I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

The "male primitive" lay flat on the ground, the venomous expression on his face gradually hardening as his body temperature dropped.

His abdomen had been burned through by a laser beam, the cross-section of the wound a charred black, exposing the remains of the Bone Drinker on the outside of his spine – the ashes of the high-temperature calcified fungal strain.

Xiao Xi lay on the man's corpse, sobbing uncontrollably, yet unable to hate the space beast that had killed her man.

In fact, from the moment the male primitive actively allowed the Bone Drinker to infect him, he was no longer himself.

His body, his consciousness, even his soul, had all become puppets of the Bone Drinker, essentially an alien wearing a human shell.

Putting himself in her shoes, if he were Xiao Xi's husband, with limited horizons, a lack of knowledge, and an overly backward level of technology, how would he break free from this predicament?

Li Nuo shook his head slightly, stopping himself from thinking further.

He didn't like empathizing with people he had only known for a short time, nor did he have a habit of doing so.

Subconsciously putting himself in their place was merely to prevent himself from becoming flustered and disoriented when facing the same situation in the future, a mental rehearsal in advance.

With this kind of mental preparation, he wouldn't panic if he encountered a similar desperate situation in the future.

Clicking on the system interface to create a character save, Li Nuo possessed Space.

[You have consumed 3000 simulation points to create the 6th save.]

[All-Rounder Boy - Beast has been saved successfully.]

[He will serve as the second-in-command of the Space Wolf Clan while you are 'offline', diligently executing your instructions.]

[You have consumed 1 Magical Spore to read the save of Ork Boy - Space.]

[Reading successful.]

The scene before his eyes shifted as Li Nuo's consciousness transferred from Beast to Space.

Beast regained control of his body.

This kid immediately jumped up and did a front flip, slamming down in front of Li Nuo with a loud thud, performing a full prostration.

"Boss, you're my god! You're too awesome! You can actually get into my body! You're a god! Boss! You're my god!"

Li Nuo paused for a moment and asked:

"Can you feel my consciousness descending into your body?"

"Yes, Boss, it's too Waaaaagh! Too awesome and cool! I reckon you're definitely my god!"

[You have received 100 worships from All-Rounder Boy - Beast, score +2000.]

Li Nuo nodded to himself, having anticipated that Beast would be able to sense his consciousness possessing him.

Beast carried fragments of the Grot and the Weirdboy within him.

These two were the only entities with high emotional intelligence within the Ork community.

The Grot's intelligence was very low, trading it for extremely high emotional intelligence, making him undoubtedly the best at observing changes in other people's emotions.

When the Steel Courage Tribe gave birth to a Grot, Li Nuo tried to possess him and felt extremely strong emotional fluctuations.

Fortunately, Grots were extremely rare and protected by the psychic field, otherwise, this level of emotional fluctuation would definitely cause ripples in the Warp.

It was precisely this unique emotional mechanism and extremely high emotional intelligence that allowed the Grot to detect Li Nuo's presence.

After Li Nuo finished possessing the Grot, he returned to Weirdboy - Zak, and Zak's temperament and eyes underwent slight changes.

These subtle changes were usually ignored by Orks, but the Grot noticed them.

The Grot immediately realized that the great consciousness that had just possessed him had transferred to Zak, and immediately prostrated and worshiped Zak, saying that Zak was his god.

Now, the same phenomenon had appeared in Beast.

However, Beast carried the high emotional intelligence gene fragment of the Grot, but not the low intelligence.

Therefore, Beast possessed both high emotional intelligence and high intelligence, definitely an outlier among Orks.

His current description made Li Nuo feel a sense of vigilance, fearing that he had created an uncontrollable monster.

"Stand up, I want to ask you something." Li Nuo lifted Beast from the ground. "When I possessed you, what did you feel?"

"I couldn't control my body, but it was very Waaaaagh, like I could command a whole bunch of Boyz." Beast wore a flattering smile, hugging Li Nuo's thigh tightly.

Li Nuo pried Beast's arms open, pulled the kid off his thigh, and placed him a meter away:

"I'll ask you again, can you tell if I'm in this body or not?"

"Yes, I can." Beast nodded repeatedly, "When you're not here, Space is just a moron. When you're here, Space is the coolest Boy!"

