After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 678 - 480. Counting the spoils, Black-armored Knight_2
Chapter 678: 480. Counting the spoils, Black-armored Knight_2
The team members were all very concerned about this issue, looking forward to Lin Da with anticipation.
If Lin Da could transform into Dark Shadow at any time, Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team would be able to stride through the Nine-layered Mountain Region with ease.
Lin Da shook his head and said, “I can’t use the power of Dark Shadow for a long time, so don’t think that just because I’m here, you can relax during our adventures.”
“That’s too bad…” Anna said, disappointed.
But on second thought, Lin Da said he can’t use it for a long time, which doesn’t mean he can’t use it forever.
One day, they might witness the peak of Dark Shadow’s power again.
Anna’s thoughts started to drift, as she recalled the times with the Primitive Adventure Team.
Hiding in a corner, peeking at Bailuo being rewarded by Dark Shadow with a pat on the head, helping Tina wash cucumbers, and concocting strange potions with a certain timid Magic Pharmacist…
During their time with the Primitive Adventure Team, each of the main team members lived joyfully.
That scene would surely be repeated.

Anna clenched her fist quietly.
In the conference room, everyone was focused on the two pieces of Legendary Equipment, not noticing Anna’s emotional turmoil.
The first piece was the [Slime King Earrings] that would greatly increase Magic Attack.
Lin Da and Monica were most compatible with it.
When discussing ownership, Monica shook her tiny head voluntarily to give up the legendary item, suggesting that they give it to the strongest captain for his use.
Lin Da intended to do just that.
Given that Phoenix Tail Flower’s resources were scarce, it was best to strengthen one member significantly first, and then “let the rich bring up the poor.”
He accepted the legendary earrings.
Then there was the second legendary item.
[Item: Enraged Red Dragon Helmet]
[Type: Equipment-Head]
[Quality: Legendary Two-Stars]
[Level: 45]
[Attributes: Strength +2000, Defense +500, Agility -30%]
[Rating: 4579]
[Description: A helmet carved with flying dragon wings, the furious flames can greatly increase the wearer’s strength at the cost of sacrificing some agility.]
Looking at the first two attributes, they were quite good.
But the third one, Agility -30%, made Lin Da frown.
He, for one, could be considered a Magic Swordsman, where agility was extremely important, and strength-reliant Lulu and Tasya also needed agility.
It seemed that Anna was the best fit for it.
For a Heavy Armored Warrior, who was already extremely low on agility, losing another 30% wasn’t too big of a deal.
“Eh, it’s for me?”
When Lin Da passed over the legendary helmet, Anna was stunned, then smiled and waved her hand, “I’ve just joined the team and I’m new. Let the better items go to others. I don’t mind being a bit aggrieved!”
Getting hurt with a smile was also part of cultivation.
Anna’s innate skill increased her cultivation progress or ability whenever she experienced pain, whether physical or emotional.
Over time, Anna had grown accustomed to being hurt, feeling awkward if she wasn’t injured in some way each day.
Like today’s loot distribution, the table brimmed with treasures, but she intended to take nothing, yearning to be neglected by Lin Da. While the rest of Phoenix Tail Flower gleefully celebrated, she would hide in a corner, licking her wounds.
Maybe she could even raise a whole level.
“A newcomer? No, in the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Group, everyone is equal; there is no distinction between new and old members,” Lin Da said seriously, tapping Anna’s head gently, and fitting the Red Dragon Helmet on her, “You’re also a team member whom this captain is very fond of. Accept it.”
Anna pretended to be unaffected and smiled, “Really? So the captain likes Anna that much? Then I won’t be shy about taking it.”
The young girl bowed her head and wiped away a tear.
The more she received, the more she feared losing it. And Anna’s way of protecting herself was to choose to give up from the beginning.
The Red Dragon Helmet on her head was heavier than a vast green field to Anna.
“Silly captain, now the favorability score will increase again,” Anna sighed. If this were a comic book, a +3 would surely pop up above her head.
…
Half an hour later, the distribution of the spoils was completed.
Each team member received a monthly salary of one million Gold Coins, and Lin Da distributed the orange and Epic Equipment according to everyone’s compatibility.
With so many Gold Coins, Kafni’s mouth was twisted into a big smile.
Lin Da wondered whether this Deity still wanted to save the world.
Perhaps with enough Wheat Beer and food, Kafni would turn in a blink of an eye and side with the Demon King’s Castle.
“Captain, Monica doesn’t need so many Gold Coins,” Monica ran over, coyly presenting a Savings Card, “Please keep it safe for Monica, Captain.”
Tasya said, “Everything I have belongs to my Lord, so I don’t need such things as a monthly salary.”
