I am Jinshan Youxia

Incidentally, picking mushrooms has been his biggest hobby these past few days, besides helping to cultivate the microbial community.

A supernatural flora has developed the ability to shape fungi, creating and controlling many interesting fungi, including mushrooms. Different supernatural flora can cultivate different fungal hyphae to form mushrooms, much like the more interesting Rogue game. The abilities of the supernatural fungal hyphae cultivated by the supernatural flora are unknown, as are the abilities of the mushrooms created by piecing them together.

Similar to programming, it is interesting and has endless potential. It only requires energy from extraordinary bacteria to function, after all, it is a derivative of the rules of [mold], and is much more stable than modern technological creations.

However, due to a lot of things going on lately, and a shortage of manpower in the laboratory, the mushrooms have not yet left the laboratory and been officially applied to the residents of Magic Mountain Town.

Many of these methods are ineffective, cumbersome to use, and some mushrooms even desperately absorb nutrients, causing the supernatural flora to shrink and making release very dangerous.

This time, the Japanese government blocked all nearby signals, so they had to take the Messenger Mushroom out of the lab in advance for temporary use.

Zhang Chengyi said nonchalantly, "Don't harass ordinary people. Break things down into smaller parts and try to avoid using your abilities to interfere with their lives."

Now is not the time for large-scale changes to human society. Sudden changes will inevitably lead to a lot of bloodshed and will drive the birth and development of uncontrolled rules.

To date, more than 50,000 people have accepted the symbiotic relationship with the extraordinary bacteria. Even if there are more than 10,000 children among them, that would still be more than 50,000 people with superpowers.

The top three thousand individuals within the group possess the ability to single-handedly break through modern armies, and some of their rarer abilities have made them virtually unmatched in modern society.

Dominating Earth is simple, but first we must prevent the rampant spread of out-of-control rules, and we must figure out how to migrate to other planets as soon as possible.

Energy is easy to solve; the moldy mind energy continuously provides unscientific, unlimited energy to the extraordinary mold, which then transforms into various abilities to interfere with reality.

Currently, the only things preventing them from leaving Earth are flight speed, means of survival, and how to terraform an alien planet to be habitable for humans.

If we could utilize space rockets or similar technology, perhaps we could first organize a group of symbiotic beings capable of surviving in space to explore the solar system.

"?" Zhang Chengyi felt like his thoughts had been racing, but the messenger mushroom was still motionless and unresponsive.

The prototype of the mushroom-creating microorganism, which had awakened nearby, stepped forward, sweating profusely. After communicating with the mushroom, it punched it, flattening the mushroom cap. At the same time, the mushroom quickly said a few words, and then its lips started to utter nonsense as if it had been fighting.

"Yes, Your Highness." "Your Highness?" "We... (unintelligible)"

“Your Highness, a section of the mycelium has short-circuited. It’s possible that the mind-reading mycelium can’t match the imitation mycelium…” The prototype explained incessantly while holding the mushroom without looking up, his fingers poking around inside the mushroom.

He is currently the only person who has mastered the mushroom-producing microbiome. He is obsessed with mushrooms and eventually awakened related abilities. It is very difficult to find a second one. The recruit with the highest deviation value is only 40%. After transplanting the microbiome, he can only produce mushrooms. He cannot control mushrooms or even communicate with them.

Chapter 325 has a lot of room for improvement.

Yes, the mushroom style still has a lot of room for improvement.

Zhang Chengyi used a more emotionally intelligent way of putting it: there was no other way. In less than half a month, he and the mushroom maker simply couldn't develop the mushroom to a usable level. In particular, he also had a lot of time to study other extraordinary bacterial groups. Even if he didn't need to rest for 24 hours a day, it wouldn't be enough.

Watching the mushroom man go to repair the mushrooms, he was too lazy to continue communicating with the residents of Demon Mountain Town who had already safely arrived in N City; they just understood each other.

Anyway, he'll move there in two or three days at most.

"It's fixed, it's fixed." The mushroom man returned carrying the messenger mushroom and said humbly, "Your Highness, this time there will definitely be no problem."

Besides mushrooms, there are many other areas for development in the laboratory. To continue developing these areas, contributions and manpower are indispensable. The key is to have the help of Zhang Chengyi, the leader of the microbial community, so that development can be both good and fast.

If he were to develop the mushrooms himself, it would probably take him a year and a half to go from extraordinary mycelium to extraordinary mushrooms. Just cultivating a large number of different extraordinary mycelium is a huge undertaking.

After Zhang Chengyi participated out of a sense of fun, the mushrooms made rapid progress.

Most of the other project managers also knew this, so they were just waiting for his mushroom to have problems, and then they would squeeze in to promote it, hoping that the leader of the colony could spare some time to help advance the project.

