I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

Lee-No had imagined countless ways to enter the Webway.

When he truly entered here, only two words swirled in his mind:

Darkness, silence.

Especially silence.

The silence here was not just quiet, devoid of sound, but a tranquility on a magnetic field level.

The cosmic background radiation had vanished.

The disturbances caused by warp energy on the material universe were nowhere to be found.

The emotional fluctuations of living beings were no longer affected by the warp; even Orks, naturally prone to boisterousness, became peaceful at this moment.

Lee-No personally witnessed the mischievous Gretchin gradually relax their facial muscles, the lines shifting from tense to soft, their gazes changing from sharp to bland, as if a part of their emotional mechanism had been stripped away.

However, this situation quickly became a thing of the past.

When the Orks saw the crystal city outside the porthole, the atmosphere immediately ignited, switching from silence to revelry in an instant.

"Waaagh! So many shinies!"

"WAAAAGH! Am I seein' things, or is the whole city made outta gold and shinies! That's dead killy!"

"I want that pointy tower!"

Alright, Lee-No retracted his previous assessment.

The disappearance of cosmic background radiation and the warp had not turned the Orks into quiet creatures; they were merely adapting to the environment.

Turning his head to look out the porthole, a magnificent city entered his vision, breathtakingly beautiful.

Countless crystal-like spires and arches interconnected, forming complex yet orderly three-dimensional geometric patterns, each building resembling a meticulously crafted giant diamond, gem, or gold ornament.

Da Blacktoof's pirate ship was only the size of a grain of rice compared to this crystal city, and the city was just a tiny ping-pong ball on a football field compared to the Webway space, equally insignificant, equally slight.

Soft light scattered from within the buildings, illuminating the space for thousands of kilometers around, while below the city was a dark abyss, and directly above the city was a perfectly round opening.

This opening was connected to the city by a narrow metal corridor.

The metal material of the corridor was incongruous with the crystal buildings of the city, perhaps built here by other visitors.

What was this place?

A Webway hub city built by the Old Ones?

Lee-No wondered silently, when suddenly, he heard a 'plop' sound from inside the amniotic tank.

The Boyz were shouting and hollering at the crystal city in the distance, and no one except Lee-No noticed the abnormality in the amniotic tank.

One Psyker Boyz' head had exploded, the fragments of his brain rolling in the synthetic amniotic fluid, dense bubbles accumulating at the top of the water.

Lee-No paused slightly, a bad feeling arising in his heart.

His gaze swept towards the other nine Psyker Boyz in the amniotic tanks, and the ominous premonition became even stronger.

The Psyker Boyz, who had been lively and energetic, enjoying the sensation of absorbing the universal warp material in the tanks, had now become silent and taciturn, their expressions dull, their eyes staring blankly, as if their brains had crashed.

Lee-No waved his arm towards Da Blacktoof on the high platform:

"Boss, one of the Psyker Boyz has gone belly up!"

The bridge was noisy, filled with incessant clamor.

Lee-No shouted several times before Da Blacktoof finally looked down at the Tech-Grot below:

"Wot? Wot'd ya say?"

"I said! One of the Psyker Boyz has gone belly up!"

"Plop."

Another crisp cracking sound of an explosion rang out, and the second Psyker Boyz to die from a head explosion appeared on the scene.

This time, without Lee-No's reminder, Da Blacktoof also noticed the anomaly on the dotscreen.

"WAAAGH! There's sum bad stuff! Killy bad stuff!"

Da Blacktoof, as an Ork pirate leader with extensive experience, immediately understood the situation and hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Raise the Green Wall, activate the Bad Thing shield, quick! Stop yer yappin'! You and you, raise the Green Wall, activate the Bad Thing shield!"

Da Blacktoof jumped up and down anxiously, even leaping down from the high platform, kicking the Grots who were controlling the Green Wall and the Bad Thing one by one.

"Buzz!"

A muffled sound came from the depths of the ship, and the light of the Green Wall lit up first, followed by the Bad Thing shield that filled the entire ship.

Under the illumination of the two green lights, dense black lines were pushed out of the ship by the Bad Thing shield, their unwilling roars and sharp bursts echoing through the bridge.

Unknowingly, many black shadows had sneaked into the Ork pirate ship!

