Make me leave the team? My beast girl and I can win easily.

One hour ago.

Wujiang Supernatural Ability Vocational Technical College, Level 20 dungeon entrance.

After finishing their hot pot meal, Lin Yu brought Lin Xue and Lin Ya over to upgrade their level.

When he was running this dungeon in the afternoon, he felt:

The efficiency of gaining experience is too high; leveling up is like riding a rocket.

It's addictive.

Previously, in the Dawn Squad, the experience was split equally among the five people.

After running a few dungeons, the experience bar looks like it's frozen.

Now all the experience belongs to him alone.

The upgrade speed has become 5 times faster than before!

Furthermore, the experience gained by pets is calculated separately, with the total amount being the same as that of the team members.

Therefore, Lin Xue and Lin Ya leveled up at an astonishing speed.

"At this rate, reaching level 25 by the end of the month is no problem at all," Lin Yu thought to himself.

He touched the all-purpose pouch at his waist, inside which lay five pieces of Abyss Soul Crimson Gold.

Now that we have the materials, as for the production cost...

After the four multi-purpose waist bags were sold, the funding issue was resolved.

Then we'll be able to use epic-quality accessories.

Back when he was in the Dawn Squad, he had never even worn a piece of equipment of perfect quality.

Lin Yu recalled the past and felt a surge of emotion.

Even the high-quality equipment that once belonged to him was sold later to raise money for Xia Yue to upgrade her equipment.

Looking back now, it was truly tragic.

Thanks to these "good" teammates, I was forced to escape my misery and live the happy life I have now.

Lin Yu looked at Lin Xue and Lin Ya, who had already run ahead.

Lin Xue was pulling a group of skeletons forward.

Lin Ya followed behind, her dark eyes fixed on the group of skeletons, her gaze filled with excitement.

She raised her hand, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

boom!

The shell whistled out and struck a skeleton warrior in the chest.

-8193! (Critical Hit)

-30106! (Shockwave Critical Strike)

-30212! (Shockwave Critical Strike)

-30125! (Shockwave Critical Strike)

……

With just one basic attack, a series of golden damage numbers appeared.

That huge group of skeletons simply disintegrated into a pile of broken bones.

"A normal attack deals over 8000 critical hits, and the shock damage is over 29,000..." Lin Yu said softly, "This damage is Xia Yue's entire life."

Lin Xue and Lin Ya's teamwork is now highly standardized.

Even if he leaves the game running AFK the whole time, it won't affect his leveling up or making money.

Right now, Lin Xue and Lin Ya are almost at the "Skull King".

Lin Yu was still taking a leisurely stroll in the third area.

[System notification: Skeleton King is dead]

[Dungeon Completion Rating: SSS]

[Clearance Time: 4 minutes 13 seconds]

Hey, my experience has increased by 1.3%.

Lin Yu looked at the experience bar, and the increase was clearly visible.

Time passed with each successful completion of a dungeon.

"Master, I'm thirsty." Lin Ya tugged at Lin Yu's sleeve, looking at him expectantly. "I want a drink..."

Lin Yu checked the time and realized that another hour had passed since she last used the app.

"Let's go to the management office," he said. "There are vending machines there."

"Yay!" Lin Ya immediately perked up.

Lin Yu walked to the vending machine and inserted coins.

"What would you two like to drink?"

"Mineral water," Lin Xue said.

"I want a Coke!" Lin Ya pointed to the picture on the screen with bubbles.

Lin Yu chose mineral water and two bottles of cola.

The machine clicked, and the drink spilled out.

He had just bent down to pick it up when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him—

"Hello, Brother Lin Yu~"

The voice was soft and weak, with a deliberately sweet tone.

It was the green tea voice that Lin Yu had heard countless times.

However, upon suddenly hearing her own name, Lin Yu instinctively turned around.

He saw someone he never wanted to see again—Xia Yue.

She stood three meters away, wearing a familiar black dress.

