I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

Late at night, in the Royal Court District, on the rooftop garden of the Governor's mansion.

Li Nuo walked through the vine-covered corridor, entered the flower bushes, and found a quiet corner.

He lay back on the chair, gazing up at the "moon" overhead, his eyes unfocused, his mind relaxed.

That banquet just now was too terrifying.

Ti Duo's relatives and friends, all sorts of aunts and uncles, flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

He not only had to remember their names, identities, backgrounds, and current jobs, but also had to greet them with the correct titles.

To transmigrate to another world and still have to deal with greetings from elders, juniors, and peers, it's just like celebrating the New Year before the transmigration. This transmigration is simply a waste...

However, it's also quite good. The Fogghes family is thriving, so he won't have to do many things himself in the future.

He only needs to come up with an idea or present a new invention, and someone will naturally take care of everything.

Li Nuo raised his hand and scratched his cheek, the rustling sound of footsteps coming from the flower bushes beside him.

Turning his head to look, the person who came was Ti Duo.

Under the artificial moonlight, the Governor's daughter, who had just turned 18, was dazzling.

Facing this fiancée he knew so little about, Li Nuo behaved more calmly than he had expected.

"Sit down, Ti Duo, I was just about to have a chat with you."

"Okay ~" Ti Duo lifted her skirt, a shallow smile hanging on her lips, and sat down beside Li Nuo, imitating his posture, half-lying in the chair, looking up at the "moon" overhead.

"You don't have to say it, I already know that you were the one who helped me cover my tracks in the treasure vault of the Undercity a month ago. Thank you."

"You're welcome, that's what I should do."

Li Nuo turned his head and asked, "Why did you help me?"

"Actually, I just thought it was fun at the time." Ti Duo turned her head, their eyes meeting.

Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, speechless.

Ti Duo was amused by Li Nuo's appearance:

"Dad asked me to put on the Hunter Duke Armor with stealth effects and secretly observe the performance of each Hunter Duke. When you were fighting, I saw many, many interesting details. For example, Osges pretends not to like Ruth on the surface, but often stares at certain parts of her body."

Ruth?

Ruth was the sixth Hunter Duke to arrive that day, wearing a tight-fitting suit and a pink-trimmed black cloak that made her body curves vaguely visible.

Li Nuo remembered this person, and at the time felt that she might be related to Slaanesh.

She was the sixth to arrive, "6" being Slaanesh's sacred number, and the pink on her body was also a color Slaanesh liked.

Based on these two points, Li Nuo had always been wary of this noble lady named Ruth Bruton.

Ti Duo turned her body, bent her arm to prop up her head, and asked with a smile:

"Take a guess, what was Ruth doing before the Judge found out?"

Ti Duo's words made Li Nuo recall the scene at that time.

He, Mona, and Wick were responsible for leading the Judges and Arbitrators to visit the treasure vault.

When approaching an area without searchlights, the Judge had the Arbitrators fire illumination rounds, lighting up the entire area.

At this time, Ruth appeared in a panic, covering the clothes on her chest with her hands, saying that she was adjusting her clothes here.

After the Judge let Ruth leave, he had the Arbitrators collect Ruth's pheromones to track her movements.

After investigation, Ruth did not take anything she shouldn't have, but accidentally dropped a piece of clothing.

"Ruth should have been changing clothes there, right? Isn't that so?" Li Nuo asked, pondering.

"No." Ti Duo shook her head, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously:

"Ruth, like you, also took some things from the treasure vault. However, she came prepared. After taking the things, she filled the jars with the tools she carried, and also used equipment to tamper with her pheromone trail."

"What did she take?"

"A metal box, the surface of the box has patterns carved in alien language. I don't know what's in the box. However, judging from Ruth's cautious appearance, it should be a relatively dangerous object."

Ti Duo paused, then whispered:

"I'm very curious, what are those light green beads you took for..."

Li Nuo knew what the green beads she was talking about were.

He had followed the system's guidance and found the magical Orc spores in a glass jar.

The appearance of these spores closely resembled light green beads.

What Ti Duo was referring to were those magical spores.

"You saw me secretly taking the beads, thought it was interesting, and helped me cover it up, is that right?"

