This Warhammer game is awesome!!

Chapter 138, Version 4.0 Update
Version 4.0 Update Announcement:

It's her, it's her, it's her.

That's her.
Your friends.

Little Xiling.

Hello everyone, it's Xiao Xiling again.

Thanks to the efforts of all our employees, we have improved many issues that arose during testing in the game and updated patches for gameplay that has already been released, so that players can have a better experience.

But today we're going to talk about the 4.0 update.

This version update includes a lot of new content, so please be sure to read it all patiently.

First: Two brand-new gameplay features, namely Beast Taming and Mounts, have been added.

The player team "MC Dynasty" created a beast taming controller by digging into old technologies.

Beast Taming Controller: Through surgical implantation and other means, it can make inferior beings obey commands.

Application scope: It has been tested on powerful alien species on multiple planets and successfully tamed. Players can explore further and may discover more interesting ways to play.

Friendly reminder: Exploring any new and exciting gameplay must be based on morality and law, otherwise you may face severe punishment from the authorities.

Second: Further improve the lighthouse and officially open the teleportation function.

Currently, the following three locations are open for teleportation: Sosa, the Glory of Macragge, and the Imperial Glory. Players can teleport by consuming contribution points or faith points, reducing travel time.

As more lighthouses are built, more teleportation points will be opened.

Third: The world chat channel test has ended and it has been officially launched.

The area covered by a lighthouse is a regional channel and will continue to be maintained.

All lighthouse coverage areas are part of the World Channel, which is now officially online.

Both methods charge a certain number of contribution points for sending chat messages to prevent malicious spamming and provide appropriate advertising space for players to advertise.

Private advertising, insulting others, malicious provocation, stirring up trouble, and malicious fraud are prohibited in the chat channel.

Violators will be punished, and serious offenses may result in being banned from speaking or facing hefty fines.

If violations are repeated, the official team has the right to use all means and measures to maintain the game's chat environment.

Fourth: A brand new map will be opened. In addition to the two major star sectors, Alteramar and Calicsis, the game will open a brand new map - the Solar System.

The solar system is humanity's home planet, the cradle of civilization—Terra, and also the most important region in this game.

Many important storylines will revolve around Terra.

Players venturing into Terra must exercise extreme caution and are strictly prohibited from indiscriminately killing NPCs to avoid causing irreparable consequences.

Fifth: The quest system will be further improved, with more quest NPCs added. Please see the official website announcement for details.

At the same time, the Tribunal, Assassin's Court, and other departments will be opened as soon as possible, allowing players to experience more novel gameplay.

That's all for now. Our team is still working hard. Thank you for your support.

Here's a little heads-up: next time, we might be launching a pilgrimage event. Simply pay enough contribution points and merits to enter Terra and see the Lord of Humanity.

+++Daily Reflection: Better to die for an emperor than to live for oneself+++
】

Xiling's work performance was as outstanding as ever.
She quickly edited the announcement regarding this update.

After reading it, Qin Yun nodded in satisfaction.

Before the official release of the 4.0 version update announcement, Qin Yun and MC Myth communicated in real time.

Confirm the details of the beast taming controller with the other party.

“Guide, we have produced quite a few finished products, which are now piled up in the warehouse and ready to be put on the shelves at any time.”

MC Shinhwa stood tall with a smile on his face.

It seems we still need to explore more gameplay options and innovate more.

Innovation is a quick way to gain favor.

I never imagined before that the guide would personally send me a message.

Now, hehe.

I feel so accomplished to be able to chat and laugh with a man like GM.

"Very good." Qin Yun nodded. "I will personally award you the medal after the trip to Terra."

"Follow the guide's instructions in everything."

"........."

After ending communication with MC Myth, Qin Yun had another call with Scalp, a rebel leader lurking in the Calissis sector.

During this period, Scalp was promoted again for his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion and became the head of the assault team.

At this time, the world of Malz was teeming with rebel forces.
The Colin family has gone all out, determined to finish the job in one fell swoop and completely crush all the Imperial loyalists in the Calissis sector.

Scalp revealed the rebels' military deployment in detail.

The fortress defenses of the Maltz system were as transparent as glass in Qin Yun's eyes.

This intelligence will play a crucial role once an attack is launched.

"How's the investigation into the Star Gate going?" Qin Yun asked.

