I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

Spending 1 point of Simulation Points allows you to save the possession opportunity of Mad Doctor Sack.

Possessing Mad Doctor again only requires consuming 1 unit of Strange Spores.

The newly appeared reward option perfectly suits Li Nuo's intention.

He was just considering how to settle Sack.

This is a Mad Doctor character who can learn witchcraft and must be cultivated in the long term. He must be possessed from time to time and must not be allowed to die easily.

Now that the problem of settling Sack has been solved, Li Nuo felt relieved and silently said in his heart, "Save character."

[You have consumed 1 point of Simulation Points to establish a simulation character file for Mad Doctor - Sack.]

[This character will be automatically saved when you end the simulation.]

[If the character dies, the character file will become invalid, and the Simulation Points will not be refunded.]

[Do you want to end this simulation now?]

No, not ending it for now. I still have to investigate the Orks.

Also, I am very curious whether there will be other fungi besides Ork spores where the Orks live.

Li Nuo closed the system interface while thinking.

Iron was extremely satisfied with his steel left brain shell and immediately arranged for Zarg to take two strong Orks to help the Mad Doctor move his luggage.

Li Nuo boarded the four-wheeled transport vehicle of the Steel Nugget Clan.

This is a high-horsepower convertible with an external engine and thick exhaust pipes, painted red, powerful and cool, and as fast as lightning when driving.

After a while, everything belonging to Mad Doctor Sack was moved to the territory of the Steel Nugget Clan.

This also includes that shack.

This moving efficiency is simply terrifying.

In order to reward Li Nuo, Iron separately allocated a piece of land for him to use, and all the items of the former Mad Doctor were also handed over to him to control.

When things were almost arranged, Iron picked up Zarg like picking up a chick and put him in front of Li Nuo:

"Zarg, listen to me carefully. From today onwards, you are the Mad Doctor's personal bodyguard. You do whatever he tells you to do. If he loses a single hair, I will spank your butt!"

"Boss, he doesn't have any hair to begin with," Zarg whispered.

"What did you say? I can't hear you."

Iron glared, scaring Zarg to shrink his neck.

"I said! Boss, don't worry! With me here, Sack can even sleep with his butt exposed! I guarantee no one can sneak attack him! ... Uh, except for Mao Ge!"

Zarg's loud shout made Iron feel satisfied.

Iron showed a bright smile to Li Nuo, grinning and said:

"You just order him around, don't be polite to me, just tell him if you need anything."

"Okay, Boss." Li Nuo watched the iron tower-like Ork chieftain leave. The other party's soles were bigger than his own face, and they were wrapped in thick iron sheets, making a clanging sound when walking.

Li Nuo snapped his fingers at Zarg and led his Squig, which was as fat as a pig, towards the open space:

"Zarg, help me build a low shed around this piece of land. I want to plant something in it."

"Okay, I can get it done right away." Zarg picked up a few steel pipes from the roadside, carried them on his shoulders, and forcefully inserted them into the ground as load-bearing pillars for the low shed.

A dozen minutes later, a low shed with walls, a roof, a front door, and windows was built.

Apart from looking a little old, Li Nuo couldn't find any other faults.

"Zarg, go help me collect some fungi. Bring a little of everything you can see."

Zarg scratched his head, "I don't understand. What is fungi?"

Li Nuo rummaged in his trouser pocket and took out two things.

One was a milk mushroom, and the other was dehydrated dry yeast.

"Simply put, mushrooms are fungi, which is easy to understand. The powder in my right hand may also be fungi. In short, if you see mushrooms and powder, grab a handful and bring them back to me, and you can't go wrong."

"Okay, I think I understand." Zarg shook his head as if he understood, muttering words like "mushroom" and "powder" and quickly walked away.

Li Nuo walked into the low shed, squatted down, and grabbed a handful of soil.

Feeling the greasy touch of the soil, Li Nuo nodded with a smile.

It would be a pity not to plant something in such a piece of fertile land.

With a thought, a large bunch of Ghost Mushroom mycelium appeared in his hand.

The growth and reproduction of this psychic fungus depend on warp energy.

The system's simulation space cannot temporarily provide warp energy, so the cultivation of Ghost Mushrooms needs to be carried out outside.

Li Nuo has always wanted to find a safe and secret place to plant Ghost Mushrooms, and the land in front of him is perfect.

Planting Ghost Mushrooms here will definitely not be discovered by the hive dwellers of Epimethius, which will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.

Li Nuo tied the Squig to the door to guard it and personally picked up a hoe to loosen the soil.

