After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Level up to 97, acquire new skills.

Lulu stared blankly at her hands.

She could clearly feel that the strength of her body had increased.

This kind of improvement in talent usually only happened when opening an extremely rare treasure chest in the World Tree Secret Realm or by using epic-level items.

Yet, she had only had a dream, been taught a lesson by that detestable captain dozens of times, and her talent had increased?

Did she actually possess such a miraculous gift?

With her mouth agape in surprise, Lulu felt for the first time in her life that she was a genius.

She lay back on the bed, hoping to dream again and encounter the Dark Shadow.

As long as she could become stronger, being tormented was no big deal.

But no matter what, she couldn't dream about the other party anymore.

“Will it happen tomorrow?”

Lulu tossed and turned on the bed, too excited to sleep.

She secretly thought that the next time she battled the Dark Shadow, she would try to block the third move before going down!

[System Prompt: Dream guidance successful, team member Lulu's basic attributes have increased: Strength +100, Defense +20, Agility +10!]

Inside the carriage, Lin Da slowly opened his eyes.

“Strength increased by 100? This guidance session was very successful.”

He opened the main interface of the squad module and clicked on Lulu's avatar, bringing up a simplified attribute bar.

In this attribute bar, he could see the basic attribute values of the team members without their equipment.

Member: Lulu

Profession: Frost Wolf Warrior*Mage

Level: 25

Hit Points: 3000

Magic Power: 90

Strength: 750

Defense: 100

Magic Defense: 95

Agility: 99

Lin Da memorized the data and thought to himself that perhaps after Lulu became a mage, her strength attribute growth had significantly increased. Together with the 100 strength from his dream guidance, she had reached a terrifying 750.

A typical warrior profession at this level would only have around 400 strength.

And calculating his own Healing Hero panel, after crossing the two major thresholds at levels 10 and 20 and reaching level 25, the magic power was estimated to be around 650.

Healing professions naturally had lower magic attributes; for a Healing Hero to reach this value was already considered very high.

The greatest strengths of this profession were still the dual defense and health points.

Lin Da, currently at level 8, had a basic health point total of 1800. Lulu at level 25 had only 3000.

In contrast, Lulu's burst output was very high.

“After going berserk, Lulu can be cultivated as the core of the offense.”

“In the future, spend more Diamonds on purchasing Strength Guidance Tickets to use on Lulu.”

Lin Da planned to develop this Beastman girl into an existence that surpassed that of a five-star level character.

He then opened up another team member, Monica's, attributes to take a look.

Member: Monica

Profession: Earth Mage

Level: 15

Hit Points: 1300

Magic Power: 370

Strength: 5

Defense: 15

Magic Defense: 15

Agility: 10

After looking, Lin Da massaged his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

The magic power value for Monica was as high as 370, high enough to be considered an extraordinary talent at a glance.

But her hit points and all other attributes… were too low.

Scratched by a Magical Creature of the same level, she would immediately become a black and white icon.

“Since hit points growth is so low, instead of increasing health, it's better to play to strengths and continue increasing magic power, turning her into a human-shaped Magic Cannon.”

“As a backline position, Monica has the protection of me as a Healing Hero, which can ensure her safety to the greatest extent.”

Lin Da made future training plans for these two team members.

As for Kafni, let's leave it to fate.

This guy, not being included in the list of team members, is more like a mascot…

Half an hour later.

“Phew, Monica's dream guidance has also ended.”

Lin Da let out a sigh.

This time, the dream guidance primarily enhanced Monica's magic attributes and changed her introverted nature.

He set the dreamscape to a lively festival, holding the shy Monica's hand and wandering through the crowd, training until she could walk under the daylight without a cardboard box, even without the Dark Shadow character scaring her to tears several times.

But overall, the guidance was successful. When it was time to go to White Dove City, Monica probably wouldn't need the cardboard box anymore.

A system prompt appeared: [Dream guidance successful, team member Monica's basic attributes have increased: Magic Power +100, Hit Points +100]

“Not bad.”

Lin Da smiled as he stroked Monica in her sleep.

The girl restlessly clutched her blanket, mumbling 'where has the captain gone' in her sleep.

With the outbreak of the Murderous Crab frenzy, Monica, the Earth Mage, would demonstrate great advantages.

Murderous Crabs were weak against earth system magic, exactly what Monica could counter.

Although team member kills did not give Lin Da any experience points, the Demon Cores from the Murderous Crabs could be exchanged for gold coins, boosting the overall strength of the team.

[System Prompt: Today's sign-in has been refreshed]

The system time in the upper right corner showed 0:20.

Lin Da entered the Back House.

Inside, three chibi team members snored away.

In the middle of the little cabin, a golden Cornucopia was filled with sparkling and translucent diamonds.

Lin Da clicked to collect.

[System Prompt: You've obtained 340 diamonds!]

[Current Balance: 2840 diamonds!]

Lin Da used 2000 diamonds to buy a teddy bear furniture, for the chibi version of Monica to hold.

The mood value above Monica's head changed from a green +20% to a +30%.

The daily sign-in could now yield a diamond amount that, with the mood boost from the teddy bear and Monica, increased by 380.