“You all…”
Lin Da was deeply moved.
Such considerate team members would make any capitalist shed tears.
But because he had experienced being owed a salary by Lia, he would never let such a thing happen to the members of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team.
Swipe! Swipe!
At that moment, a hand swiftly flashed before Lin Da’s eyes, snatching away the Savings Card.
Kafni said, “If you don’t want it, give it to me; I’ll spend it for you.”
“Uh, give it back to me, this is for the Lord Captain!”
“Kafni, I’m warning you to return it immediately!”
The two said, glaring at each other.
After some mediation, Kafni’s head sported a large bump, and only then did she “willingly” hand back the Savings Card.
Lin Da said with a smile, “These Gold Coins will be needed in the future; my child will ride the finest carriages and use the most powerful equipment – there’s simply never too much Gold!”
“The Captain/Master’s child…”
Monica and Tasya’s eyelids twitched, as if thunder had struck on a clear day.
They would expect nothing less from the Captain; they had never thought so far ahead.
Perhaps in Lin Da’s eyes, reaching the top of the World Tree was a foregone conclusion.
From then on, the two did not refuse the monthly salary that Lin Da distributed, and carefully stored the Savings Card in their Space Rings.
A relaxed atmosphere prevailed in the meeting room.
Though weighed down by heavy thoughts, Lin Da was also pleased to see his team members relaxed.
The 20th floor of the Great Mystic Realm next month would undoubtedly be a bloody storm.
During this time, Phoenix Tail Flower needed to rest properly and ease their spirits.
Besides, Lin Da had a hot potato in his hands.
The sack of demonic horns he had brought back last night.
Such a number, if offered as a sacrifice to the Goddess, might cause a spectacle.
Lin Da thought about secretly flying to another city to avoid the eyes and ears of White Dove City.
It was a necessity.
From the information gathered by Lulu, the Royal Capital was desperately seeking the whereabouts of a mysterious Light Rank individual and had sent Black-armored Knights to White Dove City.
They claimed to offer preferential treatment, but in the hands of the Royal Capital, one was bound to be controlled.
If the system’s secrets were to be exposed, it would be even worse.
Spiritual control and becoming a slave wasn’t out of the question.
Lin Da did not wish to place his fate in the hands of others.
“Continue to develop in the shadows until possessing the power to make the Royal Capital wary, then consider revealing the identity of Dark Shadow!”
Lin Da’s gaze shifted to the demonic horns in the sack.
These were trophies even more precious than Legendary Equipment.
Boosting the strength of Phoenix Tail Flower mainly depended on them.
Lin Da did some mental calculations on the number of demonic horns; starting with the 243 they had obtained after removing Difeng and the others, and gaining another 203 in the Nine-layered Mountain Region…
In total, a terrifying 446.
So many demonic horns, what kind of reward might they trade for…
An itch formed in Lin Da’s heart, as if a cat’s tail was brushing back and forth inside.
Beyond sacrificing demonic horns, in a few days, “those two” should also be arriving soon.
A Five-star Fire-type character, [Bursting Tiger] Taige.
A Four-star Dark-type character, [Black Scissors] Mingli.
With their addition, the forces of Phoenix Tail Flower would grow even stronger.
Once the number reached ten, they could be called the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Group.
Lin Da’s title would also change from leader of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team to head of the Phoenix Tail Flower Group.
This was a significant step in his adventuring life.
Excited by the thought, Lin Da couldn’t help but curve his lips into a smile.
If all went smoothly, Phoenix Tail Flower wouldn’t be far from becoming recognized as a Dawn Level team.
Truly establishing a foothold in Cangqing Province.
Lin Da walked to the window, gazing west.
He wondered how Lia and Isa were doing now.
Without the Flame Giant, with their combined strength, conquering the 19th floor should not be too difficult.
Lia’s smug little face suddenly popped into his mind.
Perhaps after reaching Moon Rank, she would be unsatisfied and come to challenge him again… But by then, he would have completed his sacrifices and wield an extra-enhanced Legendary Weapon.
Whether to give Lia a thorough lesson or to leave her some dignity was a choice to contemplate, but in that moment, Lin Da’s smile was knowing. The conflicts and grievances between them seemed to have quietly dissipated through successive joint battles.
“Hm? What’s that?”
Suddenly, Lin Da’s eyebrows rose as he observed a group of Black-armored Knights of imposing stature making their way toward the villa from downstairs.
“Is this the Judgment Knight Order that Lulu mentioned, coming to investigate the mysterious Light Rank? As expected of a direct force from the Royal Capital, all at level 49! Eh, that leader… A Light Rank!?”
