I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer

Mona?

A nice name, I wonder if it's her real one.

Li Nuo's gaze moved upward, catching sight of Mona's face, and he sighed inwardly.

It truly is a nice name, a pity about the disfigurement.

Mona's left eye and the left half of her forehead seemed to have been corroded by a strong acid, the surface covered in twisted, centipede-like patterns, appearing dark red.

Apart from this area, the rest of her face was flawless, her skin smooth and radiant, without wrinkles or scars.

If she were to cover the skin around her left eye with her hair or an eye patch, Mona could definitely be considered a beauty.

But she didn't do that, nor did she use surgery to repair the disfigured area.

Li Nuo nodded secretly, guessing that the disfigured area had a special meaning for Mona, which was why she didn't hide it at all and kept it as it was.

"Hello, Mona, I am Kang Wen."

"Hello."

Mona responded coldly, her brown eyes devoid of emotional fluctuations, her lips thin like paper, exuding an aura of 'keep away' from every angle.

Delton patted Li Nuo's shoulder:

"Mona will guide you through the onboarding process for a probationary agent. She will also explain the plan to capture the Primeval. I have something to attend to, I'll leave first."

"Goodbye, sir," Li Nuo said simply.

Mona gave another Aquila salute, watching Delton leave.

As the sound of footsteps faded away, Mona turned and stepped into the underground passage behind the door, "Follow me, don't fall behind."

Li Nuo followed closely behind, the gate closing automatically.

The two walked one in front of the other, without a word.

The underground passage was full of traps, and every so often they would encounter gates that required iris scans, voiceprints, and data slate authorization.

After turning several right-angled bends, Li Nuo reached the end.

The base's architectural layout resembled the shape of the Chinese character '回' (hui).

In the middle was an artificial garden, located on the fifth underground floor of the base, surrounded by semi-open corridors and staircases.

When entering the base from the surface, one would arrive at the first underground floor.

Looking down from the corridor railing at this moment, one could see the shrubs and flowerbeds of the artificial garden.

A Tech-Priest, surrounded by two servo-skulls, was pruning branches in the artificial garden.

After noticing the gaze from above, he raised his head and scanned Li Nuo with his bionic eye, raising a servo-arm and waving it a few times, as if to say hello.

Mona said from the side:

"That is Tutkali, the Tech-Priest of the agent team, with double degrees in transmission mechanics and artificing, currently writing his graduation thesis on gene-smithing. His thesis topic focuses on bridging the gap in bio-modification technology between different tech-sects."

The Adeptus Mechanicus' promotions and degrees are related; the more degrees one has, the higher the status.

Generally speaking, a Tech-Priest who masters three disciplines can be called a Sage, while one who specializes in one and has outstanding achievements is an Expert in that discipline.

There are fewer Experts than Sages.

The status of Sages and Experts is equal, and both are worthy of respect.

Tutkali is taking the Sage route, which is the path chosen by most talented Tech-Priests.

"Follow me, let's go down."

Mona activated the vertical elevator with her data slate, bringing Li Nuo to the artificial garden on the fifth underground floor.

The garden had a wide variety of plants, many of which were sealed in cultivation tanks, enjoying carefully adjusted lighting and humidity.

As Li Nuo walked, he cast Appraisal, discovering that most of the plants here came from other regions, not native species of the Eighth Underhive District.

"Hello, Kang Wen," Tutkali said, approaching Li Nuo with a standard electronic voice.

He transcribed binary data into Low Gothic, emitting it through his throat, which had been modified into a sound array device:

"Your identity information has been recorded, registered as // / Trusted Personnel / / Probationary Agent / / Newbie. The following permissions have been granted to you / / / 5 minutes of casual chat per day / / 3 free consultations per day / / 1 free repair per day / / / Unlimited time and number of times for the above items when paying. Please provide a reply / / / Voice / / Gesture / / Text are all acceptable."

