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

Chapter 42 Agent Base

Mona?

Nice name, not sure if it's a real name.

Li Nuo raised his eyes and saw Mona's face, and sighed in his heart.

It's a good name indeed, but it's a pity that it has been ruined.

Mona's left eye and the left half of her forehead seemed to have been corroded by strong acid. The surface was covered with centipede-like twisted lines and appeared dark red.

Apart from this area, the rest of her face was intact, her skin was smooth and bright, with no wrinkles or wounds.

If Mona covered the skin near her left eye with her hair or an eye patch, she would definitely be considered a beauty.

But she didn't do that, nor did she use surgery to repair the disfigurement.

Li Nuo nodded secretly, guessing that the disfigured area had a special meaning to Mona, so she would keep it without any concealment.

"Hello, Mona, I'm Kang Wen."

"Hello."

Mona responded coldly, there was no emotion in her brown eyes, her lips were as thin as paper, and she exuded an aura of "keep away from strangers".

Delton patted Li Nuo on the shoulder:
"Mona will guide you through the induction process for trainee agents. She will also explain to you the plan for hunting down the father. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."

"Goodbye, sir." Li Nuo said goodbye simply.

Mona performed the Sky Eagle Salute again and watched Delton leave.

As the footsteps faded away, Mona turned and walked into the underground passage behind the door, "Follow me, don't fall behind."

Li Nuo followed closely behind, and the gate closed automatically.

The two walked forward, one in front and one behind, without saying a word.

There are numerous traps in the underground passage. Every time you walk a certain distance, you will encounter a gate that checks your iris, voiceprint, and data pad permissions.

After turning several right-angle turns, Li Nuo arrived at the finish line.

The architectural layout of the base is similar to the shape of a Chinese character “回”.

In the middle is an artificial garden, located on the fifth underground floor of the base, and the garden is surrounded by semi-open corridors and stairs.

When entering the base from the ground, you will arrive at the base's underground floor.

At this time, if you look down from the corridor fence, you can see the bushes and flower beds of the artificial garden.

A mechanical priest, surrounded by two servo skulls, is pruning branches in an artificial garden.

After noticing the gaze from above, he raised his head and scanned Li Nuo with his prosthetic eye, then raised a servo arm and waved it a few times, as if to say hello.

Mona said aside:
"That's Tutkari, a mechanical priest of the special agent team. He has a double degree in communication mechanical monk and engineering master, and is currently writing his graduation thesis as a geneticist. His thesis topic is the biochemical transformation technology in the hands of the bridging sect."

Promotion in the Mechanicus is related to degree certificates. The more certificates one has, the higher one's status.

Generally speaking, a mechanical priest who masters three disciplines can be called a sage, and one who specializes in one of them and has outstanding achievements is an expert in that discipline.

There are few experts but many sages.

There is no difference in status between sages and experts, and they are all worthy of respect.

Tutkari follows the sage route, which is also the path chosen by most talented mechanical priests.

"Come with me, let's go down."

Mona used the data pad to activate the vertical elevator and took Li Nuo to the artificial garden on the fifth floor underground.

There are many different types of plants in the garden, and many of them are sealed in culture pots, enjoying carefully adjusted light and humidity.

Li Nuo cast identification spells as he walked and found that most of the plants here came from other places and were not local species in the eighth district of the Lower Nest.

"Hello, Kangwen." Tutkari came to Li Nuo in a standard electronic voice.

He transcribed the binary data into Low Gothic and uttered it through the throat that had been transformed into a sound array device:

"Your identity information has been recorded and registered as ///Trustworthy Personnel//Trainee Agent//Rookie. The following permissions are granted to you ///Chat for 5 minutes per day ///Free consultation 3 times per day ///Free repair 1 time per day ///There is no limit on the time and number of times for the above items when paying. Please provide a reply ///Voice//Gesture//Text are both acceptable."

Li Nuo tried to understand what Tutkari meant and nodded. "Yes, I understand. I can chat with you for 5 minutes every day, provide free consultation 3 times, and repair your car for free once. If I am willing to pay, there will be no time limit or frequency limit for these projects. Is that right?"

"Correct answer = normal intelligence = Commander Delton's assessment of you is trustworthy. Glory // Eternal glory to the Vorges family. Farewell."

Tutkari turned away and continued to trim the flowers. His natural arms were replaced by prosthetic limbs, and there was a servo arm behind him. His back was bulging high, like an old man carrying a tortoise shell.

Like other Mechanic Priests, Tutkari wears a red robe to cover his body that has undergone multiple rounds of mechanization.

Mona pointed to the entrance of the corridor next to her and said, "Come with me. I'll take you to sign in."

Li Nuo and the other person left the garden and arrived at a room where a meditator and a conference table were placed.

Mona taught Li Nuo how to use the Thinker and introduced the situation in the base.

Lord Fuges has nine guards, seven of which are stationed in the Upper Nest area to provide all-round protection for Fuges.

The Eighth Guard supervises the battle in the Planetary Defense Force.

The Ninth Guard is a special agent team responsible for monitoring the Middle Nest and the Lower Nest.

Delton is the commander of the special forces team and reports directly to the Governor.

The total number of agents is unknown, but they are mainly distributed in various areas of the Middle and Lower Nests.

Right now, this base is where the agents stay in the lower nest.

When the agent arrives, he must first complete the sign-in work and then submit his time report for the past period of time.

Only after completing these two steps can the agents enjoy free food and accommodation in the base.

It is up to Delton to decide how long an agent can rest in the base and when he must leave.

Delton will issue formal mission instructions to the agents through the Thinkers, requiring the agents to complete the tasks within a deadline and report to the designated location.

After Li Nuo completed the sign-in, a task list appeared on his data pad, the content of which was to capture the father body of the eighth district alive.

Information related to the mission also appeared on the data pad.

So far, it has only been confirmed that at least one parent body is hiding in the Eighth District disguised as a civilian, but the exact number and location of the parent bodies cannot be determined.

The mission started while Li Nuo was in a coma, and there were 19 days left before the deadline.

All we need to do is capture one of the fathers alive and report to the Governor.

There are eight agents on this mission.

Except for Mona and himself in front of him, the other six people were on duty outside and were not in the base.

Additionally, the data board is connected to the database of the Hive City Law Enforcement Department.

If law enforcement officers discover any trace of the parent, they will immediately transmit the coordinates to the database, which will then be synchronized with the agent's data board.

With the joint efforts of agents and law enforcement officers, it should not be difficult to find the father. Whether he can be captured alive depends on the level of the agents.

Li Nuo was thinking whether he should go to look for his father's whereabouts right now and spend some money with his bonus in advance.

But Mona took him to the training room and undressed him.

"You just completed the genetic modification not long ago. You need to adapt to the strength of your body as soon as possible."

Mona threw the dark blue Planetary Defense Force uniform onto the hanger, put on a military green tough girl vest, tied her long hair with a rubber band, and took out two sharpened broadswords.

Li Nuo looked at the cold light on the sword blade and couldn't help swallowing his saliva:
"Uh... do you want to help me adapt to my modified body during the confrontation? There's no need to use real swords, right? Will someone get killed?"

Mengna threw the broadsword in her left hand towards Li Nuo and said coldly:

"If you're afraid of death, don't do this job."

Okay, this is a provocation, I understand... Li Nuo held the broadsword and weighed it in his hand.

His strength increased a lot, and the broadsword became as light as a toothpick. Li Nuo felt more confident.

He met Mona's gaze and nodded:

"Then let's give it a try. I also want to know how strong my current body is."

Mengna rushed forward with sword in hand:

"Don't hold back. Let me see your limits."