Li Nuo had asked the Steel Courage Tribe's Grot the same question when he possessed Weirdboy - Zak, and the answer he received was similar to Beast's.

It seemed that the Grot's gene fragment contained the genetic code to find him.

This wasn't good.

If the Grot could find him, Chaos Daemons probably could too.

After he went back, he would remove the Grot's gene fragment from the All-Rounder Boy's gene fragment, and try to avoid direct contact with the Grot in the future.

As for Beast… Li Nuo looked at the little guy who was looking at him with worship, and tentatively put aside the idea of removing the Grot's genes from him.

Having such a "human" Ork follower to help him with things was quite convenient, so he would let him maintain his current state for now.

"Continue planting mushrooms." Li Nuo pointed to the cultivation area in the corner, then raised his chin towards the crying Xiao Xi, and instructed Beast:

"Keep an eye on this woman, don't let her cause trouble. If I hadn't possessed you in time just now, your butt would have been beaten to a pulp by the 'shrimp.'"

"Yes, Boss! I guarantee that the same mistake will never be made a second time!" Beast raised his head and puffed out his chest, responding loudly.

He picked up the laser gun on the ground and slung it over his shoulder, watching Xiao Xi while walking backward towards the cultivation area.

Once he reached the cultivation area, he used his left eye to keep watch, while his right eye coordinated with his hands to plant mushrooms.

This multitasking skill also came from the Grot.

Li Nuo collected the firearms at the scene, not giving Xiao Xi a chance to hold a gun.

He ran all the way to the ground, hid in the shadows of the cave entrance, and looked up to observe the night sky.

The "male primitive" had revealed his identity as a Bone Drinker before he died.

He had gritted his teeth and said that he would come to find the Space Wolf Clan for trouble.

At this time, there were no ships or shuttles in the night sky, nor could the voices of the Eunuchs be heard in the nearby jungle.

This showed that the Eunuch Group's raiding fleet was not controlled by the Bone Drinkers.

Perhaps tomorrow, or perhaps in ten days, new ships would appear around the planet, and these new ships should be controlled by the Bone Drinkers.

Regardless of when the Bone Drinkers' ships arrived on this planet, Li Nuo wasn't prepared to change his plan.

He turned around and ran back to the treasury.

As soon as he entered the door, the figures of a dozen or so Grox and Gretchin entered his vision.

Looking at the cultivation area, twenty green mushrooms were growing vigorously, the height of the caps reaching almost a meter.

It was estimated that in another 10 minutes at most, there would be 20 Ork Boyz on the scene ready to immediately engage in battle.

Li Nuo took out different kinds of potions from the fungal warehouse and made Beast drink them all.

Beast didn't care what the potions were for, gulping them down, and then his body trembled violently, constantly gasping for air.

"Hold on, Boy. The potions you just drank were made with the smelliest and most awesome materials I could find. They will make you bigger, stronger, and more Waaagh…"

While Li Nuo was speaking, Beast's body grew wildly, from less than a meter tall to nearly two meters, his muscles knotted and bulging, as strong as an ox.

"Roar — — — —" Beast roared, the tusks in his mouth standing upright, his face changing from its original ugly cuteness to ferocity.

After a few seconds, the effect of the medicine ended.

Beast stopped roaring, touching himself all over from top to bottom, feeling only incredulity.

Looking down at Li Nuo, who only reached his chest, Beast knelt down with a thud, the expression on his face switching from ferocity back to ugly cuteness and worship, his eyes filled with reverence, like a tail-wagging green giant bear:

"Boss, you are my…"

"Stop." Li Nuo held up his hand and said solemnly:

"Don't say I'm a god, I don't like that title. We are new generation Orks with culture and quality, and we don't do the belief thing. I'm not doing 'Mork and Gork,' I'm just leading the Orks towards civilization and extreme materialism. Before we destroy all gods, we can tolerate the existence of gods, but only good gods can survive. Evil gods will be completely destroyed by us…"

The Orks' worship of him was inevitable, Li Nuo was well aware of this.

In order to prevent a new god from appearing in the Warp [beyond his control], he had to prevent all behavior related to worshiping him from now on.

Otherwise, the little brothers he had painstakingly cultivated might become the lackeys of the new god.

