Two hours later, inside a Single Player scenario on normal difficulty …
"It sure is hard to find you here." After Feng Bujue stepped into the dark basement, he opened his mouth to say that into the darkness.
Huhuhu …
The next second, a gust of wind blew, and the two rows of candles on the two sides of the basement lit up on their own.
The candlelight lit up the slightly narrow space, and three strange shadows were reflected in the candlelight.
"I've already sent Upside Down and Upside Down to fetch you, but they appear to have lost their way …" Sam Montier said.
He was the largest of the three, but he could only sit on the ground in this space. If he stood up, his horns would reach the ceiling.
"Haha … Feng Bujue is indeed impressive. Even without our people leading the way … you were able to pass through the layers of danger to reach this place." The next to speak was Taliohm.
He looked the same as always, wearing a black robe and a luxurious cape. On his pale face, the pair of unique 'eyes' kept glancing at others with cunning.
"Long time no see, Feng Bujue." The last to respond to Brother Jue was a giant skull — Snatch Soul. "If I remember correctly, when we last met, you borrowed something from me, and you still haven't returned it to me …"
"The Demonic Pivot is no longer in existence. Even if I wanted to return it to you, I wouldn't be able to." Feng Bujue shrugged. "But … I am a man of my word. As the saying goes, if you return what you borrow, you won't find it hard to borrow again. To compensate for your loss, I'll give you something of similar value." As he spoke, he took out an item from his inventory and placed it in front of Soulsnatcher.
"This …" Snatch Soul took a look. "… Could this be the legendary 'F * ck, Can You Stop My Kind' Mushroom?"
"Yes, I came across this by accident a long time ago, but until now, I haven't found a chance to use it." Brother Jue paused. "I've thought about it. I'll use this to compensate you for the loss of the [Demonic Spiritual Pivot]."
It was mentioned in the previous chapter that Feng Bujue obtained the [Dammit Shroom] from a "Ukiyo-e style adventure". It also stated that this was a "mushroom that could remove many negative statuses", but there was no specific description of this item.
Let's reveal it now …
[Name: F * ck, I Can Stay Still Mushroom]
Type: Consumable
[Grade:???]
[Special Effect 1: The God of Haiku is protecting me! (When the player swallows this mushroom, all negative mental states will be removed.)]
[Special Effect 2: Add Mushroom for You (Permanently change the style of an NPC)]
[Remark: A mysterious mushroom that grows in the northeast of a certain country.]
I believe that everyone will understand after reading the description of this item … Just like [Chuck Norris's Razor], this is an item that "exceeds the limit". Its quality cannot be defined, probably due to the difference in the value of its two special effects.
For the players, this mushroom was at most 'excellent' quality, but for the NPCs, it had to be a 'legendary' quality item.
"Although I also think that … don't do unto others what you don't want done unto you." Feng Bujue waved the mushroom in front of Spirit Snatcher. "But … some things have different values in the eyes of different people …"
"Okay, stop wasting time." Spirit Snatcher was not a simple person. He already knew what Feng Bujue was going to say, so he cut him off. "We're all smart people, so there's no need to beat around the bush …" He said directly, "As long as you give me the mushroom, I'll forget about the Demonic Spiritual Pivot, and … I can give you something else in exchange."
"Then it's a deal," Brother Jue said as he opened his palm.
Soul Snatcher immediately used his telekinesis to catch the mushroom and absorbed it into his telekinesis space.
Two seconds later, he said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll take it … and go back on my word?"
"Ha …" Feng Bujue replied in a relaxed manner. "Cooperation is built on the foundation of mutual trust … If you're the kind of person who would go back on his word for a small profit, then there's no need for us to continue this negotiation."
"Hmph …" Taliomb chuckled darkly. "You're not only clever … but you're also good with words …"
Spirit Snatcher replied coldly, "Whether Phantom Church will cooperate with you or not is still up for debate … but I won't go back on my word over something so small …" Then, he took out another item from his Telekinetic Pocket and controlled it to float before Brother Jue.
Feng Bujue accepted it and opened the game menu.
Item Name: Chuck Norris's Autobiography
Item Type: Other
Quality: Legendary
Special Effect: Everything you want to know is here.
Can be taken out of the scenario: Yes
Remark: One of the items from the CN series. It records one of the 100 well-known facts about Chuck Norris. It will be bound to you after picking it up.
— Chuck Norris was not really writing a book, but those words were self-organized due to fear. — —
"When you broke the curse seal on Fu Ling, you found something similar, right?" After Spirit Snatcher handed the book to Feng Bujue, he continued, "Then I believe you should know how valuable this kind of item is to visitors from another world."
"Oh? You know about Fu Ling as well? "Feng Bujue asked with a fake smile.
"Humph …" Spirit Snatcher scoffed. "Why are you playing dumb with me?" When he said that, his tone chilled. "With your intelligence, you must have figured out that … it was me who caused her to become like that."
"Hah … Fine, we'll talk about that later." Feng Bujue said as he placed the book inside his backpack. "Now, let's talk about the finals of this Tournament for the Best … or in other words, the Twilight of the Gods."
"Before that," Sam Montier said, "I wanted to ask you something when you entered the basement … At this moment, shouldn't you and your teammates be on one of the planets? Since all the competitions in the Tournament for the Four Worlds start at the same time, and they all take place in the main universe of Thriller Paradise, there is a chance for multiple teams to run into each other in the same world. To prevent that from happening, the teams are usually transported to different planets."
"Oh … About that …" Feng Bujue said. "That competition started two hours ago, and our team won it thirty minutes later, so …" He shrugged, and the rest was self-explanatory.
