Li Nuo successfully persuaded Isabel.

Or rather, it was Isabel who painstakingly persuaded herself based on her own work experience.

Epi-Mait is located in the Solar System.

When local Star Speakers communicate with Terra via the Warp, they generally have to wait three days to receive a response.

In the event of Warp turbulence or storms, the communication response delay can suddenly increase to "months", or even be completely incommunicado.

This level of delay caused much complaint from the Governor and the Hive Internal Affairs Department, and it is hard to imagine what the situation would be like on planets located on the fringes of the Empire.

Yes, Li Nuo was absolutely correct.

The Empire's territory is already so large that the current bloated and sluggish communication and logistics system is almost unbearable.

The Emperor, known for his valor and wisdom, is certainly not a fool.

He is very likely to suspend the expansion of the Empire's territory until he finds a way to improve the Empire's operational efficiency.

The above passage was spoken by Isabel herself.

When Li Nuo heard it, he almost gave a thumbs up, as what she said was completely correct and could be said to be a prediction of the entire Empire's future direction.

The Emperor's method of improving the Empire's operational efficiency is to activate the Webway created by the Old Ones.

The Warp is like the deep sea.

The daemons of the Warp are like sharks and various sea monsters.

The Warp turbulence that often disrupts Warp travel is like the undercurrents in the deep sea.

Warp storms can be understood as major earthquakes in the deep sea, or underwater volcanic eruptions.

The relationship between the Webway and the Warp is equivalent to that of a tunnel and the deep sea.

Tunnels can protect personnel, isolating them from threats from the deep sea, and so is the Webway.

The origin of the Webway is a mystery to the Imperium of Man, but that does not prevent the Emperor from finding the Webway entrance and activating it.

Beneath the Emperor's Golden Throne lies an abandoned Webway entrance.

After completing the Great Crusade, he handed over the position of Warmaster to Horus and went to build the Webway entrance beneath the Throne.

Once the Webway entrance is repaired, humanity will be free from the influence of Warp daemons, turbulence, and storms, and will be able to reach every corner of the galaxy in an instant through the Webway.

The Empire's operational efficiency will increase dramatically, and the Great Crusade can be launched again.

This move threatened the position of the Chaos Gods in the Warp, which led to the famous scene of Magnus, under the bewitchment of the Chaos Gods, using a psychic phone call to pierce the Webway entrance.

Of course, all of this is a story for later.

Li Nuo only had some associations because of Isabel's prediction and did not intend to share what he knew about the future with her.

The two exchanged opinions in the secret room and finally reached a cooperation.

Isabel invited Li Nuo to buy White Fruit Manor in the name of her family, which was a task given to her by her father.

Isabel was persuaded by Li Nuo, and she will try to persuade her father with Li Nuo's words.

Before her father decides whether to go all-in on Ghost Elixir, Isabel will help Li Nuo sell White Ridge tobacco leaves and negotiate with the Levey family on his behalf.

Li Nuo had no objection to this result and immediately signed a cooperation agreement with Isabel.

In the following three days, Li Nuo assisted White Fruit Manor and the Crumb family's cigarette factory in connecting.

Tons and tons of White Ridge tobacco leaves were sent to the lower hive's cigarette factory.

They were made into tobacco shreds and cigarettes on the assembly line, labeled with the Crumb family's White Ridge cigarettes, and dumped into the eighth, ninth, and tenth districts of the lower hive.

The original counter selling price was five ration cards per cigarette, now it is eight.

The extra three are the gross profit due to the Crumb family.

As an old brand cigarette factory, the Crumb family's brand effect is explosively strong, coupled with the super low price, White Ridge cigarettes were sold out as soon as they were put on the counter.

Even Leia, who lived a simple life in the water purification plant, heard of the White Ridge cigarettes and specially asked Li Nuo for leave to snap up White Ridge cigarettes at the market.

Li Nuo smiled at this and said nothing.

When the time is right in the future, he will reveal his relationship with White Ridge cigarettes to Leia.

Now, there is something more important to do.

[System Prompt:]

[The Ghost Mushrooms cultivated by your simulated character "Sark" can be harvested for the first time.]

[Please possess "Sark" in time to check the growth of the Ghost Mushrooms.]

"Brandy, I want to read in the study, please set all the communicators to do not disturb mode. Everything else can wait until I come out of the study."

Li Nuo had just returned home from White Fruit Manor when the system sent a prompt to "go online and harvest crops."

