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

Chapter 205: Use my things to buy my things?

Poor little webway devil.

Its death is worthless.

Oh no, it still has some value.

It adds a page to the "Web Ecology" that Li Nuo is currently compiling.

The communication with the succubus did not disrupt the battle plan, and the following three nights were spent in sweeping out the demons.

On the fourth night, in the underground dock of the planet Palu.

A special cruiser with growth potential has just been launched.

Li Nuo possessed the witch boy and personally installed the second webchannel access device of the Palu warlord on the cruiser.

On the same day, a special cruiser named Wrench set sail.

It passed through the Webway node Star Bridge-T63-01A18, arrived at the Webway hub space, and successfully merged with the reconnaissance ship.

The commander of the Wrench is from the Iron Warriors tribe and his name is Zada.

He is both Ailon's personal guard and a technician boy, and is very good at building positions.

As a witch priest, Li Nuo ordered Zada to take over the task of sweeping out the demons.

Zada agreed without thinking twice, and never considered how a witch priest in the real universe could know the situation in the webway.

In his opinion, Wu Ji was the top henchman under Brother Mao. He knew everything about astronomy and geography, so it was normal for him to know everything about the situation in the network.

In this way, Zada led the Wrench to take over the work of the reconnaissance ship, first clearing out the demons and then building an outpost.

Li Nuo switched the view back to the reconnaissance ship and continued to explore the webway nodes.

The Webway Hub has 5 available nodes.

One of them was corrupted by Slaanesh, and purple energy tassels and a 1 km long rift appeared on the node's gate.

The remaining 4 nodes are healthy.

星辰之桥-T63-01A18是其中1个，另外3个节点分别通往亚空间生物坟场、网道城市，和编号为T42-03A54的网道枢纽。

Li Nuo commanded the reconnaissance ship to enter these three nodes in turn to find out the situation inside.

The Subspace Biological Cemetery is a huge space with a diameter of more than 1 million kilometers, in which many Subspace biological specimens are floating.

The specimens occupied more than half of the space, and the spaces between the specimens became paths for ships to navigate. These paths, together with the specimens, formed an extremely complex three-dimensional maze.

Li Nuo observed many life signs of demons in it.

Out of caution, he took a quick look at the cemetery and then retreated.

His second stop was the ruins of the Webway city.

Countless pieces of rubble and dust suspended in the vacuum formed a fluffy ruin.

There are demonic life signals deep in the ruins, and they are quite strong.

Further ahead, the Psy-Boy discovered a Webway node corrupted by Slaanesh.

Also out of caution, Li Nuo did not go deeper into it, and instead went to the T42-03A54 Webway Hub.

The situation here is much better than T63-01A18.

There are no corrupted nodes, no demons, and the majority of nodes are marked as "safe" by the system.

The process of exploration was destined to be dangerous and boring. Li Nuo immersed himself in it, occasionally activating the bacterial ability - the mental network, and observing the battle between the Wrench and the Chicken Run from a distance.

Most of the night passed in this way, and a network map appeared on the dot map of the reconnaissance ship.

Li Nuo's academic experience at the graduate level cultivated his sensitivity to numbers, letters and sequencing.

By analyzing the network map, he keenly discovered certain patterns.

First, nodes starting with T all lead to the network hub.

Those starting with N correspond to the webway city, A corresponds to the military fortress of the Old Ones, B is the single crystal production base, P is the scientific database of the Old Ones, and V is the subspace biological cemetery.

Second, there are Webway nodes connected to the real universe around Webway hubs and Webway cities.

Third, the closer to the Eye of Terror, the more corrupted the Webway nodes become.

Li Nuo entered and exited more than a dozen network nodes connected to the real universe and confirmed that this phenomenon is widespread.

Fourth, the network channel numbers can be traced.

The closer you are to the center of the Milky Way, the earlier the letters in the web number appear and the smaller the number.

Take the network hub node T63-01A18 as an example.

With the center of the Milky Way as the center, draw a sphere with a radius of 6.3 light years.

The two numbers after the first letter of the node near this sphere are both "63".

"T63" means that the Webway hub is 6.3 light-years away from the center of the Milky Way.

“63-”后面的“01”，代表网道枢纽空间的直径，“01”即直径1亿公里左右，小于1亿公里标记为“00”。

"A" is the environmental template of space, specifically referring to a vacuum environment. No other types of environmental templates have been encountered so far.

