I loaded up the monster simulator game

"Mycelium of the Shadow Fungus"

"Mystery: 0.5%"

"Level: Glimmer"

"Trait: Life-eating"

"Introduction: Some parts of the shadow fungus are still active. After being inactivated, if you eat them, you have a chance to gain some of the abilities or skills of the shadow fungus."

Uh......

Cheng Chuge looked at the piece of mycelium he had cut off with his sickle blade, and a question appeared in his mind.

What's the meaning? Inactivate?

Does boiling count?

Cheng Chuge looked around and saw that although there were many trees and vines in the botanical garden, and some even remained active in the barrier, he did not have the tools to make a fire.

Drilling wood to make fire is too troublesome.

After confirming that the mycelium of the shadow fungus, like the cerebrospinal fluid of the Glow Master Brain, can be consumed to acquire evolved skills, he cut off a large piece of the shadow fungus, leaving almost only a fist-sized mycelium lying in place. It turned into a small blanket of bacteria in the open space.

He's not dead yet, life is so hard.

Apart from anything else, Cheng Chuge was very moved by the parasitism and resurrection abilities of this foggy fungus monster.

Not to mention using this ability on one's own character, even if the main body acquires this ability, it is equivalent to an incredible way to save one's life.

I just don’t know if I will be the same as this blanket after resurrection.

Seeing the Shadow Erosion Fungus, who was almost unable to move and could only rely on eating the surrounding vegetation to recover, Cheng Chuge nodded slightly.

There is no threat to the shadow fungus now, and it doesn't matter even if it is allowed to develop here for a while.

If you kill it directly, most of the mycelium on your hand will turn into gray mist and dissipate. It is better to wait until you have devoured it and gained abilities before considering killing it.

Maybe after eating all of them, I won't be able to evolve, and I will have to come back to harvest them again.

Cheng Chuge no longer paid attention to the fungus carpet moving towards the lake like a small slime under his feet, and looked at the artificial lake it was about to move to.

The originally clear lake surface has been polluted by rotten wood and flesh, and is now shrouded in mist and exuding a fishy smell of blood.

Above the artificial lake, there is a large amount of shining gray mist floating around. This is the gray mist that separated from the "fruit" of the human head after the death of the phage's fruiting body.

This is the first time Cheng Chuge has seen a fog monster that divides its body into several structures to survive like a real natural creature. Even if part of it is destroyed, it will not really die.

Cheng Chuge spread his wings and flew to the center of the lake, absorbing all the gray mist. Then he watched the shadow fungus slowly crawling towards the lake and stopped moving. It seemed to be at a loss when it stopped.

This shadow fungus... its mental power is almost twice that of ordinary people, and its behavior pattern seems to be logical, which is quite interesting.

Now, just treat it as a backup hidden food and let it roam in this area. No one else will come here anyway.

Cheng Chuge glided to the lake, held the cut fungi with his double scythes like pliers, and read Return to the City.

After the ten-second countdown passed, Cheng Chuge successfully returned to the workshop with the pile of fungus blanket in front of him. He threw the fungus blanket onto the table and placed all the remaining gray mist beads on the table.

After deducting the large amount of consumption caused by flying, Cheng Chuge still had eleven gray mist beads left, plus the seven originally placed on the table, a total of eighteen.

It has to be said that the amount of gray mist contained in the fruiting body of the Shadow Erosion Fungus is a bit excessive. The amount of gray mist even released was more than the previous strong-handed tyrant and blood-squeezing pot combined.

It is understandable, after all, a large area like the Botanical Garden has been basically parasitized by the shadow fungus, and all the flesh and blood corpses of the monsters were piled on the artificial lake to form its fruiting bodies.

I just don’t know why it has gained so much flesh and gray mist, and why it hasn’t been promoted to the Firefly level yet?

Is it an innate factor? Or are there any necessary conditions missing?

Cheng Chuge exited the workshop page, sat up from the sofa, and walked towards the kitchen of the apartment while thinking about this problem.

The new character reached the Firefly level because he had collected two Firefly-level monster materials and used the silver mist beads produced in the game to forcibly upgrade one of the materials to Firefly.

For ordinary monsters, if they just pursue a huge size instead of improving their body structure piece by piece, will their evolution be slower?

Probably.

For example, the Shadow Erosion Fungus we encountered just now used a huge head made of flesh and rotten wood as its fruiting body. It was big enough, but the power of the gray mist was too spread out. It was really necessary to upgrade such a big thing to The amount of gray mist required at the Firefly level is unimaginably terrifying.

Killing through three or four shimmering barriers may not be enough.

Maybe after I figure out the principle of evolution in the future, I can use gray mist beads to create the characters I want in batches.

When the time comes, with a snap of your fingers, an army of millions of monsters will emerge, which is a little exciting just thinking about it.

But...before you can have a sweet dream, you must first solve the problem of multiple drives without lag.

Cheng Chuge touched his lower abdomen and saw that the cerebrospinal fluid had almost been digested. After it was completely absorbed, his energy level actually increased by 0.1, reaching 2.5.

As for the mental consumption of logging in, Cheng Chuge only felt a little tired and estimated that he could log in for a few more hours.

You know, he went through several battles today.

This cerebrospinal fluid is really a good thing, and I don’t know where else I can find a monster with the characteristic of domination. If I encounter it while controlling a character in the barrier, Cheng Chuge can completely defeat the opponent.

Before the cerebrospinal fluid is exhausted, Cheng Chuge's daily login time can basically be doubled, which can just make up for the consumption caused by overstepping the control of the Armored Death.

Cheng Chuge stood in front of the induction cooker in the kitchen, took out a bottle of cerebrospinal fluid from a Coke bottle, and placed it next to the pot.

Afterwards, he opened the workshop and asked the Armored Death God to cut a palm-sized piece of shadow mycelium for him and placed it on the wooden table in the workshop.

Try inactivating the shadow mycelium.

Cheng Chuge poured the cerebrospinal fluid from the bottle into the pot, started the induction cooker, and began to heat it slowly.

When the cerebrospinal fluid with white brain tissue floating in the pot boiled, Cheng Chuge raised his hand and summoned the small piece of purple steak-like bacteria carpet, which fell directly into the boiling cerebrospinal fluid.

"Gurgling..."

The cerebrospinal fluid became more viscous as it boiled and bubbled in the pot.

The mycelium slowly spread out after being put into the pot, and the purple mycelium began to gradually turn red, just like a pot of thick tomato soup.

An inexplicable fragrance shocked Cheng Chuge until the mycelium turned red and the system introduced that it had become inactivated. Cheng Chuge turned off the induction cooker and poured the thick liquid inside into a large bowl. .

Completely non-stick.

Cheng Chuge took out the spoon, looked at the steaming sticky food in front of him, used the spoon to break a small piece and put it into his mouth. Then, a sweet and smooth feeling followed Cheng Chuge's swallowing, all the way from his throat. Crossed.

Ok?

Why does it look a bit like white fungus and red date soup?

Tons tons tons...

Soon, a large bowl of cerebrospinal fluid boiled shadow bacteria was swallowed by Cheng Chuge. At the same time, a system prompt panel also lit up.
