New 3.0 Version Update, There's a Fountain Now
Upgrading the Imperial Glory was listed as a priority by Qin Yun.
He ordered his men to inventory the metal reserves of the Forge World Las for the Xi Ling to devour.
The members of the Adeptus Mechanicus, including Magos Morio, had considerable objections to Qin Yun's order.
They believed that the Xi Ling were creations of heretical technology.
As an emissary of Omnissiah, one should be wary of her.
However, when Qin Yun shared the Pharos Beacon technology and Gauss Rifle craftsmanship in the name of Xi Ling,
And when promising to provide more new technologies in the future,
They then changed their tune, claiming that Xi Ling was also a sacred Machine Spirit blessed by Omnissiah and should not be rejected.
A massive amount of metal materials were inventoried from Forge World Las.
They were then transported by airships to the Imperial Glory in near-Earth orbit, where they were loaded onto truckloads and sent into the roaring core of the furnace, where they were devoured by the Xi Ling.
A hazy glow flowed along the cables and steel structure.
Reshape and modify their features to upgrade the entire ship.
After the last upgrade, the Imperial Glory is now a 12-kilometer battleship.
This time, with the supply of massive resources from the Forge World Las,
The Imperial Glory was upgraded into a large battleship with a range of 24 kilometers, comparable to the Gloriana-class Battleship.
If a professional cyclist were to ride aboard the Imperial Glory at 25 kilometers per hour,
No braking or slowing down throughout the entire process.
It takes almost an hour to ride from the bow to the stern of the boat.
As the size of the warship increased, the various systems on the Imperial Glory were also upgraded.
The size and number of the Macro-cannon arranged on both sides of the ship have increased.
The largest of these Macro-cannon was even more outrageous.
It is large enough to accommodate a small frigate.
The ram below the bow became much larger, and at full acceleration, it could easily ram an enemy ship in two.
The array of Nova Cannon and Lance Battery in the midsection of the bow has been enhanced, making it easy to penetrate the shields of small battleships.
On the flank of the ship, a blade-shaped structure extends downwards, housing the secondary main guns and torpedo tubes.
At the bottom, there is also a spaceport for escort frigates and fighter squadrons to dock and be maintained.
In addition to the comprehensive upgrades to these visible areas,
The ship's fire control system and Auspex array have also been fully upgraded.
It can allocate firepower more precisely.
The detection range and types are also more extensive.
The most crucial Beacon to version 2.0 allows players to restore health and dispel negative status effects.
More importantly, the Beacon has a wider coverage area and can run in Multi-threading.
The 1.0 version of the Beacon could only communicate one-to-one; it could only communicate with the planet it pointed to.
Other planets, on the other hand, need to wait for the Beacon to point them to them.
Version 2.0 of the Beacon does not require this; it can point to multiple targets simultaneously.
Upgraded to version 2.0, the Beacon requires only one unit to allow the will of the Xi Ling to cover the Calixis Sector, as well as the Koronus Expanse, the Scarus Sector, the Ixaniad Sector, and even extend to the boundary of the Halo Stars.
This expands the players' activity radius.
In the future, by simply building a few more Beacon in other areas of the Milky Way, the entire Milky Way can be covered, allowing players to freely travel throughout the Milky Way.
Its connections with other Beacon are also closer, enabling real-time communication regardless of time, space, and Warp Storm.
Magos Morio and the numerous priests watched in stunned silence as the Imperial Glory was promoted.
"I always thought that after living for so long, I had seen all sorts of strange and wonderful things. Only today did I realize that the vastness of the Hall of Truth is beyond my imagination. I have never seen anything like it before."
Magos Morio felt at one point that the core of his logic was about to overload and burn out.
After a period of intense, almost brain-burning thinking...
He came to a conclusion that is very much in line with the logic of reality.
"It must be the power of Omnissiah that could create such a miracle."
Representatives from the Adeptus Titanicus, Knight Houses, the Imperial Navy, the Ecclesiarchy, and other forces witnessed this scene and were all shocked.
They prayed to the Emperor, marveling at his supreme power.
On the other side, the Farseer Kasareth and many Aeldari who accompanied the expedition also witnessed the upgrade of the Imperial Glory, and were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
"The power of the C'tan is terrifying; he can upgrade a warship in such a short time using only raw materials."
That mythical era has been gone for far too long.
Even though the lifespan of the Aeldari is extremely long, it's impossible for them to live that long.
