Chapter 621: 452, All members’ skills evolve, combat power increases
Hearing Lin Da’s words, Abner’s eyes showed a hint of hesitation.
How could he not desire a slot for enlightenment?
Even the most even-tempered adventurer couldn’t remain composed in the face of the Buti Tree.
“Then I shall humbly comply,” Abner said with a serious face, “From now on, no matter what, the White Dove Adventure Group will fully support you.”
Lin Da smiled and nodded.
With that, four people had been chosen to comprehend the Buti Tree.
Only one spot remained.
the captain of the Valiant Adventure Team, Robert, felt a bit awkward.
Though Valiant did indeed come to provide support this time, their role was insignificant.
Compared to the White Dove Adventure Group, they were far less influential.
Robert was immensely envious of the Buti Tree.
But the rational side of his mind told him that Lin Da’s allotment of slots to Abner and the others wasn’t simply due to “support.”
The two girls might be Lin Da’s Oath-bound.
Abner’s White Dove had provided significant help to the Phoenix Tail Flower, with a close relationship between them.
All things considered, it was for these reasons the Phoenix Tail Flower had relinquished three slots.
Robert had one advantage—he could recognize his limitations.
It was this pragmatism that kept the casualties in his adventure team low and allowed them to steadily reach the Iron Level.
Without waiting for Lin Da to show any difficulty, Robert took the initiative: “About the Buti Tree’s slots, you all decide. Valiant will just take some materials.” The most update n0vels are published on noⅴelfire.net
This spared Lin Da any embarrassment, and he readily offered, “Among the supplies requested from Red Heart City, there’s an Epic Four-Star, level 30 spear; I will give it to you.”
“Epic Four-Star?” Robert’s eyes lit up with joy.
Valiant had only recently risen to the Iron Level and their equipment was sorely lacking, mainly consisting of rare level 20 orange gear.
A gift of an Epic Four-Star spear from Lin Da was worth more than all of their equipment combined, prompting Robert to grin from ear to ear.
Upon hearing about the Epic spear, his team members also showed delighted smiles.
Although this support mission had its dangers, it was less strenuous than hunting Magical Creatures.
All things considered, Valiant had earned a significant bounty.
Thus, the candidates for the Buti Tree were: Lin Da, Lia, Isa, and Abner.
One last slot remained.
Lin Da looked towards his own team members.
Anna was the first to raise her hand, smiling, “Lord Captain, may I be chosen?”
As she spoke, Lulu and others who had been eagerly anticipating turned silent.
The second strongest in the team, Anna was the most suitable candidate for the slot.
After considering for a moment, Lin Da said, “Your skills are quite perfect already, enhancing them would be just gilding the lily.”
His gaze shifted to the other members.
Monica: “Lord Captain, could you give this slot to Sister Lulu?”
Lin Da was already inclined to do so and asked with a smile, “Why’s that?”
“Sister Lulu deals with all the miscellaneous tasks of Phoenix Tail Flower, she’s the hardest working among us.”
Handling external business affairs, daily financial expenses, and all sorts of troublesome tasks fell to Lulu.
Tasya also said, “The heavy armored warriors and backline of Phoenix Tail Flower are strong enough, what we lack is a top-notch warrior. Considering the team’s overall combat power, Lulu would be highly suitable.”
“You guys…” Lulu was a bit embarrassed being praised like that.
Anna, through this conversation, recognized who had the highest standing in Lin Da’s heart.
“This feeling of being overlooked… argh, it’s time for another upgrade!” Anna felt a surge of warmth flowing inside her.
“Lulu, the slot is yours,” Lin Da extended his hand, “Let’s go see just how miraculous this Buti Tree is together!”
“Okay.” Lulu pursed her lips and placed her hand in Lin Da’s.
Watching the two walk together, a sour undertone spread through the crowd as if a jar of vinegar had been overturned.
Lin Da glanced sideways at Aiko puffing her cheeks and Isa with a face of “I’m not concerned,” while his empty right hand was quite awkward.
His hand, was not enough.
“Wonder if I could learn some tentacle Skills in the future to solve the issue of not having enough hands.”
For now, Lin Da braved the odd glances from the two girls and walked toward the Golden Tree with Lulu.
Halfway there, he suddenly blinked.
Could there be a third sour gaze?
Turning back, he saw a wise-looking redhead girl behind him.
“What’s wrong?” Lia averted her gaze guiltily.
It must have been an overreaction.
Lin Da shook his head secretly; he had already given a Buti Tree slot to Lia, so why would she be sour?
Back when Snow Goose was present, even a slight touch from him would get him pushed away.
It wasn’t possible that Lia wanted to hold hands and play some ‘good friends’ game.
As he held Lulu’s cool, soft hand with relish, that strange sour feeling appeared once more…
He turned his head and the gaze disappeared.
Turning back, it reappeared.
“This is nuts,” Lin Da muttered to himself.
It wasn’t until they neared the Golden Tree that the strange feeling vanished.
“This is the eleventh-ranked miracle in the Great Mystery Continent, the Buti Tree.”
Lin Da looked up at the golden boughs and leaves.
The Golden Tree stood twenty meters tall, with a trunk as thick as two people hugging, every inch of it radiating a golden light.
The five stood around the Buti Tree in a circle, their faces showing amazement.
“So comfortable…” Isa said softly.
The golden light was like a mother’s tender caress, stroking their entire bodies.
Each inch of injury and fatigue within them dissipated in the golden radiance.
The onlookers, seeing the comfort on their faces, all felt envious.
This was a powerful miracle capable of elevating an Eight-Star adventurer to Nine Stars.
Aiko, feeling quite sour, thought that with this, the little redhead would once again become the strongest of Snow Goose.
