I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

“Wow, awesome, boss! Did Brother Mao the Second answer our prayers!?”

[The weak Orc lad gave you 10 likes, Score + 10.]

System text floated before his eyes.

When he rescued the primitive humans earlier, like notifications also popped up.

Li Nuo didn't have the time to consider using the primitive humans to farm simulation points, and kicked the little Orc's butt.

“Hurry up and get inside, you're full of rhymes, do you want to be a war boss?”

The brain-scrambling technique on the female primitive human was dispelled. Under Li Nuo's urging, the human and the Orc entered the stone building.

Li Nuo found a hidden corner to squat, closely monitoring the dynamic information on the system interface.

Half an hour later, the little Orc trotted out of the building, looking excited, as if he had discovered a lot of gold.

“Boss! Boss! With Brother Gao and Brother Mao watching over us, I saw a lot of big cans, with shiny treasures inside, and a lot of hard iron lumps. We can definitely pull off a big score here!”

“Wait, don't come over yet.” Li Nuo used the brain-scrambling technique to freeze the little Orc, carefully checking the system interface.

Selecting Reward Exchange 2, Li Nuo used the little Orc as a simulation target.

The system began calculating the simulation point cost.

[The simulation target is an All-Rounder Lad, the simulation starting price is 100 units of Mysterious Spores.]

[The simulation target has not undergone mechanical modification, has not been corrupted by Chaos, has not been affected by other negative influences, and is not in a combat state.]

[The final simulation price is 100 * (1+0%) = 100 units of Mysterious Spores.]

The so-called “All-Rounder Lad” was a name Li Nuo gave him.

These Orcs haven't reached the level of being all-rounders yet, they only integrated small gene fragments from various Orc units such as Tech Lads, Pain Lads, Mad Docs, Rancher Lads, Flyer Lads, Tank Lads, Psyker Lads, and Weirdboy Lads.

These gene fragments from different Orc units are not perfect, they need more coordination and integration to allow the All-Rounder Lad to utilize the advantages of different Orc units.

This gene project is vast in scale, involving plant, animal, and fungal genes simultaneously. The system's help is limited.

The current total R\u0026D progress is only about 1%. There is still a long way to go.

In Li Nuo's vision, the final product of the All-Rounder Lad will be used to develop the next generation of 'Nid Statt.

However, it's too early to talk about these things now.

The All-Rounder Lad in front of him was bait released by Li Nuo, with the purpose of luring Chaos Daemons.

Since the system determined that the All-Rounder Lad had not been corrupted by Chaos, the stone building should be safe.

Li Nuo snapped his fingers, dispelling the little Orc's brain-scrambling technique, and officially stepped into the gate of the stone building.

The little Orc followed beside him, dancing with excitement.

“Boss, I saw a big treasure with a propeller. I'll make you a clack-clack big machine. There are also a lot of stinky things in that place, I think we can raise a dozen Squigs…”

The little Orc chattered non-stop.

Everything he saw triggered his 'I Think' power, allowing him to discover corresponding witchcraft in the gene knowledge base.

From Ranching Witchcraft, Mad Doc Witchcraft, Mechanical Witchcraft, to Psyker Witchcraft, and Weirdboy Witchcraft, the little Orc spoke eloquently about everything.

The R\u0026D progress of the All-Rounder Lad is currently only 1%. It's hard to imagine what kind of existence will appear when it reaches 100%.

Could it be that I accidentally created an Ancient Orc?

Li Nuo narrowed his eyes, suddenly feeling that developing the All-Rounder Lad so early was not a good thing. His current strength was too weak, and he was very likely to suffer backlash.

Turning his head to look at the jumping little Orc, Li Nuo wondered if he should send him on his way now, to avoid any trouble.

Perhaps sensing the coldness in Li Nuo's eyes, the little Orc's body trembled. He knelt on the ground with a thud, hugged the boss's thigh, and began to cry, snot and tears flowing.

“Boss, don't abandon me. Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. My life is yours. You eat Squig meat, I'll eat Squig poop, or you can eat me, but don't drive me away…”

“Alright, get up.” Li Nuo rolled his eyes, thinking that he shouldn't have added the “Grot” gene fragment to the All-Rounder Lad.

This obsequious and comical behavior comes from the most special unit among the Orcs - the Grot.

Grots are rare among the Orcs for their high emotional intelligence. They laugh when they should laugh, cry when they should cry, and can provide great emotional value to other Orcs, making them very popular.

Therefore, in the Orc community, Grots are generally regarded as mascots.

The Steel Gut Tribe currently only has one Grot.