This was a long-standing problem that Li Nuo had carefully considered when creating the first generation Fungal Astartes.

After Li Nuo's barrage of words, the beast's gaze shifted from worship to clarity, filled with admiration for Li Nuo, with no trace of blind faith or superstition.

"Beast, remember, you follow me not because I am a god, but because I can lead you to slaughter the evil gods and punish those idiots who submit to them. Therefore, you can call me Boss or Pioneer, but never call me God."

"Yes, Pioneer! I will remember! All the lads of the Space Beast clan will regard you as the Pioneer."

"No, no, no, Beast, don't let them know I am the Pioneer. My existence cannot be exposed," Li Nuo quickly stopped him, lowering his voice, saying:

"I have many deadly enemies, and they don't want me to live. Don't leak my information. In the future, you should still call me Boss."

The beast realized his slip of the tongue, his face showing shame and self-blame, and he nodded vigorously:

"Yes! Boss, I understand."

"Very good." Li Nuo helped the beast up, raised his head, and instructed:

"Within five days, prepare a group of good lads for me. Five days later, we will shoot down the orbiting spaceship. When I'm not around, you are the Boss of the Space Beast clan, and this body is your sidekick. Remember to send lads to stand guard on the ground. If any primitives come, hand them over to Xiaoxi to arrange…"

Li Nuo explained the things for the next five days clearly, and the beast listened with great concentration.

After repeatedly confirming that the beast remembered the plan clearly, Li Nuo waved his hand, telling him to go to work, while he took out alchemical potions to strengthen his current body.

Waves of heat and cold alternated within his body, and his body rapidly expanded under the effect of the potion.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

In a short while, the body of the Orc Boy - Space became as strong as the beast.

When the potion's effect ended, Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to check everything over and confirm there were no mistakes before "logging off."

"Venerable One." Xiaoxi walked over carrying the body wrapped in cloth on her back, looking up at Li Nuo, who was more than half a head taller than her, her eyes filled with pleading:

"I want to go outside and find a place to bury my husband…"

Li Nuo thought for a moment, took the body from her back, and beckoned for Xiaoxi to follow:

"Let's go, I'll accompany you. I also have some things to ask you."

"Thank you, Venerable One." Xiaoxi was filled with sorrow, pleading, "I should do it myself, don't trouble you."

Li Nuo looked down at the female primitive beside him, "Tell me honestly, are you planning to commit suicide to follow him in death?"

Xiaoxi's body trembled, she lowered her head and didn't speak, silently following.

Without rebuttal, that meant she admitted it.

Li Nuo wasn't good at comforting people, preferring to use distraction to help others escape mental exhaustion.

He unslung a laser pistol from his waist and stuffed it into Xiaoxi's arms:

"Death is inevitable, either lighter than a bullet or heavier than a spaceship. Take this gun. In five days, our Space Beast clan will go to war with those bastards. You come with us to fight, don't let your death be worthless. Understand?"

Xiaoxi clenched the laser pistol tightly, her fingertips turning white, her body trembling slightly, her voice filled with sobs and determination:

"Yes, Venerable One."

"Very good." Li Nuo explained the use of the laser pistol several times, then changed the subject and asked:

"Why was your husband controlled by the Bone Drinker so quickly? Is there a problem with the parasitic spores in the treasure vault, or is there a problem with your husband?"

From being parasitized by the Bone Drinker to being completely controlled, it usually takes 24 hours. This stage is defined as the initial stage of infection.

At most, Xiaoxi's husband had only been parasitized for two hours.

Yet in those two hours, he completely became a puppet of the Bone Drinker, which was truly against common sense.

"Venerable One, when the Bone Drinkers enslaved our previous civilization, they modified the humans of that civilization, making them easier to be parasitized by the Bone Drinkers. My ancestors and our generation are also very easily parasitized by the Bone Drinkers."

Xiaoxi lacked knowledge of genetic modification, speaking ambiguously.

Li Nuo understood, all the primitives, including Xiaoxi, had some kind of genetic defect.

For these people, dying at the hands of the Orne was a kind of relief, otherwise, they would sooner or later become puppets of the Bone Drinkers.

Li Nuo asked:

"Is this one of the reasons you chose to end your life?"

