Chapter Seventy-Three, Catching the Mushroom Beast
"There are so many people." Ying couldn't help but sigh
"There are people and mushrooms everywhere."
"And the Seven Saints Summon!" Paimon added.
"Yes, there are also Seven Holy Calls." Ying said, playing with the Orb of Will
"Let's go, let's go catch mushrooms in the wild."
"What kind of mushroom is Ying going to catch?" Paimon asked curiously
"Are those who can fly? Or are those who will run? Or maybe it's the little ones. "The ones that can fly are winged fungi, and the ones that can run are terrestrial fungi, and there are more types and numbers of little ones, and there are all kinds of mushrooms.
"Catch a planktonic mushroom, after all, the planktonic mushroom is really cute, and think about what kind of nickname should be given to the planktonic mushroom." Ying began to meditate on herself.
While they were thinking about the name, they had already caught a planktonic mushroom. Speaking of which, the floating water mushroom beast was the first kind of mushroom beast they encountered, and the place where they first met was not Sumeru, where there were many mushroom beasts, but the underground of the stratalayer abyss with a very harsh environment.
At that time, Ying was attracted to these little guys, after all, it is really rare to see monsters that are stupid enough to use their own attacks to put themselves in.
So I was very impressed. However, the little guy used to be a monster no matter how he said it, so he could only watch it from a distance, but now, under the development of science and technology, someone can tame it, which really surprised Yingda.
The first time Ying got the Orb of Will, she had already thought that the first mushroom she should catch was this floating mushroom.
As they prepare to catch the second mushroom, Ying and Paimon also meet a mysterious astrologer named Laiira, who is a student at the Rido Brahma Academy, one of the six academies of Sumeru.
Due to her lack of physical strength, she desperately needed a helper to help her complete a series of heavy physical tasks such as carrying astrological equipment and carrying luggage.
So she chose a planktonic mushroom as her companion. Although the wild planktonic mushroom doesn't actually have much load capacity, after being carefully raised by Laiira, this guy called the Spinning Beast is much larger than his wild compatriots.
It also has a certain load capacity. When Ying and Paimon meet Laiira, the Wandering Beast is already able to help Laiira carry her luggage.
"I really didn't expect those guys to really be able to tame a monster like a mushroom, it's still a little incredible when I think about it now." While capturing the fourth mushroom, Ying and Paimon meet Tighnari, who is researching the Orb of Will and the Mushroom.
"Tighnari, we see you're working on something called the Orb of Will?" Paimon asked
"Is there something wrong with this?"
"Oh~ no problem." Tighnari said
"Or something like the Orb of Will, it seems a little too perfect, it doesn't look like something that has just been invented."
"Originally, I was worried that this Will Orb was forcibly taming the Mushroom Beast, but now it doesn't seem to be, the Will Orb just allows people to pass on their thoughts directly to the Mushroom Beast."
"As long as people's beliefs are sincere, then the IQ is actually not high, and only some instincts and wisdom of the mushroom beast will naturally not resist too much."
"And they have arranged the follow-up relationship between humans and mushrooms very well."
"As long as you have a Will Orb, an invisible shield will appear around the mushroom that has signed a contract with this Will Orb to suppress the emission of elementals, and a stance on humans that will increase elemental resistance will appear, both of which are designed to protect people from elemental erosion."
"It's all very well designed." Tighnari sighed.
"Are Ying and Paimon preparing to participate in the Mushroom Beast Competition?" Tighnari asked.
"Of course, we've been looking forward to the big prizes and the mystery prizes for a long time." Paimon rubbed his hands together.
"Isn't Tighnari going to participate?" Ying asked.
"I'm not interested in those so-called jackpots, and I only bought the Orb of Will to find out what's going on here, but it's Cyno's guy..." Speaking of Cyno, Tighnari clearly had a headache.
"What's wrong with that guy?" Paimon asked curiously.
"That guy seems to have his eye on the back of the limited mushroom card provided by the participation prize, as well as the two limited character cards that will only be obtained by the top three." Tighnari said.
It was a [Great Mercy Tree King] card and a [Little Auspicious Grass King] card, which were the phantom cards of the god card that had just been developed not long ago.
During this time, it has already begun to be issued in limited quantities, but even the status of the Celestial Gale Chronicle has only been assigned a [Little Auspicious Grass King] card.
And it's a common card, not a Phantom card, which is unbearable for veteran Cyno Sr.
"It doesn't seem like much." Paimon understands the card boss very well.
"In order to ensure that the mushroom beast is of the same mind as himself, he even taught the mushroom beast how to fight the Seven Holy Summons." Tighnari had already put on a mask of pain when he said this.
“!!”
"The point is, he succeeded."
“???” So once humans get bored, they can really do anything.
Later, after capturing the last type of mushroom, Ying and Paimon found several mushrooms summoned by the Seven Saints with Cyno on the way back to Port Ormos.
Look at how they share the same hatred.
"All of a sudden, I was a little worried that I was going to lose." Paimon complained
"Seeing them like this, I suddenly feel so stressed."
"Don't worry, I have a secret weapon." Ying comforted.
"What a secret weapon?" Paimon wondered. Ying handed Paimon a token.
"Dolly!" Paimon was surprised
"yes, Dolly seems to be the main sponsor of this contest."
"Let's go to Dolly and definitely buy more ration gels suitable for the growth of mushroom beasts, and maybe we can also harvest some cultivation strategies."
"That's what I thought, too, so I'm going to go to Port Ormos and look for Dolly first." Ying said
"I just don't know if Dolly is on the other side of Port Ormos······."
"Lalala~" Dolly stretched and lay on top of her bodyguard, the Mist Spirit, listening to the sound of her own special Mora hourglass
"Mora's voice is so beautiful that I feel like I'll never get enough of it." Although the mushroom contest has not yet started, it has already driven a lot of consumption, and Dolly has already made a lot of money.
So Dolly has been in a very good mood lately.
"Vice Chief Dolly, Traveler Ying is looking for you through the line you left in Port Ormos."
"Oh ~ Traveler? Looks like today is my lucky day for Dolly..."
