The Eighth Batch of Players Goes Online (Bonus Chapter)

"Villains just talk too much."

Qin Yun sheathed the Blade of Divine Judgment with a blank expression.

Seeing Fulgrim banished, Guilliman's lips curled into a smile.

He knew Fulgrim's temper well; he was probably furious right now.

"The Guide's temperament is truly a model for us all!!"

Guilliman decided to learn from Qin Yun.

If something makes others unhappy, don't make yourself unhappy.

The appearance of Fulgrim's avatar caused panic among the people.

But after Qin Yun killed him with a single sword strike, everything returned to calm.

The cheers grew even louder, and voices praising Qin Yun rose and fell.

Qin Yun could see his Faith Points balance soaring upwards like he'd been injected with adrenaline.

The celebration was large in scale, with participation from all the Imperium units.

Although the little incident involving Fulgrim occurred,

But overall, it's still pretty perfect.

The frustration and despair in people's hearts were swept away.

Instead, confidence and hope prevailed.

They firmly believed that with Guilliman's return...

Humanity will surely drive out the powerful enemy and restore its former glory.

After the celebration, related videos and photos were posted on the official website forum by Xi Ling.

Seeing so many players who followed the Guide to Macragge able to participate in the grand event and appear on camera,

It's not just Spectator Players are envious.

The players who stayed on Planet Automata were extremely envious.

Dora is the Omnissiah: "I regret it! Why didn't anyone tell me I could play through the storyline during the parade and festival??"

"Declare War If Not Being A Dog: I just got a spot in the eighth batch of closed beta tests, sob sob, and I missed it."

The Peerless Lion Flying Head Fist: "I haven't even logged in yet, and you guys are already playing this big?"

MC Epic: "I'm so angry and cold, when will the teleportation be available?"

MC Mythology: "We must build a ship! I will never allow myself to be absent from any storyline again."

Second Empire Warmaster: "Why are you so excited? It's just a storyline! Young people should relax."

Dora is the Omnissiah: "You're not excited?? Then why aren't you wearing a helmet and using hair wax? You damn show-off."

"Once you return to Automata, take you directly to the Lance for execution, which will take at least twenty minutes."

Director Qi: "Wait a minute, Warmaster, aren't you only a freshman? Why are you calling others 'young people'?"

Second Empire Warmaster: "Elders aren't defined by age, don't you understand??"

Colonel Dutch: "I recognize every single Chinese character, but I don't recognize this combination."

"What the hell is this about calling elders regardless of age??"

Taozi Baby is the Handsomest: "Gritting teeth. jpg"

Pinocchio vs Snow White: "Kill them all! Kill them all! (Image)"

Guilliman is the Only Sun: "Guilliman has been resurrected, and I still haven't gotten a beta test spot. This world is so cold; I can't feel any love at all."

Meng Jiao: "@Guilliman is the Only Sun. Love needs to be 'done' to be felt. Why don't you buy an Orks version and pray to him every day?"

"Meng Jiao for 1 hour."

Guilliman is the Only Sun: "Meng Jiao, serves you right, always driving like that."

"."

After Qin Yun, who was spying on the screen, silenced Meng Jiao,

I also took a moment to check the number of reservations on the official website.

The number of reservations has now exceeded one million.

There are also quite a few English IDs inside.

It seems that, after GW's last official response,

Warhammer Online has also broken out of its niche and attracted many international players.

When the time comes, they'll all be treated like cattle and horses.

"Recruitment efficiency has been greatly improved, and the number of cattle and horses has reached a new high."

Qin Yun felt somewhat gratified.

Next, we need to urge the players to level up and work hard to improve their combat power!

"The problem is that with the expansion of territory, communication is inefficient, and players are difficult to manage."

Thinking of this, Qin Yun looked troubled.

He was in Macragge and knew absolutely nothing about the situation on the Planet Automata.

