Tenjiro and Twisted person looked shocked.
They had never imagined that the Guide, an NPC, could be promoted to a Primarch-level E-Great Demon.
Alex ignored these two clowns and turned to walk out.
His original equipment was no longer suitable.
He was only wearing a set of linen clothes.
He had to find Father Tina and ask her to forge him a new set of Power Armor.
Tenjiro and Twisted person stood rooted to the spot, watching Alex leave.
"I've noticed that Lord Guide has been growing constantly."
"Do you remember when we first logged into the game? He only had an automatic pistol, a set of grunt armor, and a trench shovel."
"Later, he switched to Power Armor, a Power Sword, and a Bolter, and now he's been promoted to a Primarch-level E-Great Demon."
Twisted person scratched the back of his head, "Now that you mention it, I feel like this is a Development game."
"Uh, raising a Living Saint? That doesn't seem wrong either. The harder we work, the stronger the Guide becomes, it really is like a Development game."
"Then we need to keep grinding, so that the Guide can have the reputation of a Living Saint as soon as possible."
"..."
After his promotion, Alex's hearing improved significantly.
Even when he had walked far away, he could still hear Tenjiro and Twisted person's conversation.
The more he pondered what these two guys said, the more he felt something was off.
It sounded as if he was being fed by the Players.
Leaving the Imperial Glory, Alex found Father Tina in the factory district of Lykard Space Station.
Under the influence of the Players, she began to violate the Adeptus Mechanicus's regulations.
She modified the servitors, connecting them to the Thinker System and activating automated production lines.
Large quantities of war materials and food were produced in her modified automated factory.
Alex told Tina his request.
"Esteemed Lord Guide, I will surely forge your Power Armor as quickly as possible."
Tina looked up at Alex, who was three and a half meters tall, and her reverence grew even stronger.
Clearly, the Guide had received another blessing from the omnissiah.
"Don't set your expectations too high; just quickly produce a transitional set of Power Armor for me so I can participate in ground combat."
Considering the Adeptus Mechanicus's habit of praying for five minutes for a single part.
Alex had no choice but to remind her again.
Father Tina guaranteed, "Understood. It will only take three days at most to forge you a simplified version of the Power Armor."
The newly promoted Alex could no longer use his original equipment.
The Locke Spearhead Bolter, the Arcanus Alliance Power Armor, and the Administratum One-Handed Power Sword all had to be retired.
As for his original two-handed greatsword, the Holy Judgement Blade, it became his one-handed sword.
The retired equipment was quite valuable.
Especially the Bolter obtained from Captain Hanneman.
This gun had a special bonus, increasing critical hits when fired at the enemies of the Imperium.
In a real game, it would be considered equipment with attribute bonuses.
He placed the three pieces of equipment in Tina's Weapons and Augmentics shop.
And sent a message to all Players, informing them that the highest bidder would get these three limited edition items.
This news instantly caused a stir.
Especially after learning that the Guide had been promoted to a Primarch-level E-Great Demon.
According to Warhammer's unique narrative, these weapons and equipment would soon become holy relics with Warp critical hits.
Buying them was a gain.
"I want to use my limited equipment draw qualification."
Previously, Old Bird had repaired and restarted the reactor.
He had obtained one limited equipment draw qualification.
But because many pieces of equipment were mass-produced, he hadn't used it until now.
Now, seeing the three pieces of equipment Alex had replaced, Old Bird immediately used this qualification.
This couldn't be refused.
Just like that, Old Bird happily drew the Bolter left by Captain Hanneman.
The Power Sword was acquired by Zigman.
The price of this sword was very high.
This was because Power Swords were rare.
The related technology was only mastered by a few Forge Worlds.
It was already good enough for ordinary people to get a chainsword with a monomolecular saw blade.
In addition, it had special bonuses, so the price was high.
Zigman had been saving his contribution points and, in one fell swoop, overwhelmed numerous competitors to win the Power Sword.
The last Power Armor was bought by Dora, who ran a workshop.
This guy had made a lot of money recently, was financially strong, and overpowered many Players.
Watching the three happily take away the three limited edition items.
The other Players were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
These were future "holy relics."
