This Is a Win-Win Situation

"Have we finally found the lair of the Trazyn the Infinite?"

Qin Yun learned from Xi Ling that

Players of the Emperor's Cattle Warband have found one of Trazyn's treasure planets.

"Master, should we order them to launch an attack immediately?" Xi Ling asked.

Qin Yun shook his head. "Doing that would be too reckless. Trazyn, the Necron Overlord, is not so easy to deal with."

Trazyn the Infinite is the ruler of the Tomb World of Solemnace.

He prides himself on being a protector of the history, artifacts, and major events of the Milky Way, and is affectionately known as the Figure King Figurines.

It is the only entity in the Milky Way capable of vying with the Blood Ravens Chapter for the title of Saint of Thieves.

Their most adept tactic is to use various avatars to lure the enemy away from their base.

Whenever the enemy goes through great lengths to kill a Necrons that looks a lot like Figure King,

Turning around, I discovered that my treasure trove had been completely looted by Figure King.

This tactic has proven effective time and again, leaving countless victims seething with resentment.

Even among the many dynasties of the Necrons, Trazyn was highly hated.

Because this guy always takes advantage of people's sleep to raid their treasure troves.

Although the Necrons are no longer as glorious as they once were, they are still bigger than horses even when they are weakened.

Moreover, Trazyn was no ordinary Necron Overlord.

This guy has countless trump cards up his sleeve.

It will be very difficult to deal with him.

"So what should we do?"

"The players of the Hogwarts Warband are still in their hands."

Xi Ling asked,

Qin Yun didn't answer Xi Ling's question, but instead asked about something else.

"How many players signed up for the rescue mission that was announced before?"

Xi Ling nodded. "Currently, more than four hundred players above level 18 have signed up to participate in this mission."

"Very good. More than four hundred players who have completed the Second Awakening are enough to cause Trazyn a lot of trouble."

Qin Yun smiled, a plan forming in his mind.

"The most troublesome thing about Necrons is that once they are killed, they are teleported back to the furnace to respawn."

"This time, we will give them a taste of their own medicine."

Xi Ling looked curious. "What does Master plan to do?"

Qin Yun already had a preliminary plan.

"Apart from some Souls-like games, most games will set up resurrection and teleportation at the entrance of the dungeon."

"That way, players won't waste time running around the map after they fail."

"Trazyn is a tough boss, and the Museum World is a difficult but rewarding dungeon."

Xi Ling's eyes widened; she guessed a bit of what her master was thinking.

"Is Master planning to set up resurrection and teleportation points near the Museum World?"

Qin Yun nodded. "Immediately arrange for a warship equipped with Beacon and Emperor's Shrine to join the fleet tasked with defeating Trazyn, ensuring that players can re-enter the instance as soon as they are resurrected."

"In this way, no matter how many trump cards Trazyn has, there is absolutely nothing to worry about."

"The constant stream of resurrected players will continuously deplete Trazyn's trump cards, and the collection of this Necron Overlord will be the best reward for the players."

It's a win-win situation: they can teach Trazyn a lesson without having to pay the price themselves.

If Trazyn could hear Qin Yun's thoughts, he would surely look bewildered.

"What kind of win-win situation is this? It looks like I'm losing big time!"

"Yes, Master, I will arrange it immediately." Xi Ling paused for a moment before continuing, "Master, Xi Ling has something good to show you."

"What good stuff is it?" Qin Yun asked, looking puzzled.

Xi Ling projected a set of heavy Power Armor.

"This is my latest Hellfire Inceptor Power Armor, which has performance far exceeding that of any Power Armour currently used by the Imperium."

After carefully examining the parameters of the Hellfire Inceptor Power Armor, Qin Yun's pupils widened slightly, revealing an expression of disbelief.

This is a Power Armour incorporating a variety of high-tech features.

It is as bulky as the Terminator, but its combat performance far surpasses that of the Terminator.

This Hellfire Inceptor Power Armor features a special Cold Nuclear Fusion Battery that allows for extended battery life.

(The Cold Nuclear Fusion was initiated by Dora Workshop, which aims to use the knowledge of the Golden Age and the computing power of Xi Ling to create a fusion technology that operates at room temperature and pressure to support small and medium-sized devices.)

Xi Ling contributed the most to this process, and as the project achieved its milestones, she naturally mastered the technology.

It has special thrusters on its back, which allow the user to fly long distances.

The built-in optimized 2.5 version of the Cogitator System can maximize the user's combat capabilities and battlefield survivability.

Equipped with sophisticated life support systems, it can survive in environments with low temperatures, toxic fumes, and high temperatures.

It possesses shield projection capabilities, allowing it to project a force field shield within a certain range that can withstand all attacks.

Equipped with a medical system, it can treat various penetrating wounds, impaired physical skills, and even a certain degree of soul damage.

There is also a hibernation device. If you fall into a trap and cannot escape, you can activate the armor's hibernation function to support a sleep for thousands of years.

Most importantly, the armor uses shape-memory active Nano-metal, which have self-repairing capabilities.

As long as the armor can absorb enough energy, it can slowly reshape the Power Armour and repair damaged areas.

