After leaving the team, the adventurers regretted it

This is the foundation for all adventurers. Whether it is fighting spirit or magic power, they are all carried by the source core.

Linda closed her eyes and calmed herself down.

Gradually, I came to a dark spiritual world.

Looking up, I saw a lone diamond-shaped emerald green source core hanging in the sky.

With the source nucleus as its 'eyes', there is an incomparably huge Ouroboros like a giant beast of the mountains and rivers lurking in the shadow.

As Linda's body practiced meditation, a dim star lit up around the source core that served as the Ouroboros's purpose.

This is Linda’s career totem.

A giant beast that symbolizes strength and wisdom, the Ouroboros.

Each profession in the Secret Continent has its own symbolic totem and a star map located in the spiritual world.

When an adventurer reaches a higher level, a star will light up around the source core.

Chapter 42: Departure, Monster Subjugation

When all one hundred stars are lit up, the occupation totems will break through the dark starry sky, allowing adventurers to gain their full power.

Linda continued to absorb magic balls into his body for refining, and his experience points increased like a slowly crawling snail, advancing a certain distance on the progress bar.

Half an hour later, Linda began to feel exhausted. His body had been saturated today and he could not refine any more magic power.

He opened his eyes and looked at his personal panel.

There is a message in the system message bar: [Practice diligently for half an hour, experience value +1]

It takes a total of 0 experience points to upgrade from level 1 to level 10.

According to this calculation, even without killing monsters, it only takes 10 days to reach level 1.

According to Linda's understanding of this world, it takes an ordinary adventurer one month to go from 0 to 1.

His talent was also improved after he changed his job to a brave warrior.

Linda closed her personal panel with satisfaction.

Lie on the bed, close your eyes, and conserve your energy for tomorrow's monster hunt.

...

early morning.

“It hurts, it hurts…!”

Kavni fell off the sofa with a plop.

She hit her head and tears came to her eyes because of the pain.

It seemed that last night's ale had not been fully digested.

She came to the bathroom with a sallow face and saw herself in the mirror with disheveled blonde hair, dull eyes and a bruise on her thigh.

——What happened last night?

My memory is a little fragmented and it hurts a little. There are bruises on my thighs from being pinched.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if I had fallen into an abyss!

An extremely terrifying and terrible picture emerged in Kafni's mind.

A certain hero smiled evilly, leaving bruises on her body!

"Oops!"

Kafni's face changed drastically and he quickly checked it.

After confirming that it was still there, she collapsed on the toilet.

"What are you doing?"

Linda also woke up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and went to the bathroom.

Kafni laughed dryly, "Nothing. Oh, by the way, what's the bruise on my leg?"

"I carried you all the way back last night. How could I have carried you without holding on tightly?"

"That's it..."

Kafni scratched his head in embarrassment, thinking that he had misunderstood Linda's noble character. If Linda had any ill intentions, she would have met with misfortune on the first day when she fell asleep, and there was no need to wait until now.

She glanced sideways and noticed that Linda had two dark circles under his eyes. She asked curiously, "Insomnia? You can't even sleep well in bed? That's not right. Didn't we agree that I will sleep in the bed for the next month? Why am I on the sofa?"

"Uh, next time for sure."

After washing up, Linda hurried out of the bathroom, only to hear Kafni complaining loudly inside, saying that she wanted to replace the hero.

He came to the living room, sat on the sofa and rubbed his aching temple.

In my ears was the noisy voice of Kafni.

Last night's nightmare still lingers in my head.

The reason why Linda didn’t sleep well was that she had a dream that was bizarre yet extremely real.

He dreamed that in his previous life, in order to clear the game Secret Continent, those game characters that were no longer useful in the later stages and were kicked out of the team by him and thrown away like garbage jumped out of the screen one by one and exploited him as the captain in his dream.

What about werewolves, snake girls, big sisters with broad minds, introverted and socially phobic pure black silk girls...

This terrible dream woke him up directly and he didn't sleep well the whole night.

When Linda first came to this world, he was worried about encountering the game character he created.

