I cultivate mushrooms in warhammer
#63 - Meeting with the Governor (Additional chapter 34)
On the way back to the base, Li Nuo sat in the driver's seat of the transport vehicle, with Talenso, who was driving, next to him.
Talenso tilted his head, a smile spreading across the few remaining fleshy parts of his face:
"I still remember your miraculous healing skills. You have to help a brother out when I'm in trouble in the future. I'll treat you to some fun in the Upper Hive then, all expenses paid."
The medic profession is popular everywhere... Li Nuo scanned the other man's body, which was more metal than flesh, and joked with a smile:
"I can't guarantee that my medical psionics will work on you. Maybe I'll have to add some incense and holy oil during the treatment."
Talenso's eyes lit up, emitting two excited red glows:
"Incense and holy oil? Are you saying you'll treat someone as mechanized as me like a machine, using the Mechanicus's ritual to appease the machine spirit with a massage? That's a good idea, it could be a business opportunity. There are many machine fanatics in the Upper Hive who might go for it. I suddenly want to open a machine-themed massage parlor..."
"Wait," Li Nuo looked at Talenso speechlessly, "You're not really planning to promote this massage service in the Upper Hive, are you?"
"Yeah, I don't think there's a problem, making money isn't shameful," Talenso said, full of indifference.
Li Nuo gently rubbed his forehead:
"Have you thought about what would happen if the Mechanicus found out about this? Those oil-obsessed guys might come and tear down your shop."
Li Nuo's words had the opposite effect, and Talenso became even more excited after hearing them.
"Wow, your idea is amazing. Mechanical massage, incense appeasement, holy oil back rub, touching taboos, these four elements together, just thinking about it is exciting."
Talenso twisted his waist excitedly, his body suddenly shuddered violently, and he let out a long sigh:
"Oh--yeah---"
Li Nuo was so frightened that he clung to the car door, looking horrified:
"You... you just now didn't...?"
Talenso's voice became slightly lower, like a wise sage, or as if he was savoring some experience that was about to pass away:
"Yes, yes, I modified part of my system, replacing them with special hormone pumps and nerve-sensing pistons. When I more deeply understand the true meaning of the machine, the hormone pump will inject me with a certain substance, allowing my feelings with the machine spirit to reach a climax."
Li Nuo was dumbfounded and didn't speak for a long time.
Talenso glanced at Li Nuo and laughed, "Look at you, you bumpkin."
Li Nuo twitched the corner of his mouth with a fake smile.
He really wanted to find a veteran Warhammer 40k player to ask if Talenso's behavior was heretical enough...
Chatting all the way, the base was close at hand.
The transport vehicle drove into the base through the vehicle-only underground entrance.
Agent escorted Princeton to the base of the cage.
Tutel Kalli priest of Princeton for inspection, confirmed that this person is a father.
As a result, the agents' mission was officially declared a success.
The crowd held a short but solemn funeral for the two agents who sacrificed themselves in the base. Delton promised to personally comfort the families of the deceased agents and give generous compensation.
After the funeral, Delton did not give a long speech for the mission, but took out the Upper Hive's pass and distributed it, using practical actions to celebrate for the agents:
"Everyone, now take your passes and go to the Upper Hive to relax. The Governor's basic reward has been sent to your data pads, stored in an anonymous account bound to the data pads. Before the cleaning operation starts, I will contact you through the data pads. During this time, you can relax as much as you want, but don't affect the subsequent missions. Do you all understand?"
"Yes, sir~~"
"I can't wait to taste the iced Old Fuzz. This damn Lower Hive can't even find a good iced alcoholic beverage."
"I want to buy a box of ant-cow canned meat to taste the saltiness."
"Go to hell, don't let the ant-cow canned meat taste your saltiness at that time."
The agents were laughing and joking, the atmosphere was harmonious, and even Mona, who had always been unsmiling, had a slight smile on her face.
Talenso hooked Li Nuo's shoulder and said with a smile:
"Let's go, Kang Wen, I'll take you to the Upper Hive to see the world. If no one leads the way, a newbie like you will definitely be eaten clean by those slippery old ladies, with your pockets cleaner than your face."
