Among the confiscated spoils was a batch of data-slates.
Alex debugged them, connecting the data-slates to the Bridge's data network.
This way, the data-slates became information terminals for the Players.
They could check their earned contribution points, missions, and other information.
Of course, to level up and improve skills, they needed to go to the Emperor's Shrine.
"This game is awesome, you even have to buy the mission interface!! Sometimes, a game being too realistic isn't a good thing!!"
Zigman complained, looking at the data-slate which cost a whopping ten thousand points.
"You're absolutely right, it's practically bullying the Players."
Little Fatty said righteously, looking at Zigman.
Then, he turned to Alex and said fawningly, "Guide, I want one."
Zigman rolled his eyes, thoroughly despising the other party.
"I want one too," Old Bird also raised his hand.
Tenjiro jumped up and shouted, "I want one too."
"Me too." Seeing everyone else exchanging, Zigman couldn't bother complaining anymore and quickly asked for one.
Little Fatty quickly got the hang of it, unlocking the data-slate's additional features.
"This thing even comes with the warship's internal structure map and positioning; checking contribution points and missions are just secondary. Getting this is a steal."
Tenjiro nodded in agreement, "With this, doing missions will be more advantageous."
"First-mover advantage is great, one step ahead, always ahead," Old Bird said sincerely.
The data-slates were limited, and Alex still needed to keep a few in reserve, so it was impossible for everyone to have one.
The Players who got them were all laughing happily.
The Players who didn't get them were beating their chests and stamping their feet.
They wailed over missing the opportunity to experience Warhammer technology.
After equipping the Old Birds, Alex led them to the Praying Sanctuary to welcome a new batch of Emperor's Cannon Fodder.
[Remember the fastest novel site on the whole network 101kan.com]
Praying Sanctuary.
Thirty bright golden glows appeared, then slowly dissipated.
Thirty Players appeared neatly in front of the Emperor's sculpture.
Sam opened his eyes, looked around, and his dazed gaze was gradually replaced by intense shock.
A Servitor Skull happened to drag a prayer scroll past him.
The anti-gravity engine at the bottom scattered a Wei blue light, emitting a buzzing sound.
This... is Warhammer OL?
Metal-textured walls and floors.
The surrounding technological creations all had a strong religious element.
Taking a deep breath, he could smell incense and fuel.
It was too damn realistic.
"This game is awesome!!"
"Oh my god, my Emperor."
...
The Players who entered the game were all very excited, jumping and hopping.
There were even a few who kept banging their heads against pillars, getting big bumps, but they didn't cry out in pain, just kept giggling foolishly.
"Wow, so real."
Sam looked towards the source of the female voice and saw a girl with long, beautiful legs and short white hair.
"There are even soft girls in Warhammer?"
Other Players also turned to look.
"Could someone be playing a female character?"
"No, this game doesn't seem to allow gender selection or character customization. This person is really a girl."
At this moment, a majestic voice rang out.
"Quiet."
Instantly, everything fell silent.
The Players' gazes subconsciously followed the direction of the voice.
A tall, strong man, with a Boltgun and a Power Sword hanging at his waist, walked in from the doorway.
Behind him followed over a dozen Old Birds wearing simple armor and holding Lasguns.
The new Players had all read the strategy Guide of One Night Output Slaanesh Ten Times.
They knew that the one at the very front was the Emperor's Chosen Living Saint, and also their Guide.
Alex walked in front of the new Players, looked around, and then slowly spoke.
"Welcome to hell, Emperor's worthless currency."
"I am the Guide, the Emperor's Chosen Saint."
"The Despoiler has destroyed Cadia, and the Eye of Terror has lost control, tearing apart the galaxy."
"A terrifying Age of Darkness has descended again, human civilization is in peril, countless innocent people are trapped in despair and fear, and the heavy burden of saving them falls upon you."
After his opening remarks, Alex did not continue.
