After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 751 - 518, The Hope of Sacred Rank, The Whereabouts of Younger Sister

The Treasure Vault was utterly silent, Lin Da’s shoes stepping on the mirror-like smooth floor emitted crisp tapping sounds.

As he walked along, he saw several rare magic items that were no less valuable than the Golden Pear.

They were just casually placed on the shelves.

After stepping into the Treasure Vault, Lin Da couldn’t shake off the feeling of being watched, but he couldn’t pinpoint where the watcher was.

If anyone dared harbor thoughts of stealing from the Treasure Vault, they’d likely end up as a cold corpse.

After strolling around for a while, Lin Da arrived at the central counter.

A sweetly smiling elf girl, wearing a blue uniform skirt, slightly bowed: "If you have items you wish to exchange, please tell me their serial numbers."

"Do you have a list? I want to see what you have to offer."

The elf girl tapped a few times on a virtual control panel, and with a "boom," a glowing screen appeared in front of Lin Da.

The screen displayed a list of items, their descriptions, and their prices.

Clicking on an item also showed evaluations written by the Ice Abyss instructors; everything was methodical and meticulous.

It looked somewhat like a menu in a video game.

Lin Da fixed his gaze on the glowing screen.

[Legendary Seven-star Equipment (Armor), Exchange Points: 5000]

[Legendary Seven-star Equipment (Weapon), Exchange Points: 7000]

[Platinum World Tree Fruit, Exchange Points: 10000]

[Life Tear Fragment, Exchange Points: 50000]

A line of zeros was truly intimidating.

Lin Da shook his head, suddenly feeling like he wasn’t as wealthy as he thought.

While going through the exchange list, his eyes landed on a familiar item.

"Life Tear Fragment, worth 50,000 points!"

Lin Da had once owned one and had given it away to Bailuo during a visit.

But he didn’t feel even a hint of regret.

In the game’s 100-affection storyline, "Teacher likes Bailuo the most," it coincided with his genuine thoughts.

That aside...

Treating Dark Corruption required 50,000 points—too expensive.

Lin Da couldn’t help but miss the limited-character [Great Inventor] Mimi and [Sleep Potion] Wendy.

The two of them could use their skills to treat Dark Corruption, making them incredibly valuable.

"Next time I see Bailuo, I’ll ask if she knows anything about their whereabouts."

Skipping over those items, Lin Da clicked on the search bar on the glowing screen.

He took a deep breath and typed the words: "Sea Secret Key!"

Swoosh.

All the text on the screen disappeared.

A rotating hourglass appeared on display.

Seconds passed.

The image changed.

Lin Da brightened with joy—he found it!

[Sea Secret Key, Exchange Points: 1,000,000]

This...

1 million points.

Even though Lin Da was mentally prepared, he still froze.

It was only 298 in the game!

How did it become so expensive in Another World?

Even with his Ten-Star Rating, the monthly fixed points he could earn were only 300.

Every trainee could stay in the Ice Abyss for a maximum of three years.

Three years to earn 1 million points...

Just thinking about it gave Lin Da a headache.

The items next to the Sea Secret Key were also not cheap.

Even though Lin Da had seen plenty of great items in the game, he couldn’t help feeling heart-throbbing excitement.

The screen displayed:

[Ancient Seven-star Equipment (Full Set), Exchange Points: 700,000]

[Giant Buti Tree Comprehension Slot *1, Exchange Points: 750,000]

[Life Tear, Exchange Points: 1,500,000]

[Become the swordsmanship apprentice of Legendary Adventurer ’Cold Moon Fire’ Evelyn, Exchange Points: 2,000,000]

A line of zeros made Lin Da’s head spin.

The items were undeniably good, but also unbearably expensive.

Holding 30,000 points in hand, he thought he was wealthy, but after arriving at the Treasure Vault, he realized he was dirt poor.

No choice—he’d have to browse for cheaper options.

Preferably something that could help him break through to the Light Rank.

So far, Lin Da’s Phoenix Tail Flower Team had managed to strategize their way up to the 29th level of the World Tree. Beyond that was the 30th-level Mystic Realm, accessible only to Sacred Rank adventurers.

Or they could skip the Mystic Realm and ascend to the 31st level.

But the monsters on that level were all a challenging level 59.

The BOSS was at level 60.

Phoenix Tail Flower wasn’t capable of handling that yet.

Early on, climbing the World Tree would grant a level per floor, but not anymore.

Lin Da’s level-59 experience bar displayed 1.5 million out of 30 million—just looking at it made him hesitant to look a second time.

Even with Mystical Points and Diamond enhancements, it had taken Lin Da a year to raise the team’s average level to 58.

To break through the Light Rank as quickly as possible, magic items were indispensable.

Lin Da typed a line of text into the search bar.

A moment later, a small bottle containing luminous milky liquid appeared on the screen.

[Holy Spirit Secret Medicine, Exchange Points: 100,000]

Item Description: A magic potion refined using large quantities of World Tree Fruit combined with rare herbs; offers a significant probability of helping level-59 adventurers reach Sacred Rank.]

It actually exists!

Lin Da raised his brows in delight.

He had 19 Magic Rule Fragments in his possession—if he consumed the Holy Spirit Secret Medicine, advancing to Sacred Rank would be guaranteed.

But... it required 100,000 points to exchange.

Expensive!

"Sigh, if Wendy were here, things would be so much better. She could not only craft the Blood Melting Potion for treating Dark Corruption, but also the ’Holy Spirit Secret Medicine’ and ’Heavenly Spirit Secret Medicine.’"

The former could help Ultimate Light Tier adventurers break through to Sacred Rank with high probability, while the latter allowed Limit Saint Level adventurers to break through to Light Rank.

Both magic potions were highly valuable.

But in the hands of the [Sleepy Pharmacist] Wendy, as long as she had the ingredients, she could produce 100 bottles in one day.

Of course, Wendy’s real-life capabilities were still unknown to Lin Da.

She was probably different from her in-game counterpart.

Gazing at the shimmering words "Holy Spirit Secret Medicine" on the menu, Lin Da reluctantly clicked to turn to the next page.

Looking for something cheaper.

After several rounds of filtering, a few items remained on the glowing screen:

[Ancient One-Star Equipment (Sword), Exchange Points: 30,000]

[Rare Skill: Higher Purification, Exchange Points: 50,000]