"Yes." Ti Duo's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, gazing at Li Nuo expectantly:

"Is it because you had those green little things that you became so smart, able to invent new technologies and new potions? What are they? And how did you know about the existence of those beads?"

What a curious baby.

I knew you were going to ask that.

Fortunately, I was prepared.

This is a dangerous world, curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge often become the starting point of corruption.

Li Nuo had prepared a perfect and beautiful lie in advance, enough to satisfy Ti Duo's curiosity, while not lowering his position in her eyes.

Li Nuo sat up straight, looked left and right, and activated vibration sensing to capture the anomalies around him.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no third person around, he reached into his pocket, took out a pre-made green pill from the Fungal Warehouse.

"Here, take this." Li Nuo lowered his voice and put the green pill into Ti Duo's hand.

Ti Duo leaned closer, opened her right hand, and stared at the green bead in her palm in amazement:

"Is this what you took from the jar back then? It looks almost like candy."

Li Nuo squeezed his eyes like he was fooling a child, took out the second green bead, put it to his mouth, and made a eating motion.

Ti Duo understood, and elegantly sent the green bead into her mouth.

"Crack."

The bead was crushed by her silver teeth, and a rich aroma instantly occupied her mouth.

In the next instant, an indescribable coolness rushed from the mouth to the brain at an extremely fast speed.

"Hiss hiss hiss..." Ti Duo shivered from the sudden coldness, and subconsciously hugged Li Nuo's arm, "This...what is this? So cold, so icy...I feel like my brain is going to freeze."

"Hold on, you'll know the answer soon."

"Mm...okay...hiss hiss hiss..."

Ti Duo couldn't stop gasping for air, her body swayed with the ice waves in her mind.

After about half a minute, the icy experience slowly dissipated.

Ti Duo found that the world in her eyes had changed.

The branches swayed in the wind, their swaying speed was more gentle than before, and the naked eye could capture every detail frame by frame.

The rustling of the evening wind and the voices from downstairs also became clearer, as if she was wearing a sound pickup device.

Not only that, the smell also became different.

The fishy smell of the soil, the fragrance of the flowers, and even the aroma of wine and dishes wafting from the banquet hall could be recognized by the nose.

"I...I feel like the world has become much clearer, as if there was a layer of gauze on my face before, and it was only lifted just now."

Ti Duo shook Li Nuo's arm excitedly.

"Your changes are more than that, Ti Duo. Come, tell me as quickly as possible, what is 412 multiplied by 13?"

Ti Duo gave the answer in less than 0.1 seconds:

"5356! ... Oh! My goodness! How did my mental arithmetic ability suddenly become so strong? It's incredible! Is this the effect of that green bead?"

Yes, it's the effect of the green bead.

But this green bead is not that green bead.

What you just ate was a concentrated pill I made with Mad Doctor Witchcraft, containing Keen Eye Potion, Predatory Instinct Potion, Spiritual Wind Potion that enhances smell and hearing, Mighty Strength Potion, Nerve Acceleration Potion, and a series of alchemical potions formulated with latent adjuvants.

You are now far stronger than you imagine.

Dodging subsonic bullets, uprooting weeping willows, and a series of other operations are all within reach.

Li Nuo didn't say the above words in front of Ti Duo.

Let Ti Duo understand and imagine these things for herself.

Li Nuo handed the bead in his hand to Ti Duo, signaling her to have another one.

After Ti Duo put the green bead in her mouth and swallowed it with a gulp, Li Nuo said:

"This kind of green bead can make people smarter and more sensitive. I ate one a long time ago and remembered its taste. As soon as I entered the treasure vault, I smelled the scent of those dozen beads, and then took the risk to get them. I kept one green bead as an experimental sample. The other beads were eaten by you and me."

"Ah?" Ti Duo was immediately dumbfounded, "You you you you only kept one bead as an experimental sample? That's not enough."

Ti Duo reached out her fingers to her throat and frantically started digging, "Ooo ooo ooo..."

This scene startled Li Nuo.

He really didn't expect that Ti Duo looked dignified and ladylike on the surface, but was so fierce in secret, without even saying hello, she directly started digging her throat.

Her actions were so decisive that Li Nuo was stunned.

