Wizard: This mushroom is too fierce.

Stepping out of the house, Roland took a deep breath and began to ponder.

The publicity campaign for the Bloodflame Arena should begin. Roland learned about the arena's construction from the minotaur Quinn yesterday, and according to Roland's estimate, it should be initially completed within about two weeks.

The proper way to promote the game would be to find a well-known wizard apprentice in the academy and have him fight against someone, preferably someone with a personal grudge that everyone knows about.

However, this plan was obviously too slow and would cost a lot of magic stones, so Roland immediately rejected it.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Roland chose the most explosive method.

Using a map-wide attack!

He started attacking various trolls directly on the forum, under his own post, generating a huge buzz.

Just as I was about to open the forum to see who was always making fun of me, the sound of someone running suddenly rang in my ears.

Roland looked down and discovered that a group of puji running at full speed had appeared at his doorstep sometime during the night.

They raised their caps, marched in unison, and quickly moved in their respective directions.

"Pfft!"

"One, two, one..." Jin Duoduo's command reached Roland's ears. His expression was strange. After the group of little poops stopped, he lowered his head and asked softly, "What's wrong... you guys?"

"king!"

"Let's go to war..."

"We are a well-trained Puji Legion..."

"We can no longer tolerate that wicked human woman."

"?" Roland's expression was full of surprise and astonishment. What was he talking about?

"Which woman?" Roland picked up the group of puffies and placed them on the table. Jin Duoduo's expression was filled with anger. It pointed to the room where Roland and Olivia had their potions class and said, "Your Majesty... I can always hear the evil woman arguing with you."

"I just heard you groaning in pain, you...."

"You need not be patient, we are the most elite Puji Legion... We are omnipotent, we are invincible!"

"Pfft!" All the mushrooms raised their hands and shouted.

Roland scratched his head, looking at the group of puffers standing in a row, ready to pounce at any moment, and said helplessly, "It's not what you think..."

He discovered a problem: these Puji seemed to be completely illiterate, unable to understand anyone except themselves.

"That human and I were learning knowledge, similar to how the swordsman mushroom Karak trains his body. I was just training my body to improve my strength."

After hearing the king's explanation, the mushrooms' previously proud caps suddenly drooped. They didn't understand; they just felt that they might have done something wrong.

Jin Duoduo's little eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and it asked softly, "Your Majesty, what is learning?"

"Study?" Roland's face turned serious. The problem was serious, the situation was critical, and the preschool education of the Puji was urgent. "Studying means being like me, reading books every day, absorbing knowledge every day, and making yourself better."

Upon hearing the word "reading," Jin Duoduo's little eyes suddenly lit up with a bright, joyful light. It quickly ran to the group of mushrooms and pulled out a tiny mushroom from the very center: "Your Majesty, this brother runs into your study every day to read those square books with strange characters written on them."

"Is it studying?" Jin Duoduo asked excitedly, pointing to the skinny little Puji beside him. "Wang... it's working so hard! Every day before dawn, it goes to your room to look at those things."

Roland lowered his gaze slightly, his eyes landing on the little Puji that Jin Duoduo had pushed out.

This little creature was very thin, only about half the size of my palm. It seemed scared and didn't dare to look up at all.

"Lift your head..." Roland whispered.

Little Puji trembled, struggling to slowly lift its mushroom cap, revealing an excited expression. Its eyes glistened with tears. Was this the king's gaze?

This feeling is so wonderful... I wish it could stay like this forever.

Roland picked it up and held it in his hands, asking curiously, "I heard from Jin Duoduo that you often sneak into my room to read?"

"Why would they do something that seems so strange to Puji?"

"Hmm... Great King!" Little Puji said in a deep voice, "I really want to help you."

"But I am very thin and have no special abilities, so I thought I would improve myself by reading those strange books, just like you."

Roland pondered for a moment. Judging from the current situation, this mushroom seemed to have been affected by its own talent, resulting in a slight mutation.

"You like reading?" Roland asked again. "And what have you learned?"

Little Puji hesitated for a moment, then lowered its head and whispered, "I... Your Majesty... I haven't learned anything special yet."

"I can't understand most of those strange fonts."

"However..." As if to prove herself, Little Puji quickly pointed to the books on Roland's desk and said, "I know some of the words."

"The Wizarding Script!" Roland's pupils contracted slightly. This little poopy is so good at finding things?

Isn't this just a god-level treasure for basic literacy?

"A mushroom that can learn and loves reading!" As Roland defined the little puji, some information suddenly flashed before his eyes.

【Name: Reading Mushroom】

[Race: Fungi]

[Ability: Wizard Linguistics lv1]

A reading mushroom, fluent in wizarding languages. Roland instantly had an idea, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Very good... I have seen all your efforts."

"From now on, you'll be called 'Lance'," Roland said softly, stroking its cap. "I have high hopes for you. Could you teach everyone the writing you've mastered?"

The little mushroom's face showed an expression of disbelief. It had actually been given a name by the king, which was a great honor. There were only two such names in the entire mushroom group, and it was the third.

The reading mushroom suppressed its excitement and nodded vigorously: "Wang... I will definitely try my best to teach everyone those strange characters."

"I will continue to work hard, read more books, learn more knowledge, and share it with other Puji brothers."

The little mushrooms all chimed in, "Pfft..."

"My king...I will also become your pride..."

"Your Majesty, starting tomorrow, I will also learn from Lance and read books every day."

Jin Duoduo's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the Reading Mushroom, a chill ran through it: "Pfft..."

"Oh no... oh no... this is a Culture Mushroom."

"It seems I am about to fall out of favor with the king."

"No!" Jin Duoduo shook its head, its small eyes showing a determined look: "I won't allow this to happen."

"I, Jin Duoduo, am a lucky mushroom, and I must reverse this situation."

"I want to study too!!!"

"I want to study too!!!"

"Pfft!!!"
