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

Chapter 87 "System" creates miracles

The arrival of the Imperial Ministry of Justice's judges and arbitrators officially marked the end of the cleanup operation.

After the two-headed man was killed by the melta gun, all the pseudo-descendants who were transformed into plague zombies turned into headless flies.

Before this, the plague zombies could unite and obey the unified command of the two-headed man.

Now, they have lost their backbone and can only wander aimlessly or stand still, waiting to be harvested by humans.

After the judge helped the hunting lords to stabilize the line, he immediately ordered the team to stop.

He was only there to prevent any accidents from happening and had no intention of competing for points with the hunting lords.

Compared to killing the remaining enemies, the Judge is obviously more interested in the treasure trove filled with the atmosphere of alien civilization.

"Look what I see, a historical relic from a long time ago." The judge stood in front of the gate with his hands on his hips, tilted his head and raised his chin towards Osgus:
"Oh, kid, are you in charge here? Do you mind if I go in and take a look?"

"My lord, I am Osgus Vogues (note). The leader of our team is Miss Tido Vogues. She has given me full authority to command the Lord Hunter team."

Osgus put away his arrogance towards his subordinates, came to the judge politely, bowed and said:

"Please do as you please, my Lord. Any location in our hive is always open to the Imperial Adeptus Arbitrius."

The judge smiled and walked into the stone gate:

"As expected of a descendant of the Governor's family, you are more measured in your words than the Lewei family. Okay, you continue to command and find someone to lead the way for me."

"Yes, sir." Osgus turned around and looked at Li Nuo and the other two, waving his hand expressionlessly, "Come here and lead the way for the judge."

"Yes, sir." The three responded in unison.

Mona was the most experienced and cautious, so she took the lead, with Li Nuo and Wick following behind her.

"Sir, come this way. I will briefly introduce the information we have so far. The treasure house we are in is similar to a historical museum, which displays collections from different eras. Among the collections that have been discovered so far, the oldest ones may be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago..."

Mona acted as a temporary tour guide, leading the judges and arbitrators around the lighted area.

The Judge comes from Terra, the capital of the human empire, and his knowledge reserves are more than twice as rich as those of the hive people.

Just a quick glance and he was sure that the many antiques here would drive the oil man completely crazy.

But that’s not the point of this trip.

Catching heretics, punishing heretics, and eradicating heretics are the responsibilities of the Imperial Law Department.

The judge folded his arms and asked:
"Have you found the biochemical transformation data of the Hehe Cult?"

"Sir, we have not found anything in this regard yet." Mona raised her hand and pointed to the dark area without lights. "The information you need may be in that dim area."

The Judge snapped his fingers. "Launch the flares. We should hurry up and search the area before the oil men from the Hive Monastery arrive."

"Yes, sir."

The Arbitrators spread out, firing flares into the dark areas.

A figure was dragged out from the darkness by the strong light and hid to the side in embarrassment.

"Who!" the Judge shouted loudly, raising his melta gun and aiming at the figure.

"Oh!" The person uttered a delicate cry, covered his chest and hid behind the shelf, leaving only a delicate and charming face exposed.

"My Lord, I am Ruth Bruton. I am here to adjust my clothing..."

Ruth's face was flushed with panic and shyness, and her watery eyes were flashing with grievance.

Anyone who sees her pitiful appearance will feel pity for her.

"Oh, beautiful Miss Ruth, we were reckless. Please do as you please." The judge grinned and ordered his men to put down their guns and let the other party leave safely.

When Ruth walked away, the judge said coldly:
"Search carefully and find out what that woman was doing here just now."

"As you command, sir."

The arbitrator held the scanner in his hand and emitted a red beam of light towards the place where Ruth passed, collecting the pheromones left by the other party in the air.

While the arbitrator was tracking Ruth, the judge crossed his arms and said to Li Nuo and the other two:

"Tell me the truth. Did you take anything from here? Tell me the truth. You only have one chance."

The three of them held their breath, looked at each other, made a wise choice, and took things out of their armor.

The judge checked the small items in the hands of the three people one by one and asked casually:
"There are only three of you, why did you take four things?"

Mona replied:

"Sir, we sacrificed a companion. He liked machinery, so we picked him an old antique made of metal."

"Okay, I understand how you feel. However, I still need to confirm your movements after entering here, so that I won't become a fool who is fooled."

The judge snapped his fingers a few times and asked his men to come over and collect the pheromones of Li Nuo and the other two and track their movements in the treasure house.

Pheromones!
The judge and the arbitrator actually have devices for tracking pheromones!
It was the first time that Li Nuo knew about the existence of such a thing.

As expected of a judge from Terra, he has many different types of equipment.

Without time to feel emotional, Li Nuo was extremely anxious, his heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of his chest.

