[Mission Complete, Current Logged-in Players: 1/15]

Golden subtitles popped up before Qin Yun.

The numbers behind it quickly flickered.

1/15, 5/15, 7/15, 13/15, 15/15.

All fifteen group members who had secured a reservation slot had logged in.

It was clear they were all very excited about this game.

They wanted to see just how realistic the game truly was.

Mission complete, rewards distributed.

Qin Yun received a total of 3000 Faith Points.

Adding the previous 500 Faith Points.

He now had 3500 Faith Points on hand.

[Congratulations on gaining experience.

Level: LV2 -> LV3.

Learned Skill: Zeal (Group Skill, increases user's movement speed and attack speed, reduces damage)

Learned Skill: Emperor's Light (Can expel and suppress Warp creatures)

]

"Finally, some company."

Qin Yun, sitting at the console, grinned.

He reached out and turned off the projection, then quickly walked to the Shrine.

He chose to spend all his Faith Points to upgrade his Melee Combat and Firearms Shooting skills.

[Melee Combat (Novice) upgraded to Melee Combat (Proficient)]

[Firearms Shooting (Novice) upgraded to Firearms Shooting (Master)]

Just as he finished upgrading his skills, fifteen beams of light flashed before the Shrine.

After the light dissipated, fifteen players had logged into the Warhammer universe.

"Holy crap, is it really this realistic??"

The player shouting was Zhang Wei.

He looked around, his eyes filled with shock.

The smoke and light that filled the air as the flames burned in the brazier.

The flickering firelight made his shadow dance along with it.

He also heard the humming sounds coming from the machinery leaning against the walls.

Looking towards the viewport, several giant, pockmarked meteorites were drifting by.

Sight, sound, smell, lighting effects, dynamic simulation – it had everything.

It truly gave a sense of being there, an immersive realism.

He just wanted to give a thumbs-up to the game's developers and say, "Bosses, you're amazing!!"

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, this game is absolutely incredible."

"A fully immersive virtual game set in the Warhammer 40k universe, my heavens, it must be the Emperor's blessing that I get to play such a game."

"Damn it, why isn't such an amazing game on the news??"

"I must have saved the galaxy for the Emperor in my past life, otherwise, how could I be so fortunate to play this game in this life."

"It's too real, it feels like a genuine world."

"Even if I die and am nailed into a coffin, I will use my decaying vocal cords to shout, this game is truly incredible."

The other players were also excited, jumping up and down.

Slap!

Zhang Wei casually slapped his companion next to him.

"What the hell, what are you doing?" the companion asked, covering his face.

"The feeling of hitting someone is exactly the same as in the real world, the pain is the same too, is it a one-to-one recreation?"

"Damn it, you want to test hitting yourself? Why hit me!!" the companion exploded in anger.

"The helmet uses brainwave technology. If you hit yourself, the helmet might simulate the signal of being hit to your brain. To judge the realism of this world, you need to use the other person's reaction," Zhang Wei explained.

"Damn it, then why did you hit me?"

"You were the closest."

"Gah, screw you."

"..."

"Alright, stop arguing."

Qin Yun walked over and stood in front of the players.

"He has gear and is wearing power armor. This must be an NPC."

"This power armor looks like standard issue for Cadia soldiers. Could it be that our identities are Cadia soldiers?"

"Cadia? I wonder what time period it is? Has it fallen yet?"

"Fallen? How could it fall? Cadia stands eternal."

The players sized up Qin Yun while whispering amongst themselves.

"Quiet."

Qin Yun walked up to the fifteen players. "I won't repeat myself a second time."

The air instantly fell silent.

The players became like well-behaved children, quietly watching Qin Yun.

Qin Yun surveyed each player before continuing.

"Welcome to hell, you worthless currency of the Emperor."

"I am Guide, the divinely chosen Saint of the Emperor."

"The Great Unclean One destroyed Cadia Fortress, the Eye of Terror lost control, and tore apart the galaxy."

"The terrible Age of Darkness has descended once more. Humanity's civilization is in grave danger, and countless ordinary people are trapped in despair and fear. The burden of saving them falls upon you."

Hearing this, the fifteen players straightened their backs and pricked up their ears, afraid of missing a single word.

After his opening remarks, Qin Yun continued as if guiding an NPC.

"This game has 100% freedom. You can choose any profession, as long as you meet the requirements and gain enough Faith Points, you can select your desired profession."

"Faith Points are very important. When you die, you can spend Faith Points at a Shrine to speed up your resurrection, or use them to enhance and upgrade your skills at a Shrine."