But after asking around, he did not find the team called 'Newbie Adventure Group'.

So I just let the matter go.

Linda opened the window, patted her cheeks, tied the belt with a circle of magic potions hanging on it, and cheered herself up.

...

After Kafni finished washing up, the two went downstairs to have breakfast, and then went to the grocery store to buy a set of leather armor.

Including the weapons purchased last night, the total cost was five gold coins.

Linda's attributes are enhanced to a certain extent after wearing the equipment.

He opened his personal interface.

There is a human-shaped shadow on the equipment bar page.

All characters in the Secret Continent have six equipment slots: head, chest, legs, weapons, and jewelry x2.

The added attributes of equipment vary according to their quality, from low to high:

Grey inferior quality.

White is ordinary.

Green and excellent.

Blue is rare.

Purple is rare.

Orange is rare and expensive.

Red epic.

Golden legend.

No matter how strong an adventurer is, he still needs powerful equipment to support him.

Linda currently only has two pieces of equipment. Click on the chest of the humanoid shadow, and a rectangular interface will pop up, which reads:

[Name: Leather armor made when bored]

[Type: Equipment - Chest]

[Quality: White ordinary]

【Level: 0】

[Attributes: Defense +1, HP +80, Agility -1]

[Equipment rating: 10, barely usable tattered leather armor]

It's really a piece of junk, and has the negative attribute of -1 Agility.

Linda thought helplessly.

This is what equipment of ordinary quality looks like, and its advantage is that it is cheap.

Don't think too much about the attributes.

The second piece of equipment is the longsword I bought last night.

[Name: Rusty long sword used as a table leg]

[Type: Equipment-Weapon-One-handed Sword]

[Quality: White ordinary]

【Level: 0】

[Attributes: Strength +10, Agility -1]

[Equipment rating: 7, it's rusty, but it's more than enough for chopping cotton]

Linda's face twitched and she closed her personal panel directly.

Once I earn gold coins, I must buy some blue rare quality equipment.

The only thing that comforted him was that with this 'rusty long sword for cutting cotton', his strength attribute when attacking reached 23, while the health of slimes of the same level was around 20, so he could basically kill one with one sword.

"How are your attribute values?" Linda asked, glancing at Kafni, who had a bitter face.

Kafni does not have a personal panel, but as a deity he can judge the strength of the magic power in his body and make a numerical summary.

"Take the dagger, the strength unit is about 13..." Kafni said weakly.

"Is it too low?"

Linda held his forehead with a headache and stopped counting on Kafni's output.

The thief profession is really weak in the early stages.

...

Before defeating the monster, the two went to the Adventurer's Guild first.

If there is a suitable task, you can do it while killing monsters.

Linda squeezed in from the crowd outside and looked at the huge bulletin board covered with various task scrolls.

[Rock-level mission: A three-headed lizard appears in the town of Yotan in the northwest. It is estimated to be level 20-25. Defeat it, regardless of life or death. The reward is 3000 gold]

[Novice level task: Pick 500 Qingfeng mushrooms from Qingfeng Wetland, reward gold]

[Apprentice-level mission: Capture a lightning slime, and receive a reward based on vitality, 1-100 gold.]

The levels of all quests correspond to adventure teams of the same level. Rock-level quests are generally recommended to be accepted by members of rock-level adventure teams.

Linda held his chin up and looked down thoughtfully. With his and Kafni's current strength, the most suitable task for them was the trainee-level task of capturing the lightning slime.

Chapter 43: Killing a Monster Family of Three

Ordinary slimes are blue and water-based. Only when they are struck by lightning on a rainy day can they transform into lightning slimes. They are extremely rare in the wild.

"I hope the blessing of the World Tree Goddess can protect me in reality as well."

Linda thought in her mind.

He took the Lightning Slime's mission scroll from the notice board.

It is worth mentioning that this task is a [public type] task. Even if Linda accepts it, other adventurers can still accept it. Whoever completes it first will be rewarded by the employer.

It depends on both luck and speed, and is a relatively poor type of task.

The advantage is that the reward is high, up to 100 gold coins.
