Just as Lin Mo had said, when they got up, finished washing up, changed clothes and came to the dining room, Finnie had already been waiting for them for a while.

Sherfilia still stood slightly behind Finnie, hands folded in front of her, expression cold, like a fixed NPC refresh.

The morning meal at the City Lord's Mansion was relatively simple, consisting of ordinary things one could usually see, though more refined than what was made outside.

After a simple breakfast, Lin Mo hurriedly went out.

The first thing to do today was to contact his upcoming teammates.

After parting with Alden and the others, Lin Mo had been thinking about this problem.

Three-person adventures had many inconveniences, whether during travel, combat, or even rest times - being few in number created many additional troubles.

But Lin Mo now had his own team after all, and couldn't just join other teams like before.

Finding teammates was also quite troublesome;

assessing new members' strength and character was a major project, making it hard to guarantee new members' quality.

The best method in this situation was to cooperate with other teams and complete tasks together.

Although this meant task rewards would need to be split, it also meant they could take on more tasks, and even attempt higher difficulty missions.

Lin Mo now only needed one D-rank and two E-rank tasks to upgrade to Bronze-rank adventurer.

He planned to complete all three tasks during this outing.

As for cooperation partners, he had naturally already thought of them.

That's right, it was precisely the Azure Orchid Team who had previously gone with him to participate in the Silvermoon Town rescue operation.

He had already discussed this matter with Landon, captain of the Azure Orchid Team, during their post-battle chat, and they had roughly formulated a cooperation plan at that time, only needing final approval.

And now, Lin Mo was going to meet the members of the Azure Orchid Team, discuss specific matters, and purchase some basic supplies needed for the outing along the way.

He didn't bring anyone else on this outing - Ellie remained at the City Lord's Mansion, having asked Sherfilia to spar with her to practice skills,

while Finnie had gone to the church.

Well, Lin Mo needed to go there later too.

Going straight to one of Silverstream City's most famous taverns - the Running Wolf Tavern.

Lin Mo pushed the door open and saw several adventurers sitting in a circle at a very conspicuous position, with Landon sitting in the main seat.

"Brother Lin Mo, over here..."

Landon waved, directly standing up to greet him.

The other adventurers also took the initiative to greet him, and Lin Mo returned the greetings one by one.

During the previous Silvermoon Town defense battle, they had met more than once - if not acquainted, at least familiar faces.

But now, they still needed proper formal introductions.

"I'm Huck, Level 2 Warrior, nice to meet you Brother Lin Mo."

Huck was a relatively cheerful-looking young man, probably no older than 25, with quite good talent.

Lin Mo had a relatively deep impression of him - on the first night arriving at Silvermoon Town, when going to intercept goblins and prevent them from attacking the battle lines, this kid seemed to have tried to get close to Finnie, but naturally ended up being ignored.

"I'm Sheila, Level 2 Ranger."

Sheila was the only female in the Azure Orchid Team, looking around thirty years old, not particularly beautiful, with a personality that seemed relatively straightforward.

"Sid, Level 3 Assassin."

The thin young man nodded to Lin Mo. He had joined the assassin team during the final battle and was one of its members, so compared to others, he had a more intuitive understanding of Lin Mo's strength.

"I'm Benny, Level 2 Knight."

Finally was a relatively honest-looking middle-aged man, who seemed to be the steady type.

Most people with the Knight profession seemed to be like this.

Not due to any professional stereotype, but rather people with this personality were more likely to choose to become knights when embarking on their professional path.

Including Landon, the Azure Orchid Team currently had 5 members total.

"Our side is the Silver Radiance Team, members are me, Finnie, and Ellie, whom you've all met before."

"Finnie is that beautiful priest lady, right?"

Sheila nodded: "Ellie is that half-orc lady?"

"Correct, they are Level 1 Priest and nearly Level 2 Warrior respectively."

Nearly Level 2.

The group exchanged glances. Although they wanted to say that was still Level 1, the other team's previous achievements were right there after all - if he said so, then so be it.

"Finally, me..."

Lin Mo pointed at himself, and the group's curious gazes immediately focused on him.

Although they had seen Lin Mo fight before and he was indeed strong, they completely hadn't expected him to have such exaggerated performance later.

Speaking of which, during the simple self-introduction at Silvermoon Town before, he seemed to have only said he was a professional-level warrior.

How to put it...

