After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

This flaunting flavor...

Lin Da sighed in his heart.

"In the future, I have to learn a silencing spell to shut Lia's mouth. As soon as she opens it, people can't help but dislike her," he thought.

Once the people from Snow Goose disappeared in the blue transport light, he turned to look at Lulu and Monica.

The two teammates were dressed uniformly, in white shirts paired with black skirts; inside was a fixed array that ensured no wardrobe malfunctions during intense battles.

And on the breast of the shirt, there was a brown, circular team emblem with a background of a white dove in flight, and the main image being a blue Phoenix Tail Flower.

Lin Da smiled and said, "Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, depart!"

The three of them entered the large cave beneath the World Tree and disappeared in the blue transport light.

...

The tenth floor of the World Tree, "Tawny Wilderness."

The enormous sun shone down from overhead, and in comparison to White Dove City in winter, it was quite the tropical savannah.

From a bird's eye view, the tenth-layer landscape was primarily plains, littered with what seemed to be Mondale Trees, resembling maple trees.

This type of tree had excellent drought resistance, with sparse orange leaves growing on its branches. Under each leaf, there was a round fruit about the size of a thumb's pad, looking remarkably like golden jujubes.

Besides the Mondale Trees, the most common vegetation was thorny bushes and a large number of tumbleweeds. Sometimes, venomous snakes would hide within, causing adventurers great harm.

At this time, under a Mondale Tree, a tall adventurer cast his Dark Whip, plucking a handful of Mondale fruits.

He shared the fruits with his two teammates, and he also took one, wiped it clean, and threw it into his mouth.

Enjoying the sweet juice splashing in his mouth, Lin Da cheerfully said:

"If you're thirsty, just eat these. Mondale Tree fruits are not cheap in the outside world, costing a silver coin for a handful. Many adventure teams don't dare explore the public areas, so they gather Mondale Tree fruits in the resource areas, put them into their Material Bracelets, and sell them in the outside world."

While eating the Mondale Tree fruits, he casually inculcated their value.

"Wow, so sweet," Monica bit into one, holding her cheeks in her hands, her eyes sparkling.

Lulu also said, "Tastes good."

"Of course, they're fresh off the tree," Lin Da replied.

Lin Da grabbed a handful of Mondale Tree fruits and raised his right hand to scan them with the silver Material Bracelet on his wrist.

In the middle of the bracelet was a tiny, pale green gem.

The gem released light that fell upon the Mondale Tree fruits.

A row of ancient texts appeared: [Mondale Tree Fruits: 100 pieces, consuming 1 Material Point, proceed with storage? Current Material Points: 0/1000]

Lulu raised an eyebrow: "Lin Da, let's not take these fruits, shall we? They take up too much space."

The Material Bracelet's points, since the Phoenix Tail Flower arrived at level 10, had increased from a limit of 100 to 1000, meaning that before midnight today, they could collect materials worth up to 1000 points at most.

Anything beyond that, even if placed into the Space Ring, would disappear the moment they left the Great Mystery Continent.

This was a limitation set by the World Tree Goddess to prevent some insatiable people from stripping the World Tree bare.

However, the World Tree Goddess was also generous.

A full 1000 Material Points, refreshed daily; only a very few adventure teams could expend all the points.

Lin Da gently tapped Lulu's head, "Are all Beastmen so greedy? With our team's strength, we can't even fill this Material Bracelet. Things are not the same as 'before,' where we could reap until we could hold no more, and even had to throw away some less valuable items."

"These Mondale Tree fruits only cost 1 point, let's take them back for our own use. It's also a great side dish for a certain someone resting at home."

"Oh..." Lulu nodded, "Then let's take them with us."

After collecting the Mondale Tree fruits, Lin Da unfolded the map and used the compass to confirm their direction.

Their transmission point was near the World Tree in White Dove City.

"The west... That's the spot. We're in luck, it won't take more than twenty minutes to reach the Phoenix Tail Flower resource area."

