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

Chapter 94: I am in the Orc Clan and I just want to grow mushrooms
Spend 1 point to save the chance for Mad Doctor Zack to possess you.

It only takes 1 Magic Spore to possess the Mad Doctor again.

The newly emerged reward options were exactly what Li Nuo wanted.

He was just thinking about how to settle Sack.

This is a mad doctor character who can learn witchcraft. He must be cultivated over a long period of time and possessed from time to time. He must not be allowed to die easily.

Now that the problem of Antonsak has been solved, Li Nuo feels relieved and silently says "save the character" in his heart.

[You spend 1 simulation point to create a simulation character profile for Mad Doctor Sack.]

【This character will be automatically saved when you end the simulation. 】

[If the character dies, the character file will become invalid and the simulation points will not be refunded. ]

[Do you want to end this simulation? ]

No, not yet, I still need to investigate the orcs.

In addition, I am very curious whether there are some other fungi besides orc spores in the place where orcs live.

Li Nuo closed the system interface while thinking.

Aaron was very satisfied with his steel left head and immediately arranged for Zarg to take two strong orcs to help the mad doctor carry the luggage.

Li Nuo boarded the four-wheeled transport vehicle of the Gangbizi clan.

This is a high-powered convertible with an outboard engine and a thick exhaust pipe. It is painted red, looks very cool, and drives as fast as lightning.

After a while, all the things belonging to Mad Doctor Sack were moved to the territory of the Steel Coin Clan.

This included the shack.

The efficiency of this move is simply terrifying.

In order to reward Lino, Ailon set aside a piece of land for him to use, and all the belongings of the former mad doctor were also handed over to him.

When everything was almost arranged, Aaron picked up Zarg like a chicken and placed him in front of Li Nuo:

"Zarge, listen to me. From today on, you are the mad doctor's personal bodyguard. You have to do whatever he tells you to do. If he loses even a hair, I will beat your ass to pieces!"

"Boss, he has no hair to begin with." Zarge whispered.

"What are you saying? I can't hear you."

Aaron glared at him, and Zarg shrank his neck in fear.

"I say! Boss, don't worry! With me here, Sack can even sleep with his butt exposed! I guarantee that no one can sneak attack him! ... Uh, except Brother Mao!"

Zarg's loud cry satisfied Ailon.

Ailon smiled brightly at Li Nuo, baring his teeth and saying:

"Just order him around, don't be polite to me, tell him what you want."

"Okay, boss." Li Nuo watched the iron tower-like orc leader leave. The other's feet were bigger than his face and were covered with thick iron sheets, making clanging sounds when he walked.

Li Nuo snapped his fingers at Zarg, and walked towards the open space with his pig-like fat Squig:

"Zarge, help me fence this field and build a low shed. I want to plant something in it."

"Yeah, I can do it right away." Zarge picked up a few steel pipes from the roadside, carried them on his shoulders, and thrust them into the ground with force, using them as load-bearing columns for the shed.

Ten minutes later, the shed with walls, roof, front door and windows was built.

Apart from looking a little old, Li Nuo couldn't find any other faults.

"Zarge, go and help me collect some fungi. Every kind of fungi you can see, a little bit of each."

Zarge scratched his head. "I don't understand. What is fungus?"

Li Nuo rummaged in his trouser pocket and took out two things.

One is milk mushroom and the other is dehydrated dry yeast.

"To put it simply, mushrooms are fungi, which is easy to understand. The powder in my right hand may also be fungi. In short, if you see mushrooms and powder, just grab a handful and bring it back to me, you can't go wrong."

"Yeah, I think I understand." Zarge shook his head as if he understood, and quickly walked away muttering words like "mushroom" and "pink".

Li Nuo walked into the shed, squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil.

Feeling the greasy touch of the soil, Li Nuo nodded with a smile.

It would be a shame not to use such a geologically fertile piece of land to grow something.

With a thought, a handful of ghost mushroom mycelium appeared in his hand.

This psychic fungus relies on Warp energy to grow and reproduce.

The system's simulated space is temporarily unable to provide subspace energy, so the cultivation of ghost mushrooms needs to be carried out outside.

Li Nuo has always wanted to find a safe and secret place to grow ghost mushrooms, and the field in front of him is perfect.

Planting ghost mushrooms here will definitely not be discovered by the people of Epimet's nest, which will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.

Li Nuo tied Squig to the door to guard the house, and personally picked up the hoe to loosen the soil.