The Aeldari are active today all know about the C'tan from those ancient texts.
The C'tan once waged a great war against the Old Ones, the creators of the Aeldari.
Ultimately, both sides suffered heavy losses.
The Aeldari seized the opportunity to rise and replace the two races.
"We must maintain a good relationship with this Living Saint," said an Aeldari Warlock.
"The power of the Master of Mankind is growing stronger, and this Living Saint has also received the help of the C'tan. The rise of mankind is inevitable."
"At that time, the Chaos Gods will certainly not tolerate humans who are too powerful. The conflict between the two sides will be irreconcilable, and war will be inevitable."
"At that time, both humanity and the gods will be severely weakened, and we will be able to rise up and restore our former glory, just like our ancestors War in Heaven."
The Kasareth Farseer. "Mandred, you make a very good point."
"I will do that. He entrusted me with the task of finding a way to send the God Chosen into special areas such as the Menagerie."
"Now that everything is ready, it's time to show him our goodwill and let him know our value."
"..."
With the upgrade of the Imperial Glory,
Players were also rapidly refreshing chat messages in the regional channel.
"The Imperial Glory is getting bigger and bigger. It's only 24 kilometers now. Next time it will be 48 kilometers, and the time after that it will be 96 kilometers. If this happens a few more times, it will become Colossus."
"A Colossus controlled by a C'tan —just thinking about it is terrifying. Who would dare to disobey then?"
"I suggest that the authorities equip the Earth-Exploding Star and Neutron Sweep systems with them."
"We can't forget the Starburst Device either."
"So many weapons of extermination, it's terrifying. We must love peace and promote anti-war sentiments. I suggest that control of the Imperial Glory be transferred to me so that I can dedicate myself to achieving peace."
"I could hear you calculating all over the island. You call yourself a peace lover? Take a look at your ID: 'Is Starfish Canned Food Not Tasty??'"
"Are you discriminating against Paradox Interactive players? I'm so angry! Can't we Paradox Interactive players love peace? We're a group of kind-hearted big kids too, a group of big kids who love peace and beauty."
Is it the kindness of turning Starfish into canned food? Or is it the peace of treating Neutron Sweep as a daily occurrence?
"Making Starfish cans is a necessary sacrifice for achieving universal peace. Don't you understand the bigger picture? Neutron Sweep is an efficient means to achieve peace."
"You damned war criminals, go to Terra and ask the High Lord to judge these bastards."
Emperor: Huh? If genocide counts as a war crime, then wouldn't I be number one?
"High Lord: Why has Your Majesty rebelled?"
"..."
The players' conversations always seem to veer off-topic.
They quickly moved from discussing the upgrade of the Imperial Glory to whether the Ecclesiarchy could reach the Eye of Terror within five minutes after the Emperor's awakening.
Qin Yun peered into the Regional Chat Channel, while also checking the various functions of the Beacon.
The player area chat feature is provided by Beacon.
After the Beacon upgrade, chatting became smoother and now supports emoticons and images.
Just as I was about to marvel at the player's unconventional thinking, the Farseer Kasareth came looking for me.
"My Living Saint, we have not failed in our mission. We have completed the task you previously instructed us to undertake."
The Aeldari occupied an area at the rear of the Imperial Glory, using it as their residence and workshop.
The moment Qin Yun stepped into this area, he could feel the surrounding temperature drop by several degrees.
The exhaled air turned into white mist, which soon condensed into frost.
The power of the Warp is flowing here.
He was led into a special hall.
Inside, intricate runes of origin were carved, and an archway sculpted from Wraithbone stood in the center of the hall.
Qin Yun could see that the archway was covered with complex and ancient characters, which were obscure and difficult to understand, and possessed incredible spiritual power.
"This is the Warp portal that leads to the Menagerie."
Kasareth pointed to the Arch of Wraithbone.
"Simply inject psionic energy to activate the archway and enter the mysterious Menagerie."
"This behavior is extremely dangerous. Although the Menagerie is not the domain of the Lord of Change, it was still created by many Greater Daemons."
"Is it usable now?" Qin Yun asked.
"Of course, would you like to try it?" Kasareth said.
"But there are some things I need to tell you in advance: once this Warp portal is opened, the Menagerie will also be able to track and lock onto it, and a continuous stream of demons will pour in."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yun's eyes lit up.
That would be a monster spawner!
