Relic Blessing

After withdrawing his consciousness from the Warhammer world, Chen Xi took a moment to clear his head before looking at the Servo-skull and asking about what he had gained this time.

Task One Partially Completed: Explore the current ruins

Current task progress: 5%

Task Two Partially Completed: Clear the xenos within the ruins

Current task progress: 1%

Task Four Partially Completed: Collect xenos technology

Current task progress: 10%

After overall evaluation, you have received 200 experience points and 100 points. The Emperor approves of your work and encourages you to keep it up.

Looking over his gains, Chen Xi rubbed his chin indifferently. "Because I didn't fully complete the tasks, all I got this time was Big E's approval?"

Chen Xi did not particularly care about that result.

For now, the only thing he cared about was raising his permission level. After all, that determined how many pieces he could deploy to the Warhammer world and how much help they could bring him.

As for weapons and equipment, Chen Xi, already clad in Relic equipment from head to toe, was not especially concerned about them.

"Right, I nearly forgot! Have the governor send that set of Relic Power Armor and the Relic Blade to the Ecclesiarchy church. Let the Sisters of Battle guard them, and ask the Bishop to perform a Relic Blessing." Remembering the Relic equipment he had exchanged for, Chen Xi hurriedly gave the Servo-skull a new order.

Relic equipment might be powerful, but using such formidable gear required extra care, and it had to be meticulously maintained on a daily basis.

Among those procedures, blessings were indispensable. To a certain extent, Relics were Relics precisely because the prayers and worship of believers had endowed them with great power.

Put simply, once equipment received blessings, it gained extra modifiers and special attributes. Daily offerings and blessings helped preserve those modifiers while maintaining the equipment.

After all, Relic equipment generally had a very long history. If it was not cared for properly, never mind actual malfunctions or damage—even an unhappy Machine Spirit would be enough to make someone suffer.

Chen Xi did not know exactly how good the two items he had exchanged for were, but since they were Relics, sending them off for blessings could not be wrong.

As for why he was sending them to the Ecclesiarchy church, it was mainly because the Sisters of Battle's convent had not begun construction yet.

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

Having settled those matters, Chen Xi remembered the Sister of Battle who had died in action and asked the Servo-skull, "One of my Sisters of Battle was killed in battle. How do I replenish my ranks?"

You may choose to train a new Sister locally and have her inherit the weapons and equipment of the fallen Sister.

You may also wait for this piece's cooldown to end before deploying it again. Its current cooldown is one cycle, equivalent to one standard Holy Terra day.

You may spend 1 point to forcibly end the cooldown and redeploy the piece. Note: Depending on the piece and the manner of death, both cooldown duration and the points required to remove it may differ.

Seeing the string of messages, Chen Xi nodded in understanding.

Now that he knew he could restore that piece tomorrow, he stopped dwelling on the issue.

As long as he could confirm that his pieces could be restored to normal use, the Sisters of Battle he lacked would soon be replenished. The loss itself was no longer so important.

If he could exploit a bug, Chen Xi could even use this method to farm Sisters of Battle equipment.

Of course, Big E had eliminated that possibility at the source. Replacement pieces used the equipment of the previous piece. Unless the equipment was completely lost or damaged, it would be inherited rather than refreshed.

Still, Big E had not deliberately made things difficult for Chen Xi. As long as he was willing to spend points, he could buy equipment from Big E.

It was just that the prices of that equipment... Better not look. Really, better not look.

The point-based equipment Big E sold was more suited to exchanging for Relic equipment for Chen Xi's own use. Whether he exchanged it into the 3K world or handed it to his pieces in the 40K world, it was an excellent choice.

As for ordinary equipment in abundant supply, it was better to go through the Empire's official procurement channels.

"Come to think of it, I remember you said I could invite other people to participate in this game and travel to the Warhammer world together, right?" After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Xi asked the Servo-skull.

Yes. You may invite like-minded individuals to journey to the Warhammer world and strive for the Emperor! The Emperor will not be stingy with his rewards.

"That sounds exactly like a Chaos God tricking ignorant young people into working for him..." Chen Xi quipped, then asked the more crucial question. "So after I invite them, how will those people travel to the Warhammer world? Will they receive a Deployment Box like mine, or will they need to travel through me?

After they travel over, how will their permissions, experience, and points differ from mine? Or will they be exactly the same?"

Chen Xi had asked a whole string of questions, but the last one was what he truly wanted to know.

If the people he invited enjoyed the same permissions, experience, and points as he did, with no difference whatsoever, then this was essentially an online game, and he was merely the first closed-beta player to get in.

Faced with that situation, Chen Xi might revise his plans for inviting others and choose to solve the problems alone instead.

But if there were differences in permissions between him and the others, then Chen Xi believed there was much more he could do. At the very least, he could be far bolder about inviting people.

The current travel passage is limited to your Deployment Box. The Emperor has not deployed any additional travel passages.

Your permission level is higher than that of other invitees, and you may independently decide whether invitees travel in Commander Mode or Adventure Mode.

In Commander Mode, invitees may only deploy their troops and control them through the Deployment Box.

In this mode, invitees may gain experience and points by carrying out combat missions. There is no difference in their authority to exchange items.

In Adventure Mode, invitees choose one piece for consciousness projection and may travel to the Warhammer world in consciousness.

In this mode, invitees may gain experience and points by completing various adventure tasks, but they cannot deploy troop pieces.

Hearing the Servo-skull's explanation, Chen Xi immediately smiled. If that was how it worked, then his plan had plenty of potential. He could even make a big play.

But after calming himself slightly, Chen Xi still suppressed the tempting thought of making a big play and decided to proceed according to his original plan.
