Chapter 14 Blue-Purple Light
After a while, everyone changed their clothes.

The supervisor gave the first order over the loudspeaker.

"Those who hear your name, enter the transport bay I opened. Mazakx, enter."

A door appeared in the wall of the dressing room.

The door is connected to a metal transport cabin, which has a narrow space and can accommodate up to two people.

A young man named Mazaks stepped in, the hatch closed, and the transport cabin left under the traction of the track.

Another transport cabin stopped at the door and opened its door to everyone.

"McDonson, come in."

The apprentices were picked up by transport capsules one after another, with each capsule carrying only one person.

Soon Li Nuo was the only one left in the locker room.

"Li Nuo, you are the only apprentice who has not yet reached adulthood. Your physique is not as good as others, but the difficulty of training will not be reduced. As compensation, I will personally guide you to complete the first training. Others can only listen to my recording. Come in."

"Okay, Director."

Li Nuo followed instructions and entered the transport cabin.

The cabin began to glide at an accelerated speed.

From a physical sense, this is moving diagonally downward.

After a while, the transport cabin stopped and a gloomy cave appeared in front of Li Nuo.

Under the light of the transport cabin, the air in the cave was turbid, dust was slowly floating, and the smell of decay and dampness was overwhelming.

Far away from the transport cabin, there was a darkness that was so thick that it could not be dispelled, like the huge mouth of a ferocious beast.

"What is this place?"

Li Nuo stood there in a daze, feeling extremely surprised.

Didn’t we agree to conduct training?

How did you pull yourself down to the ground?

"This is a training place that simulates the bottom nest environment. Do you see the breathing masks and gas cylinders on the wall? Put on the mask, carry the gas cylinder, and move quickly."

Li Nuo did as he was told.

Respirators are full-face masks that cover the entire face.

It has two filter slots, each of which is connected to the gas cylinder, one for air outlet and the other for air intake.

The gas cylinder is about the same thickness as a normal human male's thigh and is quite heavy. It is equipped with a purification device and a battery that can purify the exhaust gas in the cylinder in real time.

A voice came from my ear:

"You are now equipped with a Creep Walker Breathing Suit. If it is not damaged, it can continue to work for hundreds of hours."

Li Nuo looked in the direction of the sound and found a small speaker on his collar.

"After making sure you can breathe smoothly, keep going. The mask's goggles are integrated with a lightweight night vision module."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Nuo's vision changed. The originally pitch-black tunnel suddenly became bright.

Li Nuo walked forward bravely.

The atmosphere around was extremely creepy.

With every breath, a wheezing sound could be heard from the mask, making the already dead silent cave even more depressing.

"Your heart rate is very high, reaching 120 beats per minute. Calm down, kid. This is just a teaching session. As long as you follow my orders carefully, you will not be in danger."

Li Nuo took a deep breath and suppressed his madly beating heart:

"So, there is actually danger here? If I don't complete the order, danger will appear, right?"

"Hehe, you can think of it that way. See the shoulder armor in front? Put it on." A pair of shoulder armor with a sci-fi atmosphere was hung on the wall not far away.

There is a mechanical arm on each side of the shoulder armor.

The left robotic arm is connected to a drill, and the right robotic arm is connected to a robotic claw with three fingers.

"This is the Creep Walker Engineering Shoulder Armor. The left arm is equipped with an impact-type ceramic steel drill that can help you break through rocks. The mechanical claw on the right arm is as flexible as your right hand, provided you are familiar with its existence."

Li Nuo put on the shoulder armor, shook his body, and felt a heaviness on his shoulders:

"Excuse me, how do I control this pair of robotic arms?"

"Go forward and you will see a helmet. It is a multifunctional helmet for the Creep Walker, which integrates a sound array system and a brain wave controller. The brain wave controller can help you control the robotic arm with your mind."

Li Nuo found the helmet and put it on his head.

The semi-enclosed helmet covers the ears. After a crackling sound of electricity, the sound array system starts up and voice communication switches to the inside of the helmet.

At the same time, Li Nuo felt that he had two more hands, which were the two mechanical arms on his shoulders.

He tried to control the movement of the robotic arm with his mind and was surprised to find that the whole process was smooth and silky, as if he was born with these two arms.

"Your brainwave modulation process is perfect, which means that you are highly compatible with bionic machinery and have the potential to become a mechanical priest."

I become a Mechanic Priest?
Don't.

I'm still a virgin, I've never even held a girl's hand...

Li Nuo complained inwardly.

"Don't stop, keep going."

"receive."

Li Nuo used his mind to fold the two robotic arms to prevent the drill and mechanical claws from scratching the wall.

After walking a short distance, a strange light appeared at the corner ahead.

The light is bluish-purple, and its intensity fluctuates. The color changes with the intensity of the light, switching back and forth between blue and purple, which looks quite strange.

“Sizzle, sizzle—”

A faint sound of electric current was jumping in the headset, and the communication signal was disturbed, but the communication was not disconnected.

"It is normal for signal interference to occur where the blue-purple light appears." The supervisor briefly explained, then laughed complacently:
“Haha, not long ago, I invented several new formulas, so I was invited by the Kram family to serve them.

"The tobacco and medicine made from the new formula have unparalleled analgesic and refreshing effects, enough to crush similar products in the human empire, and the market prospects are extremely broad. Lord Fuges immediately ordered the Kram family to trial the product on a large scale.

"The key ingredient for these formulas is a strange and rare wild fungus. Your job is to collect this fungus in the bottom nest."

Fungus?

Li Nuo's eyes flickered slightly, his heart beat faster, and he felt more expectant.

The supervisor suddenly said:
"Don't let your guard down just because the target is a fungus. This fungus will affect the surrounding space and cause hallucinations in those who approach it."

"Hallucination? What kind of hallucination?" Li Nuo stopped and was very alert. "I saw a blue-purple light. Is this an illusion?"

"No, it's not. The main manifestation of hallucination is hearing layers of whispers and feeling that your body is light and floating, as if flying in the air. Due to the special nature of your work, the probability of you having hallucinations is almost 100%. Next, I will teach you how to work with mild hallucinations."

The supervisor emphasized:

"First, don't listen to the whispers in your hallucinations. The more curious you are about the whispers, the easier it is to get caught up in them. If you pay too much attention to the whispers, you will eventually become nutrients for the fungus, being absorbed, sipped, and devoured by it, and you will die without any consciousness."

The content of the voice message sounded a bit scary, but Li Nuo felt excited.

If he had not loved and been obsessed with fungi, he would not have chosen applied mycology as his scientific research field.

"What is this fungus called?"
