11.1 per cent for option I, 61.1 per cent for option II and 27.8 per cent for option III.

……

[Option 2]

[Fight again to get the treasure on the head of the giant mushroom]

*Probability of injury, 7 days of rest

……

Is there a way to get that treasure?

Faced with Zhuang Yusheng's problem, Zheng Zhuo had no way to make a guarantee.

But he thinks there's value in trying.

The two of them were able to secure the item at a very early stage, which allowed them to pass through the second floor much faster than expected. With 56 days left until the end of the world, it would be a good idea to explore a little here.

"Let's go check it out."

Zheng Zhuo nodded and waved his staff. The [Mage's Hand], which was clenching the [Dread Blade], therefore reversed direction and slowly slid towards Zheng Zhuo's left hand with a faint blue light.

The direction of progress has changed, but the way forward has not changed. The mushroom man and the toad scurried around because of [fear], and Zheng Zhuo and Zhuang Yusheng easily arrived at a location quite close to the giant mushroom man.

“…… It's so high. ”

As the two of them approached the giant mushroom, the size of the giant mushroom made them feel more and more shocking. The mushroom was ten stories tall, and it took two people to raise their heads vigorously to see the folds under its cap.

Unlike the rat king, who had a keen sense of hearing and was very aggressive on the first floor of the dungeon, the giant mushroom man barely reacted to the arrival of Zheng Zhuo and Chu Huairen. It just slowly lifted its feet, and then slowly lowered them, stepping on the poisonous swamp, making a huge splash. Zheng Zhuo carefully adjusted his position and kept a safe distance from it. Occasionally, he could hear the screams of a toad as it stepped on it.

But Zheng Zhuo realized that the giant mushroom people had a way of detecting them.

The proof of this is that when they approach the giant mushrooms, they react: sometimes they stay away, sometimes they come over and try to trample on them.

It's just that the giant mushroom is too slow. They can easily dodge. And the mushroom man does not seem to get angry easily, and will soon give up the chase.

"The treasure is above its head."

In the midst of the pulling, Zheng Zhuo could no longer see the head of the huge mushroom. On the way, however, he had seen it clearly: the treasure hung from the mushrooms that grew from the top of the cap on top of its head.

Next, it's how to take down the treasure.

The easiest way to think of this is to have the giant mushroom sink back into the pool and run fast enough to jump on top of it before it even gets up.

There is no price to be paid for this solution. Zheng Zhuo and Zhuang Yusheng immediately began testing, and after a little attempt, they found that it was not feasible: they had to be far away before the giant mushroom would sink into the poisonous swamp. Neither of them had acceleration skills, so they didn't have time to approach before it got up.

The next scenario is......

"Attack it directly, will it throw the treasure off?"

Probably because the preliminary work was too smooth, Zhuang Yusheng began to put forward more and more bold plans.

"I refuse."

Zheng Zhuo directly denied this plan. Because if you think about it a little, you can see that he must be the one who attracts the attention of the huge mushroom.

They tried for a long time, and finally, after eliminating many uncertainties, there was only one plan left in front of them.

A plan to use the Mage's Hand.

Specifically, Zheng Zhuo climbed the uneven high wall on the side of the second floor, until he climbed to a height about the same height as the top of the mushroom umbrella. Zhuang Yusheng used [Stealth] to attract the giant mushroom below, bringing it close to the high wall, and Zheng Zhuo used [Mage's Hand] to remove the treasure.

As far as I could see, the mushroom on which the treasure hung was located on the edge of the giant mushroom canopy. Zheng Zhuo stood on the high wall, and it was really possible to get within 5 meters of the treasure.

And as soon as you enter, you can take it off.

“…… Is it wall climbing again? ”

Zheng Zhuo accepted the proposal. After the giant mushroom man had left a little distance, he began to climb the stone wall.

……

A month in the real world, no, a week ago, Zheng Zhuo would never have imagined that he would climb more than 30 meters of stone wall with his bare hands in the future.

However, thanks to the Fireball and the Mage's Hand, climbing the stone wall has become easier for him.

Zheng Zhuo first used the [Fireball] to smash a hole in the already uneven stone wall, and then used the [Mage's Hand] to support himself and jump upward.

Little by little, he ascended, and after a quarter of an hour, he reached the same height as the platform he had entered the second floor.

(Treasure...... )”

By this point, the swaying canopy of the giant mushroom could be seen clearly. He saw what the treasure was hanging on top of the giant mushroom man's head.

It was a crossbody bag. There is some kind of metal pinned to the satchel, so it reflects the light in the dark room.

OK!

Zheng Zhuo waved his hand to Zhuang Yusheng. Zhuang Yusheng, who had been hiding below early in the morning, made a "confirm" gesture and quietly left the hideout.

He appeared in front of the giant mushroom and ran back. After a few efforts, the giant mushroom man began to slowly move in Zheng Zhuo's direction.

(Okay...... Good. )”

Zheng Zhuo held his breath and waited. Slowly, slowly, the giant mushroom man approached, and Zheng Zhuo began to feel uncomfortable in his eyes, the air was pungent, and his exposed skin was itchy......

Followed by.

The mushroom cap came to Zheng Zhuo's eyes.

(Good!) )”

Now is the time! Zheng Zhuo waved his staff, and the magic ring that had been prepared lit up.

"[Mage's Hand], release!"

The dark blue [Mage's Hand] appeared on the mushroom cap of the giant mushroom! It grabbed at the crossbody bag.

However.

The mushroom seemed to notice something. It starts moving.

"Oops...... Distance......"

The limit of 5 meters is too extreme! The Mage's Hand gripped the bag, however, was unable to remove it from the mushroom on top of the giant mushroom.

It only tugged at a cylindrical paper tube tucked away from the side of the crossbody bag.

And then.

All of a sudden.

A muffled sound wave resounded throughout the stone chamber.

"-What-"

Zheng Zhuo covered his ears hard. He had been turning on [Identification], and at this moment, he saw that on the interface of the giant mushroom, the skill of [Command Lv.1] flashed.

The poisonous swamp below suddenly made a "grunt, grunt" sound.

Zheng Zhuo looked down and saw that at his foothold, large and small caps were densely popping up.

It's a mushroom! Countless mushroom people gathered because of the [order] of the huge mushroom people.

Worst! Jump down now? Will Fireballs be able to dispel them? The Mage's Hand can catch itself when it's about to land—

Then.

Zheng Zhuo saw the giant mushroom man's [Slap Lv.3] flash again.

The giant mushroom cap tilted sharply towards Zheng Zhuo, and he saw it raise an arm thicker than the giant tree.

I'm going to be hit!

If you don't jump down, you'll have to jump on the head of the giant mushroom!

However, there are all kinds of mushrooms growing on the head of the giant mushroom! Those mushrooms emit dangerous spores, and I don't know what kind of effect it will have! It's definitely more dangerous to jump on the head of a giant mushroom...... But maybe you can take the opportunity to take the crossbody bag with you?

No, safety is the most important thing......

But it's not necessarily safe to jump down.

But......

In an instant, countless thoughts passed through Zheng Zhuo's mind.

What to do?

……
