The underground should have been pitch black and devoid of light.
But now, one could see clearly underground.
The source of the light came from those massive grayish-white fruits that were hatching Fungal Mutants.
Looking around, these massive grayish-white fruits were scattered all over the underground, and one could not even see the end of them at a glance.
Scarface swallowed hard, a look of terror appearing on his face.
If Fungal Mutants hatched from all these grayish-white fruits, how many would there be?
Thousands?
Or even more?
Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
"If I pay a sufficient reward."
"Can you deal with so many Fungal Mutants?"
He looked at Chu He, his expression fearful.
"That depends on what you offer as a reward," Chu He laughed.
Scarface took out a pair of gloves with a pained expression.
"The value of this item should be enough, right?"
Looking at the gloves Scarface handed to him, Chu He took them and immediately checked the Information.
【Equipment Name: Midas Touch】
【Equipment Grade: F】
【Equipment Slot: Gloves】
【Equipment Effect: After use on a normal-level Enemy within a twenty-meter range, it will instantly Kill the Enemy and grant one thousand Mist Coins. Can only be used once per game.】
【Note: Let me chop wood for another thirty minutes!】
Seeing the Information for the Midas Touch, Chu He was stunned.
In DOTA2, there was also an item with a similar effect.
That item was jokingly called the 'Hand of the Team'; it was great when you bought it yourself, but if a teammate bought it, you would inevitably be grinding your teeth in anger.
After all, the Midas Touch in DOTA2 was not only expensive, but it also provided very poor Attributes.
Chu He never expected that there would be a similar piece of Equipment in this Mist Game.
And the Attributes were so explosive.
It was equivalent to gaining an extra one thousand Mist Coins every Mist Game.
He finally understood why Scarface had so many Mist Coins.
Chu He equipped the Midas Touch and looked at Scarface with a smile, "Brother, don't worry."
"Since you've given me such a precious item, just lie back and relax; I'll carry you to clear the game."
Scarface nodded with a pained expression.
To be honest, the Midas Touch was very important to him; possessing it allowed him to earn more Mist Coins than other Players.
But right now, he had no choice, no matter how reluctant he was.
To survive, he had to give the Midas Touch to Chu He.
One had to realize that they were currently facing over a thousand Fungal Mutants at once.
If he couldn't provide a sufficient reward, Chu He wouldn't take action.
Even though the two had signed a Contract, the content of the Contract was to clear the game together.
If Chu He didn't help him take out the Fungal Mutants he was supposed to Kill, it wouldn't be considered a breach of the Contract.
Even if it were half of a thousand Fungal Mutants, that would still be five hundred; if he had to face that many Fungal Mutants alone, he would surely die.
If he died, keeping the Midas Touch would be meaningless.
It was better to use the Midas Touch to buy his own life.
Chu He stopped talking and walked straight ahead.
As he approached, the grayish-white fruits burst open one after another.
Fungal Mutants hatched from them in succession.
Chu He reached out toward a Fungal Mutant and used the Midas Touch.
The Fungal Mutant's body turned into a large amount of gold coins and flew toward him.
【You used Midas Touch on a Fungal Mutant, you gained one thousand Mist Coins】
Looking at the prompt before him, Chu He grinned.
"This really is a good item!"
Chu He looked at the Midas Touch, excited.
The most crucial part was that this Midas Touch could be used by every Player once per Mist Game.
Once he formed a Blood Alliance in the future and participated in games with Blood Alliance Members.
Then, after he gave the Midas Touch to the Blood Alliance Members, they could earn more Mist Coins in every Mist Game.
This Midas Touch really had become the 'Hand of the Team' in the Mist Game.
As long as he had enough Mist Coins, he would be able to bid on some good items and Skill Books during the Mist Auction that started on the first of every month.
Thinking of this, Chu He's mood became exceptionally pleasant.
Looking at the Fungal Mutants rushing toward him, he suddenly felt they were becoming exceptionally cute.
If it weren't for these Fungal Mutants, how would Scarface have been willing to give him such a good piece of Equipment?
Chu He removed the Midas Touch and put it back into his backpack.
For now, he still had to deal with these Fungal Mutants.
But underground, the number of Fungal Mutants was too high, and there was no area to dodge.
If he retreated, the Fungal Mutants chasing him would inevitably attack Scarface.
Since he had taken Scarface's Midas Touch, he naturally had to ensure the other party survived and wasn't Killed by the Fungal Mutants.
Chu He hesitated for a moment and decided to Tank them head-on.
His current Spirit was as high as 45 points, and his Negative Status Resistance was also 45 points; he felt he should be able to withstand the infection of the Fungal Mutants.
Scarface's expression changed when he saw Chu He not dodging the incoming Fungal Mutants.
He prepared to speak up to warn Chu He to be careful.
But he suddenly realized that this was because Chu He didn't want the Fungal Mutants to attack him, which was why he didn't keep his distance and use the Burning Aura to deal with these Fungal Mutants like he did on the town streets earlier.
"I hope his Negative Status Resistance is high enough!" That was the only prayer in his heart.
When Chu He was surrounded by the flaming Fungal Variants, mycelium emerging from the mouths of many Fungal Variants pierced into Chu He's body.
【You suffered an attack from a Fungal Variant, mycelium has been left in your body.】
【The mycelium remaining in your body has been cleared by your Negative Status Resistance.】
Seeing the continuous prompts appearing before him, Chu He felt happy.
"Buying the Ring of Wisdom was worth it!"
"With the thirty points of Spirit added by this Ring of Wisdom, I can ignore the mycelium left in my body after a Fungal Variant's attack."
"Coupled with my high Defense, these Fungal Variants can only deal one point of damage to me."
"I've finally encountered a game where I can go on a rampage!" Chu He thought with ecstasy.
He had been a little worried before that the attacks of these Fungal Variants would affect him.
But now that he had no concerns, he could slaughter them all!
Chu He laughed out loud and attacked the Fungal Variants with his Riot Baton.
Under the attack bonus of the Decay Aura, his Attack Power soared.
In front of him, these Fungal Variants were taken out with one strike each, without exception.
However, no matter how high his Attack Power was, the frequency of his Kills was far behind the Burning Aura.
Any Fungal Variant that came within five meters of him would inevitably die after two seconds.
"No way?"
"The mycelium infection of the Fungal Variants is ineffective against him?"
"Just how high is his Negative Status Resistance?"
"Even if his Negative Status Resistance is high enough, how can he continue to move forward while Tanking the attacks of so many Fungal Variants? His Defense Power is also this ridiculous."
"Is this guy really just a Player who just reached Promotion to E-level?"
Scarface watched as Chu He acted like a god of slaughter, rampaging through the army of Fungal Variants, and felt terrified.
