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

Chapter 248 Friends, how about learning about Tantric Buddhism?

The animal skin scroll slowly fell to the ground.

As the golden sheen on its surface fades, the ancient aura of the scroll spreads out, filled with the weight of history.

Ukrama caught the slowly descending scroll, opened it, glanced at it briefly, and instantly his face lit up with joy:

"Boss, this is the genetic template of the ancient orcs! The scroll says that the genetic template can only be learned once. After that, the scroll will decompose on its own. I think if you give me a few days, I should be able to learn this genetic template."

Gene template!

And they were ancient orcs!

Upon hearing this, Li Nuo immediately stood up, staring intently at the animal hide scroll in Ukrama's hand, his breathing and heartbeat quickening uncontrollably.

Identification technique, activated!

[Identification successful.]

[Name: Ancient Orc Genetic Template]

[Type: Ancient Sacred Creature.]

【describe:】

This is an orcish sorcery scroll crafted from the leather of the ancient Shigug. After the Mad Doctor uses his "My Contemplation Power" on this item, he can learn the complete genetic template of the ancient orcs from it.

This scroll has a limited number of learning attempts; it can be learned a maximum of once.

[Current remaining learning attempts: 1/1.]

Once the learning opportunity is exhausted, the text on the scroll disappears completely, and the scroll immediately decomposes, becoming unrecyclable.

[Please note! This item is anchored to the real universe by the Old Ones. You cannot perform warp walks while carrying this item.]

A gene template that can only be learned once!

Limited availability, first come, first served!
Just as Li Nuo was about to snatch the scroll, he witnessed an unexpected scene.

Urg took the scroll, glanced at it a few times, then crumpled it into a ball and tossed it to the ground like trash.

Its movements, its expression, every pore on its body exudes disdain for the ancient beastmen.

This scene stunned not only Li Nuo, but even Ukrama, who remained speechless for a long time.

"Boss, that's the genetic template of the ancient orcs."

“I know.” Ulger snorted and chuckled.

"So what if they're ancient beastmen? Have they even survived to this day? No! But we, the Ulanor beastmen, have survived to this day! This proves that the Ulanor beastmen are a hundred times stronger than the ancient beastmen! We are ten thousand times stronger than the ancient beastmen!"

what! ?

What kind of thought process is this?
Is it really okay for you to compare yourself to the ancient orcs like that?

But...on another note...

That seems to make sense.

If the ancient orcs were powerful enough, they wouldn't have disappeared in this era. They should be like black bean sprouts, running rampant in the online world and the real universe.

In the 30k and 40k eras, the ancient orcs were the most marginal characters, at most appearing in the background.

Are these creatures really as powerful as the rumors suggest?
Li Nuo seems to understand Ulger's thought process a little better now.

In addition, Lino suspects that Ulger's paranoia is acting up again.

This guy desperately craves power, but at the same time worries that his subordinates might make trouble and leak his secrets.

The ancient strengthening fungus is an example.

Ulger kept a close watch on this fungus.

Whenever it is needed, Urge takes a small jar and gives it to the current chief mad doctor, Usa, for use.

No one else should come into contact with this fungus.

Ulger's attitude toward gene templates was similar.

He was worried that the mad doctor was secretly studying the templates and would quietly create an opponent for him, which is why he deliberately downplayed the value of the ancient orcs.

Regardless of what Ulger really thought, he had to see the contents of the scroll.

Li Nuo crept closer, ready to make his move on the scroll at any moment.

Ukramar tried to pick up the scroll, but was stopped by Urg's royal guards.

Ulger slammed his hand on the armrest and pointed at the cube:
"Stop dawdling here! What I want is the ultimate treasure, not this bullshit scroll! I don't understand genetic templates, I want pure power! Keep breaking the seal!"

Ukrama stared at the scroll on the ground, his eyes flickering slightly, and then he sighed deeply.

"Alright, boss. I'll go break the third seal right away. Don't worry, I have a feeling the treasure inside the third seal will definitely satisfy you."

The geometry on the cube's surface began to change again, this time with a much greater magnitude than before, and the number of shapes was extremely large.

Ukrama had gained valuable experience from two successful cracking attempts.

When faced with the geometric puzzle for the third time, it simply summoned over 100,000 psionic boys to conduct a solution experiment on a scale three times larger than before.

The crumpled animal hide scroll lay forlornly on the ground.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Nuo found it difficult to make a move, but fortunately, this situation did not last long.

Two days later, the opportunity came.

Perhaps because Ulger had been underground for too long, the reputation of the legendary collector Roger spread again through the "Great Crown".

Many orcs burrowed underground in search of the legendary legacy of Roger.