"The investigation is still ongoing, but not many people know about it. Only a few high-ranking rebel leaders know the exact location."

Scalp informed Qin Yun of the enemy's high-ranking officers who might know the location of the Star Gate.

“You’ve done very well,” Qin Yun nodded. “You can come back after the final battle. I will personally award you the medal then.”

"I will never let you down." Scalp was very excited and even performed a hawk salute to show his loyalty.

"........."

After explaining a few more things, the communication ended.

With a relaxed expression, he walked out of the secret room and headed to his work station.

As soon as I arrived at the training ground, I heard a pitiful scream.

"Ah! Ah! No!"

"I know I was wrong, Boss Jonah, I really know I was wrong."

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that Jonah and his henchmen were beating up a man who was pleading for mercy.

"How dare they collude with the Empire's lackeys and betray our intelligence! They deserve to die."

Jonah grabbed the man and used his mechanical hand to pry out his teeth one by one.

Then, he ordered people to inject the victim with nerve stimulants to increase the pain and subject him to various inhumane tortures.

Several hours later, the man, whose face was completely disfigured, finally breathed his last.

“This is the price of betrayal.” Jonah looked around at everyone. “Remember this, this is no joke. Anyone who dares to be a lackey of the Empire does not deserve to be my brother.”

"The Empire is a rotten and disgusting cesspool. Only by uniting with the Colin family can we find the path to a bright future."

"Anyone who betrays us is our enemy and must die. And they will die a terrible death."

Jonah's gaze fell on the scalp.

"I am willing to offer my heart to the Colin family and kill the false emperor!" he shouted, straightening his back.

Jonah nodded in satisfaction.

Among this group, 9527 was the most loyal, and he distinguished himself in suppressing rebel forces on numerous occasions.

The key point is that he doesn't seem to be very bright; he's just a useful tool.

The rest of these guys are all incredibly cunning.

He's suspected of being an imperial spy, so we need to be careful.

the other side,
After the communication ended, Qin Yun logged onto the official website and, as usual, set to release an update announcement around 6 PM.

…………

Warhammer Online official website
Today's forum was as lively as ever, with people talking about all sorts of things.

The Peerless Lion Flying Head Fist: "It feels like there's been a lot of activity from above lately. They're going all out on nuclear fusion, talking about building a void fleet, and even saying they'll create the first lunar colony that can meet the conditions for survival within twenty years."

Palu's Life is Precious: "That's normal. Which leader doesn't boast? What kind of politician doesn't boast?"

The solemn agreement stated: "My advice is not to overthink it!! Do people still take politicians' words seriously these days?? Go get some Eight Walnuts to boost your brainpower."

Colonel Dutch: Khorne: "Eight walnuts aren't enough, how about eight brains?"

Emperor Zhuju, who was determined to destroy demons, said: "I think Eight Walnuts isn't effective enough. It has to be the authentic Brain Gold that works best."

Guan Bao Mengjiao: "Hey brothers, wanna take a look at some new tea?"

"........."

After the update announcement, players quickly shifted their focus from establishing governments and creating color schemes to discussing the new version.

"The Warhammer Online staff are so hardworking! I'm so moved."

"New map? New gameplay? Awesome! It feels like the Warhammer Online team is really going all out."

"It's all fake effort. If we were really working hard, we would have already completed the internal testing, launched the public testing, and then made a fortune, gone public, and become the richest man in the world."

"Waaah, I still haven't gotten a beta test spot, and I've almost tried seven times already! Should I ask Nurgle for a blessing?!"

"Teleportation is finally open! It was so difficult. I thought we'd have to rely on the subspace to navigate the map."

"In the end, the official team compromised with reality. The map is too big, so it wouldn't make sense not to open a teleportation system."

"Terra? My Terra, you've finally arrived! Let us embark on a pilgrimage to Terra, let us take the sacred lubricant to wax the bones of the Emperor (grinning)."

"Given your quality, I am very worried that you will be mercilessly killed by the Imperial Guards as soon as you reach the door."

"The Imperial Guards? We're afraid? We're guaranteed a 50/50 chance against them! (Proudly)"

"The Imperial Guards at half their strength, and we're wiped out in five seconds? (Hilarious)"

"I'm not going to say anything more. I'm going to log in and try out my mount. I'll get a cool hydra."

