Chapter 91: 91. Lin Da and the Treasury of the Scarlet Adventure Group (Requesting First Subscription)
Fire Damage 10%, strength 300.
It's a purely Fire Swordmaster equipment without any redundant attributes.
It's like having no excess fat on the belly, all the muscle concentrated in the biceps.
In the world of the Mystic Continent, even among purple equipment, there are levels of superiority.
Some equipment boosts both strength and magic power, or oddly enough, adds defense when agility is needed—these situations are common.
No wonder Lia cherished this equipment so much and refused to give it to him.
The only pity was that Lin Da wasn't a Fire Swordmaster.
This equipment also required level 20 to use.
Given to him, it would just sit collecting dust in storage.
Considering everything, selling it was the best choice.
A standard level 20 purple accessory would price around 20,000 Gold Coins.
But Lia's piece, with perfectly added attributes, could easily sell for 30,000 Gold Coins.
The Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team's first sum of money looks set.
"You won without any glory at all."
Lia's voice rang out as the girl wrapped her arms around her slim chest and said, "If you dare, go to the fifth level of the Great Mystery Continent and have a team battle with the Snow Goose Adventure Team."
A team battle?
Lin Da raised an eyebrow and sized up Lia.
Kafni had told him in bed not long ago that Lia had leveled up to 24.
A level 24 higher-tier Blazing Swordsman, equipped with a full set of purple gear, and all her 'talent points' invested in combat like a panda... this red-haired girl was harder to deal with than some bosses.
Add Aiko and Klrona to the mix, both of whom were not inferior to Lia.
The Snow Goose Adventure Team did possess substantial raw power.
Lin Da shrugged, "Why should I fight you? The Great Mystery Continent is for adventurers to gather resources, not for you to pick fights."
"Fine then, I'll just steal your resources!"
"Attack the local adventure team in White Dove City and you'll be despised by others," Lin Da said calmly.
"So what? Can playing house with those weaklings make you stronger?" Lia's eyes sparkled with confidence. "Becoming the strongest adventure team in White Dove City is just Snow Goose's first minor goal. In the future, I plan to dominate the Southern Fire Empire!"
Was this guy drunk?
Talking big-time!
Lin Da said, "Suit yourself."
After speaking, he planned to leave with Kafni and the others.
Lia watched his retreating figure, silently competitive, thinking she must defeat the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team to show everyone how the traitors of Snow Goose would fall to her.
Phoenix Tail Flower must not be more formidable than Snow Goose.
Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that she, not they, was wrong?
The doubts of team members like Oru had shaken Lia's once invincible confidence.
Everyone kept talking about Lin Da, Lin Da!
Only Aiko and Chloe remained loyal to her camp.
'I need to prove to the team members that replacing Lin Da with another Healer was the right choice!'
'As the captain, my decision was correct!'
Lia reignited her fighting spirit.
"Please wait a moment."
At that moment, Lady Bellini called out to Lin Da.
Lia felt a bit upset. Why did it seem like Lin Da was Lady Bellini's closest person? Her mother was always siding with Lin Da and criticizing her.
But she was Bellini's daughter, wasn't she?
Lady Bellini gratefully took Lin Da's right hand, "Lin Da, please let me repay you. You saved me; how could I let you leave empty-handed? It's my husband's family teaching to repay kindness..."
"What? You still want to repay Lin Da? He already stole my Blazing Bracelet!" Lia exclaimed angrily.
"Losing to Lin Da and mom wanting to repay Lin Da are two different things, you know?"
Lady Bellini gently tapped Lia's head and scolded her with an intense look.
Then she gestured to Lin Da, "Let me take you to the treasury of the Crimson Adventure Group, please don't refuse!"
The treasury of the Crimson Adventure Group?
Lin Da's heart stirred.
There must be quite a few good things inside.
He nodded, "Then I won't be polite."
"Please follow me," Lady Bellini said gently, swaying as she led the way.
A group of people followed Lady Bellini, heading out of the room.
Lia, on the other hand, ate sullenly at the table, the bones in her steak making a crackling sound.
It was as if she was pouting at her mother who didn't care about her.
But there was no helping it.
Lady Bellini needed to treat Lin Da, her benefactor, with due seriousness.
With Lin Da's help, she could continuously reduce the witch's corruption in her body and live like a normal person.
To achieve the goal of survival, Lady Bellini was willing to pay any price!
All of this was actually for Lia.
As a mother, Lady Bellini wanted to see the day her daughter grew up.
...
The group went downstairs and arrived at the mansion's basement.
The light was dim here, Lady Bellini led the way with a magic lamp to a circular heavy stone door.
She took out a long bronze key from her bosom and inserted it into the recess of the stone door.
Immediately after, a heavy 'click-click' loosening sound followed, and the circular stone door retracted to the right.
Lin Da looked inside, at the end of a red carpet, there were many shelves embedded in the wall, each shelf with its own compartments forming grids of various sizes.
In each grid, there was either a piece of equipment or an item.
The lowest quality was blue rare.
Looking around, there were thousands of such grids!
Breathtaking.
No wonder they are one of the top families in Red Heart City, The Mandalas.
Lin Da sighed.
From the setting of the game "Great Mystery Continent," it was known that The Mandalas had a history of hundreds of years, with each generation guarded by a Steel Level Adventure Group.
The wealth accumulated over a long period was unimaginable to ordinary people.
In the future, there would even be a Heavenly Rank Adventurer as high as level 50, "Bursting Flames" Lia, leading The Mandalas to new heights.

But with his arrival, the future trajectory of The Mandalas had changed.
Whether she could still become a Heavenly Rank Adventurer like in the game remained an unknown.
"Lin Da, please come in alone," Lady Bellini said apologetically, "The treasury is a crucial place for The Mandalas, and I can only bring one person in."
The treasury was strictly guarded by magic arrays, and everyone's entry and exit were recorded. Even as the Third Lady of the family, Lady Bellini dared not make decisions on her own.
"I understand," Lin Da said to Kafni, "You and Monica wait outside for a while."
"Alright," Kafni reluctantly pouted.
Monica whispered, "I, I want to stay with Captain."
"Be good, Captain will be back soon," Lin Da said with a smile, comforting her.
Then he nodded to Lady Bellini, following the lady into the treasury.
