San Tian Liang Jue
Chapter 971 Secret Chamber Meeting with the Illusion Demon
Two hours later, in a certain normal difficulty single-player scenario.
"This place is certainly hard to find," Feng Bujue said as he stepped into the dark and gloomy basement, addressing the darkness.
Whoosh whoosh...
In the next second, a gust of wind swept through, and two rows of candles on either side of the basement lit themselves.
The candlelight illuminated the slightly cramped space, revealing three eerie figures.
"I already sent Dian San and Dao Si to pick you up, but it seems they got lost themselves..." Samodir replied.
Being the tallest, he could only sit on the ground in this space; if he stood up straight, his horns would poke the ceiling.
"Heh... no wonder you're called Mad White, you don't need our people to guide you... you can still overcome all the obstacles and come to this place," Taliohm said next.
He was still the same as ever, wearing a black robe and a gorgeous cloak; on his pale face, those unique "double pupils" were always slyly glancing at others.
"Long time no see, Mad White." The last one to respond to Jue-Ge was a giant spiritual skull – Duo Ling, "If I remember correctly, the last time we met, you borrowed something from me, and you still haven't returned it..."
"The [Mo Yao Ling Shu] no longer exists, even if I wanted to return it to you, I couldn't," Feng Bujue shrugged and replied, "However... I'm a pretty trustworthy person, as the saying goes, 'what is borrowed must be returned, and it's easy to borrow again.' To compensate for your loss, I'll give you something of similar value." As he spoke, he took out a prop from his knapsack and handed it to Duo Ling.
"This..." Duo Ling glanced at it, "...could it be the legendary 'Wo Cao Lei Nao De Zhu Gu'!"
"That's right, I accidentally obtained this thing a long time ago, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity to use it yet," Jue-Ge paused, "I thought about it, and I'll use this to compensate for your loss of the [Mo Yao Ling Shu]."
It was mentioned earlier that Feng Bujue obtained the [Wo Cao Lei Nao De Zhu Gu] in a "Ukiyo-e style grotesque scenario" and explained that it was a "mushroom that can remove multiple negative statuses," but the specific description of the item was not listed.
Here, let's reveal it...
[Name: Wo Cao Lei Nao De Zhu Gu]
[Type: Consumable]
[Quality: ???]
[Effect 1: The god of haiku is watching over me! (When the player swallows this mushroom, all mental negative statuses can be removed)]
[Effect 2: Adding mushrooms for you! (Permanently changes the art style of an NPC)]
[Note: A mysterious mushroom that grows in the northeast of a certain country.]
I believe that after reading the description of this item, everyone will understand... Like the [Chuck Norris' Shaving Razor], this is a "super-limit" item. Its quality cannot be defined, probably because the value of its two effects is completely different.
For players, this mushroom is at most "Excellent" grade, but for those NPCs, it must be a "Legendary" divine object.
"Although I also think... do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you," Feng Bujue pretended to wave the mushroom in front of Duo Ling, "But... some things have different values in different people's eyes..."
"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Duo Ling was very shrewd, he already knew what Feng Bujue was going to say next, so he interrupted directly, "We are all smart people, no need to beat around the bush with me..." He stated bluntly, "As long as you give me the mushroom, the matter of the Mo Yao Ling Shu will be written off, and... I can also give you something else in exchange."
"Then it's settled," Jue-Ge said, opening his palm.
Duo Ling immediately used telekinesis to take the [Wo Cao Lei Nao De Zhu Gu] and absorbed it into his own "mind space."
Two seconds later, he spoke again, "Aren't you afraid that I'll take the item... and break my promise?"
"Heh..." Feng Bujue replied with a relaxed expression, "Cooperation is based on mutual trust... If you are the type who would lose credibility for petty gains, then we don't need to continue talking."
"Hmph hmph..." Taliohm laughed sinisterly from the side, "Not only are you very clever... you're also very good at talking..."
Duo Ling responded coldly, "Whether the Phantom Demon Church will cooperate with you is still up for discussion... but I certainly wouldn't break my promise on such a small matter..." As he spoke, he took out another item from his mind space and manipulated it to float in front of Jue-Ge.
Feng Bujue took it and opened the game menu to take a look...
[Name: Chuck Norris' Autobiography]
[Type: Other]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Effect: Here is everything you want to know]
[Whether it can be brought out of this scenario: Yes]
[Note: One of the "CN" series items, recording one of the 100 well-known facts about Chuck Norris, bound upon pickup.
——Chuck Norris isn't actually writing the book, the words are just organizing themselves out of fear.]
"When you lifted the curse seal on 'Fu Ling,' you also found a similar item, right?" Duo Ling said after handing the book to Feng Bujue, "Then I believe you should also know how valuable these types of items are to you interdimensional travelers."
"Oh? You also know about 'Fu Ling'?" Feng Bujue asked pretendingly.
"Hmph..." Duo Ling sneered, "Why are you pretending with me?" His tone gradually turned cold as he spoke, "With your intelligence, you must have already deduced... that I was the one who caused her to become like that."
"Heh... okay, let's talk about those things later," Feng Bujue said, putting the book into his knapsack, "Let's talk about the finals of the Peak Conquest... the 'Twilight of the Gods' 'game' this time."
"Before that..." Samodir said at this moment, "I wanted to ask as soon as you entered the basement... shouldn't you and your companions be competing on a certain planet at this moment? (Because all the matches of the Four Realms War start at the same time, and all take place in the main universe of Thriller Paradise, there is a possibility that multiple teams will meet in the same world; to avoid this situation, each team is usually teleported to a different planet)"
"Oh... that..." Feng Bujue said, "That match started two hours (game time) ago, and our team won after thirty minutes, so..." He spread his hands, the rest was self-explanatory.
