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

Chapter 245 Ulanno: A Land of Outstanding People and Abundant Resources

Li Nuo pushed open the cell door and entered the cell. Isabella, lying on the bed, was examining her skin with her arm raised.

After the genetic modification was completed, Isabella's skin color changed from the original purplish-black to light purple, and her overall "brightness" increased significantly.

Li Nuo opened the system interface, used his mind to lock onto Isabella, and redeemed the second reward from the Waaagh simulation.

Please describe precisely the object you want to simulate.

"Isatrian".

[Searching for simulated objects.]

Search complete.

Search results: 1 items.

Name: Isabella.

[Start calculating simulated prices.]

The simulation subject is an Orc Boy, and the starting price for the simulation is 1 Magical Spore.

[The simulated object possesses the genetic mask and life trait embedding code deployed by the Bloodlings; the starting price for the simulation includes 2000 Magical Spores.]

[The simulated subject has undergone extensive genetic modification. Compared to a standard orc boy, the simulated subject's genetic purity is only 1%, resulting in a starting price 1000% higher.]

【最终的模拟价格为（1+2000）*（1+1000%）=22011颗神奇孢子。】

[Number of miraculous spores: 58.]

[Start a new Waaagh simulation?]

It worked!

Li Nuo was secretly delighted and silently recited in his heart:

"Create a simulation save file for Isabella, but do not start the simulation."

[You have used 22011 Magic Spores to create a save file for "Isatrian".]

[Archive file created.]

Li Nuo opened the save file interface and saw that the save file for "Isatrian" was prominently displayed at the bottom.

I feel much more at ease now.

As long as we keep an eye on Isabella and prevent her from having the opportunity to perform gene-editing surgery on herself, she'll never escape the clutches of that green-skinned old man!

quack quack!
Li Nuo suppressed his joy and said:

"You're awake? The surgery was a success. Do you feel any changes in yourself?"

Li Nuo gestured to the bastards in the cell, instructing them to push the testing equipment over.

Isabella propped herself up on the edge of the bed, her brow furrowed, her expression extremely complex—six parts relief, three parts regret, and one part fear.
"The desires for torment, sadism, and ravaging have left my body, and I have never been so lucid. You have deprived me of the right to seek pleasure. I don't know whether to thank you or curse you."

"I think it's a good thing for you to get rid of your vulgar desires. You should thank me from the bottom of your heart and be my slave."

Li Nuo crossed his arms and instructed the butt spirit to attach electrodes to Isabella to check her physical condition.

Isabella chuckled:

"If I wanted to get rid of my vulgar desires, I could just find a blood-drinking prostitute. But I didn't. Do you know why?"

Li Nuo shrugged slightly. "Because black bean sprouts love this kind of thing. They feel uncomfortable if they don't indulge in it for a day."

Isabella rolled her eyes at the orc:
“We need to strengthen our souls by satisfying our desires. When we enter the real universe, Slaanesh will devour our souls. If we cannot strengthen our souls as fast as Slaanesh devours them, we will surely die.”

"Then you should never go to the real universe in your life. It's not difficult."

Li Nuo activated the monitoring equipment to scan Isabella's body data.

All indicators are normal, and physical condition has improved in all aspects. This is the reward for getting rid of bad habits.

"So, this is how you control me? You erase my desires, preventing me from strengthening my soul, thus limiting my range of actions. At the same time, you erased that part of my physiological structure, preventing me from breaking the genetic mask by drinking the bloody brew, eliminating the possibility of me performing gene editing. I can only be a spirit without desires and unable to strengthen my soul for the rest of my life."

Isabella laughed self-deprecatingly:

"Hehe. I must say, the combination of these two methods is surprisingly effective. I couldn't think of a way to break free from these constraints for a moment. It seems I've really failed this time."

You're making quite a lot of assumptions.

Li Nuo glanced at Isabella, but didn't reply. Instead, he got to the point:

"Stop rambling. I need all the information in your soul code. First, hand over the information about the military fortress space where the key to the Heart of Fire production line is located. I advise you to cooperate obediently and not try anything funny."

Honestly, if possessing Isabella didn't make him feel uncomfortable, Li Nuo would have already used Waaagh to simulate and control Isabella and read her soul code.

The so-called "reading soul codes" is actually not a very complicated technical task.

Based on the confessions obtained, the soul code seems to be a "system".

By simply reciting "Soul Code" in their minds, the Eldar can see the information engraved in their souls.

Li Nuo strongly suspects that his [Mushroom Farm] system exists in the form of soul coding.

