The world enters the fungal world

Chapter 187 Illustrated Guide (Thanks to ricky007 for the donation)

Although Zhou Xigang claimed they came from another human world, there was actually no evidence left, and they had essentially integrated into this world.

Even if Bai Xiuluo had ulterior motives and wanted to spread the word, it wouldn't make much sense; on the contrary, it would only make people think he was crazy.

Seeing that Li Yu had finally agreed, Bai Xiuluo finally breathed a long sigh of relief and felt at ease.

"By the way, Brother Bai, speaking of natural humans, did your world used to have many natural humans? Where did they all go?"

Zhou Xigang subtly tried to learn about the natural and human nature of the past.

Bai Xiuluo shook his head and said, "I don't know much about natural humans either. If I can break through to the spore stage within the next month and truly become a resident of Lingxu City, and come into contact with the people in Lingxu City, perhaps they will know."

Zhou Xigang was somewhat disappointed, but unfortunately Bai Xiuluo didn't know about the past affairs of those natural humans.

Li Yu said, "You should have reached the peak of the spore stage ten days ago. You'll definitely be able to break through to the spore stage in another month."

Bai Xiuluo smiled faintly and said, "I'm about to break through."

Upon hearing this, all four of them were taken aback.

Zhou Xigang looked at him in astonishment and said, "You're about to break through?"

Bai Xiuluo's eyes narrowed slightly before he said, "If I wanted to, I could break through before the 15th. However, if I break through before the 15th, it would attract too much attention and I might be watched by many people, which would make it inconvenient for me to go to the forbidden zone of life."

Li Yu took a deep breath. So it turns out that if Bai Xiuluo went all out, he could actually break through to the Spore Stage within a month.

He remembered that in the huge warehouse, the black-armored man had said that in each previous batch, someone would break through to the spore stage, but only in their batch were they all useless.

The truth is that such people were hidden among this group, but they deliberately suppressed their own advancement.

There are many ways to suppress them, such as deliberately eating the lowest level five edible fungi, or even eating as little as possible, or hunting as few fungal beasts as possible.

These methods can all slow down the growth rate of the beneficial bacteria.

As Bai Xiuluo just said, the reason he was able to grow so quickly, besides hard work and talent, was most importantly because he obtained a tremendous opportunity.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to be so extraordinary.

"Amazing, absolutely amazing." Qian Lili was filled with admiration, her eyes shining as she stared at Bai Xiuluo.

Bai Xiuluo didn't look at her, and continued, "Then it's settled. We'll leave here before the city gates close at night and head to the North District."

Zhou Xigang said with some concern, "It's just that the road ahead is difficult to travel."

Having finally made it to Lingxu City from Supply Point No. 5, we now have to head back to Supply Point No. 5, a journey fraught with danger.

Bai Xiuluo smiled faintly and said, "With Li Yu and me here, what are you afraid of? If you're really worried, we'll go with those newcomers later. With the people from Lingxu City leading the way, the fungal beasts along the way won't dare to make any moves. We'll head to supply point number five, which is the fifth batch of newcomers. In that case, we need to hurry up and prepare."

Li Yu said, "Alright, let's go see what's available at this market."

The third batch of new recruits has already left Lingxu City. If they decide to leave with the fifth batch, they really need to hurry.

Afterwards, the group headed towards the market. Fortunately, the crowd had thinned out somewhat. Li Yu folded the map and put it away. Then he saw that the nearest shop was filled with a large number of books, and many people were browsing through them.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that these piles of books included descriptions of various edible fungi, different types of fungal beasts, the area surrounding Lingxu City, as well as various special fungi and items.

The booklet they had seen earlier only introduced some level 5 and level 4 edible fungi that frequently appeared around the supply point, as well as dozens of level C and D fungal beasts, and some scattered information about monsters of unknown level.

The various books piled up in this store are what constitute a complete set of materials.

There was just too much information. If Li Yu really wanted to memorize it all, he estimated that apart from Zhou Xigang, it would be difficult for anyone else to remember so much information in a short period of time.

"Give me a picture book mushroom." The white-haired Asura in front of him took out 10,000 gold coins and handed them to a black-armored man in the shop.

The man in black armor accepted 10,000 gold coins and handed Bai Xiuluo a symbiotic fungus that was faintly shrouded in a white light. Clearly, this was the Illustrated Guide Fungus.

Li Yu had already noticed the information about the encyclopedia bacteria hanging on a wooden sign to the side.

This is a very special symbiotic bacterium that can be used to store and input information. The illustrated bacteria sold here now already have various information pre-recorded in them.

This includes information on edible fungi of various grades, information on fungal beasts of various grades, information on various special fungi, and information on various items, etc.

"By simply fusing with the encyclopedia bacteria, you can immediately obtain this information without having to memorize it slowly. The downside is that it takes up a symbiotic bacteria slot and requires 10,000 gold coins. If you buy books and memorize them slowly, it will be much cheaper, with each book costing only 10 gold coins."

Looking at the detailed descriptions on the wooden board and then at the large number of illustrated fungi displayed in the shop, Li Yu knew that this was specially prepared for them, the newcomers, by Lingxu City. For just 10,000 gold coins, they could save themselves the trouble of painstakingly memorizing various information.

