Chapter 79: 79, Profession: Earth Mage

The glimpse of the tip of the iceberg that was revealed had a terrifying initial diameter, such that it could not be seen anywhere except in Another World, where girls with such explosively attractive figures existed.

Lin Da found it fascinating, but he had to straighten out Monica's thinking:

"Flaunting your belly in a public place, aren't you afraid of being targeted by passing Beastmen? Falling into the hands of Beastmen can lead to all sorts of incidents!"

He knocked on the cardboard box.

"Monica understands," the girl, clutching the head in the box, said softly, "It's not a public place when I'm with the captain, so, it should be okay, right?"

Lin Da frowned and pondered for a long while.

"Well, there shouldn't be any issues."

Half an hour later, Adventurer's Guild in the Inner City District of Red Heart City.

The place was bustling, with people brushing shoulders constantly.

As a city larger than White Dove City, Red Heart City had many more adventurers.

Even in the sweltering heat of noon, the area around the notice board at the entrance was still crowded with people, the noise akin to a bustling discounted market.

A group of inked Arm Beastmen, clearly up to no good, were squatting by the roadside, whistling at the attractive female adventurers, and even approaching those who were alone to chat them up.

"Hey, pretty girl, ol' Donkey Grandpa here is really something. Wanna grab lunch together?"

Monica saw an elf girl with pointed ears surrounded by five or six Beastmen looking distressed and immediately imagined her own situation, causing her legs to tremble, unable to walk.

She tugged at the hem of Lin Da's clothes and said weakly:

"Lo—Lord Captain, Monica doesn't want to be an adventurer anymore, perhaps I should just go to your room and dust?"

The ambitions she had a minute ago had vanished completely.

Lin Da, who had anticipated this, put on a stern face: "Captain I do not appreciate team members who give up halfway; keep this up, and I might just leave you behind."

"Wuwuwu, Lord Captain, don't leave Monica behind. Monica, Monica wants to be an adventurer again," the girl in the box said in a panic.

"That's my excellent team member," Lin Da said with a smile.

The group entered the hall of the Adventurer's Guild.

As they queued, many people looked curiously at the peculiar girl wearing a cardboard box on her head.

A Beastman with a hound's head mocked, "Where's this fool from? Probably too ugly to show her face, eh?"

Laughter erupted amongst the crowd. Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Monica's attire was indeed bizarre, carrying an old-fashioned large bundle and wearing a cardboard box. The Hound Man, with his keen sense of smell, could even detect a faint urine odor on her.

"Still wetting your pants at this age, hahaha!" the Hound Man laughed aloud.

Already insecure, Monica couldn't raise her head upon hearing these words.

Lin Da narrowed his eyes and gripped Monica's trembling hand tightly, his gaze coolly fixed on the Beastman: "Either shut your mouth or never venture outdoors again."

The corners of the Hound Man's mouth twitched, originally intent on provoking further, but upon seeing Lin Da's cold gaze that seemed to stare at a dead man, an inexplicable chill ran through him, and goosebumps rose on his arms.

"Mos, don't cause unnecessary trouble," said a half-Beastman with thick eyebrows and rhinoceros horns, frowning.

"Tsk,"

The Hound Man named Mos glared at Lin Da, crossed his arms, and queued without further comments.

Lin Da also withdrew his gaze. His experiences after leaving Snow Goose had taught him many lessons, the main one being: Retreating sometimes completely useless, especially when facing Beastmen who prey on the weak but fear the strong.

"Lord Captain, thank you," Monica said as she stretched her hand into the box and wiped the corner of her eye.

"Don't worry about what others think of you, as long as the captain thinks you're a good teammate, that's enough." Lin Da patted her shoulder.

Monica broke into a smile and nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

After queueing for about half an hour, it was finally the turn for Lin Da and the others.

While Monica was filling out the form, Lin Da watched silently.

The neat and tidy small print on the form was clear at a glance.

Name: Monica * Laidi

Level: 15

Occupation: Earth Mage

Earth Mage, one of the popular occupations on Mystic Continent, possessed a large number of area attack type skills.

Combined with Monica's inherent skill "Glass Cannon", she was exceptional at clearing minor monsters.

Lin Da pondered, his Venom Magic Sphere was a strong single-target output, suitable for fighting bosses, and with Monica clearing the minor monsters on the path... With this, the outline of an adventure squad had formed!

A ding-dong sound echoed in his mind and a system prompt appeared:

[Squad module loading, current progress 1%, estimated remaining time 12 hours until activation]

In 12 hours, it would be deep into the night.

Lin Da estimated that by then, he would have returned to White Dove City.

"You, the Beastman, don't you watch where you're walking?"

"I'm, I'm sorry, sir!"

As Lin Da and his group were heading outside, there was a disturbance at the door.

A Hound Man named Mos had bumped into a tall middle-aged elf with golden hair.

The elf's face was covered with frost, and he disdainfully wiped his clothes while his eyes openly showed contempt for the Beastman.

"Hey, this Beastman is in big trouble now. Not a good idea to mess with Elf Kao. I heard his team just passed the 11th floor of the World Tree yesterday, their levels reached 22!"

"Kao has firmly established himself in the rock level squad now."

"When can I become a level 20 adventurer..."

The surrounding buzzed with chatter.

Lin Da looked at the elf named Kao; in every city, there were some well-known adventurers. Like 'Eye of Wisdom', 'Bursting Flames', and 'Frost Swordsman' in White Dove City... anyone who reached level 20 could make a certain name for themselves among adventurers.

Against the timid Monica, Mos was arrogantly invincible, but facing Kao, a level 22, he was as meek as a cowed dog, with his tail trembling between his legs.

Lin Da looked at Mos's humble demeanor, his mind filled with thoughts. He had never found level 20 adventurers intimidating because the circles he had been in were basically of this level, and he was also on good terms with Aiko.

Thus, after his downfall, no one had bothered him.

It wouldn't work in Red Heart City, though, as no one there knew him.

In his three days in Red Heart City, Lin Da had already faced three challenges: the Minotaur, Luke, and just now, Mos... If he were just an ordinary level 8 adventurer, he couldn't have possibly smoothly stood here with Monica and the others.

The worst outcome would have been Kafni being kidnapped by the Minotaur upon entering the city and Monica ending up in a tavern through Luke.

'I must reach level 20 quickly and advance in occupation.'

The scene of the survival of the fittest unfolding before him made Lin Da realize the importance of levels. His teammates were beautiful girls; only with a strong enough captain could he protect them!

As he was deep in thought, the surrounding chatter suddenly ceased.

The level 22 elf Kao, upon seeing someone walking towards the Adventurer's Guild, changed his face drastically, immediately forgave the Beastman Mos, and panic-strickenly retreated to one side.
