Chapter 142 139. Lease
The entrance to the dungeon.
Feeling proud of himself and having tasted the sweetness of success, Horn was ready to enter the dungeon again, but this time his teammates were replaced.
After the last mission, although his jealous old teammates did not kick him out of the team directly, they all quit the team one by one, and then formed a "new team".
The Horn's comment on this is that they are a bunch of fools who are blinded by their emotions.
He did not sell the Agility +2 dagger that represented his luck, but carried it with him to improve his combat effectiveness.
His teammates have obviously become stronger, but they leave him behind out of jealousy. Isn't this stupid?
Fortunately, Horn was not interested in being with that group of idiots. With his shining dagger, he quickly found a newly formed team.
Now the four of them are doing the final check outside the dungeon gate.
The newly formed team has not yet had time to work together, so in order to prevent accidents, mutual confirmation before entering is essential.
For example, since there is no mage in their team, torches or oilcloth needed to make torches are indispensable items.
After checking everything, the new team finally entered the dungeon.
As soon as they came in, the four were attracted by the crowd gathered at the edge of the hall.
Something must have happened, otherwise no one would stay here.
Adventurers can be said to be one of the most gossipy groups. No one would refuse to watch something fun, so the four of them naturally joined in.
Someone in the crowd noticed Horn, and he was obviously an acquaintance. He greeted him, "Hey, Horn, I heard you got something good on the fifth floor?"
Adventurers are the most gossipy group, so naturally, the news that Horn had the bad luck to win the grand prize spread quickly.
Horn did not hide anything. He pulled out the dagger with a glowing blade and played with it, making the other party cry out in envy.
After showing off, Horn also asked: "What are you doing blocking here?"
It was indeed congested. The hall at the entrance to the dungeon was connected to eight passages, and this was one of them. There were more than ten people standing in the corridor, which was only four or five people wide.
"There's a group of Pooji at the door!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the hand holding the horn and forced his way through the crowd.
After squeezing out, Horn almost thought he was hallucinating. Fat Puji actually came to the door of the first floor?
However, unlike the fifth floor, there were many ordinary Pujis gathered around this fat Puji, all sitting obediently on the fungal carpet.
"What's going on?" asked Horn.
The acquaintance shrugged, saying he didn't know yet.
Suddenly, an adventurer who seemed to be from outside the area said something that made everyone present shudder: "Huh? Are there monsters for free at the entrance of this dungeon?"
The person who spoke was a warrior, and he drew the long sword from his waist as he spoke.
Just as he drew out his sword, the warrior was kicked down by someone, and then he was attacked by fists and kicks from the people around him.
"Go die if you want to! And you want to drag me down with you!"
"Does the stinky outsider want to harm people?"
"I can't kill you!"
Horn also kicked it twice. Everyone knew that Fat Puji would explode if he got beaten. If it really exploded here, at least half of the people present would die!
After driving away that stupid soldier, many people realized the hidden dangers of staying here and left one after another and stopped joining in the fun, so the place suddenly became less crowded.
Horn had originally planned to throw a monster over to see what would happen, but apparently he was not the only one who thought of this, as an adventurer carrying the corpse of a Rottenfang Hound ran over.
Fat Puji stretched out its mycelium tentacles and stuffed the monster's corpse into its body. Then it pushed out a Puji that was sitting on the fungal carpet in a daze.
The tentacle pressed on Puji's mushroom cap...and Puji lit up!
Adventurer: ???
Puji, with an orange-yellow glow, followed the adventurer who gave the monster's corpse with his short legs. For every two steps the adventurer took, Puji would take four steps to catch up.
Adventurer:!!!
The adventurer also tried to press Puji's mushroom cap, and the light on Puji's body flickered twice and then went out!
“Oh~!”
There were exclamations from other people around.
Seeing this, Horn discussed with his teammates and also hunted a prey and took away a lighting Puji.
Everyone wanted to try this new thing, and even some teams with mages took one away out of curiosity.
Along the way, they figured out some tricks.
Puji will only follow you on one level. There is a fat Puji at the entrance of each staircase. You need to hire new monster corpses on a new level.
On the second floor, their lighting officer Puji was accidentally crushed to death by a scorpion. When they reached the third floor, Fat Puji actually ignored them.
It was not until they gave away three monster corpses that they were able to borrow some lighting.
The energy of a lighting Puji can only last for a whole day at most. After it goes out, it will still follow you and wait for you to bring it back to Fat Puji.
The brightness of the lighting lamp is several times that of a torch, and the effect is quite good. The rental price of one monster corpse per floor is acceptable for a team without a mage.
The downside is that it's too easy to die...
…
Lin Jun quietly observed the adventurers' reactions.
He was very satisfied to see that the new business was developing smoothly.
After being blocked on the eighth floor, he began to prepare to attack the rift.
However, after discovering that the rift was difficult to pass last time, Lin Jun gave up the high-maintenance fungal blanket and now has to lay it again.
At the same time, the air combat Puji, which is suitable for expeditions to rift environments, also takes some time to produce.
Lin Jun used this free time to repeatedly practice drawing magic circles.
These lighting products are by-products of his practice, and it would be a bit of a waste to just recycle them.
We might as well come up with a follow-lighting service. Earning monster corpses is secondary. The main thing is to continue to increase adventurers' acceptance of Puji.
Maybe in the future we can launch services like luggage check-in and underground canteen.
Use the convenient Puji service to slowly corrupt adventurers, and eventually train them to the point where they can't explore the dungeon without Puji!
Of course, this project is still in its early stages and there are many problems.
For example, since the lighting fixtures are all hand-made by Lin Jun, the quality varies, and some lighting fixtures that do not meet the quality standards will suddenly turn off.
Fortunately, the dungeon does not have a rating system, so adventurers who have been cheated cannot come and give bad reviews.
Puji also does not support returns or exchanges, and their main policy is that they are not responsible after the goods leave the counter.
——
Lin Jun's evil plan to corrupt adventurers has just begun. At the same time, a team heading to Dumb Wind Town also set out from Oath City.
The gorgeous carriage at the head was engraved with a striking sword and shield emblem, and the gold line on the edge of the emblem indicated the important status of the person in the carriage in the Adventurer's Guild.
Behind them followed a large carriage carrying eight civilian staff and four gold-level guards on horseback.