"18" is the number of the hub on the sphere, which means it is the 6.3th webway hub on the sphere 18 light-years away from the center of the Milky Way.

According to this rule, the number of the network hub under the golden toilet should be:
T19-00AXX.

With a hint of curiosity, Li Nuo drove the reconnaissance ship through the webway, trying to find the hub under the golden toilet to verify his guess.

After wandering around in the webway for ten days, Li Nuo finally found the webway node leading to the Solar Star Region.

The exit of the T13-01A13 node is located in the Epimite sub-sector, less than 5 light years away from Epimite.

The exit of the T13-00A12 node is 6 million kilometers away from the planet where the Chaos Orcs are located, and can be reached by sub-light speed travel.

Li Nuo accelerated the exploration with great interest, and at midnight that day, he arrived at the hole under the golden toilet.

The hub city built by the Eldar floats in the center of the hub space, and the light emitted by the city illuminates all directions.

Draconian, the Undivided Chaos God, was born from the first murder of human civilization.

His murderous demons roam the dimly lit void, harassing visiting ships and torturing the minds of psionic brats.

"Activate the shitty shield and don't get close to that shiny city. The witch priest told me that there are hard mechas with pointy ears in that city, as well as a lot of useless gold corns and gear boys. As long as we don't get too close, they can't hit us."

As Li Nuo gave orders, a green, junk shield enveloped the ship, squeezing out the sneaky murderer.

The noisy boy raised his head and shouted:

"Boss, there's a shrimp signal trying to get in. It says it's Golden Corn and wants to talk to you."

call?

What the hell!
Li Nuo still remembers clearly the expressions on Golden Corn's face when he was communicating with Greenskin.

Poor Big Black Tooth, who had a great reputation all his life, was eventually fooled by Golden Corn and ended up crashing into a star with his ship.

Li Nuo would never be fooled by Golden Corn.

"Don't pay attention to the shrimps, especially the golden corns. They have more evil ideas than the stinkiest and dirtiest fart spirits."

"hold head high!"

The noisy boy cut off the communication signal.

The scout ship sailed along the edge of the illumination range, searching for Webway nodes that were not obscured by the murder demons.

"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock."

Communication signals came in one after another, and the noisy boy moved his fingers to turn off the signal.

This move seemed to anger the Golden Corn and Oil Man in the city.

A Moon-class cruiser took off, escorted by four Sword-class frigates, and the five ships approached the scout ship in a straight line.

Li Nuo didn't want to engage in armed conflict unless necessary.

He thought about it and came up with a solution.

Out of a sense of belonging to his human identity, hadn't he decided to help the Emperor repair the Webway entrance?

This requires him to provide 3140 million tons of subspace energy single crystals.

Giving so many single crystals to the yellow-skinned guy for nothing is tantamount to admitting that you are an idiot.

Li Nuo made the decision.

He wants to sell the single crystal at a good price.

He reached into his pocket, took out a can of single crystals from the fungus warehouse, and placed it casually on the command desk. He also took some waste materials, guns and other things and piled them next to it, making the table messy.

From the perspective of the holographic communication lens, Jin Yumi could just see the jar of single crystal at the edge of the communication screen.

Next, it depends on whether Jinmai knows the value of the product.

Li Nuo took off his ceramic steel armor and put on a set of tattered protective gear made of scraps.

He deliberately thrust his jaw forward so that his lower lip became overbite.

Jin Yumi has a very sharp eye, so it would be best not to let him see the uniqueness of this group of orcs.

After confirming that his appearance was no different from that of an ordinary orc, Li Nuo ordered:

"Put in the signal from Golden Corn."

"hold head high."

The Noisy Boy tapped the mechanical button and a holographic communication screen popped up.

Golden armor, a helmet with bright red mane, a burly figure and a halberd used exclusively by the Imperial Guards.

The golden corn in the picture had a grim tone, and was obviously a little impatient:
"Orc, listen to me. There is a safe webway exit at 6 o'clock on your bow. Leave here, and don't make me repeat these words. You only have one chance."

Yes, yes, there is indeed a safe exit from the webway.

But the exit outside is a stellar one.

And the exit is more than 1000 kilometers above the star.

Wouldn't it be seeking death if you go out from there?

Li Nuo complained in his heart, but on the surface he remained rude and wild, spitting and shouting: "Golden Corn, I'm not a fool! I won't be fooled by you!"