Previously, he was worried that there wouldn't be enough monsters for players to farm.
There are a lot of bad Warhammer, but the Milky Way is huge. Once players are scattered, they have to run around the map.
He couldn't allow the world he was managing to fall into chaos again just so players could have monsters spawning.
Let Genestealer Cultists cause trouble.
Therefore, how players can quickly find 'monsters' to level up has become a major problem.
With this thing, new players will have both experience points and Faith Points!
Thanks to the Warp for its gift.
"Living Saint, are you sure you want to activate it?" Kasareth asked again.
"Wait a moment, I need a few God Chosen to accompany me inside."
Qin Yun wasn't in a hurry; he had Xi Ling issue a task.
Limited-Time Mission: Adventure
The Guide and the Aeldari Farseer from the Craftworld Ulthwe have devised a method to reach the Menagerie, but he needs some God Chosen to accompany him.
Players who want to venture into the dark world and hunt demons should hurry up and sign up!
First come, first served; if you're late, you'll miss your chance.
Limited to 15 players, and players must be level 14 or higher.
Rewards: 35,000 Contribution Points, 4,000 Honor Points, and 7,500 Faith Points.
Before long, the Little Alpaca carrying the greatsword arrived first.
A pretty girl wearing Power Armour, carrying a greatsword, Squig over, looking very excited.
Qin Yun's lips twitched slightly.
I have a feeling that as the game expands, there will be quite a few female players like this.
I wonder if a group of Ecclesiarchy Sisters carrying pink Bolter will appear in the future.
Just imagine the art style; even demons would find it morally reprehensible.
Following closely behind were Warmaster, Ten-Timer, and other members of the Emperor's Cattle Warband.
And the Hammer and Sickle Warband, clad in Exoskeleton Armor.
The Old Bird, equipped with numerous mechanical prosthetics, and Reckless General also arrived.
During this period, neither of them participated in much combat.
He's been busy with research and implanting new prosthetics.
Now, with the weapons and prosthetics they're fitted with, they're comparable to a heavy-firepower squad, quite like the Cawl.
The Regional Chat Channel was also discussing Qin Yun's task posting.
"It's definitely a dungeon mode. We're testing it with players now, and it should be officially released soon."
"Aren't low-level players even worthy of being used as consumables for testing?"
"Upstairs," the Guide said, "Yes, I'm sorry, you're not worthy."
"Aaaaah, I'm so angry, so angry!"
"..."
After gathering fifteen players, Qin Yun looked at Kasareth.
"That's enough, Farseer."
Kasareth's lips twitched.
These God Chosen are all elites, and they also possess inherent magic resistance.
The Emperor Living Saint are about to lead their people to destroy the demon's lair.
Kasareth took out some ancient runes, tossed them into the air, and then chanted an ancient incantation.
The runes suspended in the air emitted a silvery glow.
They trailed their wakes as they weaved through the air, eventually forming an intricate pattern.
The Wraithbone Gate was activated, and a hazy glow appeared out of thin air inside.
Qin Yun gripped the heavy Rod of Retribution tightly and stepped inside first.
Players and many Aeldari followed closely behind.
With a distortion of space and time, they instantly found themselves in a cluster of urban buildings shrouded in an eerie light.
A blood-red moon floated in the sky, grinning with a terrifying smile.
Looking around, all one could see was endless desolation and crimson.
Those buildings were abandoned, hiding an indescribable darkness.
In front of them stood a magnificent zoo.
Upon approaching, the players saw the sign at the entrance.
The words 'Menagerie' were written crookedly on it.
There was also a friendly notice posted next to it.
Welcome to the Menagerie!
This place contains countless amazing creatures.
From the distant creation of the universe to the present day, all kinds of ancient creatures have been found.
The park has excellent safety measures in place, so you don't need to worry about the safety of you and your family. Please feel free to visit.
Disregard the negative reviews you've heard about our park; they're just afraid you'll see the 'truth'.
Lies are sweet, but the truth is cruel.
But only the truth can enable people to continue to progress.
Welcome to the 'Menagerie', where you will witness the truth and have a wonderful time.
"Damn, this really is a zoo," Little Fatty complained. "Even little devils in the Warp need enlightenment, right?"
"Hahaha, if it's not unexpected enough, how can it be called Chaos!" Ten-Timer shrugged. "No matter what it is, we just need to charge forward and kill our way through."