Then, Lin Da clicked on Hell Rift, entering a dark arena page.

[System Prompt: Your adventure team has passed level 28, obtaining 4000 diamonds!]

A mail icon on the bottom right corner was flashing, and Lin Da collected 4000 diamonds from within.

The chibi version of the adventure team, which was originally stuck at level 28, defeated the three-headed fire-breathing dogs and advanced to level 29, with Lulu and Monica each boosting their attributes.

The round arena turned into a withered yellow grassland, and a centaur whose eyes were blood-red and clad in armor stepped out from the magic circle.

Lulu was beaten so hard that she fell off her horse.

After the team got wiped out, it would automatically restart, like in an idle game that kept playing itself.

Lin Da watched for a while and realized that the main reasons for failure were insufficient levels and too few team members, lacking a front-row member with a taunting skill to attract the enmity of the magical creatures.

Monica, at level 15, faced the level 29 centaur and was instantly reduced to zero health points by its large sword, becoming a soul floating on the battlefield.

Lulu managed to kill one centaur in a one-on-one fight, but there were still three left.

She was overwhelmed, fought until exhaust, and perished.

The red 'Failed' sign appeared on the interface, and after waiting three seconds, the mini-game automatically restarted.

Every attempt ended the same way; even Lulu as a witch had a hard time defeating four level 29 centaurs.

“We're stuck,” Lin Da concluded.

It had nothing to do with the team members' skills; they were simply crushed by the numbers.

He shook his head and exited the system interface.

Too bad he couldn't join the team and enter the battlefield himself.

All he could do was allocate skill points to his team members and then set their combat modes to things like [Offense Oriented], [Defense Oriented], [Adaptability], etc.

After pondering for a while, Lin Da decided to level up.

He was now preparing to challenge the hidden boss, and the Murderous Crab frenzy was also going to erupt in ten days; leveling up was urgent.

Adventurers reach a minor turning point at level 10, which was something he needed right now.

“Mystical Points, level me up!”

Lin Da silently uttered, transforming 4200 Mystical Points into Experience Points.

Two streaks of golden light consecutively fell upon him.

A sense of abundant power emerged within him, and in the night sky of his spiritual world, two stars were illuminated, perfectly encircling the core.

[System Prompt: You have reached level 9, strength +13, magic power +13, defense +2, magic defense +3, agility +2, hit points +200]

[System Prompt: Congratulations, you have reached level 10!]

[Strength +50, magic power +50, defense +20, magic defense +30, agility +20, hit points +600!]

[You have acquired two skill points]

[Poison Technique Series and Recovery Series have unlocked new skills: Toxin Mastery, Verdant Shield]

Upon reaching level 10, Lin Da's attribute points more than doubled, with his dual attack increasing from 103 to 166, and his hit points added by 600, amounting to 2400 in total.

This base hit point count was almost higher than all frontline professions of the same level.

Lin Da thought of Monica's pitiful 1300 hit points and wished he could lend her some of his own…

He clicked on the personal page and went to the skill tree.

Adventurers unlock stronger profession skills at level 10.

At level 20, they unlock ultimate skills with explosive outputs.

It was because of these features that levels 10 and 20 became thresholds dividing adventurers.

Lin Da had two skill trees and unlocked two skills by reaching level 10.

The Poison Technique Series called Toxin Mastery.

The effect was simple and overbearing, directly enhancing the damage of Poison Technique Series skills.

Lin Da had 4 skill points at hand and invested 2 into it.

[Toxin Mastery lv2: Increases poison damage by 20%]

The base damage of the Venom Magic Sphere was now roughly around 320, ticking once every second for a total of 6 ticks, and with the boost from Toxin Mastery, the single-damage reached 384.

The total damage of one Venom Magic Sphere was equivalent to four Fireball Techniques at the same level!

Monica, being such a fragile caster, would be gone with just one hit from a Venom Magic Sphere…

The second skill was Verdant Shield from the Recovery Series.

As Lin Da read the skill description, his heart gradually grew hot.

He immediately clicked to add points!

[System Prompt: You have learned the skill: Verdant Shield!]

[Skill: Verdant Shield]

[Quality: Purple Rare]

[Type: Common Skill]

[Consumption: Low]

[Proficiency: lv1 Basic]

[Effect: Grants a magic shield equal to 30% of the user's maximum hit points to a target]

The power of Verdant Shield was to apply a shield to someone else.

However, the thickness of this shield was determined by Lin Da's maximum hit points.

And the greatest strength of a Healing Hero was having a large amount of hit points!

Without wearing any magical equipment, Lin Da already had 2400 hit points.

One Verdant Shield could provide 720 points of shield.

For a fragile mage like Monica with only 1300 total hit points, this was substantial.

Once Lin Da equipped a full set of level 10 gear, his hit points would further increase, as would the shield's thickness!

This was the true strength of a Healing Hero, with exaggerated survivability and being very tanky himself.

With Lin Da present, the survival rate of fragile backline members greatly increased.

He continued to study for a while.

Verdant Shield had two caveats: the shield lasted for 10 minutes, and it couldn't be stacked.

Lin Da saved the remaining skill point and lay down satisfied to sleep.
