After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

"I want Lord Captain to feed me too!"

"Sigh, there's really no way to deal with Monica."

"Crunch! Crunch!"

Lulu sat in the corner of the carriage, her face cold as her sharp canine teeth easily bit the fruit in half.

It was then that Lin Da remembered something.

"Lulu, you have some too."

He placed the fruit in the palm of his hand, cut it into small pieces with a fruit knife, took a toothpick out of his space ring, and handed a piece to Lulu.

Lulu's bushy tail gently swayed as she opened her mouth and contentedly ate the fruit piece Lin Da handed her.

Lin Da felt somewhat embarrassed.

It seems that having too many team members isn't necessarily a good thing.

The next day.

Although there was no festival, it was the day when the Bluebird Press, the biggest newspaper in Cangqing Province, released its "Adventurer's Weekly".

There was a section in the Adventurer's Weekly called "Gathering of Heroes" which introduced some adventurers who had made a name for themselves in different cities over the past week.

Being featured in the Adventurer's Weekly was like gilding one's resume.

The most famous adventure academies in the Southern Fire Empire require their students to appear at least once in their local provincial weekly.

Abner, who had such an experience, had received an invitation from Azure Sky University located in Cyan City, the capital of Cangqing Province.

The university's dean was a retired adventurer of high rank.

At his peak, he was well-known throughout the entire empire.

It was said he had served in an adventure team that was 'most likely to reach the top of the World Tree'.

The dean's involvement further enhanced the reputation of Azure Sky University.

Upon entering Azure Sky University, adventurers would receive professional combat training and scholarly education.

Graduates from this university were highly sought after by countless adventure teams.

The most popular among them were pure damage-dealing roles and scholars.

Adventure teams below the Iron Level didn't even qualify to invite them to join.

And today, someone else received an invitation from Azure Sky University.

The invitee was from an unnamed small city.

So much so that people had to check the map for a while to learn that this city belonged to Cangqing Province.

The person was titled "Eye of True Knowledge", named Lin Da.

He was currently the leader of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, at the Rock level.

What's noteworthy is that this time the invitation from Azure Sky University was not sent by the admissions department but by the beautiful and aloof dean herself!

This made many people wonder, especially the adventurers from Cyan City.

They considered themselves 'lords' within the province, and even across the entire empire, Cyan City was well-regarded. In their eyes, a place like White Dove City was comparable to a backward rural area.

An adventurer from a small village could only jump so high, no matter how capable.

Being invited by the admissions department of Azure Sky University was something to rejoice for over eight generations.

But it was White Dove City.

About this city, adventurers from other places didn't have much memory, but the locals in Cyan City had almost all heard of it.

The reason was that the admissions department of Azure Sky University had once invited Abner, the leader of the White Dove Adventure Group.

And he had refused.

The mentality of the adventurers from Cyan City was: How dare you?

The chance to reach the heavens was in front of you, and you rejected it?

Adventurers joked among themselves: Now White Dove City will be blacklisted by Azure Sky University, and no one from there should even dream of getting in.

Yet...

Azure Sky University sent out another invitation.

But this time, it was the dean herself who issued the invitation!

Ever since she took up the position, she had been indifferent to admissions, leaving everything to the admissions department.

But unexpectedly, because of an adventurer named Lin Da from White Dove City, she made an exception and extended an invitation.

Everyone was curious about who Lin Da was to have the dean personally invite him?

The Adventurer's Weekly thoughtfully included Lin Da's portrait at the bottom and recounted his deeds.

Everyone featured in "Gathering of Heroes" surely had some outstanding achievements. Without such records, even if someone offered a lot of Gold Coins, Adventurer's Weekly wouldn't publish their story.

In the tavern, a red-haired Tigress with round beast ears and a black and white patterned tail was gnawing on a succulent pork leg while glancing at the newspaper in her hand.

"Having been out for over a month now, Mingli and the others should be okay, right?"

The red-haired Tigress only wore a leather bustier and shorts, revealing her healthy wheat-colored skin. With a slender and flexible waist, the contours of her abs were faintly visible.

She sat on the chair with her legs splayed out carelessly, unconcerned about the lecherous stares from around her.

Her name was Taige, the leader of the Dark Flame Adventure Team, at the Sunrise Level.

Originally, Taige came to ask the dean of Azure Sky University some questions, but she got attracted by the rich atmosphere of adventure here and decided to stay for a few months before returning to Black Mamba City.

Her fluffy tigertail wrapped around her waist as she savored a bite of roasted pork leg and spread out the newspaper, looking at it intently.

["Adventurer Lin Da, 23 years old, current captain of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team. Mature and steady, gentle to people, with an excellent reputation, possesses outstanding Shield Skills, and a very high level of Life Barrier thickness, adept at standing in the front lines, fending off Magical Creatures."]

["Occupation: Healing Mage. Role: Support."]

Taige: ?

The girl blinked in confusion.

She even forgot to take another bite of her favourite roasted pork leg.

If I'm not mistaken, this Lin Da is support?

And yet his strongest suit is fighting Magical Creatures at the forefront?

Well, why not just claim that the Elf race is never promiscuous?

Guess even the Adventurer's Weekly makes typographical errors...