A fart spirit somehow found a passage leading to this place and fell from the ceiling, landing right on the ancient saint's treasure chest.

"Hahaha! I think I've discovered Roger's legacy! ...Hey? Boss Ulger, what are you doing here?"

The farting devil was overjoyed.

The Beast King's personal guard unleashed a punch.

"Pfft!"

The fart essence turned into minced meat.

The pipe outlet in the ceiling was immediately blocked by the arriving technician.

Ulger was so enraged by the farting that he led the Beast King's personal guards to the ground to suppress the rumors.

With its departure, the guards of the animal skin scrolls had far fewer eyes to look at them.

Li Nuo seized the opportunity and used vibration techniques on the cables and generator to artificially create a short circuit.

"Crack!"

Sparks flew everywhere, illuminating the tubing that powered the amniotic fluid tank and the lights.

Half a second later, all the lights went out, leaving only the geometric patterns on the surface of the treasure chest emitting a faint glow.

The tech expert quickly repaired the circuit, ordering the young technician to activate the backup power supply and backup cables.

The backup power supply and cables were unresponsive. The technician tried three different backup devices, but the problem persisted, which infuriated both the tech expert and the technician.

Call?
Calling also counts as time!

When Li Nuo damages the pipeline, he will of course bring the backup power supply with him.

Only in this way can he buy himself enough time.

He darted to the scroll, reached out and scooped it up, then quickly moved away from the scene, disappearing into a nook or cranny.

Activating the night vision module of his goggles, Li Nuo secretly reads the text on the scroll and simultaneously exchanges for an "offline search" opportunity.

[Retrieving the genetic knowledge base of the Witch Boy - Sack offline.]

Sack is both a shamanic boy and a mad doctor; his genetic knowledge base should contain what Lino needs.

【Search completed.】

Search results: 1 item.

[Title: Shorthand of Ancient Orc Genetic Templates]

[Learning cost: 1000 million skill points.]

【illustrate:】

[After redeeming this option, you will instantly save the ancient orc genetic template from the scroll.]

The learning cost of offline retrieval is 10 times that of "online" learning.

In other words, the normal cost of quickly memorizing the ancient orc gene template is 100 million skill points, corresponding to 1000 million simulated points.

Li Nuo didn't want the unfamiliar mad doctor to learn this template, so for the past few days, he hadn't changed his simulated role, continuing to play the special forces kid, Axon. This would significantly increase the learning curve, but it was safer and posed no hidden dangers.

"Confirm learning!"

You have spent 1 million simulated points to exchange for 1000 million skill points.

[Remaining simulation points: 3.3 million.]

A flood of information rushed into my mind, and a wave of dizziness washed over me.

Three seconds later, everything returned to calm.

The scroll in his hand turned into fine sand and slid to the ground.

The sand vaporizes in mid-air and becomes invisible before hitting the ground.

The scroll containing the genetic template of the ancient orcs has completely disappeared from this world.

Li Nuo repeatedly confirmed that he had not revealed his presence, and then used subspace walking to prepare to leave the place.

Then, the lights came back on, and the area around the treasure chest was brightly lit. The psionic boy in the amniotic fluid jar continued to solve the geometric puzzle.

"Huh? Where did the scroll go?" The Beast King's guard scratched his head, looking at the empty space in confusion.

Ukramar had been keeping an eye on the situation of the Psionic Boy Matrix until it heard the voice of the Beast King's Guard, at which point it looked at the floor tile where the scroll was located.

There was nothing there; not even a scroll, not even a hair.

"I didn't take the scroll! I absolutely didn't steal the scroll!"

The Beast King's guards instinctively looked at the mad doctor, the only one on the scene who could read the gene template, which startled Ukrama into screaming.

Just then, Urg returned underground.

It heard Ukrama's shouts as soon as it entered the room, and then discovered that the scroll was missing.

"Ukrama! What did you do while I was away?!"

Ulger strode forward, closing in step by step, as if he intended to crush his opponent.

Ukrama retreated repeatedly, shouting in fear:

"Boss Ulger! You have to believe me! While it was pitch black, I was fiddling with the Psionic Kid Matrix! You'll see, I adjusted the matrix parameters, and in just one hour, no, no, just ten minutes, I can break the third seal!"

Ulger stopped, reached for his ten-meter-long broadsword, and said coldly:

"Alright! If you can break the third seal within ten minutes, I'll spare you."

Ukrama pulled out the controller for the PsyKid Matrix, turned the knob, and maxed out the power.

"Zzzzzzzzz————"

Current surged, and static noise buzzed.

The psionic boy's head shook violently in the amniotic fluid tank, and psionic energy spread along the pipes to the geometric shapes, causing the shapes to change at a speed that increased dozens of times.

ten minutes later.

