After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 762 - 523, Ice Tower and the new Witch_2
Chapter 762: 523, Ice Tower and the new Witch_2
There was no sign of anyone in the living room, so Lin Da headed to the bedroom.
Hoo, hoo, hoo!
Lin Da frowned.
What loud snoring—it rivaled a construction site!
The bedroom was equally chaotic, with shattered glass test tubes covering the floor, gnawed frog legs, and a mountain of bread bags and drink bottles piled in the corner.
Thankfully, the freezing temperature inside the Ice Tower prevented maggots from breeding.
The bed was a mess, covered with garbage: bento boxes, fried chicken bags, pizza papers… It seemed that when Bailuo had hidden her here, he’d stuffed in a load of food along with her.
Pinching his nose, Lin Da rummaged through the trash on the bed.
He still couldn’t find anyone.
Listening closely, he realized the snoring sound was coming from the wardrobe nearby.
Filthy and messy, snoring like that, and opting to sleep in the wardrobe instead of a bed… This was a full stack of negative buffs.
Without even meeting her yet, Lin Da’s first impression of Bailuo’s friend had already hit rock bottom.
If she was one of his teammates, she’d have been spanked with a stick until her backside swelled.
“Hello, I’m here under Bailuo’s request to help you. Could you come out for a chat?”
Lin Da politely knocked on the wardrobe.
Snore~ Snore.
“Wake up?”
Snore~ Snore.
The sleep was too deep!
Unable to endure it anymore, Lin Da flung the wardrobe door open with a slap!
Swish.
A petite figure tumbled out.
Apparently, she had been sleeping with her head against the wardrobe. When Lin Da opened it, her head lost its support, and she fell forward.
Instinctively, Lin Da wanted to dodge.
But in a fleeting moment, he caught sight of her delicate sleeping face…
What a beautiful young girl!
Instead of dodging, Lin Da stepped back and instinctively opened his arms, catching her precisely.
He caught her securely in a princess carry.
“Mmm…”
The girl stirred awake when her head bumped against Lin Da’s solid chest muscles.
She rubbed her drowsy eyes, looking dazedly at the unfamiliar man holding her: “You… who are you…”
Her voice was weak, as if she had stayed up for three nights reading comic books, been squeezed dry by five succubi, and then fought in a tournament.
The possibility of her dropping dead any second didn’t seem far-fetched.
In Lin Da’s arms, the girl was soft, fragrant, and lovely, with naturally curly, vibrant green hair that tufted up in unruly cowlicks in several spots.
Her large eyes were heavy with sleep, her eyelids half-closed, and her petite nose was reddened from the cold.
She wore a white lab coat, under which a black shirt displayed a design of seven magic potion test tubes. Held in Lin Da’s arms, her smooth, soft, and chilly long legs rested against his forearm.
Her pale complexion evoked a pang of sympathy.
The green-haired girl yawned, looked like she wanted to say something, but promptly forgot and her head lolled to the side as she started snoring again.
Lin Da looked closely at the girl. She was so skinny and had panda-like dark circles under her eyes; he even thought he might’ve mistaken her identity.
But her speed of falling asleep confirmed it beyond a doubt…
The girl in his arms was none other than one of the original adventure team members—a [Sleepy Pharmacist] named Wendy, whose class was Magic Pharmacist!
Lin Da’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Just a week ago, he had planned to ask Bailuo where Wendy and Mimi were.
Who would’ve thought Bailuo’s witch friend was Wendy!
He really should’ve guessed sooner.
Bailuo was a cold and aloof person, rarely making friends.
The “friend” she referred to was most likely someone from the Primitive Adventure Team.
“Haha, hahaha.”
Lin Da spun around with Wendy in his arms, ecstatic.
If Wendy was at least half as powerful as she was in the game, there was no way they wouldn’t succeed in defeating the witch Xilin!
But in the next moment, Lin Da’s heart sank.
The “stench” of a witch emanating from Wendy was nauseating.
For someone like Lin Da, a Healing Hero, touching Wendy felt like tossing a chunk of fat straight into a sizzling oil pan—a violent reaction ensued.
His skin where it made contact with Wendy turned red and itchy.
Lin Da had never encountered a witch so severely afflicted.
Muttering an apology to himself, he tugged open Wendy’s collar to check.
Sure enough, black thorn-like patterns spread from her heart, covering nearly half of her petite body.
If it fully covered her…
Even Witch Purification wouldn’t be able to save her!