There were Guides in the group, plus the Old Birds to lead them.
There was no need to waste time on basic knowledge.
"Now, our mission is to reclaim the Imperial Glory."
"Currently, we have already retaken the Bridge area. Next, we will reclaim other areas."
"You can choose a team, join it, and follow the veterans."
"Learn well from them how to blow the heads off those enemies."
Alex beckoned, and Old Bird, Zigman, and Little Fatty, the three captains, stepped out and stood in front of the new Players.
Thirty new Players, just enough to add ten people to each team.
One Old Bird leading two new Players.
The teams were quickly assigned.
Alex had people distribute wrenches, pipes, and other weapons to the new Players.
"They don't even give us a gun."
Pigtail (Sky Braid is a Symbol of the Strong) looked at the pipe in his hand, feeling a bit speechless.
Little Fatty explained, "In the early stages, your job is just to carry corpses. If you want weapons, slowly save up contribution points to exchange for them."
"We used these to fight our way out of the Strategic Room," Old Bird said. "Our situation was much worse than yours is now."
"Ten minutes of free activity." Alex ignored the Players' complaints. "Later, we'll go on a clear-out mission."
After letting the new Players familiarize themselves with their bodies and the rules.
Alex led the Players through the ship's passageways towards the Mechanicum Sanctum.
The Mutants along the way couldn't cause any trouble, being harvested all the way, all becoming contribution points and experience.
The team quickly arrived at the gate of the Mechanicum Sanctum, adorned with skull and gear reliefs.
After entering the password, the gate slowly opened with the sound of gears turning and the hum of servo motors.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dense laser fire poured out from inside the Sanctum.
Several Players who wanted to charge ahead were instantly shot down.
Other Players quickly took cover.
The sound of treads rolling over the metal floor echoed.
A giant monster, a mix of metal and flesh, slowly drove out from within the Sanctum.
Its face was made grotesque and terrifying by implanted metal prosthetics.
Its hands were also modified, one hand implanted with a high-speed rotating Chainsword.
The other hand was replaced with a multi-barreled heavy laser machine gun.
Its eyes were gouged out and replaced with glowing green mechanical bionic eyes.
Its lower body was replaced by a heavy chassis with metal treads.
"It's a War Servitor modified by the Adeptus Mechanicus!" Tenjiro frowned. "Is its firepower that strong!!"
No sooner had he spoken than dense laser fire rained down again like a storm.
It formed an absolute suppressive fire against the Players.
Several Players were hit, instantly dying, a gruesome sight.
"I've been hit, help me."
Pigtail was a bit slow to dodge, and seven or eight steaming holes appeared on his body.
The next second, the War Servitor was behind him.
The high-speed rotating Chainsword violently pierced through his body, tearing him to shreds.
"Give him a plasma shot!" Old Bird shouted from behind a pillar.
"Okay." Scalp leaned out, aiming his plasma gun and firing.
Accompanied by a sizzling electrical sound, a brightly glowing plasma energy ball flew out, tracing a bright arc in the air, accurately hitting the target.
The upper body of that War Servitor was instantly vaporized.
The out-of-control chassis treads crashed into the wall with a loud bang.
"I haven't even used my full strength, and you've already fallen?"
Scalp ran out from behind cover, standing beside the War Servitor's remains, gloating.
The next second, a sharp whooshing sound rang out.
His head exploded into fragments with a bang.
Several equally massive War Servitors drove out from inside the Sanctum, attacking the Players.
Armed Servitor Skulls equipped with machine guns swept out from behind them, also pouring insane firepower onto the Players.
Before long, several more Players were shot down.
"How much stuff did these Adeptus Mechanicus guys hide in the Sanctum!!"
Little Fatty, hiding behind cover, felt his scalp tingle seeing the Chaos Beast and Servitor Skulls.
The enemy's firepower was too strong; they couldn't possibly win.
"What do we do now?" Zigman shouted. "We'll be shot into sieves the moment we go out."
