The people in the hall were far more numerous than those in the Inner City District.The impoverished Sparrow District was home to the largest number of bottom-tier adventurers. Searᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lulu had arrived early.

She wore a hood, blending into the crowd, hands in her pockets, staring blankly at the huge screen.

When the screen lit up and the figures of Lin Da and his companions appeared, a ripple of excitement stirred in her otherwise calm heart.

From the strategy discussion of the Black Magic Dog, to the explanation, and then the announcement that the upcoming floors' strategies would be similarly detailed and freely shared with all adventurers...

Lulu took all this in, her expression softening unconsciously.

These days, she often found herself recalling that evening of the White Thanksgiving. Was Lin Da, who had assured her with a resolute expression and yet tender gaze that he would take her to the top of the World Tree, putting on an act?

The recent events in her life felt like a beautiful dream within a bubble. Lulu, who had become accustomed to hardship and had accepted her miserable fate over the last three years, felt afraid.

As the Catastrophe Girl who had hit rock bottom, there was hardly any light in Lulu's life until Lin Da reached out to her once again.

Lulu tried climbing back up, but if that hand were to let go halfway, she would fall back to the bottom of the valley with a hard crash.

The pain from such an abrupt fall would surely cause her to collapse!

At this moment, seeing Lin Da earnestly explaining the strategy to the lower-tier adventurers on the screen, Lulu was certain that this Primordial team captain had indeed changed.

Towards the former team captain, Lulu had felt a mix of reverence and resentment, but now facing Lin Da, she experienced a strange wave of emotion.

Lin Da's image flashed through her mind occasionally, and whenever she heard something about him, she couldn't help but pay attention.

The adventurers in the hall excitedly chanted Lin Da's name, their gazes full of respect directed toward the floating screen.

The corners of Lulu's lips curled up without her noticing.

Standing still with her hands in her pockets, she did nothing, yet she was perhaps the most elated person present.

She, too, was a member of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team.

"Looks like there's no need to worry anymore," Lulu murmured to herself, lifting her head to look at the dome of the Adventurer's Guild.

In the eyes of the Beastwoman girl flashed an indiscernible color.

With a single motion, Lulu had already disappeared from the hall.

...

"What? Jite wants me to watch a live feed of an Apprentice Level adventure team? Has she lost her mind?"

A blond young man with a monocle was flirting with a healthily built Bunny Girl in the tavern.

Swirling the crimson liquid in his wine glass, he shook his head disdainfully and said, "You can go back. Tell Jite I'm busy with something important!"

"Mr. Gale, Miss Jite's exact words were: 'Tell that bastard Gale who's always messing around with women to get his ass over here immediately, or I'll claw him into shape myself,'" said a bald adventurer, tasked with delivering the message, as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nervously glanced at the blond young man in the black tailcoat.

Gale the Observer.

The commander of the White Dove Adventure Group, a Star-ranked adventurer with a special ability to scout the aura of Magical Creatures, hence the nickname Observer.

Such a Big Shot was not someone a minor adventurer like Baldy could afford to offend!

Baldy imitated Jite's rough tone vividly but, fearful of Gale's wrath, he stood there nervous and tense.

Fortunately, Gale was understanding and did not make things difficult for him.

"What can I do, maybe Jite has a thing for me?" Gale arrogantly tossed his smooth blond hair, kissed the Bunny Girl on her cheek, and leaving behind a Purple Gold Coin worth 100 Gold Coins, said nonchalantly:

"My dear, let's continue this battle later tonight. I have to go on a date with Jite, otherwise she'll get jealous."

"Mr. Gale, I'll be waiting for you~" The Bunny Girl's eyes lit up at the sight of the Purple Gold Coin.

A while later, Gale arrived at the Adventurer's Hall.

"Jite, you missed me after just a few hours? Oh? It seems the Thunder Swordmaster Dawen is also here; I am truly sorry for my rudeness."

Gale greeted them both, only to realize they didn't even pay him any mind.

