The Tech-Priests serving aboard the Imperial Glory all gathered in the Data Control Room.
They used the Cogitator System to build a data model and calculate the final rewards based on each player's battlefield performance.
Battlefield performance included, but was not limited to, enemy kills, impact on the battle, civilians saved, important intelligence acquired, and more.
Each category had detailed calculation parameters to determine the size of the reward.
Players such as Old Bird and Reckless General, who had overseen the orbital bombardment, also received rewards.
They had not personally gone to the battlefield.
But their contributions were just as clear to see.
The battle settlement proceeded swiftly.
After several rounds of review confirmed that the final results were correct,
Qin Yun entered the data into the Contribution Points System and pushed the reward notifications to the players.
Battle Settlement: The Defense of Tyreen has concluded successfully. In recognition of your valiant performance, you have received a total of **** Contribution Points.
Players with Data Slates quickly received the reward notifications.
Those without Data Slates were informed that they could return to the Imperial Glory or Lycade Station to check them.
As for why they could not check them in Tyreen Hive City,
it was because the data had not yet been connected to the ground network, and there were Genestealers in the Hive City.
Qin Yun's control over the Hive City was not strong enough either, so there was no need to take that kind of risk.
The Tirean campaign had brought the players generous rewards.
Even newcomers stepping onto the battlefield for the first time could earn twenty or thirty thousand Contribution Points.
That was enough for them to purchase a basic exoskeleton from the Dora Workshop.
Besides settling Contribution Point rewards,
Qin Yun also clipped together some highlight videos and sent them to the chat groups.
As for player rankings, Qin Yun did not set one up.
It was not that he did not want to, but ranking players by Contribution Points as before would be unfair to non-combat players.
Players like Dora, who focused on farming and development, could easily earn enough Contribution Points to crush combat players into dust.
Ranking them under those rules would not motivate players; it would instead undermine their enthusiasm.
"It was time to unlock the Warband System and the Honor Ranking Board."
"The rankings needed to take every factor into account and encourage the players to take initiative."
"They also needed to cultivate the players' ability to participate in large-scale campaigns."
After considering it, Qin Yun decided to add the Warband System and change the original Contribution Point Ranking Board into the Honor Ranking Board.
Players with sufficient Honor could form Warbands.
Warbands could accept large-scale combat missions and receive Auxilia support.
They could also purchase certain specialized military equipment.
As for the Honor Ranking Board, it would comprehensively calculate each player's contributions to the Emperor, determine their Honor Points, and then rank them.
Qin Yun acted as soon as he made up his mind. He had Tech-Priest Jackdo write the Warband System and the Honor calculation model.
Once the program was complete, the Warband System and Honor Ranking Board would go online.
Morning had arrived in the real world.
This was usually when the Warhammer Toilers Group was at its liveliest.
Many players had to go to work, so they logged out of the game at this time.
After playing all night, they were energetic and refreshed.
Before officially slacking off, they were more than happy to scroll through the chat groups.
The group had already reached its maximum capacity of two thousand members.
But Lobster was simply too good at recruiting.
Every day, a huge number of people applied to join the group.
After discussing it, the administrators created two more groups: Warhammer Toilers Group 2 and Warhammer Toilers Group 3.
After Qin Yun uploaded videos related to the Tyreen Hive City campaign,
all three chat groups instantly exploded, with notifications immediately jumping to 99+.
Guilliman is the Only Sun: "Why? Why? Why was I not in such an incredible battle?"
I Don't Want to be a Stinky Can: "Welcome to Old Thirteen's daily wailing."
Guilliman is the Only Sun: "JPG (I'm going to kill you, heretic.)"
Most Ballsy Bro of Warhammer: "War was still the best. I made over three hundred thousand Contribution Points this round."
Nurgle-Kissing Fatty: "I took a bit of a loss. I earned five hundred and fifty thousand, but spent over three hundred thousand on ammunition. How did you guys make that much?!"