"You must remain loyal to the Emperor and loyal to Humanity. As Guide, my commands are His will, and you must obey them unconditionally."

"In this world of high freedom, before making any important decisions, it is best to consult me first. Once you cause unforeseen consequences, it will be considered a violation."

"For violators, I have the authority to use measures such as data wipe, game expulsion, and permanent ban."

Qin Yun's words made the players realize that Guide before them was more than just an NPC.

He might also be a failsafe set up by the game company, possessing GM privileges.

Even in games with less freedom, players had found ways to pull off absurd stunts.

In a game with absolute realism and 100% freedom, who knew what kind of bizarre operations those unconventional players could come up with.

This GM was a failsafe.

Once a player's actions were confirmed to threaten the game's operation or affect other players' gaming experience, he would take action.

"You are now free to move. You can walk around and familiarize yourselves with your bodies, or you can go to the Shrine and perform the Aquila Salute to the Emperor in prayer. Afterward, you can open your information interface to view your personal details."

"We will gather in ten minutes, and I will lead you on your first mission."

After speaking, Qin Yun strode towards the control console to check information related to the Emperor's Glory.

He intended to lead these players out and reclaim this Lunar-class Cruiser.

As soon as he left, the players immediately reverted to their curious selves.

They looked around, touching everything they saw.

Several players walked to the Shrine, performed the Aquila Salute in prayer as prompted, and then opened their personal information interface.

"My name is fixed too!"

Zhang Wei looked at the game name on the interface, feeling a bit speechless.

Name: Most Ballsy Bro of Warhammer Level: LV1 Skills: None

Another player leaned over and looked at Zhang Wei's ID.

"Brother Zhong, it looks like whatever ID we reserved is what we got."

"What did you call me?"

"Brother Zhong."

"Damn it, let me see yours. Nurgle-Kissing Fatty. So you're Little Fatty."

"Little Fatty doesn't suit my vibe."

"Better than you calling me Brother Zhong."

"."

"Is this a Cogitator wetware?"

"So realistic."

Ten-Timer pressed his face against the glass jar soaking the Cogitators, his expression full of wonder.

His ID was Slaanesh's Ten-Times-A-Night Stud.

When chatting, his guild mates called him Ten-Timer.

"It's incredibly realistic. I had no idea we had such advanced virtual world technology in the country," said Old Bird (Blue Two-Headed Bird! Loyal!) as he walked over.

"The value of this game is unimaginable. Once it goes into open beta, it's bound to turn the gaming world upside down."

Ten-Timer shook his head. "Not just the gaming world, the entire society will be shocked. Such realistic virtual reality… what kind of computing power would it take to achieve this!! I'm increasingly curious about the boss behind this game."

"He must be a really impressive figure," Old Bird guessed.

"I think this game is a turning point, it might bring about a new wave of social change," Warmaster (Second Empire Warmaster) chimed in, joining Ten-Timer and Old Bird. "As the first ones to try it, if we play our cards right, financial freedom isn't just a dream."

Ten-Timer nodded. "Warmaster is absolutely right, we need to seize this opportunity. Alright, enough small talk, let's focus on the game for now. Look around, gather intelligence."

"Ten minutes are up, come gather."

Qin Yun shouted at the players.

He then tossed out some iron pipes, large wrenches, and the like.

These were the weapons he'd managed to procure during his time here.

There were no weapon reserves in the Strategic Command.

He could only make do with what he found on hand for now.

Once they broke out, they could find the armory and get new gear.

"The crew of the Emperor's Glory have become monsters due to Warp corruption. Your first mission is to clear them out and reclaim control of the Emperor's Glory."

"There are no weapons here, just these. Make do with them for now."

The players gradually walked over, forming two lines to receive their starter equipment.

Warmaster grabbed a large wrench and swung it a few times. It felt heavy, more than enough to blow a mutant's head off.

"This is so Warhammer!! Give me a wrench and send me to fight mutants."

Old Bird swung a water pipe. "Hahaha, it really is Warhammer. In the space age, not even a lasgun, and I'm fighting on a starship with a water pipe. It's got a bit of dark humor to it."

"Complaining is pointless. Willpower and your fists are your best weapons," Qin Yun said. "The Emperor watches over you. Do not disappoint Him."

Once all the players had their weapons, Qin Yun strode to the blast door and pressed the button to open it.

The warning light above flashed red, rotating continuously.

The sound of gears turning echoed as the heavy blast door slowly opened.

Qin Yun chambered a round, preparing to lead the players into their first battle after transmigrating to the Warhammer universe.