Dense beads of sweat oozed out of his back, soaking the entire back of his armor.

It would be terrible if the judge found out that he had been to a place he shouldn’t have been!

Stay calm, stay calm, think of a solution quickly. It is impossible to solve the problem by being panicked.

Li Nuo thought of several excuses in a flash.

But the weird thing is:
After the arbitrator obtained Li Nuo's pheromones, he did not follow the scanner's tracking signal to the place where the orc spores were placed. Instead, he turned around within the range of the searchlights set up by the cultists, and then returned to the judge.

"Report, sir, Kang Wen's path is fine."

"Report, sir, there is no problem with the paths of Wick and Mona."

The judge nodded with satisfaction:

"Very good, the three of you are quite sensible. You didn't take anything you shouldn't have, and you didn't lie to me. I like your honesty. I noticed your heroic performance in the battle just now. Your courage to resist the atrocities of the heretics deserves praise. Keep the things in your hands. This is my encouragement to you, and it will also become a little secret between us."

"Thank you, sir!" Wick responded loudly and excitedly, first bowing 90 degrees to salute, then standing up straight and performing the Sky Eagle salute.

Li Nuo and Mona Bewick remained calm and did not salute randomly, but they also fully expressed their gratitude to the judge.

The changes in Li Nuo's heart are far more drastic than what they appear on the surface. It is no exaggeration to describe it as a storm.

Why didn't his his his his pheromones spread to the cans containing the orc spores?
What's going on here?
Could it be that the system secretly modified the distribution range of pheromones to cover itself?

Oh my god.

If there is an event to select the top ten systems of the year, I will definitely vote for [Mushroom Farm]!
An arbitrator came running with something pink:

"Report, sir. Ruth Bruton left nothing here. She forgot a handkerchief, though."

The judge waved his hand and said, "Send it to that girl."

"Huh? Should I go and deliver it?" The arbitrator was embarrassed.

The judge joked, "Why don't you just keep it yourself."

A burst of laughter broke out in the team.

The Arbitrator sighed, covering his mask, hiding the pink thing in his fist, and walked helplessly towards Ruth who was treating the wounded.

This incident did not interrupt the search.

Li Nuo and the other two followed the judge to check the treasures in the treasury one by one.

Soon, they came to the place where the orc spores were originally stored.

Unexpectedly, an expected scene occurred. Some small fossils appeared in the glass jar that Li Nuo had emptied.

The judge didn't notice anything wrong. He just looked at the fossil and moved on to the next collection.

Li Nuo just felt incredible.

Tampering with the pheromone track is already awesome.

But the system can actually create things remotely to help itself plug the loopholes!
It's unbelievable, it's a miracle!

"Report, sir. We seem to have found the original biochemical data of the Reconciliation Cult." The arbitrator did not finish his words and glanced at the three agents.

The judge understood and patted Wick on the shoulder:

"Okay, the three of you go, there's nothing for you to do here."

"Yes, sir." Li Nuo and his group said goodbye.

The Judge and the Arbitrator walked quickly to the corner of the treasury.

Wick patted his chest and panted, "I was scared to death. When the judge asked us if we had anything, I almost thought I was going to be shot."

Mona snorted in dissatisfaction, "Don't come up with such bad ideas next time."

"Blame me, blame me. When we get back to the upper nest, I'll treat you to dinner." Wick chuckled and let the matter go.

The three returned to the front line and cooperated with the hunting lord, retainers and bailiffs to clear out the remaining enemies.

A moment later, the rest of the hunting team arrived at the scene one after another.

These hunting lord teams came here via the normal route, and therefore carried heavy weapons platforms.

The squad has all kinds of heavy weapons, including twin laser cannons, twin automatic cannons, and quadruple heavy logging guns.

When they arrived at the scene and saw that the headquarters of the Mihe Cult had been wiped out, they were so angry that their faces almost turned green.

Osgus went up to meet them, and boasted about his own achievements with a laugh, completely forgetting the embarrassing moment he almost peed his pants from fright earlier.

However, no matter how much he showed off, he really didn't have much ammunition left.

Following the principle of focusing on the big and letting go of the small, Osgus decisively handed over the subsequent combat work to the hunting team that still had sufficient ammunition, and he led his men into the treasury to count the harvest.

According to the rules of the hive city's aristocratic circle, the things in the treasury will first be kept by the Fuges family in the name of the governor. After the hunting lords' score rankings are announced, the spoils will be distributed according to the ranking.

In the following period, more and more hunting teams gathered in the bottom nest, and the cleanup operation officially shifted from the decapitation stage to a full-scale promotion.

Li Nuo and other Governor's agents also received support from other Governor's guards. Both sides guarded the treasury together to prevent the treasures from being stolen.

