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

Chapter 27: No Heat, No Joy
After leaving the factory gate, Li Nuo was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back.

After the booster injection, it should be time for dinner.

But the scene was a mess and Robnos was angry, so the free dinner was naturally gone.

Li Nuo held his rumbling stomach and prepared to eat some milk mushrooms to relieve his hunger when he got home.

Eh? Wait?

What is the name of the fungal ability of milk mushrooms?

It seems like a way to satisfy hunger.

It sounds like a skill that can fill your stomach.

Li Nuo opened the interface and found the panel of hunger-filling technique to check it out.

[Name: Hunger-Saving Technique]

[Unlock requirement: 1 skill point. ]

【Related fungi: milk mushroom. 】

【Effect: Consume a certain amount of milk mushrooms and use pure water, carbohydrates and protein to satisfy hunger for a specified target. The more you consume, the better the effect of satisfying hunger. 】

[Currently available skill points: 2]

[Do you want to unlock this fungus' ability? ]

It took 1 skill point to unlock Brain Stiffness, and I gained 1 after completing the injection today. As a result, the number of skill points remains at 2.

Li Nuo thought about it, silently said "unlock", selected 500 grams of milk mushrooms in the fungus warehouse, and used the hunger-filling technique on himself.

Almost instantly, the feeling of hunger subsided significantly.

What a great ability.

It skips the eating process and converts the food into nutrients and stuffs them into the stomach.

So is it possible to use hunger-filling techniques to starve the enemy to death?

Li Nuo's eyes lit up slightly and his mind was full of ideas.

"Hey, Li Nuo, wait for me."

The sound of hurried footsteps came from afar and quickly approached Li Nuo.

It's Amy.

She came running over, her cheeks slightly red, her breathing rapid, "Did a monster appear in your place?"

Li Nuo stopped and raised his eyebrows, "How do you know?"

Amy held her chest and calmed the breath in her chest:
"As soon as the monster appeared, the alarm sounded in the laboratory. At that time, I and a few other people were working overtime to take care of the mushrooms. The supervisor told us that there was a small problem in your collection department. Borg had already gone to deal with it, so we didn't need to panic. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Li Nuo smiled. "The monster was burned to death by Borg and his men. It's strange to say, why would a monster appear out of nowhere?"

Amy looked around and lowered her voice:

"It is said that if the concentration of ghost potion exceeds the critical value, the injector will mutate and grow deformed tumors or extra organs. Do you think monsters also appear because of mutations?"

"Mutation? Okay, that's a possibility." Li Nuo muttered back.

For the Kram family who were researching ghost potions, without knowing about the subspace, using "mutation" to explain it was a bit far-fetched, but it could still be explained away.

Li Nuo was speechless.

He had no intention of informing the Crumb family of the existence of the Warp, nor did he intend to warn those studying the ghost fungus.

Only those who do not understand the subspace will reveal the true situation of the subspace.

Li Nuo now just wants to get through the training phase and transfer to the experimental department safely and securely without any complications.

The two walked and talked, and the topic turned to the cocktail mushrooms that Amy was growing.

This fungus looks like a "goblet".

There is some pink paste in the "wine glass", which is its mycelium.

Separating the mycelium and applying it to the wound can sterilize and disinfect the wound and promote wound healing.

Medical gels and tablets made with cocktail bacteria also have the effect of promoting wound healing.

"Why do I feel that the effect of the cocktail fungus is similar to the psychic power awakened by the ghost potion?"

Li Nuo couldn't help but ask.

Amy tapped her chin:

"That's natural. You didn't know that, did you? The ghost potion you injected was the latest model, which contained a cocktail of bacteria. Therefore, the psychic powers of artificial psychics must be related to the self-healing ability."

"Oh, that's how it is. I was wondering why the two consecutive successful cases were both psychic powers that enhanced self-healing abilities."

Li Nuo suddenly realized and prepared to go back to study cocktail bacteria.

