I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer
#20 - On board a pirate ship
“Clap, clap, clap.”
Robonos applauded vigorously, his face full of smiles:
“Everyone, congratulations on ushering in your first transformation. Let us begin to enjoy dinner.”
The bloodstains and corpses in the lounge were cleaned up, and security personnel pushed in dining carts and distributed food.
The richness of the dinner exceeded Li Nuo's expectations.
Five synthetic sausages, two large bowls of synthetic starch, a bowl of liquid synthetic protein similar to milk, and two hard-boiled eggs with purple yolks.
In terms of quantity, dinner was at least twice the size of lunch.
As the food was placed on the table, a strong sense of hunger erupted within him.
Li Nuo picked up a sausage and devoured it, while his other hand picked up the starch porridge and drank it wildly, taking time to check his condition.
He found that his muscles had become thicker, and the lines were clearer.
The most significant change was in his thighs; he was wearing regular clothes now, and the trouser legs were obviously a bit tight.
All of this pointed to an increase in muscle strength, but he didn't know exactly how much stronger he had become.
No one spoke in the hall; everyone who had been injected with the enhancer was gobbling down their food.
Robonos held a pipe, slowly pacing back and forth, checking the condition of the apprentices one by one.
He would occasionally stop, using his data pad to emit beams of light to obtain the apprentices' body data.
Not knowing what kind of data he saw, the smile on Robonos's face became more and more brilliant, as if he were admiring a masterpiece he had created with his own hands.
“Perhaps you have already guessed that the enhancer injected just now contains the hallucinogenic substance of the Ghost Mushroom.”
Robonos took a puff of his pipe, slowly exhaling thick smoke, and smiled at the gazes of everyone:
“Don't think that this hallucinogenic substance only has disadvantages and no advantages. In fact, after a complex processing process, hallucinogenic substances can be converted into painkillers, stimulants, enhancers, and even Ghost Potions that grant ordinary people psychic abilities.”
Granting ordinary people psychic abilities with potions?
How is that possible!
Isn't psychic ability innate?
If a person is not a psychic at birth, then it is impossible for them to awaken psychic abilities later in life.
This is written in black and white in the textbooks.
How could it be possible to awaken psychic abilities by injecting potions?
Was the cunning supervisor trying to deceive them again?
“How do we know if what you're saying is true?”
“Is your word more authoritative than the textbook?”
“Heh heh, unless you prove the truth of the Ghost Potion to us, we will not believe a single word you say.”
The apprentices on the scene raised questions one after another.
Robonos smiled slightly and did not refute:
“Changing a person's inherent perception is one of the most difficult things, but facts speak louder than words. Among you, one person has had the Ghost Potion added to their enhancer. Let him prove whether what I said is true. Mazax, stand up and tell them how you feel now.”
Robonos walked towards a certain apprentice.
The man named Mazax became the focus of the audience.
He was a strong man in his early thirties, with hard facial lines, well-proportioned and full muscles, calluses all over his hands, and a simple and honest appearance.
He put down the dinner plate in his hand and stood up, a look of panic on his face, but he pretended to be calm:
“Supervisor, thanks to you, I feel that my strength is much greater than before. As for the psychic ability you mentioned, I seem to have acquired a little bit of it, but I don’t know how to use it.”
Robonos picked up a dining knife and handed it over, “Cut a knife on your wrist, then concentrate your attention, stare at the wound, and imagine it is healing itself.”
“Yes, Supervisor.” Mazax grasped the dining knife, took a deep breath, and forcefully slashed his wrist.
Scarlet blood marks oozed out blood beads. Mazax nervously glanced at Robonos, then widened his eyes and stared at the wound.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the blood marks stopped bleeding and scabbed over in just a few seconds.
Mazax gasped, dumbfounded, "My God, my wound has healed. Is this... is this... is this my psychic ability?"
Everyone was stunned, feeling that their common sense was being disintegrated.
Mazax was definitely not a psychic before, otherwise, he would have been taken away by the Black Ship Alliance long ago.
The only explanation was the Ghost Potion.
There really exists a potion that can grant ordinary people psychic abilities!
Robonos laughed loudly:
“Did you see it? This is the effect of the Ghost Potion. In the past, the Ghost Potion could only grant the user random psychic abilities. The potion used by Mazax is the latest model, which has special ingredients added to it that can help him awaken psychic abilities related to self-healing. Now, does anyone still have doubts about the Ghost Potion?”