"Click, click, click..."

One after another, the amniotic fluid containers cracked open, and the geometric shapes lit up with intense light at the same time.

As the light shifted, the treasure chest rapidly shrank in size.

When the last Psykimboy was defeated, the treasure chest had shrunk to the size of a palm-sized metal cube.

"Clap."

The metal cube opened its top cover by itself.

The surrounding orcs wanted to rush up to see what was inside, but were stopped by the merciless chainsaw swords of the Beast King's personal guards.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

"Back off! This belongs to Boss Urge! Anyone who dares to touch it will be killed!"

The Beast King's personal guards brandished their chainsaw swords, shooing away the orcish brats.

Ulger strode toward the cube, picked it up with his fingertips, turned it upside down, and tried to pour something out of the cube.

Even after shaking it several times, nothing fell out.

Ulger stared wide-eyed as he examined the cube closely.

"Humph…"

Heavy breathing filled the air, an invisible pressure spread, and a surge of anger was brewing.

"Ukrama, can you tell me why it's empty inside!"

Ulger swung his hand forcefully, and the cube slammed down in front of Ukrama.

“Empty…empty? How is this possible…” Ukrama stared in disbelief at the empty cube.

After being smashed by Ulger, the cube was reduced to pieces and scattered on the ground.

Everyone present could clearly see whether there was anything inside the cube.

Throughout the entire process, only Boss Ulger ever touched the cube. Boss Ulger said there was nothing inside, and that meant there was nothing.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Ukrama frantically lay on the ground, rummaging through the cube's fragments:

"This isn't what the prophecy said! After the third seal is broken, we'll obtain a soul device powerful enough to change history! Why isn't it here! Why!!!! This can't be! The prophecy never fails!!!"

Perhaps he was confused with anger, because Ukrama's accent changed, and he actually used "we" instead of "us".

Furthermore, it mentions "prophecy".

Do orcs also believe in "predicting the future"?

Li Nuo has been dealing with the Palus for so long, and he's never seen that Palu kid use the word "prophecy" more than once.

something wrong.

There's a huge problem.

Did this Ukrama study in Eldar? How come he's into talking about "prophecy"?

Li Nuo was secretly puzzled, feeling that something was not right.

Ulger couldn't care less about all that.

I wasted so much time here, and in the end I didn't even get a penny.

The Beast King is furious and needs to vent his anger by using Ukrama's head.

"Go to hell!"

A ten-meter-long broadsword appeared out of nowhere, and with a whoosh, it was thrown out by Ulger, swift as lightning and with astonishing momentum.

Ukrama suddenly came to his senses and miraculously dodged the fatal blow.

With a powerful push of its feet, it launched itself to the side and forward like a cannonball.

The large machete was driven into the floor tile, and cracks spread in all directions.

Before Urg and the Beast King's guards could give chase, "Ukramar" exploded with a deafening roar.

Its colorful feathers fluttered in the wind, spreading outwards with the impact of the explosion, and then bursting into clouds of colorful mist when it collided with the Beast King's guards.

The Beast King's personal guard coughed violently, his steps involuntarily slowing down.

"Ukrama" then shifted its position again, rushing towards the gate like a whirlwind, so fast that even Urg almost couldn't react in time.

"Grab it! Don't let it get away! It's not Ukrama! It's a damn shrimp!"

Urg roared in fury, stomping heavily as he chased after him, shouting things like "Ukrama is a shrimp."

Li Nuo hid behind the curtain, his brows furrowed. After a moment's thought, he followed.

The scene unfolded extremely quickly, yet he saw it all very clearly.

Just as Urg said, "Ukrama" is actually a human.

After removing the colorful feather disguise, his skin, face, and the fillers disguised as muscles also detached from his body, and he quickly transformed into a human wearing a black bodysuit.

Who would dare to disguise themselves as a mad doctor and infiltrate the orc emperor's inner circle?!
How can he be so brave!
Li Nuo quickly found out the answer.

As he fled, the man shouted to Ulgri and the Beast King's guards who were hot on his heels:
“Urg, listen to me carefully. I am an agent of the Cult! We have seen a prophecy of the future: you will defeat the human empire, kill the Emperor, and control the entire galaxy! I am following the guidance of the prophecy, lurking by your side to help you gain power! Think about it carefully, without my guidance, would you have found that great treasure chest?! Would you have been able to gain power from it?!”

So it was a secret sect… Li Nuo's brows furrowed even more.

But then Urg shouted:
"Bullshit! I owe everything I have today to myself! Kill that shrimp! Don't let it take the scroll!!! WAAAAAAAGH——————"
