"Thank you, Mr. Chariot."
Little Sun Derrick's eyes lit up, and he quickly thanked him. Having always eaten blackface grass, and occasionally even monster flesh, he was naturally very curious about food from the outside world.
Although Mr. Chariot repeatedly stated that the mushrooms he sent were different from normal mushrooms, Little Sun Derrick had never eaten normal mushrooms anyway, so it didn't matter to him.
Seeing his expectant look, Lin Ruo couldn't help but remind him, "But remember, when you get the mushrooms, you must cook them thoroughly before eating, and don't eat them with fish."
After reminding him of these two most important points, Lin Ruo continued, "Those mushrooms come in many flavors. Some can produce red wine, some can produce milk, there are fish-flavored ones, and other strange flavors... I'll make a list for you later, detailing these, so you can eat them accordingly."
"However, I don't have those mushrooms on hand right now, so it might be a few days before I can give them to you."
Although mushrooms that can grow stably in the Forsaken Land of the Gods have not yet been cultivated, Frank's mushrooms originally came in various flavors, and after this period of research, even more bizarre mushroom flavors have been added. Last time, he even sent Lin Ruo a few beef-flavored mushrooms. Lin Ruo felt that he could send a portion of all these strange mushrooms to Little Sun.
These mushrooms are not like those semi-finished mushrooms that are still under research or can even actively hunt monsters. Although they are relatively dangerous if eaten raw or with fish, under normal circumstances, there isn't a big problem.
"Understood, thank you, Mr. Chariot." Little Sun Derrick thanked him again.
Justice Audrey looked at Little Sun and then at Lin Ruo, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Chariot, can I buy some of those mushrooms you mentioned?"
Red wine-flavored mushrooms, fish-flavored mushrooms—these really made Justice Audrey, who was already very curious, even more so. It was almost as if the words "I want" were written in her eyes.
In fact, it wasn't just her; Magician Fors was also very curious about what kind of mushrooms Lin Ruo was talking about, but she didn't dare to speak up.
As for True, Alger was still in self-isolation, probably not yet recovered from the information he just received.
Lin Ruo's expression instantly became strange upon hearing this. He looked at Justice Audrey and subconsciously said, "Are you sure? Those mushrooms are actually very peculiar."
"Ah..." Justice Audrey was stunned for a moment, but her curiosity didn't extinguish because of Lin Ruo's words. She just cautiously confirmed, "There shouldn't be any danger, right?"
"There's no danger as long as you don't eat them raw or with fish." Lin Ruo's expression grew even stranger.
"Then it's no problem." Justice Audrey smiled and then assured him, "Mr. Chariot, don't worry, I won't mess around. I, uh, I'm just a little curious."
Lin Ruo: ...
Alright then!
Hope you don't develop a mushroom allergy later.
Although his conscience felt a little pain, since Justice Audrey herself said so, Lin Ruo decided to fulfill her curiosity and nodded, "Alright, I'll send you a portion later. No need for payment, it's nothing major."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Magician Fors looking at him eagerly, clearly having the same thoughts as Justice Audrey. His mouth twitched even more, and he couldn't help but say, "Miss Magician, do you also want a portion of mushrooms?"
"Haha, yes... I'm also very curious." Magician Fors laughed awkwardly, pulling at her hair a bit sheepishly, and said.
"Okay, I'll prepare a portion for you." Lin Ruo nodded, then simply looked at The Hanged Man Alger, who had finally recovered, and The World, who showed no expression but whose true body was clearly restraining itself from showing any abnormality, and said, "Mr. Hanged Man, Mr. World, do you need any?"
"Thank you, please give me a portion as well." Although not as interested in mushrooms, since most of the others wanted them, The Hanged Man Alger naturally didn't plan to refuse.
The World, manipulated by Fool Klein, also thanked him, going with the flow and accepting a portion of mushrooms.
Thus, Lin Ruo successfully achieved the accomplishment of using mushrooms to mess with the entire Tarot Club.
After the mushroom incident, the Tarot Club naturally returned to its normal course. After Justice Audrey once again sought to purchase Mirror Dragon eyes, blood, and the fruit of the Everlasting Tree, and received a response from Little Sun Derrick, reaching a deal, the Tarot Club entered its daily intelligence-sharing session.
And after sharing the desired intelligence one by one, with Mr. The Fool's announcement, this Tarot Club meeting officially concluded.
When Lin Ruo came down from the gray fog, he expressionlessly gulped down the cold tea in his cup. After Klein, who had completed his transaction with The Hanged Man Alger, also came down from the gray fog, he said solemnly:
"Klein, this world is doomed."
"Ah... uh." Klein was stunned for a moment, then realized what Lin Ruo was getting at, and immediately said with a subtle expression, "It's not that bad, is it? It's just some mushrooms... Aren't you planning to send those finished mushrooms? Those mushrooms aren't dangerous, they just taste... a bit strange."
"Alas, you don't understand... If the world is destroyed, none of us are innocent." Lin Ruo sighed theatrically, then feigned piety:
"Praise A'Gu!"
Klein: ...
Klein's expression grew even stranger. He could roughly understand what Lin Ruo meant, but he really didn't get his joke.
After all, Klein hadn't formally met Frank yet. Although through various mushrooms, he had already glimpsed some of Frank's peculiar ideas, there was still a difference compared to actually meeting him.
Lin Ruo naturally saw his state. Feeling a bit lonely because his joke wasn't understood, he then stood up, patted Klein's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Next time I go to see Frank, you come with me. Then you'll understand why I'm worried about the world being destroyed."
Klein: ...
Alright, as long as you're happy.
Klein didn't resist this decision, as he was also somewhat curious about Frank.
Compared to that... Klein thought of another important matter and said, "Regarding Little Sun, are you planning to contact the True Creator?"
"En, I plan to talk to Him... Although He's crazy, He should still be able to talk, right?" Lin Ruo said uncertainly. Can the crazy True Creator communicate normally with people? That's truly an unknown question.
"Crazy?" Klein was startled, a bit confused.
"That's not important." Lin Ruo, however, didn't plan to tell him about the issue of divine creation and human creation right now. He continued, "But before communicating with the True Creator, I plan to blow up Amon's lair in Backlund first."
"Ah?"
