Wu Xiangwang once believed that having a good face meant having everything. As long as he looked good, he could completely be a vase and a carefree immortal.
Until he fell into a terrifying w...
Wu Xingyun originally had not planned to show Wu Xiangwang his newly grown mushroom so early. After all, that mushroom did not look like a cute and good mushroom, and he himself had not yet grasped the specific effects of the blue-purple mushroom with twisted patterns.
But now it was time to use the mushroom! If he didn't take out the mushroom, he would have to take off his clothes, and once he took off his clothes, he felt that he was doomed.
This is my intuition about danger over the years.
Wu Xiangwang lowered his hand, which was about to take off his shirt, upon hearing Wu Xingyun's words. He blinked and asked, "You're growing mushrooms again? When did they grow? What kind of mushrooms?"
In fact, when he was taking off his clothes, he also had a subtle sense of guilt as if he was being stared at. He guessed that Lin Yuan was squatting in some corner nearby.
He didn't show up because he didn't want to bother talking to other people. Everyone had almost gotten used to this person's social anxiety and indifference except for him, but his absence didn't mean he really couldn't see it.
He was a man who would never miss any key discovery, as if the whole world had his eyes.
So Wu Xiangwang quickly put down his hands that were about to take off his clothes and turned his attention to Wu Xingyun's hands.
It was a blue and green mushroom with twisted patterns on the back that even looked a bit like a crying ghost face.
Anyone who first glances at this mushroom will think it's not a good one. The pattern is likely poisonous or, like those found in Yunnan, hallucinogenic, causing you to see dancing figures after eating it.
Wu Xiangwang was obviously a little surprised by the appearance of this mushroom. He glanced at Wu Xingyun with a subtle look. Did this unfortunate mushroom have a fierce tiger in its heart, so it could grow such a ferocious-looking mushroom?
"Dad, don't look at me like that. I am very innocent, harmless and kind!" Wu Xingyun felt very wronged when he received Wu Xiangwang's gaze. That was why he wanted to hide the mushrooms first. Otherwise, judging people by the mushrooms would always lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.
Wu Xiangwang nodded perfunctorily: "I understand, of course you are a good mushroom. The one in your hand is just a mutation."
"So, do you know what the properties of this mushroom are? Is it highly toxic? Hallucinogenic? Or can it spray poison gas, absorb other people's life force, or something like that?"
Wu Xingyun's brows twitched at this. "Although my mushroom looks a little unusual, who says that something like this has to be poisonous, hallucinogenic, or life-sucking? Maybe it's a mushroom that looks fierce but has a gentle heart and is incredibly nourishing!"
Don’t forget each other: “…” I just looked at you quietly without saying anything.
Wu Xingyun: "...Okay."
"Actually, I don't know the properties of this mushroom. The previous one grew when I was desperate to save someone. This one grew next to the wheat field when everyone was feeling depressed."
Wu Xingyun looked carefully at the mushroom in his hand, his expression somewhat melancholic: "I have a suspicion that eating this mushroom might make people depressed..."
After all, he felt that the type of mushrooms looked like had something to do with his mood.
If that's the case, then this mushroom of his is definitely useless in this city. This city is already depressing enough, and if someone eats a mushroom that makes people feel depressed, wouldn't that kill them directly?
But Wu Xiangwang felt that this mushroom should not be the dejection mushroom.
Wu Xingyun was his original teammate, whom he had known since the Novice Village. Back then, he was much more depressed than he is now. If he had grown a dejection mushroom, it would have grown long ago. However, the first thing that grew out of Wu Xingyun was the edible off-white oyster mushroom, commonly known as a mushroom.
That's for defense.
In the City of Fear, Wu Xingyun's biggest fear was bringing disaster to others and being afraid of harming others. At that time, his discouragement value should have been very high, but in the end he grew "Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms" that could restore blood and replenish vitality. Although this was related to the positive brainwashing he had been subjected to all the way, his heart was also kind and firm at that time.