As Lin Da spoke, he untied a small cage from his waist, which contained several sensor ladybugs fluttering around chaotically.

It was 12:01, and he had to start his strategy live stream.

Lin Da transferred his magic power to a sensor ladybug, and the insect immediately started to fly around with great enthusiasm.

The external magic screens all lit up.

Adventurers who had been waiting enthusiastically sent in their suggestions.

[Finally started, yippee!]

[Captain Lin Da, teach us how to harvest rare materials, preferably those worth over 100,000 Gold Coins.]

[I'd actually like to see the Phoenix Tail Flower Team fight a Wilderness Guardian.]

[I hope Monica and the others get attacked by Tentacle Flowers!]

[Actually, I'd rather see Captain Lin Da get tied up by the Tentacle Flower, have his clothes corroded by the slime, and entangle his...]

[Where do all these perverts come from? Continuing like this will get the World Tree Goddess to cut off the live stream!]

[Elf spring cottages grand opening sale, 30% off for half a month before and after the Winter Festival, Beastmen enjoy an additional discount on top of that!]

Lin Da held a ladybug in his hand and watched with an amused expression as suggestions rapidly flitted across the small crystal screen on the ladybug's belly.

It's not clear if it's because tall trees catch much wind, but the Phoenix Tail Flower had gained a lot of unconventional fans, from advertisers to those who wanted to see them assaulted by Tentacle Flowers.

Tentacle Flowers, a high-level magical creature that doesn't harm adventurers. They especially like to corrode the clothes of adventurers and then inject pollen into the holes.

Being attacked by Tentacle Flowers won't be a problem for an adventurer's life, but it might result in the birth of a new life.

Lin Da couldn't help but laugh and cry, "I suggest that girls stay away from Tentacle Flowers; being preyed upon by such magical creatures is addictive."

"About today's live stream content, I will teach you some methods of finding rare materials. I can't guarantee that you will definitely find rare materials, but the chances are definitely greater than searching blindly. Most importantly, it still depends on everyone's luck."

On the first day of entering the Mystic Realm, the Phoenix Tail Flower Team was under a lot of attention, and it was not convenient for Lin Da to investigate deep into Dragon Forest.

That event was scheduled to start the night after next.

Lin Da wasn't in a hurry. His main goal for the first day was to collect rare resources and earn Gold Coins.

His second goal was to strike at those adventurers from other regions who had invaded White Dove City.

Walking on the stark tawny wilderness, the sensor ladybugs circled around Lin Da, and his calm voice reached the external magic screens.

"The three most common rare resources in the Great Mystery Continent are as follows: the Fruit of the World Tree, silver level, requires 30 Material Points, and is sold for an average of 10,000 Gold Coins in the outside world."

"Haru Ore, requires 50 Material Points, can be used to forge level 30 Purple Equipment, and sells for 20,000 Gold Coins."

"Storm Hawk droppings, 40 Material Points, mainly used to make Demon Repellent, and also a favorite food for Blackflame Horses that can enhance their physique, selling for about 15,500 Gold Coins."

Lin Da smiled, "The Silver Tree is a matter of chance and not something you can search for intentionally. Our main target is the second type, the Haru Ore. The burial sites of this ore generally have a dark brown soil color, and the soil quality is drier..."

This knowledge was half based on Lin Da's mining experience in the game and half from what he had learned in the library.

A barrage of knowledge points came down, leaving many adventurers in awe but puzzled.

It was not enough to talk; Lin Da had to demonstrate.

"This spot looks pretty good."

Lin Da stopped next to a large rock.

He stomped his foot twice, feeling that the ground nearby was different from the surrounding area.

"As expected, the Phoenix Tail Flower Team's first bucket of gold today is right here."

Taking an Iron Pickaxe out of his Space Ring, Lin Da handed it to Lulu—being the captain meant he had to let his teammates do the rough work, even if they were all beautiful girls.

Lulu took it for granted. The old Lin Da had been a hundred times worse than now. She picked up the Iron Pickaxe, without a word, and started digging with her bushy tail in the air.
