Chapter 116: 109. On the stage is the 'Joker' adventure team

"It's Wild Panther Gite and Thunder Swordmaster Dawen!""Two Star-ranked adventurers? Such big shots are also here to check out the strategy for the first three floors?"

"Lord Gite, I am your fan!"

When the adventurers saw the two distinctively dressed individuals standing in front of the second-floor railing, the atmosphere instantly boiled over, turning into a fan meet-and-greet.

The muscular, attractively shaped female named Wild Panther Gite had once torn apart a 'Wilderness Guardian,' a level-32 Vine Giant, within the fifteenth floor of the Great Mystery Continent.

When she dropped the Orange Magic Equipment "Angry Death Claw," she had made the front page of White Dove Morning News, and her strength was acknowledged by adventurers far and wide.

The man with the fiery red ponytail and aloof expression, Thunder Swordmaster Dawen, held even greater prestige than Gite.

He was the second son of the Mandala family from Red Heart City and had been a Star-ranked adventurer five years ago, matching hands with the leader of the White Dove Adventure Group within the Great Mystery Continent.

He was renowned as the potential future leader of the Scarlet Adventure Group, tasked with taking his family to greater heights.

Their arrival immediately caused a sensation.

"Why has Dawen come here?" Aiko's expression changed.

She knew well that Lia and Dawen didn't get along.

Besides Linda, the person Lia most wanted to defeat was Dawen. Once they met, a fight was inevitable.

Suppressing a certain unease in her heart, Aiko nodded in greeting to Dawen on the second floor.

Isa, leading the Ice Flower team members, also saluted the two Star-ranked adventurers.

Dawen casually nodded back and, facing the curious gaze of the crowd below, explained Gite's earlier words.

"Gite was right, the Phoenix Tail Flower Team leader precisely predicted the attack of the Magical Creatures, not some 'future-seeing' precognition."

"I guess he must have watched enough attacker's live streams to summarize a set of behaviors specific to Black Magic Dogs."

"But I don't know how he managed to be 100% accurate—each adventurer can only enter the first floor once with no room for errors. Even if they change their class, they can only do it twice. The third time they change their class is almost a suicidal act."

"If he had cleared the first floor hundreds, even thousands of times, knowing Black Magic Dogs inside out, I would believe he could achieve this precise 'precognition.' But no one could clear the first floor thousands of times; it's a floor the top adventurers dismiss, and more energy should be spent on higher floors."

"Ten thousand adventurers passing the first floor isn't as significant as one adventurer who has cleared thirty floors in the upcoming war against the Demon Lord's Army."

Dawen's expression gradually became severe, his voice also carrying a trace of faint respect:

"I don't know how he summarized the behavior logic of Black Magic Dogs, but it must have taken a great deal of time and effort. In other words, this attackers' live stream was prepared for newcomers who have not yet entered the first floor, though it does not help the Phoenix Tail Flower adventure team's upper-level strategies, they still did it."

"Such a person is not smart, but he deserves my high regard."

As Dawen carefully analyzed, the adventurers in the hall fell into silence from their initial excitement.

They spent so much time and effort just to help beginners who hadn't entered the first floor?

Had they invested the same effort in higher floors and set the live stream as a paid entry, the Phoenix Tail Flower adventure team would be making a fortune.

Yet they did not do so.

A free, completely beginner-focused, nanny-level strategy live stream.

In an environment where everyone is vying to reach the summit and competing against each other, the approach of the Phoenix Tail Flower adventure team was like a breath of fresh air.

As Dawen said:

This strategy might not be clever, but it deserves respect.

Many adventurers couldn't help but hold them in high esteem, their expressions solemn as they looked towards the young man on the screen.

"Lord Captain, the ladybug seems like it's going to die, there are so many suggestions!"

Monica nervously gripped the ladybug, shouting from behind.

The white standard suggestions covered the ladybug's belly, and another ladybug was dizzy from the golden suggestions.

At a glance, it was a dense sea of text.

"Eye of Wisdom, please accept my apology, I actually thought you were after the empire's subsidy of 10 gold coins, damn it!"

"From now on, even if everyone calls you the Ultimate Pervert, you are still the best adventurer in my heart! Tomorrow, I'm heading to the first floor of the World Tree, this strategy live stream, I, Jack, am fixed on it!"

"Big shot, please explain, exactly how did you predict it? Could I kill the Black Magic Dog without getting injured just like you?"

"Pfft, it's no big deal, anyone can beat a Magical Creature like a Black Magic Dog with just fighting instinct, right?"

Among the many friendly suggestions, there were also a few discordant ones.

Kafni, seeing that sour suggestion, puzzled in her heart, the tone of that speech, didn't it sound a bit like a certain red-haired young lady?

"Everyone, don't rush, I will start breaking down the movements immediately. If you learn attentively, everyone can kill the Black Magic Dog without getting injured."

Linda had cleared the surrounding Black Magic Dogs, finally giving him time to look at the sensor ladybug.