While loosening the soil, he caught a glimpse of the only seven magical spores left in the fungus warehouse, and couldn't help but feel worried.

After growing the ghost mushroom mycelium, you have to cultivate the magical spores as soon as possible.

At this moment, Li Nuo subconsciously entered a state of thinking.

System text emerged along with his thoughts.

[Searching the Mad Doctor's genetic knowledge base for a way to cultivate the magical spores.]

Li Nuo was stunned.

How many treasures are there in the mad doctor's genetic knowledge base? How come he even has the method to cultivate magical spores?

As soon as the thought came to mind, the search results came out.

【Search completed.】

【Search results: 1 item. 】

The details are as follows:

【Name: Magical Spore Alchemy. 】

【Learning cost: 1 skill points. 】

【illustrate:】

[Take 1 orc reproductive spore and soak it in a potion containing subspace components. When the subspace components of the potion are completely degraded by the spores, you will get 1 magical spore. This process requires the consumption of universal psychic materials.]

[The ratio of the potion and reproductive spores will be presented after learning this witchcraft. ]

Reproductive spores refer specifically to orc spores that have not taken root.

There are hundreds of reproductive spores in the fungal warehouse, which Li Nuo had collected before.

As for the liquid containing subspace components.

The first thing that came to Li Nuo’s mind was the ghost potion, followed by the warp potion that appeared in "Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader".

The effects of the two are somewhat similar.

Ghost potion can help people awaken their psychic powers, which is a permanent enhancement.

The Warp potions in Rogue Trader do not grant psychic powers, but rather temporarily strengthen the drinker.

In addition to these two liquids containing subspace components, Li Nuo also thought of the special potions used by some pharmacists in the future Chaos War Gang.

This type of special potion should also contain subspace components, and its main purpose is to quickly strengthen new recruits.

As of now, Ghost Potion is the easiest to obtain and the most stable.

How many ghost potions are needed to produce one magical spore?

Li Nuo exchanged 10 simulation points for 1 skill point and learned the magical spore alchemy.

The alchemy formula was successfully unlocked and presented on the system interface.

Li Nuo calculated according to the parameter table given in the recipe and came to a surprising conclusion.

10 bottles of standard ghost potion can be used to refine 1 magical spore, which costs 5000 throne coins.

I have wasted 3 throne coins in two simulations~
Li Nuo covered his face and sighed, as if he saw the scene where he was spending more than he earned because of the Waaagh simulation.

No, the cost of the ghost potion must be brought down.

Thinking of this, he turned the soil more efficiently.

After a while, the soil loosening work was completed.

When planting ghost mushroom mycelium, Li Nuo instinctively thought about details such as light, air humidity, and nutrient solution.

This kind of thinking driven by instinct is undoubtedly also a kind of thinking.

As long as you think about it, it will trigger a series of reactions.

Sure enough, the system text started refreshing again.

[Searching for methods related to growing ghost mushrooms. ]

【Search completed.】

【Search results: 2 item. 】

The details are as follows:

【Search result 1: Sacrificial cultivation method. 】

【Learning cost: 1 skill points. 】

【illustrate:】

[Use the blood and flesh of people who died in agony to cultivate ghost mushrooms. The more painful and miserable the death, the better the cultivation effect of blood and flesh, and the faster the ghost mushrooms grow. ]

[The downside is that potions made from ghost mushrooms are more likely to have negative effects.]

【Search result 2: Squiggle cultivation method. 】

【Learning cost: 10 skill points. 】

【illustrate:】

[Slaughter the fat meat-squiggers, use their fat, meat, blood, and orc-specific herbs and fungi to perform alchemy, and you can obtain alchemical fertilizer for growing ghost mushrooms. ]

[Ghost mushrooms cultivated in this way grow slowly, but potions made from them generally do not have negative effects. ]

Li Nuo stood on the spot with his hands supporting the hoe, and carefully read the instructions of the two cultivation methods.

The so-called sacrificial cultivation method is exactly the method used by the cultists of the Reconciliation Religion.

Li Nuo remembered very clearly that when he was cleaning out the cultists in the Bottom Nest, he saw many indescribable bloody scenes, all of which were related to the cultivation of ghost mushrooms without exception.

As a normal-minded time traveler, Li Nuo would never use humans to grow ghost mushrooms. His previous idea was to use the corpses of orcs.

There are so many orc corpses on the wreck battlefield, can't they be put to good use?

But since the system recommends using Squig, then just use Squig. Just don't use humans.

