After leaving the team, the adventurers regretted it

Linda's team is currently short of people.

If he and Kafni were alone, they would have to temporarily hide from the attack if they encountered the Snow Goose Adventure Team led by Leah in the Great Secret Realm.

But with Lulu, it’s different.

Linda fully believes that Lulu, after activating her skill rampage, is not weaker than Leah, and may even be better.

After Lulu thought about it for a while, she slowly stood up from the ground.

"Are you a local adventurer from White Dove City?" she asked.

"Correct."

Linda nodded.

Hearing this answer, Lulu's expression relaxed, as if she attached great importance to whether it was a local team in Baige City.

She glanced at Linda's outstretched right hand, but did not shake it. She said coldly, "If you leak my affairs, I will not let you go."

Does this mean...you agree to join the team?

Linda felt relieved and said, "I never betray my teammates."

Lulu put away her claws and put her hands in her coat pockets again, with an expression of noncommittal.

The wind in the wilderness made her short light blue hair flutter wildly, and her furry tail swayed slightly as she walked.

She pulled her hood back on and walked towards Baige City with a somewhat cold look on her face.

Linda and Kafni looked at each other.

"Lin... Richard, are you really planning to recruit her into the team?"

"If she just goes to the city to ask about your affairs, it will be exposed, right? It won't be kept secret for long!"

"By the way, what is your relationship with that orc? What should we do in the future? I don't want to carry a killer with me every day!" Kafni lowered his voice to the lowest level, his face looking extremely ugly.

"There is always a way." Linda said.

"There is always a way..."

“There is always a way!”

Linda quickly chased after him.

There was a strong sense of oppression hanging over him. It was Lulu who was urging the two of them.

Coming to a position parallel to the orc girl, Linda said, "Let's go into the city and register for a team?"

"You don't have a team?" Lulu looked at him unfriendly.

“There weren’t enough people before.”

Linda seemed not to notice Lulu's dissatisfaction. He looked straight ahead and spoke calmly.

Seeing that he chose to ignore her, Lulu was silent for a while and said, “Register as soon as possible.”

"Yeah." Linda nodded.

In fact, his mind was not on the other person at this moment.

Just now, a prompt came from the system.

Ordinary prompts are usually displayed in white fonts, but this time, it was in bold gold fonts, obviously some kind of important news.

Linda clicks to view.

In addition to the three major sections of [Personal Interface], [Equipment Bar], and [Skill Tree], there is another large section called [Witch].

This section seems to be related to the skill "Witch Purification". Linda clicks on this module with her mind, and another system prompt pops up:

[Detected 1 recognized witch, do you want to bind? Current number of bound people: 0/1]

What is the use of binding a witch?

Linda entered her thoughts into the system's question-and-answer wizard.

Drop drop drop.

After a mechanical sound, a system message popped up:

[After binding with the witch, you can get different rewards by improving the depth of purification of the witch. Including but not limited to: mystery points, skill points, equipment, experience points, etc. ]

Purification...isn't that easy.

Linda glanced at the orc girl standing beside him with a cold expression.

Although the little hands were in his pockets and not taken out, he would not forget how sharp the pair of claws were.

If you purify the other party rashly, your life may be in danger.

Linda asked in her heart: What does the depth of purification mean? Is it not going to be a dirty trick?

System answer: [Whether to do H depends on the host's purification method, but from the perspective of efficiency, deep purification is recommended - that is, high-trust purification. ]

Linda: High Trust Cleanse? What is that?

Another mechanical busy tone.

System text appeared: [The higher the witch's trust in the host, the wider the door of the heart is opened, and the better the purification effect.

The following are the different levels of trust:

0Unfamiliar

10 A brief encounter

20 Nodding Acquaintance

30. Courtesy Greetings

40 Surface Friends

50 Ordinary Friends

60 Friends

70 Deep Feelings

80 Best Friends/Friendship between Guan and Bao

90 Single-minded

100 Until Death】

Linda discovered the blind spot.

He asked: What does the friendship between Guan and Bao mean?

System: #@%#￥……#…….

Linda understood.

That is to say, forced purification, ignoring the witch's personal will, and raising the trust level from 0 to 80 directly like pulling a carrot.

After flipping through the manual for a while, Linda gained a preliminary understanding.

This witch's purification skill will exert different powers depending on the witch's trust in him. If the trust is too low, it is necessary to increase the purification effect through high contact.

To sum up: trust + contact = purification.

Among them, the trust value of 80 is a relatively special level, which can be achieved in two ways. One is to slowly cultivate trust from 0 to 80.

The second type is simple violence.

Objectively speaking, the latter is a shortcut.

But correspondingly, the cost of taking shortcuts is terrible, and it is very likely that you will be locked at 80 forever and unable to go any further.

Linda figured out the nature of the witch purification section. To put it bluntly, it is similar to the favorability system.

You will receive rewards every time you reach a new level of favorability.

In the real secret world, it means mysterious points, skill points, equipment...

Linda silently said in his heart: "Untie!"

system hint:

[Currently recognized witch number: 1, bound, witch Lulu]

[Current Trust: -10, Slight Dislike]

[Reward: Mystery Points 100]

Linda was speechless.

Is there a negative trust score?

It would have been fine if it was just a negative number, but there was also a reward.

Linda felt like she was being given alms by the system.

"I don't know your name yet. To form a team, we need to know your name, right?"

Linda spoke to Lulu.

Theoretically, he didn't know Lulu's name, so he asked her and tried to establish a preliminary friendly relationship with this cold orc girl through conversation.

Telling each other your names is undoubtedly the first step in building trust.

Lulu glanced at him, probably thinking that what he said made sense, and said indifferently: "Lulu * Finard."

The first name is real, the last name is fake.

Linda thought to herself.

"I'm Richard and she's Kafni."

Linda gave an introduction.

[System prompt: Witch Lulu's trust in you +1, current trust, -9, slight disgust]

Seeing this message, Linda felt relieved.

Once he reaches the 'courtesy greeting' where his trust level increases by 30 points, you can probably make a request for purification.

30 points, it may not seem like much,

But it’s actually quite difficult when you think about it.

Given the current situation, Linda was worried that Lulu would bite off his and Kafni's throats in the middle of the night to silence them.

Lulu is also afraid of the mysterious "golden light" in Kafni's body, and is afraid that Kafni will kill her if she is not careful.

Joining the team temporarily is only a stopgap measure, and in essence we are still guarding against each other.

Chapter 52: Linda in the eyes of game characters

When Lulu plans to leave Baige City, she will definitely not let him and Kafni go.

Linda had to raise his trust level to over 30 points before that day came.

On the way back, I met some adventurers who had also returned from the wild.

Everyone was exhausted after a day of fighting monsters, and their leather boots were covered in dust.

Many adventurers carry oversized backpacks filled with valuable parts of monster corpses.

Although the most valuable thing is the magic core and the rest are just petty profits, low-level adventurers still have to cut those things up and bring them back to White Dove City to sell in order to make a living.

Linda and Kafni harvested dozens of magic cores on this trip, which is something adventurers of the same level would never dare to imagine.

"It's Mr. 'Eye of Wisdom'!"

"Are you here to defeat monsters as well?"

"I heard that you are going to set up a new adventure team. Can I join?"

Many adventurers greeted Linda, and Linda responded with a smile.

There were also some people who wanted to join his team, but their abilities seemed average, so he politely declined.

[System prompt: Witch Lulu's trust in you +3, current trust: -6, slight disgust]

Huh, it increased?
