Carlos Bartel was astute.
He knew that inviting Abby alone would be futile, so he decided to make it a group affair.
Sure enough, Abby's eyes lit up at the idea of a group activity.
She eagerly turned to Howard, "Howard, should we join them? With their help, we can level up much faster!"
Unaware of Howard's capabilities, Abby naturally thought working in a group would be safer and more efficient in terms of leveling up.
Hearing this, Howard hesitated.
He preferred to explore the Silent Forest on his own, but he didn't want to deny Abby.
He realized that if he adamantly refused, Abby would definitely accompany him, depriving her of her own social circle.
Howard couldn't always be by Abby's side.
After a moment's consideration, Howard nodded, "Alright, when are you all planning to depart?"