"Orc, you are looking for death." The imperial guard's eyes were cold, but he was suddenly startled. He lowered his head slightly and looked at the jar in front of the orc.

The imperial guard's head was covered by a golden helmet, but Li Nuo could still clearly perceive the changes in his expression.

At first it was doubt.

After 0.1 seconds, confusion turned into shock.

Another 0.1 second passed, and the shock disappeared, replaced by calmness.

The imperial guard turned his head to look outside the screen, communicated with the person next to him using the internal communication channel, and then looked at the communication camera again.

He raised his hand and pointed to the jar on the table:

"Where did this thing come from?"

"What?" Li Nuo pretended not to be very smart.

"I mean, where did you get this jar of crystals?"

"I picked this up."

"Where did you pick it up?" asked the imperial guard.

At the same time, the human fleet hunting the reconnaissance ship slowed down and cruised outside the firing range of the two sides to avoid accidental firing.

"I picked it up on the web."

"Tell me more specifically." The imperial guard asked patiently. The gloves he was holding on the halberd rubbed against the halberd, making a crisp crackling sound, indicating that his patience was about to be worn out.

Li Nuo grinned and picked up the can:

"Do you want this jar of shiny powder? I can sell it to you."

The guards realized that the orcs in front of them only looked stupid, but their thinking speed was not slow, so they simply made it clear:

"Not only do I want to buy your powder, I also want to know where you picked it up. You are orc pirates who have just entered the privateering business, right? I know a lot of orcs like you. For example, the famous orc pirate captain Big Black Fang in the Misty Star Region. I have a good relationship with him and often do business with him."

Are you on good terms with Big Black Tooth?

Bullshit!
I see you have a good relationship with Big Black Tooth's ashes.

The imperial guards were so shameless that Li Nuo almost couldn't hold it back.

"I don't know what the big black tooth is. I found a lot of shiny powder on the Internet. What do you want to buy it with?"

"Wait a minute, let's discuss this."

The Imperial Guard closed the voice channel and discussed with his companions next to him on the communication screen.

The psychic boy who was responsible for finding the exit had achieved results.

A route appeared on the holographic map, the destination of which was a Webway hub node that was not occupied by the murder demon. The node gate was healthy and had no signs of corruption.

Based on the experience Li Nuo had accumulated over the past ten days, the space inside the Cyberway hub was generally safe, with only a few demon chickens at most.

Li Nuo gestured calmly, ordering the helmsman to change direction and head to the node gate.

The five ships of the Human Empire followed closely.

The Imperial Guards noticed the direction the greenskin ship was sailing and after a brief moment of contemplation did not stop it.

After a while, the Imperial Guards opened the voice channel.

"What's your name, orc?"

After hearing this question, Li Nuo was basically certain that the node gate he was about to arrive at was safe.

If the node gate is not safe, both he and his ship will die, so there is no need for the imperial guards to remember their names.

Now, the question raised by the Imperial Guards is a default assumption that the orcs will leave safely, and that there will be transactions between the two sides in the foreseeable future.

"My name is Bloody Hand." Li Nuo showed off his red gloves.

The Imperial Guard nodded and said:
"Very good, Bloodhand, I will remember you. Orc pirates like you should lack food the most. Let me give you a set of equipment for making synthetic starch. You can use it to convert the residue of promethium refining into synthetic starch, and the conversion efficiency is three times that of ordinary equipment. How about it? I am sincere enough. Now tell me where you picked up the shiny powder."

Li Nuo was almost petrified.

Equipment for converting promethium refining residue into synthetic starch?

You are not mistaken, brother.

This seems to be something I invented!
You take my things and buy my things. Do you still have any shame?

Li Nuo was so speechless that he burst into laughter:

"I don't lack food! I want green mud!"

"Green mud?" The imperial guards were confused by the orc jargon.

An electronic synthesized voice came from outside the screen. It should be the mechanical priest next to him speaking:
"The green mud should refer to light water radiation."

The Imperial Guards understood.

The orc in front of him has an unusual hobby and likes to collect light water radiation.

There are two things that the human empire currently lacks the most. The first is death, and the second is radioactive waste.

"Sure, no problem. How much green light mud do you want?"

"You give me 1 ton of green mud, and I'll give you 1 gram of shiny powder."

"No, what I need is the location where the powder appears."

