This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 198. Rewards
Pink—a new variety!

It's magical—delicious!
For Xiao Hei, this temptation was simply irresistible, and there was no reason not to try it!
But as soon as she took her first step, the knight next to Pinkpuji reacted. Several mycelial tentacles flashed and wrapped around the still dazed Inanna, and she turned and ran!

The large black mushroom that was rapidly approaching from afar, exuding an aura of "dinner is served," instantly sent chills down Aidin's spine. Without a word, he silently cast a powerful invisibility spell on himself and shrank into the shadows.

Who knows if it was arranged by the boss?
He dared not make any rash moves.

Inanna had no idea what was happening. She was being entangled by the knight and had no ability to resist. Her commands were ineffective.

"Boss! Boss! What's going on? Why did it kidnap me and run away?"

"You are the one! Why did you transform yourself into a poopy?"

"I want to think about it, I want to think about it, even the fungal carpet!" Inanna replied, a little flustered and a little shy.

"???"

Something's wrong with you!

When Lin Jun saw Inanna use her shapeshifting ability, she was filled with question marks, not knowing what Inanna meant.

When Xiao Hei came over after smelling the aroma, Lin Jun was completely numb!
This guy carries the mark of vengeance just like you!

Eating everything will only harm you!

Fortunately, Xiao Hei thought it was just like usual, playing pre-meal exercises with the Puji, so he didn't use his full strength.

But that doesn’t work either!

While trying to dissuade Xiao Hei from within the fungal net, Lin Jun manipulated several sweet-smelling creatures covered in honey to burst out.

They jumped out one by one, fearlessly burrowing under the big black mushroom's cap, which was the spot where the little black mushroom mimicked the back of its mouth.

Faced with the sweet treat that was being offered to him, Xiao Hei simply couldn't refuse.

One, two, three...

Finally, a large black mushroom, its belly bulging and its entire body covered in honey from the "battle," collapsed under a giant mushroom tree.

I've made it...

"belch……"

When the overly enthusiastic Pujis forced her to eat half of it, she had already completely forgotten about the pink Puji.

Overeating, Little Black struggled to move its heavy body and slowly crawled back to its warm little nest, soon emitting a satisfied "snoring" sound.

In her dream, the pink and tender Poo-ko, exuding an alluring, magical fragrance, made her drool once again...

……

It's so numb!

What kind of weird fetish does this pink-loving girl have? She almost caused a big problem!
They grabbed Aidin, who was still hiding, and took the two of them to the sixth floor, separating them from Xiao Hei.

Completely unaware that it had just brushed past the edge of the apex predator's menu, Pink Puji cheered as soon as it was thrown next to the huge "Puji Public Dining Hall" on the sixth floor, and eagerly shoved itself into the warm and moist fungal carpet.

As countless tiny mycelia gently wrapped around and connected to her body, a familiar and unforgettable warmth and fullness, as if returning to the womb, instantly enveloped her.

At this moment, there was no duke's daughter, no Inanna, only a Puji completely integrated into the fungal carpet network, gently "filled" by the gushing magic and nutrients.

No worries, no troubles, only... pure, unparalleled satisfaction!
A few minutes later, the "feeding" was already finished and the energy replenishment was saturated, but Pinky remained motionless, lying comfortably on the fungal carpet, its two little short legs twitching back and forth. It seemed that it was determined to lie in this gentle paradise until the transformation magic automatically expired.

"You...want to try it too?" The devil's temptation echoed in Aiding's mind. Looking at the young lady who was completely succumbing to temptation in front of him, Aiding firmly shook his head.

Although he has already joined the Puji, he is still a human. It would be too terrifying for him to be assimilated into a Puji.

In reality, Lin Jun was just asking casually.

Seeing that Aidin didn't need it, he naturally wouldn't force him.

“Aidin,” Lin Jun’s thoughts shifted to approval, tinged with obvious satisfaction, “you did a very good job this time!”

Whether it was cleverly summoning Inanna through guild channels or "just right" "discovering" and capturing Knight Puji in the Deep Zone, Aiden's execution was impeccable.

Lin Jun naturally wouldn't treat him unfairly.

A crystal, wrapped around two heavy objects and radiating pure and powerful magical energy, was handed to Aidin.

"A-grade magic crystal!? And... such a big one?!" Aiding's voice cracked.

It wasn't that he was unsophisticated; the A-grade magic crystal he had bought at a high price was embedded in his own staff—the magic crystal was only the size of an index finger and was already a rare treasure!
And these two in front of us... each one is as big as an adult's palm!
Sharp-edged and flawlessly clear, their interiors seemed to shimmer with a liquid aura of magic. Even more astonishingly, their shapes, sizes, and even the frequencies of their magical fluctuations were almost identical!
This is simply the perfect prototype for creating twin magic items that require perfect resonance!
However, it would be a waste not to use this quality A-grade magic crystal to make a powerful staff!
For a moment, Aiding held the two magic crystals, and he was caught in a huge, happy, and anxious state of mind.

After a long while, he seemed to wake from a dream and solemnly put away the two magic crystals.

He looked up again, as if he had made up his mind.

"Boss! I... am willing to become Puji too!"

What are you saying that I can't understand?

……

……

……

The misunderstanding was deep and the explanation was troublesome, so Lin Jun simply sent Aiding to the creep to experience for himself what it was like to replenish mana on the creep.

The two A-grade magic crystals given to him were indeed very precious, but to Lin Jun, they were nothing special.

Since the old mushroom garden was reclaimed, the magic crystal mine has naturally not been idle.

The quality of the magic crystals mined inside is much higher than that of the fifth floor, and with Puji's [Crystal Symbiosis LV7], there is no shortage of A-grade magic crystals.

Lin Jun had a premonition that once this skill reached LV8, she would be able to produce S-grade magic crystals.

However, improving this skill can only be achieved by slowly accumulating experience through constantly consuming massive amounts of low-level magic crystals. It's a very slow and painstaking process, and it's unclear when he'll be able to level up again.

Actually, if Aiding had fewer skills, Lin Jun would have liked to reward him with some useful ones.

Unfortunately, as a seasoned diamond-level middle-aged adventurer, his skill bar is longer than Dylan's, and Lin Jun is simply unwilling to spend so much magic to add skills to him.

Fortunately, judging from Aidin's performance, the simple and direct reward of hard currency has already exceeded his needs.
-
The two meritorious officials were entertained on the sixth floor.

In the deepest part of the city, a tailless silver-scaled lizardman, whose transformation was finally complete, slowly awoke.

"Boss?" Norris's consciousness was still a little hazy.

"You're awake! Come over here and get tested!"

Lin Jun couldn't wait to find out what would happen if she applied the crucial skill [Mental Integration LV7] to someone else!