"Don't dig, I've already found a way to replicate this bead, so I only kept one as an experimental sample."

Li Nuo quickly pulled Ti Duo's hands away.

Crystalline saliva hung like silk threads on her fingertips and lips, reflecting light under the artificial moonlight.

Ti Duo slurped her saliva and smiled embarrassedly:

"Hehe, okay, I was too worried. You are so experienced, you must know how many beads to keep as samples."

This girl is sometimes quite silly... Li Nuo took out a handkerchief to help her wipe away the lingering saliva, stood up and said:

"Is there a laboratory in the Royal Court District?"

"There is no laboratory, but there are many empty houses. Come with me, I'll take you to pick one, you can tell me what equipment you want, and I will help you prepare it as soon as possible." Ti Duo lifted her skirt with one hand, and naturally took Li Nuo's arm with the other.

The latest and fastest novels are at 69shu.com!

The two walked through the rooftop garden under the moonlight, and walked from the main building of the Governor's mansion to the corner tower.

While choosing a suitable room for a laboratory, Li Nuo inquired about news inside and outside the Nest.

There are still two months until the next Terran year.

According to the tax payment cycle agreed upon by the Hive and the Department of Internal Affairs, the Imperial Department of Internal Affairs fleet collecting tithes will arrive in the middle of next year, which is eight Terran months from now.

Earlier today, Voges and the heads of various families drafted a list of tithe items.

In this list, Ghost Elixir is impressively included, expected to account for about 30% of the total value of the material tax.

The list has been submitted to the Imperial Department of Internal Affairs for review.

Once the review is approved, the Hive can prepare the materials according to this list.

If the review is not approved, the material tax will still be paid according to the previous list.

The current variable is whether the Ghost Elixir can be recognized by the Imperial Department of Justice and become a legal potion.

Only if this prerequisite is met can the Ghost Elixir be used to pay taxes.

"When will the Department of Justice's evaluation of the Ghost Elixir be released?" Lino asked.

"It is said that the Department of Justice and the Star Torch Court have gathered a group of researchers who are exploring ways to stabilize and control the effects of the Ghost Elixir. There are no results yet. It is estimated that it will take another two or three months to get an answer."

Lino thought for a while and roughly understood the crux of the problem:

"Well, I understand. For the local Hive nobles, this is a big gamble. If they win, they can not only use the Ghost Elixir to pay taxes, but also make huge profits by selling the potion externally. If they lose the gamble, their losses will be far less than the Governor's. Because paying tithes is the Governor's responsibility, not theirs. If there is not enough tax revenue, it is the Governor who will suffer imperial punishment, not the Hive nobles."

"You're right, so Dad had a big argument with the people from various families today. However, things are different now."

Tido smiled:

"Now that we have the new technology you developed, we can completely increase the production of synthetic starch and use it to prepare next year's tithes in advance. In this way, no matter how those nobles mess around, we will have a way to gather enough tax revenue."

The two passed the open-air balcony, Lino stopped and looked at the distant city night scene and asked:

"Tido, haven't you ever thought about cleaning up these families?"

"I have, of course I have, but there have always been rebels outside the Hive, which has held up most of the Planetary Defense Force's troops. Even if we want to clean up the disobedient families, we don't have enough manpower."

Lino frowned slightly, muttering in his heart.

He didn't know if he was overthinking it, but he always felt that the rebels were inseparable from the Wanse family.

The Wanse family's main business is the production and sale of weapons.

About half of the weapons are used to pay taxes every year, and the remaining half are sold to the Planetary Defense Force.

The Planetary Defense Force's funds come from the Governor.

Therefore, selling weapons to the Planetary Defense Force is equivalent to taking money from the Governor's pocket.

As long as the rebels continue to exist, the Planetary Defense Force must purchase weapons every year, and the Wanse family has always been the beneficiary.

It is hard not to suspect that the Wanse family is behind it.

Lino said what he was thinking, and Tido nodded in agreement, but also expressed helplessness.

"Dad sent the 8th Guard to be stationed in the Planetary Defense Force, but so far, no clues have been found that the rebels are colluding with the Wanse family. Therefore, we have no way to attack the Wanse family."

