Commendations from humans can also earn simulation points.
This was something Li Nuo hadn't expected.
However, he didn't have time to celebrate.
The simulation just now was the longest to date, lasting about 5 hours.
Most of the time was spent searching the cargo ship, and in the end, he experienced a rather intense ideological struggle.
Although the human body enters deep sleep in the simulation state, and energy and physical strength are restored, the mental aftershocks caused by strong emotional fluctuations will not immediately dissipate.
Li Nuo sat quietly in the study for a while before completely smoothing out the ripples in his heart.
"Brandy, bring me some fruit," Li Nuo ordered, pressing the communication button on the table, then stood up and stretched his muscles.
Brandy knocked on the door, walked in with a fruit plate, gently placed it on the table, and placed her hands folded on her lower abdomen:
"Master, in the past five hours, you have received two communication requests awaiting a return call. The communication nickname of the first one is 'Boss'. I followed your instructions and did not answer this communication request. The other communication request came from Isabel of the Kramm family, who hopes to get your reply as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll check it out."
Li Nuo subconsciously thought that something had gone wrong with the supply of tobacco leaves from the White Fruit Manor, and Isabel wanted to discuss countermeasures with him.
He only discovered after opening the communication recording that Isabel had brought him good news.
After fierce discussions within the Kramm family, the conservative faction represented by Isabel finally won a difficult victory.
The radical faction advocated all-in on Ghost Potion, pouring the entire family's resources into cultivating Ghost Mushrooms.
This faction lost narrowly in the family's internal voting meeting due to its smaller number of people.
However, the narrow defeat of the radical faction does not mean that the Kramm family will not bet on Ghost Potion, it's just that the resource allocation will not exceed 50% of the available resources.
But no matter what, Isabel has retained her existing family resources, and has also received an additional investment due to the hot sales of White Ridge Cigarettes.
"Li Nuo, it would be best if we could meet at White Fruit Manor in the next day or two. I hope to expand the planting area of White Ridge tobacco leaves and seize more of the Under-Nest market as soon as possible."
Expand production?
That's rare.
Instead of following the trend of planting Ghost Mushrooms when everyone is optimistic about them, she is increasing the production capacity of tobacco leaves.
This kind of courage to increase production against the trend is worthy of praise.
The current planting area of White Fruit Manor is only one-fifth of its peak.
Large tracts of land have been abandoned due to years of poor harvests. The manor only needs to recruit people and plow and sow to make use of this part of the idle land.
Li Nuo tapped the table with his fingertips, calculating the profit distribution and risk allocation plan after the new production capacity is put into production.
The more income Isabel creates for the family, the higher her status in the family and the greater her say.
In the future, if he wants to enter the fields of grain processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or even genetic engineering, he will definitely need resources and network support.
Isabel is undoubtedly a suitable partner.
Not only must this line be maintained, but also appropriate additional investment must be made to further consolidate the relationship of interests between himself and the other party.
Also, don't forget the irrigation water.
While White Light Manor is expanding production, the production capacity of the Lower Nest Water Purification Plant must also keep up.
Li Nuo edited a short message and sent it to Isabel, and agreed to meet the next morning.
After eating the fruit plate in a few bites, Li Nuo asked Brandy to take the plate out and close the door again.
After Brandy walked away, Li Nuo took out his agent datapad, clicked on the communication code of Commander Delton, and sent a communication request.
All communication codes with nickname annotations are Governor's Agents.
Delton's communication nickname is "Boss".
Li Nuo specifically emphasized to Brandy that if she encounters a phone call with a communication code, do not answer it, just let it hang up by itself.
"Commander," Li Nuo stood up and gave a double-eagle salute.
Delton's holographic half-body image shot out from the datapad, hovering on the table.
He was wearing a light gray pinstripe shirt and a burgundy vest, with a cigarette in his mouth, sitting in front of The Thinker and typing on the keyboard, seemingly very busy:
"Kang Wen, sit down and talk, no need to be so formal. You haven't read the news today, have you?"
"Yes, Commander, I've been busy lately," Li Nuo sat down and asked, "Is something big happening?"