It was a gift she bought for herself last year for her birthday, trying to save face and pretending to be rich.

To appease her feelings, Lin Yu offered a few insincere compliments.

In reality, that dress is just an entry-level item among luxury brands, and those in the know call it an "IQ tax."

But what is she doing here all by herself?

He was still wearing this outfit that he wouldn't normally wear...

Could it be that they're here to hook up with rich guys?

Whatever, it's none of my business.

He unscrewed his bottle of Coke, took a sip, and then said to Lin Xue and Lin Ya, "Let's go, let's continue grinding."

Unexpectedly, Xia Yue actually came forward after being ignored.

She clenched her hands, her eyes welling up with tears, looking utterly pitiful.

"Brother Lin Yu, it was all my fault before..." She bowed, her voice choked with emotion, "When Liu Hui and the others forced you to leave the team, I couldn't stop them..."

Looking back now, I realize how weak and cowardly I was, and how I let down all the care and concern you've shown me over the past year...

"Brother Lin Yu, it was I who hurt you..."

As she spoke, she actually managed to squeeze out a few tears.

"Hey, where did everyone go?"

When she looked up, she realized that Lin Yu hadn't listened to what she was saying at all and had already walked past her with Lin Xue and Lin Ya.

Xia Yue was stunned.

She spent two hours doing her makeup and getting ready, specially wearing this dress, and practiced her apology lines and expressions countless times...

Lin Yu didn't even glance at her?

"Brother Lin Yu!" She hurriedly chased after him and blocked his way.

Lin Yu, Lin Xue, and Lin Ya all frowned at the same time.

"Master, should we break her arms and legs and leave her to the side?" Lin Xue suggested.

"Master, I agree," Lin Ya seconded.

"No, you can't make the first move!" Lin Yu quickly stopped them. "Let me tell you, this society is dangerous. There are some people who specialize in staging accidents to extort money..."

"The moment you touch her, she collapses to the ground, and you won't be able to get up without spending a million or two!"

"If we lose all your food expenses, we won't be able to have barbecue or hot pot anymore."

Lin Ya's eyes widened instantly: "So...so scary!"

She immediately hid behind Lin Yu, only peeking out half her head, and looked at Xia Yue warily: "Don't come any closer!"

In her eyes, Xia Yue ahead had become a hideous demon—

A demon who wants to take away her barbecue and hot pot!

Xia Yue was completely oblivious to Lin Ya's reaction.

Her entire attention was focused on the two words she had just heard.

Master...Master?

Those two women actually called Lin Yu "master"?

Lin Yu... is she playing such fancy tricks?

Does that mean that if I want to join his team, I have to treat him as my master?

This...this is so embarrassing.

But then again, just thinking about that scene made her heart race inexplicably, and a strange excitement welled up inside her.

That feeling of being dominated and ordered around...

This seems a bit exciting?

"When we encounter someone like this, we put our hands behind our backs and walk around her..." Lin Yu demonstrated as she led Lin Xue and Lin Ya around Xia Yue.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yue took two steps back and blocked their way again.

"Brother Lin Yu, I'll do anything if you're willing to forgive me!" Xia Yue's tears welled up again. "Even if it means...serving...serving you as my master..."

She was ultimately too shy to say the words "acknowledge you as my master," so she used the slightly more euphemistic "serve you as my master."

Lin Yu stopped and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

He casually agreed, wanting to see what other tricks Xia Yue could pull.

Upon hearing the word "oh," Xia Yue was first taken aback, and then a look of struggle appeared on her face.

She bit her lip, her eyes flickering, as if she were making a difficult decision.

A few seconds later, she seemed to have made up her mind, and resolutely said, "I...I'm willing too!"

Lin Yu: ? ? ?

No, what would you be willing to do?

He recalled what he had just said to her, and it seemed to have been just one word…

Wait, this word...

Lin Yu suddenly understood.

What the hell is going on in her head?

Can you go back to your previous arrogant and aloof demeanor?

