This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 2.2 A Stranger Comes to the Mushroom Garden

Lin Jun now felt that his eyes were almost blinded by the light - if he had eyes.

Even though there are many Puji in your own mushroom garden, the basic version of Puji has the standard five attributes with 1 point and 10 health points, which is at the bottom of the food chain. Is 3000 health points something that ordinary Puji can reach?
Of course, it was still very easy for Lin Jun to control her, but the fixed effect of that row was really enviable.

I'm so envious that I want to eat her and take away her abilities...

Just kidding, it's rare to find someone here who can communicate with you.

Besides, judging from the panel, the Puji in front of him is most likely a human being. As for living people, Lin Jun is not yet to the point of being a non-human.

"Are you calming down?" Lin Jun controlled the hand that was holding her and loosened it a little so as not to put too much pressure on her.

Suddenly, a voice appeared in her head, which made Inanna panic. She still didn't know whether the other party was a human or a demon. She only knew that all the Puji nearby were under the control of the other party.

Could this be the sequel to the conspiracy, the person responsible for executing me here?

"If you want to...kill me, then kill me!"

"Why would I kill you? Could you please calm down?"

"Hey?"

Foreign mushrooms are so rude. They don’t even apologize for messing up their own mushroom garden.

"I am the lord of all the mushrooms on this floor. You can call me Lin Jun. What's your name?"

"Mushroom... Lord..."

Inanna didn't know how the words mushroom and lord were connected.

In her impression, aren't mushrooms a low-level creature with a maximum level of 10? Even at the maximum level, they will be used as food by other monsters of only a few levels?

The scene she saw here was not something that only a level 10 monster could possess, not to mention the communication method similar to the level 5 magic telepathy.

And this is obviously not just talking.

Since the connection was made, the range of Inanna's perception has spread far beyond a few meters around her.

And it was even clearer and more subtle, as if it was receiving the perception of all the mushrooms around it.

Inanna had no idea how powerful this Mushroom Lord was.

Anyway, try to pretend that you are also Puji and get away with it.

"I, I'm also a bitch, I don't have a name..."

"Then why don't I give you a name, let's call you Inanna."

"..."

Ugh?
Why would he know?
Could it be that this telepathic skill also has the ability to read minds?
The Pujis who had been dispersing around him slowly gathered around him again. Was he going to be killed for lying?
No!
Fortunately, when there was still a little space left, the Pujis stopped and Lin Jun's voice sounded in his mind again.

"I'm very friendly, but the premise is that you don't play tricks on me. Otherwise, I don't mind adding more fertilizer to moisten the soil. Do you understand?"

Inanna tapped her mushroom cap vigorously.

"Then let's do it again, Name."

"I, Inanna St. Clair..."

"What about your identity?"

"The daughter of the Duke...Amara..."

The Duke's daughter?

Is the world outside a structure similar to that of the Middle Ages?

No wonder it has the blessing of the Church and the fruit of life, and it can still have 3000 health points after turning into Puji.

No matter which world you are in, having a good father is a shortcut to life.

"Tell me, how did you, the daughter of a duke, end up here with me?"

Everything has been revealed, so there is no need for Inanna to hide the rest.

Not only did he explain how he was forced to fall, he also answered all of Lin Jun's other questions in detail.

Lin Jun took the opportunity to learn a lot of information.

For example, the place where he was actually in was an underground city located in the territory of the Inanna family, and it was a deep area. No wonder there were monsters everywhere.

For example, there are all kinds of races out there, and humans are on the verge of war with vampires in the demon race. The two traitors who want to kill Inanna are most likely colluding with vampires.

Not only that, he also realized that Inanna, a local, did not seem to be able to see the panel, otherwise she would not try to conceal her name.

Maybe this panel is a hidden benefit for the "brave"?

In short, Lin Jun, who had gained a lot, now finds this pink Puji much more pleasing to the eye.

