Lin Jun could run back to the sixth floor along the network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was just an insurance escape method; if it really reached the point where his main body was being chased by humans, the situation could be said to be very bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving wasn't rushed; after all, the humans weren't rushing down either, but had first issued a public quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lin Jun couldn't directly observe the situation inside the guild, he could obtain quite a bit of information from the idle chatter of adventurers after drinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbwind Town, Rotten Willow Tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was filled with the smell of cheap alcohol, stew, and sweat, as noisy as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in today’s noise, there was a hint of unusual hesitation and low-voiced discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think about the guild’s latest quest?\" Horn turned the empty wine glass in his hand and asked his teammates, who had already formed a fixed party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Hammer, a dwarf shield warrior with graying beard, rich experience, but covered in scars, sipped his cup of murky ale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, he shook his head, his gray beard trembling: \"Here we go again; why is it that some people always can't forget about that group of Turret Puji?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ranger Aimei played with a worn gold coin, letting it roll nimbly between her fingers, making a slight clinking sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reward is thick enough,\" she said concisely, her voice without much fluctuation, but her eyes shining with shrewd light, \"Silver-rank has a full thirty gold coins as a base, which is worth how many dungeon runs. And they are recruiting long-range professionals; I heard that this time there will be church warriors and other experts at the front, so those who take the quest only need to provide long-range support from the safe rear, which is no different from earning money for nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimei suddenly thought of something and asked the priest in the team: \"Noah, aren't you also from the church? Do you know any special information?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah looked troubled and said: \"I’m only considered a novice priest in the church; what could I know? How many official priests would come out to be adventurers...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the ranger looking eager to try, Horn couldn't help but remind her: \"Aimei, have you forgotten about the Iron Heart team? Four gold-rank, twenty silver-rank, all wiped out just to crusade against one big black mushroom. And this guild quest is to clear the entire fifth floor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Hammer on the side also nodded heavily, put down his wine glass, and his fingers tapped unconsciously on the table covered with knife marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not just Iron Heart,\" his voice pressed lower, carrying a kind of exhaustion and vigilance that only comes from having experienced too much death, \"I don't know how many experts have fallen under the feet of Turret Puji! You’ve been in Dumbwind Town for so long; have you heard of anyone bringing back news about the mushroom forest or the swamp? No news is the clearest news!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn nodded in agreement: \"In the end, the Turret Puji are staying there just fine; as long as you don't provoke them, there won't be any danger. Why must you crusade against them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Horn, the Turret Puji were not only not a danger, but the fat-house lottery was an indispensable experience item for him every time he entered the dungeon. He didn't approve of the guild eliminating the Turret Puji from the bottom of his heart; if the Turret Puji were eliminated, wouldn't the magical beast corpses become worthless again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was just an ordinary adventurer, his words were of little weight, and all he could do was not participate. \"Yeah, why must we crusade against the Turret Puji?\" Noah looked at the copper-rank adventurer eating fluorescent mushroom porridge at the next table, his face full of confusion, \"After eliminating the Turret Puji, the fungal carpet and mushrooms will also have to be eliminated, right? Doesn't that mean the cheap mushroom porridge will also be gone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Hammer snorted: \"The lords above don't care if what we adventurers eat is cheap or not! Even the adventurers themselves don't care; the guild issues a quest, the gold coins clink, and this is the greatest 'should' and 'should not'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Hammer looked at Aimei meaningfully at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimei tucked the gold coin into her bosom and patted her leather armor: \"That’s right, gold coins are the biggest reason. Thirty gold coins are enough for me to be carefree for a few years; I’m going to sign up. As for the risk? Don't adventurers eat this bowl of risk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After standing up, she also looked at Noah: \"Both of them are melee, they don't have the qualifications to earn this money, are you coming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn and Old Hammer were drinking silently at this time, not speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were teammates, everyone was free; adventurers were only responsible for their own choices, and others shouldn't interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah looked around in a dilemma, and finally shook his head and refused; although she also wanted that money, the previous examples had scared her a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimei sighed with some disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Old Hammer suddenly said: \"If you want to go, just go; don't worry about us finding someone to replace your position. In fact, before this storm passes, I plan to rest for a while; what do you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn shrugged indifferently; resting for a period of time wasn't impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah also nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the ranger left, Noah subconsciously reached out and gently held her wrist, whispering the usual blessing: \"Aimei, may the radiance of Ixion protect you on this trip.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry!\" A bright smile bloomed on her face, her voice carrying the usual vitality, \"When I come back, I’ll treat you to the honey-glazed catfish belly newly added to the tavern! Plenty for everyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after Aimei’s figure disappeared behind the tavern’s wooden door, accompanied by the creaking of the door hinge, Vera brought Feiling and Feiyin and pushed the door in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn saw them and greeted: \"Yo, Vera, where have you been for a while?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adventurers who had been in Dumbwind Town for a long time knew each other more or less, and most were friendships like this where they would greet each other when they met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera just wanted to say that she had taken Feiling to the city to fix her teeth, when she felt her calf being kicked hard by someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only vaguely say: \"Went to the city to handle some things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horn nodded knowingly and tactfully didn't ask any more questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise in the tavern wrapped around them again, and without chatting for a few idle words, the topic was attracted like a magnet, circling back to that \"latest quest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vera,\" Horn leaned forward slightly, \"that 'big order' the guild just posted, you saw it, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, took a glance.\" Vera picked up the wine the tiger-man waiter had just placed, picked off a few hairs, and her tone was flat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you say? Do you have any thoughts? Are Feiling and Feiyin qualified?\" Horn asked tentatively, his eyes sweeping over the twins sitting quietly behind Vera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Vera immediately waved her hands vigorously, a look of \"thanks but no thanks\" appearing on her face, even carrying a bit of lingering fear: \"Don't even mention it! Last time with Iron Heart, we were almost dragged in and finished! This time? We’re afraid to avoid it in time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a sip of wine, her tone carrying annoyance, \"If I had known there would be such trouble, we would have stayed in the city for a few more days!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 165 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1595,"2026-06-17T15:10:41.637Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","5e69698ab92059f66e251690f160657a8f1a70b19d9a5cd9e655f3ecf8313828","this-dungeon-has-sprouted-mushrooms-chapter-164","this-dungeon-has-sprouted-mushrooms-chapter-162",165,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-dungeon-has-sprouted-mushrooms-cover.jpg"]
