Mushroom Lord in the Underground City-Chapter 247 - 240: Refugees’ Future (4K)_3

If it were up to him to lead the Guild, he would probably have accepted the reality of being "unable to bear the burden" long ago, and pushed the refugee problem onto the Lord or let it resolve itself.

Although he couldn’t reach such heights himself, it didn’t stop him from feeling respect for the young white-haired Guild President in front of him. Everyone wishes to have more "good people" around them.

As for the letter...

Edin mounted his horse and rode away from the noisy and chaotic camp. But instead of heading straight for the Duke’s estate, he gently tugged the reins, turned his horse’s head, and circled toward an area where sparse fungal filaments were already spreading.

He should report to the boss first... 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

...

Hmm?

The information transmitted into Lin Jun’s consciousness made his thoughts pause for a moment.

Managing the fungal mat? Saving refugees?

After receiving Edin’s report, he did not stop him; he just let him continue delivering the message and complete Fa’er’s task.

Regarding the Adventurer’s Guild managing the mushrooms produced by the fungal mat, Lin Jun felt indifferent.

In the context of such a large-scale food shortage, the outward expansion of the fungal mat was an inevitable trend. Whether managed or not, it would spread.

However, saving the refugees was precisely to Lin Jun’s liking.

The hope stemmed, of course, mainly from the benevolent nature of the Green Mushroom.

As for the fact that the refugees were generally more open than those seasoned adventurers and held more "transformative potential" and "future value"—those were trivial, secondary considerations.

Since both sides unexpectedly reached consensus on the goal of "saving lives," Lin Jun didn’t mind lending a helping hand, even though that Guild Branch President Fa’er had previously had some minor disagreements with him...

As thoughts spun in Lin Jun’s mind, his vision shifted to the Knight Puki in the Duke’s Mansion.

Sure enough, Inanna was still the same as usual, always taking Puki wherever she went.

At this moment, the luxurious and spacious bathhouse of the Duke’s Mansion was steaming with water vapor.

Inanna was sitting on the smooth edge of the pool, holding a dirt-covered Puki tightly in her arms, carefully wiping its round body with a soft sponge, trying to restore it to its original white color.

To her left sat several Pukis that had already been cleaned thoroughly, while to her right, there were several more little creatures with equally dusty faces, lining up under her direction for a cleaning service from the Duke’s Daughter.

She had taken the Pukis hunting in her family’s woodland today, so they all turned into mud balls afterward.

Other than the Knight, these Pukis didn’t have Underwater Adaptation. Unknown at first and one even drowned (though later resurrected), Inanna now could only clean them one by one.

Normally, this kind of work could be entirely entrusted to the maids, but Inanna enjoyed it.

Suddenly, Inanna’s wiping motion stopped abruptly. She tilted her head in confusion, wet strands of hair sticking to her cheek.

Just now... did she hear the boss calling her?!

"Inanna!" Lin Jun repeated through the connection.

"It really is the boss!" A delighted smile instantly bloomed on the girl’s face, but she quickly asked in confusion, "Boss, how are you contacting me? There are obviously no filaments around here!" She subconsciously glanced around the foggy bathroom.

"I’m talking to you through the Knight Puki. Let’s not talk about that now, do you remember Edin? He’s about to..." Lin Jun briefly explained and was about to get to the main point, discussing the refugee situation and Edin’s task ahead.

However, Inanna’s attention had clearly wandered, and she didn’t hear a single word after Lin Jun’s initial explanation.

At this moment, she stared blankly at the Knight Puki on her lap, her mind filled with thoughts: Since the boss can talk to me through the Knight... why didn’t he say a word all this time? Huh?