The Bad Thing shield was used to isolate Chaos Daemons.

Therefore!

These black shadows pushed out by the shield were all Chaos Daemons!

Lee-No took a deep breath and used Identification on a black shadow.

[Identification successful.]

[Name: Murder Daemon of Drach'nyen.]

[Type: Undivided Chaos God's Lesser Daemon.]

[Description:]

[Drach'nyen is an Undivided Chaos God that does not belong to Nurgle, Khorne, Tzeentch, or Slaanesh, born from the first murder in human civilization.]

[The black shadows you encountered are just Lesser Daemons under Drach'nyen's command.]

[These Lesser Daemons inherited their master's talent in murder and can silently kill their opponents.]

Drach'nyen… Lee-No searched his mind for memories related to this, and found that he had no impression of this Undivided Chaos God.

However, judging from the description of the identification result, this daemon and its offspring should not be underestimated, otherwise, he would surely capsize in the gutter.

Looking at the amniotic tanks on the dotscreen again, the remaining eight Psyker Boyz regained consciousness and were scolding the Bad Things.

"Them stinkin' Bad Things, they almost broke me brain!"

"I'm gonna stuff their heads up their butts!"

"All of ya shut yer traps!" Da Blacktoof jumped back onto the high platform and shouted:

"Crank up the Find-Thingy to maximum power, I want to know what treasures are in that shiny city! Also, Psyker Boyz, get to work, find the Webway node to return the way we came, my two ships are still waiting outside! Chop chop!"

The Find-Thingy emitted a beeping sound, and the eight Psyker Boyz closed their eyes, bubbles churning in the amniotic tanks.

After half a minute, the Find-Thingy emitted a high-pitched alarm:

"Beep boop, listen up, everyone. That city is a tough nut to crack, it's full of pointy-eared hard cases. I see a lot of shiny robots and shrimp. If we just sail over there, we'll definitely get blown to smithereens."

"Hiss, shiny robots, that's a bit tricky." Da Blacktoof muttered, glaring at the Psyker Boyz:

"Did you find the way back?"

"Uh, Boss, I have to tell you some bad news." The Psyker Boyz nodded towards the stern of the ship:

"The Webway node for the return journey is right behind our ship, but we can't open it."

"Can't open it? Why?"

"Because that node is covered by Bad Things." The Psyker Boyz manipulated the dotscreen, projecting a holographic image of the direction behind the ship.

In the picture, the bronze-colored wall of the Webway was not far behind the ship, but there was a thick black curtain.

On closer inspection, this black curtain was clearly composed of countless black shadow daemons.

They covered the entrance and exit of the Webway node, preventing the opening signal from the accessor from being transmitted to the node.

"Open fire, blast those Bad Things away."

Da Blacktoof urged the Helm-Grot to adjust the ship's position, and the gunnery crew quickly loaded the macro-cannon.

"Bang!"

The ship shook violently, and a metal shell with a diameter of three hundred meters flew out.

The black shadows covering the wall instantly moved away, clearing a large space.

Under the gaze of the Orks, the metal shell crashed into the wall of the Webway with a clang.

"Boom!"

"Crack crack crack crack — — — —"

After the loud explosion, a chilling cracking sound followed, and spider web-like cracks spread across the wall.

The Psyker Boyz screamed:

"We're doomed! Boss! We're doomed! We blew up the node!"

"What?!" Da Blacktoof was so angry that he jumped three meters high.

Oh ho, we're done for now… Lee-No was speechless for a moment, his mouth twitching slightly, preparing for the loss of Guga.

He had learned a lesson this time.

Webway travel was not as wonderful as he had imagined.

Apart from the very few nodes that were maintained, most of the Webway nodes that looked safe on the outside were actually big pits, or even traps set by daemons.

Before he leads the Green Palu in here in the future, he must make foolproof preparations.

Rushing in like Da Blacktoof, all reckless and hasty, would definitely be a one-way trip.

Well, now what, they can't get out, they can only stare blankly at that crystal city.

Not to mention that there were so-called "shiny robots" in that city, the food problem alone could exhaust the Orks on this ship to death.

That's right, food… A faint light lit up in Lee-No's eyes, realizing that he had overlooked a very important detail.

