Chapter 452: Chapter 226: New City Mission, Old Friend Goblin (Part 2)
Although he felt this would disrupt the harmony, he couldn’t just call it out. Otherwise, all the conflict would be focused on him.
Lin Mo had no desire to draw fire upon himself and experience the chaos that would ensue.
After all, when it came down to it, this was all his fault.
’It’s better not to say anything rash. The current "alliances" forming between them can create a delicate balance.’
’The wisdom of countless predecessors told him that playing dumb was the correct move.’
One outfit was naturally not enough. Afterward, they tried on many more clothes, some normal and others quite daring. Of course, since this large clothing store was equipped with special, private changing areas, no outsiders could see. Plus, they all wore overcoats outside, hiding everything from even the shop assistant at the door.
Only Lin Mo was able to feast his eyes, but it was also a form of torture. The more he looked, the hotter he felt.
Once the arduous shopping trip was finally over, the group went to a high-end restaurant in Fajade City called the Fajade Hotel.
The restaurant was named directly after the city and was said to have been personally opened by the city’s Lord. It was undoubtedly one of the most upscale restaurants in the city.
Lin Mo ordered a pile of high-quality dishes and some local specialties. The meal cost them twenty to thirty Gold Coins.
Of course, the money wasn’t wasted. After all, those high-quality dishes were made from high-Level Magic Beast Meat, and eating them provided tangible benefits.
Adding the twenty to thirty Gold Coins spent on clothes earlier, their spending for the day was quite high.
However, Lin Mo wasn’t the one who paid for the clothes.
He had wanted to pay, but everyone disagreed, so he could only let them each pay for their own.
Besides, Ali and Feney were quite wealthy themselves. As for Lena... after selling the crops she had cultivated back in Silver Stream City, the Little Cat Girl’s finances were no longer so tight.
After finishing their meal and returning to the inn, it was still only the afternoon. Lin Mo sparred with Shefilya for a while. The Qingfeng Inn had a large courtyard out back for Adventurers who needed a place to practice.
After practice, although he had used the Clear Stream Technique to clean his body, Lin Mo still habitually returned to his room to take a shower.
And Shefilya, who had been practicing with him, naturally followed him into the bathroom, just in time to help Lin Mo cool down...
After emerging from the bathroom, the restless heat that had built up during the afternoon’s clothes shopping was completely vented.
His Agility Attribute even increased by a point. It seemed the evolved [Shared Cultivation] Skill was indeed quite effective.
The rest of the day was spent in leisure. Of course, Lin Mo didn’t forget to take out the task list he had brought back from the Lion Adventurer Group and check the missions recommended by the Adventurer Group’s analysts.
All he could say was that professionals were truly professionals. The descriptions on the task list were incredibly detailed yet clear, listing suitable tasks of various difficulties in a well-organized manner.
Since he had just arrived in Fajade City, Lin Mo planned to do a few simple tasks to warm up, so he picked a few from among the D Level Tasks.
Come to think of it, it had been a while since he had done any proper tasks. The successive wars in Silver Stream City and Lania City had raised his power considerably, so at first, when Lin Mo looked at the task list, he found the content a little jarring.
In his memory, D Level Tasks had at least a little bit of difficulty. But from his current perspective, these D Level Tasks couldn’t be any simpler.
If he weren’t a newcomer here, he should, by all rights, be taking on at least C Level tasks...
’Oh well, I’ll just pick a couple to do.’
After studying it for a bit, Lin Mo put down the task list and had dinner with the others.
Normally, one should rest well the night before a mission, but D Level Tasks were far too easy. So, it wouldn’t hurt to put in a little "overtime" at night to practice his Skills.
Shefilya had already gotten her fill in the afternoon, so the night naturally belonged to Ali.
The Little Wolf Girl was as ambitious as ever, desperate to increase her strength and incredibly diligent.
In short, he spent the better part of a wonderful night.
----------
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the group arrived at the Fajade City Adventurer’s Association.
In a large city like Fajade City, the Adventurer’s Association had more than one branch; there was one in the east and one in the west. However, they were essentially the same organization with a single branch president, merely split into two locations for the convenience of Adventurers.
Compared to Silver Stream City, the Fajade City branch of the Adventurer’s Association was clearly much larger in scale.
Even split into two branches, the footprint of each was still astonishingly large.
The main gate of the Adventurer’s Association alone was several meters wide, and the space inside was even more enormous, giving it the feel of a train station or an airport.
Yet, despite the massive space, the density of Adventurers inside was still high.
This was normal. Fajade City was practically the most suitable city for Adventurers in the Doria Kingdom. In comparison, even the Royal Capital paled slightly.
While the Adventurers in the Royal Capital were slightly stronger on average and included a small group of top-tier experts, their numbers were far lower than in Fajade City.
