Professor Xie, isn't this a case of forcing customers to buy products that don't match the

The brothers handed the [Ultimate Thunder Bomb] to Shang Song and solemnly patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, it's all up to you."

Holding the bomb, Shang Song's feelings were complicated: "...If I run up to the Giant Mushroom King and look at its face, I might not be able to bring myself to do it."

Second child: "It's a mushroom! It doesn't have a face!"

Shang Song: "It does! And it's really cute!!!"

The leader said, "But it's the BOSS, and we're the players. It's only natural for players to fight the BOSS."

Shang Song: "But it never attacks me, it even heals me! Now, asking me to take a bomb and blow it up, from a moral standpoint, I don't think that's right."

Second brother: "You're trying to reason with a mushroom?"

Shang Song: "It's a different kind of mushroom!"

Second Brother: "You're finished, Shang Xiaosong. You've developed feelings for this mushroom. You've betrayed Professor Xie."

Shang Song: "I didn't!"

Second son: "You do!"

Shang Song: "...Do I really have to go?"

Second son: "Do you have a better idea?"

Shang Song remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

He could only don the Light Warrior's armor, clutch the ultimate bomb, and turn to walk towards the Great Mushroom King.

The brothers followed far behind, ready to provide support at any time.

The giant mushroom king is still in its mushroom nest.

It has returned to its super-large, super-large, super-large appearance.

The morning light shines on its round cap, making the small white dots glow softly, with a golden halo around the edge, making the whole mushroom look exceptionally gentle and lovely.

Seeing that only Shang Song was coming, it did not launch an attack.

As the wind blew, stardust fluttered from the umbrella, scattering tiny specks of light that drifted down onto Shang Song's shoulder.

The boss told him to carry the bomb to the Giant Mushroom King.

Then, place the bomb at the feet of the Giant Mushroom King, activate the shield, activate the Warrior of Light, and run back.

The boss and his team will detonate this ultimate bomb remotely from a safe distance.

The bosses also used their remaining star coins to buy him several bottles of high-level potions and a remote communication device, just in case.

Shang Song held the ultimate thunderbolt bomb and looked at the giant mushroom king that was smiling at him from afar.

Its pale orange-red cap, round and plump, with tiny white dots and a golden halo, is the kind of mushroom you only see in fairy tales.

It was still smiling, but the expression on its face changed from ๑•‿•๑ to ๑ˊᗜˋ๑ as Shang Song approached step by step.

It was as if they were cheering for his arrival.

As Shang Song watched its ever-changing smiling face, he walked to a spot fifty meters away from the Great Mushroom King, but suddenly he couldn't take another step.

He knew he should walk over, plant the bomb, run back, and watch the mushroom explode into pieces.

This is everyone's only chance to pass the level.

But last night, this mushroom gave him wild fruit and stardust.

It never hurt him.

It might not even know what the bomb it was holding was.

It was just waiting for him to come over.

The second brother's voice came through the newly put-on headphones: "Shang Xiaosong! What are you daydreaming about!"

Shang Song did not answer.

He remained silent for a long time, then took several deep breaths before slowly taking a few more steps forward.

Forty meters.

Twenty meters.

ten meters.

five meters.

one meter.

The boss's voice tightened in the earpiece: "Just stay there! Plant the bomb quickly!"

Under the gentle gaze of the Great Mushroom King, Shang Song slowly lowered the bomb.

The speed of the Warrior of Light was faster than he had imagined.

The wind whistled in his ears, and he kept turning around as the giant mushroom king's enormous body gradually shrank.

He shouldn't have turned back.

He should just keep running.

Run as far as possible.

This was part of their plan.

Plant the bomb, run, and then watch the giant mushroom king be blown to pieces.

Cleared customs.

It's all over.

Shang Song was in a state of utter confusion and unconsciously rushed towards the direction where his brothers were hiding.

Then, he heard a sound behind him—a beep.

He subconsciously glanced back again.

It's that ultimate bomb, counting down.

Countdown: 10.

The Great Mushroom King was still watching him, still smiling at him.

The umbrella canopy swayed slightly.

He asked, "You detonated the bomb?!"

The boss's voice came through the earpiece: "You've already run out of blast distance."

Shang Song: "But it's still there!"

Third brother: "Fourth brother, this is the one we're going to blow up!"

That's what we need to blow up.

Who is it?

The Great Mushroom King.

But who is the Great Mushroom King?

Shang Song's pupils suddenly dilated, and the blotting paper ripped from the top of his head all the way to his fingertips.

He suddenly turned around.

The Great Mushroom King was still looking at him gently, his expression still that adorable ๑•‿•๑.

Countdown: 5.

He was still smiling at him.

How can he still smile at him now?

This big piece of wood has turned into a mushroom, but it's still so wooden.

He came over with a bomb and blew himself up.

It won't run away.

It just stood quietly in that mushroom nest, waiting to be blown to pieces.

Countdown: 3.

He swore.

Then he resolutely turned around and charged back towards the Great Mushroom King.

The headphones came through the brothers' urgent and angry shouts:

"Shang Xiaosong, what are you doing?!"

Shang Song did not answer.

The wind was still whistling in my ears, and my tears were blown behind me.

Countdown: 2.

He rushed back to the Great Mushroom King.

When the Giant Mushroom King saw him running back, he seemed a little confused and tilted his mushroom head slightly.