Jite, her eyes fixed on the screen below, said, "You claim to know everything. How did you miss the hidden trial on the first floor?"

"Hidden? You mean that little cabin?" Gale chuckled and said, "Didn't I take you there already?"

"No, it's not a little cottage," Jite squinted his eyes, "A brand new, hidden trial that we don't know about."

A heated discussion erupted in the hall:

"Gosh, what kind of magical creature is that, how come I've never seen it before?"

"Although it's small, it seems pretty powerful! Can Phoenix Tail Flower handle it?"

"That metallic skin looks so slick, it's hard to hit."

The noise was unbearable, like a bustling discount market. Explore stories at mvl

Gale was struck with a thought, wondering, why were there so many people in the hall?

The live coverage of the first three levels usually drew a sparse crowd of about a dozen people, which was quite a lot.

Looking down from the second floor, the place was packed with at least a thousand people.

"A hidden trial on the first level with an unheard-of magical creature? How is that possible, the first level has been trampled over by adventurers, they're so familiar with it that they might as well know the number of freckles on a Bunny Girl's butt," said Gale.

Gale turned his gaze to the screen.

The sensor ladybug flew in the sky, giving a top-down view.

One could see a male and two female adventurers enveloping a silvery globe the size of a bucket.

Not long ago, the Phoenix Tail Flower adventure team exchanged magic spring water for the pangolin's treasure bead, and with the bead, they activated the teleportation array to enter the first level's hidden trial!

It was clear to Gale at a glance, that globe was Slime, the most common type of magical creature.

There were many kinds of Slimes, like Fire Slime, Thunder Slime, Rock Slime... and so on.

But he had never heard of a metal form of Slime.

Gale's interest was piqued, and he joked, "For an apprentice level adventure team, discovering a new kind of low-level magical creature is indeed quite good. But it's not enough to call me, a Star-ranked adventurer, over, right? My time is precious, every minute should be spent on lovely girls."

"Gale, shut up. Take a good look, that's no low-level magical creature."

Jite punched Gale irritably, causing Gale to cup his waist in pain, his eyes bulging out, nearly losing half his life.

"Slime, and it's not a low-level magical creature?" Gale grimaced but didn't dare to retaliate.

Dawen said, "I'm afraid, it may not even be considered a high-level magical creature, but a unique one that doesn't exist in reality, exclusive to the World Tree Secret Realm."

"A special magical creature?" Gale rubbed his waist, steadied his mind, and looked at the screen again.

This time, he noticed what was abnormal.

No matter how the members of the Phoenix Tail Flower adventure team attacked, they were dodged by the Metal Slime's smooth surface.

Both sword and magic alike, everything slid off to the side, without harming the Metal Slime in the slightest!

Lin Da's voice came from the screen: "You all have seen the characteristics of this Metal Slime, even when my team member Monica, who has reached level 15, attacked it, the hit rate was zero percent. And the level of this Metal Slime is only 10, lower than Monica's."

To dodge spells from a level 15 adventurer?

Gale's expression turned serious, finally realizing why Jite had summoned him.

Killing this special hidden magical creature would undoubtedly come with a reward from the World Tree Goddess.

The Metal Slime was level 10, yet it appeared on the first level with an average level of 5.

Clearly, it was not meant to be hunted by clueless novices.

Gale considered himself omniscient within the first 20 levels of the Mystic Realm, and this unheard-of new magical creature fired up his strong desire for knowledge.

What would he get by killing this Metal Slime?

How should he kill it?

He couldn't let it get away at all costs.

A name of an item flickered through Gale's mind.

With that, he should be able to kill the Metal Slime.

The only problem was, such an item wasn't something anyone would go out of their way to collect.

"Last month, the White Dove Adventure Group exploded one of those bottles, that worthless trash was thrown away by me directly. A Gold Coin wouldn't even insult White Dove Adventure Group," he thought.

Now, Gale felt a slight regret.

The item he had discarded was none other than the Metal Destroyer.
