After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Lin Da's gaze swept across the page.

The report detailed how not long ago, the 15th layer of the Great Mystery Continent was opened, and White Dove City's resource area was invaded once again by an Adventurers' Guild Sunrise Level adventure team from another city.

Abner and the others fought valiantly to the end but still failed to prevent the tragic fact that the resource area was plundered.

According to the unwritten rules among adventurers, if the local adventurers are unable to protect their resources area, the invaders have the right to take away seventy percent of it.

The World Tree Goddess's Material Bracelet has a high capacity. The higher up the floors one goes, the more Material Points it gives. Taking the 15th floor as an example, a normal adventure team can only fill one-twentieth of the Material Bracelet.

An exaggerated figure.

A top adventure team's harvest on the 15th floor can fill the entire Material Bracelet.

In other words, the resource acquisition is twenty times that of an ordinary adventure team.

Take Black Mamba City for instance, which is notoriously known as a 'plundering city.' The adventure teams from Black Mamba City are generally more powerful. Because of their geographical location, they were allotted a smaller resource area. To develop, they had no choice but to invade resource areas from other cities.

Like a strong warrior grown up in bitter cold, the average combat power of the adventurers from Black Mamba City ranked in the top 30 in Cangqing Province.

And the number of cities within the province is as high as 300!

It's worth mentioning that last year, according to the [Adventurers' Report] summary, White Dove City's overall city ranking was 204.

The Red Heart City where Dawen is from ranked 137, and South Rock City, Aiko's hometown, 109.

"The 15th layer was robbed again, how many times has it been now?."

Having finished reading the report, Lin Da felt no great fluctuation in mood; such incidents had long since become commonplace.

White Dove City, without protection from a Sunrise Level adventure team, was like a sweet bun, attracting adventure teams from many cities to come from far away 'to visit.' Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire

The 15th layer of the Great Mystery Continent was still a considerable distance away from Phoenix Tail Flower Team, so Lin Da's focus was on the 10th layer of the Great Mystery Continent, which was a few days ahead.

After finishing their meal, he and his teammates went to the training field offered by the Adventurers' Guild.

Here, there were professional training dummies, Illusion Techniques that simulated Magical Creatures, and the buildings were made of durable stone, not easily damaged.

The daily rent was 100 Gold Coins.

As a preferential measure from the Adventurers' Guild, teams above the Rock-level Squad were exempt from all fees.

Lin Da, as a newly promoted Rock-level Captain and an honorary adventurer, was not only exempted from payment but also had access to the private training field on the third floor.

Accompanied by effort and sweat, the time for training silently passed by.

By noon, Lin Da and his companions were just about to have a meal and rest.

Thump thump.

The voice of a Guild staffer came from the door:

"Captain Lin Da, the resource area allocation for Phoenix Tail Flower adventure team has been completed. The guildmaster invites you to handle the formalities."

"Coming!"

Lin Da perked up, forgetting all about hunger and fatigue.

The long-awaited notification of resource allocation had finally arrived.

Since Phoenix Tail Flower set foot on the 10th layer and started wearing the Rock-level badges, the Guild had been working on the allocation of a resource area.

No matter how rare the materials grown in the allocated resource area were, they belonged to Phoenix Tail Flower.

The materials in this kind of 'private land' were not contested by local adventurers. The only threat came from invaders from other cities.

Then there were the 'public areas.'

Public areas made up 99.9% of the Great Mystery Continent, and the materials found within were deemed ownerless.

First come, first served for those who find them and the strong take precedence.

In the public areas, it was a matter of survival of the fittest!

As long as an adventure team was strong enough, they could reap a massive amount of resources and Gold Coins within the Great Mystery Continent.

On the seventh floor, in the guildmaster's office.

"Lin Da, this area is the resource area allocated to the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team. Take a look."

Weylon stood from the chair behind his desk and warmly ushered Lin Da to a map.

It was a map near the World Tree Teleportation Point in White Dove City on the 10th layer of the Great Mystery Continent.

Each area was colored differently according to the level of danger it presented.

Green represented safety, the deeper the yellow, the more dangerous.

Ninety percent of the area was yellow.

To the south, White Dove City, South Rock City, and Red Heart City formed an encirclement, and in the wide central area was a forest. Deep within the forest was a bright red, startling to the eyes.

It signified extreme danger!

Weylon served a cup of tea to Lulu, grabbed a handful of chocolate-cream candies for Monica, and even invited Monica to sit in the genuine leather chair behind his own desk.

It was evident that the guildmaster treated the Phoenix Tail Flower adventure team quite courteously.

Monica's youthful appearance brought out a kinder side in the nearly fifty-year-old Weylon. Upon hearing Monica crisply say thank you, grandfather, Weylon's heart warmed, and he laughed heartily, petting Monica's head:

"If you ever run into trouble, come find Grandpa. I'll take care of it for you."

"Mm, mmhmm." Monica, a little frightened by Weylon, came down from the chair and ran to Lin Da's side, holding her candies.

"What a shy girl." Weylun commented with a smile.

His gaze shifted to Lin Da, but he noticed that Lin Da's attention remained fixated on the red area of the Central Forest.

Weylon earnestly cautioned, "Lin Da, I know it's your first time leading a team into the 10th layer and you're excited, but that place is strictly off-limits."

"Dragon Forest, the most dangerous place within thousands of miles of White Dove City, forbids the use of Teleportation Stones and Town Portal Scrolls in its depths, and adventurers have reported observing the presence of dragons there! For such Magical Creatures, Epic Level is just the beginning. It's not just Rock-level Adventure Teams that should avoid the depths of the Dragon Forest, even Iron Level teams often venture there never to return!"

Weylon's advice came from a place of genuine concern.

Lin Da returned from his thoughts and offered a smile: "Guildmaster, you worry too much, I was just taking a look. I wouldn't dare venture into such a dangerous place."

"That's good. Phoenix Tail Flower is a potential powerhouse of White Dove City, and I wouldn't want to see anything happen to you all." Recalling another matter, Weylon added, "By the way, have you and Isa formed an alliance?"
