I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 110 Two words, conquer the governor
"Li Nuo, where are you now?" Delton activated the communication channel and called the other party directly by Li Nuo's real name.

"I'm on the lift to Shangshang Nest. What's up, sir?"

In the communication screen, Li Nuo was calm and composed, and the background was the wall of the lift moving downwards.

"Chekhov is dead," said Delton.

"Ah? Who is Chekhov?"

"That's the person who assassinated you before."

"Assassinate me? No, I didn't meet any assassin." Li Nuo's expression was calm but confused.

Delton stroked his forehead:
"Don't pretend. I noticed the footage of you being hit by a subsonic bolter through the surveillance system in the lower nest. Later, because the surveillance camera was destroyed, I couldn't see clearly how Chekav died. Now that I think about it, it must have been related to you. Your psychic power level has increased a lot, and you can actually dodge the attack of the subsonic bolter."

Li Nuo smiled and said nothing, not intending to continue Delton's words.

He would never tell the other party that dodging subsonic bolts requires madness potions, not psychic powers.

The speed of sound is approximately 340 meters per second, and the speed of a subsonic projectile is slower than the speed of sound.

At the beginning, the distance between himself and Chekhov was about one thousand meters, and the subsonic bullet took a full three seconds to reach him.

In these 3 seconds, not to mention someone like me who has been greatly strengthened, even an ordinary person can dodge it.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the existence of subsonic bombs can be detected.

This requires drinking large amounts of Keen Eyes and Predatory Instincts potions.

The Sharp Eyes Potion greatly improves visual ability, helping the naked eye to accurately lock onto tiny targets flying at high speeds.

The predatory instinct potion enhances the ability to perceive danger, making one alert within 0.1 seconds of the enemy's attack.

The combination of these two potions is extremely effective and invincible, except perhaps when faced with subspace tactics.

The most important thing is that the alchemical potion made by the mad doctor's witchcraft can be given to others to drink.

Didn’t Li Nuo hope that the wife he married in the Warhammer world would be at least of Mephisto’s level?
Now, he has a second option, which is to use a large amount of crazy medicine to strengthen a powerful but fragile girl like a vase into a female Space Marine.

In the future, if you obtain stronger, more powerful, and more Waaaaagh mad doctor witchcraft formulas or mechanical witchcraft blueprints, you can also use them to strengthen yourself and your wife.

In this way, the problem of the other half being a weakling is solved.

"Don't leave after you get out of the elevator. Wait at the checkpoint and I'll come find you." Delton tapped a few times on the Thinker's keyboard, left a sentence to end the call, and hurried out.

Previously, Li Nuo asked Delton to help contact the forging world Demos and promised to pay him.

He was just about to meet with the other party to discuss the matter, so after arriving at the checkpoint of Shangchao, he sat down on a nearby garden bench and waited quietly.

About ten minutes later, three black trucks drove out from the lift and headed straight for Li Nuo.

Li Nuo was shocked, thinking that he had killed the assassin and that the governor was furious, and that the governor wanted someone to teach him a lesson.

He was about to get up and run away when he saw Delton sticking his head out of the first transport vehicle, calling out and waving:
"Li Nuo! Get in the car!"

Li Nuo slowed down his pace and looked at Delton in confusion. Why did the other party keep calling his real name? It would be bad if the people in the car heard it.

Besides, the face he was using now was his real face, without any disguise.

The transport vehicle stopped in front of Li Nuo. Delton pushed open the door, stretched out his right arm, and pulled Li Nuo into the back seat of the cab with a force that Li Nuo could hardly resist.

The three transport vehicles accelerated, heading directly for the highest building in the first district - the Royal Court District.

The place was built on a hill covered with jungle. The outer shell of the building complex was silver-white and the style was similar to that of a medieval castle. The scenery was magnificent.

The artificial light source of the first area of Shangchao is located directly above the highest point of the Royal Court. It is an artificial sun with a diameter of more than 100 meters, bound by a constant magnetic field and force field.

During the day, the light from the artificial sun is evenly distributed throughout the entire first area through complex optical pipes.

At night, the artificial sun will be covered by a mask, projecting cool artificial moonlight instead.

