Chapter 2069: Chapter 2070: The Miraculous Mushroom

Angel did not directly refuse, which was actually good news for Nuka.

With Shava’s esteemed status, if she really disagreed, she would have definitely rejected them outright. Since she left a little room, it at least means that Shava is still very likely inclined to participate in the banquet.

As for how to turn this “inclination” into reality, Nuka felt that this might be the test Shava was giving him.

Perhaps, if he performs well, Shava would nod in agreement.

And how to perform, where to start from? Naturally, it begins with the current banquet.

Thinking of this, Nuka’s small eyes squinted into a crescent shape and he said to Angel, “Lord Shava is right, it’s too early to propose plans now, changes can occur at any time.”

Angel: “…” Did I even say that?

“Very well, let’s see when the time comes.” Nuka nodded at Angel, then raised his wine glass filled with crimson liquid, giving a distant toast towards Angel.

Angel didn’t know what Nuka was thinking, but according to dining etiquette, he also lifted his wine glass to return the salute. The liquor he drank naturally didn’t go to his stomach but was wrapped in Nightmare Illusion Breath and pulled into the Nightmare Realm.

During the subsequent banquet, Nuka never mentioned asking Angel for help again, nor did he raise any awkward or unanswerable questions for Angel. Instead, Nuka answered every question Angel raised.

In fact, he was extremely eager to fulfill Angel’s requests. Nuka learned from the Lunatic Tome that Angel seemed interested in the Sound Transmission Mushroom, so he immediately sent a small Rat to arrange all the Sound Transmission Mushrooms from the mushroom garden for Angel.

With resignation, Angel raised his bracelet, to which a white mushroom was stuck like an ornament, this was the Sound Transmission Mushroom given to him by the Lunatic Tome earlier.

This action by Angel was a signal to Nuka that he already had it and didn’t need to take more Sound Transmission Mushrooms. As long as there are mycelia, Sound Transmission Mushrooms will eventually split into countless individuals, so the present amount was not significant.

Moreover, Angel’s interest in Sound Transmission Mushrooms was quite limited. Without the Wilderness of Dreams, the performance of Sound Transmission Mushrooms would be decent, but since he had the Wilderness of Dreams, the functionality of the Sound Transmission Mushrooms would be greatly diminished.

After being refused by Angel, Nuka then noticed that both Angel’s bracelet and the back of his heel had mushroom “ornaments”, among which were three green small mushrooms on the back of his heel that Nuka himself had cultivated, the Glittering Shimmer.

Nuka’s eyes lit up: it seems Lord Shava quite fancies mushrooms?

With a grand gesture, Nuka soon had the human plate holders, human wine glass holders, and human candle holders moved aside from Angel’s table, leaving an array of over twenty varieties of mushroom saplings on the empty tabletop.

Once these mushroom saplings appeared, they showed extraordinary affection towards Angel, much like the Glittering Shimmer saplings, naturally longing for the Nightmare Realm aura surrounding Angel. This was because, compared to the half-dimension Nightmare Realm aura, the aura emanating from the green pattern on Angel’s right hand was much purer and denser.

If not for the interference from the Spotted Little Puppy, it’s likely all these mushroom saplings would latch onto Angel, becoming ornamental attachments.

Facing a table full of mushroom saplings emanating a “whining” mood, Angel found himself barely able to maintain his expression.

If it were Regina, the “Mushroom Witch” from the Research and Development Institute, witnessing these exotic mushrooms from the outside world would probably make her quite excited. However, as far as Angel was concerned, he wasn’t very interested in mushrooms, and the scene that played out in his mind was a steaming pot of mushroom chicken soup.

Perhaps seeing the refusal in Angel’s eyes, Nuka gently tapped the table with his pink long fingernails, and the mushrooms on the tabletop hopped away one by one, finally leaving only a row of five mushrooms of different colors.

These five mushrooms were all the finest that Nuka personally cultivated.

As the Minister of Agriculture, the mushrooms he cultivated were naturally extraordinary.

Angel originally intended to refuse, but as the Lunatic Tome, acting as an interpreter, spoke of the effects of the first mushroom, Angel swallowed his rejection.

The Fungal Bloom, a mushroom with the effect of stabilizing half-dimension spatial fluctuations. Angel’s Luxury Nightmare Realm, in a broader sense, is also a half-dimension, albeit in its infancy; and the Wilderness of Dreams could also be considered an unusual half-dimension.

The Fungal Bloom can stabilize spatial fluctuations within a half-dimension, which is a very commendable effect. Having a stable space is essential for conducting many activities, just like in the Abyss, where all Witcher Organizations build their frontline cities in areas where space is stable, it is the same rationale.

The effect of the Fungal Bloom is already quite good, so the effects of the other four mushrooms are naturally not lacking.

Among them, what caught Angel’s eye the most were “Yamen” and “Omnipotent”.

The Yamen Mushroom, like the Fungal Bloom, possesses spatial properties, but while the Fungal Bloom can only be applied to a half-dimension, the Yamen Mushroom can be used in reality as well. Its shape resembles a tall tree, and its effect is that a door can be opened at the mushroom body to enter a sub-space channel and finally exit at another Yamen Mushroom.

In other words, its effect is for short to mid-distance teleportation.

The Yamen Mushroom’s advantage lies in its ability to conduct spatial teleportation with very little cost.

Its downside is that once planted, the Yamen Mushroom cannot be moved. It’s like a fixed “Teleportation Array”. Moreover, the other Yamen Mushroom to which it transmits must be of the same mycelial origin; otherwise, transmission is not possible.

Additionally, it costs a lot of resources to cultivate the Yamen Mushroom to maturity.

However, none of these concerns apply to Angel. Because he never intended to keep the Yamen Mushroom for himself; once he leaves, he can hand it over to the higher-ups of the Barbarian Cave for processing.

Due to unfounded fears, the Barbarian Cave did not ask the Sky Mechanical City to help build a Teleportation Array, so what the Barbarian Cave lacks the most currently is a Teleportation Array. Although the Yamen Mushroom cannot facilitate long-distance teleportation, it can be planted in neutral areas with Teleportation Arrays.

For example, plant a Yamen Mushroom in the Barbarian Cave and another in a Wizard Market with a Teleportation Array. One could thereby leverage the Wizard Market’s Teleportation Array to reach the Sky Mechanical City, which connects far and wide.

This is great news for both Official Wizards and Apprentices and is also very cost-effective.

Aside from the Yamen Mushroom, the other mushroom that Angel valued was the “Omnipotent”.

The Omnipotent Mushroom lives up to its name; it indeed is very versatile. It undergoes self-correction throughout its growth cycle based on the cultivator’s thoughts, ultimately achieving the effect the cultivator desires to present.

For example, if you want it to become a Mushroom House, during its growth phase, it will develop into a Mushroom House. Ultimately, the furniture inside the Mushroom House, even the plumbing, can be entirely made for you.

Of course, a Mushroom House is just a low-level application. The cultivation of the Omnipotent Mushroom is more about the cultivator’s own creativity.
