I'm a mage, what's wrong with loving farming?

Chapter 330 330. Magical Fungi
after a while.

In the laboratory, Cloya looked at the apprentices who came over with a smile on his face: "Are you ready? Have you brought everything?"

The apprentices in front of him, led by Lina, nodded heavily.

"All right!"

Each of them was carrying a huge bag, and was leading dogs, chickens and sheep. It didn't seem like they were going on an adventure, but rather like they were going to a farm stay.

——And in fact it is almost the same. They are going to enter the Kongyao Paradise to carry out preliminary development. Almost every one of those strange cities is covered by powerful forces.

As a "paradise" made from the flesh and blood of gods, it is both a real kingdom of God and an illusory place with a clear boundary from reality. Therefore, people are needed to plant the seeds given by Croa and light up every city with the "reality" of the Ring of Light.

Kloya originally wanted to go and see it in person, but after considering it, he gave up. It would be too boring to do everything by himself.

So he found reliable apprentices.

"I won't say anything more."

"You will receive a reward for every torch you light."

This is not just empty talk. Kloya has always been generous. As long as you do good things, you will get a lot of rewards, whether it is knowledge, magic crystals, status or power.

So the apprentices, as if they were injected with chicken blood, took the initiative to step forward and cautiously walked into the rotating portal made of platinum-colored mycelium.

The next moment, what appeared before their eyes was a vast grassland composed entirely of light green fungi.

"Baaaah!"

The eyes of the mountain goats following behind them lit up. If they had not been well trained, they would have run over and eaten the food.

But even so, these ibexes used their horns to butt their owner's arms, making impatient "bleating" sounds.

"Can these be eaten?" Lina thought for a moment, then ordered: "Since the mountain goats want to eat them, then go ahead and eat them."

In fact, these mountain goats and all the magical beasts and plants they brought with them have the function of adapting to the environment here and exploring the effects of different crops. Nothing is more sensitive than the magical beasts and plants.

These strange creatures created by magic are naturally able to sense what is good for them and what is harmful to them - their perception is more practical than any magic.

At the same time, she also issued other orders: "The four of us will go explore the surroundings, and you, Want, will be in charge here."

After that, except for the apprentice who was in charge of the sheep and the magical plants, everyone else took out a small grass with only two straight leaves from their pockets and placed it on their heads.

The blades of the grass began to spin rapidly, and the magic power gradually permeated the bodies of the apprentices, forming a small anti-gravity field, and then carried them flying in different directions.

——This thing was also made by Croa. It was originally supposed to be called Wind Breathing Clover, but I don’t know why Croa insisted on naming it “Bamboo Dragonfly”. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with bamboo or dragonflies.

Although I don't quite understand it, as long as Cloa arranges it, it is always right. Besides, this thing is really useful. It is more durable than flying and the direction is easier to control.

They quickly disappeared into the air.

Only the apprentice Want was left here. He first took out a fence to enclose all the remaining magical beasts and magical plants, and then patted the mountain goats on the head one by one:
"Go."

After receiving the order from their master, the ibexes ran happily to the grassland not far away, lowered their heads and began to eat voraciously. With every bite, their bodies grew visibly larger.

The apprentice in charge of recording surrounded the blue sheep and wrote on the crystal board in his hand: "Record: After eating the green fungus grass, the blue sheep's body size increased, and its mental state did not change significantly..."

He had just recorded it on the crystal plate when he was immediately shocked by the scene before him - he saw a brand new ibex falling from the ibex that was still eating voraciously, and then its body returned to its original size.

Not just this one, all the blue sheep that had eaten the mushroom grass produced new blue sheep in this almost "splitting" method, every one of them!
In just a moment, the original five mountain goats became ten, ten became twenty, then forty, eighty...

The apprentice holding the crystal board trembled violently, and called out to his lamb: "Lila! Where are you! Lila!"

"Baaaah!"

"Baaaah!"

"Baaaah!"

The five ibexes rushed forward, pushing away the other ibexes surrounding them, and ran to their owner, rubbing his arms gently with their horns as usual.

——These are the five Lila siblings he adopted.

Seeing them coming back, the apprentice calmed down a little, and then carefully began to observe the split mountain goats. According to his observation, there was no light in the eyes of each of these split mountain goats, and they were almost instinctively devouring the green mushroom grass.

And after he cut open a sheep and took a look, he was even more shocked by what he saw - the meat inside the split sheep was exactly the same! Even the internal organs were the same.

In other words, these sheep are exactly the same as "mountain sheep" except that they have no intelligence. They are even edible. He set up a grill on the spot and grilled a piece of meat and found that it tasted quite good.