During the process of loosening the soil, he caught a glimpse of the only 7 Strange Spores left in the fungus warehouse and couldn't help but worry secretly.

After he has planted the Ghost Mushroom mycelium, he has to quickly cultivate Strange Spores.

At this moment, Li Nuo subconsciously entered a state of contemplation.

System text emerged along with his contemplation.

[Searching the Mad Doctor's genetic knowledge base for methods of cultivating Strange Spores.]

Li Nuo was stunned.

How many treasures are there in the Mad Doctor's genetic knowledge base? How can there even be methods for cultivating Strange Spores?

With a turn of his mind, the search results came out.

[Search completed.]

[Search results: 1 item.]

[Details as follows:]

[Name: Strange Spore Alchemy.]

[Learning cost: 1 skill point.]

[Description:]

[Take 1 Ork reproductive spore and soak it in a potion containing warp components. After the warp components of the potion are almost completely degraded by the spore, you will obtain 1 Strange Spore. This process requires the consumption of universal psychic materials.]

[The ratio of potion to reproductive spores will be presented after learning this witchcraft.]

Reproductive spores specifically refer to Ork spores that have not yet taken root.

There are hundreds of reproductive spores in the fungus warehouse, which Li Nuo collected before.

As for the liquid containing warp components.

Li Nuo first thought of Ghost Potion, and secondly, the warp potion that appeared in Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader.

The effects of the two are somewhat similar.

Ghost Potion can help people awaken psychic powers, which is a permanent enhancement.

The warp potion in Rogue Trader does not grant psychic powers, but temporarily strengthens the drinker.

In addition to these two liquids containing warp components, Li Nuo also thought of the special potions used by some apothecaries in the future Chaos Warbands.

These special potions should also contain warp components, and their main purpose is to quickly strengthen recruits.

As it stands, Ghost Potion is the easiest to obtain and the most stable.

Then how many Ghost Potions can cultivate 1 Strange Spore?

Li Nuo exchanged 1 skill point for 10 Simulation Points and learned Strange Spore Alchemy.

The alchemy recipe was successfully unlocked and presented on the system interface.

Li Nuo calculated a bit based on the parameter table given in the recipe and came to a conclusion that made his teeth ache.

10 standard bottles of Ghost Potion can refine 1 Strange Spore, which translates into a cost of 5,000 Throne Gelt.

It turns out that he spent 30,000 Throne Gelt in two simulations, ah ah ah ~

Li Nuo covered his face and sighed softly, as if he saw the scene of himself being unable to make ends meet due to the Waaagh! simulation.

No, the cost of Ghost Potion must be brought down.

Thinking of this, his movements of turning over the soil became even more nimble.

Before long, the soil loosening work was completed.

When he started planting Ghost Mushroom mycelium, Li Nuo instinctively thought about details such as light, air humidity, and nutrient solution.

This kind of thinking carried out under the drive of instinct is undoubtedly also a kind of contemplation.

As long as it is contemplation, it will definitely trigger a series of reactions.

Sure enough, the system text began to refresh again.

[Searching for methods related to planting Ghost Mushrooms.]

[Search completed.]

[Search results: 2 items.]

[Details as follows:]

[Search result 1: Sacrifice Cultivation Method.]

[Learning cost: 1 skill point.]

[Description:]

[Use the blood and flesh of people who died tragically in pain to cultivate Ghost Mushrooms. The more painful and tragic the death, the better the cultivation effect of the blood and flesh, and the faster the growth rate of the Ghost Mushrooms.]

[The disadvantage is that the potions made from Ghost Mushrooms are more likely to have negative effects.]

[Search result 2: Squig Cultivation Method.]

[Learning cost: 10 skill points.]

[Description:]

[Slaughter fat, plump meat Squigs and use their fat, meat chunks, blood, and Ork-specific herbs and fungi to perform alchemy, and you can obtain alchemical fertilizer for cultivating Ghost Mushrooms.]

[Ghost Mushrooms cultivated using this method grow more slowly, but potions made from them generally do not have negative effects.]

Li Nuo stood in place with his hands propped on the hoe, carefully reading the descriptive text of the two cultivation methods.

The so-called Sacrifice Cultivation Method is exactly the method used by the heretics of the Mihar Church.

Li Nuo remembered very clearly that when he was cleaning up the heretics in the underhive, he saw many indescribable bloody scenes, all of which were related to the cultivation of Ghost Mushrooms.

As a transmigrator with a normal mind, it is impossible for Li Nuo to use humans to cultivate Ghost Mushrooms.

His previous idea was to use Ork corpses.

Aren't there so many Ork corpses on the derelict ship battlefield that can be used?