When war comes and a large number of enemy troops appear inside and outside the hive, the light of the artificial sun will be converted into high-energy beams through super-large focusers, continuously emitting lasers, which is equivalent to continuous firing of ship-borne light spears.

Whoever controls such an important strategic facility can control the entire hive, just like the gods who hold the power of the sun in ancient mythology.

Now, the artificial sun hanging high in the sky was rapidly enlarging in Li Nuo's eyes, which made him realize that something was about to happen.

"Does the Governor know the contents of the contract between Demos and I?"

"That's right. At the same time when you were confronting Chekav, an official letter from Demos was delivered to Lord Vorges through the Astropath, which included the contract you reached with Demos..."

When Delton was talking to Li Nuo, he did not avoid the driver and co-pilot sitting in the front seats. The two were Li Nuo's old acquaintances - Wick and Mona.

Ever since Li Nuo got into the car, they looked at Li Nuo in the back seat through the rearview mirror with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

It felt as absurd as if the student who used to sit at the back row of the classroom with me suddenly became the recipient of a full scholarship.

Wick tried hard to hold back the questions in his mind, and his expression looked as troubled as if he had been constipated for ten days or half a month.

The sentence he wants to say most now is:
Oh my god, if I had known that I could just do a little experiment when I had nothing to do and marry the governor's daughter, why would I bother with those girls in the nest? Isn't this just a waste of time?

Wick was able to connect Li Nuo and Kang Wen together because Mona exclaimed unprecedentedly when she saw Li Nuo sitting on the bench.

She recognized him at a glance as the rookie agent who had practiced with her in the training room. When he first came to the base, he used the same facial expression as now.

It was hard to imagine that a new agent who was covered in blood after being wounded by his psychic powers and broadsword in the training room would suddenly become his top boss.

The contrast was so great that not only Wick couldn't stand it, but even Mona, who was always calm and had little emotional fluctuations, found it a bit difficult to bear.

"We're escorting you to the Royal Court now." Delton took out his data tablet, looked at it, and sent the route map to Wick, asking him to follow it. He then turned his head and said to Li Nuo:
"The Governor is creating a suitable noble identity for you. Your family has a long history, is mysterious and low-key, and only fell into the lower nest because of the decline of the family. The most important thing is that you are the only member of the family at present, both the first heir and the head of the family. The Governor needs you to provide a family surname."

"Family surname...any name will do?" Li Nuo asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, you decide on your family name. You have to think about it before making a decision, after all, this surname will be given the title of Governor in the future."

"Let me think...how about Roryman?"

"Rodriman? Well, it seems okay." Delton was suddenly stunned. "Is this a new word composed of Robert Guilliman? Of course it is okay, but you'd better not let the people of Ultramar know."

"Ha, just kidding. Let's call our family name Wilsey. It's easy to understand and remember."

In both Low Gothic and High Gothic, Welsh means "rich, abundant, prosperous".

In a sense, the mysterious Hive family that rose to power with the help of residue-to-starch technology does fit the word "Wilsi".

Delton nodded in agreement and sent the "Wilsey" to the Governor.

This name is definitely more reliable than the name of the original suture.

The convoy drove into the royal court area. The carvings on the flying buttresses shone brightly under the artificial sunlight, and a magnificent mansion appeared before their eyes.

The spire is soaring, piercing the sky, and the colored glass shines with brilliant light like gems.

On the tall oak door, the gilded copper ring was knocked by the guard at the door, and the double door opened with a low roar.

Lord Vorges and his beloved daughter dressed up in their best clothes and walked out of the door to greet the distinguished guests.

Fu Gaisi changed his usual loose home office suit into a dark blue velvet dress with exquisite silver rust on the collar and cuffs, and many medals on his chest that Li Nuo couldn't name.

Beside him, Tido revealed her true face to Li Nuo for the first time.

Her long light golden hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and features were picturesque, her gaze was bright and her eyes were clear with curiosity and agility.

Her figure is impeccable, she is tall where she should be tall, slender where she should be slender, and plump where she should be plump. Her every move exudes elegance and nobility.

Female junior, holding a gold brick.

