take a look."

What if it’s Linda outside?

She couldn't let that little bitch Leah be alone with Linda. It was too dangerous for a man and a woman to be alone at night.

Aiko opened the door and went outside with a hint of expectation.

It turned out not to be Linda.

A dozen young men gathered at the door of the villa.

The leader was a neatly dressed, skinny young man with a ribbon tied around his head with the words "Head of the Ice Flower Adventure Team Support Group" written on it.

Aiko's face twitched. These people were the so-called "otakus", right? They didn't dare to go to the secret realm, but they were very eager for adventure, so they took other people's adventure teams as their spiritual support.

What made her even more disgusted was that this group of people were the support group of the Ice Flower Adventure Team.

Ever since she heard that Isa invited Linda to join the team, she no longer had any good feelings towards Isa.

"This is the Snow Goose Adventure Team. Are you in the right place?"

Ai Kexiao was gentle and kind, like a mature older sister, perfectly hiding her true thoughts.

"So elegant, worthy of being the 'Holy Mage' Echo!"

"So gentle, I won't be scolded for disturbing you in the middle of the night."

"From today on, my second spiritual support is Miss Aiko."

Everyone shouted excitedly.

Ai Ke stroked her cheek, inadvertently revealing a wisp of white on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "So, everyone came to the Snow Goose Adventure Team, is there something going on? Or are you lost?"

The group was so confused that their mouths were dry. Fortunately, the leader Dawen was determined. He pinched his thigh hard and said, "Actually, we are here to see Mr. Linda."

Linda?

Ai Ke's expression changed.

The news about Linda's withdrawal from the team is currently only circulated among a few adventurers, and ordinary people like Daven are still unaware of it.

She didn't point out that Linda had quit the team, but asked calmly, "What do you want from Linda?"

"Is such that..."

Daven recounted what happened in the afternoon when Linda helped the Ice Flower Adventure Team get out of crisis and pass the twelfth level.

"We need to find Linda to thank him for helping the Ice Flower Adventure Team!"

"By the way, I have to warn Linda not to attack our Captain Isa!"

"Captain Isa belongs to our support group!"

Faced with this group of otakus who were saying disgusting words in a serious tone, Aiko could hardly hide the smile on her face.

Linda...helped Isa pass the twelfth level?

Why can he do it? On what basis can he do it?

Echo felt a slight twinge of jealousy.

Fortunately, it was me who came to open the door. If it was Leah, she would probably have had a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.

He was hesitant in conquering the ninth floor with the Snow Goose Adventure Team, but once he got outside, he helped Binghua pass the twelfth floor with just a few words.

Chapter 21 Classic Skills

Originally, when Aiko heard that Linda rejected Isa's invitation and did not join the Ice Flower Adventure Team, she was relieved.

But the arrival of Daven and others made her heart rise to her throat again.

To Isa, a level 15 healer with a good reputation and a healer who can command the Ice Flower Adventure Team to pass the twelfth floor have completely different meanings.

The captain usually commands, but Isa is a front-line job, and multitasking consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, when the captain is a front-line job, this work is usually handed over to the back-line assistants, like the Snow Goose Adventure Team does.

Now that Linda has withdrawn from the team, Isa is delighted.

If she bent down and begged, Linda might really join in.

The main reason is that Leah is too mean. In comparison, Linda is likely to be taken advantage of by Isa.

They are all just a bunch of idiots...The hatred in Eco's heart almost showed on her face.

"I'm sorry, Linda isn't at home. You made this trip in vain."

After Aiko drove Daven and the others away, the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She stared at another luxury house in the same community with cold eyes and couldn't help but punch the wall.

As a mage, her delicate fists were torn and bleeding.

But I seemed unaware of it, and bit my lips with a gloomy face.
