Even if Fang Weixuan said that the mushrooms wouldn't hurt much, Gu Bai still updated his Facebook and explained how the uneatable mushrooms would affect them in detail.
Gu Bai did everything he could do so that he wouldn't regret it. As for how those people would choose and how their consequences would be, he could neither control nor stop them.
Since the game in the wild was recorded temporarily, the third contest was delayed two days so that the contestants could have a good rest.
The crops on Gu Bai's farm were growing well. Soon, they would be ripe, and then Gu Bai could enjoy them in real life.
He couldn't wait for it.
The thirst urged him to look for something to eat in the Second World.
However, the materials in this world were too limited because many of them had not been discovered yet. Luckily, since Gu Bai had discovered sweet potatoes and mushrooms, he had new ideas.
Since all the natural environments such as the forests of the Second World were copied from reality, it worked the other way around.
It was undoubtedly the forest and the mountains which had the richest resources. After all, in the primitive era, humans relied on them to survive.
So, Gu Bai didn't waste any time. After his business in Blue Star ended, he didn't go offline immediately but went to the forest, expecting to find other eatable materials.
"Where are you going?" asked Mu Mu.
Gu Bai replied, "The forest."
"Let me join you."
Gu Bai thought for a second and then nodded. They wouldn't confront any risks at the edge of the forest, so he would like to have company.
They were heading to the forest where the last game was held. On their way there, Gu Bai found more and more people around them, who seemed to head toward the same direction.
When they reached the edge of the forest, Gu Bai knew he was right. The place was full of people as if it were a big tourist attraction.
"Ling, is that Xiaobai?" A girl suddenly pulled her companion excitedly and looked at Gu Bai.
Her companion followed her gaze and recognized Gu Bai as well.
"Is he here for raw materials as well? Ever since he found sweet potatoes and mushrooms here yesterday, many people have come here to try their luck. The sweet potatoes and mushrooms that Xiaobai found have been taken away." The girl smirked with dissatisfaction. She and her friend were a bit slower than others, but they didn't get any when they got there. Therefore, they agreed that they should come again, but they didn't expect to meet Bai Xiaobai here.
"We should quietly follow Xiaobai later. He might lead us to more things," Xiaoling said to her friend in a low voice.
Instead of wandering around in the forest, they preferred to follow Xiaobai's steps. After all, Xiaobai was experienced enough to lead them to more materials.
Obviously, there were a lot of people who thought the same way as the two girls. When Gu Bai and Mu Mu entered the forest, they were followed by many of them.
At first, Gu Bai didn't realize that those people were following him, thinking the forest was public and these people happened to share the same way with him temporarily.
But when he and Mu Mu took a few turns and changed a few paths, trying to get rid of these people, they found these people were still following them from a distance. Finally, Gu Bai was sure that these people were up to something.
However, Gu Bai could tell they were up to no bad, thinking to himself that some people had recognized him and wanted to join him to find more food.
It was the first time Gu Bai realized that he might really have fans who liked and learned his dishes. He was glad to know that, so he let them continue.
At the same time, Mu Mu noticed the same and frowned, feeling unhappy. He suddenly grabbed Gu Bai's hand and pulled him to run before the following ones realized what had happened. After a few turns, they ran so fast and got rid of them in the end.
"Hooh... Before you run, you should have at least let me know," Gu Bai gasped and his heart was beating violently. He hadn't exercised so intensely for a long time and didn't feel comfortable.
"Sorry," Mu Mu apologized sincerely.
Gu Bai glanced at Mu Mu and asked, "Why did you run all of a sudden?"
"I didn't want them to follow you all the time," said Mu Mu.
"And why is that?" Gu Bai asked deliberately.
"Just because."
"Haha... Let's go then," said Gu Bai with a smile.
Ever since he knew Mu Mu, the latter was always calm and quiet, but Gu Bai could never ignore him. Instead, it felt good to stay with him.
Due to the limited time and cameras on the live stream last time, Gu Bai didn't have a chance to go into the deep forest. Today, he decided to dig deeper, expecting to find more new ingredients.
The forest was worthy of being the biggest gift of nature. He saw tall trees, green grass, and colorful flowers. A scene of vitality greeted their eyes.
It had been a long time since Gu Bai saw such a vibrant forest.
Since the beginning of doomsday, human cities had been destroyed as the Corpse Virus spread. The forest was no exception. The plants were either mutated or dead after infection. The forest was no longer green but turned black. Gu Bai never felt comfortable seeing that.
The appearance of the interstellar era meant that human beings failed to survive the world but were forced to leave their planet and find a new life in the universe.
Gu Bai couldn't help wondering what the Earth had become after so many years.
"Is that eatable?" asked Mu Mu as he pointed at the fruits hanging from the trees in front of him.
Gu Bai came to his senses, followed Mu Mu's instruction, and saw green fruits bending the branches and falling into the air, seeming tempting.
He hurriedly ran over and carefully observed the fruit. Then he picked up one of them and cut a piece of it with the knife he brought with him. As the yellow fruit appeared, its unique fragrance of the fruit was emitted in an instant.
Gu Bai took a bite of it. The smooth texture and the faint bitterness had proved it was a mango indeed. Although it didn't look the same on Earth, the smell and taste were similar.
He didn't expect that he would bump into a mango tree not long after he entered the forest. From the size of it, he could tell that the mango was ripe. He could eat it directly if he could take it home for a day or two.
"It's eatable. And it tastes very good. I can give you that. Let's take more back so that I can make you something nice to eat." Gu Bai smiled brightly.
There were a lot of delicacies, especially desserts, that could be made with mangoes. It would be beyond their imagination.
"All right." Mu Mu felt happy to see Gu Bai in a good mood, so he joined him to pick up more mangoes.
Given what he had experienced yesterday, Gu Bai had brought a large space button this time, which had cost one-third of his savings.
He would feel sorry if he didn't fill it today!
The tree was not big, but some of the mangoes were relatively high and Gu Bai wasn't tall enough to reach them.
"I should have set my height higher when I first came here," Gu Bai sighed as he looked at the mangoes.
"The initial criteria can only modify your appearance, not your height," said Mu Mu subconsciously.
Gu Bai was stunned.
