Chapter 943 - The King of Mushrooms and the Tree of Thousand Wines (2/2)
“Be careful!” ThornyRose felt that those spores were dangerous but Lin Liang shook his head. “Don’t worry, it’s harmless.”
“Look!” Zhang Zhengxiong shouted as he turned around.
What came into view was that the variations of mushrooms grew once those pollen came into contact with the ground or the trees they depend on. Lin Liang came to a tree, plucked a red mushroom and sniffed it. So nice! He took a bite of it. So fresh and crunchy. It is definitely a top class ingredient, not even Matsutake can compare with it. “Oh baby…that’s my baby… quickly move it to a lower area before it is completely grown. Or else, this place will turn into a mushroom world in no time!”
Huang Zhong quickly carried it and leaped down to the low lying area. The wind was not that strong and the place was more moist. The mushroom continued to grow and soon enough, just as expected, it had turned the area into a sea of mushrooms.
“Wow, looks like we won’t be running out of mushrooms in the future…” Wu Na mumbled as she looked down from the mountain.
“We can place some animals here, or else it would be a waste.” Lin Liang stared at the sea of mushrooms. The tallest mushroom was the size of a tree while the smallest one was the size of Enokitake.
“My restaurant must be opened somewhere near this place so I can get fresh ingredients. Let’s call this mushroom the King of Mushrooms.” Those words made everyone sigh. What a waste for this good plant.
“Then, what about this seed?” Lin Le asked.
Lin Liang studied the landscape, “Give it to me. I’ll place it at the core of Feng Shui so we will have no worries about it.
Lin Liang took the seed and planted it at the location he decided on based on his calculations. The men quickly took big gulps of water so that they could pee again. The ladies were speechless at the sight of it.
However, Lin Liang’s prediction on the seed was wrong. The seed grew into a different plant which was a few times weirder. The tree had a huge base but it was not very tall, with only five to six meters of height. On top of it was a deep tank like a swimming pool and leaves were at the edge of it. Moments later, flowers bloomed, excreting fluids into the tank. An aroma that smelt like wine filled the atmosphere and Liu Bei could not resist to treat himself with a small amount of it. “It smells fresh but it’s strong when you drink it! It’s even better than Chinese white liquor!”
“Really?!” Wu Na took a sip, “This juice is so nice, with a little tinge of alcohol! What kind of cocktail is this? I’ve never drunk a cocktail this nice! And, my cousin, you’re lying. The wine is not strong at all!”
Lin Liang took a drop of it. It was as gentle as water and the aftertaste was smooth yet strong. It tastes a lot like the wine I love. “I think the wine tastes differently for everyone. It is indeed eye-opening.”
Ye Cang took a sip too. “It tastes just like beer but it isn’t as nice as the one I usually drink. What a trash. Cut it off and burn it as charcoal. What a waste of space.”
Everyone rolled their eyes at him.
Lil’Wang got the taste of Spider Lily Wine but this was much better in terms of taste and quality. He was even surprised when he got the taste of Frozen Crystal Lily Wine the second time he tried it. Huang Zhong swigged a whole jug in one go, “Nice! Strong enough! I’ll come and carry a few jars back every day!”
“Casting pearls to swine…” Cao Cao and Sun Quan looked at him with total contempt.
Lin Liang was trying to identify its source of nutrients and Ye Cang was doing the same. Yet, Ye Cang was surprised when his genes helped him get into the plant to identify it. It must be the tree in my body.
“Similarly, it has the effect of purifying the environment and replenishing the nutrients. The wine works the same as an antidote. Besides, it helps to strengthen your core… It is a treasure… Can’t believe I can find this here. Let’s go. There’s no rush to drink it now. It will be better if you let it stay for some time. I have a suggestion. How about naming this tree as the Tree of Thousand Wines?” Lin Liang suggested as he saw everyone tasted the juice excreted by the tree.
No objections were raised and they went back to the house with a heavy heart. ThornyRose then asked, “Lele, do you have any extra seeds?”
“Nope,” Lin Le opened his bag and shook his head.
Lin Liang stared at the sling bag. A space item? Must be a reward from the Battle of Hero Spirits.
Zhang Zhengxiong patted his shoulders, “Old Brother Liang, it is time for the meeting.”
All the members of the adventure team gathered in Zhang Zhengxiong’s room.
“We’ll make a comeback after the embarrassment in the Big Four. So, this nightclub is our hope! Brother Xiong and I have discussed. Once we succeed in conquering a club, we will persuade the defeated enemy to work for us. Firstly, it is to show our war trophy. Secondly, it is the romance of an adventurer…” Jia Xu could not agree more. This idea is amazing. Our Lord is truly talented! This makes conquering more worthy and it gives us a great sense of accomplishment too.
“The Stage of Bronze Peacock…” Lin Liang mumbled as he looked at Cao Cao.
“Let’s call it The Stage of Bronze Peacock!” Cao Cao suggested.
“No, The Palace of Han sounds nicer,” Liu Bei shook his head.
“Hey, you two, can’t you guys set a better name? Those sound so outdated and cheap. I think it should be named as Lady Bu’s Place.”
“You asshole…” the two of them were in disbelief.
“Alright, alright. Stop arguing. As for the name, I’ve already got one. It will be called the Home of Adventurers.”
“You’re the best leader!” Liu Bei quickly licked AV’s boots.
“That’s fantastic, my lord!” Huang Zhong followed.
“The House of Adventurers, it sounds simple but it’s meaningful. I’m truly amazed by our lord’s talent and wisdom,” Jia Xu bowed.
Lin Liang and Cao Cao stared at Jia Xu. Has this fella been that shameless all these while?
The adventurous Zhang Zhengxiong was fine with the name.
As for AV, he felt that Lil’Jia had been cringy recently as he could feel Jia Xu always smiling at his ass.
“This is all the result of our Brother Xiong’s effort. From today onwards, he will be the vice president of our adventure team. Let’s give him a round of applause…” AV smiled.
Everyone clapped happily except for Fang Ci and SpyingBlade. Shouldn’t have joined this team in the first place. It’s just an adventure team formed by a bunch of idiots.
