Chapter 764: Chapter 527: The Price of Returning to Blue Star
The story told by Shiban ends here.

After hearing it, everyone fell silent.
"So, you’re saying that until now, you still owe it a wish."
Li Pu caught part of what Shiban wanted to express.
"That’s right, bop."
Shiban nodded and continued, "Actually, I know you want to use my power to make a wish, bop."
"But before completing the current transaction, demonic laws don’t allow for a new transaction, bop."
Due to the nature of the transaction, it can’t even be too far from the Mushroom Warrior.
If the distance is exceeded, it will automatically teleport to its side.
Except in cases like being ground to pieces by Great Monster Instestines.
"So I hope you can help it find its own wish."
"I’ve followed it for too long now."
"Bop."
Glancing at the Mushroom Warrior, it voiced its request.
It hadn’t mentioned this before because it was still wary of them.
Now, after some careful observation, it believes these humans are quite trustworthy.
The summoned beasts aren’t bad either, except for that small marsupial that’s always trying to swallow it whole.
"But I see you two seem to get along quite well, no?"
Qian Shanshan questioned.
Although, for them, the best solution would clearly be to help Shiban resolve the current transaction, and then help them return to Blue Star.
But from an emotional standpoint, she couldn’t help but speak out.
After all, she could tell they actually care about each other, although the Mushroom Warrior was more discreet in showing it.
Besides, if even Shiban wasn’t around, this reckless guy might cause even more trouble.
"No, you might not fully understand, bop."
Shiban shook its head in response.
"I believe you’ve noticed during this time, it is indeed different."
"To put it in simpler terms, in the world of mushrooms, it is indeed a hero-like existence."
"Bop."
This statement resonated with everyone.
Though it’s occasionally silly, things like immortality, hero radar, hero aura do indeed exist with the Mushroom Warrior.
They had joked privately from early on about whether this guy was some favored son of a dimensional plane.
Now hearing it from Shiban, a demon that knows more, certainly increased its credibility.
"But do you know, the combination of a hero and a demon actually violates the rules, bop."
"That’s why its strength has never grown, bop."
It further revealed a truth.
"Is there a possibility that it’s just inherently unpromising?"
At this point, Wu Guinan couldn’t hold back.
Because if that’s the case, the Mushroom Warrior before meeting Shiban seemed to have experienced no growth either.
To this day, it still can’t defeat a wanted criminal with a bounty of 500 mushroom coins.
"Team member C, have you ever considered a question, bop."
Shiban looked at Wu Guinan.
"Without sufficient strength, how could it emerge from a perilous realm, bop."
It said this.
"Dying out?"
Long Ren raised an eyebrow.
Even if each death took it only a few meters farther, if the deaths were numerous enough, it should still be able to escape.
In a game he played, this was called corpse dragging.
"Uh... you’re smart, team member B."
"However, it didn’t die once at that time, bop."
Shiban dismissed this notion.
"Why is he B, and I’m C?"
"Because I’m better looking than you, disagree?"
This title, though, sparked an air of tension between Wu Guinan and Long Ren.
"So what you’re saying is, ever since you started following it, its strength has been gradually declining?"
Chang Shoushang grasped the other party’s meaning.
"Yes, bop."
Shiban nodded.
You should know when they first met, the Mushroom Warrior had the strength to die alongside the Dragon Beast.
The Dragon Beast that expelled it to the realm didn’t last long either and perished in the realm.

Upon Shiban’s confession, the five fell silent.
They didn’t expect this hidden story between Shiban and the Mushroom Warrior.
Nor did they expect Shiban cared so much for the Mushroom Warrior.
Even more surprising was that the cute and silly Mushroom Warrior was once strong.
"I understand now."
"What you’re saying is, if we want to make a wish to you."
"Then the first step is letting this guy discover its own wish, and then making a wish to you."
Ultimately, it was Li Pu who first broke the silence, summarizing with folded arms.
"That’s right, just like that, bop."
Shiban nodded.
At this point, the Mushroom Warrior, lying drunk and muddled on the ground, turned over.
"My wish is... world peace!"
It murmured, spitting out a sentence.
Upon hearing this, Li Pu and the others immediately turned their gaze to Shiban.
"Such a ridiculous wish, demons can’t fulfill it, bop."
Shiban looked embarrassed and annoyed.
It’s just a demon, not a deity.
And even if it were a deity, it probably couldn’t do it either, right?
Everyone thought the same; such a wish was too remote.
"Wait a minute, I have a question."
But Li Pu suddenly thought of something.
Currently, they know nothing about Shiban’s abilities.
So, does it even have the capability to send everyone back?
