But when his thoughts turned and he wanted to get closer.
This strange feeling disappeared like an illusion.
Looking back, perhaps those ripples were his breakthrough.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The crisp sound of knocking echoed in the quiet room.
"Xia Nan, it’s ti for us to set off."
It was Abi’s voice, filled with the enthusiasm unique to newcors.
"Coming."
Responding, Xia Nan stood up and slung the two longswords leaning by the bed onto his back.
Hunting Day wasn’t over yet, so he naturally hadn’t left the team.
During these ten days, he went on several tasks with Adeline and the others.
All were on the outskirts of the forest, without any unexpected situations.
The gains were just like that.
A few skill levels, so Gold Coins.
Not much, but progressing steadily as planned.
"Bang."
The wooden door was slamd shut.
The room fell silent again.
Without ti to tidy up, that glass of water still sat quietly on the table.
Perhaps the noise from the door being closed was too loud, or maybe it was for so other reason.
The once calm water in the cup, after Xia Nan left.
Suddenly,
ripples appeared.
...
Xia Nan pushed open the door.
Abi was leaning against the wall, sowhat bored.
Seeing him co out, he smiled and said:
"Boss is already waiting for us downstairs, let’s go."
Since the battle with "Huo Ya", this newcor adventurer had changed his previously timid and secretly competitive attitude towards Xia Nan and truly considered him a dependable teammate.
Revealing his original personality, obedient but stubborn, sotis appearing a bit obstinate.
In contrast, Berg, who was very enthusiastic towards him when he first joined the team, spoke much less now.
By now, it’s actually Abi who has beco closer to Xia Nan.
Stepping on the rickety stairs that seed to collapse with a little force, they ca to the tavern’s main hall.
Scanning over, it was still the spot near the door.
Adeline sat by the dining table, chatting casually with Berg across from her.
On the table, a few bowls of steaming at soup were placed.
Holding the dining spoon, her thick arm bent, muscles bulging.
Her body had been cleaned up, no longer as untidy as after the mission, but a faint scent of blood still lingered on her.
Saying hello to the tavern owner Chapton who was wiping glasses behind the counter.
Xia Nan approached and sat directly by the table.
In front of him, a bowl of pre-ordered cream mushroom soup.
Clearly, over the past ten days, his teammates had learned these small preferences of his.
Nodding as a sign, he quickly stirred it a bit, and took a few large spoonfuls into his mouth.
Beside him, Berg joked about Abi’s newly bought leather armor, saying it was overpriced by a few Gold Coins.
Abi kept his neck stiff, insisting that it was a boutique from the shop and that it was normal for it to be a bit pricey.
But his face involuntarily showed a pained and regretful expression.
"What’s the plan next?"
A hoarse and short voice ca from beside him.
Adeline crossed her arms over her chest, her short hair closely cropped against her scalp gleaming clearly in the sunlight from outside the door, her gaze fixed on Xia Nan.
"Starting a small team?"
Hunting Day wouldn’t last long, and when it ended, the strong young man before her, possessing a strength that belied his youthful appearance, would leave the team as well.
His strength was already close to a professional, probably just one Battle Skill away from gaining a Professional Level.
It made sense to continue developing upwards.
She didn’t expect that after the event ended, he would stay in the team and help her clear those goblins that seed endless.
"For now... no." Xia Nan shook his head as he chewed on the tender, crispy mushrooms.
He possessed an attribute panel, which on the surface seed useless, only able to identify the information of so equipnt and Battle Skills for him.
But in reality, the attribute panel’s existence had greatly increased his pace of getting stronger.
Even if he ford a small team now, with his strength, any joiners would likely be low-level adventurers without a Professional Level.
They would soon be left behind by him.
If their battle strength didn’t match, whether taking tasks or daily actions, much would need consideration, making it very troubleso.
Quickly finishing the food on the plate, Xia Nan wiped his mouth, planning to call his teammates to set off.
However, from the adjacent table of adventurers, a series of whispers suddenly surfaced.
He could clearly feel several gazes sweeping across his black short hair, youthful face, and the Beheading Longsword on his back.
They seed to recognize his identity.
Xia Nan’s expression was subtle; he just pretended not to see.
Since he killed "Huo Ya" and returned to River Valley Town, such instances occurred frequently.
Initially, it felt a bit uncomfortable, but he gradually got used to it.
Additionally, it’s sowhat embarrassing to ntion.
But like "Green Blood" Adeline, "Huo Ya" Bennett.
Replacing his na,
he seed to have also gained a sowhat circulating Nickna among the low-level adventurers near White Sparrow:
——"Gray Sword".