"This... this..."

Is Little Xi Ling working this hard now?

First, it was the storage bracelet, and now they've brought out such a powerful suit of armor.

They've gotten this ruthless without making a sound?

I, as the master, have become somewhat lax, which is truly shameful.

"Master, this is the armor that Xi Ling developed for your family guard."

Xi Ling looked at Qin Yun expectantly, waiting for his praise.

"The guards?" Qin Yun looked puzzled.

"My lord, you are now the acting Regent of the Imperium, yet you have never had your own personal guard."

"While players can occasionally act as your personal guards, Xi Ling still thinks you should recruit a personal guard composed of local natives."

"You may think you don't need protection, but a loyal bodyguard can help you solve most of your problems."

Xi Ling explained in detail, which made Qin Yun nod thoughtfully.

This is indeed a problem.

I was so busy before that I forgot about forming a guard.

It's time to consider this.

"You've thought this through very well, Xi Ling."

"Of course," Xi Ling said proudly. "Xi Ling will consider every detail for her master."

"This Hellfire Inceptor Armor was developed for your personal guard. After that, Xi Ling will continue to iterate on it to ensure that it is always more advanced than any other armor on the market."

Qin Yun nodded and smiled, "Xi Ling, you really did a great job."

"Hey! Hey!" Xi Ling laughed too, "It's all for Master."

Qin Yun pondered for a moment before speaking, "How about this, Xi Ling, you select a batch of Hellfire Inceptor Power Armor and have the Expeditionary Fleet transport them there to the players of the Emperor's Cattle Warband."

Xi Ling looked confused. "Why, Master?"

"The armor sent over is a reward for saving the Hogwarts Warband. At the same time, we need to collect data on the performance of this armor on the battlefield in order to continue to update and iterate it."

Qin Yun explained why he did this.

"I see. Master has thought things through." Xi Ling looked enlightened. "I'll get on it right away."

Qin Yun watched Xi Ling's departing figure, a sense of emotion welling up inside him.

I didn't expect Xi Ling to grow so fast.

Given time, she might completely replace Void Dragon and Vashtorr and become the technological god of the Warhammer Universe.

"I need to work harder too."

Qin Yun strode forward; he had to continue handling official business.

Terra's powerful bureaucrats have already been taught a lesson, but there are still quite a few petty flies around.

When it comes to eradicating corruption, we must target both high-ranking officials and petty corruption.

Museum World.

"Welcome back, curator."

When Trazyn's Necron warship entered the atmosphere and hovered above the magnificent Pyramid,

His chief technician, Sannet, greeted him.

"Have there been any problems with my collection during this period?"

After a flash of teleportation, Trazyn appeared inside the Pyramid.

The interior of the Pyramid utilizes a unique Dimensional Space technology.

The interior space is much larger than it appears from the outside.

Countless artifacts were contained within the Stasis Field of the metal platform and the Tesseract Cube.

It was placed in a spacious and bright hall, stretching all the way to the end.

The spacious interior of the Pyramid is divided into different exhibition halls.

The collection is categorized according to different ethnicities, different times, or different major events.

Each exhibition hall's dome is equipped with a permanent reactor, providing a continuous source of energy to support the various operating devices.

On the wall, the surging energy flowed like a spring.

Wave after wave, they lit up the ancient runes on the wall.

This energy was then infused into the platform made of black metal.

Let those exhibits remain forever as they were at the moment they were placed inside.

"Everything has been normal during this period, curator."

Sannet appeared beside Trazyn.

Like Trazyn, Sannet also transformed into an immortal metallic body.

Of course, due to his position, as the chief technician, his Active Metal body is far more refined and perfect than that of an ordinary soldier.

"Place the human artifacts I just acquired in the Human Pavilion, categorizing them by timeline, and classify the other artifacts by race."

"Understood, Master." Sannet bowed and then summoned the Canoptek Scarabs and low-ranking servants to move the newly acquired treasures.

Trazyn then casually opened an interface to view his collection.

The shimmering text and images unfolded like a scroll, revealing the collection within the exhibition hall to him.

Trazyn has spent countless years collecting artifacts for his museum.

It has several Museum World dedicated to housing collections, including the world of Sonamus.

The Milky Way is so vast that every race has a story to remember.

A single planet simply cannot accommodate so many exhibits.

Trazyn smiled as he looked at the new entries on the list.

His great cause has taken a few more firm steps forward.

Meanwhile, Sannet was also moving the collections from the spaceship into the exhibition hall as quickly as possible.

This is no easy task.

The sheer number of exhibits resulted in an exhibition hall that was larger than one could have imagined.

The different exhibition halls form a winding and intricate layout.

Following long-term instructions, the Architectural Wraiths continues to expand outwards, extending the building in all directions.

Some of the extended rooms were places that even Trazyn and Sannet never set foot in.

Following orders, Sannet placed the captured humans in the Human Pavilion.

This place houses symbolic objects from various important historical junctures in human history.

The skull of the first colony's governor, the first navigator, the prototype of the Stone Men, and the prototype of the Iron Men are artifacts from the Dark Age of Technology.

