I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

Trading location.

Li Nuo put down the bag full of mushrooms and waited for a moment.

Leia and her rat-skin companion, Dazhuang, arrived on the scene.

As usual, both sides first completed the transaction of ordinary mushrooms, and let Dazhuang leave with the mushrooms on his back.

After the rat-skin man walked away, Leia looked Li Nuo up and down, "Why do I feel like you've gotten taller?"

"That's right, I'm undergoing body modification and will be even taller in the future." Li Nuo smiled, "How is the illustrated handbook coming along?"

Leia took out a notebook from her inner pocket:

"Here you go, take a look. I've recorded information on fifteen kinds of living and non-living things. I know you like fungi, so I made a special effort to record the six most common fungi in the ruins area. The fungal samples are in my bag."

"I'm really grateful for your trouble, Leia." Li Nuo pondered:

"I've encountered some trouble recently and need your help."

Leia glanced at the bruises on Li Nuo's face and nodded slightly:

"Yeah, I can see that. Who beat you up like this? You bring him over, and I'll bring some people to beat him up."

"That won't be necessary. The help I need from you has nothing to do with the injuries on my face. These were left during training."

As Li Nuo spoke, he accidentally twitched the injured part of his face and gasped:

"Hiss, that hurts. Leia, do you have any way to counter spiritual energy of the mental type?"

"Spiritual energy of the mental type?" Leia frowned, "Have you provoked a spiritual energy user?"

Li Nuo made up an excuse to explain:

"You could say that. That guy can make people fall into illusions. I want to find a way to counter his spiritual energy."

"No wonder you were beaten black and blue. Did that person first use illusions to confuse you, and then take the opportunity to beat you up?"

Clearly, Leia had imagined the process of Li Nuo's misfortune on her own.

Li Nuo was too lazy to go into detail and just nodded, tacitly agreeing with this statement.

Leia took out a small glass tube the size of a little finger from her pocket:

"Try this, cold leaf grass tincture. Drink it when you're in an illusion, and it should help you get rid of it. I won't charge you for it, consider it my gift to you, I have a lot more."

Li Nuo wanted to accept it, but suddenly remembered what Robnos had said when injecting the enhancer:

After injecting the enhancer, you can't drink water, and you can't eat.

Robnos didn't say what the consequences of forcibly drinking water and eating would be, but it was estimated that it would cause serious side effects.

If you can't even drink water, then drinking a tincture containing chemical components is definitely out of the question.

Li Nuo waved his hand:

"Leia, that guy's illusion is very special. During the period when the illusion takes effect, I can't drink water, and I can't eat, otherwise I'll die on the spot."

Leia was stunned:

"That's really strange. I've been wandering in the ruins area for so long, and this is the first time I've heard of this kind of spiritual energy."

Li Nuo spread his hands, looking helpless.

Leia put away the tincture and gently rubbed her brow, "Then can you afford a spiritual energy shield?"

Before Li Nuo could answer, Leia looked Li Nuo up and down and gave the answer in advance:

"Okay, it seems you can't afford a spiritual energy shield like me. I guess only the upper-hive people can enjoy that thing. In that case, I can only offer you one piece of advice."

Leia raised her index finger and shook it:

"That is to temporarily turn yourself into an idiot, so that you can't produce illusions."

Huh? What's with turning yourself into an idiot?… Li Nuo was stunned.

Leia knew he couldn't understand the value of "idiot" from his expression.

"Take a look at page ten of the illustrated handbook. It records a monster that can cause illusions."

Leia helped Li Nuo flip through the notebook.

This page had a hand-drawn picture.

The picture depicted the interior of a rocky passage, with uneven rock walls covered with strange patterns.

Upon closer inspection, the patterns were clearly human faces.

They opened their mouths wide, silently screaming, as if suffering in agony.

The following was written below the picture:

"Howling Passage, those who enter will be affected by spiritual energy of the mental type. Terrifying images will appear before their eyes, and they will hear painful howls. Those who cannot withstand the illusions will be sucked into the rock wall and transformed into new human faces."

"Coping method: Take medication to lose the ability to produce illusions."

