There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

Better to have never met than to have met. The Corpse Mushroom now desperately wanted to escape, but it was clear that escape was impossible.

Abruptly pulled from the depths of the dirty room, this mushroom was exceptionally large. The visible portion was probably only a tenth of its original size, creating a strange sensation of pulling up a radish and bringing up the entire pit with it.

The Corpse Mushroom had considered resisting such impolite actions from Xiao Yang, but its struggles proved largely ineffective.

Xiao Yang wasn't bullying it, after all, they were equals in terms of both rank and level.

Corpse Mushroom, Elite rank, Level 15.

Xiao Yang was also Elite rank, Level 15.

There was absolutely no question of a strong bullying the weak.

It was all useless, completely ineffective. Xiao Yang ignored all of the Corpse Mushroom's attacks, allowing them to strike him at will. His health bar was almost half again as long as the Corpse Mushroom's, and his health barely decreased as the green healing numbers and red damage numbers fluctuated.

If the Corpse Mushroom could speak, it would surely have roared in fury.

"What? This is Level 15? You call that Level 15!"

The Corpse Mushroom felt truly aggrieved. It was just hiding in the dirt, sleeping.

To add fuel to the fire, as the Corpse Mushroom was lost in confusion and indignation, the shameless bastard who had suddenly appeared and was bullying it started laughing loudly.

"That's the feeling! That's the feeling!" After struggling in this dungeon for so long, Xiao Yang was finally experiencing the thrill of each strike.

Each swing of the axe delivered high damage, high armor penetration, and a satisfying roar. Grasping the rusted giant axe, Xiao Yang finally understood the appeal of those monster-slaying web games. Simple and unadorned, nothing fancy, just basic attacks, just those popping red numbers, a feeling that was simply addictive.

Although this was disrespectful to the Corpse Mushroom, the mushroom's anger reached its peak amidst the surging grief and Xiao Yang's relentless axe swings.

It decided to explode with Xiao Yang!

The Corpse Mushroom stopped pulling up corpses from the ground to heal itself and instead swelled up rapidly with a piercing roar.

Xiao Yang sensed that something was wrong with this.

"No, wait!"

But it was too late. The Corpse Mushroom exploded with Xiao Yang, falling in extreme unrest. It died in unrest, not at peace at all, but Xiao Yang, who survived, was not much more at ease.

The Corpse Mushroom's self-destruction blasted away five hundred points of Xiao Yang's health, taking a third of his health bar. But the loss of health was not the biggest problem; the thick, foul-smelling liquid that exploded from the Corpse Mushroom's body was the real damage to Xiao Yang.

It was like being point-blanked by a larger, super-bloated drowned corpse, the indescribable smell was simply too terrifying.

The entire prison room shook slightly from the explosion, and Xiao Yang, covered head to toe in damp, unidentified slime, staggered out of the loot room, his head spinning.

He felt terrible now. He was fine, just a little nauseous.

After recovering for a while, Xiao Yang finally got up from the ground. The Corpse Mushroom had contributed two blue and one purple drop to Xiao Yang, and its explosion seemed to have opened up a sealed area.

The two blue items were a gray chunk of meat and a skill scroll.

【Unknown Vegetarian Steak】

Quality: Excellent

Effect: Increases excessive satiety

Introduction: This is a steak that is extremely suitable for vegetarians, a vegetarian steak, slow-baked over low heat, sizzling with oil!

A subtle thing in every way, added to the for-sale list. Xiao Yang didn't really want to taste something so bizarre.

【Devour Corpses】

Quality: Excellent

Effect: Devour corpses to gain healing, the amount of healing depends on the corpse's healing value and degree of decay

Introduction: I'm not wrong, they're all dead, dead people don't count as people anymore, why can't I eat them!

An even more subtle thing than the previous subtle meat appeared.

"Why are the Corpse Mushroom's drops so subtle!"

Xiao Yang would definitely not learn this Devour Corpses skill, a ghoul and cannibal cult entry guide. Although this skill had some room to play in this skeleton dungeon, Xiao Yang didn't want to become the kind of weirdo who would say "Hello, friend, you smell so good!" to everyone he met in the future.

The for-sale list grew by one again.

Finally, the epic drop arrived, something serious at last.

【Unstable Life Solution】

Quality: Epic

Effect: Increases life recovery by two after use.

Introduction: A life solution born in death, a by-product of a madman's attempt to resurrect the dead.

This was a good thing. Xiao Yang had never seen anything that could increase permanent life recovery, but he didn't expect it to drop from this Corpse Mushroom.

For other players, defeating an elite enemy and only dropping this kind of epic consumable might make them curse, but Xiao Yang was happy with it.

Compared to those epic equipment, he actually preferred permanent attribute increases. Of course, the more important reason was that Xiao Yang didn't lack epic equipment. He poured the extremely precious epic potion into his mouth.

The Unstable Life Solution did not trigger the effects of the Goblet of Greed. The amount was too small, and he didn't even taste it.

He smacked his lips, and not long after drinking it, Xiao Yang suddenly felt an uncontrollable itching sensation rising throughout his body.

Sometimes, it wasn't a bad thing for the Goblet of Greed to taste things on Xiao Yang's behalf. These strange potions, a large part of them, while exerting various wonderful effects, would also bring some not-so-good experiences.

Just like now.

Xiao Yang itched uncontrollably all over, as if something was scurrying around inside his flesh and blood.

This itching lasted for a long time, until the God's Game prompt popped up.

【Player traits are changing, the Life Abundance trait is changing, the change is complete, congratulations to the player for obtaining a new trait】

【Body of Life: Life recovery plus five】
