Chapter 305 Qingshan’s Reputation
"In the name of the Evil God and the fate of the Warp, in the name of the Death of the False Emperor and the Dying Stars, we bring this tribute to you, Warmaster Abaddon, darling of Chaos, despised by all. For now it is that which The final day when the final fire burns, the black fireworks that consume the galaxy, the warp storm that drowns life, the final moment, the dawn of the galaxy of chaos. We salute the gods of chaos and His emissary, Abaddon the Despoiler, declares his allegiance as a gift in the hope that he will strike fear into the followers of the Corpse King and allow them to see the true form of death within him."
——In the 41K era, the Mechanicum intercepted an encrypted message from the forge world of Charonnia.
…
Fu Qinghai met the casting agent in the captain's room.
Underneath the dark red robe and hood, which was inlaid with gear-shaped moonwhite edges, was an ordinary and young male face. However, standing up straight, he was almost the same height as Fu Qinghai.
Like most tech-priests, there is not even a ounce of flesh left in their body. This technical priest has a total of four arms, all made of slender mechanical limbs, and the four palms are different, plier-like, clamp-like, knuckle-like and tentacle-like. The whole person looks like a walking dentist. bed.
Fu Qinghai quietly turned on the perspective of the eyepiece and found that his abdomen had become a universal movable joint that could rotate 360 degrees. There was a rocket launcher and a missile launcher hidden under his arm, and a missile launcher was installed above his head. Visually synchronized cutting laser transmitter... This guy is simply a standing mechanical centipede filled with weapons.
"Hello, Qingshan Khan."
The other person reached out his hand, with a smile on his face.
"Hello, casting agent."
Fu Qinghai shook hands with his mechanical tentacles.
"Are you here to assassinate me?"
After shaking hands, Fu Qinghai asked.
The technical priest was stunned for a moment, then smiled and explained:
"Haha, in Charoniya, the folk customs are a bit fierce and the security is not very good, so I carry a little too many weapons with me. I hope Khan doesn't mind."
There are more than 100 million points... Fu Qinghai was noncommittal.
The other party continued:
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Xiao Fei, Xiao from Shawshank, Fei from Blind Kiba Fei. Yes, just like you, I am Chinese and a reincarnation person."
I see.
There are not many players who are anchored in the Warhammer 40K universe. Almost all those who take the Space Marine route have fallen into Fu Qinghai's trap. However, this is the first time Fu Qinghai has encountered the reincarnations who choose to take the Mechanicum route and become Tech-priests. .
"As for how I found you, it's simple."
Xiao Fei took out a rocket-shaped glass bottle from his arms, filled with dark amber liquid, and said:
"A Rogue Trader from the Obscure Star Territory gave me a bottle of this thing. When I saw it, I knew that Qingshan Khan of the Marquez King Star Region, the Chapter Master of the Iron Buddha, He is a reincarnation."
Xiao Fei's clamp arm clamped the bottle body, and the pliers arm flexibly opened the bottle cap. With a "pop" sound, a trace of white gas emerged from the mouth of the bottle. He took a deep breath close to the tip of his nose and said:
"Ah, the smell of carbonic acid. Although I no longer have a digestive system, the familiar taste can still awaken the neural memory of saliva secretion."
Fu Qinghai returned to his seat, sat down, pointed to the sofa in front of him, and said:
"So, Mr. Xiao Fei, the casting agent, traveled thousands of miles to find my war group. Why?"
Xiao Fei didn't need to turn around. Inside the hem of his red robe, those densely packed black mechanical tentacles like sea anemone tentacles began to click on the floor, supporting his body to move backwards, and then sat on the sofa.
"That's right, Qingshan...is it okay for me to call you that?"
Fu Qinghai raised his hand to signal him to continue.
"Do you know the forge world of Charonnia?"
Xiao Fei asked.
Fu Qinghai shook his head:
"do not know much."
Not only do I not understand it, I have never heard of it at all.
"So have you ever heard of the Punisher-class Titan?"
Xiao Fei then asked.
Punisher-class Titan?
Fu Qinghai fell into deep thought.
He has only heard of Warhound Titan, Predator Titan, Warlord Titan, Warmaster Titan, Emperor Titan... There are different models under different levels, but he has never heard of one called "Punisher" Super Titan"...
etc!
Fu Qinghai suddenly remembered a LEX translation entry about Titan that he had accidentally glimpsed.
Fu Qinghai suddenly raised his head and said:
"The legendary source of all Imperial Titan technology, the ancient relic Titan from the Dark Age of Technology!?"
Xiao Fei smiled and nodded: "That's right."
He pointed at Fu Qinghai and laughed:
"You are indeed a veteran hammer guy, Qingshan!"
Fu Qinghai thought to himself that I am not as senior as you.
Why Fu Qinghai has never seen reincarnators who follow the path of the Mechanicum? The reason is simple. Not every player can accept the idea of transforming himself into a half-human, half-machine cyber monster. To completely abandon human aesthetics and completely embrace the Mecha, I am afraid that only a very hard-core Warhammer 40K enthusiast can make this determination.