"It seems that the Governor has more things to worry about than I, a special agent, do." Lino joked, and then said:

"I need information about the Wanse family, the rebels, and the Planetary Defense Force. I want to read all the information. I have a feeling that the rebels outside the city will one day cause a disaster."

Tido pursed her lips and responded seriously:

"Okay! I'll have someone prepare it right away."

Lino shook his head in thought:

"I think it's best not to let the people below do it. The effect of doing it yourself is better. The information I want must be first-hand information, such as on-site recordings, videos, documents, etc. No news or action reports."

"You mean, someone is fooling us and helping the Wanse family cover up certain secrets?"

"Yes, Tido. When I lived in the Lower Hive, I heard a businessman talk about his success story. Others need to spend tens of millions of credit points to complete a business, but this businessman only needs a few million. Do you know why?"

"Because he knows better how to spend money where it counts?"

Lino nodded slightly:

"You can say that, but not entirely. The secret of that businessman's success is to never trust the reports, statements, and other documents submitted by subordinates. If you want to know the real data of your company, you must personally observe every production link on the production line.

"Another businessman heard about this secret of success and ran to his factory to check all the production processes. The next day, more than a dozen bodies were found in the ruins area. They were all moths in the factory who were doing nothing. It was these moths who beautified the reports and concealed their acts of encroachment, and they paid the price with their lives."

Lino paused for a few seconds and gave Tido, who was thoughtful, a meaningful smile:

"Guess how many people will be killed by the Governor when we personally investigate the rebels and the Planetary Defense Force? I guarantee that the number will exceed your imagination."

Tido nodded up and down, seemingly understanding, and muttered:

"Your idea coincides with Delton's. You two are worthy of being special agents, and your views are surprisingly consistent."

"Huh? Delton also said the same thing as me?"

Lino felt a little surprised.

He didn't expect that this middle-aged special agent leader with undiminished heroism would think of the same thing as himself.

Tido took out the data panel, opened the log, searched for it, and opened a document for Lino to check.

The document was a memorandum, and the content showed that as early as when Delton took office as the captain of the 9th Guard, he put forward the same point of view as Lino.

If the Mending Sect and the Ghost Mushrooms had not appeared, Delton would have arranged for special agents to investigate the Wanse family long ago.

However, it is not too late now.

The 7th Guard was transferred to Delton by the Governor because they failed to catch the illegal businessman.

Delton has enough manpower to find out the details of the Wanse family.

As long as there is sufficient evidence to prove that the Wanse family is plotting wrongdoing, there are ways to uproot the Wanse family.

"Most of the first-hand information you want is provided by Delton. Why don't we build the laboratory and then go to Delton to check his database together? His database is not connected to the Hive network and can only be viewed there."

"Okay, that's fine, let's do it this way. Let's try to arrange the laboratory and other matters within a few days."

The two quickened their pace and walked through the corridors of the mansion.

...

...

"Oh hey, Hakas, why are you so late?"

Bomin Bay, on the deck of a cruise ship, a group of people were drinking and enjoying themselves to light music.

Visberg Wanse held a wine bottle in each of his left and right hands, surrounded by enchanting women.

When he saw Hakas, who had arrived by speedboat, he complained loudly:

"Where have you been? It's almost midnight. Without you, we have less fun. Isn't that right, guys?"

The last sentence was shouted towards the dance floor behind him.

The men and women in the dance floor laughed and echoed loudly.

"Yeah, Hakas, without you, we have no one to tell jokes."

"Come on, come on! We've saved you a spot!"

Hakas is the son of the chief merchant of the Coin Guild, but he is only the youngest one, and is basically equivalent to a mascot at home.

He is the youngest among the people on the ship and is often teased in various ways.

He is already a carefree person, and sometimes he is even more outspoken, so naturally he will not care about this kind of entertainment.

He brought a body of alcohol, opened his arms, and shouted at the laughing crowd:

"Good news, everyone! Look who I brought! Our young master Osges is out of seclusion early!"

Osges boarded the deck of the cruise ship from the speedboat, looking radiant, with no signs of decadence or frustration.

His appearance made the atmosphere at the scene even more high-pitched.

The sky above Bomin Bay was filled with a lively atmosphere.