But since the system recommends using Squigs, then use Squigs, just don't use humans.

A small number of Squigs of the past, the Gugg, possess special effects, and a very few Squigs of the past can be trained into war mounts.

Lee Know wouldn't have the slightest psychological burden using Squigs to nourish the Ghost Mushrooms.

He poked the interface with his mind, learning the second search result.

【Learning successful.】

【The details of the Squig cultivation method for Ghost Mushrooms are as follows:】

【…】

The knowledge stored in the Mad Doctor's gene knowledge base stirred in his mind.

The newest and most up-to-date novels are first published on 69shu8!

After digesting this knowledge, Lee Know's gaze changed slightly when he looked at the pet at the door.

The number of meat Squigs required to cultivate Ghost Mushrooms is quite alarming.

Lee Know made a rough estimate:

Consuming 400 mature meat Squigs to make alchemical fertilizer can ultimately yield approximately 80 kilograms of Ghost Mushrooms.

One mature meat Squig can feed ten Ork Boyz for a day.

Four hundred Squigs is enough food for 4,000 Ork Boyz for a day.

The demand for meat Squigs by Ghost Mushrooms is undeniably high.

Blindly demanding meat Squigs from the Steel Penny Clan is not a wise move.

Even if he is currently the Mad Doctor.

Once this batch of Ghost Mushrooms is harvested, he must come up with results beneficial to the clan to persuade Elon to continue supporting his alchemical work.

In this way, his work of using clan resources to produce magical spores long-term can continue stably.

Lee Know's mind raced, his eyes flickering constantly, pondering how to ask Elon for 400 meat Squigs.

Or, should he first try using his little pet to make alchemical fertilizer?

The Squig seemed to sense its master's crooked thoughts, let out a strange cry, and charged towards the door, only to be yanked back to its original spot by the noose around its neck, lying sprawled on the ground.

Looking at the little guy's adorable appearance, Lee Know grinned:

"Don't worry, stupid dog, I won't use you as fertilizer."

Stupid Dog is the name of this Squig.

As a meat Squig, it should have been slaughtered by a Grotnik and served on the Orks' table.

When the Mad Doctor Sack had his leg cut off by the enemy, it was Stupid Dog who carried Sack away from the danger.

Therefore, Stupid Dog has lived to this day, becoming the Mad Doctor's pet.

Although Lee Know is not Sack himself, he doesn't plan to do anything ungrateful, so let Stupid Dog continue to be a pet.

Sensing that its master's crooked thoughts had disappeared, Stupid Dog resumed its carefree appearance, simply lying on the ground with its belly up, basking in the sun and sleeping.

The environment of the Ork planet is a bit harsh, but the star is still normal, the color Lee Know recognizes, and the sunlight feels incredibly comfortable on the body.

Footsteps approached from afar.

Zalg stopped at the door, holding a large pile of things.

"Mad Doctor, I've brought you something that might be fungus."

Lee Know put down the hoe in his hand and stared at the things in Zalg's arms, casting Identification on them one by one.

Zalg has some talent in collecting.

He brought back five kinds of fungi, two kinds of herbs, and three kinds of medicinal stones.

Among them, three kinds of things happened to be needed for the alchemical art of cultivation.

Lee Know picked out the black mushroom, the sea urchin-like medicinal stone, and the purple herb that resembled a mushroom, and instructed:

"Find more of these three things for me."

"Okay."

Zalg left again.

The same fungal ability may appear on different fungi.

For example, the Milk Mushroom's fungal ability - Hunger Relief.

It appeared on a dark red fungus that looked like a Boletus.

Among the five kinds of local fungi present, there was only one fungal ability that Lee Know had never seen before.

【Name: Corpse-Eating Fungus】

【Analysis result:】

【A characteristic fungus growing in the Ork world, similar to Mucor. It can decompose corpses, as well as the debris in corpses, such as implants, feces, and undigested food. The decomposition product is liquefied ammonium nitrogen fertilizer.】

【Because of the existence of this fungus, the soil in the Ork world is particularly fertile.】

【Fungal ability:】

【Corpse Transformation, converting the corpses of flesh and blood creations, the corpses' implants, prosthetics, the corpses' feces, and other things, all into liquefied ammonium nitrogen fertilizer.】

【Has been domesticated. Unlock requirement: 1 skill point.】

A must-have fungal ability for home travel, there's no reason not to unlock it.

Lee Know converted 10 points of points into 1 skill point, casually put Corpse Transformation into his pocket, and also stored the Corpse-Eating Fungus in the fungus warehouse.

