After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 652 - 467, 20th floor of the Great Mystery Continent opens: Mist Realm_2
"Not yet," Lin Da shook his head, "The next level is much more difficult; currently, we can only manage a 'normal' clear."
He walked towards the shimmering pile of spoils of war and said, "Let's tidy up and head back to White Dove City, prepare for Level 20."
"Okay," Lulu responded.
After some time, Lin Da had finished tallying the spoils.
After clearing Level 21, Phoenix Tail Flower Team obtained 130 Purple Gold Coins.
One piece of Level 42 Epic Two-Star Equipment.
Two pieces of rare Orange Equipment, Level 42.
"Another epic, not bad..."
Lin Da, holding an earring shaped like a rhinoceros horn, smiled.
The chance of an Epic Two-Star Monster dropping epic equipment is about 10%.
Meanwhile, a Legendary Two-Stars Monster's chance of dropping legendary equipment is only about 2%.
It's quite normal that a hard fight yields mostly junk.
This time, Phoenix Tail Flower achieved a Perfect Clear, doubling the drop rate.
That means, the chance of the Black Armored Demon Rhino dropping epic loot was 20%.
Cough cough... still quite lucky.
This [Black Rhino Earring] matched well with Lin Da, so he kept it.
The two orange equipment went to Monica and Kafni.
"Moon Rank epic equipment averages 10 million each, orange at 4 million; roughly calculating, this Level 21 raid saved us 28 million gold coins!"
You don't realize until you do the math; Lin Da was shocked.
Between the ransom cash handed over by Fry and others, along with the inventory and Lulu's team savings card, they totaled 38 million...
Perfectly clearing Level 21, taking 30 minutes, effectively netted them 28 million.
Adventuring really is the quickest way to wealth!" Lin Da couldn't help but marvel.
Beyond that, he also received an unusual system notification.
[Due to your level increase, Legendary Weapon has been enhanced, now Serpent Shadow Patterned Sword +1, Magic Power increased by 300!]
Legendary Weapons can be enhanced up to +10 normally, which would increase Magic Power by an additional 3000 points.
Lin Da drew the Serpent Shadow Patterned Sword; the purple gem on it had deepened in color.
A fully enhanced Legendary Weapon is extremely dominant; it can almost crush adventurers of the same level.
"Equipping everyone with Legendary equipment is too difficult, but it's hopeful to arm each member with a Legendary Weapon," Lin Da thought.
Of all equipment, weapons provide the greatest increase in power.
Storing all the war trophies into his ring, Lin Da said, "Let's go back, we've been gone seven days; I wonder how Snow Goose and Ice Flower are doing."
Lulu and the others showed eager expressions.
If four adventure teams could enter Level 20 together, safety would greatly increase.
Lin Da led the squad into the blue Teleportation Array.
A burst of light fell, and when they opened their eyes again, they were beneath the World Tree.
"Captain Lin Da, congratulations on breaking through Level 21," said a middle-aged man with brown short hair, dressed in a neat suit, cheerfully.
Lin Da smiled and politely said, "Chairman Movido, we've caused you trouble."
Outsiders entering the World Tree need to register at the local Adventurers' Guild. When the counter lady heard Lin Da was challenging Level 21, she immediately reported it to Movido, the new chairman of Red Heart City's Adventurers' Guild.
Although adventurers from Red Heart City had many complaints about Lin Da, Chairman Movido was easy to talk to. This challenge was also arranged by Movido's personal carriage.
"Congratulations. I was hoping to spar with you, but it seems there'll be no chance for a while," said a red-haired adventurer wrapped in bandages, smiling playfully at Lin Da.
"Captain Alajie," Lin Da nodded in acknowledgment.
The other's status was a seasoned Dawn-level Adventure Group, leader of the Red Heart Adventure Group. Even Alajie came to greet Phoenix Tail Flower, granting them full honors.
Noticing Lin Da's strange gaze, Alajie pointed to his bandages and said nonchalantly:
"Just a flesh wound; the Magic Circuit is fine. I'll be almost recovered after a month in bed.
But for you guys, first time on level 20, you can never be too careful.
Personally, I suggest dragging it out a few months, til everyone's average level is 43 before you go."
"Thanks for your concern, but the resources inside are too attractive, can't keep my legs in check," Lin Da smiled and said, "We'll take our leave now, Captain Alajie. Please take good care of yourself; hopefully, we'll fight side by side on Level 20 in the future."
