Chapter 1423: Chapter 1322: Searching for Mushroom Seeds
Da Fei squatted at the Earth Top Cave Entrance, waiting for the Sky Ship, feeling as if time were dragging on forever.
Though the long night was indeed accompanied by the Angel, Ror seriously blocked Da Fei’s mouth: "Lord, the hearing of the underground strong is extraordinary. If you don’t want unforeseen circumstances, it’s best not to make any noise."
What she said made so much sense, Da Fei was speechless. It must be said, ever since Ror joined the Contract Team, Da Fei’s Angel Team has become increasingly rigid and silent, even the initially refreshing "Sloth Angel" Nerxia has started to blend into the group.
Da Fei knew that this nagging feeling was definitely the instinctive submission of low-level Angels to high-level Angels, and although Ror often smiled at him, her attributes remained serious and disciplined.
Luckily, Da Fei had something to do, which was to continue absorbing the thin Dark Natural Power drifting above the Mushroom Forest. However, Da Fei soon discovered the thinner the energy, the slower the absorption rate, and the conversion rate was also slow, adding to Da Fei’s frustration.
Not working out, something more meaningful needs to be done. Waiting idly has never been my style.
Looking at the pitch-black Mushroom Forest below at the cave’s bottom, Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped. Da Fei decided to enter the Mushroom Forest to see, on one hand, the Dark Natural Power in the forest should be more concentrated for easy absorption, and on the other hand, to see if there’s any gains in the forest.
Yes, gains! Speaking of which, ever since attacking the Rotten World Tree Space where Sate is, Da Fei has initially glimpsed the Mushroom Forest, then also discovered it in the Obsidian Mine, and now here. Busy with no chance to research in the previous times, now with idle frustration, let’s study it properly.
Firstly, the three Mushroom Forests have a common feature: all possess Dark Natural Power, indicating the Mushroom Forest must be an important part of the Dark Ecosystem. Since Da Fei decided to transplant the Bat Barracks for constructing the Dark Ecosystem, there’s no reason to neglect the Mushroom Forest. Moreover, the Holy Vine Central Village has just born soil, it’s perfect for growing some mushrooms.
Ah, yes, growing mushrooms! Searching for mushroom seeds! Now the goal is clearer. Speaking of which, back when I first met Tamilia in the Holy Vine jungle, I found a whole bunch of Holy Vine Seeds. Now, with being a Master-level Treasure Appraiser, along with a plethora of observation skills bonus, finding seeds in this mere Mushroom Forest shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
Thus, Da Fei was no longer bored, starting with enthusiasm to pat every mushroom tree’s cap, searching everywhere in the tree root soil. That’s right, mushroom seeds aren’t seeds, but spores, hidden under the mushroom cap’s small particles. However, this is common knowledge in reality, whereas in the game, it’s unknown, so Da Fei didn’t overlook the soil either.
Ror couldn’t help but ask: "Lord Warrior, what are you doing?"
Hahaha! You finally took the initiative to chat with me! Da Fei excitedly said: "Looking for mushroom seeds, I’m planning to build a Mushroom Forest in the Holy Vine Center Village."
Ror uttered oh: "I see, the Mushroom Forest should match quite well with the Illusion Realm in the Holy Vine Center Village."
Da Fei was suddenly delighted: "Quite compatible? What makes you say that?"
Ror earnestly said: "Do you know the story of Alice in Wonderland? The Wonderland Alice wandered is full of colorful Mushroom Forest."
Oh oh oh oh yeah!!! Randomly doing something can connect to literary classics! Da Fei joyfully said: "That’s right, Alice’s Wonderland should be the Dream Space, and the Wine God Space I’ve cultivated is essentially the same existence, they’re both Illusion Realms! So, cultivating a Mushroom Forest not only can enhance the Dark Natural Power ecosystem but also adds to the Wine God Space?"
Ror nodded: "Perhaps, but the Mushroom Forest is a very special plant community, the difficulty in successful cultivation must be high, I don’t understand this aspect. However, if Lord Warrior is fortunate enough to meet Alice, she might be a significant help."
Alice!? There’s really such a character in the game!? Da Fei was shocked, feeling his heart skip a beat: "Who is Alice?"
Ror replied faintly: "An Angel incarnated as a Mortal, her ability is dreams, much like Gabriel. The story of Alice in Wonderland is actually the tale of this Angel eliminating Nightmare Demons in the Nightmare Space."