He told Brandy and walked quickly into the study, locked the door, ate 1 magical spore on the chair, and read the save file of the Mad Doctor Sark.

After arriving at the starry sky full of Ork planets, the picture turned, and the field of vision switched from the vast sea of stars to the low shed where Ghost Mushrooms were planted.

[Character save file read successfully, you have possessed the Mad Doctor Sark.]

Li Nuo looked at the door of the low shed.

Three Grots were massaging the Dumb Dog, and Zarg stood at the door with his arms folded, supervising.

The Dumb Dog was being served comfortably by the Grots, humming and groaning.

Li Nuo snapped his fingers, asking Zarg to take the Grots and the Dumb Dog out.

As the door closed, the surroundings became quiet.

Li Nuo squatted down to check the growth of the mushrooms.

The green mushroom body broke out of the soil, swaying its cap in the breeze with a Q-elastic posture, and its stem and the hyphae in the soil were light green.

It smelled stinky, like a Squig's poop.

"Uh? Why are these mushrooms green? Shouldn't they be blue-purple? They don't look like the Ghost Mushrooms I've seen before."

Li Nuo was stunned for a moment and quickly threw out Analyze Fungus.

[Name: Healthy Ghost Mushroom]

[Analysis Result:]

[Thanks to the correct cultivation method, the Ghost Mushrooms are developing well, there is no contamination of miscellaneous bacteria, no toxicity, and no bizarre hallucinatory effects due to being contaminated with negative emotions.]

[This is the true form of the Ghost Mushroom. The huge fungal colonies that cause hallucinations are products distorted by negative emotions, death, and corpses.]

[This fungus can now be harvested. After the first harvest, it needs to grow for 100 Terra hours before the next harvest can be carried out.]

Li Nuo spent some time harvesting the mushroom bodies by hand, leaving the hyphae in the soil, so that they could be harvested cyclically.

The fungi in the Warhammer world are too bizarre.

The same strain of fungus, different cultivation methods, and the final life form are completely different.

Ghost Mushrooms irrigated with negative emotions and corpses are ugly, hideous, covered with germs, and also produce hallucinations, and the medicinal value is concentrated on the root-like mycelium.

Looking at these green mushrooms in his hand, they are so small and exquisite, tender and clear.

Li Nuo even suspected that this mushroom could be eaten directly.

After a manual harvest, he harvested a full basket of green mushrooms, estimated to be at least 80 kilograms. (Note)

The next step is to make potions with mushrooms.

Li Nuo began to ponder.

[Searching the Mad Doctor's gene knowledge base, searching for alchemical recipes using Ghost Mushrooms as raw materials.]

[...]

[Search completed.]

[Search results: 39 items.]

[After removing the options that you cannot use due to insufficient universal psychic materials, there are still 4 search results left.]

[The details are as follows:]

[Search Result 1: Ghost Elixir Alchemy Recipe.]

[Learning Cost: 10 skill points.]

[Description:]

[The most common Warp potion, containing Warp components. It can give the drinker random psychic powers. No universal psychic materials are required. 10 bottles of this potion in standard specifications can convert 1 Ork spore into a magical spore.]

[Search Result 2: Strength Potion Alchemy Recipe.]

[Learning Cost: 50 skill points.]

[Description:]

[An alchemical potion that can greatly enhance muscle strength, but will not allow the drinker to awaken psychic powers. The more times it is drunk, the weaker the effect. It does not contain Warp components and cannot be used to obtain magical spores.]

[Search Result 3: Sharp Eye Potion Alchemy Recipe.]

[Learning Cost: 50 skill points.]

[Description:]

[An alchemical potion that can greatly enhance visual ability, but will not allow the drinker to awaken psychic powers. The more times it is drunk, the weaker the effect. It does not contain Warp components and cannot be used to obtain magical spores.]

[Search Result 4: Alchemical Effect Cleansing Potion Recipe.]

[Learning Cost: 10 skill points.]

[Description:]

[Removes all enhancement effects applied by alchemical potions. It does not contain Warp components and cannot be used to obtain magical spores.]

[Unless otherwise specified, alchemical recipes related to Mad Doctor Witchcraft require the consumption of universal psychic materials.]

Ghost Elixir does not involve Mad Doctor Witchcraft and does not require the consumption of universal psychic materials.

Correspondingly, the psychic powers it grants cannot be washed away by cleansing potions.

Li Nuo looked at the four searches carefully, and a bold idea emerged in his mind.

