Mushroom Man

"It's still early..."

"Where should we go next..."

After Wu Liang left the one-man show, he experienced the situation of being connected by a single thread.

The woman in the purple dress is currently staying in one place, having not moved for a long time; she has likely returned home.

Bai Xiaosheng is still active near the Luanxing Casino.

If he wasn't mistaken, the opportunity that Bai Xiaosheng was planning might be related to the Chaotic Star Gambling House.

However, it's best not to alert them right now; we should just observe them closely for the time being.

Moreover, the original body he transformed into likely had acquaintances at the Chaotic Star Gambling House.

He did not intend to enter the Chaotic Star Casino without being certain of his abilities.

Therefore, it seems that he is now left with only two choices...

Firstly, they contacted the Zhenlong caravan to purchase mushrooms and mushroom materials, and to inquire about information regarding Beiming Island.

Secondly, by using his identity as a mushroom master, he could sneak into the Star Palace and take a look.

After a moment of contemplation, Wu Liang made his decision.

"Let's go to the Zhenlong Caravan first..."

"The Star Palace isn't in a hurry to make contact; the Zhenlong Caravan is much more important to me."

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate for long and immediately headed straight for the Zhenlong caravan.

Before long, Wu Liang arrived at the location of the Zhenlong caravan.

The Zhenlong caravan was located on the outer edge of Chaotic Star Island, with mushroom beasts of all sizes carrying mushrooms one after another.

These mushrooms are extremely heavy, and their interiors have been hollowed out to form a house.

These caravans lined up in a row, forming what appeared to be a market town.

Wu Liang wandered around, relying on his status as a Star Palace Mushroom Master, and quickly found out everything about the Zhenlong Merchant Caravan.

The Zhenlong caravan has more than 30 mushroom masters, most of whom are around the second rank.

There was only one manager, a peak third-tier mushroom master.

Logically speaking, such strength is insufficient to support the Zhenlong caravan, allowing it to freely cross the sea for trade.

After all, pirates were rampant at sea, and a peak level 3 mushroom master simply couldn't protect such a large caravan.

Wu Liang was quite puzzled by this, but after making some inquiries, he suddenly realized the truth.

The reason why the Zhenlong Caravan was so bold as to let a peak third-tier mushroom master lead the team was entirely because there were other experts in their caravan!
However, this expert was not human, but a yin-yang monstrous snake with two heads and four levels of transformation.

The Yin and Yang snakes each possess Yin and Yang poisons, respectively. A bite from one of them will result in either death or serious injury, and ordinary mushroom growers dare not approach them at all.

It was thanks to these two four-turn mushroom beasts that the Zhenlong Caravan was able to grow and become powerful in the surrounding seas.

"Two poisonous snakes..."

After learning this information, Wu Liang couldn't help but stroke his chin.

If he remembered correctly, refining the Multi-Eyed Golden Centipede seemed to require the eyes of ten Poisonous Mushroom Beasts.

If only he could remove the eyes of those two strange snakes...

Wu Liang pondered this matter.

However, he quickly suppressed this suicidal idea.

He's new here and hasn't had a chance to fully enjoy this hard-won period of peace.

It would be unwise to cause trouble at this time.

It's best to put aside the need for the eyes of the multi-eyed centipede for now and consider it later when there's an opportunity.

After dismissing the idea, Wu Liang naturally walked into a mushroom house.

Perhaps because he was a mushroom master, he received a warm welcome from the Zhenlong caravan as soon as he stepped into the mushroom house.

The manager of the Zhenlong caravan was a portly fat man.

Upon seeing Wu Liang, he greeted him with a smile and said, "What a rare guest! Isn't this the newly promoted Law Enforcement Mushroom Master, Fellow Daoist Zhuo?"

"My surname is Gao. Fellow Daoist Zhuo, please come in..."

Wu Liang smiled and nodded, then followed him to a private room. The executive ordered a pot of fine tea to be brewed, then looked at Wu Liang and asked with a cheerful smile, "Fellow Daoist Zhuo, what brings you here?"

Wu Liang wasn't in a hurry. He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.

Only then did he speak slowly and deliberately, "Regarding matters of high management, to be honest..."

"I've come here not for myself, but on behalf of someone to bring you a big business deal!"

"Oh?" The senior executive was somewhat surprised when he heard about the big business deal.

However, he seemed to remember something soon, and a look of understanding flashed across his face.

"I have long heard that Fellow Daoist Zhuo has a close relationship with the Star Palace's Upper Star Elder."

"Could it be that the business Fellow Daoist Zhuo is here to discuss is at the behest of Elder Shangxing?"

Clearly, the executives misunderstood something.

Wu Liang smiled, neither denying nor clarifying, letting his imagination run wild.

Of course, even if you asked him, he wouldn't be able to give a coherent explanation.

After all, he himself didn't know who that so-called Elder of the Upper Star was.

Looks like I'll have to find a mushroom master from the Star Palace and soak in the River of Oblivion.

Otherwise, if we continue to act like this, we risk being exposed sooner or later.

"I have been entrusted by someone to purchase a large amount of resources from your caravan."

"However, these resources are not urgent and can be purchased in batches."

"This is the order list I've compiled, which lists the resources we need to purchase this time. Please have the senior management review it."

Because Wu Liang didn't have enough money on hand, he had to lie through his teeth and change the required resources to be purchased in batches.

As he spoke, he handed the pre-prepared order form to the senior executive.

The executive took the order and glanced at it.

There were about ten mushrooms and more than thirty kinds of mushroom materials listed on it.

In addition, there are some special requirements for mushroom substrate...

Such as various kinds of mushroom beast eyes, the lowest level is the third level.

This is the finest wine in the world; I'll take as much as I can get.

"This is really a big deal!"

The executives became interested and their attitude became increasingly enthusiastic.

Although most of the mushrooms and mushroom materials on this order are first or second grade and not of high value, the quantity is still there.

Moreover, according to Wu Liang, these are only part of this 'big deal'.

In this situation, how could senior executives not be excited?

"Fellow Daoist Zhuo, please wait a moment while I go and check the goods."

"If we have enough stock, we can make the deal on the spot."

Once the executives received the order, they couldn't sit still any longer and immediately wanted to arrange for the goods to be delivered to complete the transaction.

Wu Liang wasn't in a hurry. He waved his hand and let him leave with the order slip.

He sipped his tea while waiting for the goods to return.

Before long, the senior executive led several maids back to the Mushroom House.

The maids were carrying all the items that Wu Liang had written on the order form.

Wu Liang was slightly surprised when he saw this.

He truly hadn't expected the Zhenlong caravan to be so powerful.

He originally thought that it would take a lot of time to collect all these things.

Unexpectedly, the Zhenlong caravan was so helpful that it quickly gathered almost everything he needed.

In this way, many of his plans, which had previously only existed in his mind, could finally be put on the right track... (End of this chapter)