That's what he said.
But Supervisor, aren't you worried that the Black Ship Alliance will come and arrest Mazax?
Mazax had studied for a few years and naturally knew of the existence of the Black Ship Alliance.
Faced with the psychic abilities he suddenly possessed, he did not feel joy, but was extremely frightened:
“I... I... I... I won't be arrested by the Black Ship Alliance, will I? Supervisor, what should I do now?”
Mazax was flustered and panicked, almost kneeling down to Robonos.
Robonos's expression was as usual, his smile steady and confident.
He took out a metal card from his pocket, gently patted Mazax's shoulder, and comforted him:
“Do you see the card in my hand? This is the Artificial Psychic Certificate issued by the head of the Kram family. Any artificial psychic who is loyal to the Kram family can obtain such a certificate. With it, the Black Ship Alliance will not take you away. Come, Mazax, take it; this certificate belongs to you.”
“Yes, Supervisor! I am absolutely loyal to the Kram family!!”
Mazax was extremely excited and shouted hoarsely.
He took the card with both hands and stroked it affectionately, wishing he could kiss the card face hard.
The apprentices present did not know the relationship between psychic ability and the Warp, and only regarded psychic ability as a supernatural power.
They yearned for the Ghost Potion, and their eyes were filled with envy when they looked at Mazax.
Only one person was an exception.
That was Li Nuo.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
He frowned slightly, vaguely feeling uneasy.
Now is the end of the thirtieth millennium, at the end of the Great Crusade era.
In order to conquer the galaxy, the Emperor established the Scholastica Psykana and the Adeptus Astronomica.
The Scholastica Psykana has under it the Black Ship Alliance and the Psychic Academy.
The Black Ship Alliance is responsible for collecting psychics from various planets and screening them.
Psychics who pass the screening will be sent to the Psychic Academy. After training at the academy, they will become legal psychics in various departments of the Empire.
Psychics who fail the Black Ship Alliance screening will be sent to the Adeptus Astronomica.
The Adeptus Astronomica is responsible for maintaining the Astronomican.
The light of the Astronomican can penetrate the Warp, providing guidance for the Empire's fleet's Warp navigation.
The fuel for the Astronomican is the psychic energy of the psychics.
The good news is that His Majesty the Emperor is now in good health and has not been sitting on the Golden Throne for a long time. To provide psychic energy for the Astronomican, psychics will not be drained into dried corpses as soon as they take office, as in later generations. Generally speaking, they can live for a year or two.
So here's the question: what was Mazax panicking about earlier? Isn't it possible for him to become a legal psychic?
Yes, it is indeed possible for him to become a legal psychic, but the probability is terribly low.
The academy textbooks say that less than 10% of psychics can pass the Black Ship Alliance screening; the rest all become fuel for the Astronomican.
Mazax is not a true psychic.
He is artificial, and the probability of passing the screening is approximately zero; he can only serve as fuel for the Astronomican.
This is the reason for his panic.
Then there's the Ghost Potion that the Kram family concocted and the so-called Artificial Psychic Certificate.
Li Nuo just wanted to say that this was completely playing with fire.
During the Great Crusade era, the phenomenon of the Human Empire abusing psychic abilities was endless.
In order to conquer the galaxy, the Emperor turned a blind eye to the abuse of psychic abilities.
Therefore, various worlds have a certain amount of discretionary power over the psychics in their world.
Only psychics who are not needed by the major forces in the world will be thrown to the Black Ship Alliance.
Not to mention sheltering artificial psychics, the head of the Kram family can even create a psychic guard for himself.
This large-scale abuse of psychic abilities was effectively curbed after the Council of Nikaea ended.
At that meeting, the Emperor declared most psychics to be illegal psychics, and only Navigators, Astropaths, and the existing Librarians of the Legions were granted legal status.
What year is it this year?
985.M30!
When was the Council of Nikaea held?
If I remember correctly, it should be 001.M31.
The Kram family is clearly going to make the Ghost Potion bigger and stronger.
At this time, joining forces with them is not getting on a pirate ship?!
Li Nuo secretly gasped, making a decision in his heart.
He can do things like getting skill points from injections and pills, but he won't get on a pirate ship. At worst, he'll go to the Underhive himself for the Ghost Fungus in the future.