The mass-produced items they held couldn't compare at all.
"Sorrow, why must I encounter what I most want to protect when I am most powerless?"
Tenjiro looked mournful, secretly regretting that he hadn't grinded enough.
From this day forward, he would become a grinding king, just so he wouldn't miss out next time.
"All my contribution points went to buying exoskeleton armor, otherwise one of them would definitely be mine."
Little Fatty also looked heartbroken.
How rare were limited edition items?
Once missed, they were missed forever, and would never be available again.
More importantly, they also had attribute bonuses.
No other equipment had such effects.
Alex ignored the commotion caused by this matter.
After the auction of the equipment, he took advantage of the time to personally welcome the Emperor's new workhorses.
In front of the Praying Sanctuary, people were bustling, a scene of lively activity.
The Players who just entered the game were the same as the previous batch.
Looking at the vivid world before them, they repeatedly rubbed their eyes.
"It really is virtual reality? Holy crap, holy crap."
"It's astounding for a million years, Grandpa."
"So magnificent, so spectacular."
"These servitors are so creepy."
"Oh my god, it's so realistic, could the boss behind this game be the Old Man Emperor?!"
"Why do we start as mortals? Why not Astartes? I just want to go on a rampage."
"It's time for this universe to feel the terror brought by Desert. The strongest warlord is about to rise. Now, one person V me fifty, and I'll cover you all later."
"..."
Alex appeared as the Guide.
Behind him were a Mechanical Priest and several local soldiers wearing Tomorrow II Type exoskeletons.
"Wow, with that height, is that a Primarch?"
"That big guy looks really fierce."
"Tch, with that kind of trash, I tell you, he'll be begging me not to die within one round."
"What Primarch? Haven't you read the strategy Guide? It's the Guide."
"The Guide got a buff?"
"Not a buff, he ascended to a demon."
Two hundred chattering Players were a headache.
Alex walked up to them and said, "Quiet."
Facing Lord Guide, who possessed the power to ban, the newcomers were quite respectful.
The noisy sounds instantly disappeared, and they all looked at Alex with clear yet foolish new recruit eyes.
"Welcome to Warhammer OL, the Emperor's worthless currency."
"The Despoiler has breached... the galaxy is in peril..."
After saying his piece according to the procedure, Alex had the soldiers take the new Players outside to understand the situation.
And also to the training ground to train them on basic gun usage knowledge.
The enemies on Lykard Space Station and the Imperial Glory had been mostly cleared, leaving no targets for them to practice on.
The ground war was about to begin again.
At the very least, they needed to know how to change the laser gun's battery and disengage the safety before being thrown onto the battlefield as cannon fodder.
When Alex received the Power Armor and Bolter that Father Tina had rushed to produce.
The Imperial Glory also completed its final inspection and material loading.
Alex had just planned to move the Imperial Glory above Tirien Hive City to give the rebels a round of orbital bombardment.
The Warmaster, who was serving as a diplomatic envoy on the surface, sent him a secret message.
"Lord Guide, I have discovered a great secret of the Valanxius Family."
"This family, as the first Rogue Trader, has fallen to its current state because their ancestor once organized a grand exploratory expedition involving dozens of great families, the Navy, and the Administratum."
"That expedition team went to the Koronus Expanse for exploration but suddenly lost contact."
"No one knows what exactly happened to that expedition, only that among those who went, only the ancestor of the Valanxius Family escaped."
"He warned people not to approach the Koronus Expanse casually, then died mysteriously."
"Because of the accident during the exploratory expedition, the Valanxius Family was marginalized by other forces and eventually declined, becoming what it is today."
"I heard that this ancestor of the Valanxius Family brought back an item suspected to be related to the Necrons."
"That ancestor also requested that the item be buried with him and demanded that future generations never open his tomb."
Seeing this message, Alex frowned.
The Valanxius Family had quite a few secrets.
They could even be connected to the Necrons.
"Continue to observe and try to understand the inside story."
"You have rendered great service; we will settle it all when you return."
After Alex replied to the Warmaster, he ordered the Imperial Glory to set sail.
He wanted to give those traitors a little bit of orbital bombardment shock.
