This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 301. 300. Someone will always call me Little Blue.

Before the pig left, Lin Jun instructed, "The ceremony preparations will definitely take some time. You can feed on whomever you want these next few days. I'll subsidize your contributions, so don't go hungry."

“Understood, boss! I’ll be in top form before the ceremony!” Louisa’s eyes gleamed.

"No, what I mean is, if I die, at least I'll die with a full stomach."

"..."

After Louisa left with a mix of complex emotions, Lin Jun manipulated the Marshal's mycelial tentacles to poke at the yellow book: "List out the specific materials."

Lin Jun has most of the materials in stock, or can buy them relatively easily from humans, but...

"How much did you say?" The voice in the voice chatter rose in pitch.

[Boss, I didn't delete any words...]
"Six pieces! Each the size of a palm! S-grade magic crystals?!" Lin Jun exclaimed incredulously. "Do you think S-grade magic crystals are mushrooms that grow on a fungal carpet?!"

[Boss, using low-level magic crystals... it's not that it won't work, but it's a matter of success rate!]
[Luisa is an important member of our mushroom farm; we can't afford any mishaps!]
The yellow book is practically begging Lin Jun not to be stingy with money for the little pig by hugging its chubby waist with its cover.

"No... where am I supposed to get six S-grade magic crystals for you?"

Please, please think of a solution!
[Um...don't those two battle puppets have them on them?]
"You're planning this?" Lin Jun almost laughed out of anger at these words.

The battle puppet was indeed covered in S-grade magic crystals; taking off even one leg would be more than enough.

But what's the difference between this and taking the engine from a starship and using it as an engine for a tractor?
Of course, that's a bit of an exaggeration; a pig is much better than a tractor, but that's the gist of it.

As for using [Crystal Symbiosis LV8] to transform it myself?
Considering the current impressive conversion rate and the total amount of magic crystals in stock... Lin Jun was not confident at all.

"Put the magic crystals aside for now," Puji asked, pointing to a line on the book. "Why does your vampire advancement ritual require 'fresh werewolf fur'? If werewolves become extinct, won't this ritual be completely lost?"

[It shouldn't be that bad. Many materials can theoretically be replaced, but this record only mentions this one option.] The Yellow Book doesn't seem to be so sure either.

[As for why it's werewolf fur... why bother delving into it? We have it right here, isn't that perfect?]
That's true. There's still a group of werewolves on the tenth floor of the dungeon that's been left unattended.

After communicating with the yellow book, Lin Jun took the magic circle to show Aiding.

Without much information, Aidin judged from experience that this was some kind of refined magic circle, rather than a teleportation or other trap.
-
On the tenth floor, next to the entrance to the stairs leading down, a werewolf covered in blue fur was crouching on the ground, its sharp teeth tearing at the limb of an unknown monster.

He maintained this poised stance, ready to switch to a sprinting posture on all fours at any moment, guarding against possible sneak attacks from other monsters on the tenth floor.

The tenth floor is not a paradise for werewolves. Even with level restrictions, other monsters living here still have the opportunity to pose a threat to werewolves.

Plop-plop-

The werewolf's ears perked up immediately; a familiar voice came from inside the stairs!
Sure enough, a moment later, a round, plump little thing emerged from the shadows of the steps.

"Oh! Big mushroom! You've finally come again!" The werewolf excitedly dropped the half-eaten leg bone and tried to move closer, but forgot about the invisible barrier, and his nose was instantly squeezed flat.

"Ouch...it hurts!" The werewolf covered its nose and took two steps back, looking at Puji inside the stairs with a hint of resentment. "I really envy you, being able to move around freely..."

"Xiao Lan, why are you squatting here all day long?" Lin Jun asked very naturally.

"What... I don't have anything else to do... Besides, my name is clearly Ulfgang Shadowhowl Violet..."

“Stop, stop,” Puji interrupted him. “I’ve been meaning to say this before, doesn’t a name like ‘Shadow Howl’ feel a little… um, awkward?” The werewolf wasn’t annoyed by the name being criticized; he just looked at Puji with a puzzled expression: “Awkward? Besides, everyone’s name is like that…”

"Alright, Little Blue." Puji walked confidently down the steps and stopped unsuspectingly beside the werewolf's huge paw. "Don't be envious. You'll be able to go down there in a while."

"Really?!" Little Blue's huge wolf eyes widened instantly, and it squatted down abruptly, almost completely enveloping Puji in its shadow. "Big Mushroom! You saved me, and I'm very grateful, but don't lie to me! We hate deception and betrayal the most!"

"Have I lied to you?"

Xiao Lan shook her head.

"That's right, it won't be more than a month, just wait!"

Lin Jun wasn't lying to him about this. Lin Jun had never stopped exploring the core of the underground city. Recently, he successfully figured out the part related to the level restrictions. With a little more time, he should have results.

Little Blue didn't say anything, but its thick tail started slapping uncontrollably across the ground.

After scanning for a while, he finally came to his senses and asked, "How long is a month?"

……

Although there were many things going on in the far north and Mushroom Town, Lin Jun was not completely inactive regarding the tenth floor. This werewolf was the result of her efforts during this period.

This guy is only level 45, yet he dared to challenge the Diamond-level Rifttooth Beast, which has reached the tenth level cap, and actually won by a narrow margin!
Of course, he himself was also torn half to death, with a broken leg, and collapsed next to the carcass of the Rifttooth Beast. If it weren't for Lin Jun, the outcome would have been mutual destruction.

The fungal carpet is now ubiquitous on the tenth floor, and Lin Jun naturally discovered him. Under the guise of treatment, she allowed him to become parasitized and even helped him reattach his leg.

As for the carcass of the Razortooth Beast? That's just for Puffy's "treatment fee".

At this point, the werewolf's body had already blended into the mycelium, but its thick fur made it impossible to tell.

Thanks to the life-saving grace, the fungal network communication and the magical ability to be unrestricted by invisible walls, as well as the interesting information about the outside world that Lin Jun would occasionally reveal, they quickly became familiar with Xiao Lan.

Perhaps out of concern that other werewolves might harm Puji, or perhaps for some other subtle reason, Xiao Lan never mentioned this matter to his fellow werewolves, even though Lin Jun never asked him to keep it a secret.

In reality, even if he mentioned Lin Jun, she wouldn't care.

The werewolves' fate was sealed the moment Lin Jun took control of the underground city's core; the only difference was the process.

As Lin Jun was explaining to the underground city native what "one month" meant, the werewolf suddenly leaned closer and sniffed hard.

"Big mushroom..." the werewolf said with a hint of confusion and uncertainty, "Your scent... seems a little different from last time?"

Is this a dog's nose...?

It turns out that different varieties of the same type of Puji can taste different. Lin Jun has learned something new!

"How would I know? I don't have a nose!" The mycelium tentacles pushed the wolf head away slightly. "Let's not talk about that. I brought you something fun this time!"

As soon as it heard about something fun outside, Xiao Lan's attention was immediately diverted.

Then, with a plop, he pulled a bottle of dark green potion from his stomach...
