Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 1 Rogue Trader
Late at night, Gao Yi was looking at the computer screen bored.

"Is it so hard to make a good game these days? If you can't innovate, just sew it! Even if the sewing is fun, that's fine!"

Looking at the game icons on the desktop, he had no interest in opening any of them.

"I'm only 20 years old. Am I already suffering from electronic impotence at such a young age?"

Gao Yi said weakly.

Holding on to the last hope, Gao Yi opened the game forum again.

However, when he was waiting for the web page to load, he found that his screen began to flicker, and the web page and the game icon on the desktop turned into a bunch of garbled characters.

"Got a virus? I didn't download anything stupid!"

But before Gao Yi could press the restart button, the computer screen suddenly flashed with white light.

I felt my consciousness slowly dissipating, and the only thought in my mind at this moment was.

"The game said that bright light could cause epilepsy and other negative symptoms, and I experienced it?"

Gao Yi felt that his soul had left his body and in an instant entered a bizarre space vortex.

In this passage he seemed to see a corrupt garden, a maze made of crystal, a world of fire where a huge brass throne stood, and a magnificent palace where groans and wails were constantly heard.

When seeing these scenes, Gao Yi almost cried out loud. How could he not know what this meant?

When Gao Yi passed by, the masters of these demonic realms seemed to have noticed something and cast their glances towards him.

"Nurgle, Tzeentch, Khorne, Slaanesh, I just finished Space Marine 2. They said online that if you agree to the game agreement, you'll have to go to 40k and work for the Emperor. Is this a joke? Don't do it!"

As Gao Yi continued to go deeper, when he saw the dark and cold sun, the cold sun seemed to become particularly dazzling, and he also reached the end of the space tunnel.

"It hurts... it hurts..."

Gao Yi opened his eyes and found himself in a solemn hall.

Unknown energy pipelines and inscriptions are spread all over the walls of the hall.

A huge amount of memories flooded Gao Yi's brain, giving him a splitting headache.

"I... I'm Gao Yi Mungert... a captain in charge of development for the Mungert Rogue Trader Dynasty. Am I here to take the assessment to become the Rogue Trader successor?"

Gao Yi, who was absorbing the memories of this body, tried to stand up, but the severe pain in his abdomen made him fall to the ground instantly.

He looked at his abdomen, where bright red blood was constantly gushing out. He lifted up his clothes and found a huge bloody hole in his abdomen.

Gao Yi was stunned when he saw the horrible wound. The severe pain almost made him lose consciousness, and his body began to tremble constantly.

"What happened? What the hell is this supposed to start?! I'm going to die right at the start?!"

Feeling his life slipping away, Gao Yi panicked. He didn't know if he would be truly dead if he died here. He looked around, but he was the only one in the hall, and he couldn't find anything that could help him.

Relying on his memory, he picked up the sound array communicator in his arms, but there was only chaotic noise in the communicator, and no matter how he called, there was no response.

The serious injuries prevented him from even getting up.

The massive blood loss made Gao Yi's consciousness begin to blur. Just when he thought he was about to die, a voice sounded in his mind.

[Entered the Warhammer World]

[Currently possessed psychic crystals: 1000]

【Optional loading of game program (0/1)】

[When the host controls an entire planet, the second game program can be loaded]

There are also a large number of options in the list of loadable games, and all of these options are games installed on Gao Yi's computer.

"DOOM, Star Wars, StarCraft, Stellaris, Starfighter 2, Warframe, Warhammer, Warcraft, Titanfall." Looking at the vast array of options, Gao Yi had no time to think. He only wanted to save his life! And a sentence flashed through his mind.

"The doctor is here~"

"Just StarCraft! Never mind! Save lives first!"

Gao Yi directly chose StarCraft 2.

[StarCraft module loaded]

【Store is open】

[SCV Space Engineering Vehicle: 50 Psionic Crystals]

[Marine: 100 Psionic Crystals]

[Medic: 200 Psionic Crystals]

[Reaper: 200 Psionic Crystals]

Looking at these options, Gao Yi exchanged for a medic without hesitation.

As the psychic crystal was consumed, a medic wearing a white CMC-405 light combat uniform slowly transformed from a shadow into a solid entity in a flash of white light.

"The human race can use the Protoss' warp technology? And it can be played like this?"

When the medical soldier finally arrived in this world, he immediately started first aid on Gao Yi.

"Don't move! Your wound is serious!"

A female voice came from the combat suit. She raised the medical equipment in her hand and released a green ray at Gao Yi.

Along with this ray, a large number of nanorobots entered Gao Yi's body. They released anesthetics with no side effects. Gao Yi immediately felt that the heart-wrenching pain disappeared. Then these nanorobots began to repair Gao Yi's body at an extremely fast speed.

Both internal organ damage and external injuries are recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gao Yi felt incredible watching this scene. He knew that games were just games after all. If it were really in the world of StarCraft, the medic's treatment would not be so simple. After all, the medic was equipped with many surgical instruments. However, under the influence of some unknown rules, the medic's treatment produced the same effect as in the game.

"If that's true, then the Terran recruitment buildings like barracks, heavy factories, and starports are also similar to those in the game. Doesn't that mean a barracks is equivalent to an STC construction template for the Mechanicus?"

Gao Yi realized something. This was the power of the loaded game template. He did not need to consider reality but could directly present the actual effects in the game. Of course, this still required further verification by Gao Yi.

With the treatment of the medical lady, the fatal injury recovered and Gao Yi also got up from the ground.

Only after he recovered did he have the energy to carefully observe the hall and organize the new memories in his mind.

He knew from his memory that this hall was where the most important sacred trade certificates of the Rogue Trader family were stored. The energy pipelines and inscriptions around it were built and blessed with anti-psychic and anti-chaos technology by his Monget dynasty, which had spent huge amounts of money to invite pastors of the state religion, priests of the Mechanicus, and even inquisitors of the Inquisition for generations.

The owner of this body was able to enter because he had the blood of the Monget family.

This hall exists in the Dynasty's flagship void ship, the Golden Ram. He came here to take an assessment. The Dynasty is looking for an heir. He doesn't know who attacked him, but it is obvious that the other party does not want him to pass the assessment.

And those who wanted to kill him were still outside the hall.

Gao Yi walked to the trade certificate curiously.

A huge piece of ancient parchment is placed in a small stasis field, so that it will not be damaged by time.

I hereby declare unequivocally that, in accordance with my will and the true contents of this document, I appoint this person as the holder of the Trade Letter. I declare that he is a model of humanity, never yielding in the face of adversity, and forging a path forward in the darkness.

"A real trade certificate. I'm one of the heirs."

To be honest, apart from the fact that he almost died at the beginning, he could still accept this identity. At least he did not become an IG nor an unlucky guy in the Hive City. Moreover, if he really became a Rogue Trader later, with this trade certificate, he would have fewer limitations and would not be hunted down by the Inquisition even if he did something that would normally be considered heresy.

After all, according to the trade certificate, Rogue Traders can contact and even trade with aliens without endangering humans.