Li Nuo tried to understand Tutkali's meaning, and nodded, "Yes, I understand. I can chat with you for 5 minutes every day, ask you 3 free questions, and have you repair something for free once. If I am willing to pay, then these items are unlimited in time and number of times. Is that right?"

"Answer is correct = Intelligence is normal = Commander Delton's assessment of you is trustworthy. Glory / / Eternal return to the Vaughes family. Farewell."

Tutkali turned and left, continuing to prune flowers.

His original arms were replaced by prosthetics, and he had a servo-arm on his back, his back hunched high, like an old man carrying a tortoise shell.

Like other Tech-Priests, Tutkali wore a red robe to cover his body, which had undergone multiple rounds of mechanization.

Mona pointed to the corridor entrance next to her, "Follow me, I'll take you to sign in."

Li Nuo and Mona left the garden and arrived at a room where a Cogitator and a conference table were placed.

Mona taught Li Nuo how to use the Cogitator and introduced the situation in the base.

Lord Vaughes has nine guard companies, seven of which are stationed in the Upper Hive, providing all-round protection for Vaughes.

The eighth guard company is supervising the Planetary Defense Force.

The ninth guard company is the agent team, responsible for monitoring the Middle and Lower Hives.

Delton is the commander of the agent team, reporting directly to the Governor.

The total number of agents is unknown, mainly distributed in various areas of the Middle and Lower Hives.

The newest and fastest novels are first published on 69shuba.com!

This base is the agent's foothold in the Lower Hive.

After arriving, agents must first complete the check-in process and then submit their time reports for the past period.

After completing these two steps, agents can enjoy free room and board within the base.

How long an agent can rest in the base and when they must leave is determined by Delton.

Delton will issue formal mission orders to the agents through the Cogitator, requiring the agents to complete them within a time limit and report to the designated location.

After Li Nuo completed the check-in, a task list appeared on his data slate, the content of which was to capture the Primeval in the Eighth District alive.

Information related to the task also appeared on the data slate.

As of now, it can only be determined that at least one Primeval is disguised as a civilian and hiding in the Eighth District, and the specific number and location of the Primeval cannot be determined.

The mission started while Li Nuo was unconscious, and there are 19 days left until the deadline.

Capturing one Primeval alive is enough to report to the Governor.

There are eight agents executing this mission.

Apart from Mona and himself, the other six are on duty outside and are not in the base.

In addition, the data slate is connected to the Enforcer Department's database in the hive.

If the Enforcers discover the whereabouts of the Primeval, they will transmit the coordinates to the database as soon as possible, and then the database will synchronize them to the agent's data slate.

With the joint efforts of the agents and the Enforcers, it should not be difficult to find the Primeval, whether or not they can be captured alive depends on the level of the agents.

Li Nuo was thinking about whether to go find the Primeval's whereabouts now and take the opportunity to pre-spend the bonus.

But Mona took him to the training room and asked him to unbutton his shirt.

"You haven't completed your gene modification for long, and you need to adapt to the strength of your body as soon as possible."

Mona threw the dark blue Planetary Defense Force uniform on the hanger, wore a military green tough-woman vest, tied her long hair tightly with a hair tie, and took two broadswords that had been sharpened.

Li Nuo looked at the cold light on the blade and couldn't help swallowing:

"Uh… Are you trying to help me adapt to my modified body in a confrontation? Isn't it necessary to use real swords? Will it cause casualties?"

Mona threw the broadsword in her left hand to Li Nuo and said coldly:

"If you're afraid of death, don't do this job."

Okay, this is reverse psychology, I understand… Li Nuo grabbed the broadsword and weighed it in his hand.

His strength had increased a lot, and the broadsword felt as light as a toothpick. Li Nuo gained a little more confidence.

He nodded to Mona's gaze and said:

"Then let's try it. I also want to know how strong my current body is."

Mona rushed up with her sword:

"Don't hold back, let me see where your limit is."