—System Prompt: You have obtained information about Alice.
Da Fei’s jaw dropped to the ground! This game has so much depth! Da Fei ecstatically said: "Then how do I find Alice?"
Ror gestured with a hand: "I don’t know, regarding her, all I know is what I just mentioned."
Damn! You led me in the right direction, then halfway directly threw a ’don’t know’, pushing me off the ship, you’re so irresponsible!
Da Fei hurriedly asked Anvil and Nerxia: "How much do you two know?"
Anvil uttered oh: "I just found out too."
Nerxia dryly coughed: "Well, I think if you find this Alice, perhaps there can be another breakthrough in the Nightmare Space in Divine Punishment City."
Anvil unhappily said: "You answered unrelated to the question, meaning you don’t know!"
Nerxia snorted: "At least I know her purpose!"
Ror frowned: "Quiet!"
The two immediately shut their mouths.
Is this a new Master of Harem? Da Fei propped up his jaw, shaking his head in silent sigh; it seems resolving the matter of Alice still relies on the players themselves. Speaking of which, Nerxia is also right, if there’s Alice, then maybe I can find the Poker Prince’s soul in the Nightmare Space at Divine Punishment City.
By the way, there’s still Hilda I haven’t asked yet? Then there’s only waiting for the Sky Ship to return. Anyway, gathering seeds is the priority.
Minute by minute, Da Fei’s search in the Mushroom Forest yielded no result! Da Fei became increasingly uneasy. Could it be that there are no seeds in the Mushroom Forest? Impossible! Even the Holy Vine, that high-end place where Little Ming stumbled upon the Chimera Forest, could find seeds effortlessly, how could mere mushrooms not have them? Can’t even I, a Master-level Treasure Appraiser, find them?
Speaking of which, mushrooms naturally don’t have seeds but spores, and spore particles are far smaller than typical seeds, maybe even Master-level can’t find them?
Then it’s time for the God-level Luck treasure-hunting big move! My last Luck Skill was used when training Elite Evil Demon at 5 PM the previous day, now it’s more than a day later, I’ve wasted one! Then there’s nothing to say, unleashing the move!
With a rainbow light rising, Da Fei stared at the map radar without blinking!
A flash of golden light!
—System Prompt: Your Master-level Treasure Appraiser discovered...
Whoa! Seeds are everywhere? Unable to finish reading the system prompt, in utter shock Da Fei quickly looked up, seeing the spores glimmering like stars in the sky!
Found it! They’re all floating in the sky! Turns out the seeds aren’t underground nor on the trees but in the sky, what a damn setting!
At this moment, Ror dashed forward, her Star-Plucking Hand swung at the bright points in the air!
—System Prompt: Your Contract Angel Ror successfully collected a "Mutant Mushroom Tree Spore", you obtained Master-level Treasure Appraiser information!
—Mutant Mushroom Tree Spore: Rare seed, can be planted to grow edible mushrooms in dark and humid locations, only able to mutate into a Mushroom Tree in special environments.
Oh yes! Really found it! Da Fei ecstatically said: "Hurry, let’s all gather the seeds!"
"Got it!"
In the next moment, Ror led Anvil, Nerxia, and dashed forth.
—System Prompt: Your 10 Blazing Angel Corps, 15 Shadow Blood Bat Force lack production skills, unable to gather seeds.
Damn! A mere seed can cause me frustration? Then there’s no choice, only to rely on Ror and the others to work hard!
For a time, Ror and the trio flew back and forth through the sky, plucking stars with their nimble hands, Da Fei’s system information also refreshed line by line.
Just as Da Fei counted the 26th, the starlike bright points in the sky vanished, and the Lucky Treasure Appraiser time ended.
Damn!
Ror could only return to the ground, shaking her head and sighing: "Can’t find anymore, can only collect this little amount."
Da Fei let out a long sigh. Indeed, just like last time searching for God-level at the Dragon Tomb, only the treasures discovered by treasure appraisal are treasures, without discovery, even if digging three feet, moving all the earth and crystal blocks, they’re not treasures. So once my luck time ends, unable to appraise the spores in the sky, it’s impossible to gather them.
Seems only one solution left, wait for Tamilia to return, then wait another day’s cooldown of Lucky Hand, when the thousands of Evil Demon Flower Demons Vine Demons can be unleashed for gathering.