He had survived the misfortunes and the City of Fear when he first arrived in this world, so there was no reason for him to become depressed when he saw others depressed in the City of Exile.
He should be just like he is now. Wu Xingyun must be one of the people in this city who is least likely to be affected by that kind of negative energy.
Thinking this, Wu Xiangwang reached out and grabbed a small piece of mushroom and stuffed it into his mouth.
Wu Xingyun was so frightened that he almost jumped up: "Dad! You can't do that!!"
Wu Xiangwang had already stuffed the mushroom into his mouth. With his strong vitality, he was fearless. As long as he survived, nothing would matter to him.
Moreover, when he plucked the small mushroom, it did not turn into a ball of energy in his hand. This means that the mushroom itself contains energy and can be eaten directly.
So under Wu Xingyun's worried and anxious gaze, Wu Xiangwang ate the small piece of mushroom. He smacked his lips and didn't feel anything wrong, nor did he feel abundant energy. He just stuffed the whole mushroom with the blue and purple pattern twisted like a crying face into his mouth.
This time, Wu Xiangwang finally felt a little different energy.
Then, facing Wu Xingyun's anxious gaze, he twitched his lips and expressed his thoughts on the taste: "It's inedible!"
Wu Xingyun: “.”
I warned you not to eat it a long time ago, but you still ate it!
After Wu Xiangwang finished speaking, he stood there motionless. Wu Xingyun thought he was planning some big move, but he was soon horrified to find that his powerful brother Wangwang was visibly depressed.
He first frowned and looked at the clothes he was wearing and his arms and legs, as if he was not satisfied with the style of the clothes and the shape of his arms and legs, and sighed three times in succession.
Then he frowned and took out a small palm-sized mirror from his pocket. He looked up and down, left and right, and suddenly his eyes turned red.
"What a sin! I actually have dark circles under my eyes! There are bloodshot eyes, and there are several small wounds on my body! My beautiful face is gone!"
“Ohhhhhhhhhh!”
Wu Xingyun was numb.
At this time, Wang Xiao was settling accounts with gritted teeth, Shang Chong was gloomily pinching the thunder ball, Liusha had moved from hiding in the corner to hiding in his own space and disappeared, and the monk and the Taoist priest were still meditating with their eyes closed.
"Let this damn city be destroyed!" Qian Bao held a red soft object in his hand and was about to smash it down.
Wu Xingyun screamed and swung his big mushroom to smash the money under the mushroom.
"Calm down, Brother Bao! It's not that serious yet!"
At this time, Wu Xingyun felt the pain of fighting alone.
"Brother Wangwang! Dad Wangwang!! Wake up! Ahhhh!" There are too many sad things, and he can't handle it all by himself!
Perhaps Wu Xingyun's cry was emotionally charged, or perhaps Wu Xiangwang's vitality was indeed strong enough.
After Wu Xiangwang held his face and sobbed for three minutes, he suddenly stopped holding his face and sobbing, and the expression on his face was indescribable.
In those three minutes, he had completely disgraced himself as a man of honor. Fortunately, Lin Yuan was not there!
"...I think I know what your mushroom is used for."
Wu Xiangwang's voice still sounded a bit sad, but this kind of sadness was a kind of shameful sadness.
"I know now! It's a dejected mushroom." He still thought that his mushroom was not a bad mushroom.
Wu Xingyun used a large mushroom to pin down Qianbao, preventing him from moving. "Brother, come and help! Qianbao isn't depressed, he's gone crazy! He wants to set all those explosives on fire!"
Wu Xiangwang walked over and directly put all the explosives into his own little snail shell hut. Then he smiled and shook his head at Wu Xingyun, "That mushroom isn't really a depressing mushroom in the true sense of the word. Although eating it does make people depressed, it should have other important uses."
"Can you still grow mushrooms like that now? Come on, grow me another blue-green mushroom."