"Let's go." Qin Yun stepped into the Menagerie.
The next second, a gasp rang out.
"Holy crap, these bastards are treating the Chaos Spawn like an animal."
"Holy crap, you see the literal meaning of 'truth,' right? It directly exposes all the monsters and demons of the Warp."
"If any mortals can get out of here alive, I'll shout 'Awesome! 666!' They're so damn powerful."
"Look, there seem to be some employees over there."
"Quick, rush over there, don't let him get away."
"Huh, what's that rabbit doing here? Never mind, I'll activate the winning strategy and give it a good stab."
The middle layer of a certain Hive City,
Alex, a clerk in the Department of the Interior, hummed a little tune, her previous pessimism and despair vanishing.
With the sudden emergence of the Emperor- Living Saint, the arrogant rebel army was repeatedly and brutally defeated.
Anyone could see that the rebels were nothing but insignificant wretches in front of the Living Saint, destined to cause no real trouble.
The Imperium can easily win by simply waiting for the Living Saint to launch repeated attacks.
After completing 999 paperwork tasks, the shift bell rang.
Alex quickly packed her things, and as soon as her replacement arrived, she walked out of the Department of the Interior building with cheerful steps.
Should I go get some barbecue, or go to One-Eyed Bar for a drink?
Alex her next steps.
His salary isn't much, but it's just enough for his current single status, and he can even splurge occasionally.
"Let's see some interesting animals."
A flyer was handed to Alex.
The text and some pictures describe a newly arrived zoo that has just arrived in this Hive City.
Many merchants collect rare plants and animals from various planets, then tour and exhibit them in different places to make money off the citizens.
Many citizens live their entire lives in the oppressive Hive City, and have never even seen a green plant.
He was filled with curiosity about the plants and animals of other planets.
Therefore, this type of business is quite profitable.
"Just killing time, hopefully I'll see something interesting."
Alex went to the address on the flyer.
He walked through a dimly lit alley and arrived at the 'Menagerie' mentioned on the flyer.
There were many people, and it was very lively.
A girl wearing Double-Headed Eagle badge on her chest greeted Alex.
After paying, he was given an identification tag with the value 999 and then allowed to enter.
All sorts of novel animals excited Alex, making her feel that the money had been well spent.
There were so many animals that he wandered around for a very long time.
As time went by, Alex forgot how to leave.
The animals on display are becoming increasingly bizarre in appearance.
The surrounding environment grew increasingly eerie, and strange whispers echoed in his ears.
Some have faces covered in eyes, lower bodies of tentacles, and upper bodies of humans.
Others are like octopuses, humans, and a mix of all sorts of random things.
They looked increasingly distorted and emitted strange laughter.
Alex started crying without realizing it, feeling a strange, indescribable sensation in her heart, as if her soul was secretly breaking apart.
There were many people around him, but no one noticed his abnormality, as if they were in different times and spaces.
"Don't cry, this is the reality. You've just seen the reality. Accept it, and you'll feel much better."
A voice came.
Alex looked up.
A man in work clothes walked up to him, smiling, his blue eyes sparkling.
The man also wore Double-Headed Eagle badge on his chest.
But this time, Alex saw that it wasn't the Imperium emblem at all, but a monster with two bird heads.
The man extended his hand in a gesture of friendliness.
Alex, who was crying, also reached out his hand; he desperately wanted to end it all.
The next second, the man in work clothes was kicked to the ground from behind.
A Sisters wearing Power Armour and carrying a greatsword appeared before Alex.
"How come there's a human here? Where's the boss? Where is the boss?"
Alex's eyes widened.
The shock in my heart overwhelmed my curiosity.
Belatedly realizing what was happening, he hurriedly picked up the Emperor's statue in his hands and prayed.
Then, when he looked up again, everything around him had changed.
There were no animals, no staff, and no Sisters.
He was in a dimly lit alley, and not far away on the wall was painted a strange eye and many blasphemous symbols.
"By the Emperor, no! This is terrifying!"
Realizing what had happened to her, Alex ran away in a panic.
Minutes later, the Inquisition's troops cordoned off the area.
Menagerie,
The Little Alpaca stared in shock for three seconds at the vanished humans before continuing to shout.
Where is the BOSS?
Where is the BOSS?
"..."
As the God Chosen charged at the Chaos Beast and Tzeentch Daemon, looting and vandalizing everywhere, the Farseer Kasareth's lips twitched.
