After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Talking about the latter part, Lin Da's voice involuntarily rose.

The biggest difference between the resource zone and the public adventure area is that the former has a rich quantity of vegetation.

The chances of finding a Fruit of the World Tree significantly increase.

The resource zone allocated to the Phoenix Tail Flower belongs to high-quality resources.

Initially, Lin Da had no concrete concept.

Not until he saw those ten Bronze Trees with his own eyes.

The rare vegetation in the resource zone is fixed, unlike in the public areas where it refreshes randomly each time the Great Mystery Continent opens. This means that every time Phoenix Tail Flower enters the tenth floor, those ten Bronze Trees are there, guaranteeing a considerable amount of resources.

Just ten Bronze Trees are enough for Lin Da and his team's expenses after retirement.

[Is this entire area Phoenix Tail Flower's resource zone? Isn't it too vast?]

[The neighboring Rock-level Adventure Team is also newly promoted, so how come their resource zone is not even one-tenth of Phoenix Tail Flower's?]

[What third-rate stuff is the Battle Axe? Captain Lin Da's battle record is remarkable; it's only natural for his resource zone to be large.]

A group of 'Phoenix Scholars' appeared in the suggestions, explaining the rise of Phoenix Tail Flower to the bystanders.

From the Monster Tide to defeating the Epic Monsters and getting featured in Adventurer's Weekly, receiving invitations from Azure Sky University...

If Phoenix Tail Flower doesn't claim such a high-quality large resource zone, then no one else deserves to.

While everyone was arguing, Lin Da walked over to the Bronze Fruit Trees.

This strange fruit tree was three meters tall, with a rather slender trunk and brown leaves shaped like apple leaves.

On average, each tree had ten bright red Fruits of the World Tree.

Lin Da picked them all and obtained a total of 50, spending 500 Material Points.

Lulu grinned, "It's time to throw away the Mondale Tree fruits, and maybe the Bronze Tree fruits, too."

That suddenly revealed gentle smile made Lin Da's eyelids twitch, and he felt like giving Lulu a kiss.

The smiling werewolf girl's charm directly increased by 20 points.

Gathering 50 Bronze Tree fruits, the remaining point in the Material Bracelet dropped to 260. Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

But it was only noon, a long time before the 0 point refresh of the Material Points cap.

Filling up 260 points was more than sufficient.

Lin Da furrowed his brow, realizing he had two options in front of him.

One was to keep searching for materials, while discarding the cheap ones to maximize profits.

For instance, Bronze Tree fruits worth 10 points could only be sold for 1000 Gold Coins, whereas 50 points worth of Haru Ore could fetch 20,000 Gold.

The latter's value was much higher.

The second choice was to use Lia's Material Bracelet, offering her a share of the profits as compensation.

"If Isa were here, it would be less risky to store materials with Lia," Lin Da sighed inwardly.

After searching in the Phoenix Tail Flower resource zone, Lin Da found three more pieces of Haru Ore, a piece of Storm Hawk dung, the multipurpose spice Orange Grass, Mage-used Green Devil Grass...

Spending another 220 Material Points.

The total value was around 85,000 Gold Coins,

Adding to this the Wind Stones and other items in the Material Bracelet, Phoenix Tail Flower's current total income amounted to 280,000 Gold.

Under the blazing sun, Lin Da gasped in astonishment.

This speed of accumulating wealth was even faster than selling Dream Herbs.

Outside the Lumiscreen, many adventurers thought entering the tenth floor and earning Gold Coins would be that easy.

They became highly motivated, swearing in their hearts.

They absolutely had to enter the tenth floor of the Great Mystery Continent and bag money.

Only a few wise ones realized that Lin Da's luck was somewhat outrageous.

The neighboring Valiant Adventure Team, having learned Lin Da's mining method through adventurers communicating between halls.

But after digging for a while, they didn't find a single piece of Haru Ore.

They found nothing but worthless residue.

Lin Da's method was effective.

99% theoretical knowledge, paired with 1% luck.

Only then could one find rare materials as if drinking water, like Lin Da.

...

"Over an hour has passed; it's time to meet up with Snow Goose," Lin Da thought.

Lin Da took out the palm-sized magic scroll named "Signal Flare" and injected magic power into it.

The scroll turned into a green light and, with thick smoke, it shot into the sky, exploding into a giant pattern of a Phoenix Tail Flower.

