Chapter 193 192. Rely on the yellow book?
"Boss! The dungeon is going to be destroyed!"
Inanna, who had just reconnected to the fungus network, immediately delivered this explosive bad news.
It's just... why is there a hint of excitement mixed in with this emotional fluctuation?
I'm your eldest son and I'm about to become homeless. Why are you so happy?
"Boss, now that the dungeon is gone, do you want to move? I have a forest over there..."
"Can you tell me what happened first? Why is the dungeon about to disappear?" Lin Jun asked.
"That's...that's what the scholar Guge said!" Inanna tried hard to organize her words, "He said that the core is broken...it can't be fixed by magic or something...um...some other structure collapsed...collapsed? Or locked?" She tried her best to recall Guge's obscure professional terms, her little face wrinkled into a ball, and the information that finally popped out was still fragmented and chaotic.
"Stop! Stop it!" Lin Jun quickly stopped this disastrous information transmission.
Fortunately, this confused guy was not the only one heading to the core this time.
"Aidin, what's the situation at the core of the dungeon?" Lin Jun asked in private.
"Ah! Boss!" Lin Jun's voice suddenly rang in his mind, and the corner of Aidin's eyes twitched slightly.
He quickly collected his thoughts, regained his expressionless look, and calmly and clearly repeated Guge's analysis and conclusions in the fungus network.
Although not every word was correct, the key information - the core was about to shut down, the underlying technology was missing, and human maintenance methods were completely ineffective - were all conveyed accurately.
As expected of a wizard who could reach diamond level by his own ability, his reliability and organization are totally different from that silly little girl who relies entirely on her family's resources and can't even speak clearly!
Lin Jun still didn't understand some of the more professional terms in what Aidin recounted, but he was clear that humans could not save the core.
Tsk!
Waste human!
Seeing the Sword Master leading the team and making such a big scene, I thought he was very capable, but in the end, he was helpless and was ready to walk away? !
Lin Jun cursed a lot, but he actually had no idea - how could a mushroom like him repair the core that even human experts couldn't?
If Lin Jun had nails, she would have started biting them now.
Sad! Really sad!
He took out a yellow book that had been placed under the butt of the self-exposed fat otaku Puji for half a month.
[Norris! You finally came to pick me up! ! ! ]
However, there was only a voice in front of it, acting as a megaphone.
[Hmm? Ah? Boss!]
[What's the matter?]
"I have a question for you." It was the same unpleasant, trembling voice.
[How small?] Yellow Book cautiously probed.
"It's just a small matter of... whether or not to throw you into the space rift next to you." The tone was as calm as if he was discussing the weather.
[……]
It took a long time.
[You…you say! I will tell you everything I know!]
"You said before that the problem of the dungeon lies in the core. Now it has been confirmed that it is indeed caused by the core. But the problem is," Lin Jun's voice was a little irritated, "even the so-called experts of humans are helpless and have declared that the core is beyond saving. Even if we find the core, what can we do?"
[Humans went to repair the core?]
After being suppressed for more than half a month, Yellow Book had no idea what was happening outside.
Lin Jun briefly explained the current situation and Guge’s core conclusions.
[Ha! Trash human!]
The Yellow Book seems to be full of contempt for humanity.
[What kind of background can the United Kingdom, which has only a history of 300 years, have? They are just a bunch of frogs in a well! Boss, you shouldn't have had any hope for them from the beginning!]
It was so excited that the pages were shaking slightly.
[Take me there! I'm 80% sure I can restore the dungeon to its original state!]
"Eighty percent?"
[Well... we have to leave some room for unforeseen accidents...] Yellow Book explained.
"Then tell me how you plan to repair it?" Lin Jun asked.
[If there is a problem inside the core, then of course we need to find the broken part and repair or replace it! But how to do it specifically... we need to see the situation inside the core with our own eyes before we can decide, right?]
It suddenly changed the subject and became a bit flattering.
[Um... Boss, I have a small, insignificant request]
"you say."
[In the future, when the dungeon is really repaired and you have mastered the core, will you be able to...]
"If you can do that, I will no longer restrict your food intake."
[The boss is wise!!! Long live the boss!!!]
"One last question."
[Boss, feel free to ask!]
"After the core is repaired, will all the cracks disappear instantly?"
[No, just like a crack gradually expands, it will also gradually close when it is repaired.]
After asking the question, I stuffed the yellow book back under the elastic butt of the cat, and this time it didn't even complain.
If possible, Lin Jun still hopes that humans can repair the underground city, at least they will not use any tricks.
As for the yellow book?
In other words, Lin Jun had no choice but to repair the core. Otherwise, it would be safest to put aside the yellow book and slowly study the core on his own.
Unfortunately, time waits for no one.
However, handing over the crucial mission concerning the survival of the entire dungeon to a guy who seemed unreliable in every way... Lin Jun had to make other backup preparations.
At least, during the critical moment of repair, the main body must not stay in the Amethyst Dungeon!
Otherwise, if it's not done well, there will be a huge underworld split that everyone loves to see, and then we won't have anywhere to escape.
If you are lucky, you may be thrown into some unknown corner and start all over again; if you are unlucky, you may drift directly into the void and experience those desperate journeys of disappearance firsthand.
Safe! Safe! Safe again!
This is what Lin Jun wants all along!
At present, there are two optional temporary shelters. One is naturally the surface, but humans are so sensitive to Puji now, so this option is quite risky.
The second one...is naturally the cracks that have already opened.
Not to mention the void, the cursed environment under the slime's butt is still too harsh and cannot be considered for the time being.
In comparison, Chis's place seems to be just a little colder... While my own dungeon is being "renovated", I guess my good neighbor Chis won't have any objections to staying there for a while, right?
Of course, although the Chiss family was chosen as the priority, Lin Jun would not give up the option of the surface.
The more options you have, the better.
Therefore, even though the Amethyst Dungeon is about to be destroyed and the reason for humans to attack Puji has almost disappeared, Lin Jun still decided to perform the planned scene!
——
In the expert team whose morale was a little low, Aidin, holding the special crystal in his hand, suddenly stopped.
"My micro illusion reconnaissance body... may have captured the trace of King Puji." Aidin glanced around and his eyes finally fell on Sword Master and Fifteen.
"In this deep area?!" Fifteen blurted out in surprise, with disbelief.
Although I know there are Puji here, but running from the fifth floor to the deep area...
"I think so." Aidin said without further ado. The magic power flowed through his palms, projecting the image in the crystal.
In a cave full of fungal carpets and Puji, a special Puji equipped with a red cloak, a silver pendant, and a large shield, sits high on a fat Puji mushroom cap like a king.
When Fifteen's eyes fell upon the familiar round shield, especially the two clear and intersecting sword marks on the shield, he immediately confirmed, "That's it!"
Aidin looked at the Sword Master and asked, "So... should we still follow the original plan and try to 'subdue' it?"
The implication is clear: the destruction of the dungeon is a foregone conclusion, and there seems to be no need to waste energy on Puji. It seems easier to let them perish along with the dungeon.
However, the Sword Master was obviously interested: "Oh? This is the Puji who defeated Fifteen? It looks... quite interesting." He flicked his wrist casually, "Since we bumped into each other, let's go and take a look."
Although the dungeon is destined to be destroyed, it does not mean that it will collapse tomorrow. According to Gu Ge, this process will probably last about half a year, so no one objects to the Sword Master's desire to take a detour.
