Finding teammates is an essential part of an adventurer's journey.

Everyone wants to find a pro to carry them, but the reality is that adventurers vary greatly in quality. If you find a normal teammate, that's fine, and you can just have a normal adventure.

But if you accidentally drive the hidden model like Satō Kazuma, then there will be some trouble.

You wouldn't want your teammates to be so weak after firing a big bomb all day that they're just lying on the road waiting to be picked up, would you?

Well, if she's a frail, beautiful girl, that's a different story.

Although we need to find teammates, who should we look for?

Da Er immediately thought of the Strategy Team, who were the most elite adventurers in Bede City.

However, through the last battle, he realized that his fighting style was not very compatible with the Strategy Team, and the cooperation was a bit awkward. Perhaps it was Te Er and the others had already become like Leon and could not accept swordsmen with different styles from Leon.

In other words, joining teams with fixed compositions is not suitable for you.

Therefore, we need to start with the lone wolves. Among the Silver Rank individuals he knows, who else is a lone wolf?

He suddenly remembered someone who wasn't an adventurer— the Magician Luo Jieer.

Although the man's frivolous personality made it difficult for Da Er to handle, he admired Luo Jieer's "invisible flash stab" fighting style. Fighting should be like that, with surprise attacks and fatal blows!

As a child, Da Er fantasized about becoming an assassin walking under the moonlight, eliminating his targets swiftly and decisively without anyone witnessing it.

However, he has now become a swordsman who dives into a horde of monsters and unleashes his power. After he finishes his rampage, all the monsters are dead, so in a way, there can be no eyewitnesses.

Fulfilling dreams in an alternative way.

If we could get Luo Jieer's help, exploring Farron Keep would be much easier.

Whenever he thought of Farron Keep, Da Er couldn't help but recall the scene of his escape from the Old Wolf of Farron.

The reason he's working so hard to win over Sion is so that he can see Old Wolf again.

He couldn't understand why he was so fixated on seeing the old wolf again, even though he knew he wouldn't have the courage to accept Wolf's Blood even if they met again.

Perhaps it was some unseen feeling guiding him, but Da Er subconsciously felt that he would regret it if he didn't see the old wolf again.

He shook his head, putting those thoughts aside for the moment. He glanced at the sun hanging in the sky, the bright sunlight washing over him and dispelling the eerie terror he had picked up in the underground city.

Let's take a day off.

After being sent back to the campfire by the Soul Eater, Da Er left the dungeon on his own. If he died again, he would have no souls left to use, and the faint pain deep in his head made him afraid to take any more risks.

Thanks to Earl Ka Rong's generous sponsorship of the Teleportation Crystal, and because Da Er had been taking his time these past few days and hadn't visited the Resurrection Room much, he had some money to spare.

"Let's buy some good food to treat everyone."

Even Da Er couldn't help but smile as he weighed the heavy money bag in his hand.

"Boss, can I pick up the meat I ordered last week earlier?" He greeted the owner as he arrived at the familiar shop.

"Of course, I've been here for a while," said the burly boss. "Wait here, I'll help you set up the cart."

Da Er nodded and casually found a chair to sit down.

This isn't a butcher shop, or a tavern, but a monster workshop!

Adventurers will bring the monsters they hunt to the Monster Workshop for dismantling, or, if they want to save time, they can sell them directly to the workshop and only take the materials they need.

Da Er had been friends with this monster workshop for several years. He asked the owner to buy some low-level monster meat for him every week, preferably pig or cow monsters.

Monster meat is edible for humans, but it doesn't taste very good, and it doesn't have any magical effects such as increasing strength, so monster meat is relatively cheaper in recycling.

Unfortunately, Da Er's wolf pack prefers to eat monster meat, and since they can only hunt ordinary wild animals in the forest, he buys a lot of meat every week to improve the wolf pack's diet.

"You're here again, young man Da Er," a middle-aged dismantler approached familiarly and struck up a conversation. "Do adventurers earn a lot? I see you come here every week."

Da Er shook his head. "It's barely passable."

"Haha, I can hear the weariness in your voice," the disassembler laughed twice, patted Da Er on the shoulder and said, "Adults should have their own ways of relieving stress. How about I treat you, my old customer?"

Da Er frowned as he thought of something and said, "I don't go to brothels."

Just then, the disassembler handed Da Er to him a glass filled with ice-cold beer.

"What? Who said I was going to invite you to a brothel? What are you thinking about all day, buddy?"

"."

Da Er immediately turned his head away, his face slightly flushed, which amused the decomposer to burst into laughter.

"I don't drink." He finally managed to utter this defiant statement after a long pause.

"Hey, don't say that. I won't laugh. Anyway, it's free for you to have a drink, so have a little."

Da Er stared at the beer; the golden liquid was bubbling and churning, and a layer of water droplets had formed on the surface of the glass. The aroma of wheat juice filled his nostrils, and he could feel the chill just by looking at it.

This must be a really good ice-cold beer.