"Yes, Venerable One."

"Have you seen the green-skinned creatures the beast spawned?" Li Nuo asked again.

"I have seen them. Venerable One's clan and power are strong and mysterious, an existence we cannot reach."

Li Nuo asked again:

"Compared to the Bone Drinkers, who is stronger, our clan or the Bone Drinkers?"

Xiaoxi pondered deeply, "I feel that Venerable One's power is stronger."

"Well, since you understand this, then show me your value. Within five days, help the beast count all the things in the treasure vault and settle any other primitives that may appear. Five days later, follow me into battle. If you survive, I will help you break free from the shackles of fate."

During his months as Deputy Governor, Li Nuo hadn't learned anything else, but his skill in drawing cakes had skyrocketed.

Regardless of the result in five days, he would draw the cake first.

But obviously, he underestimated the weight of this cake.

Xiaoxi's knees softened, she made to kneel down and kowtow, "Venerable One, you are simply…"

"Don't kneel, and don't say I am a god." Li Nuo pulled Xiaoxi up, pushing her forward, "I'll emphasize one last time, I am not a god. If you say the wrong thing again, I'll leave you outside. Also, don't call me Venerable One, call me Lord."

"Yes, Lord." Xiaoxi didn't dare to resist.

Li Nuo sighed inwardly, 'Damn, how many times have I said "I am not a god" today? I'm almost a mouthpiece for the weasel.'

Without a word, they reached the ground.

Li Nuo quickly dug a pit, helping Xiaoxi bury her husband.

Three Orc Boys and several Gretchin walked out of the cave with weapons, kneeling on one knee to salute Li Nuo.

They had received orders from the beast to patrol and guard the surface, and the etiquette of kneeling on one knee was also taught to them by the beast.

Well, that's fine, as long as they don't shout "You are my god."

Li Nuo waved his hand, telling the Orks and Gretchin to patrol, while he clicked on the system interface, ending the simulation.

Space's body trembled slightly, turning around and walking into the cave, ignoring Xiaoxi beside him.

He was executing the orders given by Li Nuo, seizing the time to develop the green-skinned army.

Space had used his body to learn the Bone Drinker language when Li Nuo did, so Space also knew this language.

According to Li Nuo's instructions, Space would only communicate with Xiaoxi when she needed translation.

At other times, Space was focused on expanding the green-skinned army and wouldn't communicate much with Xiaoxi.

Space's sudden silence didn't make Xiaoxi feel uncomfortable.

She found a place to sit down at the entrance of the cave, familiarizing herself with the use of the laser pistol while waiting for any arriving people.

She would follow the Lord's instructions, settling her fellow people, ensuring that they didn't create conflict with the Space Beast clan.

…

…

Eipimethius, Royal Court District, Residence.

Artificial sunlight streamed through the cracks in the curtains, casting golden pillars of light into the bedroom.

Li Nuo sat up in bed, completing his washing and eating at the fastest speed, finally entering the office one second before the working hours he had set for himself.

Slumping into his office chair, Li Nuo took a breather and immersed himself in work.

From 8 a.m. to evening, Li Nuo finally had time to rest.

"I have good news for you," Tide said happily at the dinner table:

"We have already received several formal letters of intent to purchase the starch formula. As long as the transaction contract is signed, they will immediately transfer the down payment to your account."

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth:

"I thought they would choose to wait and see for a while. I didn't expect someone to want to buy it on the first day the news was released."

The news of the sale of the starch formula was released by Shatana through the psychic communication network.

If the Warp was stable enough, it would take at most half a year for the news of Li Nuo selling the starch formula to spread throughout the Human Imperium.

Those who can receive the news now are basically the various forces within the Solar System.

"Who wants to buy the formula?" Li Nuo asked.

Tide put down her cutlery, wiped the corners of her mouth, and clicked on her data pad for Li Nuo to view:

"There are a total of four transaction targets, all Space Marine Chapters."

"All Space Marine Chapters?" Li Nuo was greatly surprised.

He had always thought that his first contact with the Tin Cans was likely because he was judged to be a heretic and needed to be purged.

He never imagined that a formula transaction would become the first bridge for him to communicate with the Space Marine Chapters.