Xi Ling was able to gather information from the forum in order to keep track of the developments there.

If the Fourth Calamity is allowed to run rampant, the Milky Way will almost certainly be lost.

These guys are definitely darker than the Dark Mechanicus!!

They all wanted to transform into Horus and shout,

"If you can't save humanity, then let me..."

Qin Yun's head throbbed more and more as he thought about it.

This mess is truly disheartening.

The speed of light is like a snail's pace on Milky Way scale.

Information transmission often takes decades.

Astropathic Communication is not stable enough and is easily tampered with.

Xi Ling is the only hope left.

We'll ask her then, see if she can create clones like the Tyranids.

At that time, Automata one clone, Macragge will have one clone.

Qin Yun reached out and closed the chat group and the Warhammer Online website interface.

A golden light curtain suddenly appeared.

He was given a new task.

Mission: Build a new Beacon

As the Great Rift expands, half of the Imperium's territory is plunged into darkness. Warp Storm are frequent, and the Astronomican is no longer stable. The Imperium needs new means to guide its ships through Warp navigation.

Sotha preserves navigational beacons used by an ancient race that once traveled faster than light. Please retrieve them and have Xi Ling analyze them to obtain the technology within.

Reward: A large amount of Faith Points, unlocking the FTL Point-to-Point Teleportation 1.0 version.

(After Beacon is built, individual teleportation between player Beacon becomes possible Beacon. )

(Xi Ling can communicate regardless of space and distance by using Beacon and psionic energy)

"It's just like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy."

Qin Yun could not hide the excitement on his face.

He was just thinking about how to solve the problem of communicating with players at supersonic speeds.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor had already prepared a plan.

Without further ado, just do as instructed.

I go to the Beacon in Sotha whenever I have free time.

"The mission reward is version 1.0? That means there's a version 2.0 coming."

"Version 1.0 allowed individual players to teleport, so will version 2.0 allow group teleportation? And will version 3.0 allow fleet teleportation?"

Qin Yun looked at the task and smiled.

The future looks promising.

The Webway Project failed, and he sat on the Golden Throne for ten thousand years.

Emperor has also introduced a backup plan.

It seems they intend to bypass the Webway and Warp to achieve spatial jump.

It's like the Mass Effect, a point-to-point transmission.

If this can be achieved, the military capabilities of the Imperium of Man will increase exponentially.

After all, what has been the biggest drag on the Imperium in the past has been inefficient communication and the uncertainty of the Warp.

At that time, it will be like an arrow piercing the clouds, attracting thousands of ships to meet.

We must beat Titanium so badly that he begs for mercy on his knees.

A few days after the celebration ended, Voldus and his companions set off for the planet Crixus.

According to the message that came from there, Lucius was resurrected with the help of a bookseller.

The Grey Knights' library has always kept information about Lucius.

Voldus knew, of course, that Lucius would be resurrected in the body of the man who killed him.

The problem is that this time, the God Chosen Warmaster Lucius didn't die.

Instead, it was an ordinary person who had absolutely no connection to Lucius's death who died.

This matter is too strange and must be thoroughly investigated.

Voldus and his team were very fast.

Upon arriving on the planet Crixus, they immediately began their investigation.

The Grey Knights has extensive authority.

No department on the planet dared to obstruct it.

They were allowed to access their own databases and archives.

Voldus and his team quickly figured out what had happened.

"He was possessed simply by flipping through a book that described the Lucius incident?"

Voldus frowned.

When they first arrived in Macragge,

The God Chosen Warmaster is showing off his kill on Lucius everywhere, yet no one else is in trouble.

Why did this guy get possessed just by reading the story?

"Is it possible that the God Chosen was blessed by the God-Emperor, thus blocking Lucius's resurrection mechanism?"

"So those who listened to the God Chosen' boasts are all fine."

"As for the Book Inventory Clerk died after seeing the allusion, he is not within the God Chosen's chain of obstruction."

