Pink—A new species!

Has magic power—Delicious!

For Xiao Hai, this temptation was completely irresistible; there's no reason not to try it!

But just as she took her first step, the knight beside Pink Puki reacted, entangling the bewildered Inanna with several fungal tentacles and darting away!

In the distance, Edin's scalp tingled as he spotted a rapidly approaching Big Black Mushroom exuding a "dinnertime" aura. Without a word, he quietly cast a Strong Invisibility Technique on himself and hid in the shadows.

Could this be arranged by the boss?

He didn't dare make any reckless moves.

Inanna was completely unaware of what was happening, entangled by the knight with no ability to resist or give orders.

"Boss! Boss! What's going on? Why is it taking me away?"

"What about you! Why did you transform into a Puki?"

"I was thinking about the Fungal Mat!" Inanna replied, slightly panicked and a little embarrassed.

"???"

Something's off with you!

Seeing Inanna use the Transformation Technique left Lin Jun full of question marks, unsure of her intent.

And when Xiao Hai came over following the scent, Lin Jun was utterly stunned!

This is someone just like you, carrying the Revenge Mark!

Eating anything will only harm herself!

Fortunately, Xiao Hai only thought it was the usual pre-meal exercise with the Pukis, so she didn't use her full strength.

But this won't do!

While advising Xiao Hai through the Fungal Network, Lin Jun controlled several sweet Pukis dripping with honey to rush out.

They jumped out one by one, fearlessly diving into Big Black Mushroom's cap, where Xiao Hai's mimicry mouth was positioned.

Faced with the sweet Pukis voluntarily feeding themselves to her, Xiao Hai truly couldn't refuse the generous offer.

One, two, three...

Finally, a Big Black Mushroom, its belly round and full, body coated in honey from the "battle," collapsed under a gigantic Mushroom Tree.

She's had enough...

"Burp..."

By the time the overenthusiastic Pukis were halfway through force-feeding her, she'd already forgotten about that Pink Puki.

Stuffed full, Xiao Hai laboriously dragged her heavy body, slowly crawling back to her warm little nest, where satisfied snores soon filled the air.

Yet in her dreams, that tender pink Puki bursting with alluring magic scent made her drool again...

...

Darn it!

What kind of fetish does this Pink Puki have, nearly causing big trouble!

Grabbing the still-invisible Edin, they were both brought to the sixth floor, away from Xiao Hai.

Completely oblivious to how close she had come to being on top of the food chain as prey, the Pink Puki was tossed beside the enormous "Puki Public Canteen" on the sixth floor. With a cheer, she couldn't help but dive into the warm Fungal Mat.

As countless tiny fungal threads gently wrapped around and connected to her body, that familiar, nostalgically warm and full feeling, as if returning to the motherland, enveloped her instantly.

At this moment, no Duke's Daughter, no Inanna, only a Puki fully merged into the Fungal Network, gently "filled" with the surging magic and nourishment.

No worries, no troubles, only... pure, unparalleled satisfaction!

A few minutes later, the "meal" was long over, energy fully replenished, but the Pink Puki remained still as ever, lounging comfortably on the Fungal Mat. Her short little legs twitched, clearly intending to lie there until the Transformation Technique auto-deactivated.

"Do you... want to try?"

The devil's temptation sounded in Edin's mind, watching the young lady lost in reverie. Edin firmly shook his head.

Although he had already pledged allegiance to the Puki, he was still human; being assimilated into Puki was too terrifying.

In fact, Lin Jun was just asking casually.

Seeing Edin didn't want it, of course, he wouldn't force it.

"Edin," Lin Jun's thoughts turned to approval, with obvious satisfaction, "this time, you did exceptionally well!"

Whether it was cleverly getting Inanna through the Guild channel, or conveniently "discovering" and capturing Knight Puki in the Deep Area, Edin's execution was nearly perfect.

Lin Jun certainly wouldn't shortchange him.

A Puki rolled over, presenting two hefty crystals radiating pure and powerful magic fluctuations to Edin.

"A Level Demon Crystals!? And... such large pieces?!" Edin's voice cracked.

He's no stranger to the world; his own magic staff held an expensively bought A Level Demon Crystal—a rare treasure the size of a forefinger!

But these two... each as large as an adult's palm!

Sharp and flawless, with liquid-like magic halos flowing slowly inside. More astonishingly, their shape, size, and even magic frequency were nearly identical!

This is practically the perfect embryo for crafting twin magical items requiring perfect resonance!

Yet, it's a waste not to use such quality A Level Demon Crystals to make a powerful magic staff!

For a moment, holding these two crystals plunged Edin into immense happiness and concern over gain and loss.

After a while, he finally awoke from his dream, solemnly securing the two Demon Crystals.

Looking up again, he seemed to have resolved something.

"Boss! I... also want to become a Puki!"

"What nonsensical words are you speaking?"

...

...

...

The misunderstanding was deep, explaining troublesome, so Lin Jun simply sent Edin to the Fungal Mat to feel what mana replenishment through it was like.

The two A Level Demon Crystals given to him were indeed precious, but to Lin Jun, they were just ordinary.

Since reclaiming the Old Mushroom Garden, that Magic Crystal Ore wasn't left idle.

The magical crystals mined from there were of much higher quality than those from the fifth floor. Then, using Puki's [Crystal Symbiosis LV7], A Level Demon Crystals were never lacking.

Lin Jun had a hunch, when this skill levels up to LV8, he should be able to produce S Level Demon Crystals.

However, the skill's improvement relied solely on him slowly accumulating experience by devouring vast amounts of Low Tier Demon Crystals - a painstakingly slow process, its next level up uncertain.

Truth be told, had Edin had fewer skills, Lin Jun would have wanted to reward him with some practical skills as well.

Unfortunately, as an experienced Diamond Level middle-aged adventurer, his skill bar was longer than Dylan's, and Lin Jun didn't want to expend so much magic power to add skills for him.

Fortunately, from Edin's perspective, a simple and direct reward in hard currency already exceeded his expectations.

-----------------

The sixth floor played host to two meritorious figures.

In the Deep Area, a tailless Silver Scale Lizardman finally awakened after being completely transformed.

"Boss?" Norris's consciousness was still a bit fuzzy.

"Awake! Once awake, come test it out quickly!"

[Spiritual Integration LV7], Lin Jun couldn't wait to see what changes this key skill would bring once applied to someone else!