The meat is rich in fat and has a delicate texture, without any strange smell. Even the hardness of rock sheep meat has been improved. Although it is still not as good as the silver sheep specially supplied to the lord, the gap is not that big.

"What is going on here? Is it the magic of splitting? But it's impossible for the magic of splitting to directly turn into meat..." He felt confused and puzzled.

He discovered something he couldn't understand as soon as he came in. How could he have the nerve to take the lord's generous reward!
Fortunately, the split among the ibexes seemed to have ended here, and the number of them increased from five to one hundred, which was twenty times the original number.

Except for the original five sheep, the rest of the sheep only have the instinct to swallow food.

This made him feel a little relieved, and he quickly wrote down everything in the record. Then he took out a sealed bottle from his pocket, took out the curled up mycelium inside and pressed it against his temple.

The mycelium suddenly stretched out and penetrated deeply into his temple. The next second, several extremely short but wise mushroom-men seemed to appear around him.

"Take a look at what this is. Do you recognize it?" he asked.

The mushroom people carefully observed the green fungus grass on the ground for a while, and suddenly jumped up happily, saying excitedly: "This is Pero grass! As long as you eat it, you can copy the same body as your own! But the more complex the body structure, the more you need to eat.

In our hometown, these Pero grasses were prepared for us by the Father of Fungi, so that we can replace our bodies at any time. I didn’t expect it to be here!”

The mushroom people jumped and danced, but they couldn't really catch the green mushroom grass. Their faces were full of frustration. They were obviously rare wise men among the mushroom people, but they were like children who couldn't get candy.

This is a mental illusion that appears through the connection between mycelium and human mental power. If they really come here, they will probably eat as much as those sheep.

In fact, this is also the reason why Kloya did not allow the mushroom people to come along. These overly cheerful little lives sometimes really don’t care about anything, which is a huge uncertainty factor for development and exploration.

"Okay, okay, I get it!" Want felt a sharp pain in his mental strength. When these mushroom people were happy, their mental fluctuations were so exaggerated that it was unbearable.

He quickly removed the mycelium from his temple, and the mushroom people beside him flashed and disappeared.

He looked down and saw obvious bloodstains on the mycelium.

There is no other way. This method of directly sharing one's perception with the mushroom people will definitely require some cost. Even Kloya has no way to reduce this cost much.

After calming his thoughts by holding his hands to his temples, he continued recording:

"Perlo's grass."

"Can replicate the body."

"I haven't experienced it myself, so I'm asking for Hanhai's approval..."

After completing all the records, he uploaded the logs to the tower spirit who was waiting outside.

Just at this moment, the buzzing sound of a bamboo dragonfly was heard in the distance. He looked up and saw that his companions had all returned with full loads.

Everyone was holding mushrooms of different sizes, colorful and even shining. The colors were so bright that they reminded Want of some not-so-wonderful memories. When he was on duty at the Mushroom Manor, he ate a lot of mushrooms as a work benefit. As a result, he accidentally ate a mushroom with psychotropic toxins and almost returned to Valhalla.

After he was cured in the hospital, he also compensated a student from the Earth Academy who planted those poisonous mushrooms with a lot of magic crystals, because that was his graduation project.

But even with such a painful lesson, he couldn't help swallowing when he looked at the plump mushrooms brought back by his companions.

There is no way. Although mushrooms may cause hallucinations, stomachaches, and even death, they are really delicious. Anyway, I can return to Valhalla and continue to stay there. Since I can eat them, why not eat them?
Under his eager gaze, Lina landed first and threw the huge mushrooms in her hands to the ground, saying helplessly: "There is an endless forest of mushrooms outside. These are still small. Some are dozens of meters high."

"I don't recognize those mushrooms. The fluctuations of their magic power are also very different from those of common mushrooms. Sigh... Should I ask the mushroom man for help again?"

Even Lina felt a little dazed at the thought of being harassed by the mushroom people's terrifying mental fluctuations, and instinctively wanted to refuse - after all, it wasn't the end of her rope yet.

She muttered a few words and suddenly saw Want's eager expression. She narrowed her eyes, and with an idea, she took out a bottle of glittering potion with golden light mixed with azure blue halo from her pocket.

"Want."

"This is a treasure that the Lord once gave me. It is made of Lord Sunflower's essential oil and special power. As long as you take it, you will have luck and inspiration."

"Come on! Drink it!"

Lina's voice was full of temptation and enthusiasm, and she almost tricked and coaxed Want into drinking the potion. However, the latter did not refuse. He drank the potion in one gulp and then began to eat the mushrooms.

As soon as he took the first bite, his face changed.

"This mushroom...hmm."

"Wow!"