"Talenso is unreliable most of the time, but I quite agree with this sentence." Wick walked over and poked Li Nuo's arm with his elbow:
"Now that you have a lot of money in your hands, it's best to let Talenso and me keep an eye on you, so you don't get tricked out of everything by the flamboyant Upper Hive social butterflies."
Gerald and Craig, the two male agents, were not very familiar with Li Nuo, but at this time they also showed a look of deep agreement.
Mona was listening beside them.
When Li Nuo's gaze swept over, Mona nodded and said softly:
"Wick is right. Try not to act alone in the Upper Hive. The water there is very deep, with nobles, wealthy merchants, and extraterrestrial visitors everywhere. The identity of a Governor's agent is really nothing."
Okay.
It seems that the agents have all suffered in the Upper Hive, otherwise, their opinions would not be so unified.
I really have to be careful and not let my guard down just because I'm about to enter the seemingly civilized and decent Upper Hive.
"Everyone, I have something to discuss with Kang Wen, he will contact you later," Delton came to the crowd, put his left hand in his pocket, and beckoned to Li Nuo with his right hand:
"Come with me, the Governor wants to see you."
Talenso patted Li Nuo's shoulder, "Seeing the Governor is important, you go first. Contact us anytime if you need anything."
"Okay, see you later."
Li Nuo nodded to the agents and followed Delton to the depths of the base.
He thought that Delton would take him to the office and communicate with the Governor remotely using the Thinker and the Sound Array device.
Who would have thought that Delton would lead him around seven turns and eight turns, and enter a lift hidden in the wall.
"Sir, is the Governor going to see me in person?" Li Nuo asked doubtfully:
"Then do I have to change my clothes first? This Lower Hive worker's uniform is probably not suitable."
Delton waved his hand:
"It doesn't matter, the Governor is kind and benevolent and won't mind this. What he wants to see is the most authentic you, not a craft that has been packaged layer by layer."
Li Nuo did not hear the hidden meaning in Delton's words and simply responded.
The gate of the elevator closed, and the box rose rapidly in the vertical shaft, the altitude on the screen rising.
One hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters... one thousand meters, the elevator leaves the lower nest area.
Two thousand meters, three thousand meters, four thousand meters, five thousand meters.
The elevator vertically passes through the entire middle nest. Li Nuo's vision is blocked by the walls of the shaft, preventing him from seeing the scenery of the middle nest.
When the altitude exceeds the five-thousand-meter mark, the concrete walls of the shaft suddenly switch to viewing glass.
A magnificent panorama of the upper nest floods into Li Nuo's mind, and his pupils involuntarily dilate.
This is a Gothic-style garden world, like a romantic scroll from the Middle Ages.
The city's skyline is outlined by towering Gothic buildings, with pointed arches, flying buttresses, and large stained-glass windows shining under the artificial moonlight.
Artificial gardens are visible everywhere in the city, meticulously maintained, with colorful flowers swaying gently in the evening breeze.
This place is a completely different world from the lower nest.
The gap between the two is so great that Li Nuo cannot find a suitable adjective for a while, and can only constantly say "fuck" in his heart.
When the elevator rises to a height of more than six thousand meters, with a ding, the elevator stops and the door behind it opens.
Delton snaps his fingers:
"Let's go, this is the Royal Court District of the upper nest, the highest point of the First District. After you meet the Governor with me, you will have plenty of time to admire the scenery of Epitome's upper nest."
Li Nuo comes back to his senses, takes one last glance at the night view outside the window, reluctantly turns his head, and follows Delton out of the elevator.
Outside the door is a corridor paved with deep red carpet. The two-story walls are hung with Epitome's local famous paintings and animal specimens. The decoration style is luxurious and elegant.
Delton takes out the data pad and glances at it, lowering his voice:
"The Governor happens to be free now, we will go directly to his reception room."
"Yes, sir."
The two successively turn several right-angle bends and stop in front of a gate guarded by armed personnel.
A member of the Governor's Guard wearing carapace armor is on duty at the door.