The situation was dire, and Lin Da decided on the spot to begin purification.
With a sweeping motion, he cleared the trash off the bed with a slap.
He sat Wendy on the edge of the bed.
“I came under Bailuo’s request to help purify the Witch’s Corruption! Hey, wake up!”
Lin Da rapped Wendy lightly on the head.
“Ouch.”
Wendy woke up with a grimace, squinting at Lin Da in groggy confusion, then nodded: “Oh.”
“…”
Anyone unaware would think this curly-haired green girl was an idiot. Her reactions were too sluggish, her demeanor too silly!
In reality, that wasn’t the case.
In the game, Wendy was a super genius. From her days at the adventurer primary school, she had consistently ranked first in theory courses.
But her obsession with crafting magic potions consumed 99% of her mental capacity. She was always thinking about how to concoct more effective potions.
As a result, the remaining 1% of her brainpower often seemed insufficient for ordinary tasks.
Knowing this, Lin Da naturally didn’t think of the girl as a fool.
He produced Bailuo’s letter, along with the Primitive Adventure Team emblem, and handed them to Wendy, speaking seriously:
“I need your complete trust because what I’m about to do might not make much sense to you.”
“Oh.”
Wendy skimmed the letter and smiled lazily: “Wendy… trusts you…”
And then she fell asleep again.
Lin Da shook his head helplessly, retrieving a chicken leg from his space ring and stuffing it into Wendy’s mouth: “Stop sleeping. You must be starving. Eat, and listen while I talk.”
The food worked like a charm. Catching the scent of chicken, Wendy’s eyes shot open. She grabbed the leg and began devouring it.
“That’s better. Now, Wendy, listen. As Bailuo stated in her letter, I have the power to purify the Witch’s Corruption afflicting you.”
“So cool.”
Wendy paused mid-chomp, gazing at him with admiration.
She pulled her collar aside to reveal the thorny black patterns. “It hurts.”
It was only the Ice Tower’s low temperatures suppressing the corruption; outside, Wendy would’ve already gone mad, transforming into a Catastrophe Beast. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Although Lin Da was eager to start the purification immediately, he couldn’t miss this opportunity to enlist Wendy’s help.
“While I can indeed cleanse the corruption on you, the price is… you need to help me with something.”
“Oh.” Wendy asked, “What do you need me to do?”
“Don’t worry, it’s something you’re good at.”
Lin Da patted Wendy on the head. “Can you help Uncle make magic potions? Uncle will provide the materials, food, and treat your corruption. Until you’re fully healed, stay here and help Uncle work, okay?”
“Sure, Wendy loves magic potions the most.”
“Great! Now, tell Uncle, which potions can you craft?”
Lin Da grinned.
If Wendy, like in the game, could craft [Blood Melting Potion], it would be a game-changer.
Countless adventurers on the continent were plagued by Dark Corruption—even Heaven Rank warriors had fallen victim.
With access to [Blood Melting Potion], Lin Da could amass countless favors from Heaven Rank adventurers.
The once-disillusioned Oru could also regain his fighting spirit.
Healing his teammate while having her work for him? This was a win-win strategy.
Lin Da looked eagerly at the girl.
“Let me show you some of the best ones.”
Wendy sketched a golden rectangle in the air.
Swish.
The rectangle transformed into a glowing screen, displayed in front of Lin Da.
When Wendy activated her magic, her aura was even deeper and more profound than his!
Lin Da’s eyelids twitched furiously.
Wendy was only 18.
An 18-year-old Sacred Rank, and a rare Magic Pharmacist at that. Out in the world, every major faction would scramble to recruit her.
Wendy’s combat power might be nearly zero, but her support capabilities were unparalleled. As a “Limit Five Stars,” her value was undeniable.
Lin Da turned his attention to the magic-generated screen.
It listed the magical potions Wendy could currently craft.
Blood Melting Potion, Difficulty 7 stars, materials needed: Holy Fruit, Frozen Spring Water, etc…
Holy Spirit Secret Medicine, Difficulty 9 stars, materials needed: Golden World Tree Fruit, etc…
Heavenly Spirit Secret Medicine, Difficulty 10 stars, materials needed: Platinum World Tree Fruit…
All-Stat Enhancement Potion, Difficulty 10 stars, materials: ??? (Not disclosed).
Hiss…
The screen displayed row after row of potions that could cause an uproar in the outside world.
Lin Da sucked in a sharp breath.
Just like in the game, Wendy’s abilities hadn’t been nerfed one bit!
