After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply Chapter 338 288. City ranking, resource allocation for Phoen

```

"Hmm, the more the rrier, forming an alliance earlier would have prevented that Specter issue," Lin Da nodded.

Three teams with the potential to advance to Iron Level, anyone facing them would have to weigh their options.

Velen smacked his lips, saying aningfully, "Isa and Miss Lia, as you know, are like fire and water. Lin Da, you really have so skills, even more impressive in romance than I was in my youth."

Lin Da: "?"

Seeing Velen's unspoken admiration in his eyes, Lin Da felt quite helpless.

The more he tried to explain, the worse it beca, so he simply chose not to explain at all.

Soday, he would make Isa his Oath-bound as well.

As for Lia... he didn't have much thought about that. Facing that red-haired girl, he just couldn't treat her as the opposite sex. To say friends might imply a closer relationship, but lovers was definitely out of the question.

He himself couldn't clarify what exactly his relationship with Lia was.

For now, he would just treat her as an ally.

"So, this is the resource zone of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team?"

"Quite large, isn't it, President? Is this really okay?"

Lin Da's tone changed as he saw a red circle drawn on the map by Velen, his expression subtly shifting.

At first glance, it was only the size of a chestnut.

But placed within the vast Mystic Realm, it had to be 100 ters in diater, roughly the size of dozens of basketball courts combined.

And a regular Rock-level Squad would only gain a resource zone of 10 ters in diater upon promotion.

So, Phoenix Tail Flower was starting with ten tis what normal teams got!

It was hard for Lin Da not to suspect that Velen was trying to win him over, hoping to make him owe a favor.

Unexpectedly, Velen chuckled and said:

"You keep it, this is the result of the guild's comprehensive consideration, not my solo decision. The reputation of Phoenix Tail Flower, the level of its mbers, votes from other Rock-level Squad captains, as well as the guild's opinion, all these factors combined determine your team's resource zone size."

"By the way, during the voting, Snow Goose Adventure Team was the first one to vote. Four types of votes: 'Excellent,' 'Good,' 'diocre,' 'Poor,' Snow Goose cast an 'Excellent' vote, hoping that the guild would grant Phoenix Tail Flower a high-quality resource zone."

"The first one to vote? An excellent vote?" Lin Da spaced out for a mont, the image of Lia wielding her Greatsword and declaring him an enemy coming to mind.

Lin Da chuckled inexplicably and looked at Velen, "President, can you really talk about these things? The voting is supposed to be anonymous, right?"

"Once you leave this office, just forget all about it,"

Velen waved his hand nonchalantly, saying: "By the way, out of 53 Rock-level and above teams in White Dove City, your team received 37 excellent votes, 5 good votes, and 11 poor votes."

"11 poor..." Lin Da's eyes flashed coldly, "It must be the Rock-level Squads from the Specter side."

"That's your personal grudge, the guild doesn't interfere. But no matter what you do, don't leave any evidence. Just like the assassins of Specter, without evidence, there's nothing we can do on our part," Velen casually remarked.

"Understood," Lin Da nodded.

Having morized the location of the resource zone, Lin Da signed a docunt, pricked his finger, and pressed down a magic-contracted fingerprint.

That piece of land then officially belonged to the Phoenix Tail Flower Team.

Once Lin Da put away the docunts, Velen's expression turned serious:

"It's your first ti entering the 10th floor, and many adventure teams and newspapers will be watching your performance. The following words are from as the president of White Dove City Adventurers' Guild."

"I'm all ears," Lin Da said, his expression becoming serious as well.

Velen: "You must understand, White Dove City isn't big, and the empire hasn't allocated many reserve resource zones to us, so I hope Phoenix Tail Flower Team enjoys the privileges but also takes on the responsibility of jointly resisting foreign enemies."

"The adventurers from Red Heart City and South Rock City invade our resource zones every ti. As a top force among the Rock-level Squads, you must set an example."

"As the president of the White Dove City Adventurers' Guild, I look forward to your performance," Velen said, patting Lin Da's shoulder gently.

Lin Da nodded, his voice resolute, "President, rest assured, I am also a mber of White Dove City adventurers, and if soone bullies us, I won't just stand by and watch."

"I can't control the Iron-level adventure teams, but for the Rock-level Squads, I'll make sure they roll back the way they ca, one by one."

His words were unapologetic, even bordering on arrogance.

Lin Da spoke casually, as if discussing what he had for lunch yesterday.

Velen couldn't help but take a sidelong glance.

This Phoenix Tail Flower captain seed to have more up his sleeve than he had thought.

"Good, you do remind of myself back in the day!" Velen laughed aloud.

Lin Da's 'arrogance' clearly wasn't unreasoned.