The relevant gene fragments in the little Orc's body were extracted from this Grot.

“You said it yourself, whatever I ask you to do, you'll do it. From now on, if I find out that you've done something you shouldn't have, I'll hang you on the propeller and whip you.”

The little Orc went from tears to laughter in an instant, his mood instantly switching from cloudy to sunny. He stood up quickly and wiped the snot off Li Nuo's leg, “Okay, boss. Boss is the most awesome, boss is the strongest, boss is the most…”

“Quiet, I'm thinking.” Li Nuo clenched his right fist and knocked it on the little Orc's forehead.

“Oh, oh, oh.” The little Orc covered his mouth, widened his eyes, and looked up at his boss with admiration.

Li Nuo's gaze fell on something he was all too familiar with.

It was a stone passage occupying the road ahead, extending downwards in a spiral.

The walls on both sides of the passage were covered with a large number of carvings resembling human tailbones.

Without a doubt, this was a Howling Passage.

The same thing had appeared in the Underhive of Epimethius.

But the Howling Passage in front of him was different. It did not emit the psychic waves that caused auditory hallucinations.

At this time, it was as quiet as an ordinary alien civilization ruin, without any special characteristics.

Li Nuo stepped into the spiraling downward passage, arriving at the end point in ten minutes.

When he saw the scene at the end, the words “As expected” appeared in his mind.

This was a vast underground stone cave, with traces of artificial carving, estimated to cover more than ten thousand square meters.

Stone pillars with carvings stood here, emitting a faint white light, barely illuminating every corner of the stone cave.

The underground stone cave had five floors, each with the same layout: spacious, quiet, filled with the atmosphere of sealed history, and with a large number of traces of human activity.

At the end of the fifth underground floor, two stone doors over twenty meters high appeared on the wall.

The stone doors had been opened, exposing a gap wide enough for two people to pass through side by side.

Although the scene inside the door was within Li Nuo's expectations, his heart rate still couldn't help but quicken.

Tall rock shelves were lined up in the vault, each neatly arranged with pottery jars, glass jars, and culture tanks.

All kinds of containers contained jewelry, antiques, safes, technical data, and other items.

The outer shells of the containers were embedded with nameplates bearing cuneiform writing.

This was a vault built by the Bone Drinker civilization, its layout was similar to the vault Li Nuo had seen in the Epimethius Underhive, but the collections in the vault were significantly different.

Was this a coincidence, or some kind of arrangement from the Bone Drinker civilization?

Two primitive humans were lying behind the door of the vault, with food scraps on the ground nearby.

The male primitive human was snoring loudly, and the female primitive human brought a pile of canned food and bottled purified water to Li Nuo before lying down to sleep next to the male primitive human.

The canned food and assembled plastic water were well preserved. The inner layer was metal packaging, and the outside was covered with a vacuum bag, with no signs of air leakage or swelling.

Li Nuo wasn't hungry for the time being. He told the little Orc to keep watch at the door, while he went to collect upgrade items.

After entering the door, in the depths of the third row of shelves from the left, a green cursor was marked by the system.

That was the closest upgrade item to Li Nuo.

After approaching, a cylindrical metal can appeared in front of him, the surface of the can covered with a thick layer of dust.

The green cursor hovered inside the can. He had to find a way to open the can.

Li Nuo swept away the dust on the surface of the can and found a keyhole where a mechanical key could be inserted.

He activated the mechanical witchcraft he had learned and made a universal lock pick on the spot.

After a series of clicks, the mechanical lock released its locked state, and the curved outer shell of the can popped open.

The upgrade item indicated by the green cursor was a light green bead, larger than a Mysterious Spore, about the size of a ping pong ball.

Li Nuo held it in his hand, and system text appeared.

[Name: Mysterious Language Spore.]

[Type: Ancient Saint Creation.]

[Unique Use:]

[Eat Me!]

[Description:]

[This item carries the blueprints for the 'Universal Translator' and the 'Speech Spirit'. These two blueprints have been lost and have never appeared in the existing Orc gene knowledge base. They can only be unlocked by eating this blueprint.]

[The Universal Translator can automatically translate alien languages. The 'Speech Spirit' allows you to permanently learn an alien language you want to learn.]

This thing is meant to be eaten?

Li Nuo stared at the spore on his fingertip for a moment, then ate the spore in one gulp. Immediately, his body shook, and a large amount of information appeared in his mind, which he quickly digested and memorized.

This state was similar to when he activated the 'I Think' power. Li Nuo didn't spend much effort and learned two Orc technology blueprints.

When the information surge in his mind subsided, Li Nuo took out the Orc fungal materials from the fungal warehouse and made a 'Speech Spirit' on the spot for himself to use.