"By the way, can the Beast Taming Controller work on warp creatures? I want to capture Carlos."

"Carlos? You might as well go and capture Angron."

"Butcher's Nail and its wet mount??" "Have the Dynasty go to Mars to find research data on Butcher's Nail and study how this thing works on a demon principal. Maybe we can actually capture Carlos."

Tzeentch: 'You're trembling with rage, do you think I'm some kind of mount merchant?'

"Khorne's bronze behemoth is not bad either."

"........."

Qin Yun glanced at the comments section below the update announcement.
Players showed great enthusiasm for discussing the new version and new gameplay.

They were all discussing how to catch a mount, and which mount to catch.

They didn't even spare the warp, from the great demons of House Tzeentch to the unicorns of House Slaanesh.

Of course, none of the players mentioned Nurgle's family.

Even if a highly unclean being offered to be their mount, they would not accept it.

In addition, some hardcore players have started researching what powerful Void Beasts exist in the Warhammer universe.

For example, the Void Whale, which can stretch for thousands of kilometers, or the Void Siren, which can devour an entire planet.

"I thought these guys were already at their limit by capturing the Zerg Tyrant! They're actually thinking of capturing the Star Sea Behemoth?"

Qin Yun realized that he had underestimated the Fourth Calamity.

If given the chance, they'd most likely try to capture the Zerg mothership.

The thought of that scene is horrifying!

It's hard to imagine what the empire's art style will look like in the future.

After finishing his screen-peeping session, Qin Yun began checking the list of players submitted by Xiling for the tenth batch.

This time, there are a total of 50,000 beta test slots available.

But for Qin Yun, it was just a trivial matter that could be checked in two minutes.

After confirming that there were no problems,
He then instructed Xiling to distribute the game helmets according to the list.

"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Hard work pays off! Finally, finally it's my turn."

“Another one has gone mad. Take him away, take him away, and put him in the same mental hospital as Li Huowang.”

"I'm so angry and cold. Does he really have to go to the same mental hospital as Li Huowang? Why not Arkham?"

"I got a beta test spot! I got a beta test spot! I did it! I did it! Hahaha, I finally did it!"

"I don't believe it, it must be that damned Dao of Forgetfulness."

"..."

Those who secured beta testing slots were overjoyed and flooded the forums with posts.
As for those who didn't get a beta test slot, they were kicking themselves and wailing that there was something fishy going on.

Qin Yun had no way to deal with this.

There are only so many places available.

To appease these casual gamers, Qin Yun asked Xiling to upload more videos and pictures.

They also developed several mini-games to help them pass the time.

…………

Sintira's Nest World.

As soon as the update announcement was released, a large number of players rushed to the MC Dynasty's sales shop, forming a dense crowd.

"Where is the Beast Taming Artifact? Hurry, I can't wait any longer!"

"My summoned beast is calling to me."

"I want ten."

"…………"

"Everyone, please don't rush or push. There's enough for everyone."

Minecraft employs numerous NPCs and mechanical priests to assist in selling goods.
The pre-produced beast-taming controllers were quickly snapped up.
Many players want more than just mounts.
Many people also wanted to build a summoned beast squad, so they bought a lot at once.

Imagine that when the war starts, we'll immediately release a few tough-skinned giant beasts and smash them down on the enemy.

That scene was so exciting!

The rush of Chosen Ones to buy Beast Taming Controllers has also drawn the attention of ordinary people.

Some businessmen keenly sensed the business opportunities involved and inquired about how to obtain the agency rights for this product.

This filled the members of the MC Dynasty with immense joy.
If we can make the Beast Taming Controller a blockbuster product in Galaxy,

They are one step closer to realizing their dream of building a megastructure.

Not only are beast taming controllers selling like hotcakes, but even alien species carried by some merchants are being snapped up.

Players didn't care about all that; they just wanted to get a mount, have some fun, and see how it felt.

When I have the time, I'll travel through the Milky Way again and catch a powerful one.

………………

Qin Yun and the others rested in Luna for a few days.

During this time, Guilliman met with many people to learn about the current situation in Terra.

With the fall of Fort Cadia and the expansion of the Eye of Terror, the Starlight was briefly extinguished.

It was only through the efforts of many departments that the torch was finally relit.

However, even worse, the Golden Throne malfunctioned.