```

Even Lulu alone made their Phoenix Tail Flower Team one of the top teams at the rock level.

If Tasya hadn't gone to the Scarlet Adventure Group, Lin Da could have gone toe-to-toe with Iron Level.

And as for himself, he possessed a half-step Star Rank strength.

Ordinary rock-level squads, Lin Da didn't even take them seriously.

...

After bidding farewell to President Velen.

By afternoon, the Snow Goose Squad arrived as scheduled.

They ca to undergo team coordination training with Lin Da.

"Happy New Year."

In the training room, people on both sides t and cordially greeted each other.

Klyne smiled, "Lin Da, long ti no see."

"Yes, let's train together and aim to enter the Iron Level as soon as possible," Lin Da greeted each of his old friends in turn.

Klrona went over to Monica's side, and the two whispered about the latest Magic Puppet ga.

Aiko's gaze was so resentful that it made Lin Da's skin crawl.

After hastily offering New Year's greetings, he quickly looked away from Aiko's gaze.

As for his feelings toward Aiko, they were closer to those of a pure old teammate, with a slight fondness for Aiko's figure. Not like Isa, whose confession under the fireworks had touched his heartstrings.

It was like, no matter how Aiko tried to tickle him, she could never reach his real itchy spot, sothing was missing.

Until he was certain he liked Aiko, Lin Da wouldn't add any more Oath-bound to their numbers.

"Lin Da, train hard. As long as I can beco stronger, I can accept even the strictest training," said Lia as she approached.

Lia, with one hand on her hip, was dressed in neat adventurer's attire, her long hair tied back in a ponytail, and with a greatsword about the width of her palm on her back, her eyes shining as she stood in front of Lin Da.

During the New Year's Eve dinner the night before, the team mbers took turns persuading Lia not to throw a tantrum during Lin Da's training, even if Lin Da did sothing that made her uncomfortable, it was definitely for her own good.

Everyone was convinced that Lin Da would never harm Snow Goose.

Lia had co to that conclusion as well.

So far, Lin Da's decisions seed to always be right.

If she was not bright, she would just listen to Lin Da more.

"That's what you said."

Lin Da looked deeply at Lia.

In the new year, Lia seed to have grown taller, and her character also appeared much stronger than in previous years.

The only pity was... Lin Da glanced at a certain place

She still couldn't distinguish the difference between her front and back.

The team training started quickly.

Lin Da used the pre-set Illusion Magic Circle in the training ground to simulate various Magical Creatures.

These Magical Creatures moved stiffly, far from real combat.

But for "armchair strategizing" and to hone the Snow Goose's teamwork ability, it was enough.

"Lia, attack the Goblin Chieftain to your front left!"

"Aiko, support with Cage of Light!"

"Ti to retreat, Oru, take over!"

"Klrona, don't charge too far ahead."

"Phyllis, you need to practice chanting as a Healer more."

Lin Da sat on a bench-like stool, overseeing the battle situation, shaking his head repeatedly in his mind.

If Ice Flower's teamwork ability was 85 points, Snow Goose's performance was around 50, not even passing.

Though it was sowhat stronger than before he left the team, the improvent was not significantly noticeable.

In each of their hearts, they still held onto the idea of fighting on their own.

Lia rushed impulsively at the sight of Magical Creatures, Klrona loved to charge into the midst of monsters, Aiko could never seem to muster any enthusiasm, acting languid, and occasionally casting those resentful glances at himself...