Fu Qinghai's mind was full of thoughts and he suddenly asked:
"So, the legendary 'Punisher-class' Titan is buried underground in the forge world of Charonnia?"
Xiao Fei nodded slightly.
There is an important reason why Fu Qinghai was so impressed by the "Punisher-class Titan" glimpsed in the LEX entry: the unique shape and aesthetic style of the Titan Legion of the Mechanicum once made him very interesting.
Titan is like Gundam from Warhammer 40K. In other science fiction IPs, the mecha Gundams are all simulated humanoids. Titan is also a simulated humanoid, but it is a hunched humanoid - the Titan's head is located in front of the fuselage, and the top of the head is level with the shoulders. together.
This is true from the smallest Titan - the Knight Titan, to the largest Titan - the Emperor Titan.
(The Knight-class Titan is actually a bit reluctant to be counted as a Titan unit. It is piloted by a single man, is not much larger than the Space Marine's Dreadnought Mecha, and cannot be equipped with a void shield, so it is not impossible to count it as a mecha unit.)
However, the appearance of the Punisher-class Titan is different from the standard Imperial Titan. Its head does not protrude from the chest, but is located above the shoulders.
It is rumored that this is a type of Titan that was created in the age of dark technology. It is the earliest Titan design. All existing Titan models are just broken results after trying to copy the Punisher-class Titan.
Among all known Titans, the Punisher-class Titan not only has a unique appearance, but also is the only Titan that is completely controlled by artificial intelligence.
In other words, even GW officials have admitted that placing the head on the shoulders, raising the chest and raising the head rather than hunching is the correct design concept for Titan.
Fu Qinghai finally recalled the relevant information about this mysterious Titan.
"So, why did you come here to find me?"
Fu Qinghai looked at Xiao Fei and asked.
Xiao Fei did not answer this question directly, but changed the topic and said:
"Let me tell you about the history and future of the Charonian Forge World, Aoyama."
Xiao Fei coughed lightly, cleared the engine oil stuck in his throat, and said slowly:
"This is a forge world that has existed since the Dark Age of Technology, so there are many technological relics on it, including this Punisher-class Titan."
"When I remembered its existence, I immediately applied for transfer from Mars to Charonia. What I learned on Mars was Titan manufacturing technology, so I am extremely obsessed with this relic Titan."
"Because I have been bringing back some technologies from other reincarnated worlds and claiming to be the 'relic technologies' discovered by my archeology, my promotion within the Cult of Mechanicus has been quite fast, but I dare not share it with anyone. My discovery of the Punisher-class Titan, an AI-controlled ancient relic Titan, was so heretical that I was terrified of having it taken away from me."
"Although I have been promoted very quickly, I am still just a 'casting agent'. I am not the foundry director, and I do not have my own intelligent control army and armed servitor army..."
"Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the treasure. I originally wanted to study this relic Titan silently until I accumulated enough power to protect it... But that was too long. I am not a space warrior, I am just a technical priest. It took Belisarius Cauldu ten thousand years to become the Great Sage of Dominance, how long will it take for me, an ordinary technical priest, to do so?"
"However, I can't wait! I have read the LEX translation, and I know the future of Charonnia. One day in the future, it will be enveloped and swallowed by a sudden warp rift, and fall into the hands of the Black Legion. The Titans The AI on it will be corrupted by demons and serve Abaddon the Despoiler."
"I don't know when this day will come. I only know that after a thousand years of being shrouded in the subspace rift, Charonia returned to the real universe."
"So I have to transfer the Punisher-class Titan as soon as possible, but if I transfer it to other forging worlds, this relic Titan will not be mine, so..."
Xiao Fei raised his head and looked at Fu Qinghai.
"So you thought of me?"
Fu Qinghai asked.
"Yes." Xiao Fei nodded:
"You and I are both players. We can cooperate. You have guns and soldiers in your hands to protect the relic Titan, so that I can continue my research in peace and mind without being disturbed by the outside world. If the research makes progress, we will share the research results. "
"how do you feel?"
Xiao Fei asked sincerely.
"In the original book, this relic Titan fell into the hands of Abaddon? But I didn't see a new type of Titan appearing on the Chaos forces?"
Fu Qinghai first raised the first question.
"Because this Punisher-class Titan was later destroyed by the Gray Knights, the Dark Mechanicus finally had no time to dismantle and study it."
Xiao Fei explained.
Cooperation is possible, but...
Fu Qinghai then raised a second question:
"You don't even know who I am, so you revealed such important information to me. Aren't you afraid that I'll fall out?"
Xiao Fei said:
"I asked for your information in Terra and found out that your name is Qingshan Khan. At that time, I suspected that the 'Qingshan' in the perfect human bounty poster was you. Then I saw other players' opinions on the reincarnation forum. Your reviews, those reviews... are quite high, so I just want to give it a try."