This machine is too complex; no one is confident they can repair it.
Even the Mechanical Repair Society couldn't do anything about it.

The Forging General secretly made a deal with the Dark Eldar of Comoros.

They would trade the lives of billions of people for the knowledge to repair the Golden Throne.

But this deal was a deception.
The Dark Eldar of Comoros stole the Emperor's wisdom.

They secretly built a dark golden throne.
But the throne needs a king with eternal power.

Even at the height of the Eldar race's power, no one could meet this condition; only the Lord of Humanity could accomplish it.

Therefore, they planned to use the emperor's blood to clone twisted individuals in order to seize the power of the human ruler.
This is to activate Comoros, to protect Comoros, and to block the invasion of the warp.

The deal was stopped at the last minute by Inquisitor Crow, and the accompanying Imperial Guard destroyed all the items in the transaction.
However, the problem of the Golden Throne remains unresolved.

Some special components may fail within a century.

After hearing this, Guilliman felt even more heavy-hearted.

So far, there hasn't been a single piece of good news.

"what should I do?"

"How did my father withstand all that pressure back then?"

Guilliman sought out Qin Yun, or rather, sought the wisdom of the Emperor.

After all, among the Primarchs, Qin Yun had the closest connection with the Emperor.

Only Qin Yun could invoke the Emperor's will to descend from the shrine, and only Qin Yun could freely wield the Emperor's power on the battlefield.

He is the Emperor's embodiment in the real universe, the entity of His will.

From a certain perspective, Qin Yun is an emperor walking among mortals.

“We still have time,” Qin Yun reassured her. “Besides, Xiling is a star goddess; she can grasp the rules and secrets of the entire universe.”

“We can have her help research various ancient technologies and reverse engineer their principles. If the Comoros can create their own golden throne, then we certainly can too.”

"Moreover, the Golden Throne is not an isolated case; many races in the galaxy have attempted to create it, and we will find a way."

"Didn't the Emperor also proceed step by step? Plans always have one flaw or another, but as long as they are discovered and corrected in time, they will be fine."

Qin Yun's words restored Guilliman's confidence.

Upon learning that the Golden Throne was about to collapse, the Primarch himself was on the verge of collapse as well.

Since his awakening, bad news has come one after another, and the entire empire rests on his shoulders.

What's even more painful is that he can't even confide his inner pain and frustration to ordinary people, lest they fall into greater despair.

The only person she could confide in was Qin Yun.

During their rest period, the pilgrimage fleet, led by the Makurag Glory, successfully arrived in the solar system.

Many heroes who had traveled a long way came to join Guilliman.

Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Guilliman's face lit up with joy; finally, there was some good news.

He sincerely thanked Xiling, saying that without Xiling, the expeditionary fleet would never have been able to escape the Great Whirlpool unscathed.

After resting and recovering to his peak condition, Guilliman, after discussing with the High Lords, decided to set off for Terra.

Terra had already prepared a grand welcoming ceremony for the Primarchs.

With the roar of engines, numerous imperial heroes and players, led by Guilliman, stepped into the spacious belly of the landing craft.

The landing craft slowly rose into the air, flying away from Luna's city.
The magnificent lunar orbiter and numerous ports are now fully visible.
Thousands upon thousands of forging plants, weapon platforms, gravity wells, and centrifugal shafts are lined up one after another in the void.

As you circle around the far side of the moon, an unimaginably massive structure appears.

The players were immediately thrilled and cheered.

"It's the Mountain Formation."

"Wow, it's huge!"

"Like one world."

"Terra, Terra, we're here."

All I can say is awesome.

"Please, official team, accept my knees after taking two arrows in Skyrim! How can a game be this awesome?!"

PS: You can read the Terra Dungeons series about the Golden Throne, which is told from the perspective of the Inquisitor. Also, the timeline of GW's books is a bit confusing, with some characters appearing at the same point in time, but in reverse order. I'm working on sorting it out, and some plot points will be moved forward or backward.

For example, when Guilliman went to Terra, he was guided by a starlight, albeit a very faint one, but throughout the Terra Necropolis trilogy, the starlight was constantly under repair. The Moon's Web is said to be an ancient secret, unknown even to the Emperor, yet a group of Inquisitors and oil enthusiasts were constantly coming and going.
