"Are there really Puki in the Treasure Chest Room?" Ai i stared at the scene inside the room, her voice filled with incredulous doubt.
"No, no, no!" Horn imdiately countered, shaking his head like a rattle, "Which Underground City rumor ever ntioned Puki popping out in the Treasure Chest Room? Absolutely not!"
"Then this..." Ai i was montarily speechless.
Horn was also at a loss for words.
Cautiously observing for a mont, it seed there was no danger inside. He signaled Ai i to guard the entrance while he and Noah went in to see what was happening.
In the center of the room, a particularly plump Fat Otaku Puki sat behind a wooden table naturally ford from gnarled tree branches.
On the side facing the entrance, several knee-high, sturdy Big Mushrooms stood prominently, resembling round stools prepared for visitors.
The Fat Otaku Puki was not alone; several regular-sized Puki quietly "sat" on the Fungal Mat behind it.
As soon as they walked in, two Puki approached them, using their soft tentacles to gently guide them to sit on those peculiar mushroom stools.
Horn and Noah sat down with curiosity; the mushroom stools were more elastic and comfortable than imagined!
At this mont, the Fat Otaku Puki raised a thick tentacle, Horn instinctively tensed up, his hand quietly sliding toward the dagger at his waist.
However, the Fat Otaku Puki rely flexibly wrapped its tentacle around and picked up a very strange-looking Puki from the Fungal Mat beside it — its mushroom cap was like an open mouth, with tiny sharp teeth along the edge, already filled with clear water!
The Fat Otaku Puki steadily placed the Drilling Puki on the wooden table in front of the two, then from within its own body, pulled out a handful of bright red mushrooms, tossing them into the Drilling Puki without hesitation.
"Delicious Mushrooms!" The two recognized the Red Mushrooms that had recently caused a sensation.
But that was not all; the Fat Otaku Puki then wrapped up another Puki covered in sticky honey, carefully squeezing a few drops of golden nectar into the "pot."
Lastly, it dipped a tentacle tip into a bit of glowing Flower Demon Paralyzing Liquid from a hollow little Puki, dripping a tiny drop inside.
Finished with the preparations, the Fat Otaku Puki used its tentacles to lift the Drilling Puki, now slightly trembling and emitting heat, gently shaking it like a cocktail shaker for about two minutes.
Two minutes later, a dish with an indescribable tempting aroma, a Puki Specialty Cuisine, was ready.
The strange rich aroma spread, even Ai i guarding the door couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
The two inside finally understood; they quickly took out wooden bowls from their luggage, and the Fat Otaku Puki, holding the Drilling Puki with its tentacles, poured a full bowl for both Horn and Noah.
Horn was the first to pick up the bowl, blowing on it before taking a big sip: "Whew... It’s a bit hot!"
He had just complained when his whole body shivered intensely!
A blast of indescribable flavor, a perfect blend of sweet and fresh, exploded in his mouth, followed by a subtle, irresistible paralyzing sensation that instantly spread from his tongue to every part of his body, making him tremble slightly.
The paralysis spread quickly, and Horn’s legs went weak; with a "thud," he fell directly onto the Fungal Mat carpet, surrounded by Puki who imdiately gathered around...
"Horn!" Ai i, who had been watching inside, instantly pulled out her Short Bow.
"Wait! Wait! Ai i, I’m okay!" In the pile of Puki, Horn’s sowhat slurred but full-bodied voice called out.
Ai i looked in with confusion, only to see the Puki forming a neat little circle, each taking turns stepping over Horn, who was lying on the ground. The peculiar paralyzing sensation made his eyes flutter slightly, but he had an expression of enjoynt, occasionally letting out comfortable humming sounds.
Noah, sitting beside him, holding the special mushroom soup, looked at Horn who seed to be in ecstasy on the ground, then at the aromatic soup in his bowl. He wanted to quickly try this delicious dish but was sowhat shy about becoming like that in front of his companions...
The dose of Paralyzing Liquid was minimal, and just a few minutes later, the paralysis from Horn’s body receded like a tide. He stood up with a nimble maneuver, feeling thoroughly refreshed, as if fatigue was completely wiped away, and the Puki tacitly stopped their "massage" service.
An impatient Ai i decisively asked to switch places, pushing the still sowhat dazed Horn out of the room. She and Noah also took turns enjoying that full-scale Puki service.
When the three of them finally stood outside the stone door, they felt their bodies relaxed, their stomachs fulfilling warmth, and their spirits invigorated, reluctant to leave.
"Is it... over?" Ai i smacked her lips in lingering satisfaction.
However, as they reluctantly looked back, only the cold, rough stone wall remained behind them, and the heavy stone door carved with intricate patterns, along with the Puki restaurant inside, had vanished without a trace!
"Turns out the hidden room transfers so quickly!" Noah looked at the empty stone wall, murmuring with a hint of regret in his voice.
Horn rubbed his chin, reminiscing about the comfort and deliciousness earlier, suddenly feeling he’d forgotten sothing, and after a while: "Hold on! Where’s the promised Treasure Chest?! Our treasure?!"
...
Treasure?
The treasure is all with the Puki, of course!
A Puki used its tentacles to wrap around a pair of Arm Guards, skillfully injecting Magic Power into them.
Buzz!
A Magic Shield radiating a soft glow instantly unfolded in front of the Arm Guards.
Hmm... another piece of Skill Equipnt to add to the little treasury!
Lin Jun can’t enter the real super treasury of the Underground City, but that doesn’t stop him from collecting all freshly spawned treasures ahead of ti.
If Lin Jun doesn’t intentionally control it, the hidden room will automatically transfer periodically, occasionally appearing in adventurers’ sights.
Always letting adventurers find looted hidden rooms isn’t good, so why not turn it into a Puki massage restaurant? Once everyone accepts this setting, it’ll be fine.
Lin Jun did not skimp on this; offering not only full seasoning but also using top-grade mushrooms of Delicious Level 4 as the core ingredient!
Once the skill level upgrades, the mushroom quality can be even higher. Surface-grown ones can only reach Level 3 at most.
Lin Jun found this Delicious skill really powerful; not only could it produce delicious mushrooms and Puki, but it could also be applied to creatures like this Minotaur daring to cause trouble on Puki ground.
Having intruded into Lin Jun’s controlled cave, launched an attack, and killed several Puki, even after being captured with fungal threads already parasitizing it, the Minotaur showed no repentance, so Lin Jun simply enhanced it with Delicious and threw it to the Little Pig.
Faced with that special aroma, the Little Pig imdiately demonstrated what a "bold eating style" ant with her actions.
Her arm muscles bulged, firmly pinning the much larger Minotaur to the ground, burying her head into its thick neck, and began sucking madly!
From its initial violent struggles and counterattacks, to its Power quickly draining away, the Minotaur finally went completely limp, lifeless. Only then did Louisa, her face sared with blood, suddenly co to her senses: "Oh no... I finished it all..."
A Water-holding Puki used fungal tentacles to spray so water, cleaning as it asked: "How’s the taste?"
Realizing her previous eating posture was overly wild, Louisa, slightly embarrassed, tidied up her blood-stained clothes, smacking her lips in reminiscence: "I’ve never tasted such... delicious blood! Pity about the cow stink, otherwise it would have been perfect!"
It’s normal not to have tasted it before; what humanoid creature cos equipped with the Delicious skill?
Looking at the satisfied Little Pig, this thing... Wouldn’t it be popular over there in the Empire?
