“Are you sure you want to call it that?”
The poised young woman behind the counter pressed a hand lightly to her lips, her shoulders trembling almost imperceptibly—clearly struggling not to laugh.
“Yes, we’re the Slime Adventure Team!” Liyana answered with great spirit, her voice clear and confident, as though announcing a name destined to shake the continent.
Mo Lini nodded too, and Little Lan on her head wiggled in agreement, letting out a soft “bloop.”
Xia Lun and Aina had no objections.
After all, this was just for fun—a makeshift adventuring party they had thrown together on a whim. They had no real plans to go on adventures.
Actually, such small adventuring teams were pretty common. Plenty of people romanticized the adventurer profession, but few ever stuck with it.
Kind of like how many folks register accounts on writing websites but never actually post anything.
Sure, the team’s name… sounded like something that would get kicked aside like a nobody. But as long as Liyana and Mo Lini liked it, that was all that mattered.
“Alright, then who’s your team captain…?”
“Let’s make it Little Lan.” Liyana picked Little Lan off Mo Lini’s head and set it on the counter. Little Lan spread itself into a flat puddle on the surface, looking somewhat bewildered.
“Um… sorry, miss elf, but a slime cannot serve as an adventuring team captain…” The counter lady’s smile stiffened, and she looked rather troubled.
“Why not? Beastfolk and dwarves can be team captains, so why not slimes?” Liyana shot back. “That’s discrimination!”
“I’m sorry, but the captain must be a humanoid…” The lady at the counter twitched her lips, then took a deep breath, trying to stay patient.
“Little Lan is very smart—no worse than an average person…” Liyana refused to give up, even poking Little Lan’s soft, bouncy body with her finger. “It even knows swordsmanship!”
Little Lan extended one tiny tentacle and made a thrusting motion, though it looked more like it was showing off how adorable it was.
The lady at the counter pressed a hand to her temple. “Guard, we have someone causing a disturbance here…”
“Ah! Sorry, I was just joking… I mean, when I see such a lovely young lady as yourself, I just can’t help but want to tease you a little…” Liyana’s tone turned flirtatious as she leaned forward, both hands on the counter, reaching out to lift the woman’s chin.
“Guard! We have a case of sexual harassment here!”
“Ah! No! I’m sorry! Mo Lini! Our captain is Mo Lini!” Liyana instantly backed down, hands clasped together, putting on a pleading smile, before shoving Mo Lini in front of herself.
Mo Lini blinked her big eyes.
The lady glanced at Mo Lini, her brow furrowing again. “Sorry, but this one won’t work either.”
“Huh? Mo Lini, are you not a person?” Liyana stared in disbelief, eyes wide.
“You’re the one who’s not a person.” Mo Lini puffed out her cheeks in indignation, like an annoyed little squirrel.
Liyana was an elf.
Liyana turned back to the young woman behind the counter and pressed on: “What do you mean by that?”
“A child this young can’t be a captain of an adventuring team. What were you thinking? We have a basic responsibility toward adventuring parties.” The other woman let out a helpless sigh. “This little lady looks like she hasn’t even reached adulthood.”
“Miss, judging by appearance is wrong! Even if Mo Lini looks small, she’s actually already an adult!” Liyana argued indignantly, then turned to Mo Lini. “Mo Lini, you say something too! She’s being so disrespectful to you.”
Liyana knew that Mo Lini usually got pretty angry when she said things like that about her size.
“Little lady… you mean me?” Mo Lini’s cheeks turned slightly pink. “Really? So I do look like a lady after all…”
Liyana: …
This girl’s priorities were seriously weird.
“Hey, are you two done yet?” Just then, a few young men queuing behind Liyana’s group started to urge them on.
“You’re taking way too long.”
“Today is the big day for the founding of our ‘Sky-Soaring Adventure Corps’! Could you please hurry up… Our ‘Sky-Soaring Adventure Corps’ is definitely going to shake the continent!”
Liyana turned around. They were a bunch of fresh-faced youths, seeming barely past adulthood, decked out in flashy outfits and brand-new starter gear that looked like it had just come straight from a shop window. Yet every single one of them had a look of untamed arrogance in their eyes.
“Sorry, we’ll be done in a jiffy.” Liyana smiled at them.
“Oh… oh wow… sure.” Facing such a beautiful elf big sister, the youths exchanged glances and suddenly turned shy, unable to form words.
Youth is a wonderful thing. Liyana thought to herself.
Still, she had no interest in these little brats.
Back at the counter, after confirming that Mo Lini was indeed an adult, the clerk didn’t cause any more trouble.
Soon, a bronze-colored team badge with delicate patterns etched along the edges was handed over. Etched clearly into it were the words “Slime Adventure Team,” with a small team ID number below.
Quickly glancing at the number, Liyana clicked her tongue in surprise. She had no idea that so many adventuring teams already existed.
Liyana took the badge symbolizing their team and left.
“Xia Lun!” Liyana held the badge out to him.
Xia Lun took it, his fingertips tracing over the cold surface, as if remembering something… After fiddling with it for a moment, he handed it back to Mo Lini.
“Why give it to me? Mo Lini is the captain.” Xia Lun said seriously.
This adventure team only had Mo Lini as a member for now—though it had been established, it hadn’t started recruiting. Xia Lun and the others’ names weren’t on the list.
That was because the contributions Xia Lun and his companions had made were far too great… Even after all this time, their adventurer records were still kept in the archives, preserving their glorious past for later generations to admire.
In fact, Liyana had remained active even across the thousand years in between, as an independent adventurer.
Though Xia Lun could easily create a new identity, he had no intention of doing so.
For him, this was a memory worth treasuring.
Xia Lun and the others were about to leave.
No sooner had they taken a few steps than the exaggerated wails and arguments of those youths rang out behind them again.
“What?! Someone’s already registered ‘Sky-Soaring Adventure Corps’? How is that possible?!”
“No—! Our dream!”
“Then… then what about ‘Pride-Soaring Adventure Corps’? That should work, right?”
“What?! That’s taken too?! Who! Who got there before us!”
…
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What?
