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

Chapter 20 Boarding the pirate ship
"Crack, snap, snap."

Robnos clapped his hands vigorously, smiling:
"Everyone, congratulations on your first transformation. Let's get started with dinner."

The blood and corpses in the lounge were cleaned up, and security personnel pushed in a dining cart to distribute food.

The sumptuousness of the dinner exceeded Li Nuo's expectations.

Five synthetic sausages, two large bowls of synthetic starch, a bowl of liquid synthetic protein similar to milk, and two boiled eggs with purple yolks.

In terms of portion size, dinner is at least twice as much as lunch.

As the food was served, a strong feeling of hunger erupted in the body.

Li Nuo picked up the sausage and ate it with relish. With his other hand, he picked up the starch porridge and drank it guzzlingly. He then took the time to check his condition.

He found that his muscles had become thicker and more defined.

The most noticeable change is in the thighs. Now that I'm wearing casual clothes, the trouser legs are obviously a bit tight.

All of this points to increased muscle strength, but it's not known by how much.

No one spoke in the hall, and everyone who had received the booster was wolfing it down.

Holding a pipe in his hand, Robnos walked slowly, checking the condition of the apprentices one by one.

He paused from time to time to beam his datapad and obtain the apprentice's physical data.

I don’t know what kind of data he saw, but the smile on Robnos’ face became brighter, as if he was admiring a masterpiece he had created with his own hands.

"Perhaps you have already guessed that the booster I just injected contains the hallucinogenic substance of ghost mushrooms."

Robnos took a sip of his pipe, slowly exhaled the thick smoke, and smiled at everyone:
"Don't think that this kind of hallucinogenic substance has only disadvantages and no advantages. In fact, after a complex processing flow, hallucinogenic substances can be transformed into analgesics, stimulants, enhancers, and even made into ghost potions that give ordinary people psychic powers."

Use potions to give ordinary people psychic powers?

how can that be!

Aren't psychic powers innate?

If a person is not born a psychic, it is impossible for him to awaken psychic powers in the future.

This is written in black and white in the textbook.

How is it possible to awaken psychic powers by injecting potions?

Is the cunning supervisor deceiving us again?

"How do we know if what you say is true?"

"Are your words more authoritative than textbooks?"

"Hehe, unless you prove to us the authenticity of the ghost potion, we won't believe a word you say."

The apprentices at the scene raised questions one after another.

Robnos smiled slightly and did not refute:

"Changing a person's inherent perception is one of the most difficult things, but facts speak louder than words. One of you was injected with ghost potion in the enhancement. Let him prove whether what I said is true. Mazak, stand up and tell them how you feel now."

Robnos walked towards an apprentice.

The man named Mazaks became the focus of the whole audience.

He was a sturdy man in his early thirties, with strong facial lines, well-proportioned muscles, calloused hands, and a simple and honest look.

He put down the plate in his hand and stood up, his face showing panic, but he pretended to be calm:
"Director, thanks to you, I feel that I am much stronger than before. As for the psychic power you mentioned, I seem to have learned a little bit, but I don't know how to use it."

Robnos picked up the knife and handed it over. "Cut your wrist, then concentrate and stare at the wound, imagining that it is healing itself."

“Yes, Boss.” Mazaks held the knife, took a deep breath, and cut his wrist with force.

Blood was oozing out of the scarlet bloodstain. Mazaks glanced at Robnos nervously, then stared at the wound with wide eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the bloodstain stopped bleeding and formed a scab in just a few seconds.

Mazaks gasped, stunned, "Oh my god, my wounds are healed. Is this my psychic power?"

Everyone was stunned, feeling that their common sense was being shattered.

Mazaks was definitely not a psychic before, otherwise he would have been taken away by the Black Ship Alliance long ago.

The only explanation is the ghost potion.

There actually is a potion that can grant ordinary people psychic powers!
Robnos laughed:

"See? This is the effect of the ghost potion. The previous ghost potion could only give the user random psychic powers. The potion used by Mazaks is the latest one, which contains special ingredients that can help him awaken psychic powers related to self-healing. Now, does anyone still doubt the ghost potion?"