Clicking on the system interface, he activated the automatic simulation function.

Lee Know handed over the work of cultivating Corpse-Eating Fungus to the system.

In just three minutes, the system found a cultivation plan, and the raw materials required were just the soil of the Ork world.

Lee Know directly cultivated several hundred kilograms of it with the soil from the fields for future use.

While waiting for Zalg to return, Lee Know found Elon and proposed requisitioning 400 meat Squigs.

As he expected, Elon showed a hint of hesitation.

Meat Squigs are important strategic resources, and so is the Mad Doctor.

So who is more important?

Of course, it's the Mad Doctor.

So, after thinking for less than ten seconds, Elon readily had the livestock Grotniks move the Squigs to the Mad Doctor's place.

Lee Know patted his chest and promised that the final experimental results would definitely not disappoint the other party.

An hour later, the Squigs were slaughtered, and the alchemical materials were all collected back by Zalg.

Lee Know used the previous Mad Doctor's alchemical equipment for crazy alchemy.

Sack's universal psionic material was exhausted, and the inventory dropped to only 1 portion left.

At the cost of this, Lee Know obtained 10 days' worth of alchemical fertilizer.

He mixed the alchemical fertilizer with water, made it into liquid fertilizer, evenly sprayed it on the soil, and loosened the soil back and forth to ensure even moisture.

The analysis of the fungus showed that the Ghost Mushrooms could grow fruiting bodies in about 50 Terra hours.

After the fruiting bodies grow, another 50 Terra hours later, the Ghost Mushrooms can be partially harvested.

In these 100 Terra hours, alchemical fertilizer must be replenished regularly and quantitatively.

The environmental factors such as light and air humidity don't matter, just do whatever you want.

Lee Know couldn't possibly stay in the simulation for 100 Terra hours, Leia was still waiting outside.

He had Zalg call a few clean-handed Grotniks and taught them the essentials of fertilization.

Grotniks are born to do odd jobs, with extremely strong learning and hands-on abilities.

With Zalg watching beside them, the Grotniks' efficiency would definitely not be low, and the Ghost Mushrooms' hyphae would not be damaged.

After confirming that everything was foolproof, Lee Know clicked on the system interface and chose to end the simulation.

【Simulated character Sack has been saved.】

【He will act autonomously according to your wishes after you end the simulation, until you possess him again.】

【This simulation is over.】

【Remaining simulation points: 907 points.】

The light and shadow flickered a few times, the vision changed rapidly, and Lee Know's consciousness returned to the secret room of the water purification plant.

Opening his eyes, he immediately sat up to check the timer directly opposite him.

The digital time composed of pixel points showed that it had been exactly three hours since he started the simulation.

This was about the same as Lee Know's own estimated simulation time, indicating that the time flow inside and outside the simulation was basically the same.

Looking at the psionic monitor next to the timer, the reading on the pixelated dot matrix graph was always zero, and the surveying paper drawn according to the reading was also a long horizontal line.

Good, there was no psionic reaction during the simulation, which reassured Lee Know a lot, at least proving that the Waaagh simulation was not realized through the warp.

Lee Know also successively checked the readings of the sonic, infrared, radiation, and other monitors, confirming that there were no abnormalities.

The monitoring data of heart rate and breathing frequency showed that his previous physical signs were exactly the same as the sleeping state, and "simulation" could be equated with "sleeping."

Now that he mentioned it, Lee Know felt that he was indeed more energetic than before.

Even though he had just experienced several consecutive days of high-intensity combat, he didn't feel as tired as he did when he came back in the afternoon.

"I get it, the Waaagh simulation will put me into a deep sleep state, quickly restoring energy and physical strength. If that's the case, what will happen if someone wakes me up while I'm simulating?"

Lee Know pondered to himself, deciding to find a chance to try it out later.

Standing up and opening the door, Leia was sitting on a chair next to the door, playing with the data slate listlessly, looking like she was about to fall asleep.

"You're out? How's the experiment going?" Leia asked, stretching lazily.

Lee Know glanced at the time on the data slate, it was already late at night:

"The experiment is going well. Go to sleep, I'll leave now. When you have time, help me clean up the things in the room, that pile of scrap metal is useless."

"Okay, then I'll go to sleep first, and clean up when I wake up tomorrow."

Leia yawned and walked into her own room.

Lee Know took out the data slate to check if any messages had been sent during this time.

A short message from the manager of the White Fruit Manor came into view:

"Boss, please give me a call when it's convenient, I've encountered some things here."

Lee Know thought for a moment, then quickly went out and headed for the Upper Hive.