After eight days and seven nights, the enemy was basically wiped out, with only scattered enemies remaining in various places in the bottom nest.

The priests of the Mechanical Monastery entered the scene to repair the bottom nest equipment damaged by the battle and to recover the technological heresy data in the hands of the Reconciliation Cult.

The chemical defense force of the Pharmacists Association came to eliminate the pathogenic strain.

People today lack effective means to fight against Chaos corruption and can only follow the theoretical guidance of the Imperial Truth and remove diseased body parts on the spot.

As a result, many armed retainers lost large muscles and even important bones, and instead used artificial prosthetic limbs to replace them.

Li Nuo and his two companions retrieved Tarenso's body.

The body was cremated by the chemical defense team, leaving only black remains without pathogenic strains.

Li Nuo and the other two packed up the wreckage and prepared to take it back to the base. Delton placed it in the cemetery of the upper nest and buried it together with the old metal objects.

The ghost mushrooms in the bottom nest are also one of the harvests of the cleanup operation.

However, the distribution of ghost mushrooms is not based on the hunting lord's score.

The Hive City will hold a grand auction to distribute the ownership of each ghost mushroom through on-site bidding.

It is said that the participants of the auction house are not limited to the nobles of the hive city, but also wandering merchants and representatives from other imperial worlds.

Based on the principle of taking something for free, Li Nuo secretly stored a large amount of ghost fungus hyphae while cleaning the bottom nest.

The analysis panel of this object is the same as other psychic fungi, and its growth and development depend on the energy of the subspace.

Until props that can generate subspace energy are obtained, the system is temporarily unable to provide subspace energy during the simulation process.

Therefore, if Li Nuo wants to cultivate his own ghost mushrooms, he must first find an absolutely safe place to serve as a plantation.

There is no rush for this matter, you can plan it slowly to avoid making mistakes.

It was the afternoon of the eighth day after the cleanup operation began.

When the last enemy was killed and the pathogenic strains in the bottom nest were completely purified, the cleanup operation was officially declared over and all teams returned along their original routes.

The Howling Channel lost its hallucinogenic effect at some point, and the patterns on its surface oxidized and fell off in a short period of time, and the patterns resembling those of human coccyx were no longer visible.

Just before everyone was about to set off for return, Tido Vogues, who had been missing for a long time, showed up.

She ignored everyone, just walked through the crowd and got on her own armored vehicle.

When she stepped on the top step and was about to step into the car door, she stopped and slowly turned around.

The blood suppression from the Governor's family made the scene silent. Everyone kept silent spontaneously and bowed their heads to Tido.

Osgus took a few steps forward and looked up at Tido who was standing high up:

"Respected Governor's eldest daughter, future leader of the Vorges family, rising star of the hive city. I think you have seen the overall situation in the dark and have seen the performance of each of us. I beg you to give me your instructions. Are you satisfied with our work?"

Seeing the big picture from the dark?

What do you mean?
Didn’t Tido turn on the invisible mode to hide?
Li Nuo suddenly realized that he seemed to be wrong.

Tido chose to remain invisible, probably not to avoid fighting, but to observe each of her subordinates and each of her subordinates' subordinates from a bystander's perspective.

A strong premonition emerged in Li Nuo's heart.

He looked across the crowd in the direction of Tido, just in time to see an intriguing smile blooming at the corner of Tido's mouth.

This was the first time Tido's expression changed since she joined the cleanup operation.

"No matter whether you belong to the Vorges family or not, none of you have tarnished the reputation of the Epimet aristocracy. I recognize the performance of each and every one of you."

The gentle and pleasant tone of voice and the friendly and gratified smile, these two combined together, caused the hunting lord and his retainers to cheer in unison.

Osgus was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and he respectfully escorted Tido into the car.

Tido's simple comment represents a wave of generous rewards to come.

The gloom brought by the battle casualties was swept away, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Li Nuo stared in the direction of Tido and fell into deep thought.

The upper half of Tido's face was covered by goggles, so others couldn't see her eyes.

But he didn't know if it was an illusion or he was too narcissistic, but Li Nuo always felt that Tido had just looked at him.

It was at this glance that Tido revealed a meaningful smile.

This made Li Nuo have an unfounded guess for no reason:
Could it be Tido who tampered with her pheromones and put small fossils in the empty jar?

what?
If it really were her, what would she want?
Li Nuo thought for a few seconds and gave up the idea of exploring.

He now had only one thought in his mind, which was to go back quickly and try the magic spores!
...

Note:
When communicating with people outside the family, members of the branch will hide the middle name representing the branch. This is a tradition of the Western medieval aristocracy in reality.

The official Warhammer novels don't describe this aspect much, so the author directly wrote it based on the real aristocratic tradition.
