Imperial Glory Upgrade: New Return-to-City Function

The update announcement had barely been posted on the official website when it went viral on forums and chat groups.

A Bowl of Lobster Soup: "Leisure? Does it mean the kind of leisure where you have to chop people up nine times in three days? (Funny. JPG)"

Director Qi Wants Progress: "Hello, is this 110? I'm reporting a game company for false advertising."

God-Chosen Alpaca: "Khorne be speechless, Slaanesh will be in tears!! How can the official account have the nerve to promote itself as a casual entertainment platform?"

Second Empire Warmaster: "I never expected the new version to have teleportation!! This is amazing, I thought it would take days to run around the map!!"

Slaanesh's Ten-Times-A-Night Stud: "I've finished my tasks with the Guides, so now I'll take some time to analyze the new version for you guys."

Slaanesh's Chosen Porn-Peddler: "Support! Support! Strongly support!"

Nurgle-Kissing Fatty: "Grab your stools and melon seeds, and wait for the big boss to show you the way."

The Milk Dragon Wants to be Emperor's Chosen: "I have nothing to repay you with, so here's a hug from the Milk Dragon."

Slaanesh's Ten-Times-A-Night Stud: "Milk Dragon Wants to be Emperor's Chosen, we do not recommend repaying kindness with enmity."

Milk Dragon Wants to be Emperor's Chosen: "..."

"..."

Soon, a post titled "Detailed Explanation of the New 2.0 Version Update Mechanism in Warhammer Online" appeared on the Warhammer Online forum.

"Hello everyone, this is Ten-Timer. It's great to see you all again."

"It has been almost half a year since the Warhammer Online closed beta. The official team has made several updates, including updates to the mission module, Cybernetic Prosthetics Shops, new maps, and new NPCs."

"However, this is the first time we've had such a large-scale version update, so it's necessary to write a long article for a comprehensive analysis."

"Next, let's analyze the content of this update step by step."

"The first issue is commercial finance, which we've discussed many times."

"Warhammer Online is a 100% realistic virtual reality game. Acquiring equipment is quite difficult; you can only buy it by earning money yourself."

"Not only are the prices exorbitant, but the penalties for death are also severe."

"Once you die, all your equipment will drop. If you're unlucky, you can unlock the 'penniless' achievement after dying a few times."

"To prevent players from going out naked, the official team has launched a loan service."

"Players can use the Reputation System to borrow money to buy equipment and farm resources, enjoying the benefits first and paying later."

"The advantage of doing this is that players can get a good start in the early stages of the game, without having to go through the tedious process of leveling up and saving money."

"It will also motivate players more, and most players will work hard to earn money to pay off their debts."

"The downside is that if you die too many times, you can not only unlock being penniless, but also being heavily in debt."

"Especially for players who choose the mech route or the Adeptus Mechanicus route, it's very expensive. Although the damage output is high, the cost-effectiveness is really not high."

"The exchange of the second Contribution Points for Sky Eagle Coins has been mentioned in previous updates."

"This time the effort has been intensified, and it is highly likely that the Guide and the Primarch have reached an agreement."

"As we all know, all updates to Warhammer Online are closely related to the development of the storyline."

"To give a simple example, in the Cybernetic Prosthetics Shop not long after the game starts, we have to rescue Priest Hina first before this NPC can become part of our game."

"The fact that the official announcement specifically linked Contribution Points to Sky Eagle Coins suggests that it has likely received endorsement from the Primarch."

"We all know that Guilliman is the Regent of the Imperium of Man. As long as he is willing to endorse it, Contribution Points can be used as Imperium currency."

"In the future, the Imperium may lend us money again, but this will require further improvement in commercial finance."

"The third, and most significant, update in this version is the addition of the return-to-town function, which is present in every RPG game."

"To be honest, Warhammer Online is very realistic, but the map is too big. It's really unbearable to spend days just to run around the map."

"Dying once will make you mentally explode, because you have to start running all over again."

"The official introduction of the teleportation function means that players in Macragge can travel to the Sotha with just one teleport, which is convenient, fast, and saves players' time, allowing them to focus more on the game."

"Are you all surprised, delighted, or excited about the launch of this feature?"

"If you're happy, then you're being too happy too soon. Please note that the announcement says 'soon,' which means it still needs improvement."

"..."

Upload the completed post to the official forum.

Qian Donglai got up and brewed a pot of tea.

As soon as I got back, I saw the official website message indicating 999+.

"It's as popular as ever."

Qian Donglai clicked on the link with a smile and picked out a few comments to read.

"As always, the Tenth Master is very capable. He is indeed a finance professional, and his thinking is very clear."

"Ten-Timer is awesome, thanks for sharing."

"."

"These guys still have some conscience."

Qian Donglai a sip of tea, then Warhammer Cattle-Horse Group 1 chat to see what people were talking about.

Night Lord Asks If Your Scalp Is Itchy: "By the way, where's Old Thirteen today? He's always been so active."

Let Me Treat You to Turtle Soup: "You haven't won eight times in a row, you're probably heartbroken."

Brother of the September Ninth Remembrance Chapter: "Let's not be so cruel to him in the future."

Guilliman is the Only Sun: "Now that you've lost me, you know how sad you are, right? Hurry up and give me a reservation."

Zhuge Seven Captures Ka'Bandha: "Old Thirteen, you're not being proactive this time. Tell me quickly, are you disloyal to the Emperor?"

