I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer
#72 - Water Problems (35k)
“Welcome back, sir.”
Upper Hive, First District, at home.
Li Nuo took off his coat at the door and handed it to Brandy, loosened his collar and cuffs, and walked towards the washroom.
Brandy followed behind with the coat in her arms, softly reminding him:
“Sir, the 'do not disturb' mode is still activated on both of your data pads.”
“Oh, right, I almost forgot.” Li Nuo turned back to Brandy with a smile, took out the data pads and started operating them, casually asking:
“Did anyone look for me today?”
“Yes. Miss Leia provided you with the latest intelligence from the ruins and made a request. A communication account with the nickname 'Tarenso' sent you a voice message.”
“Okay, I see it.” Li Nuo swiped his finger across the data pad twice, playing Leia's communication recording.
Hearing that Leia wanted to seek his protection, Li Nuo's brow furrowed slightly.
It wasn't that he felt disgusted by it, but simply felt it was troublesome.
Leia was a connection he had painstakingly built, spending a lot of time and energy, and if he could protect it, it would be better to do so.
But how to help a mutant avoid being affected by the cleansing operation?
This question made Li Nuo feel a little troubled.
He couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, so he sent a message to Leia's communication code, promising to help, but that it would take some time.
Find an opportunity to collect Leia's mutation samples, and use various methods to test them, to see what exactly caused the mutation.
If it could be solved through surgery, that would be even better.
Switching to the second communication record.
Tarenso invited Li Nuo to a yacht dinner tomorrow evening, located in Bomin Bay in the First District.
The yacht will depart that evening and return to port before midnight.
The dinner guests are mostly Upper Hive celebrities and noble descendants, a good opportunity to expand his network and let Li Nuo see more of the world.
Li Nuo estimated his itinerary for tomorrow and accepted Tarenso's invitation, promising to be there on time.
After dealing with personal communications, Li Nuo entered the laboratory, took out the stone picked up from the manor, and extracted the fungus on it for analysis and simulation.
Microorganisms are very fragile.
But they are also easily changed because of their fragility.
The characteristics of the Silent Sister will affect the surroundings, which is equivalent to projecting a kind of radiation or energy field around.
As long as the environmental parameters are changed, it is possible to trigger fungal changes.
For example, mutating the fungus to have a characteristic that can resist the Silent Sister.
After Li Nuo tested the fungus on the stone, he laughed mockingly at himself.
Mutate my ass, stop dreaming.
There was no special fungus on the stone that had been stepped on by the Silent Sister.
Was he overthinking it, or should he just wash up and go to bed?
…
…
Nothing happened overnight, and the next morning.
Li Nuo and Pamir Whitefruit, the manager of Whitefruit Manor, met in front of the Oshigana Bank in the Second District.
They met the financial director responsible for handling the manor's debts and equity transactions—a highly mechanized special servitor, officially called a financial actuary.
This kind of servitor has absolutely nothing to do with the word "good-looking."
Its main body is a brain placed in a transparent cylinder, with a light blue liquid flowing inside the cylinder.
Various components and mechanical prosthetic limbs are connected to the brain through complex pipelines, and a group of servo skulls are hovering and buzzing around.
Nerve cables extended from the actuary's spine to the amplifier on the table, and a dry electronic synthesized sound came from the speaker, guiding Li Nuo and the other to complete the transaction and debt settlement step by step.
After signing, signing, and signing for up to three hours, Li Nuo finally gained 71% of the shares of Whitefruit Manor.
After finishing this matter, Li Nuo and Pamir signed a series of agreements related to manor management, equity protection, dividend distribution, performance appraisal, etc.
Yes, performance appraisal.
Li Nuo introduced the KPI assessment system that even ghosts and gods would worry about to the Warhammer world.
It's time to give the Upper Hive people some intensity.
The dividends of each financial month are not so easy to get ~
At noon, the two enjoyed lunch together and discussed the affairs of the manor.