When drinking the 'Speech Spirit', Li Nuo silently recited “I want to learn the language of the Bone Drinkers” in his heart, and then drank it down in one gulp.

When the potion took effect, the language knowledge of the Bone Drinkers appeared in his mind.

Li Nuo looked around and his gaze fell on the huge stone tablet standing in the center of the vault.

After reading the words on the stone tablet, Li Nuo roughly understood the purpose of this vault.

This was not a place for the Bone Drinkers to hoard treasures, but a secret base for them to restart their civilization.

Each row of shelves contained items to help the person who opened the vault learn the Bone Drinker language.

Crystal matrices sealed in exquisite crystal jars would attract Eldar spirit creatures, and their interiors contained psionic codes written in both Eldar and Bone Drinker languages.

Psionic potions sealed in vacuum packaging could be drunk by any intelligent race, and the psionic effects of the potions would instill the Bone Drinker language into them.

Various language carriers met the needs of different civilizations and races to quickly learn the Bone Drinker language.

Among the many language carriers was a language carrier specifically prepared for humans—a data cartridge in vacuum packaging.

These language carriers would not allow users to be parasitized by the Bone Drinkers.

While helping visitors learn the Bone Drinker language, they also conveyed a request from the Bone Drinker civilization:

Visitors to the vault could freely use and possess any of the vault's treasures, including the Bone Drinkers' parasitic spores.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu bar!

If a visitor was at odds with a certain civilization, they could release the parasitic spores into the territory of the opposing civilization.

The Bone Drinkers would help the visitor infect the opposing civilization, thereby rebuilding their own civilization.

Any visitor who released parasitic spores would gain friendship from the Bone Drinkers, who promised not to actively infect the visitor's planet after the visitor met certain requirements.

Of course, visitors to the vault could also choose not to help the Bone Drinkers rebuild their civilization.

But please remember, everything has a price.

If visitors only took treasures from the vault but did not help the Bone Drinkers rebuild their civilization,

then, when the Bone Drinker civilization revived in other corners of the galaxy, planets that only took treasures and did not help the Bone Drinker civilization rebuild would be liquidated by the Bone Drinkers, who would inevitably make these greedy planets pay a painful price.

The Bone Drinkers meant what they said and were capable of doing it.

Before being besieged by the Human Empire's Eighth Legion and the Space Wolves, they had secretly built no fewer than 100 vaults in the Halo Stars and Solar Segmentum, each vault corresponding to a planet with a large number of intelligent life forms.

As long as a visitor to one vault released the parasitic spores, the Bone Drinker civilization would inevitably make a comeback, seeking revenge on the greedy takers and the Human Empire.

Human Empire planets that helped the Bone Drinkers rebuild their civilization could be excluded from the revenge plan after meeting the conditions.

The Bone Drinkers' plan to rebuild their civilization had actually begun to bear fruit.

The star scrap yard of Niderlaven XV was an example.

It was possible that one or more people or aliens who disliked Niderlaven XV had unearthed the Bone Drinkers' vault, learned the Bone Drinker language, and learned about the Bone Drinkers' plan to rebuild their civilization.

Out of hostile intentions, these people or aliens released the Bone Drinkers' parasitic spores into the territory of Niderlaven XV.

As a result, Niderlaven XV was out of luck, the Bone Drinker civilization began to rebuild, and their own territory received the Bone Drinkers' promise that it would not be actively infected by the Bone Drinkers, which could be said to be a win-win-win situation.

Li Nuo had no doubt that someone or an alien would do this, after all, the Warhammer world was never short of ambitious people and psychopathic war criminals.

Without further ado, after Li Nuo understood the situation, he turned and ran towards the second upgrade item.

This item was a magical spore contained in a pottery jar, with a quantity of 13, and its purpose was the same as the existing magical spores.

The inscription on the pottery jar read "Suspected Ork reproductive spores, purpose unknown."

It seemed that the Bone Drinkers had studied the magical spores, but had not figured out why.

Li Nuo took the 13 magical spores into his pocket and found the third upgrade item.

This thing was a bit unexpected, it was actually a gene editing device manufactured by the Bone Drinker civilization.

The Bone Drinkers loved stones and bones, so this device used these two materials extensively.

It occupied more than five meters and was at least ten meters high, and the main structure resembled a skull hand with the palm facing up.

The five bone fingers of the skull hand had different functions, corresponding to:

a gene probe for obtaining gene samples,

a transmitter for emitting mutagenic lasers,

a force field scalpel for efficiently cutting experimental samples,

a laser suture device for efficiently suturing samples,

and a unique gene device of the Bone Drinker civilization, a fungal gene recombination device!