If its bacterial ability could be used as a life-saving trump card, Li Nuo would not mind staying up all night again to tame the cocktail fungus. The two walked and talked around the cocktail fungus, and parted ways at the intersection.

On the way back, Li Nuo bought some materials for growing stupid mushrooms.

It turns out that brain freeze techniques are very effective in combating hallucinations.

In that case, let’s increase our efforts and store up 100 kilograms of stupid mushrooms first.

Arriving home, Li Nuo put down the things in his hands and first completed the work of cultivating stupid mushrooms, and then activated the cocktail bacteria to analyze the fungal functions.

【Name：Cocktail Bacteria】

【Analysis results:】

[A wild fungus that grows near radioactive waste and is highly dependent on high temperatures for growth and reproduction.]

[It is free of bacterial contamination and toxicity, but contains certain radioactive substances. Its spores and hyphae can be processed into medicine for healing wounds after purification.]

Li Nuo secretly praised Miss Laya for her attentiveness.

The samples brought by the other party were processed in a certain way to reduce the concentration of radioactive substances in the cocktail bacteria to a safe range.

Otherwise, a normal person like me would definitely get infected accidentally and suffer slight mutations.

Continuing to read, Li Nuo's eyes fell on the [Bacteria Ability] column.

[Bacteria ability: healing]

[Unlocking requirement: 100 skill points. Reduced to 1 after taming.]

[Effect: Consume a number of domesticated cocktail bacteria to greatly improve the target's self-healing ability and quickly treat injuries. The treatment effect is related to the target's own cell activity. ]

[Just remove the radioactive substances on the wild cocktail mushrooms to complete the domestication. 】

It's great that bacterial ability is really related to treatment.

If you get injured in the future, you can save a lot of money on purchasing medical services.

As for how to remove radioactive materials, Li Nuo knew the answer.

When I was chatting with Amy before, she took the initiative to mention the details in this regard.

The radioactive substances in wild cocktail mushrooms are some metal ions.

By soaking the mycelium of cocktail bacteria in a special chelating agent, the radioactive metal ions can be removed.

Amy didn't say what the chelating agent was.

But this does not pose a problem for Li Nuo.

When the water industry treats industrial wastewater, it will definitely use chelating agents. You can buy some yourself to try the effect first.

Li Nuo dug out the ration cards from under the bed and stuffed a handful into his pocket.

With the heartache that only poor people can feel, he pushed the door open and went to the counter of the Water Guild.

Hard work pays off.

It was midnight of that day.

After successively changing five different chelating agents, Li Nuo finally found a chelating agent that can remove radioactive substances without harming the mycelium.

Another half an hour later, he found a method to cultivate cocktail bacteria without using radioactive waste as culture medium.

This method was so bizarre that it once made Li Nuo think that the world had become hopelessly insane.

Don’t wild cocktail mushrooms grow near radioactive waste?
After repeated simulations, Li Nuo confirmed that radioactive waste can be replaced by heat sources.

Place the cocktail bacteria in a heat-resistant glass container and heat it continuously with the flame of a promethium lamp.

In this way, after six hours of high-temperature baking in the simulation experiment, the cocktail bacteria actually developed successfully?!

What's up with all the fungi in this Warhammer world?

In front is the water poccocus bacteria that can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and in the back is the cocktail bacteria that cannot live without heat.

Will there be fungi next time that can only grow when subjected to electric shock?

"Forget it, I'm tired, let's destroy it, this world is insane and hopeless..."

Li Nuo cultivated ten kilograms of domesticated cocktail fungi, stuffed them into the fungus warehouse, and fell asleep.

The matter of unlocking the healing skill can be put aside for now.

Currently only has 1 skill point.

After the injection is completed tomorrow and the number of skill points is increased to 2, it will not be too late to unlock the healing skill.

This way you can ensure that you always have skill points available and avoid being stretched at critical moments.
