After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Having bid farewell to Fat Third Brother, Lin Da entered Dafei City through the channel reserved for high-level adventurers.

It truly was a big city, bustling from the moment he stepped in.

Under the dazzling sunlight, buildings filled with a fantastical style soared high, streets were wide and neat, and luxurious dragon mounts could be seen everywhere.

On this main road, Lin Da even encountered five adventurers of Upgraded Moon Rank!

In the Southern Baihong Region, such a scene was unthinkable.

When adventurers of Moon Rank appear, it normally causes a sensation, with a crowd of reporters following and fans trailing them like zombies.

But in Dafei City, it seemed to be a common sight.

"How many Upgraded Moon Ranks are there here? It seems the citizens are used to this," Lin Da said, chatting idly with his teammates while ordering food in a restaurant's private room.

The waitress, a dark-skinned elf girl with a single ponytail, spoke energetically:

"Are you a foreigner? Our Dafei City has 57 Sunrise Level adventure teams, with nearly a thousand people at Moon Rank!

Of course, there are many like you who come here for various tasks, utilizing the World Tree, attending auctions, participating in Magical Creatures subjugation...

Including those from other places, the total number reaches about 2000."

Two thousand?

Lin Da was shocked.

Dafei City is only ranked 56th in Cangqing Province, yet it's so much stronger than White Dove City.

Kafni exclaimed, "Our White Dove City didn't even have a single Sunrise Level team just a month ago!"

"That's because the strong attract each other," the dark-skinned elf said with subtle pride, a slight disdain of city dwellers for rural magnates in her voice, she then said with a professional smile, "Six special chef-selected Magical Creatures sets, would that be alright?"

"One more wheat beer, five orange juices, large bottles," Lin Da added.

"Alright, that will be ten Purple Gold Coins in total."

Lin Da: "How much?"

"Ten Purple Gold Coins, sir."

"Alright then..."

Lin Da took out his savings card.

After the black-skinned elf girl left, Lin Da couldn't help but marvel, feeling like Aunt Liu entering the Grand View Garden. A shop casually entered off the commercial street even offered Magical Creatures cuisine.

In White Dove City, only the most luxurious hotel on Central Street had it at the beginning of each month, and even then, it was frozen with a very poor effect on replenishing Magic Power.

Indeed, it affirmed the girl's statement that "the strong attract each other." Dafei City's World Tree supports up to 26 layers, and with its many other facilities, the availability of Magical Creatures cuisine was just one small part of it.

The benefit of such big places is the ability to swap team members; if adventure team A lacks an Earth Mage on the 21st floor, and adventure team B lacks a shooter, they can exchange as needed.

This results in places with more adventurers of Moon Rank becoming even more populous.

Smaller places can't retain people.

White Dove City had also produced Sunrise Level adventurers in the past, but they either fell in the Ten Thousand Mountains or transferred to bigger cities.

"To think even a waitress looks down on someone from a small place,"

Recalling the girl's indifferent look, Lin Da sighed in his heart.

Before long, their ordered Magical Creatures set meal arrived.

The main dish was a roasted leg of lamb accompanied by many vegetables, plus stacks of delicate small dishes whose names he couldn't recall, giving off the feeling of a high-end Western meal.

The rich aroma of Magic Power hit them, Lin Da's nose twitched, feeling the Magic Circuits within him stir like snakes awakening from hibernation, his mouth watering.

The group feasted, savoring the delightful flavors on the tip of their tongues.

Ten minutes later, they were picking their teeth, lying contentedly back in their chairs and resting.

"Magical Creatures cuisine is indeed fantastic," Lin Da praised.

Glancing at his personal panel's Experience Points bar, one meal had increased it by eight thousand.

After advancing to Moon Rank, it was the first time Lin Da truly understood what "feeling full" felt like.

After finishing this Magical Creatures set meal, Lin Da felt like there was a light in his eyes now, and using Magic Heart Slash now, its power would be at least ten percent higher than usual.

Kafni said enviously, "It would be great if we could stay here permanently."

"The Magical Creatures set meal is so delicious," Monica said contentedly, rubbing her round belly.

Lin Da smiled and said, "Hang on until we go to Cyan City, the cuisine there is even better than this."

After leaving the restaurant, they found a nearby hotel to stay in.

As the sun set, it quickly became 11 PM.

"Shall we go?" Lulu suggested.

"Yes, let's go!"

Lin Da took out the black robes they had prepared and donned them with his teammates, heading towards the town square.

The Secret Realm Square in Dafei City was over five times the size of the one in White Dove City.

It had statues of the Goddess in every direction and, considering adventurer's privacy, featured rooms specially designed to block magic perception.

Such facilities cost over twenty thousand Purple Gold Coins!

This was one of the reasons Lin Da had chosen to come to Dafei City.

Sacrificing so many demonic horns in White Dove City would undoubtedly have raised suspicions, but Dafei City's magic-blocking facilities largely solved this issue.

The building was a square black structure with dense Magic Runes carved into its walls, each one inscribed painstakingly with chisel-fulls of Magic Core Powder by Array Masters.

If wood and earth system adventurers are the workhorses, Array Masters are undoubtedly the senior technical managers.

A green light was on above, indicating it was available.

Lin Da wrapped his robe tighter and pushed open the door.

They entered one by one and quickly shut the door behind them.

The external Magic Runes began to light up one after another, emitting a milky white glow that made it impossible for even a Heavenly Rank Adventurer at level 70 to perceive what was happening inside.

Once inside, Lin Da's biggest sensation was one of chest tightness. The Magic Circuits were suppressed by the Array, and the strong external blocking had some negative effects on those inside.

But this made Lin Da feel even more at ease. He was worried that the effect of the Array wouldn't be strong enough, and the fluctuations from the sacrifice would leak out.
