Relic Blessing

Withdrawing his consciousness from the Warhammer world, Chen Xi took a moment to clear his head before turning to the Servo-skull to inquire about his gains this time.

"Partially completed Task 1: Explore the current ruins."
"Current task progress: 5%"
"Partially completed Task 2: Clear the aliens within the ruins."
"Current task progress: 1%"
"Partially completed Task 4: Collect alien technology."
"Current task progress: 10%"
"Following comprehensive evaluation, you have been awarded 200 experience points and 100 points. The Emperor approves of your work and encourages you to continue your efforts."

Looking at his gains this time, Chen Xi stroked his chin, unimpressed. "Because I didn't completely finish the tasks, all I got this time was Big E's approval?"

Chen Xi wasn't particularly concerned about this result.

Currently, his only concern was increasing his permission level, as it determined how many pieces he could deploy to the Warhammer world and how much help they could provide him.

As for weapons and equipment, Chen Xi, already decked out in Relic gear, wasn't too concerned about those.

"Oh, right, almost forgot! Have the Planetary Governor send that set of Relic Power Armor and Relic Sword to the Adeptus Ministorum cathedral, to be guarded by the Sisters of Battle and blessed by the Bishop." Chen Xi, remembering the set of Relic equipment he had redeemed, quickly issued a new command to the Servo-skull.

Relic equipment was powerful, but the use of such potent items required extra care, and daily maintenance was essential.

Blessing, in particular, was an indispensable procedure. In fact, to some extent, a Relic was a Relic precisely because it had been imbued with immense power through the prayers and worship of believers.

To put it simply, blessing the equipment would add modifiers and special attributes, and daily offerings and blessings would help maintain the modifiers and keep the equipment in good condition.

After all, Relic equipment usually had a long history, and neglecting it could lead to malfunctions or damage, not to mention an unhappy machine spirit causing trouble.

Chen Xi didn't know the specifics of the two pieces of equipment he had redeemed, but since they were Relics, sending them for blessing was definitely the right move.

As for why he was sending them to the Adeptus Ministorum cathedral, it was mainly because the Sisters of Battle's monastery had not yet been built.

Once the Sisters of Battle's monastery was completed, Chen Xi would definitely send his equipment there, keeping it within his control.

Having resolved these issues, Chen Xi remembered the Sister of Battle who had died in action and asked the Servo-skull, "I lost a Sister of Battle. How do I replenish my forces?"

"You can choose to train a new Sister locally, allowing her to inherit the weapons and equipment of the fallen Sister."
"Alternatively, you can wait for the piece to cool down before redeploying it. Currently, the cooldown period for this piece is one rotation, i.e., one standard Terran day."
"You can also spend 1 point to forcibly end the cooldown and redeploy the piece (Note: Depending on the piece and the manner of death, the cooldown time and the points required to end the cooldown will vary)."

Seeing this series of messages, Chen Xi nodded in understanding.

Since he knew he could replenish the piece tomorrow, he stopped paying attention to the issue.

As long as he confirmed that his pieces could be restored to normal use, he could quickly make up for any missing Sisters of Battle, and the losses wouldn't be so significant.

He could even potentially exploit a bug and use this trick to farm the Sisters of Battle's equipment.

Of course, Big E had directly prevented this from the source. The replenished piece used the previous piece's equipment. Unless the equipment was completely lost or damaged, it would be inherited rather than refreshed.

However, Big E hadn't deliberately made things difficult for Chen Xi. If he was willing to spend points, he could buy equipment from Big E.

It was just that the prices of this equipment were… better to just look at them.

The point-based equipment sold by Big E was more for redeeming Relic equipment for Chen Xi's own use, whether to redeem it for the 3K world or to give it to his pieces in the 40K world. Both were good choices.

As for ordinary equipment in large quantities, it was better to go through the proper Imperial procurement channels.

"Speaking of which, I remember you said that I could invite others to participate in this game and travel to the Warhammer world together, right?" Chen Xi sorted out his thoughts and asked the Servo-skull.

"Yes, you can invite like-minded individuals to travel to the Warhammer world together and fight for the Emperor! The Emperor will not be stingy with his rewards."

"That sounds like an evil god luring ignorant youths to work for him..." Chen Xi quipped, but then asked the more crucial question: "After I invite them, how will these people travel to the Warhammer world? Will they get a Deployment Box like me to travel through, or will they need to go through me to travel?

What are the differences between their permissions, experience, and points after they travel, or are they exactly the same?"

Chen Xi asked a series of questions, but what he really wanted to know was the last one.

If the people he invited had the same permissions, experience, and points as him, without any differences, then this would be like an online game, and he was just the first internal beta tester.

Faced with this situation, Chen Xi might adjust his plans to invite others and instead choose to solve the problems on his own.

But if there were differences in permissions between him and others, then Chen Xi felt that there were many more things he could do. At least he could be more confident in inviting others.

"Currently, the only transdimensional channel is your Deployment Box. The Emperor has not deployed any additional transdimensional channels."
"Your permission level is higher than that of other invitees, and you can independently decide whether the invitee travels in Commander Mode or Adventure Mode."
"In Commander Mode, the invitee can only deploy their troops and control them through the Deployment Box."
"In this mode, the invitee can earn experience and points by completing combat missions. There is no discrimination in the permission to exchange items."
"In Adventure Mode, the invitee chooses a piece to project their consciousness onto, allowing them to travel to the Warhammer world."
"In this mode, the invitee can earn experience and points by completing various adventure missions, but cannot deploy troop pieces."

Hearing the Servo-skull's explanation, a smile appeared on Chen Xi's face. If that was the case, then his plans had great potential, and he could even play a big game.

However, after calming himself down a bit, Chen Xi restrained the tempting idea of 'doing something big' and decided to execute everything according to his original plan.