He felt a strange pang of sympathy for the guy who used the 'Menagerie' to steal souls.
Getting involved with these God Chosen is just bad luck on their part.
"You minions of the Cursed One have gone too far in bullying the demons."
A gigantic blue bird-headed Greater Daemon appeared.
He is none other than Malabas, the controller of the Menagerie.
It is also one of the Seven Great Daemons of the Calixis legend.
He is the most capable assistant of Kairos, the Fateweaver.
Malabas loves using the Menagerie to corrupt his targets.
The chosen ones will be intrigued by alien animals, which will drive them to explore the zoo and ultimately witness the truth of the infinite changes in the Warp.
They will break down, they will cry, they will scream.
Ultimately, they will inevitably become slaves and followers of the Lord of Change.
Today, the minions of the Cursed One have ruined everything, which is why Malabas has appeared in anger.
The appearance of Tzeentch the Greater Daemon excited the players; their eyes showed no fear, only a desire for the BOSS.
"This is really a dungeon, and there's even a boss."
"Brothers, charge! It's time to clear the land!"
"Kill! Kill! Slash! Slash!"
"..."
The players swarmed forward and launched an attack on Malabas.
Malabas: "..."
That's too much of a bullying to demons!
Although he's not ranked in the Maze of Change, the fact that a group of mortals dared to cause trouble on his territory shows they really don't take him seriously.
The manager of the Menagerie unleashed a torrent of profanities while raising his Scepter.
The players couldn't understand what the other side was saying, but they felt the insults were quite vulgar. However, they didn't care; their eyes were filled with only the desire to explore new areas.
Malabas originally intended to teach these humans a lesson, then capture them and torment and play with them to his heart's content.
But soon he realized he was overthinking it.
Qin Yun, Emperor's Blessing, along with Xi Ling, the nascent C'tan who simultaneously controls both reality and the Warp, and the Eldar, who possess extensive Aeldari of the Warp.
There's also a group of players who aren't afraid of dying at all.
He was no match for them at all and was quickly pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by a group of them.
Punching, kicking, stabbing, and hammering.
The beating left Malabas's once somewhat attractive face disfigured.
Many of its feathers were also plucked.
If I hadn't run fast, I'd probably still be dead here!
The Menagerie is Warp realm; even if it is destroyed, it will quickly recover.
So, after beating up Malabas, Qin Yun led the players away, saying that he would come back again next time.
Upon learning of this, Kairos was so angry that his head twitched.
Not only did these minions of the Cursed One ruin his perfect plan, but they're also so arrogant.
If it weren't for being busy scheming against Guilliman with Magnus,
He was determined to lead Tzeentch's army to wipe out the minions of the Cursed One.
Let those bastards know that the title of the Chaos Four Gods is not something they picked up by chance.
Qin Yun was unaware of Kairos's thoughts, and even if he had, he would have scoffed at them.
After returning from the Menagerie and distributing the rewards,
He and Xi Ling then went to prepare for the 3.0 version update.
Version 3.0 Update Announcement:
Clang! Clang! Clang!
With a deafening roar in the sky, Xi Ling made a dazzling entrance.
It's great to see you all again! Did you miss Xi Ling?
After our efforts over this period of time, Warhammer Online has ushered in another major upgrade. Here are the update details.
First: The financial system has been updated again, optimizing the exchange of Contribution Points and Sky Eagle Coins, while adding more local currency exchange options.
To enhance your credit score, we need to incorporate your personal data and verify your eligibility for loans. Make sure to complete as many tasks as possible!
Second: The calculation model for Warfare Score has been optimized to ensure greater fairness and impartiality.
Third: A brand new gameplay mode – limited-time dungeons. The game will open limited-time dungeons at irregular intervals, and players can go to participate by following the prompts.
Currently available instance: The Menagerie (This is a Warp area created by the Tzeentch Chaos Dark God, which will pull innocent people in to corrupt and bewitch them. Players can form teams to challenge it. The BOSS has extremely high intelligence and will run away if you are attacked too much, so be careful.)
Fourth: Update the Beacon function. Beacon built in the future will have a certain probability of bringing healing and dispelling negative buffs.
+++ Thought for the Day: Devout Faith is Our Most Powerful Weapon+++
Qin Yun checked it and, after confirming there were no problems, updated it.
In addition to updating the rules and introducing new gameplay, he also uploaded some recent videos and footage as usual.