Squiggs are a natural source of meat in Orc civilization. They are eaten or made into leather.

A few Squiggs have special effects, and a very small number of Squiggs can be trained as war mounts.

Li Nuo would not have the slightest psychological burden using Squig as food for the ghost mushrooms.

He poked the interface with his mind, learning the second search result.

【Learn successfully. 】

[Details of the Skug cultivation method for ghost mushrooms are as follows:]

【...】

The knowledge stored in the mad doctor's genetic knowledge bank surged in his mind.

After digesting this knowledge, Li Nuo's eyes changed when he looked at the pet at the door again.

The amount of Meat Squig required to grow Ghost Mushrooms is quite staggering.

Li Nuo made a rough estimate:
Consuming 400 mature Meat Squiggs to make alchemical fertilizer will eventually yield about 80 kg of Ghost Mushrooms.

One mature meat Squig can feed 1 Orc Boys for a day.

400 heads are the daily rations for 4000 orc boys.

Ghost mushrooms are in great demand for meat-based Squiggs.

Blindly asking the Steel Penny Clan for meat Squiggs is not a wise move.

Even if his current identity is a mad doctor, it won’t work.

After picking this batch of ghost mushrooms, I must produce results that are beneficial to the clan to convince Aaron to continue supporting my alchemy work.

In this way, his work of using clan resources to produce magical spores over a long period of time can continue stably.

Li Nuo's mind raced, his eyes flickered, as he was thinking about how to ask Aaron for 400 meat Squiggs.

How about trying to make alchemical fertilizer using your own pet first?
As if Squig sensed his master's evil intentions, he let out a strange cry and rushed towards the door, but was pulled back to his original position by the noose around his neck, lying on the ground with his legs spread out.

Looking at the cute little guy, Li Nuo grinned:
"Don't worry, stupid dog, I won't use you as fertilizer."

Stupid Dog is the name of this Squig.

As a meat Squig, it should have been slaughtered by the Farts and served on the orcs' table.

When the mad doctor Sack had his legs chopped off by the enemy, it was the stupid dog that carried Sack away from danger.

Therefore, the stupid dog survived until now and became the mad doctor's pet.

Although Li Nuo is not the real Sack, he does not intend to do anything ungrateful, so he lets the stupid dog continue to be a pet.

The stupid dog sensed that his owner's evil thoughts had disappeared, and he returned to his carefree state, simply lying on the ground with his belly up, basking in the sun and sleeping.

The environment on the Orc planet is a bit harsh, but the stars are still normal, the colors that Li Nuo recognizes, and the sunlight feels very comfortable on his body.

The sound of footsteps came from far to near.

Zarg stopped at the door with a bunch of things in his hands.

"Mad Doctor, I brought you something that might be fungus."

Li Nuo put down the hoe in his hand, stared at the things in Zarge's arms, and used the identification spell to identify them one by one.

Zarg has some talent for gathering.

He brought back 5 types of fungi, 2 types of herbs, and 3 types of medicinal stones.

Three of these things are exactly what the alchemy of cultivation requires.

Li Nuo picked out the black mushrooms, the sea urchin-like medicinal stones, and the purple herbs that looked like mushrooms, and instructed:

"Please help me find more of these three things."

"Yeah." Zarge left again.

The same bacterial ability may appear on different fungi.

For example, the fungal ability of milk mushrooms - the art of satisfying hunger.

It appeared on a dark red fungus that looked like beef liver.

Among the five local fungi on the scene, there was only one type that Li Nuo had never seen before.

【Name: Corpse-eating fungi】

【Analysis results:】

[A special fungus that grows in the world of orcs, similar to Mucor. It can decompose corpses and debris in corpses, such as implants, feces, and undigested food. The decomposition product is liquid ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. 】

[Because of the existence of this fungus, the soil in the orc world is exceptionally fertile. ]

[Bacteria ability:]

[Corpse transformation technique, converts the corpses of flesh and blood creatures, their implants, prosthetic limbs, and their feces into liquid ammonium nitrogen fertilizer.]

[Already tamed. Unlocking requires 1 skill point. ]

The bacteria ability is essential for home and travel, there is no reason not to unlock it.

Li Nuo converted 10 points into 1 skill point, and casually put the corpse transformation technique into his pocket. At the same time, he also stored the corpse-transforming and carrion-eating fungi in the fungus warehouse.

Click on the system interface and start the automatic simulation function.