Many details can be handled by Pamir, and Li Nuo's focus is only on one thing.
That is, what is the lowest possible cost of planting White Spine Tobacco.
“Boss, the main cost of planting White Spine Tobacco is the cost of purchasing irrigation water.” Pamir took out the data pad, clicked on the past financial statements, and enlarged the image of the cost item.
He already knew that Li Nuo was both the negotiating representative of the Umbrella Corporation and the sole controller of the group, so he simply called Li Nuo boss.
“Look here. The irrigation water used for watering needs to be purchased from the Water Guild. Since the establishment of the manor, the cost of water has accounted for more than 70% of the total cost. If we want to reduce the price of White Spine Tobacco, we must find a cheaper channel to buy water.”
A cheaper channel to buy water?
Li Nuo narrowed his eyes, thinking of his mushroom farm system.
Moving the water from the system will only consume the raw materials of the cultivating water ball fungus.
Its cost can be said to be frighteningly low.
If the water in the system is used to irrigate White Spine Tobacco on a large scale…
Um.
This matter needs to be considered carefully.
It is difficult to avoid the sight of the Water Guild with such a large amount of water.
He must first think of a way to "launder" the water from the system.
Li Nuo had a general idea in his mind.
He took a napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth and said:
“The White Spine Tobacco we produce will be sold to the Lower Hive, so the quality control can be relaxed a bit. Assuming the ex-factory price of White Spine Tobacco silk is fifty ration cards per box, how many Lower Hive private workshops can you find to buy our tobacco silk?”
A box of standard-sized tobacco silk can be packaged into ten White Spine cigarettes, with an average selling price of five ration cards per cigarette.
Pamir quickly calculated it in his mind and came to the conclusion that Li Nuo expected:
“If we sell it at a price of fifty ration cards per box of tobacco silk, almost all Lower Hive workshops will buy from us.”
Pamir spread his hands:
“But this is impossible to achieve. The cost of water determines that the ex-factory price of White Spine Tobacco silk will not be lower than one hundred ration cards per box, that is, ten ration cards per cigarette.”
The problem returned to the channel for buying water.
Li Nuo tapped the table lightly with his fingertips in contemplation, silently listing the "laundering" of the system's water as the highest priority:
“I will be responsible for developing a new channel for buying water. As soon as there is a result, I will notify you, and then you will modify the waterway as soon as possible to irrigate White Spine Tobacco with cheap water.”
“Okay, boss.”
The two chatted about other matters and left separately.
Li Nuo returned home to change his clothes, used fake skin to change his appearance to the one he had when performing tasks in the Lower Hive, and then went out again under Brandy's slightly restrained gaze.
“Don't be nervous, Brandy. Due to the nature of my work, I need to switch to different faces to meet different people.”
“Yes, Master. I have listed this as a top secret matter and added it to the whitelist of logic detection. I will not be overly surprised by this in the future. I wish you a pleasant journey.”
Lino set off in a public transport vehicle and soon arrived at Bomin Bay.
The latest novels are first released on 69shu!
The so-called bay is actually a super-sized artificial lake.
It is both a well-known scenic spot in the First District and the largest reservoir in the First District.
The Water Guild is responsible for operating and managing Bomin Bay, and this cruise banquet is also hosted by the Water Guild.
Sometimes, things are just so coincidental.
Many water merchants from the Water Guild will be present at the banquet.
They will promote their own water supply services and equipment, attract customers, and suppress their competitors.
Lino can take this opportunity to find a way to "launder" the system with water.
"Corwin, we're here!"
Tarenzo's voice came from the deck of the cruise ship.
Lino looked in the direction of the sound and saw Tarenzo, Wick, and a young man with a silver metal chin.
The young man leaned against the railing, facing away from the sea, with a cigarette in his mouth, wearing bat-shaped sunglasses, and metal rings in his ears and nostrils.