"Speak, what exactly do you want to do?" Lin Yu twisted open the cap of the cola bottle in her hand, took another sip, and spoke in a cold tone.

Xia Yue understood that the crucial moment had arrived.

She took a deep breath, feigning tears, and said, "Brother Lin Yu, in the days since you left, whenever I think back to the past, whenever I think of you..."

"Get to the point," Lin Yu interrupted the spellcasting.

Xia Yue's crying stopped abruptly.

She almost lost her composure.

Fortunately, she quickly recovered, but her facial expression was already somewhat stiff.

"Okay...okay." She wiped away her tears, trying to appear more sincere.

"I hope Brother Lin Yu can forgive me and allow me to continue following you..."

"I hope to join your team and work with you to continue striving towards our goal of competing in the national tournament!"

After saying this, a fierce flame ignited in Xia Yue's eyes!

She wants to join Lin Yu's team, break records together, and shine in the national competition!

In that time, everyone will remember her name!

"Are you done talking?" Lin Yu replied coldly.

"Huh?" Xia Yue hadn't quite recovered from her own grand ambitions. "I...I'm done talking."

"Then you can go." Lin Yu led Lin Xue and Lin Ya towards the dungeon entrance. "Don't come back again. Our team doesn't need you."

Lin Xue and Lin Ya, with their hands behind their backs, carefully walked around Xia Yue.

boom!

Lin Yu's answer exploded in Xia Yue's mind like a thunderclap.

He actually said... he doesn't need me!

Xia Yue stood there, her face turning from red to white, and then from white to green.

She felt a burning sensation on her cheeks, as if she had been slapped hard across the face.

"Brother Lin Yu!"

She shouted almost hysterically at Lin Yu's retreating figure.

"I've apologized to you so sincerely!"

"I'm even...I'm even willing to serve you as my master!"

"What do I have to do for you to forgive me?"

Her voice echoed in the hall, and several students who were resting looked over and pointed at her.

Lin Yu stopped and turned around.

His expression was calm.

"Don't worry..." he said calmly, "No matter what you do, I will never forgive you."

After saying that, he took one last look at Xia Yue's hysterical state and felt a pang of sadness.

Back when I was in the Dawn Squad, I always thought Xia Yue was quite pretty.

After all, the other person is at least a 6 or 7 out of 10 in terms of looks.

After putting on makeup and dressing up, one looks pleasing to the eye.

In addition, she speaks gently, has a pleasant voice, and knows how to be charming, which makes her quite likable.

But now, compared to babies Lin Xue and Lin Ya...

How can the light of a firefly compete with the brilliance of the moon?

As time has passed, the filter applied to Xia Yue has shattered completely.

As for himself, he remained handsome, and his strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

My dear old teammate—

Just watch me drive my Land Rover!

Hehehe~

Feeling quite pleased, Lin Yu swiped her card to enter the "Black Cemetery".

In the hall, only Xia Yue remained standing there.

She felt extremely humiliated and angry, and her whole body was trembling.

Tears streamed down, forming a river.

This time, she must have really cried.

The whispers of the students around her pierced her heart like needles.

"Isn't that Xia Yue from the Dawn Squad?"

"Is she begging Lin Yu for forgiveness?"

"Didn't she kick Lin Yu out of the team before?"

"Serves them right, now that they're powerful, they want to lick their boots back..."

"She wore such an expensive dress to apologize, but they completely ignored her. It's hilarious..."

Xia Yue covered her face, turned around and rushed out of the management office lobby.

The night wind brushed against my face, carrying a cool sensation.

She ran very fast, her skirt billowing in the wind, her high heels clicking rapidly on the ground.

She regretted letting Lin Yu leave the team, thus ruining the future of the Dawn Squad.

She hated Lin Yu for not accepting her apology and for not letting her join his team.

But deep down, there is a fear—a fear of the future.

How far can the Dawn Squad, which has already started to have conflicts, go?

Will her future fall into ruin?