"So anyone who establishes even the slightest connection with Lucius is immediately used as a sacrifice for resurrection."

A fellow Grey Knights colleague's words struck Voldus as somewhat reasonable.

"In other words, the greatest role of the God Chosen is actually to prevent the gods of the Warp from corrupting humanity."

The other Grey Knights colleagues exchanged bewildered glances.

If that's the case, then when carrying out missions in the future...

I'll have to bring those clowns with me.

Let them do some critical tasks to stop the pollution and expansion of Chaos.

"Don't tell anyone about this yet."

Voldus looked at his companion,

"I need to conduct some experiments. If this hypothesis is confirmed, I will inform the other Grand Master and invite them to discuss this matter together."

The other Grey Knights nodded.

Planet Automata

The cathedral of Tyreen Hive City.

The crowd was bustling and noisy.

The eighth batch of players entering the game were the same as the previous players.

Looking at the lifelike world before him, he rubbed his eyes repeatedly and screamed.

Some even knelt before the statue of the God-Emperor, proclaiming that it was the power of Omnissiah that allowed them to play such a game.

"So it really is virtual reality?"

"That's amazing! Wow, look at this girl, wow, her skin is so smooth, it looks just like the real thing."

Smack!

"Rogue!"

"The feeling of being hit is so real, I love it."

"Hey, why are you arresting me? Oh, wait, are there crimes for indecent assault in games?"

One player who tried to take advantage of another was dragged out by the guards.

"This guy is really asking for it."

Why isn't there a logout button?

"."

The church was bustling with noise and chatter.

The veteran players, however, were used to it and found it unsurprising.

Every batch of players is like this.

After all, official videos are visible but intangible, so they aren't as impactful.

Only after logging into Warhammer Online can you truly experience the awe-inspiring sense of realism.

The projection that Xi Ling had left on Planet Automata appeared beforehand.

Welcome to Hell.

After the story was presented to the players according to the established procedure, the projection disappeared.

"That's it? No newbie gift pack at all?"

"There's no interface, no gift pack, are they just going to abandon us like this??"

"Where's the in-game store? I want to buy the Dragon-Slaying Saber, it deals 999+ damage per hit!"

"."

The various Chapter entered the arena and began recruiting members.

The Guide went to Macragge and participated in the major event of the Primarch's resurrection.

Many players are speculating about the next update.

The official system will allow players to purchase vehicles such as warships and barges to embark on interstellar exploration and conquest.

We need to recruit more people and stick together to gain an advantage in future interstellar exploration.

"Hey over here, Dora Guild is hiring! Do you have any STEM talents?"

"Interested in becoming Astartes?"

"Flesh and blood are weak, Mechanical Ascension. Brothers, let's welcome the glorious evolution together."

"...".

In the Spire District of Tyreen Hive City.

Feng, Hydrak, Casca, and other high-ranking officials observed the God Chosen via drones.

They arranged for someone to assign tasks to these new God Chosen through the communication system.

For example, training, challenges, or transporting goods to other Hive City.

These were all things the Guide instructed them to do before they left.

After the Chapter recruited its members and made arrangements for the remaining God Chosen, the senior members finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I wonder when the Guide will return!! The Colin Family's rebellion is getting worse and worse; they've taken over more than half of the territory in the Calixis Sector."

Feng's tone was full of worry.

The Colin Family's business acumen is remarkable, with a complex and intertwined network of influence.

They hid the rebellion so well beforehand; some families, who were clearly their allies, pretended to be from the opposing camp, deceiving everyone.

After the rebellion, the Sector government discovered that the Colin Family was everywhere.

No matter how many traitors you catch, you can't catch them all; all sorts of intelligence are leaked.

The Loyalists suffered repeated defeats and lost much territory.

If this continues, the Calixis Sector will fall into the hands of the Colin Family.

PS: One extra chapter, three chapters remaining.