On the one hand, he wants to use Ghost Elixir to make magical spores.

On the other hand, he plans to use alchemical potions to strengthen his human body, and at the same time use such potions to prove to Elon that he has not wasted 400 Squigs.

So, which alchemical potion is suitable for him?

Strength potion will enhance muscle strength, which may cause drastic changes in the appearance of the muscles, easily attracting the attention of others.

After comprehensive consideration, the Keen Eyes Potion is the most suitable, provided that this potion does not cause severe eye mutations.

In about four months, I will undergo the second phase of the governor's guard gene modification project.

At that time, I'll just use a bottle of cleansing potion to wash away the witchcraft buffs on my body.

After the modification is complete, I will use the Keen Eyes Potion to strengthen myself.

Li Nuo made a few operations on the search results and exchanged for the alchemy recipes of the Ghost Potion and the Keen Eyes Potion.

Before long, the Ghost Potion was completed.

Li Nuo took out the spores of the Orks and threw them into the potion.

The spores rapidly degraded the warp energy, and the transformation was completed in just three minutes.

The number of magical spores harvested was just right, exactly 16.

400 mature meat-Squigs, 80 kilograms of Ghost Mushrooms, 16 magical spores.

The relationship between these three is 25:5:1.

After making the magical spores, there were still 6 kilograms of Ghost Mushrooms left.

Li Nuo divided them into two, 3 kilograms were used to make the Keen Eyes Potion, and the other 3 kilograms were stored in the fungus warehouse for later use.

After the Keen Eyes Potion was made, he took it to the clan leader.

Ailong was supervising the Tech-lad as he modified his vehicle, the heavy steel armor reflecting dazzling light in the sunlight, exuding the aura of a powerful and imposing warrior.

Li Nuo raised the potion bottle in his hand and shouted in a tired, hoarse voice:

"Boss! I've made a magical potion! I guarantee you'll love it!"

Ailong lifted his mask, lowered his head, took the potion bottle from the Mad Doctor's hand, and drank it down without asking.

Li Nuo was a little dumbfounded.

He had prepared a lot of lines to emphasize the difficulty of making the potion.

Before these words could be spoken, how could the other party just gulp it down in one go?

No, buddy.

Aren't you afraid that the potion I gave you is poisonous?

The Ork's thought process once again refreshed Li Nuo's understanding.

Ailong emptied the potion, let out a strange cry of "Woooah", scaring the Orks into not daring to look up.

He lifted his helmet, widened his eyes, looked incredulously at a tree outside the clan territory, and shouted loudly:

"By Gork and Mork! I can actually see so far!"

Ailong casually picked up a heavy bolter and took a shot at the distant tree.

"Bang!"

The bolt exploded on the tree trunk, directly blowing the tree into two pieces.

"Mad Doctor! What kind of medicine did you give me just now? It's too powerful! I like it!" Ailong couldn't close his mouth with joy.

Li Nuo cleared his throat and shouted out the lines he had prepared in an exaggerated tone, acting like a genuine mad doctor, both crazy and a doctor:

"Boss! Let me solemnly introduce my latest masterpiece to you!"

The surrounding Orks put down their work and gathered around the Mad Doctor and the boss, very curious about the Mad Doctor's work.

They had followed the boss in battle for so many years, and it was the first time they had seen the boss shoot so far, it was simply awesome.

If the Mad Doctor could give himself a bottle of this potion, then he would be sure to blow the heads of the enemy in the next battle.

Seeing more and more Orks around, Li Nuo simply waved to Zharg and asked him to lift himself above his head.

"Oi! Lads! Wanna see what's hidin' in a Grot's trousers from a kilometer away? I'm tellin' ya, you're in luck! I just invented a smashin' new gizmo called 'Eyeball Juice'!"

The Orks muttered to each other.

Ailong roared:

"Quiet! Listen up, all of ya! I reckon the Mad Doctor's gizmo can definitely help us kill the Red Eyes next door!"

As soon as the boss spoke, the scene was silent.

Li Nuo continued to shout:

"'Eyeball Juice' ain't no rusty telescope you found! It's brewed by me with the smelliest, greenest, weirdest, and wonderful green mushrooms! Just one bottle will let you see the cowards hiding behind cover!"

Li Nuo stood on Zharg's shoulders and bowed to Ailong:

"Our boss is the most smashin', most Waaagh-iest bloke here! He can prove what I'm sayin'!"

"Yeah, I can prove that the Mad Doctor is right, Eyeball Juice even let me see every hair on you gitz!"