"Inanna, you're already in a mess now. What are your plans for the future?" "My plans for the future... you really won't turn me into fertilizer, will you?" After being under pressure before, Inanna is now a little afraid of Lin Jun.

"I promise."

"I want to go back to the ground..."

Inanna not only wants to return to the surface, but also wants to find her father, lift the transformation, and then seek revenge on the two traitors!
"Ah, back to the ground,"

Lin Jun laughed when he heard it.

“I want to go to the ground too!

But as you can see, you are a mushroom and I am also a mushroom. How can we break through the underground world full of terrifying monsters and get to the surface?
Not to mention the distance, even on our level, the passage leading up is in the lair of a fire demon."

The Fire Demon is a high-level monster at least LV55!

Even if Inanna hadn't been transformed, it would be impossible to defeat her, and it's hard to say whether she could even escape if she encountered her.

"By the way, won't your father, the Duke, come to rescue you?"

"Maybe..."

Inanna remembered what the two traitors had said, that her father was about to die, and she felt uneasy.

The pink mushroom cap visibly shrank.

Yes, after turning into Puji, she couldn't even use the magic she was best at, so how could she possibly return to the ground?

"Alright, alright, now that we're here, let's make the best of it. You must be hungry after making such a fuss, so come and eat something first."

Don’t let this new novelty you just picked up starve to death.

A Puji with a green umbrella-shaped hat jumped out of the mushroom field, walked up to Inanna and showed her the way. Inanna did feel a little hungry.

"Is this you?"

"Yes and no, all the mushrooms here are me."

In fact, he does have a mushroom body, but he is not going to say it.

Inanna nodded, not quite understanding, and the two of them then came to a fungal mat formed by mycelium.

Lin Jun kindly demonstrated to Inanna how Puji eats.

He controlled Puji to lie down on the spot, allowing the mycelium on the ground to connect to it and supply nutrients. It was replenished in less than 5 minutes.

The color of Inanna's mushroom cap next to her changed dramatically.

what is this?
Let a bunch of hyphae insert into the body and inject something unknown?

This scene was difficult for Inanna, who had been taking food with her mouth for 16 years, to accept.

Lin Jun didn't urge the child to eat. If the child didn't eat, it must be because he was not hungry enough. If he was really hungry, he would eat on his own.

Inanna's gradually weakened body eventually made her lie on the fungal mat.

This feeling!
Nutrients flow in from countless connection points under the body, and a sense of satisfaction of being fed and filled arises spontaneously.

So happy……

Only after the nutrients were sufficient and the mycelium no longer provided them did Inanna get up reluctantly.

As mushrooms, it seems unexpectedly good?
No, no, what am I thinking about!

Inanna, has even your brain turned into a mushroom?
Oh, the brain has indeed turned into a mushroom cap, and it’s pink…

Lin Jun had no idea what Inanna was thinking. When she finished her meal, she began to introduce her to the various areas of the mushroom garden.

"You know about the cafeteria. You've also seen the Pooji planting area. That's where you knocked my Pooji down."

"See that rock wall? There's a mining area underneath it."

"That's the breeding area. They have some roller beetles and slimes there. They're very aggressive, so don't go there casually."

"See that giant mushroom on the right? That's the division area. It's a bit difficult to explain, so you'll understand when you go back and see it for yourself."

"Don't go that way. If you go that way you'll be out of the mushroom garden. It's not safe."

Lin Jun continued to introduce himself, while Inanna beside him crashed from the first word.

What plantation and what breeding area?

Inanna felt that Lin Jun was not introducing the area within the dungeon, but rather a small town with complete functions.

Am I still in the Amethyst Dungeon?

What about other monsters?
After all, how can a bunch of mushrooms have such a large territory deep in the extremely dangerous dungeon?
Inanna's mind was full of questions and she became more and more confused the more she thought about it. She felt that the deeper part of the dungeon was extremely strange and even common sense no longer existed.
