Wizard: This mushroom is too fierce.

Lilith's Magic Plant Shop is more like a small garden than a shop. The space inside is very large. As you enter from the door, you can see two forks in the road with two signs on them.

Combat-type magical plants - Functional magical plants

Roland first entered the passage on the right, and then looked through each passage, searching for the target he wanted.

The Silver Blue Vine, a classic functional magical plant from the Deep Caverns, is characterized by its resilience and is an essential magical plant for Deep Cavern Academy apprentices when exploring underground.

In the early years after the establishment of the Deep Cavern, many apprentices would often damage the original underground structure after battles while exploring underground, causing the tunnels to collapse and burying them inside, resulting in their needless deaths.

Therefore, Lady Lilith created the 'Silver Blue Vine' to help apprentices stabilize the surrounding geological structure and prevent tunnel collapse in such situations.

After leaving the functional magical plant area, Roland and Ize turned around and entered the combat magical plant area.

The magical plants in the combat area are generally more expensive than those in the other areas, and they are also more complex and diverse, often with several different varieties of the same species.

After browsing around for a long time, Ize finally couldn't help but ask Roland, "Which kind of magical plant do you want to cultivate? I think this 'Vampire Thorn' is pretty good. It's a very practical and popular magical plant among wizard apprentices."

Roland looked at the plant, shook his head, and said, "It is mentioned in the basic study of magical plants that practical and popular magical plants are usually at the forefront of a certain direction in the field of magical plants."

"Unless the creator of the magical plant gives you the cultivation method and the original seed, it is very difficult to cultivate this kind of magical plant with just a seed."

Roland's words make a lot of sense; Ize has never thought about this issue before.

"And this one!" Ize pointed to another green magical plant.

The magical plant 'Mandala Vine' is an extremely ancient magical plant, belonging to the classic combat-type magical plant category, but it still does not meet Roland's requirements.

"This 'Datura' plant seems to be the best entry-level plant for magic plant masters. Its cultivation method has been widely disseminated, and almost any magic plant apprentice can cultivate a decent datura plant."

"However, there is a major drawback for apprentices in the deep caves," Roland explained.

"As mentioned in the basics of plant science, in addition to the necessary cultivation methods, we also need to consider the soil, the surrounding environment, and the specific application."

"Datura grows in sunny areas and needs plenty of sunlight. It also has requirements for soil quality. Our secluded cave is located between mountains and valleys, and the soil is hard, which is not suitable for its growth."

"Besides, this plant was abandoned because it has almost no special characteristics and is completely useless compared to any magical plant in the current era."

Roland's words completely convinced Izzy. Watching Roland walk and talk eloquently about these magical plants, Izzy had this thought in his mind.

Perhaps Roland really can?

Thanks to his father, a great adventurer, Izzy wasn't exactly short of money when he first arrived at the Deep Cavern Academy. As a result, he tried all sorts of professions that could quickly help him advance in rank and significantly improve his status, such as potion-making and alchemy.

However, just as mentioned before, this is the domain of the gifted. Even though Ize spent a lot of time and magic stone fragments learning, there is no doubt that he failed completely.

"Why don't I have such talent!" Ize suddenly became extremely jealous.

"Why not me? I want him dead!!!"

According to the normal logic of adventure stories, the two of them would later become enemies, and Izzy would eventually become Roland's stepping stone. But Izzy is a normal person, and he would never do such a thing to his brother. He would love to have such a friend and have him carry him to new heights.

"Okay, don't be discouraged, keep going!" Ize cheered himself up. As a future great adventurer in the wizarding world, his future achievements were bound to be great, so there was no need to be discouraged by these things.

Ize's eyes flickered as he followed Roland, muttering in a voice only he could hear, "I am indeed a little envious..."

......

After wandering around for a while, Roland found the magical plant he wanted, or rather, it was the plant that called him there.

"Pfft!" A walking mushroom leaned against the glass wall, gazing at Roland with deep affection, as if it were seeing the sun.

"What did you say?"

"You must serve me as your master!" Roland asked, puzzled.

They've only met once, so why is this little rascal running up to them, trying to build a relationship?

[Talent: Fungus Master (You can produce wondrous reactions with most fungal organisms)]

After bringing up the panel, Roland somewhat understood how to use this talent, or rather, how powerful this talent was.

First, there's the automatic language conversion. Roland can understand what Puji is saying and can also make Puji understand his own language.

Secondly, it greatly increases favorability. Upon seeing Roland, the creatures immediately submit, perhaps because in their hearts, Roland has already become their king.

That's all for now; Roland hasn't discovered any other effects yet.

"How many magic stones does this magical plant cost?"

After going around in circles, Roland found that this Walking Mushroom was the only mature fungal magical plant, and thanks to its talent, he wanted to buy it.

"Walking Mushroom - 2.5 Magic Stones"

Roland was stunned, and so was Ize. In the dark corner of the cave, there were swarms of walking mushrooms, which were only fit to become food for various monsters, but they were worth this price?

"This is a variant mushroom, so its price is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary mushrooms. According to Lady Lilith's guess, this mushroom is somewhat special, and it seems to have improved in intelligence."

"That's just...plop, you could stomp it to death with one foot!!!"

Ize thought to himself.

Roland remained expressionless, simply waved, and then turned and left without looking back.

Sorry, resources are limited. I'll bring you home when I'm richer. One alien creature is worth half my life. It's true that mortal lives are worthless.

"Pfft!!!"

"Pfft!!!!"

Upon seeing Roland about to leave, the alien creature immediately knelt down, its mushroom cap tilted upwards, and stared blankly at the receding figure.

"Great King! Indeed, the humans of this world are too wicked. To prevent us from reuniting, they have resorted to such vile means."

"Don't worry, I won't give in, and I will strive to survive against the evil wizard!"

Your most loyal warrior, Walking Mushroom!

.......

Roland was unaware of what the alien creature was thinking. He was currently communicating with the staff at Lilith's Plant House, preparing to buy some Walking Mushroom seeds.

"Welcome to visit again next time!"

Roland left in high spirits, having spent ten magic stone fragments to buy twenty Walking Mushroom seeds, which was much cheaper than buying that alien mushroom.