Tido is exactly three years older than Li Nuo's current body.

She was wearing a black dress with gold trim, which contrasted beautifully with her light golden hair.

Li Nuo looked down at his clothes, still wearing the white researcher's robe.

"Is it too late for me to change my clothes now?"

"No, you don't need to change. With the new technology and new potions you have mastered, you can enter the Governor's mansion even in slippers."

Delton made a rare joke and was the first to push the door and get out of the car.

Wick and Mona looked back at Li Nuo, wanting to say something but not daring to. They could only pick up their weapons, put down their helmets and masks and leave the cab.

Li Nuo was surrounded by a group of armed Governor's agents and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

As a researcher who likes to do microbial experiments, the scene before him made him so stressed that he almost broke the soles of his shoes.

Socializing with people is not Li Nuo's strong point, and now he has to face so many people.

When Fu Ge Si and Tiduo came over, Li Nuo always felt that he should say something, so he blurted out: "Dad, Tiduo, good afternoon."

For a moment, the scene was completely silent, and one could hear a pin drop, with only the rumbling of the transport vehicle's engine.

The ceremonial smile on Fugais's face froze.

Tido raised her hand to cover her mouth, her lips parted in surprise, her eyes flickering slightly.

After two seconds, Fu Gaisi laughed heartily and relievedly.

As an old man who had a daughter late in life, only he knew how heavy the weight of the name Li Nuo was. He had always dreamed of having a son, and now his dream was about to come true.

Fu Gaisi threw aside all the words he had prepared, took Li Nuo's hand affectionately, and led him and his daughter into the mansion.

The Governor's agents outside the room looked at each other.

Wick muttered quietly, "That Kang Wen kid is really amazing. He actually said those two words without changing his expression. I can't do that anyway."

Mona nudged Wick with her elbow and glared at him, "Watch your words when you speak."

"Oh oh oh, that's right. Things are different now. Oh, why is he going to marry the governor's daughter? I feel like I'm dreaming." Wick touched his head and sighed.

dream?

Yeah, dream on.

Who doesn't feel this way?

A Governor's agent rises to the top in one step and is expected to become the future Governor.

Such a magical plot might only appear in the most imaginative popular books and magazines in the Nest City.

...

...

“Crack, crack…”

The fireplace in the corner burned quietly, emitting the aroma of fruit wood and a warm current.

Osgus was lying on the sofa in the study, holding a data tablet, watching the hive news boredly.

Ever since his conspiracy with the cold trader was exposed, he had been put in solitary confinement by his father and had been unable to go out for half a year.

House arrest for half a year may seem like a punishment, but it is actually a form of protection.

During this six months, he cannot go out, and his communications with the outside world will be monitored by the family. He cannot contact people outside of this hive.

If his father found out that his son was still in contact with the cold traders, Osgus would definitely be severely punished, or even killed for the sake of justice.

Osgers had no doubt about that.

At the same time, he is actively exploring new ways to purchase nutrients to ensure that the family that supports him can benefit from growing ghost mushrooms.

The more the major families earn, the louder the voices supporting them will be in the aristocratic council.

When I am fully confident, I will ask my father to formally propose marriage.

I believe that by then, my reputation among the nobles and my contribution to the ghost mushroom industry alone will be enough to convince the governor.

"Drip drip."

Communications access.

The voice of Khakas, the son of the chief merchant of the Coin Guild, rang out:

"Osgus, I just came out of my father's study. I have good news for you. The Governor has allowed us to import corpse starch from Necromunda. The Governor has only one requirement, which is that this corpse starch must be produced in Necromunda."

Osgus's eyes lit up and he sat up. "Is the news true?"

"It's true, man, we're going to make a fortune this time!" Hakas laughed in the communication channel:
"Thank goodness you were quick-witted and contacted Necromunda in time. Otherwise, our large-scale cultivation of ghost mushrooms would have been delayed."

Osgus stood up excitedly, rubbing his hands and pacing around the room, exuding an aura of excitement.

As Khakass said, it was Osgus who proposed the idea of importing corpse starch from Necromunda.

