After the Mushroom King Summoned Heroes from Another World

A dirt-poor, penny-pinching provider god × a hilarious, chaos-loving player with incredible self-motivation “Can’t you just let me grow mushrooms in peace?” Bai Mogu worked himself to death pulling overtime. The good news: he came back to life. The bad news: he wasn’t human anymore. Even worse, parasitic beetles would arrive for dinner in thirty seconds. Mushrooms don’t have feet. He couldn’t run away even if he wanted to To save his own life, he disguised himself as the game Mycelium Era and urgently summoned mushroom heroes to come to his rescue. But his very first devoted follower, Extremely Handsome, was streaming chaotic stunts and dissing him. My mushroom life is over! After exploiting wave after wave of players, Bai Mogu thought he was on the path to mushroom greatness. Who knew the players would be such a handful? The dignified Mushroom King, Lord of the Mycelium Abyss of Eldra, and guardian deity of the underworld spent every day fixing bugs, staying up all night until he was practically bald. “Which unfilial brat put Abyssal Bug Monster droppings in their spatial inventory? Don’t you know this is your dad’s ‘home’?” “Who’s causing trouble again, blowing up the shopping district with explosives?” “You rotten mushrooms, stop drawing memes of your lord and master in the defense fortress. Who started the rumor that they’d scare off the enemy bugs? Step forward!” Bai Mogu (spraying spores furiously): Today, I’m going to show you freeloaders that mushrooms aren’t to be messed with.
