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

Chapter 40 Aristocratic Tradition

The lift came to a stop, and Delton led Li Nuo into the corridor:
“At the recent meeting of nobles, our Excellency the Governor made two decisions.

"First, suspend all collection, research, and production work related to ghost mushrooms until the Hehe Cult is completely destroyed."

Suspend work on ghost mushrooms?
Then can I still gain new skill points in a short period of time?
Fortunately, there are still ten skill points available.

Li Nuo thought secretly.

Delton continued:

"The second decision of the Governor General is related to the major families. Once the hunting teams of the various families have been assembled, the crusade against the Reconciliation Cult will officially begin. At that time, we will also clean up the illegal forces, mutants, and aliens in the ruins area."

"Sir, what is a hunting lord?"

"The Hunting Lord is a distinguished status passed down from the Golden Age..."

Delton tells the common sense about "hunting the lord".

Simply put, the hunting lord is a young noble descendant who hunts powerful enemies in the bottom nest.

The young masters and young ladies from the major families carry the most sophisticated weapons and equipment of the family, hunt powerful enemies in the bottom nest, accumulate personal prestige, and obtain more family resources.

Whenever a large number of aristocratic descendants become hunting nobles, the order of succession within the family will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Those young noble descendants who kill the most enemies and are the most courageous will often have a higher inheritance order and control more family businesses.

Don't ever think that becoming a noble descendant of a hunting lord is courting death.

In fact, most hive families possess high-tech equipment passed down from the Golden Age.

A young noble scion armed to the teeth, capable of fighting as a Space Marine, and accompanied by a large number of armed retainers.

The weapons and equipment of the armed retainers are not bad either, usually armor made of ceramic steel particles and automatic guns.

In short, the Council of Nobles decided to use the traditional means of the nobility to wipe out the Mihe Church in an open and aboveboard manner in order to wash away the shame on themselves.

Seeing that Li Nuo was interested in black technology, Delton gave a few examples.

For example, armor that can automatically repair damage and requires no maintenance.

Some of them also have built-in automated equipment for circulating nutrient production.

There are many more equipment like this.

The campaign to eliminate the Mihe Sect is more like a black technology show by the wealthy and powerful families than hunting down powerful enemies.

Li Nuo made no comment on this. As long as the nobles were happy, he was happy. However, he was excited about the high-tech equipment used by the hunting lords.

"We're here." Delton stopped on the floor of the experimental department:

"Li Nuo, you helped the Kram family stop the corruption of the cultists and preserved the Kram family's reputation. The Kram family owes you a favor. Lord Kram authorized Isabel to discuss the reward with you. You can choose a reward plan according to your preference."

"Okay, sir."

The robot servant opened the door of the experimental department from the inside and invited the two people outside to follow him to the supervisor's office.

Li Nuo looked around curiously and found that the layout of the experimental department was very similar to what he had imagined.

The necessary experimental operation area, instrument and equipment area, sample processing and storage area, washing and disinfection area, office area and rest area for a biological laboratory are all available here.

There are also rooms for various purposes.

Just find a room, stare at the equipment inside, and use the identification spell, Li Nuo will get the prompt message [This item can upgrade system functions].

Walking in here, it feels like being home, as everywhere is filled with instruments and equipment that you urgently need.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and upgrading system functions is the key to becoming bigger and stronger.

Li Nuo decided to get himself a set of equipment related to microbial research as soon as possible, as well as a batch of consumables needed for cultivating fungi.

In this way, his individual strength will be greatly improved and his personal safety will be guaranteed.

It's really strange.

Most other time travelers rely on taking pills to improve their strength, but I am different. The way I improve my strength is to grow mushrooms.

It would be great if the Kram family could give me a set of high-tech equipment.

Planting mushrooms to climb the technology level is not as fast as directly putting on the magical equipment from the Novice Village.

Li Nuo's mind wavered, but he immediately gave up the idea. Delton had mentioned before that although black technology equipment was more common among wealthy and prestigious families, they all had owners and could not be given to outsiders.

It would be sheer wishful thinking to get a set of this kind of equipment from the Kram family.

"Eh? Dad, why are you here?"

Amy turned the corner with the tray and was confronted by her father and a familiar-looking man.

Amy looked at her father in confusion, then shifted her gaze to the figure next to him.

She stared at the familiar face for a few seconds, her eyes gradually widened, and she covered her mouth in surprise:

"You are... Li Nuo? Where have you been for so many days? How did you grow so tall all of a sudden?"

Li Nuo lowered his head and looked at Amy, who was only as tall as his shoulders.

Amy's height should be over 1.6 meters. In comparison, my current height should be over 1.8 meters.

No wonder Amy has become so small, she looks like a delicate and cute figurine.

Li Nuo smiled and said hello:
"It's me. You can ask your father for details."

"Dad? What's going on?"

Amy's eyes moved between her father and Li Nuo.

"Amy, I'll talk to you after we get home. I'll take Li Nuo to do some business first."

Delton touched Amy's head and led Li Nuo around her and into the supervisor's office not far away.

Amy stood there for a few seconds, then scratched her head and left.

...

In the office of the director of the experimental department.

The Thinker Array was ticking, with the standlights on the various instruments providing light, and volumes of documents were placed on the bookshelves along the wall.

This is where the female executive works and thinks.

If there were some servoskulls floating around, it would be like a Mechanic Priest's workshop.

Here, Li Nuo met Isabel Crum, whose name he had heard of for a long time.

The lady tied her long black hair behind her head, revealing her white neck.

She has full lips, a straight and small nose, and wears glasses with oval frames. Although she is wearing a white coat, her maturity and beauty cannot be concealed.

After seeing Li Nuo, Isabel thanked him with gratitude.

"The information you asked Amy to pass on helped me a lot. Rob North created dozens of monsters in the morgue. If it hadn't been discovered in time, my department would most likely have suffered losses."

Li Nuo smiled modestly:

"I didn't expect that my exposure of Robnos would cause such a big stir. In fact, I just wanted to save myself at the time and didn't think too much about it. It was more like a gamble."

This is what Li Nuo really thinks.

The situation was extremely urgent at the time, and he had no time to take the overall situation into consideration and think deeply about the reactions of all parties to the Robnos incident.

Fortunately, the final result was not bad.

Having the support of the Hive Governor is definitely more promising than relying on the Kram family.

As for one's own secrets being known to outsiders.

If this incident happened in the 40k era, the Inquisition would definitely investigate it thoroughly.

But at this time, the empire doesn't even have a state religion. As long as the governor is willing to take responsibility, no one will conduct an in-depth investigation into an agent who has the governor's endorsement.

In short, although there are hidden dangers, the problem is not serious.

"Please take a seat, both of you. Regarding the reward for the Kram family, I have prepared the following plans. You may want to listen to them first..."

PS: The settings related to "Hunter Lord" are from the official website, you can find them by searching. It is not as unpopular as "Ghost Mushroom", so the author will not post the settings in this chapter.
