Chapter 227: 202, Phoenix Tail Flower connects to the sixth, seventh, and eighth layers of the World Tree.
By noon, all the rock-level squads had received invitations from the Phoenix Tail Flower Team.
“Is it held tomorrow? The timing is a bit tight, Folie, you go on behalf of our team, I won't attend.”
Robert, the leader of the Valiant Adventure Team was practicing his swordsmanship in the courtyard, sweating profusely.
As a team on the verge of reaching the 14th floor and soon to become an Iron Level team, sending Vice-Captain Folie to attend the Phoenix Tail Flower's promotion party was already giving considerable respect.
It was the Phoenix Tail Flower Team after all.
For other ordinary level-20 adventure teams, Robert even planned to just have Folie make an appearance, deliver the gift, and then come back.
Captains sharing Robert's thoughts were not few.
They had preparations for challenging the Mystic Realm or had scheduled to go hunting Magical Creatures outside.
A large part of them planned to send gifts in advance. They wouldn't attend the next day.
As long as the intention was conveyed, it would suffice.
Modern adventurers consider those old-fashioned traditions increasingly unimportant, viewing them as relics of the older generation.
Surely Lin Da, a youngster of this new era, could understand their reasons for not attending?
By the afternoon.
At least seventy percent of adventure team leaders thought this way.
But come the afternoon…
It turned out to be an unexpected twist.
The three members of Phoenix Tail Flower Team, originally planning to relax and enjoy the day in town, received news from the Blacksmith Shop that the Murderous Crab series equipment was ready.
Empowered by their new equipment, Lin Da and his teammates decided to test their strength at the World Tree.
They brought the sensor ladybug and started a live broadcast for the attackers.
The 5th level of the Great Mystery Continent hadn't opened yet, but that didn't hinder them from entering the 6th level through the Teleportation Array.
Then, in just one hour…
Lin Da and his team had fought their way from the 6th floor to the 8th floor.
They annihilated all the hidden Magical Creatures on three floors.
Their equipment burst forth numerous orange items.
At that moment, in the hall of the Adventurer's Guild.
“Oh dear, seeing Lia got me so excited, I forgot to ask where Lin Da lives.”
Xilin pouted, laying her body across a table, looking like a dried salted fish.
She lackadaisically drank orange juice with a straw, complaining to the housekeeper-like Lady Bai Mian beside her:
“Even a dummy like Lia knew to buy a gift for her brother, my brother hasn't fallen for Lia and started ignoring me, has he?”
Her tone was sour.
Xilin twisted and turned on the table, transforming from a salted fish into a sour lemon.
“Uh… your subordinate thinks, probably not. According to my investigation, Lin Da is an adventurer who values affection and loyalty; he surely has you in his heart.”
Lady Bai Mian, sweating profusely, responded.
Are all Twelve Belongings this eccentric?
Lady Bai Mian speculated internally; the last one was relentlessly tyrannical, and the newly arrived Xilin was obsessed with her brother?
And she wouldn't let her capture Lin Da.
Was she trying to engage in some nurturing play?
At that moment…
“Look, it's Lin Da, the Eye of True Knowledge!”
An adventurer near the magic crystal screen in the hall excitedly raised his axe.
“What, what?”
“Where's my brother?”
Xilin sat up anxiously; if Lin Da recognized her true identity, she would definitely be in for a severe scolding like never before!
That kind of thing must never happen!
Xilin carefully looked towards the source of the sound, in the middle of the hall, where a giant screen made up of three magic screens suddenly lit up.
Appearing on it was a person she was all too familiar with: Lin Da.
Unexpectedly, the Phoenix Tail Flower Team had whimsically headed to the World Tree and started their strategy live broadcast without notifying the Guild.
At this moment, the adventurers noticed Lin Da, and the staff then projected the Phoenix Tail Flower's live strategy on the giant screen in the center.
“It turned out to be just the screen, scared me to death.”
Xilin held her chest and took a long sigh of relief.
She rested her chin on her hands and smiled cheerily as she watched the tall man on the screen, his spade-like tail wrapped around his waist under his skirt, twisting excitedly, a sense of pride welling up inside her: Look, that man is my brother!
Through the White Dove Morning News, Xilin had learned that Lin Da had switched his job to become a Healing Mage, which was a very formidable profession.
Even better, the Demon King loved when strong human adventurers defected to his side.
Xilin fully believed that with Lin Da's knowledge of the Mystic Continent, just by coming over to the Demon King's side, he would at least start as a Demon General and with a bit of effort, become one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
The screen showed Lin Da attacking the eighth layer's hidden boss, the Silver-Maned Lion.
The Silver-Maned Lion, an orange rare, Level 20, with 100,000 health points.
Lin Da, behind an emerald Light Shield, single-handedly blocked all attacks from the Silver-Maned Lion, a beast five meters in length.
Not only did he handle it effortlessly, but he also used this hidden boss as a training tool for his squad, honing the cooperation among his team members.
He also taught many adventurers outside the screen how to fight the Silver-Maned Lion.
Lin Da was composed and methodical in his explanation:
“First like this… then like this… and then like this.”
“And then you can easily defeat a Level 20 Silver-Maned Lion.”
Lin Da's explanation was straightforward and easy to understand.
As long as the team members of the adventure team were high enough in level, following his strategy would generally guarantee success.
In other words, copying his homework.
“What's happening, why are there so many people in the Adventurers' Guild today? Is there an event?”
Folie, the vice-captain of the Valiant Adventure Team, puzzled, rubbed his bald head as his brown whip-like beard swayed back and forth under his chin.
Folie looked puzzled toward the middle of the hall: a group of adventurers shouting excitedly, rivaling a popular female adventurer's fan meet.
This time out, Folie had been tasked with buying gifts for the Phoenix Tail Flower Team.
Captain Robert had given him 1,120 Gold Coins to buy 'light gifts with heavy sentiment' for the keepsakes.
Now, as they were planning to attempt the 14th level, Valiant's external expenses were to be minimized whenever possible.
Folie was busy himself, planning to refine his Ultimate Skill… He planned to attend the Phoenix Tail Flower's party tomorrow, stand for half an hour, complete all the rituals, and then sneak away.
He believed that Captain Lin Da, being broad-minded, would understand.
“Hurry up, I heard that the Phoenix Tail Flower has reached the eighth level already, if we don't go now we'll miss it!”
“Let's go, let's go, I am currently stuck on the sixth level, with Lin Da's live strategy now I can also move up.”
“Eye of True Knowledge is awesome!”
Beside Folie, three adventurers rushed by hurriedly.
Hearing their conversation, a thought struck Folie: Is it the Phoenix Tail Flower's live strategy?
He only knew that the Phoenix Tail Flower had reached level 21, but he wasn't aware of their actual strength.
Interest immediately piqued within him.
Reaching the broadcasting station in the hall, Folie looked up just in time to see Lin Da unleashing his Ultimate Skill.
A purple energy dragon roared out from the Array in front of Lin Da.
It lunged towards the Silver-Maned Lion with bared claws, biting down on it.
The Silver-Maned Lion cried out in pain, blasted several meters away by the energy dragon, its claws digging deep trenches in the ground.
Folie analyzed in his mind: “The Silver-Maned Lion… looks quite weakened, probably has about 40,000 points of Life Barrier thickness. Lin Da hit for 10,000, his team members finishing it with their Ultimates could take it out in one round.”
Indeed, as the seasoned vice-captain of the Rock-Level, Folie's insight into damage assessment was almost always spot-on.