"What will happen to me after you get the information you want?" Isabella asked hesitantly.

Li Nuo turned off the detection equipment, let the fart-like creature drag the device away, and replied with his arms crossed:
"If you behave well, I can allow you to live here. If you want to leave, that's fine too."

"You're allowing me to leave?" Isabella's eyes flickered slightly, quite surprised.

“Yes.” Li Nuo nodded:

"I'm a man of my word, and what I say goes. If you tell me the information, I can let you leave. But let me make this clear: letting you leave doesn't mean I'll allow you to restore your genes. I've added a piece of genetic code to your genome. Without my permission, any unauthorized gene editing will only result in your death. You can try it if you don't believe me."

Isabella lowered her head and said sadly:

“Alright. I understand. You must have collected quite a few supplies on the Comoros these past few days, right? Have you found any octahedral rhomboid crystals? Bring me a perfectly intact one. I will export my soul code into the crystal and give you a blueprint for a soul code to digital signal compiler. You can build the compiler according to the blueprint and convert the soul code into binary signals.”

“Very good.” Li Nuo nodded slightly and took out the Noisy Box to contact the orc boy outside.

A short while later, four fart demons carried in a dark red metal box.

The box was opened, and on a velvet cushion lay a dazzling crystal. Next to the crystal was an ornate note with a line written in flamboyant, flamboyant handwriting:

"This item is dedicated to the love between Perferia and Contadas."

This is a token of love between a Phantom Elf couple, and a deeply unforgettable tragedy.

Li Nuo discovered the metal box in the underground chamber. On the ground beside it lay two inhuman corpses of the Ark Spirit Race, surrounded by a circle of black bean sprouts.

The deafening shockwave killed them, ending the cruel torture ritual and freeing the Ark Spirit couple.

Li Nuo picked up the crystal, felt the cool touch on his fingertips, and handed it to Isabella.

Isabelle stroked the crystal, closed her eyes, and a faint light shone from within the crystal.

A moment later, the soul code was exported, and Isabella handed over the compiler's blueprints.

The compiler is a device similar to a "balance scale". A crystal is placed on the left and a pipeline is connected on the right. The pipeline is connected to the green "computer", which is the calculator.

When the compiler is powered on, the light in the crystal is absorbed by the compiler.

Soul encoding is converted into binary data through complex Eldar runes, and then converted into Low Gothic language by a calculator.

The translation process is quite lengthy, taking about six months to complete.

Fortunately, Isabella had some self-awareness; the compiler she provided could translate and output the text simultaneously.

Once a text is translated, it will appear on the calculator's screen in Low Gothic language.

Isatrian knew the orcs were eager to open the gates of the Heart of Fire production line, so she wisely placed this intelligence at the forefront of the transfer queue.

After waiting for half an hour beside the calculator, Li Nuo successfully obtained the most crucial intelligence. The calculator screen displayed the following:
[Network Node: Star Bridge - A52-15T23.]

[Node Type: Military Fortress Space Built by the Ancients.]

[Authorization serial number: Tsohuwar Tsarkakakken Soja…]

【Node Details:】

This military fortress space was completed before the start of the War of Heaven, and its main facilities include:

[1. Network Node Dispatch and Command Center, used to block or unlock network nodes, change the destination of network nodes, etc.]

[Second, the Cyber ​​Strategy Room, used to search for intruders within the cyberspace, formulate battle plans, and command the war machines within the military fortress;]

Third, an integrated defense array designed to eliminate any unauthorized intruders without access to the military fortress.

Fourth, the War Machine Delivery Core, used to deploy war machines for rapid response to operational plans;

【...】

The military fortress contains a wide variety of facilities.

Li Nuo extracted the two most crucial pieces of intelligence from a large amount of information.

First, inside the military fortress are war machines forged by ancient saints.

Second, war machines can be teleported to any location within the network and immediately engage in combat.

The intelligence did not specify what the war machine was.

Since the emergence of the Eldar, the war machines created by the Ancient Ones have been sealed deep within military fortresses and have never been seen by outsiders.

The combat capabilities of this war machine are beyond doubt.

Whoever controls the ancient sage's military fortress will truly become the master of the online world.

So the question is, how do you control a military fortress?
An authorization serial number only allows visitors to enter; control of a military fortress depends on the purity of its "bloodline."

To put it more bluntly, it's about gene purity.

Take orcs as an example.

Today's orcs have degenerated significantly, with their genetic purity only about 30% of that of the ancient saints.

