"If Xi Ling could possess a physical form, she would definitely be the Empire's most popular idol."
"After all, who wouldn't love a cute loli angel!"
Qin Yun looked Xi Ling over and nodded with great satisfaction.
"Master."
Xi Ling's voice pulled Qin Yun back to reality from his wandering thoughts.
"Xi Ling, what are you capable of at your current stage?"
Xi Ling held up her fingers and began to count them off.
"I can absorb knowledge, optimize designs, improve computational models, control unmanned mechanical units, conduct reverse-engineering research, and so on."
"If I have enough materials, I can even upgrade the Imperial Glory into an even more powerful warship."
"Furthermore, Xi Ling is highly bound to Master, so we can share each other's abilities and power."
"There are so many things I can do; you only need to give the command, Master."
Qin Yun stroked his chin.
This was a proper alternative cheat code.
If nothing else, the ability to reverse-engineer technology alone was heaven-defying.
The Empire had so many black-tech creations.
If they could all be reverse-engineered and then mass-produced on a large scale.
Why worry about failing to unify the galaxy and restoring the former glory of humanity?
Not to mention the distant future, just take the Blackstone Fortress and Mountain Array Ship; if he could build seven or eight hundred of them by then.
In the entire galaxy, who would dare to speak loudly to him?
He would guarantee that the various races currently clamoring for war would become talented at singing and dancing, and lovers of peace.
Looking at the likes of the Silent King and Abaddon, they would be nothing more than people offering their heads for the taking.
"Xi Ling, from today on, you are responsible for guiding those God Chosen, issuing them missions, and calculating their mission rewards."
"The Contribution Points system, the reputation system, and the Honor Points system—all areas related to the players are now your responsibility."
"As for research tasks, start by optimizing the Tomorrow Series Exoskeleton Armor."
"My requirement is that it must be cheap and durable, suitable for mass deployment to ordinary soldiers."
The current Imperial military's equipment was truly subpar.
In many wars, they could only rely on throwing lives at the problem.
They had even been mocked by the T'au for being space barbarians.
Qin Yun intended to start from Planet Automata.
Change things bit by bit, and let humanity regain its technology and reason.
When hundreds of millions of Astra Militarum soldiers wearing Exoskeleton Armor and a magnificent fleet of Colossi were sent to the Far East Front.
Qin Yun hoped that those T'au would still be able to maintain their current arrogant, empire-defying insolence.
"Computational models have been established. Optimizing the Tomorrow Series is underway; estimated time: 32h 21min."
"I have taken over the Contribution Points system, the reputation system, and the Honor Points system, and have optimized the relevant missions for the players."
Qin Yun showed a satisfied expression. "Very good. Go ahead and get to work; I'll call you when I need you."
"Understood, Master."
Qin Yun opened the projection and switched to the chat group interface.
The group members were extremely active, flooding the chat with 99+ messages every minute.
At this moment, Xi Ling appeared by Qin Yun's side again.
"Master, do you need me to create a game website for you? And handle the daily maintenance?"
"You can see the chat group?" Qin Yun looked at Xi Ling, somewhat surprised.
Xi Ling explained, "Xi Ling is highly bound to Master, sharing life, soul, and all abilities."
"As long as Master allows me to connect, Xi Ling can connect to the other side."
Qin Yun said, "Alright, build a website. Relying on the chat group all the time, I don't know when it might crash."
"Very well, Master. Please wait a few minutes."
Xi Ling nodded obediently.
A few minutes later, a website interface appeared in the projection.
"It is done, Master."
The interface style was very simple, but it had all the essentials.
There was also a large reservation option.
Qin Yun inspected it, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
"The page is too empty. Put the data and information for Imperial Glory and Planet Automata on it; don't leave it looking like there's nothing there."
"Understood."
"."
Xi Ling updated some information and functions according to Qin Yun's ideas.
This allowed those who clicked in to understand the current game content.
After confirming there were no issues, Qin Yun opened the group chat interface.