That's right.

But aren't you worried that the Black Ship Alliance will come and capture Mazaks?

Mazaks had studied for a few years, so he naturally knew about the existence of the Black Ship Alliance.

Faced with the spiritual power he suddenly possessed, he did not feel joy, but extreme fear:

"I, I, I, I, I couldn't be captured by the Black Ship Alliance, right? Boss, what should I do now?" Mazaks was in a panic and almost knelt down to Robnos.

Robnos looked normal, with a steady and confident smile.

He took out a metal card from his pocket, patted Mazaks on the shoulder and said comfortingly:
"Do you see the card in my hand? This is the artificial psyker certificate issued by the head of the Kram family. Any artificial psyker who is loyal to the Kram family can get such a certificate. With it, the Black Ship Alliance will not take you away. Come, Mazak, take it, this certificate belongs to you."

"Yes, Director! I am absolutely loyal to the Crum Family!!"

Mazaks was extremely excited and roared at the top of his lungs.

He took the card with both hands, stroked it affectionately, and even wanted to kiss the surface of the card hard.

The apprentices present did not know the relationship between psionics and the subspace, and only regarded psionics as a supernatural ability.

They were yearning for the ghost potion and looked at Mazak with envy.

There is only one exception.

That's Li Nuo.

He frowned slightly, feeling something was not right.

We are now at the end of the 30th millennium, at the end of the Great Crusade.

In order to conquer the galaxy, the Emperor established the Astronomican and Astronomican courts.

The Star Language Court consists of the Black Ship Alliance and the Psychic Academy.

The Black Ship Alliance is responsible for collecting psykers from various planets and conducting screening.

Psykers who pass the screening will be sent to the Psyker Academy. After training at the academy, they will become legal psykers in various departments of the empire.

Psykers who fail the Black Ship Alliance screening will be sent to the Astronomican.

The Astronomican Court is responsible for maintaining the Astronomican.

The light of the Astronomican can penetrate the Warp and provide guidance for the Imperial fleet's Warp navigation.

The Astronomican is fueled by the psyker's psychic energy.

The good news is that the emperor is now in good health and does not sit on the golden toilet for long.

The psychics who provided the Star Torch with psychic energy would not be drained away immediately after taking office like in later generations. Generally speaking, they would survive for one or two years.

So the question is, what was Mazaks so nervous about before? Wasn't it possible for him to become a legal psyker?

Yes, it is possible for him to become a legal psychic, but the probability is terribly low.

The academy textbooks said that less than 10% of psychics could pass the screening of the Black Ship Alliance, and the rest all became fuel for the Astronomican.

Mazaks is not a true psyker.

He is man-made, and the probability of passing the screening is almost zero, so he can only serve as fuel for the Star Torch.

That's why he was panicking.

Let’s talk about the ghost potion invented by the Kram family and the so-called artificial psychic certificate.

Li Nuo just wanted to say that this was simply playing with fire.

During the Great Crusade, the abuse of psionic energy by the human empire became rampant.

In order to conquer the galaxy, the Emperor turned a blind eye to the abuse of psionic powers.

Therefore, each world has a certain amount of discretion over the psykers on its own world.

Only psychics who are not needed by the major powers in the world will be thrown to the Black Ship Alliance.

Not to mention protecting artificial psychics, the head of the Kram family can even build a psychic guard for himself.

This large-scale abuse of psychic power was effectively curbed after the Council of Nicaea.

At that meeting, the Emperor declared most psykers illegal, with only a few such as navigators, astropaths, and the Legion's existing think tanks being given legal status.

What year is this?
985.M30!

When was the Council of Nicaea held?

If I remember correctly, it should be 001.M31.

The Kram family clearly wanted to make the ghost potion bigger and stronger.

If we team up with them now, wouldn't that be like being on a pirate ship? !

Li Nuo took a deep breath and made a decision in his heart.

You can get injections and medicine to gain skill points, but forget about getting on the pirate ship. The worst that can happen is that you can go to the bottom nest in person for the ghost fungus later.
