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

Chapter 126 Li Nuo's head is paid for by the young masters
"Godwin, how are things going there? What did our deputy governor tell you?"

In Osgus's reception room, a young man dressed as a water merchant was communicating with Godwin.

This man's name is Farmar Water. He is the second in line to the Water family, the eldest son and only descendant of the head of the family.

Farmer's outfit was extremely luxurious, with a dark blue velvet trench coat with a large lapel, and necklaces, shoulder straps, and saddle bags woven from diamonds, gems, crystals, and gold. He exuded a strong smell of money from head to toe, and he made no effort to hide his extremely wealthy family background.

As the only eldest son of the head of the family, Farmar Water would never allow anyone to challenge his succession order.

Godwin is the most typical example.

It was Farmer who had ordered the attack on the Godwins.

In the eyes of the eldest son of the Water family, if Godwin had not been on good terms with the so-called deputy governor, he and his daughter would not be alive today, and would not be qualified to communicate with him directly.

In the communication screen projected by the holographic device, Godwin and Elena were sitting in the transport vehicle, just driving out of the royal court area.

"Master Farmar, the Deputy Governor has promised to continue purchasing water and water purification equipment from the Water family. But the prerequisite is that we maintain the selling price of water at the current level."

Farmar crossed his legs, lit a cigarette for himself, squinted his eyes and exhaled white smoke and asked:

"Apart from this promise, is there anything else?"

"Not yet. The Deputy Governor hopes to discuss other cooperation projects after reaching a contract to purchase water bodies and water purification equipment."

"Okay, I got it. Send me the recording of your meeting." Farmar snapped his fingers and the call ended.

The holographic device receives the recording file and plays it automatically.

The holographic screen projected by the device disappeared, and several figures sitting around the device emerged.

Their identities are:

The owner of this reception room is Osgus Garmin Vogues;

Spike Levi, the second son of the Levi family, a Hive medical giant;
Ruth Bruton, the eldest daughter of the Bruton family, the leader of the Hive Rejuvenation field;
The most prominent merchant family in the Hive City, the controller of the Coin Guild, and the youngest heir of the Binis family, Hakas Binis;

Weisberg Wanser, the eldest son of the Wanser family, the arms dealers of the Hive City.

Including Farmar Water, there were six people in the reception room.

Farmar and others are Osgers' strongest supporters.

Their fathers work for the current governor, and they themselves support the person most likely to become the next governor.

This is the nobles' consistent style of doing things, and it can be considered a tradition since the establishment of the hive city.

Now, this tradition is being challenged.

An unknown hidden family, the only child in the family, a minor who was obsessed with scientific research and took the lead with his own research results, suddenly became the deputy governor and stepped on Osgus's head.

Such a bizarre scene appeared so abruptly that Osgus and his five friends were caught off guard.

They could only continue to advance their own plans on the "Ghost Potion" while trying their best to curb the Deputy Governor's momentum.

As the leader of the group, Osgus had to be wary of the Deputy Governor trying to disintegrate his group behind the scenes.

For example, through secret talks with Godwin and his daughter, the deputy governor secretly promised the Water family generous gifts and offered lucrative conditions.

Osgus had no doubt that the Water family might leave his camp because of the deputy governor's bad promise.

So, there was a scene where Farmar Water communicated with Godwin on the spot and played the recording under the gaze of everyone.

Soon, the recording of the meeting between the Deputy Governor and Godwin finished playing, and the reception room fell silent.

Hakas, the son of a wealthy merchant, lazily lay on the soft sofa, playing with the data tablet out of boredom.

Ruth lifted one leg and slowly swayed on her high heels, using her toes wrapped in light pink stockings.

The other four people each lit a cigarette, puffed smoke in the room, and thought about the contents of the recording.

After a long while, Osgus exhaled a foul breath and said in a deep voice:
"Fama, I advise you not to take Li Nuo's promise too seriously. He is willing to continue to purchase your family's water and water purification equipment purely to stabilize you."

Farmar put his cigarette butt into the ashtray, shrugged, and leaned back on the sofa:
"Our deputy governor has remained silent about the suspension of the construction of the stormwater pipeline and the water treatment plant, which means that he has made up his mind to use the water he purifies. Once the stormwater pipeline and the water treatment plant are built, he will kick our Water family out. I know this very well, and you don't need to remind me."

Farmar opened his arms, resting them on the upper back of the sofa, looking at Khakas who was concentrating on playing games.
"Hey, little brat from the Binis family, tell me, where is the killer hired by Osgers?"

Khakass was having so much fun that he turned a deaf ear to Farmar's call.

Ruth kicked Hakas' calf with her raised foot, and Hakas came to his senses.

"What? What's wrong? What can I do for you?"

Farmar showed impatience and repeated his words:
"I'm asking you a question, Hakas. Where is the assassin hired by Osgus?"

Hakas opened the communication record on the data board and said as he flipped through it:

"The Cold Trade Group said that the Imperial Arbitral Fleet left earlier today. We need to send the money to the transit station. As soon as they receive the money, the Mudmen will set off."

