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

Chapter 16: Psychic Hallucinations
[Scientific name: Ghost Vein]

【Common name: Ghost mushroom】

【Analysis results:】

[The mushrooms you see are actually huge mutant fungi, which are named just because they look like mushrooms.]

[It is a fusion of a large amount of mutant fungi, artificially regenerated food residues and indescribable human essence. ]

[Its hallucinogenic effect comes from psychic energy. Yes, you read that right, this thing involves dangerous subspace. If you get close to it, touch it, or even just be illuminated by its light, you will experience hallucinations.]

[For those who lose consciousness in hallucinations, their souls will be devoured by the subspace, leaving only a soulless body. ]

Ghost mushrooms are actually related to the subspace!

The soul may be devoured by the warp!
Could it be that the Kram family knew nothing about the relationship between ghost mushrooms and the subspace?
Li Nuo's heart was pounding.

A faint whisper suddenly appeared in my ears, the volume approaching zero.

Li Nuo's body stiffened and he forced himself not to pay attention to the content of the whisper.

They stayed there for a while, the heartbeat slowed down but the murmur did not increase.

Li Nuo tried to take a few steps forward.

The volume of the whispers did not change.

It seems that it is just as the supervisor said. As long as you don't listen to the whispers and don't destroy the roots, the intensity of the hallucinations will be controlled at a mild level and will not cause people to lose their minds.

Li Nuo calmed himself down and looked intently at the ghost mushroom.

There are so many bubble boxes in the field of vision that it is dizzying.

[Carbardin fungus, which can cause diarrhea after contact. ]

[Toxic spore fungus, inhaling the spores can cause severe asthma. ]

[Toxic mold slime, pH value is 3, highly acidic, will damage armor. ]

His eyes moved downward to the roots of the ghost mushroom sticking out of the ground.

The bubble box that appears this time is different.

[Ghost Fungus, this is an ancient fungus that has been passed down from the Dark Age of Technology. It has a strange psychic effect and will emit a strong hallucinogenic light when it is damaged. This fungus is the core of the Ghost Mushroom, and all the strangeness of the Ghost Mushroom comes from it. ]

It turns out that ghost fungi are ancient fungi, no wonder they are so unique.

Should ancient fungi also be stored in fungal warehouses?
Li Nuo suppressed the urge to put it away and focused on observing the ghost fungus.

In his field of vision, the system used translucent white lines to outline the outline of the ghost fungus.

Its appearance is similar to that of a tree root, no wonder it is called the root system by the supervisor.

Li Nuo suddenly realized that he had a huge advantage in digging roots.

Others need to constantly refer to the perspective image provided by the scanner to determine the angle of the drill bit and the depth of the drilling.

If you are not careful, the drill will pierce the roots and cause a strong hallucinogenic light.

But I am different.

The system outlines the root system.

You only need to operate the drill bit like carving to dig out the roots roughly, and then use a small hammer and brush to clean off the soil.

The difference in difficulty can be described as a world of difference.

With the increased tolerance rate, Li Nuo felt a lot more relaxed.

By the way, what is the goal of today’s training?

It seems that the supervisor didn’t say.

In that case, I should be able to complete the task by digging out the entire root system.

Li Nuo nodded secretly and took the scanner with his right robotic arm.

Analysis: The temporary strengthening effect of the fungus has not disappeared.

This is easy to handle.

The drill on the left robotic arm is responsible for breaking the rocks in the soil, the right robotic arm is responsible for helping him hold the scanner, and his hands are used to move the soil.

The four hands have clear division of labor, so nothing should go wrong.

...

On the other side, inside the monitoring room.

There are dozens of surveillance screens in front of Robnos, each corresponding to an apprentice who is digging roots.

In the upper right corner of the screen is a dynamic image monitoring the apprentice's heartbeat.

A person who is about to fall into hallucination will have a significantly faster heartbeat and a faster breathing.

