Chapter 251 250. Self-produced S-class Magic Crystal
Fifth floor, Dylan's mushroom hut.
A wisp of elegant green smoke rises. It is the aromatic herbs from the distant islands, mixed with ground green mushrooms, slowly burning on the hot charcoal, releasing a unique fragrance that calms the mind.
This method of use can achieve the effect of relaxing the body and mind without directly making people unconscious like hallucinogenic spores.
Dylan nestled comfortably in the hammock woven from mycelium, crossed his legs, and enjoyed the long-lost tranquility.
No longer had to worry about exposing his "Mushroom Man" identity, no longer had to be like a frightened bird, only daring to crawl through tunnels, ride on black ships, and even sleep insecurely. Returning to this underground city was like coming home, making him relax.
Although Lin Jun has upgraded his [Mimicry] to level seven, which is enough for perfect camouflage, in this territory belonging to Mushroom and Puji, he doesn't need to disguise himself and can let his iconic green skin show through. This is the real relaxation!
His worries about his daughter Bella have not dissipated, and he will continue to inquire about information through intelligence dealers, but before obtaining more specific clues, unnecessary anxiety will only add to his troubles.
At least... there is no bad news, which is good news in itself.
Although Lin Jun asked him if he wanted to live with the others in Mushroom Garden No. 3, Dylan still preferred the familiar fifth floor, even though it had changed a lot.
Although there are some new monsters from the cracks in the dense forest on the fifth floor, the mushroom garden is still Puji's absolute territory and is safe.
On the other hand, the journey to the Stone Fort was long, and the round trip had to rely on the "air transport service" of the bat puff. Dylan really didn't want to experience the fear of being suspended in the air again and again.
On the fifth floor, only one elevator is needed...
Dylan felt that the boss was becoming more and more powerful. He could even control the hidden room. Although he didn't know why the boss called the hidden room an "elevator", this thing was indeed very useful.
Originally, it would take at least half a day to get to the surface from the fifth floor, but now it only takes a dozen minutes. This time is taken for the sake of caution, so that the "elevator" appears in a remote corner of the first floor to avoid exposure.
In short, for many reasons, Dylan chose to continue living on the fifth floor.
He was not alone. Beside him, a group of Puji were absorbing a pile of magic crystals.
The quality of these magic crystals was mixed, ranging from waste products produced on the sixth floor to B-grade magic crystals dug out from the deep areas. The Pujis rolled up these magic crystals, absorbed them cleanly and then threw the residue aside, leaving them to be cleaned up by the cows and horses.
These second-generation scouts are born for exploration. They have the ability to hide, detect, and self-destruct. They are extremely fast and good at escaping.
Considering the limited combat power of individual soldiers, if they run to the other side of the rift, they will die in two or three hits and will not be able to explore any useful information, so use [Crystal Symbiosis] to strengthen them. Not only can their abilities be improved, Lin Jun can even cast some spells through the symbiotic magic crystals!
There is no need to consume too much. It is enough to produce B-level magic crystals in Puji's body.
In this harmony.
[Skill Upgrade: Crystal Symbiosis LV7 → LV8]
!!!
All the scouts stopped moving, the fungal blanket bulged slightly, and a small bulge quickly formed.
Soon, a Puji carrying the new [Crystal Symbiosis LV8] skill was bred.
As soon as it came out, it dived into the pile of magic crystals, but this was not enough!
Soon, Niuma Puji brought in more magic crystals, including some mined A-grade magic crystals.
Lin Jun wants to see what the limit of this skill at level eight is!
Finally, after consuming enough energy to condense five standard A-grade large magic crystals, the first S-grade magic crystal created by Lin Jun himself was born!
It is only the size of a finger, and the entire manufacturing process involves astonishing losses. Strictly calculating the cost, it is definitely a huge loss, but it is of great significance!
Lin Jun finally has the ability to independently produce S-level magic crystals!
After the verification was successful, Lin Jun immediately asked Puji to stop absorbing it. It was indeed a waste.
Given Lin Jun's situation, it is estimated that he would just let Knight Puji strengthen himself like this. After all, protecting the main body is worth it no matter how expensive it is.
As for expanding the scope of use, or even achieving S-level magic crystal freedom?
It is better to wait until the skills are further upgraded and the loss is reduced. Currently, A-level magic crystals are enough for most situations.
In comparison, those two war dolls whose bodies are made up of S-level magic crystals are really outrageous. The guy who built this dungeon must have been a very rich man!
Decompose the Puji used for the experiment and collect the small S-class magic crystal.
For the skill [Crystal Symbiosis], the process of absorbing crystals is also a process of self-transformation and adaptation. Only by personally absorbing the condensed magic crystals can the amplification effect be maximized.
Non-original magic crystals can also be used, but the effect will be compromised.
Therefore, it would be a bit of a waste to give the S-level magic crystal produced by this experimental skill to the knight.
Lin Jun planned to hand it over to Fen Puji. With the connections and channels of her Duke's family, she should be able to find a skilled craftsman to make this S-level magic crystal into a practical magic accessory, such as a ring or amulet.
When it comes to equipment crafting, Aidin actually knows a little bit, but unfortunately it is limited to making those consumable props that he uses to cast illusions, and he usually uses C-level or even worse magic crystals. He would feel it is a waste if S-level magic crystals were given to him to make!
After dealing with these, Lin Jun turned back and took care of the scout Puji, but he did not rush to explore the rift immediately. Instead, he let two of them fly to the deep area. Norris, who was driving the new Jida, had been waiting for a long time.
He replaced the whip blade with a drill as he wished, and now he urgently needed a battle to test its power. Lin Jun also happened to need to test the actual combat situation of the scout Puji.
The reason why they are in the deep area is because these scouts are not equipped with [Cold Resistance].
Because the skill upgrade was delayed, when Scout Puji arrived, Norris was holding Scout Puji, the "head" of Jida, and curled up on the fungal blanket to take a nap.
His Jida squatted quietly beside him, with several mycelium tentacles extending from the neck joint, connecting to the fungal blanket for charging.
The fungal carpet beside Norris's head squirmed rapidly, and soon a speaking creature was generated.
It twisted to Norris's ear and called his name repeatedly in a tone that only he could hear, like a nightmare whisper:
"Norris~Norris~Norris~~"
The strange sound penetrated Norris's sleep. He was sleeping soundly with a frown on his face, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and his body trembling slightly.
Finally, he suddenly shuddered and sat up in shock!
“Ha…ha…” Norris gasped for breath, feeling a little relieved when he felt the familiar touch of Scout Puji in his arms.
He looked around in confusion, but the language that created the whispers, Puji, had already quietly disintegrated and disappeared.
"Norris, are you okay? Did you have a nightmare? If you feel uncomfortable, the test can be rescheduled." Lin Jun's concerned voice sounded directly in his mind.
Hearing the boss's voice, Norris immediately remembered the purpose of his stay here, and slapped his cheeks hard to dispel the remaining sleepiness and the inexplicable chill.
"No, no! Boss, I'm fine, there's absolutely no problem!"
Norris quickly got into Jida, followed closely by Scout Puji. Feeling Scout Puji's butt on his head, Norris exhaled: "Boss, I'm ready!"
