Starting with Growing Mushrooms
Chapter 55 - 52: A New Three-Choice Talent
CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 52: A NEW THREE-CHOICE TALENT
Liu Jun pondered for a moment and decided to follow this line of development.
"Forget it, let it be."
"Work for me, there will naturally be remuneration. I’m not one of those unscrupulous capitalists."
"Just fabricate some history so he can find this treasure."
"It also conveniently solidifies my last week’s civilization as being Jurassic."
Just a mere seed.
Furthermore, he clearly wants to go against those companies and intends to ally with the hidden Angel King.
"In the past, there was a Prophet."
"Now, perhaps there can still be a Prophet."
"They come from the past, naturally nostalgic for the past, and are bound to establish a new Cangwu Tree base."
"And I, as the Prophet, might appear occasionally, mysterious and ancient, hinting for them to help me earn some resources."
This era is too transparent.
Earning money on my own is difficult, but if they establish a secret force, I will have money.
Even...
I hold a sandbox in my hand; maybe the outside world could become my sandbox world too?
When I have enough ability, a big pot could directly cover and swallow this world, turning it into my Mushroom Soup...
By then, I’d truly be a Creator God, wouldn’t I?
Of course, this is just a distant dream.
Without dreams, what’s the difference with a mind breakdown?
Furthermore, to take a step back...
Giving them the seed means they will only hibernate and secretly develop.
Just building some small forces.
With the speed they develop in reality, it’s impossible to be as fast as my Mushroom Soup sandbox world!
He didn’t bother caring about these things, doing it as a casual act.
"Consider it a small sponsorship."
Liu Jun’s thoughts returned to the main business at hand.
...
Mushroom Number One.
This is a chimney-shaped red mushroom.
[Firelight Illuminating the Sky]: Slightly absorbs thermal energy, feeding on heat.
Initially, people merely noted longer winters and dropping temperatures worldwide; experts on TV attributed it to the return of a mini ice age.
Until one day, people found the Earth’s core cooling, leading all humanity to start drilling into the Earth to save the planet.
In the Earth’s center, they found you who drained dry the core.
And you, too, became the new planetary core.
...
Mushroom Number Two.
This is a mushroom with a gelatinous jelly shape, its texture similar to slime.
[Sea and River Clear]: Slightly increases liquid affinity and has some control over water flow.
People found city water pipes blocked, taps full of jelly-like material.
Later, they horrifyingly discovered it was a water-absorbing mushroom that dominated the city’s entire pipeline.
But as they reacted, pools and rivers all turned to jelly.
Until that day, people horrifyingly found the entire ocean had become a giant liquid mushroom.
Countless fish were frozen within you.
People began to panic.
The world began to be destroyed by you.
...
The third mushroom.
[Yellow Bell and Earthenware Pot]: Slightly possesses the power to decompose metal.
People discovered a special mushroom in the junkyard that could degrade metal waste.
Thus, bio-metallurgy technology flourished.
That day, people used this power to remodel metal, reconstruct bodies, ultimately creating a new mechanical Saint Body, starting the cultivation of mechanical Martial Dao, stepping into a brand new civilization era!
...
Liu Jun raised his eyebrows.
Absurd.
So damn absurd.
But he had gotten used to it.
It’s worth mentioning that [Firelight Illuminating the Sky] is somewhat similar to the previous [With Light and Dust].
One absorbs light, the other absorbs heat, with slightly different focuses.
If combined...
They might just be the same pattern as the neighboring Wisdom Series.
However, for Liu Jun, whether it’s [Firelight Illuminating the Sky] or [Sea and River Clear], they both tend towards being destructive and terrifying abilities.
If developed, they could destroy human civilization.
Rehe Heavy Industry outside, and even major corporate powers, would be made to beg!
Turning on a faucet, all sticky mushroom jelly.
Just the thought is terrifying.
The precondition is this plague spreading instead of being immediately sealed, controlled, and eradicated in a city.
Only the third one, [Yellow Bell and Earthenware Pot]’s introduction, somewhat fits his benevolent character.
Mushrooms that can aid human development?
This is the anomaly in this Mushroom Soup.
Still picking?
Moreover, what era is it, who still flies swords?
With no artillery flying everywhere, drone armies, who can become a Confucian Master?
Naturally, this era’s metal instruments have a significant position, and what he holds fits quite well with them.
With this in mind, he hesitated no more.
He began to merge into [Yellow Bell and Earthenware Pot], and in the next moment, his mushroom body liquefied again, revealing a skeleton.
The skeleton surprisingly began to show strands of metal.
Soon after, he felt a desire in his body to devour metal, to replenish himself.
He came to the living room, took out several metal cans from the refrigerator, and swallowed them, cans included.
The metallic craving was slightly alleviated.
He then ran to the kitchen and ate all the utensils before he relaxed.
"Refreshing! Delicious! My teeth will be better from now on!"
He took a deep breath.
Being very satisfied with himself becoming less human-like.
Feeling himself growing stronger bit by bit, watching the mythological civilization in the Mushroom Soup progress bit by bit, silently farming, easing his firepower insufficiency fear!
He went online and reordered a batch of utensils; ten minutes later, a drone hovered outside the living room window.
Liu Jun put the new utensils back in the kitchen and then returned to the room.
[Name: Liu Jun]
[Race: Fungus]
[Realm: Thunder Realm Level 5 Telekinesis Master]
[Talents: Low Consumption, Low Symptoms, Vanish, Longevity and Vision, Yellow Bell and Earthenware Pot.]
[Mushroom Soup: Low Wisdom, Middle Wisdom, High Wisdom, With Light and Dust, Clear Day and Fresh Wind, Clear Moon Shining Spirit, Deep Love is not Long-lived, Star Rushing Lightning, Firelight Illuminating the Sky, Sea and River Clear]
...
Unknowingly, there are quite a few mushrooms in the Mushroom Soup.
"The life limit has been raised, but cultivation has passively increased by two levels."
"However, that messy feeling is getting stronger and stronger; the great power within my body conflicts and restricts each other, unable to be released, with considerable friction."
I feel like a forcibly assembled amalgamation; if I don’t organize this power, I’ll eventually become an indescribable monster.
Even Liu Jun had a feeling.
Just the immense potential within these talents alone is enough for him to directly step into the legendary fourth-tier Electric Realm.
Unfortunately.
He simply did not know how to use it.
"Still need to establish a cultivation method."
He sighed, gazing deeply into the Mushroom Soup: "Once chosen, the two Divine Objects will begin to descend."
"As long as I’m careful this time, it shouldn’t trigger a Wisdom Disaster-like catastrophic event."
"After all, these new fire and water elements are no different from the previous wind and light, all belonging to the relatively mild category."
Liu Jun immediately felt a sense of relief.
Having just experienced a Wisdom Disaster, now it seemed he could relax and develop for a while.
However, quite evidently, his calculations were a bit off.
This time, the Divine Objects brought unforeseen changes to the Xiangtuo Era.
