章節 23: 23. Truly delicious
Lin Xi disappeared on the fourth level of the World Tree.
According to the rules of the World Tree Secret Realm, except for the Great Mystery Continent that appears every five levels, other realms can only be entered once.
After coming out from the fourth level, Lin Da could not re-enter it; to farm monsters, he could only go to the Great Mystery Continent and other ordinary secret realms outside the World Tree.
However, there was one method that could allow him to return to the fourth level.
That was to change his profession.
After changing professions, both his level and his strategy records for the World Tree were reset to zero.
When Lin Da re-entered the World Tree, he would start from the first level, and he could replay the fourth level mystery again.
"Lin Xi now should be level 30, becoming a Star-ranked adventurer, right?"
Before disappearing, Lin Xi was already level 15, half higher than the other members of the team.
Such a speed of leveling up was like cheating.
"Sleep."
The time shown on his pocket watch had reached two in the morning, and Lin Da felt a wave of tiredness strike him. There had been too much happening today... He had left the team, then became a hero, and resolved to create his own team.
It was a single day that brought him as much fatigue as a usual month.
Lin Da closed his pocket watch and drifted off into sleep.
The next morning.
In a simple breakfast restaurant.
Lin Da and Kafni sat at the table, struggling to gnaw on the rock-hard bread in their hands.
When Kafni walked into this shop, she immediately drew fiery stares from everyone else, making Lin Da a bit uncomfortable.
Great Panda is indeed impressive.
It's a universal truth, regardless of the world!
At the small wooden table, Lin Da sipped on the milk in his bowl. He glanced sideways, only to see the early morning sun streaming through the window, casting a gentle light on the face of a blonde deity.
Kafni's eyelashes were long, and her blue eyes resembled pure gems, reflecting the sunlight, giving them a saintly beauty at first glance.
A thought crossed Lin Da's mind.
Dressing such a Kafni in humble hemp skirts seemed rather wasteful.
Lia would likely mock and scoff at her if she saw.
And since he had left the team, visiting the Snow Goose Adventure Team today as a guest, he was supposed to dress formally.
He also wanted to see how pretty a dressed-up Kafni could be, wondering if she could overshadow those young ladies.
So, he made a request to Kafni.
Thud.
The bread in Kafni's hand dropped to the floor, her face full of disbelief.
"You want me, a deity, to wear revealing clothes and play your female teammate?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Kafni's neck flushed red with anger.
She already detested Lin Da, so how could she possibly pretend to be good teammates with him?
Moreover, calling it dressing up was merely making her into a roasted chicken!
Those skirts barely reaching the thighs, and off-shoulder dresses—how could she, the manly Kafni, ever wear them?!
A moment later.
In front of a second-hand clothing store.
"It's settled then, I get the bed for the next month."
Kafni had already transformed herself from a destitute street woman of Sparrow District into a vibrant and pretty woman of the Inner City District.
"This..."
Lin Da was somewhat astonished.
At this moment, Kafni wore a tight black sleeveless top, covered with a small white jacket, but her massive shoulders almost seemed to slip free from its grasp, invoking the obsessive compulsion in anyone to pull them up properly for her.
She was wearing hot pants on her lower body, her legs white and plump like jade pillars, stepping in sneakers from the Otherworld, decorated with little wing patterns.
Kafni was tall and slim, standing with one hand on her hip like a model, her earlobes adorned with sparkling crystal earrings.
She cocked her head slightly, looking at Lin Da with confusion, "What's wrong?"
"You look good," Lin Da said.
"Wha-what?"
Kafni's face turned red, unexpectedly feeling a subtle joy after Lin Da's compliment.
This discovery made her panic. Why would she be happy about a man saying she looks good? That wasn't normal!
"Don't think that just because compliments are free, I would forgive your reprehensible actions!"
Kafni tightened her white jacket, suddenly feeling too exposed and uncomfortable all over.
"No, I mean, you really do look good."
Lin Da had always had high regard for women as ambitious as pandas.
"Stop talking," Kafni muttered, her voice softer than a mosquito's.
Just then, the carriage arrived, and Lin Da called the squirmy Kafni to get inside.
"To the Inner City District."
Lin Da handed over the last of his copper coins to the coachman.
The road from the Sparrow District to the Inner City District was uneven, full of bumps that made the carriage vibrate.
On the red velvet sofa, Kafni, sitting next to Lin Da with her legs pressed together, almost fell on him several times as the carriage tilted.
Lin Da didn't mind, back when Snow Goose Adventure Team was poor, five people would squeeze into a carriage, piling up in layers.
Rubbing shoulders and legs with Kafni was nothing unusual for him.
But he didn't know what was wrong with Kafni today. Since leaving the clothing store, she'd been acting weird, none of her usual arrogance.
Lin Da saw her hands as if having nowhere to rest, one moment on her knees, the next under her butt, her head hanging low, her gaze drifting.
The carriage passed over a large pothole and jolted sharply, Kafni's arm accidentally brushed against Lin Da, and she quickly withdrew it as if electrocuted.
What the heck is wrong with her?
Lin Da was utterly baffled.
"We've reached the Inner City District."
A moment later, the carriage stopped, and Lin Da saw Kafni was still daydreaming.
"Oh... oh! Thank you," Kafni snapped out of it, hurriedly opened the door of the carriage, and stepped out almost as if escaping.
First, she moved out a dazzlingly white long leg, then Kafni slowly straightened her waist, lifted her messy golden hair with her hand, and gradually opened her cold, aloof eyes to adjust to the bright sunlight outside.
Her posture made Lin Da sense a subtle femininity.
The two of them walked one after the other on the broad, tidy street, heading toward the villa of Snow Goose Adventure Team.
Lin Da noticed something odd, it seemed he was turning quite a few heads, attracting many passersby to pause and look.
Although being a former healer of Snow Goose Adventure Team made him somewhat famous, it couldn't be to this extent, could it?
Perplexed, he looked around and suddenly realized that within Kafni's tight black top, there were a pair of bouncing big guys, like a Slime casting the skill "Taunt."
No wonder!
These were so big; any adventurer would want to tackle them, right?
"What's wrong?" Kafni frowned and asked.
"It's nothing," Lin Da replied, turning his head away.
Seeing his somewhat awkward expression, Kafni belatedly realized something.
Kafni stared straight at her own chest, her cheeks quickly heating up.
She swiftly turned her head to the side.
On the street, Lin Da looked embarrassedly to the left, Kafni bit her lip and looked to the right— even she didn't know why she did that, but her heart felt like it was pounding out of her throat!
