A person in distress wanders to this planet.
The planet is dark and desolate, with only stranded people and mushrooms.
People eat mushrooms, and people grow mushrooms.
Mushrooms are food, life, and hope for people.
The mushrooms on this planet are a bit unique; for some unknown reason, one mushroom gained sentience.
A person plants a mushroom, and the mushroom calls the person "Mom".
Regardless of gender, whoever raised it is its mother (based on the remaining bone fragments and skull, Xia Chuhe could not tell whether the person was male or female, and gender was not important on a planet with only one person).
Mom wanted more food, more sunshine, and more seeds.
The mushroom mycelium grew very, very long, reaching places that were difficult for the mother to reach, reaching places where it encountered seeds.
The mushroom brought many seeds to Mom.
With the seeds, Mom had more food, and the mushrooms were gradually forgotten, since eating mushrooms in the dark for a long time would really harm her taste buds.
The neglected mushrooms were abandoned in the darkness, gradually withering, rotting, and...mutating.
Until it mutated into a powerful monster and found its mother.
...
As for the insects that feed on the corpses, they are simply mushroom mycelia absorbing nutrients from the corpses.
Botanical gardens and the like are complete illusions.
Mushrooms hate plants, and they hate humans.
The mutual destruction between plants and humans is a trick to please them.
...
Xia Chuhe was able to understand the person who had fallen on hard times to some extent.
As human beings, who doesn't want to enjoy some good food? Who could stand eating mushrooms every day...?
However, there were things Xia Chuhe couldn't understand. Since the mushrooms had developed sentience and could find plant seeds, why would they discard mushrooms with such high residual value?
...
After the mushroom was planted inside the man with the gap-toothed teeth, his chest and abdomen visibly deflated.
However, it will probably take some time to return to normal.
Xia Chuhe, dragging his body dripping with bodily fluids, shakily approached the corpse at the bottom of the pit: "Is it still alive? If it is, move a little."
A finger bone slowly crawled out from under the sleeve, rose very, very little, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Xia Chuhe thought to himself, "This unlucky guy is still alive," but he said sincerely, "Let's go out together later."
The finger bones stopped moving, as if they had completely lost their strength.
Xia Chuhe plopped down next to the corpse, waiting for the mushroom to "bloom and bear fruit" inside the gap-toothed man's body.
Xia Chuhe had no idea what kind of fruit it would produce.
The wait was unbearable. Xia Chuhe muttered to the corpse, "I wonder how long you've been stuck here? What are you going to do when you get out? Do you have any friends? Which base are you from? What's your special ability? Why are you doing this dungeon alone...?"
The corpse didn't answer, so Xia Chuhe muttered to himself, "I haven't eaten in ages, my mouth is so bland. I want hot pot, barbecue..."
"I'll never eat mushrooms again. But if there are termite mushrooms or porcini mushrooms, I might have a bite..."
"If only I were from Yunnan, maybe all of this would just be because I ate undercooked mushrooms. When I wake up, I'll be lying in the hospital, happily waiting to be discharged and eat delicious food..."
...
Xia Chuhe's mind was hazy, he was muttering to himself, and his eyes were blurry.
The dungeon has stood the test of time, but its core shines brightly.
After an unknown period of time, the man with the gap-toothed tooth's body finally gave birth to something that emitted golden light.
Xia Chuhe shakily crawled back, utterly disgusted with his own crawling behavior.
Before taking away the core, Xia Chuhe first used his healing ability to check on the gap-toothed man's condition.
The healing ability couldn't cure the gap-toothed man, but it could see his health bar, and he was still alive!
Xia Chuhe took out his sickle and swiftly brought it down.
His ravaged body was incredibly fragile, and Xia Chuhe seemed to hear the crunching sound of a crisp biscuit breaking.
After killing the man with the gap-toothed tooth, Xia Chuhe picked up the golden light from the corpse.
The golden light was a round ball, soft and very resilient.
Xia Chuhe brought the golden light into the farm and waited for the instance to collapse.
After waiting for ages, the instance still didn't move.
Xia Chuhe opened the farm, and there was a new letter on the farm—
An S-grade item, Eye of Malice, has been detected. It allows you to see the person who harbors the most malice towards you. Cooldown: 24 hours (effective when equipped). Reward: 25 experience points. Current experience: 90/100.
Wearing...
Is this what she meant by wearing it?
Now, the only "living" creatures left in the instance are Xia Chuhe and the nameless corpse.
Xia Chuhe would slap himself twice in his dreams if he were to hand over what he had worked so hard for for half a month just because of some risks.
According to the farm's description, the worst that could happen is the loss of an eye.
Xia Chuhe covered his left eye and placed the malicious gaze in front of his right eye.
Fine, pale golden threads sprouted from the golden ball, penetrating deep into Xia Chuhe's eyes, feeling warm and comforting.
Xia Chuhe was numb with comfort. In a daze, her eyes stung as a malicious gaze pierced through them.
Xia Chuhe removed his hands from his eyes.
His left eye was lifeless, while his right eye held a hidden golden light.
The copy collapsed...
Xia Chuhe will never know that on some distant little planet, colorful mushrooms grow everywhere.
Xia Chuhe, who hadn't been breathing for a long time, unsurprisingly choked on a mouthful of sand.
Xia Chuhe coughed so hard he bent over.
A pair of dirty shoes appeared in front of me.
Ah Bao had a rope tied around his wrist, his amber eyes were bright, but his tone was somewhat pretentious: "You're back, let's go."