"I won't tell you."

"You have to tell me. Don't make me destroy your ship."

"I'm dead, so don't even bother to find out where the powder is!"

The imperial guards were silent. The metal gloves rubbed against the halberds violently, and the crisp sound of "ka ka ka" became louder and louder.

The voice of the Mechanical Priest interrupted:
"My Lord, I suggest destroying Bloody Hand's ship. I can capture the ship's pheromones, track its past traces in the webway, and find the source of the powder. This plan has a 99.9% success rate."

This mechanical priest is like a supporting role. When the imperial guards are speechless, he will speak.

"Did you hear that, Bloody Hand?" The Imperial Guard suppressed his impatience and advised:
"My men told me that if we destroy your ship, we can still find out where you got the powder from. Now, tell me where the powder came from."

Li Nuo scoffed at the Mechanical Priest's statement.

Yes, that's right, the Mechanicus has lit up the technology tree at the molecular level, which can accurately capture the pheromones of things and track the traces of molecules in a targeted manner.

But our ship is not so easy to be destroyed.

If Li Nuo hadn't wanted to earn some extra money from the yellow-skinned guy, he would have ordered the ship to enter sub-light speed and rushed into the node gate in one breath.

"I won't tell you where the shiny powder is. I said, 1 ton of green mud for 1 gram of powder! I'll come over after you've thought it over!"

Li Nuo picked up the jar on the table and threw it to the fart spirit.

The fart spirit caught the can, stuffed it into the capsule compartment, and launched it from the bridge.

The capsule attracted the attention of the human fleet.

The Imperial Guards noticed the orcs' actions through the communication screen and immediately ordered the fleet to recover the capsule.

Li Nuo pressed the button to close the communication channel, then pointed forward:
"Let's go, boys! Let Golden Corn catch us!"

"Wuhu~ What the hell is wrong!"

"Golden Corn is a big fool~"

The fart guy is just making a fuss.

The helmsman boy pulled the lever, and the ship entered sub-light speed sailing. It shot out with a whoosh and rushed into the node gate that had just been opened.

The human fleet following the scout ship hurriedly completed the recovery work.

They had no time to chase the orcs, and immediately returned the same way and delivered the cans to the imperial guards.

the other side.

Inside the webway city built by the Eldar.

La Endymion received the can and handed it over to the Mechanical Priest for inspection.

Soon, the inspection report for the crystal came out, and the various parameters in it were highly consistent with the mesh material.

La was completely out of control, his body was shaking with excitement.

He held a halberd in his hand and stood in front of the sound array device. A slightly trembling voice came from under his helmet:
"Damn orcs, they are so cunning. My intuition tells me that this orc who calls himself Bloody Hand is not just a privateer leader. It seems that he is as familiar with the Webway as we are."

"I agree with your point of view, my lord." The mechanical priest touched the button with his metal fingers and called up the previous communication video from the Thinker array.

The Mechanical Priest sliced the video, extracted several frames from it and presented them, then used the Mechanicus's image analysis module to conduct an in-depth study of the images.

"Lord Endymion, please look here." The Mechanical Priest shot a thin beam of light from his fingertips, pointing to the corner of one of the pictures:

"Did you notice? This is the corner behind the bridge command desk."

"Yes, I saw it." Endymion moved closer and asked in confusion:

"What's wrong with this corner? It looks like there's nothing there?"

"My Lord. For us humans, it is normal to have nothing in the corners, but it is different for orcs. Their ecological environment depends on Squiggles and Farts. The probability of these two defecating anywhere is extremely close to 100%."

The Mechanical Priest switched the screen and asked Endymion to check different corners of the wall. These corners were all empty.

No, it should be said that it is spotless.

"So clean." Endymion murmured.

The Mechanical Priest nodded:
"Yes, sir, it's so clean. We didn't see any excrement, blood, solid waste or liquid pollutants. If the Auger matrix scan results hadn't shown that the life forms on the ship were 100% orcs, I would have almost thought we had encountered a group of civilized people disguised as orcs."

Endymion said something, then turned and left with the crystal and the inspection report:

"I will report what happened to the Marshal. Stay alert."

"As you wish, my lord."

After taking a few steps, Endymion stopped, turned around and asked:
"By the way, what was behind the node gate that the orc ship entered?"

"That's Dark Eldar territory. The chance of Bloody Hand encountering the Cabal is 22.9%."
