Chapter 439, Section 438: Cultivation
Lin Jun realized long ago that to level up, she needed to kill more monsters and dissect more corpses than those adventurers.
He had made many guesses, one of the more plausible ones being that all the actions, whether it was killing monsters, decomposing them, or collecting energy through creep, were done by the creep and Puji that extended from him, rather than by his main body.
Experience can be greatly lost during the transmission process, which can be seen from the efficiency of using Puji to practice skills.
If he could truly gain proficiency without any loss, wouldn't he be able to gain the equivalent of thirty years of skill from someone else by casually practicing with tens of thousands of Puji in a single day?
However, the reality is that although the practice efficiency is indeed not low, it is far from reaching such an incredible level.
Lin Jun always thought that the experience and proficiency had been greatly reduced when they were passed down to her.
Now it seems... that's not the case?
It's just that I need more experience to level up than others, not just twice or twice as much, but hundreds or thousands of times more.
Is it still because of the soul...?
After all, the most significant difference between himself and other beings is probably his enormous soul.
Lin Jun couldn't help but wonder, if she hadn't been reincarnated as a mushroom, but as an ordinary human or demon, would she have never been able to break through level 20 in her entire life given her experience requirements?
There are indeed quite a few individuals among both humans and demons who remain stuck at low levels throughout their lives.
Since the fungal carpet spread to the ground, Lin Jun has taken the time to carefully observe these people.
However, when perceived through [Inspiration LV7], their soul sizes are not abnormal.
Moreover, it's not that they level up slowly, but rather that after reaching a certain level, they seem to hit an invisible wall and will be stuck in place unless there are special circumstances.
Even if you put in a lot of effort, you can only climb one or two more levels at most; Old Dylan is a typical example.
This is clearly different from the current situation of Lin Jun's continuous growth, but the demand for experience is huge.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed to find that the Water of Life had limited effect on my leveling up.
But to be fair, Lin Jun's current leveling speed is already quite fast.
Since the creep network has continued to expand, the large-scale [magic gathering] combined with [photosynthesis] has made it easier for him to level up from level 63 to 64, even faster than when he went from level 60 to 61.
The [Life Essence] skill is a super-enhancing skill if used by oneself.
Lin Jun once tried to load it onto the S-class Magic Crystal Knight Puji, and the knight unleashed a power level of the Hall of Fame, and his endurance was far beyond ordinary.
Normally, it would be a waste to absorb all this life-giving water ourselves; we should distribute it.
Of course, it's diluted!
The core members definitely need to get a share, and Xiao Hei can be fed more, since her growth value is there. If it weren't for the problem of reduced effect from eating too much, Lin Jun would even want to feed her half of the Water of Life.
As for why it's half, it's because there's another promising talent in the team right now—Ming!
Physical immunity!
Lin Jun had no idea how strong it would be after it was cultivated.
I initially thought the leveling up was too slow, and that it might end up being used as a physical immunity shield like the Yellow Book. But with [Life Essence], I can quickly level it up to a pro!
As for Norris, the little pig, and the hunters, they can just drink some thin liquid.
Speaking of Ming, it's time to cultivate our relationship again.
...
Pfft—Chirp—
Puff puff puff—
Marshal Puji was still wearing that bright red cloak, sitting high on the specially made mushroom hat throne for fat otaku.
Before and after the fat otaku Puji, there are eighteen Puji honor guards.
These honor guards are all equipped with the [Chitinous Shell] skill, and have been sculpted to create a look that, while full of gaps and impractical, is quite cool.
Although Marshal Puji is not the real person, in the eyes of most residents of Fungus Castle, this is indeed Lin Jun's image, so the entourage is naturally not simple.
After passing through several caves, the demons who were planting plants or raising monsters would stop what they were doing and perform a somewhat rudimentary tribal ceremony when they saw the procession.
This wasn't Lin Jun's request, but rather because, for them, the current leader was no longer simply one or two tribal chiefs.
Anyone with a decent memory would know that if they compared the current Fungus Castle with their past tribe, the Fungus Castle's power has far exceeded the limits of a northern tribe and is developing in a direction similar to that of the King of the North.
For the people of the community who had little direct contact with Lin Jun, the leader of such a force would inevitably feel fear, admiration, respect, and longing. Under Xinghuo's deliberate guidance, this simple set of etiquette was eventually formed.
As for why Xinghuo guided things in this way, as the person in charge of diplomacy at Fungus Castle, he felt that with the leader's dignified image, it would be easier to make other tribes submit and submit.
Although no tribal chief has ever felt that Marshal Puji was imposing at first glance when they first met him...
King Puji finally arrived at a cave that had undergone extensive renovations.
Calling it a cave is no longer appropriate; it's more like a giant underground arena, with a faint smell of blood permeating the air, though Lin Jun couldn't smell it.
This is Ming's daily training ground.
The dueling arena was now piled high with all sorts of low-level monster corpses, clearly indicating that Ming had completed the first phase of his combat training for the day and was now in the second phase—fighting against humans!
Opposite Ming were several D-level personnel selected from those of similar rank to Ming.
If they can defeat Ming, they can leave the dungeon and, while concealing their identities, enjoy a wonderful week in Fungus Castle!
This reward has become the most coveted thing for these D-rank personnel, so they fought extra hard in the battle against Ming!
Of course, Ming is no harmless kitten either. Just look at the monster corpses around him. It's common for him to lose one or two D-rank personnel in duels from time to time.
Just like in the current situation, the D-level team is clearly aware of Ming's astonishing defensive capabilities. Two mages are the main attackers, while three melee fighters are responsible for restraining him. Their ultimate goal is to capture Ming.
It wasn't that they didn't want to kill him, but Ming not only had [physical immunity], but also [magic resistance] at LV9, not to mention skills like [regeneration]. Even if a low-level mage used up all their mana, they might not be able to kill him.
Today, the two sides were evenly matched. Ming was almost pinned to the ground several times, but he eventually found an opportunity. He killed a warrior with a counterattack, then kicked a mage away, and then won a crushing victory.
Leaving the arena, covered in blood and taking deep breaths to recover his strength, Ming saw Marshal Puji in the audience and immediately ran over excitedly!
His eyes were full of anticipation: "Boss! I won again today!"
The marshal stretched out his tentacles and wrapped them around Ming's blood-stained head: "Well done, as expected of my Ming! You will definitely become one of my most capable assistants in the future."
Hearing the praise from his boss, Ming smiled contentedly: "No, I will definitely become the boss's best helper!"
"You've got ambition, but you need to become stronger! Let me, your boss, lend you a hand!" With that, the Marshal stretched out his tentacles and fed Ming the fresh life-giving water.
[Level Up: LV22→LV23]
Grow up quickly...
