Chapter 312 311. The Boss is Always Too Kind
In the dream garden, Inanna is hosting an elegant tea party, and all the participants except Inanna are Puji.
Beside the small round table covered with a white lace tablecloth, several chubby puppies sat on specially raised children's chairs, waiting quietly and obediently.
Holding an exquisite porcelain pot, Inanna carefully filled each mini teacup in front of Puji with warm black tea, and finally poured a cup for herself.
The puffballs extended their soft mycelial tentacles, rolled up steaming cups of tea, and gracefully poured the tea onto their round mushroom caps.
Inanna also smiled and took a sip of black tea, immersed in the happiness and leisure that belonged only to her.
As time went by, the light around seemed to dim slightly.
Outside the originally pure white garden boundary, a woman's figure quietly appeared at some point.
She knelt quietly not far away, her long pink hair like a waterfall covering the ground and covering her face.
Although her childhood memories were already hazy, Inanna blurted out subconsciously: "Mother...?"
She couldn't help but stand up and wanted to get closer to see it more clearly.
However, just as she was about to step out of the garden boundary, several Puji immediately extended their tentacles and gently pulled at the corners of her clothes and skirt.
Inanna stopped helplessly, squatted down, and gently stroked and comforted the pussies one by one.
When they relaxed, she looked up again, but the figure that looked like her mother had disappeared without a trace.
Inanna had no choice but to return to the small table and continue the interrupted tea party.
…
"Mother..." Inanna murmured as she woke up from her sleep. Her sleepy eyes were still confused. She felt a tightness in her chest and difficulty breathing.
I felt much better after moving the thing lying across my chest.
Inanna was a little confused and didn't understand why she suddenly dreamed of her mother.
Nothing had happened recently that particularly evoked her memories. Moreover, her mother had long since faded into a vague symbol in her memory.
After all, her mother died when she was young.
Apart from the impressive long pink hair and some scattered, fragmented fragments, Inanna could not even recall her mother's specific appearance and voice.
There were no portraits or photographs of his mother in the Duke's Mansion. It was said that his father ordered them to be taken away to avoid being reminded of the past.
All in all, it was a somewhat confusing dream.
Dreaming of her mother did not make Inanna feel too sad. She had long been accustomed to days without her parents, or perhaps this was normal.
Besides, she has Pooji now!
Looking at the pussies lying all over the bed, Inanna quickly put aside the doubts in her dream and led the little ones out of the bedroom with full energy!
"Miss." When the door opened, the maid who had been waiting outside appeared.
In a distant courtyard, two gold-level guards were practicing diligently in the morning light.
Inside the manor, there were other family guards and servants busy moving around.
Ever since she decided to live in Mushroom Town permanently, Farr had not hesitated to set aside a large piece of land in the best location near the guild and built this comfortable manor for her.
Butler Eric added more guards and arranged a team of maids to take care of her daily life.
Inanna still felt strange that Eric was so understanding and even readily agreed to let her live outside the Duke's Palace for a long time. She had originally thought that it would take some effort to make her wish come true.
However, since the current situation is beneficial to her in every way, she is happy not to delve into it further.
What if asking too much reminds Eric to take her back to that dull Duke's Mansion?
Inanna was extremely satisfied with the life here.
There are Pujis accompanying you all the time, an omnipresent fungus network wrapping up your thoughts at any time, and even a boss you can chat with at any time!
"Boss, I actually dreamed about my mother..."
"I remember when I was a child, my mother always lay in bed..."
"Boss, do you have a mother?"
Lin Jun: “???”
After completing her daily exchange with the boss, where "Inanna said five sentences and the boss replied one," Inanna contentedly picked up her knight Puji and walked out of the mansion with light steps.
However, the good mood did not last long.
When she saw the two so-called "Puji Masters" in the distance who were excitedly competing with each other to see how powerful their "Mushroom Cannons" were, her originally bright mood was quickly overshadowed by a layer of gloom.
If there is anything that has made her deeply unhappy recently, it must be these "Puji Masters" who suddenly appeared.
At first, he was just a lucky guy who accidentally became symbiotic with the mycelium and gained the ability to control Puji; then, a madman appeared who was willing to seriously injure himself and actively seek symbiosis!
The latter not only recorded the symbiotic method in detail and sold it to the guild, but also sold it widely among adventurers, attracting many imitators who were eager to try it.
Although the absolute number of such people is not too large at present, the trend is obvious and there will only be more and more of them in the future.
Even though the guild issued a notice detailing the various unknown hazards and risks that this form of symbiosis may bring, many people still could not resist the temptation of easily gaining power.
Inanna hated these guys from the bottom of her heart. She couldn't even sense them in the fungus web, which was completely different from Aidin's situation.
Not to mention, they had no mercy on Puji and only saw naked exploitation in their eyes.
Look at those two people, they are comparing Puji's damage, just like comparing whose sword is sharper and whose shield is stronger. In their hands, Puji is just a tool, a consumable.
They drove the Puji to fight, and when they were exhausted, they would capture new Puji without any regret, and the cycle continued over and over again.
If possible, Inanna really wanted to stand up and strictly prohibit this behavior as the Duke's daughter, but unfortunately the boss did not agree.
The boss is good in every way except that he is too kind. In order to get along with humans in a friendly manner, he constantly puts himself and Puji in a difficult position. Only Inanna speaks up for Puji in her heart.
However, she also understood that even if she really stepped forward to stop it, it would probably be futile.
The Duke's power is not omnipotent, especially in the face of this trend of pursuing power.
Therefore, she could only bury this dissatisfaction deep in her heart and silently hate those "Puji masters" who regarded Puji as a tool.
Out of sight, out of mind, Inanna turned around and left with Puji and the guards.
…
The two newly promoted "Puji Masters" had no idea that they had been disliked by the Duke's daughter. They had just made a major discovery - the properties of these Pujis were not the same!
People only know that Puji's strength is divided into several major categories: the King of Puji in the hands of the Duke's daughter, the fat Puji or elite Puji below him, and finally the ordinary Puji that are everywhere.
But now they have discovered that there are differences among ordinary Puji!
Some of the same species of Puji have higher attributes!