Li Nuo handed over the task of cultivating corpse-eating fungi to the system.

In just three minutes, the system found a cultivation plan, and the only raw material needed was the soil from the Orc world.

Li Nuo directly used the soil from the fields to grow several hundred kilograms of crops for future use.

While waiting for Zarg to return, Lino approached Ailon and proposed to requisition 400 meat-using Squiggs.

As he expected, Aaron showed a hint of hesitation.

Meat Squigg is an important strategic resource, as is Mad Doctor.

So who is more important?

The mad doctor, of course.

So, after less than 10 seconds of thinking, Aaron readily asked the livestock boy to move Squig to the mad doctor.

Li Nuo patted his chest and promised that the final experimental results would definitely not disappoint the other party.

An hour later, Skug was slaughtered and Zarge had collected all the alchemical materials.

Li Nuo used the alchemical equipment of the former mad doctor to perform alchemy crazily.

Sack's universal psychic material has been used up, and the stock has dropped to only 1 piece.

In exchange for this, Li Nuo obtained 10 days' supply of alchemical fertilizer.

He mixed the alchemical fertilizer with water to make liquid fertilizer, sprayed it evenly on the soil, and loosened the soil back and forth to ensure that it was evenly dry and wet.

Analysis of the fungi showed that after about 50 Terra hours, the ghost mushroom was able to grow fruiting bodies.

Ghost Mushrooms can be partially harvested 50 Terras after growing fruiting bodies.

During these 100 Terra hours, alchemical fertilizers must be replenished regularly and quantitatively.

The requirements for environmental factors such as light and air humidity are not important and can be whatever you want.

It was impossible for Li Nuo to stay in the simulation for 100 Terras while Leia was still waiting outside.

He asked Zarge to call over a few clean-handed fart spirits and teach them the essentials of fertilizing.

Fart spirits are born to do odd jobs, and have strong learning and hands-on abilities.

With Zarg watching over, the efficiency of the fart spirit will definitely not be low, and the mycelium of the ghost mushroom will not be destroyed.

After confirming that everything was safe, Li Nuo opened the system interface and chose to end the simulation.

[The simulated character Sak has been saved. ]

[After you finish the simulation, he will act autonomously according to your wishes until you possess him again. ]

【本次模拟结束。】

[Remaining simulation points: 907 points. ]

The light and shadow flickered a few times, the field of vision changed rapidly, and Li Nuo's consciousness returned to the secret room of the water treatment plant.

After opening his eyes, he immediately sat up and checked the timer opposite him.

The digital time made up of pixels showed that exactly three hours had passed since he started the simulation.

This is similar to the simulation duration estimated by Li Nuo himself, indicating that the flow of time inside and outside the simulation is basically the same.

Looking at the psychic monitor next to the timer, the reading on the pixel matrix is always zero, and there is also a long horizontal line on the mapping paper drawn according to the reading.

Yes, there was no psychic reaction during the simulation, which made Li Nuo feel relieved. At least it proved that the Waaagh simulation was not achieved through the subspace.

Li Nuo checked the readings of the sound wave, infrared, radiation and other monitors in turn and confirmed that there were no abnormalities.

The monitoring data of heart rate and respiratory rate showed that his previous physical signs were exactly the same as those in a deep sleep state, which could be equated between "simulation" and "sleep".

It’s true, Li Nuo felt that he was more energetic than before.

Even though he had just experienced several days of high-intensity combat, he didn't feel as tired as when he came back in the afternoon.

"I see. The Waaagh simulation will put me into a deep sleep, quickly restoring my energy and strength. If that's the case, what will happen if someone wakes me up during the simulation?"

Li Nuo thought about it secretly and decided to find an opportunity to try it later.

He stood up and opened the door. Leia was sitting on a chair beside the door, playing with the data tablet boredly and looked like she was about to fall asleep.

"It's out? How's the experiment going?" Leia asked, stretching.

Li Nuo glanced at the time on the data board. It was already late at night.
"The experiment is going well. Go to sleep, I'll leave now. When you are free, help me clean up the things in the room. That pile of scrap metal is no longer useful."

"Okay, I'll go to sleep first and clean up when I wake up tomorrow."

Leia yawned and walked into her room.

Li Nuo took out the data tablet to check if there was any news during this period.

A short message from the manager of Baiguo Manor came into view:

"Boss, please give me a call when it's convenient. I have some problems here."

Li Nuo thought for a moment, then quickly went out and headed for the upper nest.