When the genetic purity is increased to over 99%, the orcs will gain the recognition of the military fortress and become its rulers.

Li Nuo was already having a headache just from causing the ancient fungi to revert to their ancestral forms, let alone promoting the reversion of orcs to their ancestral forms.

Fortunately, there's always a way out.

The ancient sages did not want to sever their lineage of the Internet.

They have set up a treasure trove in both the cyberspace and the real universe.

The treasure trove contains complete genetic templates, which future ancient sages created to improve their genetic purity.

Li Nuo was very familiar with the treasure trove within the network; it was the Dark Chaos Library, which he had briefly visited before, also known as the Black Library.

The gene templates sealed in the Black Library are Eldar.

The orcs' genetic templates are stored in a treasure trove in the real universe.

When Li Nuo learned its approximate location, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

That place is now the Ulanno Star Region!
"Could the ancient strengthening fungus in the hands of Beast King Ulgr be the one he dug up from the treasure trove of the ancient saints?! That place is truly blessed with outstanding people and resources, no wonder it could give rise to the Ulanor Beastman Empire."

Li Nuo carefully recalled the memories of Usa, the chief mad doctor of the Beast King.

Before Usa became the chief mad doctor, there was another chief mad doctor in Ulger, whose name was Ukrama.

After Urg obtained the Ancient Strengthening Fungus, Ukramar disappeared for some reason, and then Usa officially took over.

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that Ukrama was silenced by Urge in order to prevent the exact location of the ancient holy treasure from being revealed.

Li Nuo pondered that if he wanted to obtain the gene template, he only had two paths to take.

Alternatively, you can manually search for the location of the treasure.

Alternatively, you could gather a large number of magical spores, possess Urg, and read his memories.

These two paths do not interfere with each other and can be used simultaneously.

Li Nuo pondered to himself, then left the translation room and went outdoors.

This place is located on the surface of the Comoros.

The "starry sky" above was pitch black, with occasional faint flashes of light as the Palu Expeditionary Force wiped out the remaining black bean sprouts.

The destruction of Comoros does not mean that black bean sprouts have completely disappeared.

Many pirate crews that went to raid the real universe escaped the great battle and the devastating bombardment that took place more than ten days ago.

After these black bean sprout pirates returned to Comoros, they were wiped out by the Palu Expeditionary Force stationed there, leaving no one alive.

Elon was in charge of commanding the annihilation battle.

Beast has already returned to the NetCyber ​​Graveyard.

The cleanup of the Comoros surface is being directed by the space that Lino is currently inhabiting.

Li Nuo opened the system interface, selected the save file of Kron, the leader of the Blood Raven Clan, and clicked "Load".

In an instant, Li Nuo switched consciousness and descended into Kron's body, taking command of the reconnaissance ship of the Palu fleet.

“Listen up, boys. The High Priest just appeared in my dream and told us to go to the Star Bridge - A52-15T23.”

Li Nuo wrote down the authorization serial number required to access the military fortress on the data tablet and handed it to the helmsman boy below the command platform:
"Enter this serial number into the network accessor. With it, we won't be destroyed by the gravity turrets when we enter that network node."

"Alright, boss." The helmsman connected the data panel and the network accessor, turned the rudder, and headed towards the network node under the guidance of the star map.

Shortly afterward, the reconnaissance ship arrived near the node.

The network access device projected beams of light, illuminating the road ahead and also the mysterious runes on the node gates.

The node gate slowly opened, and the reconnaissance ship flew in, officially entering the military fortress built by the Ancient Ones.

"hiss------"

"Brother Mao, this place is truly amazing!"

"I saw so many sparkly things!"

Shouts and commotion erupted from the bridge as the boys drooled over the view outside the portholes.

This is a kaleidoscope-like online space.

Exquisite geometric shapes pieced together to form a beautiful yet deadly picture, unfolding far from the reconnaissance ship.

Some of the shapes resemble gears, some resemble the crystal patterns of a single crystal, and some resemble sliding rods moving back and forth.

Each of their operations is precisely timed to a certain rhythm, mechanically executing the instructions left behind by the ancient sages.

Li Nuo stopped by the porthole and gazed at the unparalleled view, and was suddenly struck by the illusion that he was inside a mechanical device.

Now is not a good time to explore this place; let's get the Heart of Fire first.

Li Nuo returned to the command post and shouted the order:

"Stop daydreaming! See that flashing dot over there? That's the key to the Heart of Fire production line. Use the tractor beam to get it and take it to the Space Chief. Hurry up, don't dawdle!"