Countdown: 1.

Shang Song had no time to brake, no time to think, and no time to do anything.

He could only spread his arms and use all his strength to lunge towards the giant mushroom.

He hugged its thick pole tightly, shielding it with his body.

It's as if you're using your own body to shield it from the impending harm.

The headphones were playing my brothers' voices in a different tone:

"Fourth brother! No!"

"Ode to Shang!"

"Fourth brother!!!"

Countdown: 0.

The bomb exploded.

Flames and shockwaves surged forth, leveling the entire mushroom nest in an instant with overwhelming force.

At the edge of the forest, the three brothers were knocked to the ground by the shockwave.

The second brother was the first to get up, staring intently at the thick smoke billowing from the explosion's epicenter, his eyes bloodshot: "Shang Song!!!"

No one answered.

The only sounds were the crackling of the flames and the rustling of billowing smoke.

The second brother took a step forward, but the eldest brother grabbed him, saying, "You can't save him even if you go in now!"

The second brother shook off his hand, "That's Shang Xiaosong!!!"

The third brother collapsed to the ground, staring at the cloud of smoke and dust, his lips trembling, tears welling in his eyes, unable to utter a single word.

A gust of wind blew by, and dust billowed up.

The three brothers were all stunned.

Deep within the smoke and dust, there is light.

It was a golden light, gradually brightening, piercing through the thick smoke, becoming clearer and brighter.

It was an enormous golden shield, shimmering with golden light, keeping all the flames and smoke out.

That was Shang Song's shield.

At the center of the shield are the Giant Mushroom King and Shang Song.

With his back to them, Shang Song spread his arms and used his body to block the Great Mushroom King.

The second child's mouth dropped open: "Shang Xiaosong used a shield to cover the Giant Mushroom King too?!"

The leader stared at the giant golden shield without saying a word.

Then he saw that the part of the mushroom that was being held suddenly began to glow.

The light patterns spread rapidly upwards from the stem where Shang Song embraced the giant mushroom, until they climbed up the cap.

The moment the light patterns climbed onto the canopy, the entire canopy trembled. Then, stardust on the canopy rose up in a flurry, swirling around the Great Mushroom King and Shang Song in the air.

Golden light swirled and shimmered continuously.

Right here amidst this golden brilliance.

The enormous mushroom that blotted out the sky gradually blurred in shape. Its beautiful orange-red cap slowly dissipated into starlight, and its white stem gradually shrank and changed, eventually solidifying into the outline of a person.

Amidst the flickering starlight of the starry rain, Shang Song opened his eyes.

He looked up and saw a face that was all too familiar.

He saw Xie Jing suspended in mid-air, with black hair and white clothes, his long eyebrows slightly furrowed, his eyes closed as if he were asleep, his body leaning forward, his clothes fluttering, slowly descending.

Shang Song unconsciously took a step forward and caught the person steadily with his outstretched arms.

Xie Jing slowly leaned into Shang Song's arms.

In an instant, Shang Song almost immediately pulled his arms together and hugged the person tightly.

The golden starlight continued to fall intermittently.

far away.

The second brother looked at the two people amidst the starlight rain, his voice trembling: "...How come this mushroom spirit looks exactly like Professor Xie?"

The eldest brother pushed up his glasses. "Is it possible that he is Professor Xie?"

Third brother: "...So, we've been harassing Shang Xiaosong's husband these past few days?"

Boss: "To be precise, it's been these past few days that we've been under constant attack from Shang Xiaosong."

The second brother roared to the heavens, "Can we get a refund for this game?!"

The system message reads: "Once the recharge is credited to your account, it is non-refundable. Thank you for your understanding and support."

Second son: "...I didn't ask you!!!"

The system ignored the second child and continued broadcasting:

【倒计时：30、29……20、19……10、9……3、2、1。】

In the last second, Shang Song used all his strength to hug the person in his arms tightly.

The world vanished in a golden light.

When Shang Song opened his eyes again, he saw the old-fashioned wooden beam roof of Xie Jing's ancestral home.

Morning light streamed in through the carved windows, casting hazy beams of light that swayed in the air, with tiny dust particles fluttering like butterflies within them.

He stared blankly at the butterfly in the light for a long while before slowly turning his head and seeing the person beside him.

Xie Jing lay on his side next to him, sharing the same thick quilt, with one hand on his waist.

The morning light fell on Xie Jing's face, revealing his delicate features, fair skin, and slightly pursed lips, his breathing light and even.

Shang Song couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his face.

Xie Jing's eyelashes trembled, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

He saw Shang Song staring at him, a slight smile playing on his lips, his voice hoarse from just waking up: "Awake?"

Shang Song looked at him and blinked: "I dreamt about you. You turned into a giant mushroom."

Xie Jing: "...?"

Shang Song: "A really, really big mushroom, and it can even cast magic spells."

Xie Jing: "...And then?"

Shang Song: "I hugged you, and you turned back to normal."

Xie Jing gently pulled the arm around Shang Song's waist closer to him, "...Don't eat mushrooms from the mountains anymore."

Shang Song buried her face in his chest and mumbled, "Okay, I won't eat anymore."

"And don't turn into a giant mushroom anymore."

"...Okay, I won't turn into a mushroom anymore."

The Super Mushroom King is finished.