The young descendants of wealthy aristocrats who formed a small group with him were immediately moved by this proposal and tried hard to persuade their elders to accept it.

Now, the Governor nodded.

The importation of corpse starch from Necromunda became a done deal.

The biggest obstacle to the rapid development of the ghost mushroom industry has been removed.

Next, as long as the cargo ship from Necromunda delivers the corpse starch, the major families will be able to cultivate ghost mushrooms crazily.

Osgus was so overjoyed that he could hardly suppress his inner excitement, so he simply poured himself a glass of wine and celebrated alone.

He raised his glass high in thanksgiving for his psychic powers.

The importation of corpse starch from Necromunda was the inspiration and response he received after praying to the psychic power.

Facts have once again proved that as long as there are no accidents, one's spiritual power is absolutely reliable, absolutely trustworthy, and can definitely guide oneself to success.

"Tsk tsk, what makes you so happy?" By the window, the curtains were blown by the evening breeze, and a slender figure stood out under the artificial moonlight.

Osgus was in the right mood. He did not show any disgust towards the uninvited guest. Instead, he smiled and said:

"The Governor has approved our proposal to import corpse starch from Necromunda. The plan will be officially implemented after being reviewed by the Council of Nobles. Would you like a drink?"

Osgus poured a second glass of wine and handed it to Ruth by the window. His eyes swept over the curves of her body, and a burning feeling welled up in his eyes.

Among the many descendants of hive nobles, Ruth is the type who appears to be passionate and carefree, but is actually very conservative.

She likes to wear tight clothes that show off her figure, but rarely responds positively to the noble young masters who cater to her.

Today, she wore a tight-fitting outfit with dark purple and pink as the main colors. The dark purple fabric highlighted her curves, while the pink lines clearly outlined her contours, which made people feel inexplicably excited.

Osgus's gaze became increasingly fiery.

He guessed that Ruth would not reject him, as she had expressed her feelings towards him a long time ago...

"I'm sorry, Osgus, I know detention can get lonely, but not today."

Ruth took the wine glass and placed it on the windowsill, crossed her arms, and raised the corners of her mouth in a playful arc:

"I have important news for you."

Osgus drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, suppressing the evil fire in his heart:

"Tell me, what's the news? Has your father arranged a marriage for you?"

"No, it's not me who's being arranged to marry, it's Tido."

"What? What are you talking about?" Osgus's expression froze, and he was unable to react for a moment. He subconsciously wanted to grab Ruth's arm to question her.

Ruth nimbly dodged the other person's wrist and flashed to the other side of the window:
"You don't know yet, Osgus? This morning, the Forge World of Deimos sent a sage to visit our hive. Ostensibly for a personal matter, in reality, this Mechanicus sage came to investigate a new technology for converting promethium refining residue into starch. Ultimately, the sage recognized the technology's efficiency, environmental friendliness, and safety. It will be included in the Sacred Database of Mars, becoming a sacred invention that cannot be copied or questioned."

"Promethium...refining...residue...converted into starch..." Osgus covered his forehead, feeling dizzy.

He understood what this technology represented and that it would bring about a huge industrial change.

The direction of the entire empire may be changed as a result.

"What does this have to do with Tido's engagement?" Osgus leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and tried to endure the dizziness in his mind.

"Of course it's related. Tido's dating partner is the person who invented the new technology. Their marriage was just decided tonight. When Tido's fiancé comes of age, the marriage will be officially held."

"Who is that person?! Tell me, who is that person!" Osgus roared, his facial features distorted:

"I almost succeeded! Just a little bit! But he took away my future! I'm going to kill him!!"

"Go find out for yourself. You deserve what you have now. I felt the same pain when I confessed my feelings to you many years ago but was rejected. Hehehe. I am very happy to see you like this. Goodbye."

Ruth sat on the window frame, flipped her body backwards, and disappeared into the moonlight outside the windowsill.

Osgus knelt down in front of the windowsill, frantically activating his psychic energy, asking over and over again who Tido's fiancé was and how he could take back everything that belonged to him.

Gradually, the light inside and outside the house became dim.

Accompanied by the faint light of blue and purple, obscure whispers were heard in the house.
