Chapter 113: 121 Hahahaha

"My lord! You can't go in, my lord!"

Two adventurers stood in front of Sorarin and a group of church warriors, and behind the adventurers was the gorgeous fluorescent mushroom forest.

They had accepted the employment to be responsible for leading the way for these church personnel, but the mission didn't say the destination was to restart life!

Breaking into the mushroom forest on the fifth floor?

Are you kidding? They had never heard of anyone coming out after going in!

The beautiful mushroom forest in their eyes was no different from the death god’s old home.

If you want to die, just find a rope; why do you have to take the two of us?

"My lord, if you must go in, then the two of us have to give up this commission here."

Seeing the adventurers so resistant, Maine turned to look at Sorarin, "What should we do?"

"Listen to them." Sorarin, whose right eye was glowing with a silver arc, didn't object.

Seeing that the church personnel didn't insist on going in, the two adventurers breathed a sigh of relief.

And Maine looked at Sorarin strangely, not expecting her to agree so readily, which was somewhat different from the style of conduct he had in his impression.

【Vision of Truth】

The world was cut into countless color blocks on the retina; this was an ability that distinguished the traces of all things.

The black of undead creatures like vampires, the light yellow or milky white of humans, the light green of elves, the brown of dwarves, various monsters also had their own colors...

Although there would be differences between individuals, and there were some strange life forms that had their own unique colors.

But Sorarin had never seen a color like the one she saw after entering the dungeon—Chaos.

In the viscous veins of the fungal carpet, countless colors surged disorderly, blending into these unusual color spots.

She didn't know what this color represented, but the feeling it gave her was very oppressive.

What shocked her even more was that from entering the dungeon all the way to here, all the fungal threads and Puji were the same "Chaos" under her 【Vision of Truth】.

Generally speaking, even for the same kind of monster, there were subtle differences between different individuals, rather than such a unified color.

She didn't know if the color "Chaos" itself was like this, or if all the mushrooms in the entire dungeon were one individual?

From the information collected, it was more likely the latter.

Entering the dungeon felt like entering the belly of some giant beast in her perception; to say she wasn't palpitating would be a lie.

It was just that it was her duty, and she had summoned other teams but had no news, so she had to come down in person to confirm the demon’s trail.

So when the two adventurers persuaded her not to enter the mushroom forest that was all chaotic color in her eyes, she agreed to go down the slope.

"Continue to the next floor to see." Sorarin said expressionlessly.

She no longer expected to find that demon here. After finishing this trip, she would write a report about the Amethyst Dungeon to the bishop.

——

Lin Jun looked with satisfaction at the church warriors being led by the adventurers to bypass the mushroom forest and the swamp area, completely unaware that this team captain named Sorarin had already planned to report him.

External affairs had come to an end; it was time to deal with internal affairs.

That meant you—Huang Pishu!

In the mushroom forest, the Puji threw the Huang Pishu to the ground fiercely. Around it were Xiao Hei, who had just been woken up and looked unhappy, and Norris, who had been released from the Shi Laimu prison for a day off because he had to be used for translation.

[Boss, I was very well-behaved in the secret room. What are you doing bringing me out?]

The Grimoire, which had already realized something, tried hard to make itself look well-behaved, but Lin Jun knew what kind of goods it was; pretending to be well-behaved was useless.

Facing the Huang Pishu, Lin Jun exploded a string of data:

"Two vampire attacks, various Puji losses of 267, fungal carpet destruction area exceeding one-quarter of the fifth floor, seven mushroom trees collapsed.

And in order to contain you, four elite Puji and thirty ordinary Puji have to be spent to watch over you at any time. Not to mention that this time it also attracted people from the Light Church.

I have a question now: would it be more cost-effective to just lay you off?"

Norris, kneeling in front of the Huang Pishu, honestly repeated the boss’s words. He would have to recite the words the Huang Pishu typed in his brain to the boss later.

The boss said that after he was done, he could have a day off. He wanted to take it all to sleep; the Shi Laimu splitting every two hours was really too tormenting...

[That... may I ask what laying off is?]

The Puji’s tentacle swiped under the mushroom cap, and the Huang Pishu understood instantly.

[Boss, I am also a loyal member of the mushroom garden!]

[No need to watch over me, just like before, just find a stone pier Puji and put me in it]

[I like the mushroom garden so much; whoever dares to steal me, I will charm them and run back to the mushroom forest!]

[Why lay me off?]

It was just that the Huang Pishu didn't understand what emoticons were, otherwise, it estimated that it would have used them to sell cuteness now.

Just looking at these words, Norris was wondering if the boss was a bit heartless?

"How about this, I’ll give you a chance. Tell me what value you have and what you can bring to the mushroom garden?"

[?]

What value?

As a Grimoire, people either craved it or feared it. When had they ever considered this?

Seeing that the Huang Pishu couldn't squeeze out a fart for a long time, the Puji waved its tentacles and called Xiao Hei over.

[I, I can help you with early warning! I can discover outsiders from very far away!]

"How far?"

[I can sense it even from inside the stairs here!]

That was about one-third of the size of the fifth floor, indeed quite far, at least much further than the adventurers’ detection spell.

But—

"Then that means it’s useless..."

[???]

Xiao Hei’s claws had already touched it.

[I, I can also help people improve their attributes!]

"Improve a few times and go crazy?"

[I can help you control others!]

Lin Jun thought about his 【Fusion Parasitism】 skill and let Xiao Hei hold the Huang Pishu...

Norris, who was responsible for translation, was already trembling. Was he sympathizing with a terrible evil book in his heart just now?

And the boss seemed to... disdain these abilities?

[No, I have so many functions, why is it not good!?]

"I feel like none of them are easy to use. It wouldn't have been impossible to leave you to gather dust, but now you keep bringing trouble, so I can only say goodbye."

[Can... can’t you just throw me out?]

"Oh? And then let you spill everything about the mushroom garden?"

[The Dragon-Person can only tear my pages, they can't tear the whole book! Doing this has no meaning other than letting me suffer in vain!]

"Try it, anyway, trying doesn't cost money, and it’s not me who’s in pain. Xiao Hei—"

Feeling the dragon scales scraping on the pages, the Huang Pishu suddenly laughed desperately.

[Hahahaha]

Rip—

A page was torn off by Xiao Hei and soon vanished into ashes.

[Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!]

[You ask me why I’m laughing!]

Rip—

[Ah ah ah ah ah woo woo woo woo woo]

[Stop, stop, I’ll say it myself]

Lin Jun then let Xiao Hei pause to see what last words this guy had.

[The Amethyst Dungeon is in danger]

Seeing Xiao Hei about to touch it again, the Huang Pishu hurriedly spilled the second half of the sentence.

[Has the dungeon already appeared with long-term rifts?]

[This is a sign of danger. If you don't do something, your mushroom garden will be in danger!]

Oh?

Really have something?

Lin Jun, who originally didn't expect to have any gains, became interested. He hadn't mentioned the Shi Laimu and the rift to the Huang Pishu, unless its perception was even greater than what it said at the beginning, allowing it to sense the location of the sixth-floor rift across two levels.

The Puji took the Huang Pishu from Xiao Hei’s obedient hands and put it back on the ground.

"Continue, I’m listening."