"That's natural. Since the cleanup operation ended, the Hive City has become more and more lively," Delton called up the Hive City news on the holographic screen:
"See the news headline? In six days, the Upper Hive's First District will hold a grand three-day banquet. At that time, many extraterrestrial guests will come to the Hive City to be guests, and Ghost Mushrooms will be auctioned live every night."
Li Nuo understood a little:
"Commander, do you need manpower to maintain order at the banquet?"
"You're quick to react, that's right. However, I now have a second idea," Delton took the cigarette from his mouth, exhaled a puff of smoke, squinted at the label on the cigarette and asked:
"The tobacco leaves for White Ridge Cigarettes are produced by the manor under your name, right?"
"Your news is really well-informed," Li Nuo smiled, "I'll bring you two cartons next time."
"Haha, no need. Few agents have a talent for business, and I just happen to be lacking talent in this area."
Delton laughed, flicked the cigarette ash, and continued to puff out smoke:
"I originally wanted to call you back to watch over the banquet with Wick and the others. After seeing your achievements in the business field, I changed my mind. I'll get you an invitation to the banquet. In six days, you will attend the banquet as an extraterrestrial guest, approach the invited guests of the banquet, and help me find out what they think."
Extraterrestrial guests are Imperial citizens from outside the planet, generally interstellar merchants, Rogue Traders, Imperial Army representatives, Legion representatives, and delegations from other Imperial worlds.
Delton sent a document to Li Nuo's agent datapad:
"Here is all the information about the new identity, familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible. Before the banquet starts, come to me, and I will contact you then."
"Yes, Commander," Li Nuo glanced at the document on the datapad, "May I ask, what is my mission objective?"
Delton paused his keyboard tapping, crossed his arms and pondered for a few seconds before saying:
"Your mission objective is to find out which Imperial worlds the local Coin Guild buys corpses from, and which extraterrestrial guests are doing business with the Binis family."
Li Nuo nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, I understand."
Delton said in surprise, "You don't seem surprised at all? Do you know about the corpse trade?"
"Yes, Isabel of the Kramm family told me."
Delton raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Oh:".
"So that's how it is. Back then, I used the Kramm Cigarette Factory's special medical room to give you genetic modification, which seems to have indirectly promoted your deep friendship with Isabel. Hmm...not bad."
Li Nuo couldn't tell whether the other party was teasing or sighing, so he could only maintain an awkward but polite smile.
The two talked about some things related to the mission.
Before hanging up the communication, Li Nuo asked:
"Commander, would you like to invest in White Fruit Manor? Recent events have made me realize that there is strength in numbers. White Fruit Manor's background is too weak. Relying on me alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the big storms ahead."
Delton slowly exhaled smoke, his eyes flashing rapidly:
"Invest in the manor under your name? ...It's possible, but it has to be in Amy's name."
Speaking of Amy, Li Nuo's eyes flashed with her cute face. He didn't know how she was doing in the experimental department of the Kramm Cigarette Factory.
Delton reached out and pressed the button to hang up the communication:
"I'll send you Amy's private communication code, you two can discuss it yourself. I'll pay for the investment, and Amy will be responsible for signing."
"Okay, Commander."
The communication ended.
Delton sent Amy's private communication code.
Li Nuo did not immediately call Amy.
It's almost midnight now. According to Amy's daily routine, she should already be in bed sleeping.
Li Nuo stood up, washed up, and went to sleep.
When he lay down on the bed, he recalled the many shortcomings in his previous simulation, and gradually fell asleep in the process of reviewing.
The next day.
A conclusion was reached on the expansion of White Fruit Manor.
Increase capital and expand shares, subscribe for equity, upgrade production capacity.
All matters require Li Nuo's participation.
For this reason, he was working non-stop.
This world suffers both from scarcity and inequality.
Since some of the manor's shares will be distributed to Amy in the future, then everyone must be treated equally. Some should also be distributed to Isabel, so as to avoid invisible cracks in the cooperative relationship.
Li Nuo plans to discuss the matter of equity participation with Amy after the new production capacity of White Fruit Manor is implemented, based on the expected revenue.
After three consecutive days of high-intensity work, a rigorous expansion plan was discussed.