When Li Nuo saw the identification result of this device, he was stunned, and instantly experienced the feeling of a tech-priest seeing a "technical heresy."

Xenos technology belonged to technical heresy, and in the name of the Omnissiah, they should be destroyed immediately, but it was really too tempting.

No wonder some machine priests within the Mechanicus were specifically responsible for archaeology.

In the Warhammer world, archaeology could indeed lead to technological development.

Were the recovered technical data still called heretical technology? It was clearly lost human technology, okay?

The more Li Nuo looked at the gene editing device, the more envious he became, and he almost drooled.

The Bone Drinkers could parasitize any living body, and their powerful parasitism came from their unparalleled fungal gene recombination technology.

Simply put:

The Bone Drinkers added a gene function to themselves that could fuse with any living body.

If the parasitic target was a human, then the Bone Drinkers' gene fragments would spontaneously recombine and fuse with the human's gene fragments to form a gene fragment that had both fungal and human characteristics.

Similarly, if the parasitic target was a plant or animal, the Bone Drinkers' gene fragments would fuse with the plant's or animal's genes to produce gene fragments containing fungal characteristics.

In the new gene fragments, the gene coding from the Bone Drinkers accounted for the majority, and the Bone Drinkers used this to achieve control and dominance over the infected.

Without saying a word, Li Nuo absorbed this uniquely styled gene editing device and upgraded the system on the spot.

[Upgrade complete!]

[The fungal simulation function has added an automated simulation option: fungal gene recombination.]

[This function can convert the gene fragments of non-fungal life forms into fungal gene fragments.]

[The purity of the converted gene fragments will be greatly reduced, but it can be used for fungal gene simulation.]

Li Nuo's heart was surging, and he heard the roar of blood rushing in his ears.

From now on, he could indirectly edit the gene fragments of non-fungal life forms!

The significance of this upgrade was enough to make any scientific researcher dizzy.

But soon, Li Nuo forced himself to calm down.

As a genuine university graduate student in the field of microbiology, he had the ethical and moral concepts he should have in his heart.

He knew what kind of research could be done and what could not be done.

As Li Nuo warned himself, the system also sent a reminder.

[System prompt:]

[Automated gene recombination function may cause unexpected major disasters.]

[Therefore, this function is restricted to use in the simulation space and cannot be performed in the physical universe.]

[The products created by this function will be sealed by the fungal warehouse, in a state of time stasis without thought or consciousness.]

[Please be sure to be cautious when using such products.]

Taking a deep breath, he calmed the excitement in his heart.

Li Nuo walked around the vault, stopping and looking at other treasures.

Many treasures seemed to have been damaged by primitive people, but there were also many that were intact.

Mech engines, power armor components, automated assembly platforms for weapons and equipment, plasma furnaces, and other things were all available.

Before building a vault, the Bone Drinkers would first survey the planet's condition to determine which life form on the planet had more development prospects.

The humanoid life forms on this planet had the advantage, so the treasures in the vault were mostly things that humanoid life forms could use and study.

If the primitive people had enough time to study these things, they might usher in a technological explosion.

Unfortunately, they were targeted by the Cold Trade Group before they touched the threshold of civilization advancement.

"Huh? What is this? A control device?"

Li Nuo stopped at the top of a certain shelf, his eyes falling on the only treasure on this floor.

It was a mechanical button placed on a circular pillar, with a stone tablet next to it.

The wedge-shaped writing on the stone tablet meant something like this:

Visitors who discover this vault can use this place as a temporary shelter. After pressing the button, the security facilities arranged by the Bone Drinkers outside the vault will be activated.

The security facilities include a large protective force field and a stone passage that can devour uninvited guests.

After the stone passage and protective force field are activated, these two will self-destruct in 9 to 10 years due to energy exhaustion.

Other than that, there are no other ways to close the stone passage and protective force field.

The stone tablet showed a layout diagram of the security facilities.

The protective force field was spherical, with a large coverage area, which could encompass the vault and the five-story underground grotto.

The Howling Passage was on the edge of the force field, half inside the force field and half outside the force field.

After the force field was activated, the Howling Passage was the only access passage, and the five-story underground grotto was a place left by the Bone Drinkers for visitors to reproduce and engage in production work.

Overall, it looked pretty good.

As long as the force field could be activated normally, it would not be a problem for the humans inside the force field to survive for 9 to 10 years.

It had to be said that the Bone Drinkers had really put a lot of effort into encouraging visitors to help them rebuild their civilization.