After experiencing the rapid development of a project you love, going back to figuring things out on your own, figuring out how to raise contribution points, and recruiting helpers is just too painful.

"forget it."

Zhang Chengyi didn't answer the message from the mushroom, but simply said, "Start testing the next project. Let me see..."

The mushroom man knelt down, reached out and hugged the leg of the Lord of the Fungi, and said in a tearful voice, "Your Highness, give me another chance, give me another chance!"

Everyone else can find like-minded people, but he's the only one who loves mushrooms right now. For his beloved mushrooms, playing the victim is no big deal.

"Oh dear," Zhang Chengyi scratched his head. He really liked the mushroom path, but problems were problems, and he couldn't possibly spread his time across a dozen different projects in the lab at the same time. And this was just now; in a year or two, who knew how many more paths would be derived from the extraordinary microbial community.

"Minzhi." He turned his head to look at his assistant behind him, who was busy studying the reaction between vampire flesh and supernatural bacteria, and said, "Assign 10,000 contribution points to the Mushroom Project."

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness." The mushroom man quickly let go of his beloved mushroom and ran to the back to happily collect his contribution point slip from the laboratory staff in charge of allocating contribution points.

There aren't many people who like mushrooms, and only he himself truly loves them. But if you have money—no, if you contribute points—many people can love mushrooms.

Consider it a bit of fun I bought with my contribution points.

Zhang Chengyi quickly cleared his mind of distractions and focused on his next research project.

Anyway, we need to wait for the contacts to finish their quarantine in the next couple of days, and also see if Goro Furuhata has built the overseas base yet.

-----------------

Two days later, in the morning, at the entrance of the laboratory in Moshan Town.

"Ah~ha," Matsui Keiichi yawned and stretched. After spending two days in the isolation room, he felt a bit rusty.

The bar owner of Moshan Town walked over with a resentful look on his face, put his hand on Matsui's shoulder, and said, "Matsui, you have to compensate me for my losses."

It was an utterly undeserved disaster. Not only did he miss the mass migration, but his wife and children didn't leave with him either. In just two whole days, the mushroom bar market in N City must have been taken over by others.

Strengthening gut microbiota isn't just about strengthening muscles; comprehensive strengthening means that brain processing speed is also above that of ordinary people. Moreover, there are many types of microbiota that specifically strengthen nerves and the brain.

The reason why there was only one bar in Moshan Town before was because everyone knew that Moshan Town was not big enough, and one bar was enough. If there were more, it would be bad to create competition under the nose of the Lord of the Bacteria.

Now that he's moved to N City, such a huge market, the first two days are prime time. Anyone interested in developing this business will definitely open a shop and hire people right away. He arrived two days late, and he won't even be able to get leftovers.

Matsui Keiichi, of course, knew exactly what was going on. He laughed and put his arm around the bar owner, lowering his voice to say, "You've also had a mind-based ability transplanted, haven't you? Quit your bar job and come work for me. I've received a grant from His Highness..."

The two walked away talking, and Takano, who had just finished queuing, rushed forward and said, "Section Chief, what... what should I do?"

When he was first locked up, he thought he was going to die or that he had been brainwashed. But the leader of the microbiome seemed very kind. Apart from his scary green eyes, he chatted with him for a few minutes and didn't make things difficult for him. He explained that he had to be isolated because of contact with aliens, examined him, and even cured many of his old ailments.

You could say he'd never met such a kind, well, oddball before?

Now that he's been released, he doesn't even know what to do. Should he contact his superior at the Investigation Bureau, who has long since stopped responding to him? Should he continue to follow them to N City to gather intelligence? Or should he escape Japan?

Matsui Kei looked over and slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot about you." He had really forgotten about Takano. His mind was full of thoughts about how to bypass the restrictions imposed by Zhang Chengyi and take control of the entire Public Security Investigation Agency and Investigation Bureau of Japan as quickly as possible.

Before coming to Mazan-cho, Takano was somewhat useful; at least he was a professional intelligence officer in the Investigation Bureau.

They've basically been abandoned by the investigation bureau as monsters controlled by anomalies, and with their minds full of human supremacist ideas, they're basically useless idle personnel.

The key issue is that we didn't catch the right time. In the past, transplanting gut microbiota was free, but now extraordinary gut microbiota costs money. Who would give money to a stranger for no reason? Even in churches, you need to gather five people to transplant the most basic enhanced gut microbiota.

He's not a saint; bailing out Takano was already generous enough. He doesn't have time to do psychological work on a guy like that.

However, considering that the other party had also been implicated and detained for two days because of him, Matsui Keiichi beckoned to a familiar member of the cult and pointed at Takano, saying:

“Take him to N City with me. I’ll put all his spending in Japanese yen and US dollars on my tab. He can spend it however he wants.”