About ten miles away.

A girl was standing under the Mondale Tree, waving her arms and shouting excitedly, "Oru, come over and pick up this poop, it's worth over 15,000 Gold Coins!"

After searching the resource area for more than an hour, Lia found the most valuable material, which was the pile of white, dry bird droppings in front of her.

It was Storm Hawk dung with a strong pungent smell, capable of driving away weaker magical creatures!

At that moment, a green signal flare rose in the eastern sky, exploding into the pattern of a Phoenix Tail Flower.

In a short while, Snow Goose and the Phoenix Tail Flower met.

"How was your harvest?" Lin Da asked.

"Not bad," Lia said, "And you?"

"Almost full."

?

Lia was taken aback for a moment, then, surprised, she pointed at his wrist material bracelet: "How many material points are left?"

Lin Da replied, "260."

At this, everyone from the Snow Goose fell silent.

Even though Aiko, the undercover rich girl, wasn't short on money, she was still shocked by Lin Da's luck.

Since the opening of the 10th floor of the Great Mystery Continent, hardly two hours had passed, and Lin Da's material bracelet was almost full?

Even the White Dove Adventure Group couldn't achieve such an inconceivable speed!

"I want to borrow yours for a while, a split of... not 91, but 82." Lin Da noticed Lia's gloomy face and changed the originally planned split from 91 to 82. It seemed her debt wasn't cleared yet, so he decided to give her a bit more.

"Okay then." Lia finally nodded reluctantly.

The two reached an agreement and together looked forward.

They saw a scenery of a barren tropical savanna: plenty of withered weeds, bushes, orange Mondale Trees, and the blazing hot sun overhead.

Outside the resource area, the danger of the public area increased several times.

Magical creatures hidden in the dark, powerful Wilderness Guardians, and adventurers from outside White Dove City made it quite a challenge.

Teams lacking in confidence, after harvesting the resources from their private lands, would leave the Great Mystery Continent.

Only teams that had either a stroke of luck or confidence in their strength would venture into the vast public area.

"Let's go, let's see if we can find the specialty of the 10th floor of the Great Mystery Continent, the Sky Flower worth 300 material points."

Lin Da, accompanied by the members of Phoenix Tail Flower and Snow Goose, boldly entered the public adventure area.

...

In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.

The time shifted from midday to dusk.

The sun was setting, and the temperature also dropped a bit.

On the plains, giraffes were munching on the fruits of the Mondale Trees, and a lion was lurking in the bushes, ready to pounce.

The most spectacular sight was certainly the World Tree in White Dove City, which overshadowed everything.

The Great Mystery Continent seemed like a disc placed on top of the mainland, connected by the World Tree as an elevator, linking both realms.

From any layer of the Great Mystery Continent, one could see the existence of the World Tree.

Suddenly, 30 miles south of White Dove City's World Tree, amidst a cluster of Mondale Trees.

"Hehehe, Captain Minnie, I don't like bullying women, so if you know what's good, just hand over the resources from your bracelet. Otherwise, don't blame my spear for being heartless and making you embarrass yourselves live." The man had short red hair like steel needles and wore a black leather jacket; he flicked his earwax toward Minnie.

This man, named Dennis, was a captain of an Iron-Level Adventure Team from Red Heart City, skilled with a long spear and known as the "Flaming Gunman."

Dennis had recently advanced to level 33, stepping beyond the despised designation of a 'newbie Iron-Level captain.'

Since there were more than ten Iron Level teams in Red Heart City alone, exploring in the local public area was highly risky, far less advantageous than ruling over White Dove City.

As soon as the 10th floor of the Great Mystery Continent opened, Dennis rushed to White Dove City with his 'Flame Adventure Team.'

Today, he was lucky to have found a Ginkgo tree and had also caught a Rock-Level Adventure Team from White Dove City.

Dennis sneered, spear on shoulder, and bluntly stared at the pale-faced girl opposite him.

He had caught Captain Minnie of the 'Slay the Evil Dragon Adventure Team.'

The girl's green hair was tied into two large buns, she clutched a long spear in her arms, her legs were trembling, and behind her, her team members glared angrily at her.

To Dennis, they looked like a bunch of mice caught by a cat; even their angry faces seemed adorably foolish.