There were so many suggestions it was dizzying.

Thirty percent were various praises, the rest were mostly requests for him to start teaching.

As Dawen had said, Linda didn't predict the future.

He judged based on the Black Magic Dog's specific pre-attack movements, changes in barking, and the distance and positioning between the adventurer and the Black Magic Dog, predicting which skill the Magical Creature would use.

The Black Magic Dog had just four moves: Normal Attack, Bite, Fierce Headbutt, and Frenzied Pursuit.

All these skills had precursory movements, giving adventurers time to react.

This was the game developers' mercy to adventurers.

Of course, if the level was high, there was no need for a strategy to pass.

Linda's strategy was mainly for those with lesser ability and those with good talent, who, due to their first time entering the World Tree, were too nervous to perform.

He found a lone Black Magic Dog, explaining as he commenced the battle.

"We can judge its next move by the sound of the Black Magic Dog's howl and the movement and distance of its limbs."

"Now I am in front of it. Watch closely— if it lowers its body, it's about to pounce from above with a bite. Just dodge to the left."

"If the Black Magic Dog backs away, it's initiating a Frenzied Pursuit, focus on defending the front then."

"When the Black Magic Dog moves its forelimbs, it will launch a Fierce Headbutt."

"Conversely, if it doesn't move, you can try taking a small step forward to enter the next cycle, observing its sound and movements."

This includes many details.

It's hard to remember all at once.

But Linda had compiled thick sheets of strategy paper, placed in front of the sensor ladybugs, for all adventurers to copy.

The attack patterns of the Black Magic Dog were just a few sets.

Once familiar, even if one couldn't perform as fluidly as he did, passing the first level with minor injuries was still very feasible.

The hall of the Adventurer's Guild was silent.

Only the rustling sound of paper and pen could be heard.

Elf Finnlay was thoroughly convinced.

Even though he had already crossed the first level, he was still astounded by the strategy.

If he had entered the first level later, his teammate wouldn't have suffered a crushed shoulder from the Black Magic Dog.

The adventurers who had not entered the World Tree were ultimately in the minority.

Finnlay couldn't help but think: it would be great if there were detailed strategies for the second and third levels.

At that moment, as if reading his mind, Linda said, "There will also be detailed strategies for the second and third levels later. After everyone reads them, you should gain something."

As soon as he said this, the silent hall erupted into an uproar once again.

Finnlay doubted his ears; were there such ridiculously detailed strategies for the second and third levels as well?

The magical creatures on the first level are at level 5, while the second and third levels range from 6-9.

This level range matched the largest batch of adventurers.

Nearly eighty percent of the people in the hall were between levels 6-9.

That meant Linda's strategies would benefit the largest group of adventurers among them.

They were poor, living precariously, constantly facing the risk of teammates being injured or killed.

Talented and well-off adventurers might not need such lower-level strategies.

But for the poor and less capable adventurers, this strategy guide was nothing short of a lifesaver, greatly improving their chances of survival.

The benefits were substantial and real.

The most important point... it was all free.

This incredibly detailed strategy guide was available to any adventurer without charge. Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

With his voice quivering with excitement, Finnlay shouted: "Linda is awesome!"

"Eye of Wisdom is awesome!"

"Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team will achieve great things!"

"I think Linda should be called the 'Eye of True Knowledge'. 'Eye of Wisdom' was his nickname during the Snow Goose Era."

"Eye of True Knowledge, Linda!"

For a moment, the hall was a thunderous maelstrom of shouts.

This spectacle made Snow Goose's members a bit panicked.

Aiko was completely stunned.

Shouldn't I be the only one who knew how formidable Linda was?

Now that you all know, isn't my advantage of being prescient gone?

Oru was exhilarated as he suggested, "How about we all propose to let the captain bring Linda back? That Phyllis, just doesn't cut it."

"Impossible, he already has his own team," Aiko sighed.

As the only one who had witnessed the harmonious atmosphere of the Phoenix Tail Flower, she dared to say, even a million gold coins wouldn't bring him back.

With Linda's reputation as the 'Eye of True Knowledge' established, regardless of why the Snow Goose Adventure Team had driven Linda away,

at that moment, their noses might as well have turned into bright red balls.

Standing before the strategy broadcast station, Aiko and her group became complete clowns amidst the tumultuous shouting.

Even though the main reason for Linda leaving the team was related to Lia, none of them had truly tried to keep him.

If there were any attempts, they were mere words and no real actions were taken.

Perhaps subconsciously, they all sided with Lia: a level 15 Healer Linda just wasn't good enough.

Replacing him with a level 20, graduate from a prestigious college like Phyllis, would supposedly improve the team.

Deep down, all team members harbored such thoughts.

If they truly considered Linda indispensable, they would have sought him out together the day before Linda was to sign his departure agreement with Lia.

In reality, none of them took action.

Even Aiko, who outwardly cared the most about Linda, only felt a twinge of unease after Linda had signed his departure agreement.
