This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 250, Page 249: The New Hidden Room

"There are Puji in the treasure room...?" Amy stared at the scene in the room, her tone filled with disbelief and doubt.

"No, no, no!" Horn immediately retorted, shaking his head like a rattle-drum. "Which dungeon legend mentions that a puji would pop out of a treasure room? Absolutely not!"

“Then…” Amy was speechless for a moment.

Even the bugle call fell silent.

He observed cautiously for a moment, and seeing that there seemed to be no danger inside, he signaled Amy to guard the door while he led Noah inside to see what was going on.

In the center of the room, a particularly round, chubby guy named Puji was sitting upright behind a wooden table naturally formed from gnarled tree branches.

On the side facing the entrance, several large, sturdy mushrooms, about knee-high, stand prominently, resembling round stools prepared for visitors.

Fat Puji wasn't alone; several other Puji of normal size were quietly "sitting" on the fungal carpet behind it.

As soon as they entered, two puffies came forward and gently nudged them with their soft tentacles, gesturing for them to sit on the peculiar mushroom stools.

Horn and Noah sat down with a touch of curiosity; the mushroom stools were more bouncy and comfortable than they had imagined!
At this moment, Fat Otaku Puji raised a thick tentacle, and Horn instinctively tensed his body, his hand quietly sliding towards the dagger at his waist.

However, Fat Puji simply rolled up nimbly and scooped up a Puji with an extremely strange appearance from the fungal carpet next to it—its mushroom cap looked like an open mouth with tiny sharp teeth along the edges, and it was already filled with clear water!
Fat Otaku Puji placed the burrowing Puji steadily on the wooden table in front of the two of them. Then, it pulled out a handful of bright red mushrooms from its own body and threw them into the burrowing Puji.

"Delicious mushroom!" Both of them recognized the red mushroom that had recently become a sensation.

That wasn't all. Fat Puji then rolled up another Puji covered in sticky honey and carefully squeezed a few drops of golden honey into the "pot".

Finally, it used its tentacle tip to dab a tiny drop of the glowing flower fairy paralysis liquid from a hollow little poopy's body and put it inside.

Once ready, Fat Otaku Puji used its tentacles to pick up the slightly trembling and heat-emitting Puji, and gently shook it like a cocktail shaker for about two minutes.

Two minutes later, a special dish of Puji, emitting an indescribably enticing aroma, was ready.

The strange, rich aroma filled the air, and even Aimei, who was guarding outside the door, couldn't help but swallow.

The two people in the room understood what was going on. They quickly took out wooden bowls from their luggage. Fatso Puji's tentacles held the Earth-Drilling Puji and poured a full bowl for Horn and Noah respectively.

Horn was the first to pick up the bowl, blow on it, and take a big gulp: "Hiss...it's a bit hot!"

He had just finished complaining when he suddenly felt a shiver run through his body!
An indescribable flavor, a perfect blend of sweetness and umami, exploded in my mouth, followed by a subtle, irresistible numbing sensation that instantly spread from the tip of my tongue to every part of my body, causing my body to tremble slightly involuntarily.

The numbness spread quickly, and Horn's legs gave way, causing him to collapse onto the carpet-like fungal carpet with a "thud." The surrounding Puji immediately swarmed around him...

"Horn!" Amy, who had been watching inside from outside the door, immediately drew her short bow upon seeing this.

"Wait! Wait! Amy, I'm alright!" From the pile of poops came Horn's slightly slurred but strong voice.

Aimei peered in puzzlement and saw that the Pujis were lined up in an orderly little circle, stepping on the back of the horn lying on the ground one by one. The horn's eyes rolled back slightly from the strange numbing sensation, but it looked like it was enjoying itself, and it was humming comfortably from time to time.

Noah, holding the bowl of special mushroom soup, glanced at the ethereal horn floating on the ground, then at the fragrant soup in the bowl. He wanted to try the delicious soup as soon as possible, but he was also a little embarrassed to be in that state in front of his companions...

The dosage of the numbing fluid was very small. Just a few minutes later, the numbness in Horn's body receded like a tide. He stood up with a jolt, stretched his muscles and bones, and felt completely refreshed. His fatigue was swept away, and the Puji also tacitly stopped their "massage" service.

Amy, who had been waiting impatiently, decisively asked to be replaced, pushing the still slightly dizzy horn outside. She and Noah also took turns enjoying this all-around service. When the three of them finally stood outside the stone gate, they felt incredibly relaxed, their stomachs full and warm, and their spirits refreshed. For a moment, none of them wanted to leave.

"Is that... the end?" Amy smacked her lips, still wanting more.

However, when they looked back with lingering reluctance, all that remained behind them was the cold, rough stone wall. The heavy stone door, carved with intricate patterns, along with the Puji Restaurant inside, had vanished without a trace!

"So the hidden room moved so quickly!" Noah murmured to himself, staring at the empty stone wall, a hint of regret in his voice.

Horn stroked his chin, savoring the comfort and deliciousness of the meal, but he felt like he'd forgotten something. After a long while, he exclaimed, "Wait a minute! Where's the treasure chest?! Where's our treasure?!"

……

Treasure?

The treasures are all poop!

A puffy creature used its tentacles to curl up a pair of arm guards and skillfully infused them with magic.

hum!
A magical shield, shimmering with a faint light, instantly unfolded in front of the arm guard.

Hmm... another skill item, added to my savings!

Lin Jun couldn't enter the dungeon's true treasure trove, but that didn't stop him from looting all the treasures that spawned beforehand.

If Lin Jun doesn't actively control the hidden room, it will automatically relocate periodically and appear in the adventurer's sight from time to time.

It's not good to always let adventurers find the hidden rooms that have already been looted, so let's just create a Puji massage restaurant and wait until everyone gets used to this setting.

Lin Jun didn't cut corners either, not only using all the seasonings, but also using top-grade mushrooms of [Delicious LV4] as the core ingredient!

As the skills are upgraded, the quality of the mushrooms can be even higher. You know, the ones that grow naturally on the ground are at most level 3.

Lin Jun discovered that this "delicious" was truly amazing. Besides creating delicious mushrooms and delicious Puji, it could also be used to feed living beings, such as the minotaur in front of her who dared to cause trouble in Puji's territory.

It broke into the cave controlled by Lin Jun and ambushed and killed several Puji. After being captured, even though the mycelium had already parasitized it, it showed no remorse. So Lin Jun simply added a delicious treat for it and threw it to the little pig.

Faced with that special aroma, the little pig immediately demonstrated what it means to "eat with gusto".

With her arms bulging with muscles, she forcefully pressed the minotaur, who was much taller than her, to the ground, buried her head in his thick neck, and began to suckle frantically!
The minotaur struggled and fought back fiercely at first, but then its strength rapidly depleted, and it finally collapsed completely, lifeless. Louisa, her face covered in blood, suddenly came to her senses: "Oh no... it ate it all in one go..."

A water-storing puffball used its mycelial tentacles to spray some water while washing her, asking, "How does it taste?"

Realizing her earlier eating manner had been rather wild, Louisa awkwardly straightened her blood-stained clothes, smacking her lips with a wistful relish: "I've never tasted such...delicious blood! It's a pity, if only the rancid smell could be removed, it would be perfect!"

It's normal that you haven't tried it; what humanoid creature would have the "delicious" skill by default?

Judging from the little pig's lingering enjoyment, this thing...would it be a hit if it were thrown into the Empire?