Half a day later, the agreement was signed.
Li Nuo's shareholding ratio dropped from 71% to 63%, Isabel's shareholding ratio reached 11%, the White Fruit family's shareholding ratio dropped from 20% to 17%, and the employee shareholding remained unchanged at 9%.
It is expected that all expansion projects will be completed within one month, and the results will be seen on the 15th day after the expansion is completed.
During this month, the manor's water consumption will gradually increase to five times the current amount.
This means that the water purification capacity of the Lower Nest Water Purification Plant must also be increased fivefold.
With the expansion settled, Li Nuo rushed to the Lower Nest Water Purification Plant, pulling Laiya into a frantic overtime session. Finally, on the evening two days before the banquet, they completed the initial改造 of the water purification plant.
The daily water purification volume of the plant doubled, reaching 30,000 cubic meters per day.
For the next half month, the daily supply of 30,000 cubic meters could meet the daily consumption of the manor.
However, this would not be sufficient after half a month.
Laiya couldn't handle it alone; 30,000 cubic meters of purified water per day was her limit.
Li Nuo had to find a way to improve efficiency or find her some trustworthy helpers.
"Laiya, any news about Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang recently?"
In the休息室 of the water purification plant, the two sat at the table eating dinner, which consisted of mushroom soup, mushroom cakes, grilled mushrooms, and mushroom dip.
The rat-rats had disappeared without a trace since they went to the shelter.
They also took away the germ罐头弥弥弥弥教给的.
Li Nuo and Laiya both cared about them.
When Laiya had time, she would go to that alley to take a look, searching for the meeting marks left by the rat-rats.
"No news. Alas, I don't know where they went. Could they have been killed by the Hunter Earl in the cleaning operation?"
Laiya was a little depressed, worried about the rat-rats' disappearance.
Li Nuo shook his head slightly, denying this guess.
The rat-rats did not appear in the cleaning operation; Li Nuo was sure of that.
Since there was no news about Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang, he would change his approach to improve the efficiency of the water purification plant.
The orcs' mechanical witchcraft could create mechanical devices without machine spirits.
These mechanical devices wouldn't cause small emotional problems like the creations of the Machine God Sect.
He should find an opportunity to use mechanical witchcraft to改造 the water purification plant and increase the water purification volume to a level comparable to the manor's water consumption as soon as possible.
These things might have to wait until after the banquet to be executed.
Speaking of the banquet, Li Nuo thought of the business spy he had killed.
Those who had contact with the spy should appear at this banquet.
At that time, he would have to carefully observe their condition to avoid being unaware that he was in a place rife with Drinkers of Bones.
After eating and drinking his fill, Li Nuo took the remaining food waste out to throw away and returned to the Upper Nest to rest.
After a night, it was the day before the banquet began.
Li Nuo got up early and devoted himself to familiarizing himself with the work of his mission identity.
He repeatedly practiced in front of the mirror in the study, integrating every detail of his mission identity into his body, forcing himself to temporarily change many habitual movements and instinctive reactions.
After spending the whole day like this, the banquet was about to be held.
The salon session of the banquet was from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and the auction of幽灵蘑菇 would begin after 8:00 PM.
Just after eating breakfast in the morning, Li Nuo received a communication request.
It wasn't from Delton, but from Isabel and the water merchant Irene, both of whom intended to invite Li Nuo to the banquet under the guise of accompaniment.
Li Nuo had a mission, so he could only politely refuse.
Just after hanging up the two ladies' calls, Delton's communication came through.
"Almost ready, Conwen? I'll drive to your place in 10 minutes."
"Okay, sir."
Li Nuo changed into casual clothes and waited on the first floor.
An unmarked black transport vehicle stopped at the door.
After getting in the car, Li Nuo saw the driver, who was none other than his superior, Delton.
"I'm going to act with you on this mission."
Delton's words were astonishing.
He took out a marble-sized bead from his pocket:
"Put the communication rosary in your ear. From now on, all our private communications will be conducted on the encrypted channel of the communication rosary."
Li Nuo took the bead, and an instinctive reaction emerged in his body, guiding him to turn his head to the side, right ear facing up, and insert the bead into his ear.
