Emperor's Crate

"Hello, you have a package; I left it at the supermarket at the entrance of the community."

Receiving the call, Chen Xi went downstairs grumbling, dissatisfied with the increasingly perfunctory delivery service.

In the past, they would at least call when they arrived downstairs, but now they just dump it at the entrance of the community. Door-to-door delivery is just empty talk.

Although he understood that the sheer volume of deliveries nationwide meant there weren't enough delivery drivers, that still wasn't a reason for him not to complain.

Understanding was one thing, but venting his emotions with curses was another.

Arriving at the supermarket at the entrance of the community, Chen Xi cursed even more foully, because the package he received was a large, meter-square box that was difficult to even move.

If he wasn't somewhat acquainted with the supermarket owner and borrowed a trolley, Chen Xi wouldn't have been able to get the thing back home.

After getting the box home and returning the trolley, Chen Xi finally opened the box.

Immediately, he revealed an expression of surprise and joy, yet also confusion.

Inside the box was another box, but this one was a metal box, filled with a sense of technology and sharply defined lines, yet ornately decorated, with a rather rugged mechanical feel. On the front of the box was a double-headed eagle emblem.

"What in the Emperor's Asshole is this?! I don't remember buying any Warhammer merchandise?" Chen Xi puzzledly took the metal box out of the cardboard box.

While taking out the box, he unexpectedly discovered that although the metal box looked to be a meter square, it was surprisingly light. He lifted the metal box up with ease.

"What is this thing? There aren't even any instructions. How do I open it?" Chen Xi tapped and felt around the box, but couldn't figure it out for a long time.

It wasn't until he touched a skull-shaped decoration on the side of the box that he activated the box... no, he should say, the skull embedded in the box.

"Gene unverified, unable to start"

"Permissions activated, current permission level I, available unit score 0/500"

"Current task: Inactive"

"Please complete the newbie guide as soon as possible, activate the task, for the Emperor!"

Hearing the mechanical voice say "For the Emperor," Chen Xi almost couldn't hold back and nearly slid to his knees to kowtow to the Emperor.

But he quickly calmed down and began to suspect who was playing a prank on him.

"The craftsmanship is quite exquisite, the material is metal, this level of work wouldn't be cheap..." Chen Xi tapped the box again, feeling it up and down. "But what's inside such a big box? It can't just be a recorded voice message, right?"

Chen Xi touched the skull, tapped it, and after discovering that the texture of this thing was really bone, his expression changed slightly. He muttered, "They wouldn't really spend so much to get me a real skull, would they? Is this resin casting or 3D printed? How do I start this thing?"

"Please enter gene sample"

The skull's eyes lit up with red light, and then the jaw popped open, revealing a gap where a finger could be inserted.

"Crap, they're not really going to give me a blood oath like in those cheesy dramas, are they?" Chen Xi looked at the gap in front of him, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and stuck his hand in.

"Ow!" Chen Xi cried out, as if his hand had been bitten by something.

In fact, it was almost the same. When Chen Xi pulled his hand out, there was a blood sampling point on his finger. Obviously, he had really been pricked.

"Damn it, it really is a blood oath." Chen Xi cursed, put his finger in his mouth to suck it, and then frantically looked for a band-aid.

At this time, the box in front of him also completed the authentication process.

"Gene sample has been entered, gene verification successful, 100% human genes, no Warp contamination detected, no genetic mutations detected"

"Related permissions have been bound, current permission level I, available unit score 0/500"

"Permissions activated, current permission level I, available unit score 0/500"

"Current task: Inactive"

"Please complete the newbie guide as soon as possible, For the Emperor!"

Immediately, the top of the box opened, splitting in two along the golden double-headed eagle emblem, and unfolding into a two-meter-long, one-meter-wide rectangular box, almost filling Chen Xi's room.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xi was startled and took a step back. Fortunately, there was a shelf holding models behind him, so he didn't fall.

If it was just a box, it wouldn't have scared him so much, but then the skull embedded in the box flew up on its own and flew in front of Chen Xi, which really scared him speechless.

"Omnissiah, is that really a Servo-skull?" Chen Xi carefully reached out to it, seemingly wanting to touch it.

However, the skull only shot out two beams of red light from its eye sockets, scanned Chen Xi's body, and then said again in a rigid electronic voice:

"Facial and body information recorded, start newbie guide?"

"Wait a minute! What exactly are you? And what's going on?" Chen Xi stopped the skull, trying to ask what was happening.

Although as a Warhammer fan, he had at least 20,000 points worth of Warhammer models on the two-meter-high cabinet behind him, and he usually shouted things like "Emperor's Asshole," but when a real Servo-skull floated in front of him, his love for Warhammer was just like Ye Gong's love for dragons.

Especially for Warhammer fans, Warhammer? A world that even dogs wouldn't go to! The Emperor is a beast among beasts! Anyone who works for him has had their brain blessed by Nurgle!

However, Chen Xi couldn't really ignore such a large Servo-skull in front of him, and there was also such a large box, so he really wanted to know what was going on.

Although transmigrators cry like a kicked grot when they find out they've transmigrated to the Warhammer world, and your system will uninstall itself as soon as it knows it's come to the Warhammer world.

But for a Warhammer fan, if there really was a chance, who wouldn't want to wear power armor, wield a buzzing chainsword, and shout for humanity?

Faced with Chen Xi's question, the Servo-skull's eye sockets flashed red, and then it flew back, using the mechanical arm below the skull to take out a roll of parchment sealed with a Purity Seal from the box and hand it to Chen Xi.

"This workmanship... tsk tsk, if I take a picture and send it to the group, wouldn't those friends be envious to death?!" Although he said that, Chen Xi still opened the Purity Seal and unfolded the parchment in front of him as soon as possible.

As he unfolded the parchment, a golden light burst out from the parchment, causing Chen Xi to scream again and curse angrily, "Emperor, I f@#$ing...!"