Slaanesh's Ten-Times-A-Night Stud: "We caught a big fish, so that was how we earned so much @Second Empire Warmaster. Hehehe, too bad you didn't get a share."
Second Empire Warmaster: "Little punk, enjoy your moment. In a couple of days, I'll show you why big brother is always big brother."
Director Qi Wants Progress: "This newbie player who only got thirty thousand Contribution Points is trembling in this group."
Dora Omnissiah: "Brothers who need exoskeletons, speak up. I need to decide whether to take out another loan and set up another production line."
"."
While the players chatted excitedly about the game, Qin Yun was busy as well.
He took a Valkyrie to Tyreen Hive City.
He planned to discuss the next stage of development with the upper echelons of Tyreen Hive City.
Qin Yun intended to turn Planet Automata into a logistics base.
Naturally, the reconstruction work could not be handled carelessly, and a relatively complete management system also had to be established.
At the very least, they could no longer treat the lower classes as less than human.
After all, those people were valuable laborers and a source of living soldiers.
At the same time, Qin Yun needed to discuss linking Contribution Points to the local currency.
He would also inspect Von, the bishop, and the other elites. If they were qualified, he would grant them the authority to issue missions.
That would make them part of the players' play as well.
Of course, there was one more crucial matter that could not be forgotten:
They needed to determine which troops in Tyreen Hive City were Loyalists and which were Genestealer Cultists.
In the next battle, Qin Yun would send the Genestealer Cultists to chew on the toughest bones.
They would serve the Emperor faithfully!
Qin Yun figured those Genestealers would surely be happy to do so.
Before the Great Devourer arrived, the Genestealers' loyalty to the Emperor had been rock solid.
Amid the roar of engines, the Valkyrie slowly descended onto the landing pad of Tyreen Hive City.
Planetary Governor Von, Bishop Hydrak, and Casca, who had just been promoted to a Tech-Magos, were already waiting for him on the landing pad.
Besides them, there was also a group of Pilgrims who had heard that the Guide was descending and had gathered outside the landing pad's security line.
With the hiss of pressurized gas, the heavy hatch opened.
The upgraded Qin Yun stepped out, making the many nobles of Tyreen Hive City widen their eyes.
After only a few days apart, the Guide had changed dramatically.
His body had become so enormous that he looked like a deity who had stepped out of myth.
"May the light of the God-Emperor bless you."
Seeing that many of the onlookers were infected with disease, Qin Yun used the skills Blessing and Emperor's Light.
Golden radiance appeared from thin air and fell like raindrops upon the people.
The diseases on their bodies visibly vanished, and before long, they had recovered their health.
This miracle stirred the gathered crowd, and they began praising the great God-Emperor and the Guide.
After leaving the fanatical crowd, Qin Yun was welcomed into the Hive City, where he discussed the coming development with the many elites.
Qin Yun had the Adeptus Mechanicus use biotechnology to build greenhouse farms, improve crop seeds, and increase yields.
Since he had come here, he could no longer allow the Imperium's citizens to eat synthetic food like nutrient gruel and nutrient paste every day.
With such advanced technology at their disposal, food security had to be achieved.
At the same time, they needed to find a way to send the Hive City's children to school.
They had to teach them basic knowledge such as physics and chemistry, allowing them to establish a scientific and rational worldview.
But it had to stop there. For more advanced fields, the Adeptus Mechanicus still needed to select talents for research.
Otherwise, if some Blue Bird corrupted them, things would become very entertaining.
Faced with Qin Yun's many demands, Von, Casca, Hydrak, and the other higher-ups raised no objections.
After all, standing before them was a true envoy of the God-Emperor.
To oppose the Guide was to oppose the Emperor.
"My lord, show mercy and spread your radiance upon the poor people of the Outer District. They need miracles to support them."
After discussing the reconstruction matters, Bishop Hydrak stepped before Qin Yun and spoke respectfully.
PS: Fine, the Nurgle picture got rejected by review, so I'll replace it with one from the First Legion.
Still shamelessly begging for continued reading.