There were also units from the 30K era, such as the Thunder Warriors, the Adeptus Custodes, and the newly formed Astartes.

Sannet placed the newly acquired God Chosen artifacts next to the Cadia artifacts that Trazyn had brought back some time ago.

After confirming that the static field was operating normally, Sannet left with his servants and the Canoptek Scarabs.

After monitoring Museum World for several days, the Emperor's Cattle Warband...

Then the Imperium's reinforcements arrived.

A punitive fleet is anchored at the edge of the star system, using cloaking technology provided by the Xi Ling to evade the Necron's scanning devices.

Players of the Emperor's Cattle Warband received the mission to rescue the Hogwarts Warband and also obtained the Hellfire Inceptor Power Armor provided by Qin Yun.

This left all the young players speechless.

It's important to know that the Hellfire Inceptor Power Armor wasn't released to the public, meaning that the armor worn by players like Warmaster is a limited edition.

"How dare those idiots say last time that the Old Bird were able to get medals through insider information?"

"Damn, why is their armor so much cooler and more powerful than ours?"

"This is a conspiracy, this is the real conspiracy."

"This is unfair. We demand that the Emperor's Cattle Warband be weakened."

"..."

The players were furious and vehemently accused the authorities of cheating.

Players in the Emperor's Cattle Warband were indignant about these accusations.

All of this is due to their hard work; there's no shady dealing involved!

Of course, they didn't argue about it and happily put on the Hellfire Inceptor Power Armor.

Immediately afterwards, they set off in a Phantom Shuttle, designed by Dora Workshop and manufactured on Mars.

Preparing to parachute onto the Museum World.

Xi Ling promised to shield them from the scanning device used by the Necrons.

Meanwhile, other players will also launch airdrop operations, using feints and diversions.

Go and destroy other areas of the Museum World.

To attract the attention of the Necrons,

Relieve the pressure on players like Warmaster.

The vast, boundless Void remained as dark and cold as ever.

An invisible Phantom Shuttle silently traversed the vast Void, heading towards its target planet.

Inside the shuttle, the players of the Emperor's Cattle Warband were conducting final maintenance.

They are about to be airdropped to the surface to carry out a raid to rescue the Hogwarts Warband.

It would be best if they could be rescued safely.

If that's not possible, destroy the restraints and force them to commit suicide, then escape through resurrection.

The cabin was completely dark, except for the flickering light from the working machinery.

The armor of the Warmaster and Ten-Timer's Hell Soldier was outlined by green and red lights.

Their physiques appeared even more imposing against the backdrop of their Power Armour.

"Everyone, check your weapons."

The Warmaster looked around at everyone, his voice low and deep.

"Final confirmation of task information; relevant data has been received."

"Head to the mission location and rescue the Hogwarts Warband. If you can evacuate safely, that would be best. If not, just self-destruct and don't get captured."

"Loading mission coordinate information now."

As Warmaster finished speaking.

A notification sounded in the helmets of players like Ten-Timer and Twisted Man.

[Task data being received, the Cogitator System is processing it...]

[Airdrop coverage map activated; mission coordinates determined, initiating...]

The helmet's HUD panel creates a virtual scene.

The scene is marked with mission details and routes.

As C'tan, Xi Ling possesses research capabilities that are among the most advanced in the Milky Way.

In addition, the diverse and imaginative ideas brought by players...

This gives her the dual advantages of having both endless knowledge and innovative thinking.

This Hellfire Inceptor Power Armor was designed by Xi Ling herself.

It truly deserves the word 'awesome'.

Wearing this Power Armour, players like Warmaster have seen their battlefield situational awareness improved by several levels.

The mission coordinates are 38°53.707′N, 77°02.182′W, and have been confirmed.

Xi Ling kept her eyes locked on the Hogwarts Warband players from beginning to end.

The Necron Technology used by Trazyn was completely beyond her defenses.

Therefore, she knew exactly where the players, including Old Thirteen, were being held.

[About to enter the atmosphere]

After the system notification sounded, the driver's voice came through immediately.

"God Chosen, prepare for your airborne landing. If we get any closer, the enemy will be able to spot us."

"Understood. All team members, switch to flight mode and confirm the airdrop operation."

The Warmaster switched his Power Armour to flight mode and gave orders to players such as Ten-Timer.

As he operated the device, the helmet's HUD panel changed accordingly.

The flight icon changed from gray to green, and the teammate badges above the panel also shone with the same light—indicating that the entire squad was ready.

[Opening now]

[Opening now]

With a rapid warning sound, the red light flashed.

A strong wind blew in from outside.

But the players, who were well-prepared, remained unmoved in the face of the raging wind.

"Let's go." Warmaster strode to the hatch and looked down.

They were tens of thousands of meters above the ground and could clearly see the clouds below them.

"Even skydiving isn't this thrilling at this altitude."

Warmaster muttered a few words, then leaped outside.

Players like Ten-Timer followed suit.

The immense weight generated tremendous potential energy, causing Warmaster and the others to plummet towards the ground like meteors.

P. S.: There's one more chapter coming tonight.