"The old method, I guess."
Old Bird began strapping melta bombs to himself.
At this moment, Alex arrived.
He seized the opportunity and charged out from a nearby cover.
The Power Sword in his hand easily pierced through the heavy armor of a War Servitor.
Oil and blood gushed out together.
Amidst the flashing electrical sparks, it crashed to the ground.
"Awesome, Guide is YYDS!!"
The suppressed Players cheered.
Alex continuously executed several heavy Servitors and then used his Boltgun to blow up the Servitor Skulls.
Suddenly, a War Servitor charged out from the shadows, aiming its gun at Alex.
Just as Alex was about to dodge, he heard a loud shout.
"The mage has arrived."
Tenjiro in the distance activated [Warp Siphon], drawing energy from the Warp.
He condensed a bright, crystalline Ethereal Shard between his palms and threw it towards that War Servitor.
The Ethereal Shard traced a bright arc in the air.
It hit the War Servitor's head, piercing directly through it.
Viscous lubricant and foul-smelling blood gushed out.
Then, the massive body crashed down.
"Awesome!" Old Bird poked his head out, shouting excitedly.
"Indeed powerful." Zigman also gave a thumbs up.
"Psykers are truly the children of this version."
Little Fatty showed an envious expression.
As the last armed Servitor Skull was blown up, the battle ended.
Alex led the Players into the Mechanicum Sanctum.
It was very spacious inside, with a huge omnissiah sculpture standing in the central area.
Next to the sculpture were metal platforms emitting the glow of stasis fields.
Various ancient mechanical creations were displayed within the stasis fields.
The bloated Adeptus Mechanicus and their servants lay fallen within the Sanctum.
There were wounds on the bodies left by laser and bolter fire.
The Machine Spirit of the Mechanicum Sanctum activated its protection protocol at the first sign of crisis, killing everyone.
After mourning the dead for a few minutes, Alex inspected the weapons and equipment within the Sanctum.
He unexpectedly discovered a set of Power Armor suitable for mortals to wear.
[Name: Alkan Confederation Power Armor
This is an ancient relic, used by many heroes, with loyalty and fearless faith condensed within its steel.
Has damage reduction against Chaos attacks.
"The Emperor watches over you, remember not to wear the helmet, lest the old man doesn't recognize you."
]
In the Mechanicum Sanctum's armory, several mechanical arms helped Alex don the Power Armor.
Alex tried to move.
He found the Power Armor's design to be extremely ingenious.
Artificial muscle fibers perfectly conformed to his body.
Coupled with the servo motors' picosecond-level response.
It made his movements effortless, giving him more strength and agility.
"Very good, I've become stronger again."
Alex stepped out of the armory.
His brand-new appearance made the Players' eyes light up.
The Power Armor was painted deep red with golden lines as decoration.
Worn by Alex, it exuded a sense of oppressive power just by looking at it.
"Boltgun, Power Sword, Power Armor, this is the standard Warhammer attire, it's too cool."
"I want one too."
"Feeling cold and shaking, when can we achieve Power Armor freedom?"
"Strongly demand that Power Armor be put on sale, I want to buy it all."
...
There were many good things in the Mechanicum Sanctum.
To speed up the progress of reclaiming the Imperial Glory, Alex had the Players equip the gear and weapons from the Mechanicum Sanctum.
If their contribution points were insufficient, they could owe it for now.
They just needed to make up the difference within a week.
"Guide is YYDS."
"Guide is the only sun in my heart."
The Players cheered when they heard Alex's words.
Then, they divided up the equipment in the Sanctum.
The Players who obtained new equipment saw a significant increase in their combat power, and their advance speed also increased considerably.
In the time that followed, the Players quickly reclaimed the warship's armory, ammunition depot, crew living quarters, and other areas.
They were only stopped again at the Reactor Chamber.
Because there was a Chaos Beast there.
