After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

This shout of "captain" dumbfounded Lin Da.

It seemed that the lucky NPC he soul-traveled into was really his game's main character!

But he never showed his face in the game, he was a masked man. All that was revealed were a pair of eyes, and just with that, they recognized him?

And to be mistaken for a lust demon who loved the outdoors...

Lin Da felt the situation was very bad.

"Huh? You know each other?"

Kafni, seeing the Beastmen girl withhold her hand and look at Lin Da with a gaze filled with the resentment of being abandoned, couldn't help but touch her head in confusion.

"No, I don't know her," Lin Da hastily denied.

Given his actions as a player in the game, even being attacked with a firewood knife a hundred times wouldn't be too much if it were in reality.

Not just Lulu, but at least a dozen early characters whom he had maxed out in favor and enhanced stats, and then kicked out of the team, stripping their equipment to sell, when they were no longer needed!

In their hearts, Lin Da was probably seen as not much different from Lia, or perhaps even worse.

"Don't know each other? Hehehe... but it's enough that I know you,"

Lulu's Beastman claw extended one finger, directly pointing at Lin Da's nose tip: "You disappeared for three years, why are you hiding here? And... you've gotten weaker? Using your own words, you're now like a useless small fry, only good for stepping on traps."

The girl's words were filled with cold irony.

Lin Da really wanted to explain that those words were just character lines set in the game, and they didn't have much to do with him. But Lulu seemed convinced that he was that 'captain'.

"You've got the wrong person, I'm just a passing adventurer." Lin Da pretended not to understand, grabbed Kafni beside him, and said, "The clothes out to dry haven't been collected, and it's getting late. We really need to hurry back."

Lulu should have noticed that Kafni had an ace up her sleeve, and probably wouldn't keep pestering? Lin Da tentatively turned his back and, with a face full of confusion, not understanding what was going on, took steps toward the direction of White Dove City with Kafni.

"Wait!"

A stern voice came from behind.

The Beastmen girl behind them leaped into the air, her body spinning in a circle, her fluffy white wolf tail elegantly dancing, and she landed firmly, blocking their way.

Lulu frowned and said, "What do you mean, you're not the captain?"

"I think you have the wrong person," Lin Da said awkwardly.

If he hadn't been recognized, there was still hope that he could rely on Kafni, his secret weapon, to safely extract himself.

If he was recognized, it was a different story.

In the game, he stripped Lulu of her equipment and directly threw it into the great furnace to disintegrate into diamonds for strengthening other characters.

When that action was translated into reality, Lin Da was unsure of what exactly it would become, but surely Lulu would not be happy to recognize him as her captain.

Therefore, he must hide the fact that he was Lulu's captain!

"Aren't you Captain Dai Lian?"

Lulu coldly walked up to him and peered closely at his face with raised foot.

"Dai Lian, who is that?" Lin Da asked, puzzled.

"Dai Lian * Zhao Wo..."

"..."

Lin Da suddenly realized.

No wonder he couldn't find the 'Rookie Adventurer Team' after coming to this world. Just like the ID 'Power leveling * Look for me,' it had all been automatically translated by this world into names that aligned with this world's viewpoint and could be understood by normal people!

Power leveling was translated into Dai Lian. And the two characters for rookie had also been translated into something else, more in line with this world's viewpoint.

"I am not your Captain Dai Lian, you must have the wrong person," said Lin Da.

"You're not the captain of the Primitive Adventure Team?"

"Primitive Adventure Team? What's that, I've never heard of it!"

Lin Da's mouth was muddled, but his heart understood everything. The words "rookie" had been translated into "Primordial," so he couldn't find the existence of the Rookie Adventurer Team at all!

"That's your alias, I know your real name is Lin Da." Lulu stared into his eyes, "You're not Lin Da?"

"Uh, actually my name is 'Li Cha'..."

Lin Da chuckled dryly.

He was a little frazzled, how could his name be known by a game character?

At that moment, he saw Lulu show a thoughtful expression and mutter to herself in a low voice, "That night, you clearly wanted me to call you 'Lin Da,' did I really recognize the wrong person...?"

This statement pried open the locked doors of Lin Da's dusty memories,

He remembered why Lulu knew his name; it was due to a special scenario triggered after maxing out the affection level in the game.

On a small hillside filled with birdsong and the scent of flowers, there was a proposal to use a special nickname to privately address the player who was the team leader.

This would bring up an input box where players could type any text.

What Lin Da had entered was his real name!

"Aren't you called..." Kafni looked confused, about to blurt out Lin Da's name unconsciously.

"Shh!"

Lin Da gave her a meaningful look in time, and Kafni, after a moment's pause, said, "Right, Li, Li Cha? We still have to go home to collect the laundry."

The two of them took the opportunity to attempt an escape while Lulu seemed to be lost in thought.

But they had barely taken a step before being blocked again.

"I can't possibly let you leave." Lulu's hands turned back into beast claws as she said coldly, "Since you're not the team leader, just go to your death."

"What if I am?"

"Then go die as well."

"Isn't that the same thing? Then why did you even ask if I was or not?" Lin Da said, frustrated.

"Of course it's different." Lulu shook her head, "If you're the team leader, you'll die even more horribly."

Well, thank you very much.

Lin Da sighed.

Seeing Lulu approaching menacingly, with murderous intent, Lin Da's mind raced,

If possible, it would be best to preserve Kafni's Divine Power and settle this matter peacefully.

Suddenly, he had an idea and asked, "Are you targeting us because you're worried we'll reveal your secret?"

Lin Da did not know what had happened in Scorching Gorge, but judging from the stench of blood that had wafted over, a gruesome battle must have occurred, and Lulu did not want word to get out, which is why she had set out to kill them.

Lulu didn't answer his question, which was as good as an affirmation.

Knowing the demands of this Beastmen girl, Lin Da now had a solution.

Lin Da extended his right hand, looking intently at the Beastmen girl:

"I won't reveal your whereabouts. If you don't trust me, you can join my squad; this way, you can monitor us at all times. Or, do you want to start a fight with the possibility of both sides suffering? That would benefit neither of us!"

Kafni cooperated by revealing a trace of Divine Power.

It wasn't much in quantity, but the sheer terror of its 'quality' instinctively made Lulu retreat a few steps back.

She crouched down on all fours like a wild beast, her wolf tail tucked under her body, her expression wary as she watched Kafni.

Lin Da said, "We don't want to fight with you either. Joining my squad is the best choice, right?"

If a regular person invited this Beastmen Witch to join their team, it would be a sure road to death; one might end up with their neck bitten off one night.

But Lin Da was different; he possessed a key skill, Witch Purification!

Once a preliminary trust was established and Lulu experienced the sweetness of Purification, becoming addicted to it, she might truly become a member of the squad.