When traveling in the Webway, the most frightening thing was not getting lost, nor encountering daemons and black bean sprouts, but the lack of supplies.

Lee-No didn't know what the Webway was like in the time of the Old Ones, but in this day and age, there were no agricultural planets like in the material universe in the Webway.

From the raw materials of food, farmland, production lines, to the purification plant after the food became excrement, all were basic problems that needed to be solved before entering the Webway.

From this perspective, Li Nuo realized that he had a huge advantage in exploring the Webway.

He could use Waaagh simulations to transport supplies in and out of the Webway!

For example, in a hive city, he could hoard edible fungus as a human, store it in a fungus warehouse, and then use Waaagh simulations to transport the food to ships exploring the Webway!

Similarly, waste piled up on the ships could be broken down by fungus and taken out.

This would solve the most basic survival problem.

Li Nuo excitedly rubbed his hands, opened the system interface, and wanted to confirm whether he could end the simulation normally.

The message that popped up from the system satisfied him greatly.

【You are about to settle the simulation.】

【Your simulated character, Guga, is located in the Webway, and your main body is located in the material universe.】

【When settling this time, the system needs to additionally collect 10,000 simulation points and 100 magic spores.】

【Do you want to end the simulation immediately and settle?】

【System prompt: When the simulated character is in the Webway, the possession price will increase. Please refer to the charging list before the next simulation for details.】

The additional collection of 10,000 points and 100 magic spores was just a drop in the bucket.

Compared with the convenience of transporting materials in and out of the Webway, this little extra expense was nothing.

A vast plan emerged in Li Nuo's mind.

He might be able to build a stronghold of his own in the Webway, and move the rare items he obtained in the material universe into the Webway stronghold.

When he needed to use these collections in the future, he could bring them to the material universe through Waaagh simulations.

Following this line of thought, ships, space fortresses, and fungal Astartes legions could all be moved into the Webway.

Wouldn't that avoid the Horus Heresy!

Li Nuo clenched his fist and struck his palm, his heart filled with enthusiasm, and he found a goal to strive for in the next ten years.

"Didi da!"

The noisy box in the bridge rang with a notification sound, and the noisy boy shouted:

"Boss, some shrimp is trying to connect with a communication signal."

"Shrimp? Connect it and see."

"Okay."

Da Black Teeth had traveled north and south, and had not been caught so far, relying on communication and exchange across races.

As the Pirate Lord, he had already mastered Low Gothic, and it was no problem for him to communicate with the shrimp face to face.

"Zzzzzz."

A static sound swept across the bridge, and a golden man was projected onto the holographic device, with a red feather crest on the top of his helmet, like a horse's mane.

It's a Custodian!

The Emperor's golden corn!

Da Black Teeth was startled, his aura weakened a lot, and his body trembled a little.

The Custodian in the communication screen said in a cold tone and Low Gothic:

"Judging from your appearance and the ship's markings, you are Da Black Teeth, the Ork pirate leader who roams in the Halo Stars, right? I'll give you a piece of advice, sail towards the 4 o'clock direction of your bow. At the end of the route, there is a Webway node that has not yet been occupied by demons. Leave here from there."

This Custodian seems to be quite easy to talk to.

Li Nuo's gaze moved from the communication screen to the crystal city outside the bridge, and then slid up along the metal corridor on the city's tower, finally stopping at the hole at the top.

The Custodian's background was the street scene of the crystal city, with crystal white crystals paving the road, and on both sides of the road were spirit bone constructs built by the Eldar, which seemed to be called Wraithknights, which should be the shiny robots in Ork slang.

The Custodian's background was consistent with the distant view of the crystal city, which showed that the Custodian was currently standing in that city, and the highest tower in the city was connected to the hole above through a metal corridor...

Li Nuo's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes slowly widened.

He seemed to know where he was!

It was said that there was a damaged Webway entrance under the Emperor's Golden Throne, and the Webway entrance needed to be repaired and transformed before ships could pass through.

Before that, only things the size of humans could pass through.

After entering the Webway from this entrance, you would encounter a Webway hub city built by the Eldar more than 10,000 years ago.

The Adeptus Mechanicus and top scientific researchers on Terra were stationed here to repair and build the Webway, and the Custodes served as guards.

