"If Xi Ling had a physical body, she could definitely become the Imperium's idol."
"After all, who wouldn't like a cute little angel?"
Qin Yun looked Xi Ling over and nodded in satisfaction.
"Master."
Xi Ling's voice pulled the distracted Qin Yun back to reality.
"Xi Ling, what can you do at this stage?"
Xi Ling held out her fingers and began counting.
"I can absorb knowledge, optimize designs, improve computational models, control unmanned mechanical intelligences, reverse-engineer technology, and more."
"With sufficient materials, I can also upgrade the Imperial Glory into a more powerful warship."
"Moreover, Xi Ling is highly bound to Master, so we can share each other's abilities and power."
"There are many things I can do. Master only needs to give the order."
Qin Yun stroked his chin.
This was practically another kind of cheat.
Leaving aside everything else, reverse-engineering technology alone was absurdly powerful.
The Imperium had so many creations of forbidden technology.
If he could reverse-engineer them all and mass-produce them on a large scale—
Why worry about failing to unify the galaxy and restore humanity's former glory?
Not to mention anything far off; just Blackstone Fortress and the Mountain Array Ship alone—if he built seven or eight hundred of them—
Who in the entire galaxy would still dare raise their voice at him?
He would make every race currently shouting about war and slaughter sing, dance, and love peace from then on.
The Silent King, Abaddon, and the like would be nothing more than heads waiting to be taken.
"Xi Ling, starting today, you will be responsible for guiding the God Chosen, issuing them missions, and calculating their mission rewards."
"The Contribution Points system, Reputation System, Honor Points system, and all other player-related matters will be under your charge."
"As for research missions, first optimize the Tomorrow Series Exoskeleton Power Armor."
"My requirement is that it be cheap and durable, suitable for mass deployment among ordinary soldiers."
The Imperium's current military equipment was truly inadequate.
In many wars, they could only pile up lives to win.
They had even been mocked by the T'au as space barbarians.
Qin Yun intended to start with Planet Automata.
Bit by bit, he would change things and allow humanity to regain technology and reason.
When hundreds of millions of Astra Militarum soldiers clad in Exoskeleton Armor, along with the massive Colossus Fleet, were sent to the Far East Front—
Qin Yun hoped those T'au would still retain their current arrogance and disdain for the Imperium.
Relevant computational model established. Optimizing the Tomorrow Series. Required time: 32h21min. Contribution Points system, Reputation System, and Honor Points system have been taken over. Relevant player missions have been optimized.
Qin Yun revealed a satisfied expression. "Very good. Go get busy for now. I'll call you when I need something."
"Alright, Master."
Qin Yun opened the projection and switched to the chat group interface.
The group members were extremely active, with over ninety-nine messages appearing every minute.
At that moment, Xi Ling appeared beside Qin Yun again.
"Master, would you like me to create an official game website for you and handle its daily maintenance?"
"You can see the chat group?" Qin Yun looked at Xi Ling in surprise.
Xi Ling explained, "Xi Ling is highly bound to Master. We share life, soul, and all abilities."
"As long as Master permits me to connect, Xi Ling can connect to the other side."
Qin Yun said, "Alright, make an official website. We can't keep using the chat group. Who knows when it might suddenly go down."
"Alright, Master. Please wait a few minutes."
Xi Ling nodded obediently.
A few minutes later, an official website interface appeared in the projection.
"It's ready, Master."
The interface was very simple, but it had all the basic features.
There was also a large registration option.
Qin Yun inspected it and found it somewhat unsatisfactory.
"The page is too empty. Put up information and data on the Imperial Glory and Planet Automata. Don't leave it completely bare."
"Alright."
"."
Xi Ling updated some information and functions according to Qin Yun's ideas.
This allowed anyone who entered the site to learn about the game's current content.
After confirming there were no problems, Qin Yun opened the group chat interface.
The Company Slave Drafted by the Emperor: "@Everyone, the official game website is now online. Future updates, announcements, and expansion packs will all be released there."
"The website also has registration open. Once slots are released, people will be randomly selected from those who registered. Professional testing applications no longer need to be sent to the administrators; submit them directly through the website, and dedicated staff will review them."
"A forum has also been opened. Everyone can post guides, tutorials, and personal experiences. Featured posts can receive rewards."
"At the same time, the recording function is now available. Recordings made by players can be uploaded to the Imperial Glory database. If they pass evaluation, rewards will be sent to the players."
After saying that, Qin Yun went invisible again.
"Damn, they finally launched an official website."
"You can tell this game developer is wholeheartedly focused on making games. They really don't care about making money."
"The closed beta has been running for over half a month, and they only just launched an official website. All I can say is, 666."
"."
Watching the chat messages, Luo Baode immediately entered the official website.
The website's interface was very simple. The database contained only introductory information about areas like the Imperial Glory and Planet Automata, while everything else was still blank.
"This game company really has no interest in making money!!"
Luo Baode grumbled.
He clicked the registration option, and after seeing the notice saying registration was successful and that the current number of registrants was 5,500—
His heart immediately sank.
There were six hundred slots this time, yet several thousand people had registered.
If it was random, his chances were less than one 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 had just returned from class when he opened the chat group and saw the news about the official website update.
There were also guides updated by players, as well as uploaded photos and videos.
His face immediately lit up with joy.
"There should be enough material now. I can make another episode of my Working Like a Slave for the Emperor series."
Previously, he had used his blogger account, "A Bowl of Lobster Soup," to make several videos about Warhammer Online.
They went viral as soon as they were released, became hugely popular, and greatly increased his follower count.
He had also received a reward from the Guide in the game, who said he had made a major contribution to the Emperor.
The Guide had even promised that once things stabilized, he would give Sun Yi a position.
"I have to work hard."
Sun Yi knew very well how difficult it was to obtain a position in the game.
So far, only a handful of players had successfully obtained one.
They either possessed professional abilities of their own or had made major contributions.
Holding a position would also be very helpful for later development.
In a completely real game world, anyone who wanted to rise to a higher rank had to start from the bottom.
Today, he might only be responsible for recruitment. Tomorrow, he could become the commander of a massive legion.
Imperial Glory.
After lurking in the chat group for a while, Qin Yun closed the chat and official website interfaces.
He handed them over to Xi Ling to operate.
At that moment, a golden screen appeared.
Special Task: Revive Roboute Guilliman Reward: A generous amount of Faith Points, one legendary weapon Special Task: Revive Sanguinius Reward: A generous amount of Faith Points, one legendary Power Armor Special Task: Find the lost Jagatai Reward: A generous amount of Faith Points, one divine weapon
Qin Yun initially thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed them and looked again.
The golden screen was still floating before him.
"Is the Emperor appearing on some variety show called 'Where Did My Son Go?'"
"Why are all these new special tasks about finding his sons??"
"And why does it feel like there are more and more missions!!"
Qin Yun muttered to himself.
The Emperor really knew how to pile burdens onto people.
At the beginning, his task had only been to bring in player laborers and make them work.
After reaching level 10, the Emperor had introduced a whole pile of limited-time missions.
And now, he had introduced special tasks to recover the Primarchs.
The more capable someone was, the more work they got.
At this rate, once his level rose a little higher—
Missions like conquering the Eye of Terror and the Maelstrom would probably appear as well.