They're just making use of waste. In the microbial symbiotic community now, who cares about ordinary money? With superpowers, money doesn't matter, and no one wants to contribute a single point.

The follower patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lord Matsui, I've got it covered."

Matsui Keiichi then instructed Takano, "Just go to N City with them. Do whatever you want there, and tell them if you need anything. Don't be shy with me."

Completely bewildered as to why the other party was being so generous, Takano was moved to tears.

"Thank you, Section Chief."

Chapter 326 Departure

Magic Mountain is not far from the sea, only a hundred or so kilometers away.

Anyone who has had extraordinary bacteria for more than a week can run there on foot within half a day.

But for Zhang Chengyi, it was an insurmountable barrier.

Without enough infected individuals, he would never be able to cross the border in his entire life. Even with his second body, he could only travel a dozen kilometers or so away from the bacterial colony's coverage area at most. His first body, on the other hand, demonstrated what it means to collapse as soon as you step outside.

So after hastily returning home after roughly finalizing the location of the overseas base, Goro Furuhata suddenly fell into a long silence.

We can't expect to have a dozen or so people protecting us every time we go there.

Do you expect me to follow you around while scattering flower petals and chanting "Old Immortal Mold, with boundless magic power?"

Staying on an island is so boring, there's nothing fun to do there. The city is definitely more interesting.

The key is that we can't leave anyone else to guard 'Teeth' alone right now; it's too dangerous for the out-of-control rules to slip out of his sight without him understanding them.

Among the current imperfect containment measures for out-of-control rules, he is the best one.

These out-of-control rules are very sensitive to humanoid beings. He would definitely be the first to be infected in his humanoid state, but since he has no mind, there is no possibility of him being contaminated. The rules cannot work and he gets stuck in the end. Once the out-of-control rules spread and information is exchanged, he will definitely be the first to perceive it and read the corresponding information.

The first second out-of-control rule he encountered, the "sword," which is the vessel for the "life force," is now inside his stomach. One reason is that the rules of "life force" are quite complex, and only those with the corresponding qualifications can awaken the out-of-control rules within the sword. Theoretically, as long as someone without the corresponding qualifications comes into contact with the sword, this is an out-of-control rule that is even safer than "high-speed driving."

The other reason is even simpler: the 'sword' is short, so putting it in his stomach wouldn't affect his normal life.

Like teeth, they don't cause any harm as long as they don't bite people or stay with people for a long time, but they are so big that they can't be stuffed into the stomach.

In short, for various reasons, Zhang Chengyi has already decided to abandon his decision to establish an overseas base to contain aliens, which he had only recently announced.

He organized his thoughts, looked at Goro Furuhata calmly, and said, "Well, let's find someone to build it slowly first, there's no rush to move there." He seemed a little guilty as he spoke.

He inexplicably caused a lot of trouble for many people, but then he complained that it was too much trouble and not fun, and didn't want to go anymore. It sounds like he was just messing with people.

A three-minute burst of enthusiasm is also typical of Kingsoft Game Ranger's style.

"Yes." Whether or not Goro Furuhata noticed the Lord of the Bacteria's little scheme, he responded without any objection.

Zhang Chengyi changed the subject, saying, "There's no time like the present. Since everyone is back and all those who had been in contact with the infected person have finished their quarantine, let's move to N City today."

The Demon Mountain Tunnel and Demon Mountain have been isolated, and ordinary humans should not be able to cross them by hand. The outposts have also been built to a near completion, and the security team under the laboratory has been arranged to keep watch. They are given a lot of contribution points, so there is basically no need to worry about a lack of people willing to stand guard.

The blockade imposed by the Japanese government and the US military has long been lifted. The church members are working very quickly, and ordinary people have no way to resist mind reading, brainwashing, pheromone attacks, and other methods. Coupled with flying, teleporting, and invisibility, they would be extremely sinister villains in a game.

Why is he the villain?

A strange thought popped into Zhang Chengyi's head, then he dismissed it.

It is indeed necessary to move out as soon as possible. Some of the family members of the contacts have already moved to N City, and it is not appropriate for them to stay in Moshan Town.

Moreover, Mazan Town is too small, making development very inconvenient. Once Keiichi Matsui takes over the Japan Research Agency and establishes a research bureau dedicated to bacteria, it will be able to spread from N City to the whole country.

As for world affairs, let's take it one step at a time; haste makes waste.

"Yes." Goro Furuhata said the exact same thing again and silently walked out.

He was going to organize the people who were still in Moshan Town.

Zhang Chengyi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Aren't we going to see Minzhi?"

He shouldn't interfere in their relationship, but both of them are quite awkward; they care about each other but would never take the initiative on the surface.