Li Nuo couldn't remember the name of this hub city.

Anyway, in the official novel "Master of Mankind", Magnus called and blew up the part of the Webway entrance that the Emperor had rebuilt with people, causing demons to pour into the Webway, and this hub city also changed hands, from human territory to a demon's paradise.

So...

He was now under the Golden Throne?!

Wouldn't the hole in the sky be the Emperor's future asshole?!

Li Nuo felt suffocated by this sudden truth.

On the other side, Da Black Teeth was stunned for a few seconds when facing the unexpected golden corn before responding:

"Uh... hey, Big Corn, you wouldn't want to play tricks, would you?"

The name Big Corn angered the Custodian.

The golden armored man in the picture raised his halberd and slammed it on the ground with a bang, making a loud noise, and his voice became colder and deeper:

"Listen carefully, Da Black Teeth, if you dare to get close to this city, our heavy artillery will destroy you immediately. We haven't taken action now because you are in a pile of demons. Your corpses will strengthen those scum. Do you understand what I mean? Do as I say, bow 4 o'clock direction, there is a safe Webway node at the end of the route, leave from there."

There were many black shadows hovering on the dot chart, which were little demons circling the ship.

As the Custodian said, dying here, the corpse and soul would only be turned into nourishment for the demons, breeding more demons.

Weigh the pros and cons and take the lesser of two evils.

Whether to be devoured by demons, or destroyed by the Custodes, or obediently leave, all depends on Da Black Teeth's choice.

Da Black Teeth's eyes rolled around, quickly weighing the pros and cons, and finally chose to believe the Custodian's words.

"Okay, I understand, I'll leave now."

"Remember, don't get close to this city."

The Custodian dropped a sentence and ended the communication.

The holographic communication screen disappeared.

The helmsman boy asked:

"Boss, should we listen to the shrimp?"

"Let's see what's in the 4 o'clock direction first." Da Black Teeth gave the psychic boy a look.

The eight psychic boys began to explore the road and soon came back with a response.

"Boss, at the end of the 4 o'clock direction, there is a safe Webway node, we can open it and get out from there."

"Okay, then let's go, my two ships are still outside." Da Black Teeth urged the helmsman boy to set sail quickly.

The ship accelerated and entered the edge of the illuminated area of the hub city, and the black shadows outside the ship were dispelled by the light.

The Eastern Finder sounded an alarm, reminding Da Black Teeth that the ship had been locked by the firepower signals of multiple Auspex arrays, and being bombarded was only a matter of time.

Da Black Teeth stomped a few steps on the high platform, sighed unwillingly:

"Forget it, let's come to this shiny city to find treasure next time. Let's go out first. Boys, advance at full speed along the edge of the bombardment range."

"Okay, boss."

The helmsman boy pulled the lever.

The ship obviously accelerated, drawing an arc more than a thousand kilometers away from the hub city, and sailed towards the predetermined target location.

The hub city has a man-made atmosphere and gravity environment.

At a distance of more than a thousand kilometers, the impact of the atmosphere and gravity on the ship was negligible, and the cruising speed of the Ork pirate ship smoothly increased to more than two thousand kilometers per hour.

A moment later, the Webway node pointed to by the Custodian was close at hand.

The Mekboyz instructed the technician boys to start the Webway access device, and the dark Webway entrance appeared on the wall, and the Ork boys rushed in amid cheers.

After that, a scorching breath came to their faces, and dazzling firelight pierced their eyes.

Li Nuo never imagined that the Webway exit would be close to the surface of a star!

"Quick!! Turn!! the!! rudder!!"

Da Black Teeth roared hoarsely.

The helmsman boy turned the helm sharply, filling the direction, but the ship was still captured by the star's huge gravity, and became burning cosmic dust after a few breaths.

...

Inside the hub city.

The Tech-Priest used mechanical fingers to tap the keyboard and broadcast a string of information through the sound array device:

"Ra Endymion, those greenskins are out. Judging from the ship's cruising speed and sailing angle, the probability of them crashing on the surface of the star is 100%, and the probability of all of them being killed is also 100%."

"Well, Emperor be praised, we have once again guarded the secrets here, stay vigilant."

"As you wish, sir."

Ra Endymion raised his halberd and began a new round of patrol.