Wu Xingyun's heart trembled a little: "Then you can't eat it anymore!"
Wu Xiangwang nodded: "Of course. I definitely won't eat it this time."
So Wu Xingyun stretched out his hand and grew a second mushroom with twisted blue and purple patterns.
Wu Xiangwang took the mushroom again, but this time he did not eat it. Instead, he took out a large golden bowl with soil from the snail shell hut and planted the mushroom directly in it.
Wu Xingyun was stunned: "Can mushrooms survive if they are planted like this?"
Wu Xiangwang squinted at him and said, "I don't know if other mushrooms are okay, but do you think your mushrooms are normal mushrooms?"
Ultimately, it is just a form of energy.
This mushroom, which carries negative energy itself, is expected to thrive in a city full of negative energy.
After all, this is a very nourishing growth environment, right?
Wu Xingyun shut his mouth.
He looked at his mushrooms and at first didn't quite understand what Brother Wangwang wanted to do.
But ten minutes later, he felt the difference.
"Wangwang! Brother Wangwangwang!" Wu Xingyun pointed at the mushroom in the golden bowl in surprise: "Look at this mushroom! Hasn't it grown a lot bigger than before?!"
Wu Xiangwang nodded as he looked at the mushroom whose color was becoming increasingly blue-purple and whose twisted pattern was looking more and more like a crying face.
"I've definitely grown up."
If this mushroom was only half the size of a palm when it was planted, it is now probably as big as a palm.
It grew a circle in ten minutes. This growth rate is a bit fast.
But this is not the point. After Wu Xiangwang made sure that the mushrooms were growing, he turned to look at the few friends in the house who were in unstable conditions.
Then he saw the shift that made him guess.
Wang Xiao stopped counting on his fingers and looked at the property losses on Earth that he had calculated. He froze for a long moment before pushing his glasses up: "..."
Shang Chong suddenly felt the lightning ball in his hand prick his hand, and then he wiped his face. "Damn it, just now my mind kept thinking about my father's poor health and sudden illness, my mother and my sister were kicked out of the house by my uncle, and their property was plundered. Fuck, just thinking about it makes me feel upset and angry. Why did I suddenly think like that?"
Liusha's head popped out from the corner where he had disappeared. He was silent, but at least his body came out.
Even Qianbao, who was the most affected and wanted to blow up the city, crawled out from under the giant mushroom and said, "Why are you using mushrooms to crush me? I was just shouting for show! I didn't intend to really blow up the house, okay!"
Wu Xingyun curled his lips and said, "I really should get a video recorder to show you how red and crazy your eyes were before."
However, Wu Xingyun paused mid-pout and shouted out in surprise, "Oh my God! Brother Shang! Brother Wang! Liusha and Brother Bao, you're actually healed!!"
Have you guys recovered? Has your positive IQ regained its upper hand? How did you get better? You really scared me just now!
Then Wu Xingyun heard two familiar voices that he had previously found annoying but now found very pleasant.
"Amitabha. The negative energy in this room has decreased a lot. This is probably why you are gradually recovering."
"Wulian Tianzun! Explain clearly, boy! Where did that weird crying mushroom come from? It's absorbing the negative energy in the room."
When Wu Xingyun heard this, he was stunned for a moment. When he turned around and looked at the mushrooms in the golden bowl, his eyes were emitting a light of incomparable relief!
He said so! His mushrooms are all good mushrooms! They are all big, good mushrooms!
But Wu Xingyun was a little surprised when he saw it. How long had it been? The palm-sized mushroom had grown to the size of two palms.
Wu Xingyun suddenly swallowed unconsciously.
Ah, this...
Could it be that this mushroom of his...will grow into a towering mushroom in this city?
In fact, it doesn’t matter how big it is. It’s just that when it grows up, it will contain so much negative energy. If it is eaten by someone... what will happen then?
It wouldn't kill you instantly after just one bite, would it?!