Farmar asked:

"Clay man? What is this thing? Can it kill the deputy governor?"

"I don't know about that. It was Osgus's psychic power that told him to hire the clay man as a killer."

Hakas looked at Osgus.

Osgers nodded:
"Yes. Psychic told me that the clay man has the ability to freely transform into various objects. He is proficient in stealth and infiltration and has never failed in the assassination business. I have prepared 400,000 throne coins to hire a clay man to kill our deputy governor. You don't have to pay for this money. I will pay it alone."

Farmar clicked his tongue, shook his head, and raised a sarcastic smile:
"Four hundred thousand throne coins? One killer? Too little. I'll pay two million and ask the Cold Trade Group to send five more clay figures."

The generosity of the eldest son of the Water family stunned everyone present.

Two million throne coins were more than enough to buy a transport ship without any armed forces, and it was brand new.

Farmar actually used the money to hire a killer, which is so outrageous.

Osgers thought about it and suddenly realized:

"Do you want the water purification technology in Li Nuo's hands, Farmar? Sure, no problem. After Li Nuo dies, I promise to find a way to send his water purification technology to you."

Farmar snapped his fingers:

"Very good, it's easy to talk to you, I really think so. Then it's settled. I'll pay two million, you pay four hundred thousand, we'll hire five assassins and try to make sure Li Nuo is killed without a burial place."

"Heh, since both of you are so generous, it would be a bit unreasonable for me not to participate." Spike Levi, who had not spoken for a long time, stood up and poured himself a glass of red wine:
"I'll offer 800,000 throne coins to hire two assassins. My condition is that after the job is done, you let me take a look at the information on the starch preparation technology invented by Li Nuo. I know that this technology has been included in the holy database of the Mechanicus, and cracking it will only bring trouble to myself. So, I just want to find inspiration from it and use it in the pharmaceutical field. Do you have any objections?"

Farmar shrugged. "Whatever, as long as you don't interfere with the Water Guild's work."

The others shook their heads.

Spike sat down with his glass in hand. "It's settled then. I'll offer 800,000. Anyone else want to follow?"

Ruth raised her right hand and said with a smile:
"I'll also offer 800,000, with the same conditions as Spike."

"Very good." Osgus gestured to Hakas.

Hakas scratched his head. "How about I offer 1.2 million? I don't have any conditions. As long as everyone is happy, that's fine."

"Haha, yes, I'm glad I'm happy. The Deputy Governor's death is the best news." Osgus tidied his clothes, closed his open windbreaker, crossed one leg and said:

"I'll raise my commission to two million, on par with Farmar. What do you think, Weisberg?"

Weisberg Wanser, the eldest son of the Wanser family, is bloodthirsty and notorious.

He is always the most high-profile at every party and likes to show off his muscles and physique.

But today, he was unusually silent. "Everyone, I have to tell you some good news first." Weisberg crossed his fingers on his legs, his face a little gloomy, and sighed softly:

"Recently, there have been some personnel changes within the Planetary Defense Force. The company commander and regimental commander, who were previously friendly with our Wanser family, retired from the Planetary Defense Force for various reasons. They were replaced by a group of Terrans, said to be the elite of the Zhongsi Academy. Since the new commander took office, the rebels have suffered heavy losses."

This news made the atmosphere at the scene freeze. Everyone frowned, even the usually nonchalant Khakass was no exception.

Osgus crossed his arms and asked:

"You mean to say that the Planetary Defense Forces and the Rebels are getting out of our control?"

"Yes, that's what I meant."

"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?!" Osgus asked angrily.

Weisberg spread his hands:

"I'm sorry, I saw you guys were discussing so enthusiastically before, I didn't have the heart to interrupt you. But don't worry, our family has already made a decision..."

Weisberg paused and raised four fingers of his left hand:
"We, the Wanser family, can allow the Planetary Defense Force and the rebels to break away from our control, but the object of the Planetary Defense Force's loyalty and protection must be our own people, that is, Osgus. So, 4.8 million throne coins. Our Wanser family will pay 4.8 million and hire 12 assassins to try to kill the deputy governor."

"hiss------"

There was a sound of people sucking in their breath in the room.

Two seconds later, Osgus clapped his hands, and the anger on his face disappeared, replaced by admiration and affirmation:

"Okay, okay, okay. I admire the decisiveness and generosity of the Wangser family."

Osgus stood up, took the bottle and glass, poured a glass for everyone, and said excitedly:

"The Wangser family will contribute 4.8 million throne coins, Farmar and I will contribute 2 million throne coins each, Hakas will contribute 1.2 million, Spike and Ruth will contribute 800,000 each, a total of 11.8 million throne coins. We will hire 29 clay killers and we will definitely crush Li Nuo to pieces."

Everyone held up their wine glasses, formed a circle, and drank from each other.

Khakas suddenly joked:

"What if this doesn't kill Li Nuo?"

Osgus was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"Hahaha————If this still doesn't kill Li Nuo, I'm willing to serve Li Nuo like my father served Lord Fuges!"