Da Er's throat bobbed, and he reached for the glass. A few seconds later, he stared blankly at the empty glass.

When I came to my senses, I was already drinking heavily!

"Looks like you've really accumulated a lot of fatigue. How about I buy you another drink?" The decomposer was startled by the way he was drinking.

"No, no, that's not necessary."

Da Er quickly waved his hand, his face slightly flushed. By then, the cart was ready, with a mountain of monster meat laid out on it. After paying, he hurriedly pulled the cart away from the city.

His steps were a little unsteady, and he felt a bit dizzy. His alcohol tolerance was surprisingly low.

A cool autumn breeze swept across his cheeks, and the wildflowers and green grass on the plains nodded in unison. The slightly tipsy feeling was not unpleasant.

It seems nice to relax once in a while.

He hummed a tune he hadn't done in a long time, and a leisurely mood to appreciate the scenery appeared on his lips.

That smile lasted until he returned to the farm.

"Rub--"

The sound of the blade clashing against the scabbard rang out, and Da Er released the cart and drew his longsword, his wide eyes suddenly turning bloodshot.

The farm fence had collapsed, leaving the inside in a mess, and the wolves were nowhere to be seen.

A huge creature was lying on the farm, blood dripping from the corner of its mouth.

That's a dragon!

Da Er's face turned ashen instantly, and his body trembled. The next moment, he charged forward with his sword in hand!

Why are there dragons here? Why are they on the farm? My wolf pack...

"Go to hell!" Da Er roared, his face like a demon.

"Huh?"

The Female Fire Dragon, or rather Hathaway, looked up in bewilderment, and in fright, she spread her wings.

Incidentally, a group of wolf cubs were revealed, hiding under its wings and gnawing on wild boar.

Everyone ate with their mouths full of oil, making satisfied noises.

"Ah!?"

Da Er's mind went blank, and his steps immediately became unsteady. The dignified Silver Rank adventurer actually took a tumble face-first to the ground!

After falling, it slid a distance on the ground, just in front of the wolf cubs.

Upon seeing their companion return, the wolf pups howled excitedly, affectionately rubbing and licking him, leaving blood and bits of flesh on his clothes.

Da Er raised his head blankly and met the gaze of the equally blank-eyed Female Fire Dragon. The two of them just stared at each other with wide eyes.

"Who dares to attack my Hathaway!" A familiar voice rang out, it sounded like Luo Jieer?

However, before Da Er could say anything, a Mage Hand was slapped onto his face.

A moment later

"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, sir,"

In the farmhouse, Luo Jieer chuckled as he treated Da Er, who remained silent with a stern face.

"I told you a long time ago to hurry up and get the fence that your dragon damaged repaired. Now look what happened, you've been misunderstood."

"The still-sexy animal trainer An Ti Li sighed as several male wolves surrounded her, wagging their tails and looking obsequious."

Da Er's face darkened further, because he remembered that those male wolves were known for their aloofness within the pack.

"I sent Hathaway to hunt as compensation," Luo Jieer said, a rare look of embarrassment on his face. "But it seems it's caused an even bigger misunderstanding."

Upon learning that it was a false alarm and the wolf pack was unharmed, Da Er didn't care much about the earlier incident. He just stared straight at An Ti Li, like a wife staring at a mistress.

An Ti Li noticed Da Er's thoughts, patted the male wolves on the head, and they ran off happily.

Da Er's expression softened somewhat, but he still asked in an unfriendly tone, "So what do you want from me?"

There was a misunderstanding earlier, Luo Jieer was too embarrassed to speak up, but An Ti Li spoke up quite frankly:

"We invite you to explore the dungeon together. We'll offer you lots and lots of rewards. Want to come?"

Oh?

Da Er glanced at Luo Jieer, who nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, before he could even go to his teammates, they came to him on their own.

The meeting just now was not pleasant, but it only gave Da Er a little scare. Moreover, he could use this to his advantage in the cooperation.

Originally, I only wanted to find Luo Jieer, but now I've also found An Ti Li, who is also quite strong. This combination is not bad.

Da Er gave his answer instantly.

"Sure, but what is your goal, and which area do you want to go to?"

Luo Jieer and An Ti Li exchanged a glance and smiled simultaneously. The latter said mysteriously:

Would you mind being disliked by monsters?

Faced with this puzzling question, Da Er thought for a moment and said, "Don't monsters inherently hate humans?"

"So you don't mind? That's great!"

An Ti Li clapped her hands and laughed, "Let's rest for today. You can come with us tomorrow. Our goal is simply to fight the monsters."

Da Er's eyebrows furrowed, and he suddenly had the urge to refuse.

The next day, in the Gourmet Area Zane Dungeon.

"Take this,"

An Ti Li handed Da Er to him a stick and pointed to a creature in the grass, saying:

"See that yellow rat? Beat it up!"

"Pikachu?"

The wild Pikachu blinked, puzzled.

It's the beginning of the month, please give me some monthly votes!