The Company Slave Drafted by the Emperor: "@everyone, the official game website is now live. From now on, any news, update announcements, or expansion packs will be posted on the website."
"The website has also opened reservations. Once slots are released, they will be randomly drawn from those who have reserved. For professional testing, you no longer need to send it to the administrators; submit it directly to the website, and there will be dedicated personnel to review it."
"A forum has also been opened. Everyone can post strategy guides, tutorials, and personal insights. Posts that are highlighted will receive rewards."
"At the same time, a recording function has been enabled. Videos filmed by players can be uploaded to the Imperial Glory database. If they are evaluated and found to be fine, they will be sent back to the players."
After saying this, Qin Yun went invisible again.
"Holy crap, they finally launched a website."
"You can tell this game developer is focused on making the game; they really don't care about making money."
"The game has been in closed beta for over half a month, and they only just launched the website. All I can say is 666."
"."
Watching the messages in the group chat, Luo Baode was the first to click into the website.
The website interface was very simple. The database only contained introductory information about areas like Imperial Glory and Planet Automata, while everything else remained blank.
"This game company really isn't interested in making money!!"
Luo Baode complained.
He clicked the reservation option, and upon seeing the notification that the reservation was successful with 5,500 people currently registered, his heart sank.
There were six hundred slots this time, yet thousands of people were competing for them.
If it were a random selection, the probability was only a fraction of a percent.
It was truly too difficult.
When would he finally be able to serve the Emperor!
In a university dormitory in the real world.
Sun Yi, who had just returned from class, opened the chat group and saw the news about the website update.
There were also strategy guides updated by players, as well as uploaded photos and videos.
His face immediately lit up with joy.
"The material should be enough; I can make another video for my 'I Work Like a Dog for the Emperor' series."
Last time, he used his blogger account "A Bowl of Lobster Soup" to make a few videos about Warhammer Online.
Once released, they went viral, were well-received, and his follower count skyrocketed.
He even received a reward from the Guide in the game, who said he had made a significant contribution to the Emperor.
The Guide also promised him that once things stabilized, he would be given the position of Recruitment Officer.
He would be specifically responsible for recruiting troops for the Emperor and scraping together currency.
"I have to work really hard."
Sun Yi knew very well how difficult it was to obtain a position in the game.
So far, the number of players who had successfully obtained positions could be counted on one hand.
They all possessed professional skills or had made significant contributions.
Having a position was also very helpful for later development.
In a completely realistic game world, if one wanted to advance to higher levels, one had to start from the bottom.
Today he was only responsible for recruiting, but tomorrow he could be a commander of a grand legion.
Imperial Glory.
After lurking in the chat group for a while, Qin Yun closed the group chat and the website interface.
He left them for Xi Ling to manage.
At this moment, a golden light screen appeared.
[Special Mission: Resurrect Roboute Guilliman
Reward: A generous amount of Faith Points, one legendary-grade weapon
]
[Special Mission: Resurrect Sanguinius
Reward: A generous amount of Faith Points, one Legendary-grade power armor
]
[Special Mission:]
[Special Mission: Find the lost Jagatai
Reward: A generous amount of Faith Points, one God-grade weapon
]
Qin Yun thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, so he rubbed them and looked again.
He discovered that the golden light screen was still hovering right in front of him.
"Is the Emperor hosting a variety show called 'Where Are the Sons'?"
"Why are all the new special missions about finding his sons??"
"And why does it feel like there are more and more missions!!"
Qin Yun complained silently to himself.
The Emperor certainly knew how to pile on the workload.
At the beginning, his mission was just to pull in players to work like cattle and horses.
Once he reached level 10, the Emperor rolled out a bunch of limited-time missions.
Now, he had introduced special missions to recover the Primarchs.
Truly, the more capable you are, the more work you get.
At this rate, once his level gets even higher, he was afraid that missions to crusade against the Eye of Terror or the Maelstrom would start popping up too.