"It's a deal." Alajie's eyes brightened, "My team members have all been eager to test your shield."
In a cordial atmosphere, Lin Da and his group spread their wings and flew towards White Dove City.
"Chairman, how long did they take to clear Level 21?"
Watching the back of Phoenix Tail Flower Team, the playful smile disappeared from Alajie's face as he asked sternly.
"25 minutes. To be exact... 25 minutes and 17 seconds!"
Movido massaged his temples and sighed, "If the citizens are no longer content, we have no choice but to make good relations with White Dove City."

Upon hearing the number 25 minutes, Alajie grimaced with a headache.
When the Red Heart Adventure Group entered the 21st floor, it took them a full 90 minutes.
Just clearing out the plague bats exhausted the Mage in the team to the point of vomiting.
They were numerous, had thicker skins, and could even spray poison.
It was unknown how the Phoenix Tail Flower Team managed to solve it.
"President, speaking of the Ice Abyss assessment, it happens next month, right? Are we in Red Heart City still signing up?"
Once on the carriage, Alajie chatted idly.
"Slo has died, and Dawen deregistered his adventurer origin from Red Heart City, how do we sign up?"
Movido couldn't help but laugh and cry, "There's no one left."
The only two Eight-Star Rated adventurers, one dead, and the other gone.
There was someone named Lia...
She had transferred to White Dove City.
Apparently, she was even Lin Da's "mistress," the kind without rank or recognition.
In a blink, the thriving Red Heart City had quieted down.
The sky seemed gloomier.
"This mess isn't easy to handle," President Movido sighed once more.
...
The next morning, Lin Da and his group arrived at White Dove City.
To avoid being recognized by fervent fans, they all wore black robes.
Walking down the central street, they bought some food nearby while listening for any recent news.
At the entrance to the tavern, many adventurers were chatting enthusiastically, an excellent place to gather information.
Lin Da listened closely:
"Incredible, Captain Snow Goose somehow got a legendary accessory and with one sword strike chopped off a claw of the great demon crab on the 18th floor!"
"Yeah, I've never seen such a powerful Swordsman, a real tigress. Only the captain of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team could handle such a person."
"You know, my [Bursting Flames] figurine's price has tripled, with Snow Goose's promotion to Sunrise Level, it can still increase."
"The White Dove Adventure Group on the Sunrise Level, Snow Goose and Ice Flower are preparing to conquer the 19th floor, the times are changing!"
Several adventurers gathered in small groups, their faces smiling.
With the advent of numerous Sunrise Levels, adventurers' allowances visibly increased. Anyone who reached Level 10 and entered the World Tree within the month could receive a minimum of 10 Gold Coins.
Previously, there was nothing.
"Hehe, if only we could form a Dawn-level Adventure Group, I heard that those above Level 10 can instantly receive a minimum of 100 Gold Coins in benefits."
A chubby adventurer fantasized joyfully.
"Hahaha."
The crowd laughed kindly, not having the heart to shatter the fat adventurer's dream.
Lin Da, who was passing by, looked contemplative.
Snow Goose and Ice Flower, breaking through the 18th floor.
At this rate, their promotion to Sunrise Level was almost guaranteed.
Just as Lin Da was about to enter a shop to buy some magical beast meat...
"World Tree announcement, World Tree announcement, in five days, the 20th floor of the Great Mystery Continent will open! This time's blessing: Mist Realm!"
A newsboy, shaking his newspaper energetically with one hand and holding a megaphone in the other, shouted.
The majority of people were indifferent.
The excitement was really at the opening of the 5th floor of the Great Mystery Continent.
The 20th floor had nothing to do with 99% of the adventurers.
Only some rich or extremely idle people would buy a copy to see.
"Please give me a copy."
Lin Da rummaged through his pockets, all he had was Gold Coins, reluctantly handing one over.
"Sir, I can't make change," the newsboy said awkwardly.
"Keep the change."
Taking the newspaper, Lin Da and his teammates departed.
The newsboy held the Gold Coin in a daze, then suddenly thought that the voice sounded familiar.
"Was... was that Captain Lin Da? Captain Lin Da just bought my newspaper!"
The newsboy's shout immediately caught the attention of many passersby.
