Chapter 62: 62, Registered Squad
Lulu stepped out of the line, walking expressionlessly toward that direction.
Lin Da wanted to call out to her, but after thinking it over, he withdrew his hand.
Was the real Lulu the same as the righteous and kind Lulu in the game?
Three years had passed, and she had become a witch, had anything changed?
Lin Da chose to stand aside and watch.
As Lulu walked over, she exuded an iceberg-like aura.
A trace of her high-level strength seeped out, drawing the attention of everyone around.
Many who sympathized with the young female adventurer who had been cut in line felt a hint of retreat at Lulu's arrival.
The Minotaur named Mali laughed cheerfully, with a flattering smile, "Miss Werewolf, that human discriminated against us beastmen, you must help me!"
Mali, who thought he had obtained a strong ally, was all smiles.
But in the next moment,
a slap struck Mali's face with the speed of lightning.
It resounded with a smack in the hall!
The slap sent Mali spinning in the air, but he landed firmly back in place, his right cheek swelling up considerably.
"Get out," Lulu said indifferently.
"Huh?" Mali, holding his face, hadn't caught on yet.
Being both beastmen, why wouldn't this werewolf help him?
"Don't disturb me in line, get out."
Lulu repeated coldly, her gaze icy.
The Minotaur Mali, under Lulu's glare, felt as if he were back in the days when his ancestors were hunted by wolf packs.
The fear in his bloodline made Mali tremble, and he scurried out of the Adventurer's Guild without looking back.
A group of onlooking beastmen felt enraged.
"Hey, aren't you a beastman? Why are you helping the humans!"
The speaker was a Black Bear Beastman, whose bloodline rank was high among the beastmen.
However, after being glanced at by Lulu, the Black Bear Beastman was so frightened that he immediately shut his mouth, sweating profusely down his back.
This werewolf... was definitely not an ordinary wild wolf!
With her level also being high, none of the beastmen present likely surpassed her in might.
The Black Bear and the other beastmen reluctantly lowered their heads.
Lin Da looked at Lulu, who had walked back to the line as if nothing had happened, and gave her a thumbs up, "Well done."
"I just can't stand bullying," Lulu replied calmly.
In contrast to the group of beastmen who walked away muttering under their breath, there was a chorus of cheers from the humans.
"A beastman miss with upright values, love it."
"High-born werewolves are different, indeed. What about Minotaur, Boarhead—they are just not fully evolved!"
"If only all the beastmen on the continent were like this werewolf."
Lulu felt uncomfortable with being the subject of discussion, her eyebrows knitting together as she coldly scanned the crowd, "Can you shut up?"
Her slightly angry tone silenced the group of adventurers.
This werewolf was beautiful, but she seemed difficult to get along with.
An adventurer noticed Lin Da standing next to Lulu.
After several newspapers' promotions, Lin Da, known as "Ultimate Pervert," had become widely known.
Why were they walking together?
A man with a beard smiled familiarly in greeting, "Yo, Lin..."
"Ahem, ahem, quite nice weather we're having today, huh?"
Lin Da smiled amicably, his eyes filled with a threatening glint.
"Uh, it is nice," replied the bearded man, swallowing his saliva and looking at Lulu beside him, curious, "Are you here to...?"
"Form a team," Lin Da responded.
A stir went through the crowd.
Many were speculating whether Lin Da would join the Ice Flower Adventure Team after leaving his team.
Isa had expressed her admiration for Lin Da on multiple occasions.
She had declared she would eventually bring him into Ice Flower.
But he was planning to form his own team?
The whiskered man looked towards Lin Da and the two beautiful girls by his side, one tall and one short, one big and one small, and said admiringly, "Impressive!"
Impressive my ass, one has no deity, the other is a killing machine as a beastman.
Lin Da muttered in his heart.
The surrounding adventurers looked at him with strange gazes, probably misunderstanding, thinking that Kafni and Lulu were his new "harem".
Lulu's expression visibly turned sour.
Some adventurers whispered filthy topics, grinning lewdly, letting their imagination run wild about her unspeakable relationship with Lin Da.
"Awoo!"
A wolf howl echoed through the hall, making everyone shudder.
When Lulu released the aura of magic power inside her, the area around her quieted down a lot, and those discussing vulgar topics dared not speak anymore.
A pair of eyes, filled with a bit of shock.
This beastman girl must be at least level 20!
A level 20 adventurer, wherever they go in White Dove City, would be met with awe from everyone.
Those adventurers discussing vulgar topics were terrified and quietly withdrew from the group, planning to come back tomorrow to re-queue.
The crowd also tacitly moved apart, giving Lin Da and his company about half a meter of space.
It would be terrible if one accidentally touched that beastman girl who was as cold as ice.
Seeing the others, it seemed she only allowed Lin Da to approach.
Other adventurers, especially the men, had barely approached when they received a silent glare of warning from the girl.
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim internally: Worthy of the one known as the Ultimate Pervert, Lin Da!
...
Half an hour passed, and Lin Da and his group reached the counter.
As per procedure, the staff handed each of three of them a form.
They needed to fill in their names, levels, and professions.
Lin Da wrote "Healing Mage" for the profession and filled in a "Lin" for the name.
The staff didn't say much about this, as the Adventurer's Guild's main criteria for determining a person's identity relied on the signature and palm print.
He wanted to sneak a peek at Lulu's form, but she covered it tightly. After noticing him trying to look, she frowned and glared at him.
Lin Da shook his head helplessly.
After filling in the forms, the staff member brought out a white Treasure Bead to test their levels, instructing the three of them to touch it in turn.
The first was Lin Da; upon his touch, the bead turned emerald green.
This indicated that his profession was of the Recovery Series.
Mist swirled within the bead, gradually forming an ancient magic rune.
Its meaning was the number "8".
The staff member checked the form.
Profession, Healing Mage, Recovery Series, Level, 8, no mistakes.
So, they stamped it.
Next was Kafni.
Thief, Damage Dealer, level, also at 8.
Stamped and approved!
Some onlooking adventurers heard Lin Da had changed professions and managed to go from level 0 to level 8 so quickly, they were somewhat surprised.
To those people's doubts, Lin Da smiled modestly and didn't explain.
The adventurers, however, seemed to realize that Lin Da must have had some extraordinary encounter in the wilderness, and they looked at him with envy.
Upon hearing this, Lulu unexpectedly turned to look at Lin Da.
This human, he changed profession? He was a level 15 Healer before?
It's well-known that the higher the level, the greater the risk of changing professions. Above level 20, the failure rate is over 99%.
Lulu felt some respect for Lin Da's courage; not everyone dare make the decision to change professions at level 15.
"Next," the flat, urging voice of the staff member sounded.
Lulu hesitated for a moment, then placed her hand on the Treasure Bead.
The white bead quickly turned to the 'red' of the warrior-series, the color much deeper than when Lin Da and Kafni took the test.
The mist swirled, shaping into two magic runes.
The number, 25!
Lulu's level reached the exceedingly lofty 25, far surpassing the average level of the Rock Squad!
Just 5 levels short of being called a Star-ranked adventurer, and becoming a true member of the upper echelons.