In particular, the information about the various levels of fungal beasts is extremely important to them.

Li Yu knew that the booklet he had previously written down only contained C-level and D-level fungal beasts, apart from those of unknown levels. There were no records of more powerful fungal beasts above C-level.

Clearly, that booklet is only suitable for beginners below the peak of the spore stage.

So Bai Xiuluo didn't hesitate to spend 10,000 gold coins to buy a picture book bacterium and then merged it into it.

Li Yu took out 10,000 gold coins and bought a picture book bacterium, which he then put away. However, he had already fused with three symbiotic bacteria and could not fuse with the picture book bacterium for the time being. He could only save it to fuse with after breaking through to the peak.

Zhou Xigang casually picked up a book about fungal-infused beasts and started reading.

He wanted to use his photographic memory to memorize the contents of the book in a short time.

He has a special fondness for reading.

Li Yu then helped him pick out ten books, which cost exactly 100 gold coins. He bought all the books and gave them to Zhou Xigang.

Zhou Xigang was excited when he received the books. He could not compare to Li Yu and Bai Xiuluo in other aspects, but when it came to memory, they could not even come close to him.

Zhou Xigang finally regained some confidence.

After leaving the shop selling illustrated guides and various books and materials, they came to a shop selling all kinds of clothes, shoes, socks, waist bags and other personal items. The group just browsed around without making any purchases.

"The only things worth buying in the outer city of Lingxu City are the surrounding map and the encyclopedia. Now that the fourth batch of newcomers has left, it will soon be the turn of the fifth batch of newcomers heading to Supply Point No. 5."

Bai Xiuluo glanced at the mushroom stall, which was crowded with people looking at the wooden boards hanging on both sides.

The wooden board detailed some symbiotic bacteria, which were mostly top-quality weapon-related symbiotic bacteria, and were quite expensive.

Besides weapon-type symbiotic bacteria, there are also some special types of symbiotic bacteria. Li Yu learned from the introduction that in addition to the normal three types of symbiotic bacteria—weapon, defense, and support—there are also various special symbiotic bacteria in this world.

He still had six Energizing Mushrooms left, so he spent another 10000 gold coins to buy ten more Energizing Mushrooms, and also purchased three sets of belts with two waist pouches each, one for Lin Muying, one for Qian Lili, and one for Zhou Xigang.

Now, the amount of gold coins he has left is 28902.

"The fifth batch of new recruits has arrived."

Bai Xiuluo's voice rang out.

Li Yu turned his head and saw that three more carriages had appeared from the inner city, followed by eight black-armored knights. Behind them were groups of young men and women wearing leather armor and knee pads and carrying various weapons.

This batch of 1,000 new recruits will head to Supply Point 5.

"By following behind them, we don't have to worry about being attacked by those fungal beasts."

Bai Xiuluo looked at them. Although with his strength, he was not afraid of the fungal beasts on the way to Supply Point No. 5.

However, considering that Lin Muying, Qian Lili, and Zhou Xigang were only at the advanced stage of the spore stage, he chose to respect their decision.

Qian Lili nodded hurriedly and said, "Now that we're back at Supply Point No. 5, I think it's safer to stick with them."

Although Bai Xiuluo and Li Yu were powerful, only five people returned to the supply point. Just thinking about the dangers along the way made her scalp tingle.

Bai Xiuluo said, "Alright, let's set off now."

Li Yu nodded slightly. The outer city of Lingxu City indeed didn't offer much to see; it only sold relatively basic items.

Strictly speaking, only the inner city can be considered the true Spirit Ruins City. The outer city exists purely to temporarily settle these newcomers during the Night of the Fungal Disaster.

Li Yu saw that people were leaving through the outer city gate.

Among these people were some powerful peak Spore Stage experts who bought maps and some necessary supplies and left Lingxu City without wanting to waste any more time.

Time was of the essence; they wanted to become stronger, break through the peak of the spore stage, and become true residents of Lingxu City before the next bacterial plague arrived.

"Brother Bai, are you all going to come together?" Suddenly, a voice came, and Li Yu saw Wei Tian leading a few people over.

Bai Xiuluo turned to look at him.

Accompanying Wei Tian were his two brothers, Guo Jun and Wang Huai'an, as well as several other peak experts who had come to Lingxu City with him.

Bai Xiuluo nodded to Wei Tian, ​​which was considered a reply.

Wei Tian laughed and said, "Why don't we go together? It's safer with more people."

Li Yu asked, "Where are you planning to go?"

"Of course, it's the Ancient Tree Ghost Forest. Right now, the only suitable place for us is the Ancient Tree Ghost Forest, which mainly contains C-level elite beasts and rare beasts. If we join forces, we should have no problem breaking into the Ancient Tree Ghost Forest."

Li Yu thought that since they were heading to the hotel, they couldn't go to the Ancient Tree Ghost Forest for the time being.

Bai Xiuluo said calmly, "I prefer fewer people. The four of us—me, Li Yu, and the others—are enough."

Hearing Bai Xiuluo say this, Wei Tian didn't take it to heart and just smiled and said, "Alright, then we'll be going now."
