Imperial World in a Box

Thanks to that burst of golden light, Chen Xi finally understood what was going on.

In short, Big E, sitting on his Golden Throne, had been constipated for so long that the filth surging up from the Warp sewers finally poked him in the rear end, opening his mind and prompting him to recruit some hammer-wielders from Terra of the 3K era to the 40K era, so these Emperor's counterfeits could save the Imperium.

Of course, Big E also knew that simply throwing people into the Imperium, this oversized cesspool, would be pointless except to send little snacks to the four Chaos Gods.

So, after careful consideration, he came up with a plan, the concrete manifestation of which was the large box in front of Chen Xi.

The specific explanation is complex, involving a series of things like psykers, the Warp, and higher dimensions.

But, to put it simply, this box could connect to the Warhammer world, and Chen Xi could travel to the Warhammer world through it.

Of course, if that was all there was to it, Chen Xi would have sealed the box immediately and sent it to East Chang'an Avenue, No. 14. Whoever wanted to go to that blasted Warhammer world could go!

But Big E had set up some functions for the box, which made Chen Xi very interested in the whole thing.

Considering the danger of traveling to the Warhammer world, Big E didn't plan to let Chen Xi travel directly, but instead adopted a possession technique.

Chen Xi could put Warhammer miniatures into the box as his proxies, either controlling them through the box, or directly possessing them and going to the Warhammer world himself.

Moreover, the box had a point system, determining how many points worth of miniatures Chen Xi could deploy.

Currently, Chen Xi's permission was only Level I, with a miniature deployment limit of 500 points.

Although it was a very low value, according to the rulebook, 500 points was actually enough to throw Lord Regent Guilliman and Lion El'Jonson down there, with a squad of stretcher-bearers thrown in for good measure.

Of course, if Chen Xi used a Primarch, it would only be equivalent to a clone Primarch created by Fabius Bile. Although the physical qualities were the same as the original, a Primarch without the Warp essence was only so strong.

Both Fabius Bile and Belisarius Cawl had created clone Primarchs, but their strength... Abaddon with the pointy head had even chopped down a clone Horus.

However, it was still a Primarch-level physique.

Keep in mind that even Guilliman, the weakest Primarch in combat and known as a psychic null, could physically punch a Veteran of the Long War from the Black Legion out of the room when he got out of bed.

This was clearly reflected in the point values. Even Guilliman, the weakest of the Primarchs, cost 300 points, while a Primaris Space Marine was only 20 points, and a regular Terminator was 33 points.

In other words, if Chen Xi was really willing to exchange his initial 500 points for a clone Primarch and a squad of Terminators, he could really enjoy the pleasure of going on a rampage in the Warhammer world with a Primarch and a squad of stretcher-bearers.

With this function, Chen Xi had the confidence to go to the Warhammer world.

After all, he was a man with 20,000 points worth of models. When his permission level and point value increased, he could borrow a few 30K Primarchs from his friends and give Abaddon with the pointy head a surprise!

As for how to increase permissions and point values, it was necessary to mention the task system that Big E had created to get the hammer-wielders he recruited to work.

After all, Big E, who had been poked through the rear end, knew that if he freeloaded off the hammer-wielders, they definitely wouldn't work.

Moreover, bringing people to the Warhammer world and projecting real, usable units with miniatures was also very power-consuming. He couldn't let the hammer-wielders throw down units worth thousands or tens of thousands of points right from the start.

So, Big E created this task system. The recruited hammer-wielders needed to complete tasks to increase their permissions, thereby unlocking higher point values and deploying more troops.

And in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, Big E also tiered the permissions, with different permissions unlocking different levels of units.

For example, Chen Xi's current Level I permission limited the miniatures he could use to the Astra Militarum, Inquisition, and Order of the Sisters of Battle, and only granted permission for some infantry units.

Vehicles such as Valkyries and Rhinos could only be unlocked with Level II permission, and Space Marines required Level III permission.

As for the gene-Primarchs, they required Level VII permission.

Of course, if tasks were completed, in addition to gaining experience to increase permissions, points could also be obtained to exchange for various rewards.

These rewards included, but were not limited to, Master-crafted Power Weapons, Relic Power Armour, relic equipment personally crafted by Vulkan, Adeptus Mechanicus custom-made Imperial Knights of various models, and even an Emperor-class Titan.

These things weren't models, they were real, usable equipment, and they could be brought back to this world.

Moreover, Big E also provided various types of body enhancements, such as Space Marines, Psykers, and Adeptus Custodes. Chen Xi even saw that the most expensive one was written as 'Custom Gene-Primarch Modification (with Warp essence version)'.

"Damn it, did Big E sell his Golden Throne? He's really going all out!" Chen Xi complained, but it was hard not to be tempted.

I mean, what hammer-wielder could resist actually putting on a suit of power armour, wielding a crackling power weapon, and being able to slaughter like a real tin can? There was even the possibility of truly becoming an Angel?

Don't even mention Chen Xi, even Old K couldn't refuse the temptation of an Angel!

"So, what's my first task? Bring it on! I can't wait to sample it!" Chen Xi looked eagerly at the Servo-skull in front of him, waiting for his first task.

Hearing Chen Xi's words, the Servo-skull projected a text towards Chen Xi, explaining the task.

"Confirmed completion of the newbie tutorial, issuing newbie task"

"Newbie Task: The New Governor"

"Task Content: As the first test subject of the Emperor's grand plan, the merciful and generous Emperor has prepared an Imperial World for you. You have been appointed as the Planetary Governor of this world. Please familiarize yourself with the content that a Governor should know and try to manage this world."

"Please note that your every decision will affect the fate of this planet, and even the future fate of the entire Imperium. Please make every choice and decision carefully."

"The Emperor does not restrict your actions. You can invite others to join this great game."

"But please note that the decisions and choices you each make will truly affect the entire world. Please take it seriously."

The last two lines seemed to be particularly emphasized, and even the color was changed to red.

However, Chen Xi didn't pay much attention to this. Eager to experience the Warhammer world, he had already buried himself in the shelves, searching for usable miniatures.