Guilliman is the Only Sun: "I was held back by a woman who insisted on dragging me into doing hardware and software engineering. After several debriefings, I finally have time to pick up my phone."

Twisted People Use Twisted Hammers: "Are you even capable? You've gone through several reviews; you'd be lucky to get it done even once."

"..."

While drinking tea, Qian Donglai watched the group chat as people engaged in in-depth discussions and debates about the hardware software engineering project.

"A bunch of fun-loving people."

After finishing his tea, Qian Donglai stretched his limbs, then picked up his gaming helmet, ready to continue his arduous gaming journey.

He felt obligated to act out of loyalty.

On the Sotha, a large number of Necron Constructs are working diligently.

Xi Ling gained supreme control over Pharos and this Necron Constructs.

These Necron Constructs would carry out any order she gave without fail.

It must be said that the speed of the Necron Construct is really fast.

In just a few days, a habitable colonial city was built.

A completely new artificial atmosphere, along with a complete life support system.

When the displaced people of Sotha set foot on this land again, they wept uncontrollably.

When the Kraken Zerg attacked, the Genestealers seized the opportunity to launch a rebellion, plunging the Hive City into internal strife.

Sotha's defenses crumbled, leaving it wide open, and it was easily overrun by the Zerg fleet.

The Scythes of the Emperor Chapter was forced to leave with the uncontaminated civilians.

After a life of hardship and displacement, they became like duckweed.

Many people's dying wish is to return to Sotha, to the homeland where they grew up.

Now, my wish has finally come true, and I have returned to my homeland.

Qin Yun also had a black Tombstone erected at the entrance of the former Fortress-Monastery of the Scythes of the Emperor Chapter.

Although the hero has passed away, his deeds should not be forgotten.

The achievements of the Scythes of the Emperor Chapter are inscribed on a stone tablet for posterity to learn about.

Qin Yun also unexpectedly saw many returning citizens of Sotha spontaneously heading to the black stone monument to pay tribute to the Scythes of the Emperor Chapter.

This scene made Qin Yun very gratified.

It was a fitting tribute to the Scythes of the Emperor Chapter for their kindness in leading them through their exile.

One day, the Scythes of the Emperor will be reborn from the ashes on the Sotha.

The spirit of heroes will be reborn in those who remember them, as if they had never left.

Cawl also instructed the Adeptus Mechanicus initiate the planetary repair program.

Missionaries rebuilt the statues of Emperors and Living Saints, Purification the planet's soul, and cleansed the pollution left behind by Tyranid.

Once everything is ready,

Giant harvesting ships collect ice blocks from outer space and melt them into water.

It also contains special algal spores and specially selected bacteria.

Send it to the surface of the planet and wait for it to recover.

After resolving the issue with Sotha, Qin Yun instructed Xi Ling to upgrade the Imperial Glory.

Numerous Necron Constructs relentlessly mine resources on the surface of the Earth, day and night, in the asteroid belt.

Large quantities of minerals were transported to the Imperial Glory, where they were then broken down into streams of light by the Xi Ling.

The radiance seeped into the steel hull of the Imperial Glory, causing the warship to undergo another earth-shattering transformation.

The ship's structure was redesigned, reaching a height of five kilometers and a length of twelve kilometers.

According to the Imperial Navy's ship classification system, this is already a battleship.

The armor on the surface of the Imperial Glory has also been fully upgraded, using Active Metals that can automatically repair and multiply.

As long as Active Metals are given enough energy or resources, they can continuously grow and repair themselves.

Unless it suffers enough damage in a short period of time, the Imperial Glory is an unkillable cockroach.

Firepower units such as the Lance and Macro-cannon have also been upgraded, with improvements in damage and accuracy.

Another crucial upgrade to the Imperial Glory was the construction of a small Beacon by Xi Ling within its Imperial Glory.

This Beacon uses the exact same technology as the Pharos Beacon.

The two Beacon can also resonate, thus affecting a larger area.

When the Imperial Glory is fully upgraded and the two Beacon resonate, the will of Qin Yun and Xi Ling will radiate throughout the entire Ultramar.

It also allows players to communicate in real time, but requires the cooperation of the Beacon.

"We can issue a new announcement now, telling them to enable the return-to-city function. Currently, the only places they can return to are the Imperial Glory and Sotha."

"Also, send an update message to the players in Macragge and ask them to update their Data Slate."

Hearing Qin Yun's words, Xi Ling nodded.

"Yes, Master, I will do it right away."

Players within the Beacon's influence area heard a "ding" sound at the same time.

They habitually take out their Data Slate.

The message indicates that new features are available for update.

[A new version has been detected. The new version adds a real-time chat channel and a teleportation feature back to town. Do you wish to update?]

Meanwhile, the official website also issued an update notice.

After several days of effort, the new version's instant messaging and recall functions have been improved.

The communication between Macragge and Sotha is now connected. Players can start communicating and chatting after updating to the latest features on the Data Slate.

Return-to-town teleport function: Currently, you can choose the return-to-town location:

1: Sotha, the homeworld of the Scythes of the Emperor, has been plundered by the Tyranids, but the Indomitable people of Sotha are trying to rebuild it. If you are passionate about construction and restoration, Sotha is the ideal choice.

2: Imperial Glory, the flagship of the Guide, wanders in the Void. The great Guide is working hard for the fate of mankind. If you have valuable information, you can tell him, and he will give you a generous reward.

Note: Teleportation requires Faith Points, the exact amount of which varies depending on the distance, items carried, and difficulty level.
