Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 20: Well-Armed
Since he had decided to "go to the dungeon" to steal gold, Chen Xi naturally had to get a decent set of equipment for the character he controlled.

Although his Inquisitor chess piece was based on the legendary Inquisitor Eisenhorn, it did not have much equipment.

A bolt pistol and a psychic staff are all the equipment this chess piece has.

Even if Chen Xi gave the power sword given by the emperor and hung it on the waist of the Inquisitor Governor, it could not cover up the thin equipment of the Governor.

Fighting cultists with this outfit shouldn't be a problem. Even if you encounter rebels, you can still kill them all. After all, psykers are the big guys in the Warhammer world. If he's an alpha-level psyker, he can really show you how to tear a planet apart with his bare hands.

However, this Inquisitor's chess piece is not such a supermodel. It is just an ordinary combat psychic. After all, Inquisitor Eisenhorn is not a psychic master.

Moreover, there is a price to pay for using psychic power. If you really think that you are invincible after awakening psychic power, and then abuse it without restraint, the result will only be to blow yourself up into a subspace portal, becoming a portal for chaos demons to invade the real world.

Although it would not have any impact on Chen Xi if this chess piece died in the Warhammer world, it would also mean that all his investment and efforts in this identity would be wasted.

So to be on the safe side, Chen Xi used his points to buy some new equipment and fully armed the Inquisitor from head to toe.

Although the 200 points given for the novice mission are not many, fortunately the price offered by the Emperor for this kind of individual equipment is not expensive, and is basically the same as the points according to the desktop rules.

For example, a power sword costs 5 points, and you can spend 5 more points to upgrade it to a fine craftsmanship, and another 5 points to upgrade it to a master level. If you are willing to spend another 10 points, it can even become a holy relic.

So Chen Xi got his Inquisitor a Master-level Relic Fine Power Greatsword worth 25 points, a Master-level Relic Fine Plasma Pistol worth 25 points, and a set of Master-level Relic Fine Power Armor worth 50 points.

After spending one hundred points, the equipment of this judge immediately made a qualitative leap.

In addition, Chen Xi spent 10 points to buy two servo skulls and asked Olivia to help him install small shields and ion weapons, intending to use them as pathfinder drones and his own auxiliary equipment.

There are various models of servo skulls. Among the two that Chen Xi exchanged, one is a reconnaissance type, which can be used to scan unknown environments and does not require an Emperor Head Four to hold it in order to work.

The other can be connected to the power armor, acting as a fire control computer and battlefield situation awareness module, transmitting all tactical information to the wearer.

Both the power armor and the servo skull are directly connected to the nerves. When necessary, the servo skull can even directly control the wearer's limbs to respond to dangers that the wearer is not aware of.

In addition, Chen Xi also specially exchanged for a rose rosary and hung it on his wrist.

Although it sounds similar to the Inquisition's Rose Knot, and even their shapes are similar, the Rose Knot is only a proof of the Inquisitor's identity, while the Rose Rosary is a personal shield.

Although many things in the Warhammer 40K world seem rough and even primitive at first glance, the technology is actually so advanced that it makes your scalp tingle.

The high-end individual shields in various science fiction novels can even be made into ordinary decorations such as medals in the Warhammer world.

While this "normal" was only relative, for someone like the Honored One, whose medals could be worn as armor, each one of them could be a personal shield, literally allowing him to drink tea even under a hail of bullets. Back then, Gorg Vandir had used one of these medals to deceive the original Sisters of Battle, turning these country girls into his most obedient thugs.

Although a single soldier's energy shield has limited defense against Gauss rays and is not as outrageous as a void shield, it is at least better than using the physical body to resist it.

----------------

In the wilderness, two Chimera troop carriers are moving forward.

Their destination was a mining station of the Mechanicum on Rostov II.

The existence of this mining station is a bit of a secret, as the ore mined here is called blackstone.

Blackstone itself is not a particularly mysterious mineral. Although the Mechanicus cannot understand its physical properties and the rationality of its existence, its special property of isolating the warp still makes the Inquisition and the Mechanicus itself have a high demand for it.

Even though they never figured out how to use it, the mechanics still knew how to mine 'natural' minerals and use them to build houses.

But generally speaking, some specialties such as Necrons and Necrons are occasionally dug out from under the Black Stone.

"Sage Olivia, I reiterate that this time we are only entering this alien ruins for a simple reconnaissance, not for a large-scale excavation. Once we are discovered by the defense mechanism inside the tomb, we must retreat immediately. Do you understand what I mean?" Chen Xi was seriously reiterating his attitude to Sage Olivia, who was riding in the same car with him.

This time he went to the tomb with only his own team of combat nuns, and didn't even bring Kashejin, in order to reduce the size of the team as much as possible to avoid waking up the bones in the graves underground.

Naturally, Chen Xi also wants to make sure that Olivia will not get into trouble.

After all, everyone knows what the oil man looks like. I'm afraid he won't even be able to walk when he sees the alien technology.

However, Olivia also knew the importance of this matter, and nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency the Governor, I know the priorities and will not act recklessly during this exploration.

Although I really want to excavate this relic as soon as possible, in order to excavate it more smoothly, I am willing to be patient for the time being and restrain my urge to dig it out."

As they were talking, Chimera had already arrived at the mining station. There were not many people here, only a few low-level priests of the Mechanicum controlling a large number of mechanical servants to mine black stone.

"Although I have suspended the excavation of the underground ruins as you wish, Governor, this mining station still belongs to the Forge World of the star zone. I cannot order them to stop mining black stone, as that would make the Forge World realize something is wrong." Olivia briefly explained why this place was still in operation, then took Chen Xi into the mining station and took the elevator down to the depths of the mine.

"I hope everything goes well in this exploration." Chen Xi drew out his weapon, adjusted his state, and prepared for battle.