Therefore, the curve on the monitoring image is stable, which means that the apprentices are not in danger of life. Their monitoring screen will automatically move to the corner.

The screens with dramatically undulating curves will come right in front of Robnos and receive his special attention.

"Bekemson, don't be nervous. The goal of today's training is not to dig out the entire root system. You only need to dig out one tenth of the root system to complete the task."

The man on the screen replied:

"Yes, Director, I'm fine. I just find the whispering in my ears annoying."

Robnos looked at another screen:
"Did you hear what I just said? Moramos, your training task is the same. You can complete today's training task by digging out one tenth of the roots."

"Okay, boss. My feet are weak and I feel like I'm walking on cotton. I may need to take a break before I can work."

"It's up to you. Control your time."

Robnos glanced around and confirmed that the heart rate and breathing rate data on the other screens were within a controllable range, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Squeak——" the airlock door behind him opened.

A woman with long flaxen hair walked into the monitoring room.

Robnos looked back and pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down. How are things going over there?"

The long-haired woman in a white coat smoothed her clothes behind her legs and sat down:
"I just finished teaching the apprentices in the experimental department. It went well and no one asked to leave. How about you?"

"It's not so smooth here. As soon as I mentioned that the employees of the collection department need to enter the bottom nest, half of them chose to leave."

The woman was slightly startled and surprised:

"Half of the people chose to quit? This is a bit beyond my expectation. It seems that the identity and work of the middle nest are less attractive to the lower nest people than we thought."

Robnos looked normal:

"Yes, Lord Fuges is still too merciful. If he required every person in the lower nest to work for fifteen hours to get food and water like other hive worlds, many more people would choose to stay in the gathering department."

The woman nodded and was about to say something when a shrill alarm sounded.

"Beep----"

A surveillance screen moved in front of the two of them, with red light flashing at the edge of the screen, indicating an emergency.

In the surveillance footage, the drill equipped on the apprentice's right shoulder armor accidentally broke the roots of the mushroom, and a strong hallucinogenic light flashed several times.

The apprentice's eyes were dazed and dull in the strong light.

The tractor started and the rope dragged the apprentice away from the mushroom.

Suddenly, the drill bit stabbed towards the apprentice's hook.

After a scratchy sound of metal friction, the chain hooked on the belt broke.

The apprentice walked towards the mushroom step by step, pretending to embrace a lover.

Rob North's response was quick.

As soon as he discovered the abnormality, he pressed the button on the table.

Thick white fog descended from the sky, quickly surrounding the ghost mushroom, and the surveillance screen was covered in white.

After a while, the white mist disappeared.

A thick layer of white gel appeared on the surface of the ghost mushroom, like a shell made of ice and snow, and the blue-purple light became dim.

The apprentice fell to the ground, his eyes empty and lifeless, like a soulless shell.

Robnos turned on the communicator:
"Borg, the apprentice in the A-9 cave is eliminated. Go get him out and transport him to the recycling department."

"As ordered."

The woman was moved, "It's great that these Xiachao people have persisted until now."

"Yeah, that's right." Robnos crossed his arms and rubbed his brows:
"If the ghost mushrooms hadn't caused the servitors to go out of control, I wouldn't have bothered to ask a group of Downhives to do this job."

Robnos slapped his forehead and remembered something.

He pressed the communication button and said:
"Li Nuo, I forgot to tell you that if we dig out one tenth of the roots, we can complete today's training."

"Got it, Supervisor." Li Nuo responded in the communication channel.

The woman looked at the screen where Li Nuo was, with a complicated look in her eyes:
"Robnos, why don't you hand Li Nuo over to me now. He had great talent in languages and mathematics, and it's a pity that he died like this."

Robnos took out his pipe and filled it with tobacco:
"I know you are short of manpower, and so am I. Li Nuo's excellence is obvious to all, and his compatibility with bionic machines is better than most of my apprentices. So, let's wait until the training phase of the collection department is over. If he fails to become a regular employee, I will send him to you."

"Ok."
