I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

#41 - Sitting on a Mountain of Gold (Part 4)

The rewards that nobles offer to non-noble groups generally fall into two categories.

The first type of reward is marriage.

This is only applicable to unmarried individuals, with low costs, and good and stable effects of winning people's hearts.

Eighteen years old is the legal marriage age in Nest City - Epitome. The peak period for family alliances is between 20 and 30 years old. People who are still unmarried after 30 will be subject to rumors.

Dating and engagement are allowed before the age of 18, but only engagement.

Isabel recommended three noble young ladies from the Kram family to Rino, promising that the two parties could start dating after the age of 18 and get married before the age of 20. Rino would receive a generous dowry from the woman's family.

It should be noted that when officially joining the collection department, Robnos also made a similar promise.

In his promise, the Kram family girls who would marry workers were descendants of retainers and servants, not noble girls with Kram family blood.

Whether or not they have noble blood is key.

Marrying a descendant of a noble means that one foot is in the noble class. As long as one carefully manages connections and resources, the possibility of future generations enjoying a family title as soon as they are born is very high.

There is a saying circulating in the middle and upper nests:

If you want to become a noble, it takes at least three generations of effort.

Rino now meets the basic conditions to become the first generation, which is to make a significant contribution to a certain family as a commoner.

After careful consideration, he politely declined the marriage proposal as a reward.

The reason is that he has found a goal to strive for—serving the benevolent and honorable Lord Fuges.

Flattery will get you everywhere.

Regardless of whether Lord Fuges can hear these words, it's always right to say them.

Delton looked at him with approval, nodded slightly, and did not intervene in the conversation.

Isabel did not force the issue and instead proposed a second reward option—monetary reward.

The currency of the lower nest is ration cards, the currency of the middle and upper nests is credit points, and the currency among nobles is Throne Coins issued by Holy Terra.

The Kram family's reward is 100,000 Throne Coins.

This money will be stored in the Golden Rose Bank, and the account needs to be registered under Rino's name.

According to the exchange rate at the bank counter, 100,000 Throne Coins can be converted into 100 million credit points, or 1 billion ration cards.

As soon as Isabel opened her mouth, Rino was stunned by such a large sum of money.

He had no idea what 100 million credit points could buy, but he deeply understood the terror of 1 billion ration cards.

Once upon a time, he was worried about food and drink, but now he can actually sit on a gold mine!

This sudden sense of happiness is no less than winning the lottery jackpot.

"Madam, are there any restrictions on the use of this money?" Rino forced himself to calm down and asked.

Isabel shook her head:

"The Kram family will not impose restrictions on this money. You only need to open an account at the Golden Rose Bank to receive the money. However, the Governor seems to have other arrangements for you. You may not be able to go to the upper nest to open an account in the short term."

Delton nodded:

"Yes, Rino. We will stay in the lower nest until we catch the progenitor. After completing the task, you will obtain the identity of a resident of the upper nest. Only then will you be able to go to the upper nest with me to report to Lord Fuges and open an account at the Golden Rose Bank."

"Oh, I see." Rino asked thoughtfully:

"May I ask if the Kram family can advance a small portion of the reward?"

Isabel expected Rino to say this and replied with a smile:

"No problem. You can ask me for an advance on the reward at any time. Since you can't leave the lower nest for the time being, I will pay you with ration cards or premium Kram cigars."

Rino looked at Delton, who nodded slightly at him. It seemed that 100,000 Throne Coins was a fair amount.

"Madam, the reward plan sounds good. I'll choose this plan."

With money, he could buy equipment, consumables, and a venue for studying microorganisms. Why not?

"Wait a moment, I'll print the contract."

Isabel stood up and started operating next to the Thinker.

Rino observed the Thinker and secretly clicked his tongue. This kind of thing that acts as a computer is actually made of humans.

A human brain soaked in yellow-green liquid hangs above the screen, connected to components such as a keyboard, screen, and speakers through pipes.

During high-speed calculations, the yellow-green liquid bubbles like boiling water.

The liquid rolled violently for more than ten seconds, and Isabel walked over with the contract.

The contract is used to protect the rights and reputation of both parties.

Once signed, neither party can go back on the contract.

This not only prevents the Kram family from reclaiming the reward, but also prevents Rino from demanding additional rewards.

After signing, Isabel sent the contract to the family headquarters through the capsule pipeline.

The three of them waited on the spot for a while, and the capsule returned to the office.

The contract had the head of the family's autograph.

At this point, the contract was officially declared effective, and Rino could come over to advance part of the reward at any time.

Delton gave a suggestion.

Rino used the data pad to scan the contract and obtain an electronic version of the contract, and stored the physical contract in the Governor's special agent base.

In the future, when asking Isabel for an advance on the reward, he only needs to bring the data pad and the electronic version of the contract, without having to carry the physical contract to avoid damage.

This suggestion was very pertinent, and Rino did as he was told.

In addition, Delton disguised Rino's identity.

Currently, the only people who know that Rino is still alive are Delton, Isabel, and Amy.

Everyone else thought Rino died twenty-five days ago, or had long forgotten him.

Delton also registered a new lower nest resident identity for Rino.

From now on, Rino is an adult named Kang Wen in the eyes of outsiders.

Even if the law enforcers use a scanner to retrieve his identity data, they will only find information about "Kang Wen."

After leaving the cigar factory building with Delton, Rino took a car to the Lower Nest Academy and stopped in front of a mansion with walls and a garden.

"This is where Amy and I live, and it's also the base of the special agent team."

The two got out of the car, and Delton pointed to the access control device on the mansion gate:

"The data pad in your hand can open this door, try it."

Rino walked up, and a button to open the door popped up on the data pad.

Pressing the button, a red beam of light shot out from the access control and scanned Rino's whole body, and the mansion gate opened.

"The area above ground is where Amy and I live, and the area underground is for the special agent team. The underground entrance is here."

After entering the front yard, Delton turned left into the vine-covered corridor, reached out his right hand next to the third pillar, and lifted a curtain with optical camouflage effect.

The pixel image on the surface of the curtain matches the surrounding environment.

When it was lifted, a downward sloping passage appeared in front of him.

At the end of the passage was a gate made of all metal. There was no keyhole or doorknob, only a binocular scanner similar to a telescope.

"When I performed genetic modification on you, I also recorded your iris information. It can be used to open this door."

Rino put his eyes in front of the binocular scanner.

Beep beep beep, scanning completed, the gate opened in response.

The pneumatic device moved the heavy door panel away, and a figure stood in the rock passage behind the door.

When this person saw Delton, he raised his hands in a Sky Eagle salute, his slender legs stretched straight, and his heels slammed together, making a crisp sound.

"Sir."

Rino's gaze fell on this person's feet.

The other party was wearing a pair of cordless high-heeled leather boots, deep black in color, about size 38, which was the pair he saw twenty-five days ago when he was about to pass out.

Delton stepped forward and pressed Rino's shoulder:

"Looks like you remember who she is. That's right, she fired the tranquilizer dart, and she also used the warhead to bounce off your dagger, preventing Robnos from being hit in the vitals."

"Her name is Mona. Before joining the Governor's Guard, she was a sniper in the Planetary Defense Force's Kill Squad, and she is also a legitimate psychic."