The latest and most complete novels are available at Liu Jiu Shu Ba!
"Delton, the Governor is on the phone, you two wait at the door for a while."
The person at the door knows Delton, whispers a greeting, and then turns his head to observe Li Nuo, two bionic eyes flashing rapidly:
"You are Kang Wen? That lower nest psychic? Although Delton vouched for you, you can go in to see the Governor, but I will be watching you."
Li Nuo's expression remains unchanged, he nods in response, without saying much.
On the way here, Delton introduced that those responsible for protecting the Governor are the Governor's Guards numbered 1 to 7, collectively known as the Imperial Guard or the Household Guard.
The smaller the numerical designation of the guard, the closer the guard member is to the Governor.
Guard No. 1 is inseparable from the Governor and is defined as the Governor's personal guard.
They all possess the direct bloodline of the Voges family and share a bond of mutual benefit and loss with the Voges Lord, and are therefore extremely loyal.
Therefore, there is no need to care about their attitude, they have this expression towards everyone except the Governor.
"The Governor wants Kang Wen to go in alone. Delton, you wait here."
The Governor's personal guard steps aside, presses the laser rifle in front of his chest with his right hand, and pushes the door open with his left hand.
Li Nuo takes a deep breath, steps into the door, and the door behind him closes silently.
Looking up ahead, the first thing that catches his eye is the huge floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the city.
A stout figure is swinging a golf club by the window, surrounded by holographic equipment projecting a lawn.
A servo skull picks up a towel with a mechanical claw and sends it over.
The figure by the window wipes his sweat and looks at the door with an amiable smile:
"Come, Li Nuo, come over, let me see if you have any talent in swinging the club."
Swing the club?
Li Nuo is stunned for a moment and quickly walks over.
The servo skull floats over carrying the golf club, and Li Nuo takes the club smoothly.
Are we really going to play golf?
Hmm... it feels like when the tutor took us to play basketball before the transmigration. In the end, everyone on the court was passing the ball frantically to the tutor, so that he could keep shooting and score more points.
The Governor should want to show me the charm of golf, and by the way, reap my words of praise.
This is a common routine to test loyalty.
I have to think in advance about the words to praise him, it must be the kind that is just right and does not seem blatant.
Li Nuo thinks quickly.
Voges gives an order to the servo skull with a gesture.
Another holographic image is projected, providing Li Nuo with a place to swing the club.
Ordinary holographic imaging has a drawback, that is, once a person walks into it, it will block part of the beam, causing a piece of the holographic image to be missing.
Voges's holographic equipment is extraordinary.
Not only is the imaging incredibly realistic, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, but it also does not block the beam.
When Li Nuo steps into it, the lawn created by the holographic projection is still as complete as ever.
Even the blades of grass under his feet bend because of his stepping on them.
"Come, stand next to me, I will teach you how to swing the club."
Voges teaches Li Nuo how to hit the ball and exert force again and again.
It is as if he called Li Nuo in front of him just to impart the skill of golf.
Before long, Li Nuo begins to practice on his own, while Voges casually finds some topics to chat with him about.
The content of the topic starts from the life in the lower nest, talks about the feeling of first seeing the upper nest, and gradually turns to the vision of the nest city and the human empire.
Voges supports the club and asks with a smile:
"Li Nuo, suppose you have the opportunity to communicate with our Majesty face to face, what would you like to say to him?"
Voges raises his hand to stop Li Nuo from speaking:
"What I want to hear is not the entries in the textbooks of the Lower Nest Academy, but your true thoughts. Don't rush to answer me, think carefully before telling me your answer."
Voges winks and smiles lightly:
"Doesn't Delton know how to observe micro-expressions? I can too. I can tell whether your answer is your true intention or not. If what you say is not your true words, I won't buy it."
Ah, this.
What is this about?
Li Nuo is a little dumbfounded.
Is it really okay to say Emperor's secrets behind his back?
I'm afraid that in the next second, a golden palm will come from the void and flatten both of us.
If you, the Governor, don't want to do it, there are people outside who want to do it, don't take me with you when you're courting death.