It was indeed true, but obviously it wasn't that simple.

Including Landon, several people were very curious about how many professions Lin Mo actually had, and how strong his strength really was.

"Lin Mo, Level 3 Warrior, Level 2 Assassin, and Level 1 Mage."

"Hiss——!"

Although these could be roughly guessed from previous battles, hearing it directly from Lin Mo's own mouth was still quite shocking.

He didn't just have one additional profession, but three!

And one of them was the strongest and most difficult Mage!

Landon was equally shocked, but not surprised.

As the saying went, from his previous battles, one could roughly judge this information.

But... with just such strength, including the performance he witnessed that night, it was indeed very strong, but clearly not enough to achieve such impressive results.

Was he still holding back, or did their team have other members?

Landon remembered clearly - that young woman in maid outfit he suddenly brought back from outside that time.

Even if not an official member, that powerful "maid" must have deep connections with the Silver Radiance Team.

Their ability to achieve such impressive results was mostly thanks to her.

But these matters, just understanding in heart was enough, no need to say them out loud.

Everyone drank some alcohol, chatted freely, and simply formulated their upcoming cooperation.

Speaking simply, the most important was the reward distribution issue, and both sides' thoughts were surprisingly consistent in this aspect, so agreement was reached very smoothly.

Fifty-fifty split.

Superficially speaking, this was somewhat disadvantageous for the Azure Orchid Team which had more members and stronger paper strength.

But considering the other party's likely special status, and that hidden expert almost guaranteeing absolute task safety, plus the other team having a priest... adding these factors, splitting rewards equally seemed very reasonable.

With the most important matter clearly formulated, the rest was nothing more than drinking and boasting, chatting together, discussing what kind of tasks to prepare for.

Of course, specific content still needed to wait until going to the Association tomorrow.

After chatting for a while, Lin Mo bid farewell and left.

He had other things to do next.

First was purchasing basic supplies - this was simple, just going to the commercial street could handle it.

Then he still needed to go to the church...

While thinking, Lin Mo cast 【Cleansing Flow】 on himself.

【Cleansing Flow】 proficiency +1

For such functional spells, one needed to use them more often in daily life.

Of course, if the body was very clean with no dirty places, the skill wouldn't take effect, and thus couldn't improve.

Including intentionally dirtying oneself, then using it multiple times in short periods - except for the first time, proficiency improvement would be greatly reduced.

【Cleansing Flow】 was an Excellent-grade skill, consuming considerable mana and mental burden. Even on rest days, no need to torture oneself - practicing a few times was enough.

Through previous experiments, Lin Mo's 【Cleansing Flow】 proficiency had reached (4/10).

To quickly level up this skill, it probably needed to truly play its role - that is, when reducing "burning" or "erosion" effects.

After standing under the sun for a while, the moisture on his body slowly evaporated.

Lin Mo purchased basic supplies for the next few days at the Adventurer Commercial Street, then headed straight for the church.

The third thing to do today was to learn the church priests' basic skill - "Healing Art".

Normally, although it was a basic skill, one still needed to join the church, becoming a church novice nun or novice clergy to learn it.

But Lin Mo's situation was somewhat different.

Not because of Finnie's relationship, but because that Crimson Flame Tiger he killed during a previous task helped the church timely discover the existence of undead creatures deep in Roland Forest - this was no small merit.

Exchanging this for permission to use a "Healing Art" scroll shouldn't be excessive.

Arriving at the church, continuous streams of people came and went, including religious ordinary people, and adventurers coming for treatment of injuries.

As a super organization spread throughout the entire continent like the Association, the church even had higher fame and cohesion than the Adventurers' Association.

Therefore, places where churches were located were almost always among the areas with highest foot traffic in every town.

Following the crowded flow of people, Lin Mo finally managed to enter the church.

Then he saw Finnie wearing nun attire, currently helping with treatment.

Because she was beautiful, kind-hearted, and strong with good treatment effects, Finnie's side naturally had long queues as expected.

Speaking of which, priests helping with treatment could also earn money - the church only took 10% of the income, one could say quite reasonable.

But this bit of money, for Finnie, was probably just pocket money for buying snacks.

"Mr. Lin Mo?"

After treating one adventurer, Finnie looked up and saw Lin Mo, immediately waving: "I've already spoken with Grandpa Fletcher, you can directly go inside the church to find him."
