After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Even though Lin Da had anticipated it, he couldn't help but give a sidelong glance.

Lulu's face remained calm, and she quickly withdrew her hand after the test, seemingly not wanting too many people to see her level.

Lin Da thought to himself: he had kicked Lulu out of the team three years ago, and Lulu had changed her profession to Witch, starting from scratch, and had reached level 25 in just three years. This speed was bewildering!

His rapid leveling was due to cheats, but Lulu as a pure local, reaching level 25 in three years was almost like forcing the growth of a Fallen Insect.

The repeated outbreaks of pollution had also caused the young girl considerable pain.

Lin Da silently thought he must completely purify Lulu and rescue her from the abyss.

Meanwhile, as everyone saw the number 25 on the Treasure Bead, their eyes widened in disbelief.

Snow Goose's captain, Lia, level 23,

Ice Flower's captain, Isa, level 25.

This unfamiliar Werewolf girl had actually reached the same level as the captains of Rock-level Squads!

The Beastmen who had previously blamed Lulu sweated profusely from their foreheads, touching their chests, still feeling the aftermath.

The adventurer with the full beard who had been talking with Lin Da exclaimed, "She could have joined a Rock-level Squad, but instead, she chose his team, what kind of Magic Potion has she been fed!"

"No wonder he's called the Ultimate Pervert, charm that kills across all races."

"If I had half his charm, I wouldn't still be a single dog!"

A series of jealous voices arose in Lin Da's ears.

But actually, he and those people were the same, single dogs,

it's just that the teammates around him happened to all be beautiful girls.

Gradually, the team-forming process came to its final step.

Naming the squad.

Lin Da looked to the two women beside him and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"I don't mind," Kafni said indifferently.

Lulu nodded, agreeing with Kafni's statement.

This left the naming entirely up to Lin Da.

He held the feather pen and thought seriously for a while.

The tip of the pen traced over the paper, writing down a line of neatly scripted common language of the continent.

Kafni leaned over to look, puzzled by the name.

Lulu glanced sideways, slightly surprised, a hint of warmth melting into her usually cold expression.

Written on the paper was 'Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team' in six large characters.

"Why is it called Phoenix Tail Flower?" Kafni asked, puzzled.

The one who answered was Lulu, her expression somewhat complex, "Phoenix Tail Flower is a common purple flower in the lands of the Beastmen, symbolizing friendship and companions."

Lin Da had thought it through before naming it the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team.

Phoenix Tail Flower itself, served as a 'gift' in the game, and was the most cost-effective. It was cheap, and many game characters liked it. The language of the flower also symbolized companionship and friendship, fitting Lin Da's intention of 'leading all team members, without leaving anyone behind, to reach the top of the World Tree.'

Thus, naming it Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team could not be more appropriate.

[System Notification: Witch Lulu's trust level towards you +3, current trust level, 44 points.]

Lin Da received an unexpected benefit.

He handed the registration form to the staff member, who stamped it a moment later, took the form, and then presented three 'Apprentice Level' adventure team badges.

The badges were the size of a baby's fist, circular, made of bronze, and depicted a massive World Tree.

Under the World Tree was a Treasure Chest, and crossed Sword and Shield.

And a string of faintly glowing magical numbers: 15439539563.

Lin Da reverently received the badge from the staff member, took them out of the black box, and handed them to Kafni and Lulu.

The three of them each wore their badges on their chests.

An odd bond seemed to connect them abruptly, and even though Lulu hadn't sincerely joined the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Group, wearing their badge made her feel something unusual.

On her chest, she had only ever worn two. One was from the Primitive Adventure Team, and the other, now, was from the Phoenix Tail Flower.

The group left the counter, and Lin Da stroked the badge on his chest, overwhelmed with emotion.

Three years had passed,

and he had finally established his own team.

No longer the former Healer of the Snow Goose Adventure Team, 'Eye of Wisdom' Lin Da.

But the captain of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Group, Lin Da!

Just three bronze badges, yet they granted Lin Da the feeling of a traveler returning home, finding his place.

No longer alone, he now had a goal to strive for.

Lin Da grabbed Kafni's hand on his right, then took Lulu's cold little hand on his left.

Ignoring the gloomy expression on the face of the Beastmen girl, Lin Da interlaced their hands and placed his own on top.

"The Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Group, established!"

"Established!" Kafni chimed in, causing a stir.

Perhaps feeling that they were one step closer to defeating the Demon King.

Lulu, not quite used to the 'happy friends' atmosphere, snorted and withdrew her hand to stuff it into her pocket.

[System Prompt: Trust level of Witch Lulu +3, current trust, 47 points]

Lin Da glanced at the girl's petulant profile, slightly amused.

This was just like in the game, always indifferent to the player until the trust level reached 80.

At that moment, he received another system prompt:

[Missing one member to activate the squad module]

In the game Mystic Continent, three make a team, ten make a group.

Lin Da wondered; his squad already had three people, but the system indicated one was lacking.

Was it because Lulu wasn't considered an official member, or because Kafni, a Summoned Beast, wasn't classified as a 'person'?

Lin Da closed the system and stepped out of the hall with Kafni and Lulu, pondering whether the squad module functioned the same as in the game?

In the game, the primary use of the squad module was to pat the teammates' heads, colloquially known as 'head pats,' which upon touching, could increase team members' attribute points.

It also allowed spending a currency known as 'Diamonds' to buy various trial events for team members.

To enhance attributes, potential, or even to realize skills.

But the most powerful was the passive skill 'Captain's Aura.'

Within the aura's range, all team members would receive a boost!

Lin Da pondered that once the squad module was activated and their strength enhanced, he could go to the fourth level of the World Tree to find clues about his sister.

The current priority was to find another member and activate the squad module.

His level also needed to be raised to 10, and he needed to equip a Purple Rare quality Walnut Wood Magic Sword.

Coming out of the Adventurer's Guild and onto the street,

Lin Da said to the two girls, "To celebrate the formation of our team, how about a big meal?"

"This is a good suggestion." Kafni promptly nodded.

Lulu said, "I'm not going."

Lin Da shook his head, "Everyone must go, this is a captain's order."

Gurgle~

Lulu's stomach rumbled inopportunely.

Her expression hardly changed, yet she nodded slightly, "Alright then."

Half an hour later, the sky had completely darkened.