Ailong nodded in a booming voice, then scratched his head:

"But, this potion uses a lot of Squigs..."

Li Nuo showed a confident smile, his big yellow teeth shining in the sun:

"Boss, I've improved the potion's alchemy recipe. From now on, each bottle of potion will only consume 40 Squigs!"

Ailong counted with his fingers, his eyes almost popping out:

"Only 40 Squigs?! You ain't foolin' me, are ya?"

"No, absolutely not."

The number Li Nuo reported was the result of his careful consideration.

5 mature meat-Squigs are equal to 1 kilogram of Ghost Mushrooms.

15 Squigs are equal to 3 kilograms of mushrooms, which is equal to 1 bottle of Keen Eyes Potion. That is, what the Orks call "Eyeball Juice".

25 Squigs are equal to 5 kilograms of mushrooms, which is equal to 1 magical spore.

40 Squigs can just make 1 bottle of Keen Eyes Potion and 1 magical spore.

Consuming only 40 Squigs, the cost of possessing the Mad Doctor - Sark is recovered, and the rest is pure profit.

Should the cost reported to Ailong be increased from 40 to 80?

Wouldn't this allow for the embezzlement of more Squigs and the production of more magical spores?

No, that can't be done.

Doing so is too short-sighted and will only empty the Steel Boyz clan's inventory.

Li Nuo felt that he and the Steel Boyz clan were more like a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship.

If he is good, I am also good, and vice versa.

Therefore, remember not to drain the pond to catch all the fish, the win-win route is a better choice.

When the Steel Boyz clan takes down more territory, the production of meat-Squigs will naturally rise, and the magical spores he harvests will also increase.

This is the reason why Li Nuo chose to report the number "40".

Ailong called the livestock-lad in charge of breeding the Squigs, and the two sides discussed it for a long time, and finally made a decision.

The livestock-lad provides the Mad Doctor with 120 meat-Squigs every day, and the Mad Doctor makes 3 bottles of Keen Eyes Potion every day.

Li Nuo raised both hands and feet in agreement with this result.

Stopping the possession of the Mad Doctor is equivalent to "offline hanging up" in the game.

The current "offline hanging up income" is 3 magical spores per day, and he only needs to "go online" every few days to get the income, which is simply too cool.

With the production capacity of magical spores guaranteed, a stone was lifted from his heart.

Now, obtaining simulation points has become the top priority.

Unlocking witchcraft previously cost 600 points, and Ailong gave a thumbs up after drinking the medicine, and he got 100 points.

With this ebb and flow, there are still 407 points left on the books.

If he doesn't hurry up and raise the points inventory, Li Nuo always feels that he will miss important witchcraft.

"Boss, is there any big job to give to me? Like cracking your head open or something?"

Li Nuo's eyes scanned Ailong's right braincase.

The left half of the other party's braincase has been replaced with steel, but the right half has not yet been replaced.

If he could do this vote, he could harvest at least a few hundred points.

But Ailong is an Ork boss who is strict with himself.

He will only reward himself with replacing a part of his body after winning a battle.

"Mad Doctor, I know your technology is the most awesome, but now is not the time." Ailong pointed to the bustling tech workshop:

"The Tech-boss and Tech-lads are building tanks for us. When all the tanks are built, we will go to fight the Red Eyes next door! This time, we will definitely kill all of the Red Eyes gitz! When we win, I will come to you to change my braincase."

Li Nuo asked how long it would take for the war chariot to be built.

Ailong calculated for a long time with his fingers, consuming a lot of brain cells, and finally came to the conclusion - about 10 days.

He will have to wait 10 days to have a chance to crack Ailong's head open and exchange his braincase for points. The idea of brushing points is impossible in the short term.

Li Nuo turned to performing surgery on various lads.

Soon, he found that this was a strategy that was not worth the effort.

There is no point reward for operating on lads.

Not only that, but he also had to spend points to unlock witchcraft in order to deal with difficult and complicated diseases. Back and forth, it was a pure blood loss.

After thinking about it, Li Nuo finally decided to change to an Ork identity.

There are currently 22 magical spores on hand.

He plans to eat 10 at a time to see what happens.

As for strengthening the human body with Keen Eyes Potion, there is no need to rush, just complete it at any time.

Li Nuo returned to the Mad Doctor's shack, opened the system interface, and manually ended the simulation.

Note: Unless otherwise specified, the gravity parameters of the planet are the same as Terra by default.
