After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Inside the cave.

Through suggestions, Lin Da had a rough understanding of the situation at the scene.

Hulus was captured.

Rhode dared not say a word.

For the time being, both adventure teams would definitely behave themselves.

If they dared to make another move, it wouldn't require Lin Da's intervention, as President Velen would handle Hulus.

If they were lucky, and could uncover a connection between Hulus and the assassin, Hulus would soon meet the guillotine.

Lin Da thought, in the game, by completing the side quest "Annihilate the Specter Adventure Group," a decent-quality skill book would drop. If he killed Hulus, would it 'drop' in some way as well?

That skill book, in the late game, was quite ordinary.

But in the early to mid-game, before level 40, it was quite useful.

Instead of Hulus mounting the guillotine, Lin Da would rather he 'dropped' gold coins.

Moreover, he wasn't planning on simply letting the Specter go; Hulus being captured wasn't enough. Kafni had turned into a real Scrap God and it was unknown how long she would need to recover.

Lin Da couldn't eliminate the Specter just yet, but he could still make them lose a chunk of their strength.

This time, when he subdued the Goblin Prince, he advanced to level 25 and acquired the epic weapon, Sword of Royalty.

Outside, there was also the forging of the epic armor "Magic Dragon Soft Armor."

With two pieces of epic equipment and his secret trump card, the "Death Crab Pincer," he might stand a chance against ordinary Star Rank opponents.

Lin Da was brewing a cold and calculated plan against the Specter.

He had heard that Hulus had a younger brother named Kam, who had just reached level 30.

Before the Phoenix Tail Flower promotion party, Hulus had thrown a celebration party for Kam's Star Rank.

Now, with Hulus behind bars, the Specter was like a dragon without a head.

Lin Da didn't mind taking this opportunity to do some things that would make Hulus 'happy.'

Outwardly, the Phoenix Tail Flower hadn't achieved Star Rank yet, and didn't pose a threat to the Specter.

But the truth was, Lin Da had a bunch of diamonds and could promote Lulu to Star Rank at any moment!

Returning from his thoughts.

Lin Da slapped his head, remembering something.

"Right, I haven't done 'that' yet."

He looked toward the eager-faced young girls and smiled as he stretched out his hand.

Every adventure team did something similar after successfully subduing magical creatures.

Lia was the first to understand.

She was ready to stack her small hand on top of Lin Da's.

Making the 'oh, oh, yay' cheering gesture.

As a mature adventurer, Lia seldom did such elementary school actions anymore.

But today was different.

The first time subduing an epic-level magical creature.

It would definitely make it to the renowned "Adventurer's Weekly."

Millions of adventurers across the province would see her valor!

Lia was certain that this cheering gesture would be caught by the photographers and make it into the newspapers.

So, despite it not suiting her mature adventurer's image, she still joined Lin Da in making the gesture.

"It's not your turn yet." Lulu furrowed her brows and pushed Lia away, being the second to stack her hand on top.

Lia: ?

It's directed at me, right?

Isa whispered, "We're from the external team, by the rules, we have to wait for the Phoenix Tail Flower Team to place their hands first before it's our turn."

Well...

Lia hadn't done this for a while and almost forgot about it.

Previously, she was always the first to reach out, without needing to consider such rules.

After Lulu and Monica successively placed their hands, Lia weirdly stretched out her hand.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She felt that the barrier was getting thicker.

Through the thick layer, Lin Da's face seemed blurred.

When Isa also placed her hand.

Five of them pressed down together twice.

"Oh! Oh! Yay!"

Their hands shot up, just like birds taking flight.

"The Epic Demon Creature, successfully vanquished!"

Lin Da said with a smile.

Hearing this exhilarating statement, everyone else also started to laugh.

The displeasure on Lia's face disappeared.

She thought about how to handle the reporters coming to interview them.

Not only was she honored with the "Vanquish of the Epic Demon Creature" title, she was also able to use Lin Da's money to pay off all her debts.

As agreed, Lin Da would give her 300,000 Gold Coins and add an orange weapon.

They returned fully loaded.

She guessed that Aiko and the others would now respect her as a competent leader.

Lin Da then looked towards the circle of girls.

He was too tall, making Lia and the others seem shorter.

It was like a teacher leading a group of elementary school students on an outing, now getting ready to call roll for the trip home.

Monica tilted her little head up, her big eyes sparkling brightly.

Lulu's face showed no emotion, but her swinging large tail gave her away. Like Monica, she was longing for something.

It was a custom of the Primitive Adventure Team.

At the end of each expedition, the leader would pat the members' heads as a form of encouragement.

When Lulu and Monica were with Primitive, the times their heads were patted were few.

Now there were only three people in the team, and Kafni was still unconscious.

Lulu and Monica eagerly anticipated a pat.

This, of course, was something Lin Da would not refuse.

In the game, "Head Patting" involved touching a cold mouse.

But now, in front of Lin Da, were two genuinely beautiful girls.

Whether it was the shy Big Lolita Monica or the cool-faced Werewolf Lulu, both were extremely pleasing to the eye, filling Lin Da with delight.

Who could resist a werewolf's furry big ears! He could touch them all day and not get bored.

Lin Da's eyes twinkled with amusement as he reached out towards Monica and Lulu.

He placed his hands on the girls' heads, gently stroking them, and accompanied by encouraging words, "You two did well, I'm proud of both of you!"

"Hehehe." Monica hugged her Magic Wand, comfortably squinting her eyes and letting out a cute and silly laugh.

Lulu's face blushed slightly, and her beast ears twitched as she was openly patted on the head, seemingly a bit embarrassed.

But the more Lulu reacted like this, the more Lin Da found it amusing, vigorously patting her head.

The light blue fuzz of Lulu's beast ears rubbed against his palm.

Soft, silky, and still carrying a hint of a young girl's warmth.

Even a cold little face has warm ears on top. Enjoy new tales from empire

If it weren't for the crowd, Lin Da would have grabbed Lulu's beast ears and teased her.

Until Lulu could hardly stand, her body going weak, and she glared fiercely at Lin Da, did he sheepishly withdraw his hand.

Somewhat inexplicably.

Patting heads privately, and patting in public— the latter was much more enjoyable.

The drawback was that he could pat freely in private, but could only pat briefly in public.

Lin Da looked at his right hand, feeling conflicted.

Little did he know, the suggestions had already turned into a lemon plantation.

Even through the sensor ladybug, one could smell the sourness.

A certain silver-haired maid saw Lin Da's signature move, and her eyes fluctuated violently.

"I want..."

Tasya gazed stiffly at the screen displaying the two being patted, like a dog lured by barbecue on the roadside, unable to move.

Her hands, covered in white silk gloves, clutched tightly at the big pocket in front of her maid's dress.

Her rosy lips parted slightly, uttering an unconscious mutter.

A strong wave of jealousy surged up in Tasya's heart.

She too wanted to be by Lin Da's side, to be "Head Pat" and enjoy the reassuring warmth of Lin Da's hands!