Leia said:

"This passage is located on the only way between the ruins area and the lower hive. People who pass by usually take antipsychotic drugs first, and then pass through it. If no medication is available, swallowing mushroom spores with similar effects is also possible. For example, this."

Leia flipped back a few pages to the place introducing a certain fungus.

The illustrated handbook showed a white-capped, red-topped mushroom with colorful spots on the cap, which looked a bit creepy.

Its introduction information was written like this:

"Dunce Mushroom, a spiritual energy fungus that actively sprays spores around."

"Its spores can freeze a person's thinking ability, causing them to fall into a state of mental stiffness, like an idiot."

"These spores are not entirely harmful. Experiments have shown that the brains of people who fall into a state of mental stiffness are protected by a spiritual energy barrier, thus temporarily immune to illusions caused by spiritual energy."

Li Nuo was thoughtful:

"Interesting. Using spores with negative effects to counteract illusion-generating spiritual energy, achieving a positive result from a negative. Is this the wisdom of the ruins area?"

Leia smiled:

"It's not really the wisdom of the ruins area. This kind of using-poison-to-counter-poison approach mostly comes from mutant gangs and cultists in the lower hive. By the way, the fungal samples are in my bag."

Leia opened her backpack and took out a glass jar from it.

Li Nuo aimed at the mushrooms in the jar and used Analyze Fungus.

【Name: Dunce Mushroom】

【Analysis Result:】

【A peculiar predatory fungus that can live as a saprophyte even when prey animals are not present.】

【This mushroom has been contaminated by miscellaneous bacteria and is toxic. Its medicinal value is reflected in the spiritual energy effects of its spores.】

【Fungal Ability: Brain Freeze Technique.】

【Unlock Requirement: 100 skill points. After the fungus is tamed by you, the unlock requirement is reduced to 1 skill point.】

【You only need to remove the contamination of miscellaneous bacteria to complete the taming.】

Brain Freeze Technique?

A skill that freezes the brain?

If I use this ability to deal with those troublemaking stevedores, wouldn't I be able to turn them all into wooden stakes.

Li Nuo was full of expectations for the effect of the Brain Freeze Technique.

If it can really counteract illusions, then that would be even better.

"I'll go back and try the effect later." Li Nuo took out a sample-grade mushroom and handed it over:

"You put the mushrooms away first. Wait for me to finish reading the illustrated handbook recorded this time, and then you can go back. I'll be quick, it won't take up your time."

Leia received the mushroom and couldn't wait to take one and eat it, smiling and saying:

"I'm not in a hurry, take your time. If you can't handle that spiritual energy user, you can bring him over, and I'll find someone to teach him a lesson. Just give me five kilograms of sample-grade mushrooms."

She's really wild.

Li Nuo awkwardly and politely declined, discussing the matter of trading with cigarettes with Leia while reading the illustrated handbook.

The counter price of premium-grade Klam cigarettes is two hundred ration cards per box, with ten cigarettes in a box, which is equivalent to twenty ration cards per cigarette.

All the cigarettes on the counter had been divided up and were in short supply all year round. Ordinary people could only go to private cigarette stalls and buy them at a price of twenty-five ration cards per cigarette.

The price at which these stalls recycled cigarettes was twenty-two ration cards per cigarette, unlimited recycling, and the transaction was done on the spot.

Thus, Li Nuo and Leia agreed:

Starting from the next transaction, both parties will settle with premium-grade cigarettes, exchanging one cigarette for every two kilograms of mushrooms, and the remainder will be paid with ration cards.

In this way, the two gained a satisfactory transaction plan.

Li Nuo took the fungal samples and ration cards provided by Leia and went home.

In order to complete the great cause of buying a house as soon as possible, he increased the number of mushrooms for the next transaction to eighty kilograms.

After deducting the planting costs, the number of ration cards he will have the night after tomorrow should be enough to pay the deposit for buying a house.

Of course, the most critical thing now is to combat the lethality of the enhancer.

Every time Li Nuo gets an injection, he is worried that he will roll his eyes and hastily end his life as a transmigrator.