Farmar also laughed:

"Ha, I agree with what Osgus said. Someone who can't be killed by twenty-nine killers is indeed worthy of our pursuit. When the time comes, I will have no problem giving the water and water purification equipment to Li Nuo on behalf of the Water family."

Several others agreed with what Osgers and Farmar said.

With a total expenditure of more than 10 million throne coins, not to mention the deputy governor, even Lord Fugas would have to die.

The promise made by Osgers and Farmar is both a joke and a real idea.

A deputy governor who survived being hunted by twenty-nine assassins is indeed worthy of following and loyalty.

But they seem to have forgotten one crucial thing because of their overly high emotions and over-expanded desires:

If the deputy governor had not died, it would not be up to them to decide whether this group of people could serve him.

The secret conversation between the six people ended with them drinking fine wine together.

More than 10 million Throne Coins will be paid in three installments, with 4 million to be paid first, and then another 4 million to be paid once the killer is in place. After the assassination is carried out, the remaining balance will be paid regardless of whether it is successful or not.

Khakass got in touch with the people of the Cold Trade Group and the two sides reached a verbal contract.

An armed cargo ship loaded with four million physical Throne Coins will depart tomorrow to deliver the first commission to the transit space station.

If everything goes well, the assassination can be carried out on the evening of the New Year's Day.

People are not worried that the Leng Trade Group will take the money and not do anything.

We have cooperated with each other for a long time and have established a deep-rooted relationship.

What's more, after Osgus became the governor, it would only bring benefits and no harm to the Cold Trade Group.

Before the meeting ended, Weisberg Wanser raised a concern of his family:

"Everyone, have you ever thought about this? After the death of the deputy governor, Lord Vorges might lose his mind and use the artificial sun to launch a spear of light to kill Osgus, who directly benefited from the death of the deputy governor. The possibility of this happening is extremely low, but it is undeniable that it is indeed possible."

Before Osgers could put forward his own opinion, Ruth teased:
"Do you think the Governor can decide to use the artificial sun to launch the light spear alone? The control of the artificial sun is in the hands of the Mechanical Monastery in the Hive City. To launch the light spear, the monastery's hive city manager needs to agree."

Osgers also laughed:
"Ruth is absolutely right. Besides, I won't face the Light Spear alone. There are so many innocent people around me, and there might even be members of other branches of the Vorges family. How irrational do you think the Governor must be to force the monastery to use the Light Spear to take the lives of innocent people and members of the Vorges family?"

Weisberg was speechless after being refuted, and could only raise his glass to toast:
"Well, I thought too much. Even if that old fellow Vorges had ten times the courage, he would not dare to take away the right to emit light from the hive administrator. Cheers, everyone, I'll drink one more glass for my extra words just now."

"cheers!"

"For our common future!"

The glasses clink.

This was followed by the sound of someone gulping down a glass of wine.

After the meeting, the six people left one after another, feeling very proud.

Khakas returned to his residence and entered the bedroom.

Here, he saw Ruth who had arrived earlier.

The two embraced each other under the artificial moonlight. Ruth used the pink ends of her hair to touch Hakas' cheek and whispered:
"It's not enough, Khakass, I feel it's not enough. We need to add a few more people to the assassination list and use their money to do our work."

Hakas and Ruth smiled at each other:
"Yes, baby, you reminded me. I foresee a possibility, more chaos will bring more loot. I will make some changes to Osgus's assassination plan. It is cunning and ingenious. Only by constantly changing it can I draw more wisdom from my psychic power."

Ruth looked at Hakas with a seductive look and threw him down:
"Let me feel your warmth and passion, dear. Your psychic power is making you stronger and stronger in every aspect. I can feel it deeply."

...

...

Li Nuo had no idea that his bounty was as high as more than 10 million Throne Coins.

At this time, he was working late into the night in his private laboratory to make fungusstat.

The frame of the ticking box is complete and can be installed into the orc brain at any time.

Just plug in the power and the ticking box will start running.

Noisy boxes, bang-bang things, snapping legs, clanking arms, and a miniature plasma reactor removed from the hunting lord's equipment were all displayed on the shelves along the wall.

Junstat's bang-bang tools are specially made weapons, all made according to the size of Junstat's hands.

The materials they use are mainly subspace energy single crystals, and a small part are metal objects that cannot be replaced by single crystals.

In order to further enhance the mobility of Junstat, Li Nuo specially logged into Gu Jia's "account" and thought of more than a dozen different mechanical witchcrafts.

He used his newly learned mechanical wizardry to create different styles of mecha endoskeleton, servo motors, hydraulic transmission devices, electronic muscle bundles, optical imaging components, automatic sensors, breathing grilles, temperature control components, static magnetic boots and other components.

After many installations, tests and disassemblies, the first generation of the Germsstatt with excellent performance took shape at midnight that day.

After being equipped with all modules except the flight backpack and nutritional supplement components, the total mass of the first-generation Germstatt reached 550 kg.

Li Nuo is painting the first generation of Junstat.

At the same time, he was also thinking about the official name of Fungusstat and how to create his own original Fungus warrior.