He lowered his head and began to vomit. A rainbow came out of his mouth. It was a real rainbow. After vomiting, he looked at the blue mushroom with a dazed look in his eyes, but his tone was very clear: "Its function should be..."

Before he finished speaking, his whole body melted instantly.

"!!!"

"Can you die after taking the Fuling potion?"

"That's not right!"

——Before his consciousness completely entered the city, he heard the panicked voices of his companions.

Then, he didn't have time to worry about it.

Because his consciousness extended through countless hyphae and tubes, lighting up different lights and colors every moment, he immediately realized that he was integrated into the fungal network!

When he realized it, within a few short seconds, he miraculously crossed countless sub-nodes, as if he had the help of a god.

Finally it fell into the core main node of the entire Fungus City!

His consciousness was completely integrated into this city full of various fungi. In an exaggerated way, he was able to look down on the entire fungal city from a high vantage point.

Want saw all kinds of fungi growing in the city, and wherever his thoughts stopped, the functions and uses of the different fungi would quickly appear.

The feeling of being able to see everything and seem to have everything under control made him...feel fearful and terrified.

"I'm not going to be able to be a human being, am I?"

"No!"

He couldn't help but wail in the fungal network. His mental power sent out violent fluctuations, so that the entire fungal city became active, and countless spores erupted from everywhere.

As if a volcano was erupting, particles of various colors erupted from all places that had been dormant, thick enough to cover the sky and the earth.

"No! Defend quickly!"

Lina's face changed and she whistled. Some golden vines that had been leisurely staying inside the fence jumped out like spirit snakes, and their bodies quickly stretched to form circles one after another, surrounding all the magic plants, monsters and apprentices.

The rain of particles made of spores was blocked by the shield formed by these vines when it fell. After falling to the ground, the spores quickly spread and took root, entwining...

All sorts of fungi grew.

There are huge common mushrooms, tiny feather-like fungi that float in the air and spread spores, small and crystal spores that look like auroras, and even fungi that look like various animals and angels and fly around.

They roam freely in this fungal world, but there are no obvious signs of life, as if they are just empty shells.

The world seemed to have woken up. The huge, almost terrifying rhythm of life was simply terrifying.

At this moment, the apprentices did not know what they were going to experience. They stayed in the protection of the sun vines anxiously, using their crystal plates to seek help from the outside.

The current situation has obviously exceeded their expectations. In this situation, the first reaction is to ask for help. In their hearts, Lord Croa, who is omnipotent, is watching here.

However, the awakened Fungal City now has its own "consciousness". Even Croa, who is watching here, cannot interfere easily, and even vaguely feels a strange sense of rejection.

"This rejection is... fear of my light?" Kloya frowned slightly, looking at the fungal city that was gradually "filling up" with a little surprise.

He sighed helplessly, and could only use his connection with the Ring of Glory to send a message inside:
"Light the torches in time, and they won't hurt you!"

"This is paradise, everything in it is friendly!"

"But be careful, the friendliness of fungi is not the same as your understanding of friendliness!"

His voice came in before the sky was obscured by a cloud of mycelium, and the next second the whole world was enveloped by fungi.

It stands to reason that it should be very dark since the light source is blocked, but in fact it does not appear dark at all.

Colorful fluorescent fungi grow quietly around, illuminating the dark environment. Although it is not as bright as the sun, it creates an exceptionally magical atmosphere.

Lina: "..."

She rubbed her temples with a headache, looking at the mycelium growing towards here. After gathering together, the mycelium first formed an ancient long table, and then formed a variety of foods.

There are whole roasted lambs, roasted suckling pigs, huge fried chicken legs, grilled fish, various cheeses, juices and drinks...

Each dish exudes a rich aroma, with the freshly roasted fat sizzling, a scent that is totally not what fungi should have, and based on their years of experience eating delicious food, this is definitely real food.

Fluorescent mushrooms grew on both sides of the long table, gradually forming huge chairs, as if inviting them to enjoy the meal.

For a moment, the apprentices looked at each other. They didn't know what to do. This was really beyond their knowledge - that was the time.

A tiny little man with wings and a halo made of mycelium behind his head suddenly grew out of the ground. He scratched his hair (mycelium) in embarrassment.

"I seem to have become the mayor of this city... If you want to come and see me and light the torch, you must go through the guest welcome ceremony."

“These delicacies are the first stop.”

——The apprentices recognized its voice. Although it was a slightly shrill childish voice, it was obviously the apprentice Want who had just disappeared!
He actually became the lord of this city!

Everyone's first reaction was envy, especially Lina. If she had known earlier, she would have drunk the bottle of Fuling potion herself!