A faint electric current passed through, and a tingling sensation was transmitted from the cochlea to the brain.
"The password to enable encrypted communication is 'Conwen' and 'Sir'. The communication rosary will recognize the sentences and automatically turn off encrypted communication. Let's test the effect."
Delton paused for a moment and said:
"Conwen, can you hear me?"
Delton, sitting in the driver's seat, made an extremely soft sound, but the sound that rang in Li Nuo's mind was very clear.
This was the wonder of the communication rosary.
It could transform whispers like the fluttering of mosquito wings into intracranial speech that the wearer could clearly hear, with its own sound pickup and noise reduction functions, and extremely strong anti-interference capabilities.
"Sir, I can hear you."
Li Nuo responded in a similarly faint voice.
"Okay, Conwen, listen carefully to what I'm about to say."
Delton manipulated the transport vehicle to drive on the street:
"The extraterrestrial guest you are going to play is an interstellar merchant from Terra. I am also going to play such a character. We met at the last stop and decided to come to the banquet together. We need to find opportunities to approach the following people…"
Delton narrated his arrangements, which differed greatly from the mission information Li Nuo had previously obtained.
After the other party finished speaking, Li Nuo asked:
"Sir, why do I feel like you decided to participate in the mission on a whim?"
"Your feeling is correct. I just received news that illegal merchants engaged in cold trade have replaced some extraterrestrial guests' invitation slots. I have to keep an eye on the scene and find these illegal merchants as soon as possible."
Delton's tone was森然, like a sharp blade waiting to be unleashed in its鞘.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was still a distance from the destination, he introduced "cold trade" to Li Nuo.
Of course, as a Cloud Hammer, Li Nuo had some knowledge of "cold trade".
In short, this was an illegal trade chain engaged in alien transactions.
On this trade chain, buyers, sellers, and middlemen may be aliens, and what they buy and sell are alien technological products, cultural relics, antiques, and even aliens themselves.
The朦胧星域 is the星域 where the Eye of Terror is located, chaotic, with orcs,灵族, human pirates emerging one after another, and混沌势力出没.
In this day and age, the Empire adheres to the "Imperial Truth" and does not associate Chaos Demons with "gods", but merely regards them as a type of "alien".
Within the朦胧星域, cold trade is rampant, like a stubborn disease of the Empire, which was not eradicated until the 40k era.
His superior was quite capable, even receiving intelligence from the朦胧星域, it seemed his methods were not simple.
The transport vehicle drove into the伏盖斯 family's winery, which was both a place to produce wine and a place to hold banquets.
The car stopped, and the two entered the carriage of the transport vehicle to change clothes.
Fake skin changed their faces, artificial skin and fillers changed their body shape, eye color was adjusted with contact lenses, swallowing compounds changed their timbre, and clothes and jewelry were changed to Terra human style.
In this way, two interstellar merchants who had accumulated some capital were invited to attend the banquet.
They arrived at the main entrance of the banquet hall through a secret passage and greeted the extraterrestrial guests排队 entering the banquet hall in a proper manner.
A group of young aristocratic young masters guarded the door, representing various hive families to receive distinguished guests, fully expressing the local forces' enthusiasm and hospitality.
Li Nuo saw several familiar faces among them, but at this time he could only pretend to be meeting them for the first time and talk to them.
The son of the chief merchant representative, Hakas Pinnis, and the 伏盖斯 family's Osger斯 were also on the scene.
Li Nuo used appraisal techniques combined with the naked eye to observe, but did not see anything unusual about these two people.
Just as he was about to enter the banquet hall with Delton, Hakas and Osger斯's bodyguards ran from a distance, looking a little flustered.
Hakas's bodyguard貼在小主人 ear and whispered, Osger斯 heard only a few words beside him, his face also darkened, and he could only force a smile in front of the guests, pretending to be calm.
Li Nuo was a little curious, opened the system interface, and activated菌 ability - Vibration Induction.
A large amount of audio information poured into his mind.
Li Nuo walked behind Delton, enduring the discomfort, and carefully listened to Hakas and the bodyguard's whispers.