He maintained a lazy posture, turned his face to the side, raised his glasses, glanced down at Lino, and then scoffed dismissively, seemingly very disdainful of Lino.
This left Lino somewhat puzzled.
He didn't seem to know this metal punk-style man who looked like a playboy, did he?
"Corwin, come, let me introduce you," Tarenzo approached Lino and extended his right hand to the young man leaning against the railing with a smile:
"This is Master Kelly from the Kram family. We rely on his status to be allowed to board this cruise ship and attend tonight's banquet."
Kelly?
The Kram family?
Oh, I understand. Isn't this the person who was in charge of managing the production department at the Kram Cigar Factory?
It is said that this person is the youngest son of the Kram family head, very favored in the family, and often opposes Isabel.
The reason is nothing more than that Kelly likes the cigar factory and wants to snatch it from Isabel's hands.
This mischievous nature gave Isabel a headache, but she was helpless.
All those around Kelly who were inferior to him in status were also often subjected to his contempt.
"Listen, Corwin," Kelly put his hands in his pockets, blew bubbles with his chewing gum, and came in front of Lino, lowering his voice:
"I asked Tarenzo to call you over to attend the banquet, not because I really wanted to invite you. I just wanted to tell you, don't think that just because you have a special status, you can have any improper thoughts about my sister Isabel. I installed a bug in her car. I know everything you talked about."
Is this Kelly a sister-con?
He actually dared to put a bug in Isabel's car?
That's too daring, isn't it?
Doesn't that mean he knows that I am the "Lino" who exposed Robnos?
Lino understood Kelly's threatening meaning in an instant.
Is this the method of the Upper Nest nobles? Cruel, deadly, and despicable, but undeniably effective, instantly grasping the opponent's lifeline.
Sure enough, the peace and tranquility of the Upper Nest is only an appearance, and the treachery behind it is more dangerous than the Lower Nest.
Seeing Lino remain silent, Kelly assumed that the other party was frightened and scoffed again dismissively.
He blew a bubble with his chewing gum and bumped Tarenzo's chest with his shoulder:
"Let's go, let's have fun, let Corwin cool off here, we won't take him."
After speaking, Kelly walked straight to the noisy banquet hall, leaving Tarenzo and Wick staring blankly.
Wick asked in a deep voice:
"Corwin, did you offend Kelly?"
Tarenzo said anxiously:
"Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have let you act alone. Now look what's happened. Once a crack appears, it's hard to repair. What did you and Isabel talk about in the car?"
"We just briefly talked about some topics related to yeast, don't be nervous," Lino reassured.
Kelly's voice floated over:
"Come on, Tarenzo, if you don't come, I'll play by myself. And Wick, didn't you want me to introduce you to a noble girl to marry? I happen to know some."
Lino pointed his chin at Kelly's back:
"Go ahead, Tarenzo, Wick, I wouldn't dare delay your important life events. I'll just wander around the ship by myself."
"No, if you cause trouble again…" Wick hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but Lino interrupted him.
"It's okay, I won't make the same mistake, trust me," Lino patted the two on the arms:
"Hurry up and catch up with Kelly, lest you also offend this young master of the Kram family."
"Okay, then we're leaving."
"Be careful yourself, don't talk if you don't have to, listen to other people's discussions, you can't go wrong."
Wick and Tarenzo gave a few instructions, turned and ran away, catching up with Kelly, and the three of them entered the banquet hall together.
Lino took out his data pad and sent the content of his conversation with Kelly to Isabel.
After a while, Isabel's reply came:
"Thank you for the information. I will handle it!"
The final exclamation point expressed the author's shock and indignation.
Lino chuckled and put away the data pad.
A conversation came from the side.
"Hello, I am Elena, a junior water merchant from the Water Guild. Would you like to learn about water body replacement services when you have time?"
PS: The financial actuary mecha is written by the author imitating the judicial actuary that appeared in Kaul's official novel.
PPS: There will be an extra update next Tuesday!