"What do other players think of me?"
Do I still have such a reputation?
Fu Qinghai became even more confused:
"What review?"
Xiao Fei repeated the players' evaluations.
Fu Qinghai understood.
His armor image was spread by the perfect human being, and players who had dealt with him before recognized him.
The fake princess on Moradigang, the hostile players in the space hulk, and the unlucky lich and super mutants in the Resident Evil movie universe...
They all left comments under the post of Perfect Human Bounty. It cannot be said that they are completely positive comments, but the caliber is very consistent:
Qingshan is very greedy, but very trustworthy.
If you are caught by him, he will drain all your intelligence, equipment and assimilation points, but if he promises to let you go, then he will really let you go and will not suddenly regret it and kill you.
Fu Qinghai thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
In fact, if he wanted to maximize his profits, Fu Qinghai could have forced out the information, snatched away all the equipment, and extorted all the assimilation points. He could have killed the reincarnations and earn another kill reward, but In the end, he chose to keep his promise.
He said, "No matter what happens, I won't kill you."
If the other party cooperates, then there is really no killing.
Now, the players who were let go by him have come out to comment on his behavior, and their words are generally positive and complimentary.
Keeping his promises has become his label.
Is this what is called... reputation?
Fu Qinghai shook his head and laughed.
He didn't think so much at the time.
"Okay, I basically agree with your proposal."
Fu Qinghai said to Xiao Fei:
"I will send a fleet to transport the Punisher-class Titan to the Phaeton Forge World."
He took a deep look at the technical priest:
"I hope we can cooperate happily?"
Xiao Fei nodded seriously:
"certainly."
…
Su Zhenghao, combat conference room.
"How's the situation with the fleet?"
"The battle barge Suzheng, the battle barge's flagship, has all been repaired from the damage caused by the previous battle. The three strike cruisers, Liema, Stallion and War Horse, have all been repaired and refitted, and their hull numbers and coatings have been changed. The crew is fully staffed and ready to go.”
"very good."
In fact, there was also an escort cruiser that the Night Lords captured from the Imperial Navy. However, because that battleship was not equipped with two major facilities: a transfer deck and a drop pod launch port, it was considered not to meet the requirements for a strike cruiser. Fu Qinghai gave it to Shi Wei Lin Chaodu has been used as a space orbital defense force.
"Jostar, Tristan, and Camille, you three will lead the Space Marines of the 1st, 2nd, and 7th Companies, as well as the battle barge, to escort an Imperial transport ship to the Charonian Forge World and bring the Punisher-class Titan Ship it back."
"Yes, Khan!"
Fu Qinghai ordered.
"Relic technology is of great importance, so we must remain vigilant throughout the process to avoid any mistakes."
Fu Qinghai warned.
"Understood, Khan!"
"In addition, the Ministry of Military Affairs has recently issued several transfer orders."
"There are traces of green-skinned pirates in the Kronos expansion area, and we are asked to go investigate. Lin Yu led the third company and a strike cruiser to see what was going on."
"Yes, Khan."
"The subspace storm in the Octarius sector has dissipated, and a hive world has returned to the Empire's sight, asking us to confirm whether that hive city has been corrupted by Chaos. Kalamanda and Satfalan, led by the fifth , Sixth Company and a strike cruiser went to check the situation.”
"Yes, Khan."
…
One order after another was issued.
This is the daily routine of the Chapter Astartes.
There is almost never any free time.
The human empire is always facing various threats.
Moreover, unlike traditional mortal troops, I have only heard of Astartes deeming a thousand soldiers too few, and I have never heard of Astartes taking empty pay and not going to fight.
The Astartes, the Emperor's tools designed specifically for war, certainly have emotions and desires, but the expression of desires is different from that of mortals. Their adherence to loyalty and duty surpasses most armies in ancient, modern, and modern times.
Fu Qinghai's thoughts are different from those of ordinary space warriors, but since he has supplies from the Ministry of Military Affairs, he naturally has to obey the dispatches of the Ministry of Military Affairs. What's more, protecting the survival of all mankind is the original meaning of the existence of space warriors.
"In addition, I am here to announce something."
Fu Qinghai cleared his throat and said:
"I will be away for a period of time. During the period of my absence, Qiao Shida will temporarily act as the chapter leader, Lin Yu will serve as his adjutant, and the others will obey their orders and dispatches."
Everyone sitting there was stunned.
"Leave for a while? What do you mean?"
Qiao Shida first asked in confusion.
"It means leaving for a while."
Fu Qinghai waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon after the matter is taken care of. Just do as I say."
Fu Qinghai had promised Zhang Yuning that he would accompany her to complete the project, and it was now time to put it on the agenda.
…………
Thanks, countz, for the reward from the honest Xiaobaijun.
The supernatural part won't be very long, it should be over in one or two chapters. Seeing the appearance of Titan, book lovers may be able to guess what the next volume will be.
