Mushroom Man

"Stone material, top-quality stone material!"

"These are all new stones brought from the abyss, and their quality is thousands or even tens of thousands of times better than the junk outside."

"Take a walk, have a look, and have a look!"

Wu Liang led the fox-eared boy, who was lost in thought, and soon arrived at the gambling stone area of ​​Ghost Market.

The area is dotted with stone gambling stalls, displaying all sorts of stones, strange and wonderful, a dazzling array.

It is obvious that the stones here are of much better quality than those at the Chaotic Star Casino.

Wu Liang scanned the entire room, his target clear.

This time, he was lucky and finally found an old man with a white beard who was selling stones at a stall.

To avoid mistaking it, Wu Liang took a closer look.

Soon, he discovered a stubborn rock under the table where the gambling stones were displayed, which he could use as a stepping stone.

An old man with a white beard, a stepping stone...

All the characteristics matched up one by one, and it was clear that hard work pays off; this guy was the one Wu Liang was looking for!
Wu Liang was secretly delighted, but he didn't show it on his face.

He didn't reveal his true purpose and immediately ran to ask for the stepping stone.

Instead, they pretended to be passersby interested in jade gambling, stopping in front of the other person's stall, looking around.

Wu Liang did this, naturally, to avoid arousing the old man's suspicion as much as possible.

After all, anyone who suddenly sees a stranger asking for a useless stone with a clear objective would definitely overthink it.

If the white-bearded old man realizes something, and then things become unpredictable, that would be bad.

"Old man, how much are the stones on your stall?"

Wu Liang spoke in a calm and indifferent tone, without concealing his fourth-level aura.

The white-bearded old man was just a third-level mushroom grower, but when he saw that an important person was visiting his stall, he immediately perked up.

He quickly stood up and respectfully said, "My lord, I have three grades of stone materials on my stall: superior, medium, and inferior."

"Each piece of top-grade stone contains one hundred drops of silver water, each piece of medium-grade stone contains ten drops of silver water, and each piece of low-grade stone contains one drop of silver water."

"The price is fair, the output is stable, and not long ago someone even got a level 3 Electric Eye Mushroom from me."

"If you're interested, why not buy a few and try your luck?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said arrogantly, "How can a few be enough to test my luck?"

"Give me fifty pieces of top-grade stone, four hundred pieces of medium-grade stone, and one thousand pieces of low-grade stone!"

"Exactly ten thousand silver coins. I'd like to see if you have any here."

Upon hearing this, the white-bearded old man was first taken aback, then instantly overjoyed.

What a wealthy and powerful woman!

He doesn't make a move unless he's absolutely sure of it, but when he does, it's a whopping 10,
They've practically bought up all the rough stones on his stall!
Ordinary people buy rough stones to try their luck, and at most they will only buy a few pieces. Even gambling addicts will only buy a few dozen pieces at a time.

Unlike this beautiful woman, who bought over a thousand stones in one go.

This is truly a case of having too much money to spend, and being extravagant to the extreme!

After completing this order, he probably won't need to set up a stall for a whole year!
The white-bearded old man was deeply moved when he thought of this.

He dared not be negligent in the slightest and quickly and efficiently counted the stones, for fear of arousing Wu Liang's dissatisfaction.

Wu Liang was so arrogant for two reasons: first, to cover up the stepping stone, and second, to indulge his passion for gambling on stones.

Since he left Zhaodi Town, he hasn't been involved in jade gambling for a long time.

As for whether spending so much silver will have any impact on him, there's no need to worry.

A mere ten thousand taels of silver is not enough to seriously injure him. "My lord, I will cut it open for you right away."

The white-bearded old man was completely unaware of this and was very eager to help Wu Liang open the stone.

Wu Liang nodded slightly, indicating that he had no objection to this.

The commotion caused by the white-bearded old man attracted the attention of many mushroom masters in the Ghost Workshop.

These mushroom growers were seeing this for the first time; they were all eager to see what was going on and to watch the spectacle.

"Drive faster, drive faster!"

"Haha, I've had my eye on these stones for a long time, but unfortunately I don't have enough money, so I haven't been able to make up my mind."

"Today, this lady bought the stone that I admire. I would like to take a look and see if there are any mushrooms in these stones."

The mushroom growers watching chimed in with their own opinions, making a fuss.

The white-bearded old man was under immense pressure, cutting the stone with even greater care, fearing he wouldn't be able to extract the mushroom and ruin his family's reputation.

With the idea that hardship comes before reward, he started by cutting the lower-grade stone, which took him a full half hour to finish.

These thousand pieces of low-grade stone yielded only four mushrooms and six different types of mushroom substrate.

One of the mushrooms was even a broken, long-dead, unusable mushroom.

The quality of the mushroom substrate varies greatly, and most of it is waterborne mushroom substrate, which doesn't fetch much price in Beihai.

As for the remaining three mushrooms, they somewhat mitigated the loss.

Two second-stage mushrooms and one first-stage mushroom.

They are: 2nd turn Hydrogelatina, 2nd turn Enoki Mushroom, and 1st turn Moonlight Mushroom.

These three mushrooms were not entirely useless to Wu Liang, but they were of little use.

Needless to say, Wu Liang had no use for the hydrophyte.

The latter two are somewhat interesting. The enoki mushroom can shoot out a golden needle, and if it is upgraded to a high level, the golden needle can be produced endlessly.

For the average mushroom grower, it can be considered a good type of mushroom for killing pests.

As for the Moonlight Mushroom, Wu Liang happens to have the recipe for the Blood Moon Mushroom, which can be used.

The most useful thing cut from a thousand pieces of low-grade stone turned out to be a single mushroom.

Without a doubt, Wu Liang was completely dumbfounded...

The onlookers, seeing this spectacle, were all gloating.

However, perhaps because Wu Liang had revealed his fourth-level cultivation, no one was foolish enough to say anything offensive at this time.

"My lord, please be patient, the best things are yet to come..."

The white-bearded old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly spoke up to comfort Wu Liang, fearing that this fourth-level mushroom master would take his anger out on him.

As he spoke, he tirelessly went to cut four hundred medium-sized stones.

This time, Wu Liang's mind stirred, and he boldly activated the Fortune-Turning Mushroom!

In an instant, the fate of the universe underwent a dramatic transformation.

"It's shipped! It's shipped!!!"

I don't know if it was the lucky mushroom that worked.

Wu Liang had just activated the Turning Mushroom when he heard someone exclaim in surprise.

He immediately looked up and saw the white-bearded old man using his inner energy as a knife to peel away pieces of stone.

Layers of stone powder peeled away, revealing a three-stage mushroom hidden within... a hairy mushroom! (End of Chapter)
