Chapter 767: Chapter 754: Stepping Into the Spotlight
Deep Area of Pujie Dungeon, in a remote location with only one entrance, a small cave with maximum concealment.
Inside the cave, a Puki extends its tentacle to place a Memory Crystal labeled "Sword Saint’s Social Death Scene 12" into the gap of the third row shelf.
The shelves stand against the walls row by row, from classic scenes of core members like Sword Saint and Little Pig, to the ridiculous episode of a Fungus Person nobody remembers the name of falling into a ditch drunk, it has it all.
These crystals are Lin Jun’s most precious collection over the years, second only to several Divine Artifacts.
The amount of crystals labeled "Norris" is particularly large, almost occupying a whole layer.
At the far end of the shelf, there’s a line of crystals marked "Amusement Park Group Activity XXX", placed alone in the corner, separated from the previous "Social Death Series".
At the deepest point of the cave, there’s a large and thick memo book on a stone platform, due to frequent use, the cover is worn, the corners are curled, inside densely written with notes.
Looking at the collection in this small cave, a warm feeling arises, these are memories created with friends in this world, footprints of the journey.
These are bits and pieces that Lin Jun and friends have left in this world, his footprints as a Puki along his journey.
And now, Lin Jun is about to enter a new phase.
No more hiding, no more concealing, openly appearing before the world.
Of course, it’s about identity, not the body, no one should hope to find the body of the Green Mushroom.
The reason for this decision is one, the female Hero returning to the Kingdom, under the panel, many things naturally can’t be hidden.
Moreover, even the biggest enemy, the Demon King, already knows, rather than continuing to cover up causing a mutual distrust situation with human leaders, it’s better to openly and appropriately disclose information to deepen cooperation between both sides.
To be honest, he doesn’t have any bad intentions, just wants to parasitize everyone.
Another reason is, with his current influence, there’s indeed no need to hide anymore.
Even if human leaders go insane and insist on opposing him, it would just cause some trouble.
Of course, unnecessary trouble should be avoided if possible, isn’t that why Sword Saint was sent to play the emotional card!
...
Duke Saint Clair’s Mansion, in a delicately decorated small room.
Heroic Sophia, Priest Samuel, Duke Alama, Duke Lorenzo, and legendary Summoner Inanna sat in a fan-shaped arrangement around the table.
Opposite them, there’s a raised children’s seat, sitting on it... Sword Saint Puki was not sitting on it, but standing directly by the table.
"Being resurrected as a Puki..." Even though he had gotten the news beforehand and did much psychological preparation, Lorenzo couldn’t help but ask, "Elvyn, are you sure you resurrected? And not saved at death’s door then transformed into a Puki?"
Before Sword Saint could answer, Sophia looked at Sword Saint’s panel and replied: "It’s not Transformation Technique, Sword Saint is currently a real Puki."
"Oh my!" Lorenzo leaned on the sofa looking at the ceiling, not knowing where to start the conversation.
His heart was shocked by the Hero’s panel ability to collect 100% accurate information so quickly.
Such an ability, even though occasionally recorded in Heroic texts, was often depicted as a magic similar to "Detection Skill", now there’s no comparison between the two.
In the room, the most excited was Inanna.
She was happy for Elvyn to transform into a Puki, and for herself to transform into a Puki in the future.
As for previously RUAing this Uncle Elvyn, since it’s all Puki form, it seems okay.
Of course, Pink Puki felt it was okay, but when Elvyn came out singly with Alama earlier, the whole mushroom was already dehydrated and on the verge of death.
Unfortunately, the newly chosen room also had a Barrier, and Lin Jun couldn’t hide the Memory Crystal in time, for which Lin Jun noted down against Alama.
Sword Saint roughly narrated his resurrection and mutual agreement with Lin Jun to save the world, followed by notable events he participated in.
It was only then Lorenzo realized: "No wonder only your bones were left when your corpse was unearthed, I always thought your flesh had been corroded by the blood sea of the Old Bat!"
Samuel asked: "Have others been resurrected? Like the Archbishop..."
Sword Saint Puki shook its mushroom cap: "Indeed, others have resurrected into Puki, but mostly Fungus Castle residents, the Archbishop was not among them."
Samuel nodded, not feeling disappointed.
"Is saving the world referring to resisting the mist?" Sophia asked.
"Initially, it was planned that way," Sword Saint Puki rubbed the rim of the mushroom cap, "but the Death God we encountered said, ’The mist is not important’, as for how exactly, we’ll need to find ways to gather more information."
World crisis, Death God...
Those present contemplated the reliability of this information.
Alama finally spoke up: "Elvyn, my friend, I am willing to trust you. But now, I hope you can answer my last question."
Sword Saint Puki raised a tentacle to signal him to ask.
"That nameless ’Mushroom Lord’, ’Boss’, is he reliable? Or," Alama looked seriously at Sword Saint, "will he become an enemy?"
Upon hearing this, Inanna originally wanted to say "Boss has a name", but after thinking it over, she chose to remain silent.
Sword Saint’s mind flashed to Boss’s daily habit of messing with subordinates, finding it hard to associate him with "reliable".
He chose to directly answer the second question: "In my view, the Puki won’t become an enemy of humans, actually, on this point, you can directly ask it."
"Directly ask it?"
Knock knock knock—
After the knock, Eric the butler’s voice came from outside the door: "Sir, a Puki claiming to be the Mushroom Lord wants to enter."
"Let it in."
The door opened, a Puki with a bright red mushroom cap hopped in, actively sat on the raised children’s chair.
A childish and clear voice akin to a four or five-year-old child sounded from the Puki’s belly: "Hello friends, it’s nice to communicate with everyone directly, you can call me ’Boss’."
Sophia watched the information on the Puki panel without speaking, Lorenzo and Alama slightly raised eyebrows at this unexpected voice, but quickly returned to normal.
Instead, Inanna widened her pink eyes, Sword Saint was downright a shock on its mushroom cap.
Of course, besides Lin Jun and Inanna, no one could understand the expressions of Puki.
