Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 109 The First Time Traveling Through the New Home

"This new place feels different! It feels like yours is much bigger than the one in Guterres!" Mu Le exclaimed in admiration in the activity room of Chen Xi's new home.

In terms of building area alone, the activity room in Chen Xi's new home is actually not bigger than the lounge in Guterres' store, but because of the newly renovated house, the lighting and the arrangement of furniture, the activity space does look much larger.

But these are not important. For them, traveling through time is more important.

When Chen Xi and the others traveled through time, only their consciousness was projected into the 40K era, while their bodies were still in the 3K era.

Before, Chen Xi’s house didn’t have a big enough space, so everyone basically just sat on the ground or found a chair, and the military boxes were also placed casually on the ground.

Now Chen Xi got a big table and placed the military box on it, while several of them sat around the table.

In order to sit comfortably, Chen Xi bought high-end home sofas so that he could lie down and sleep directly.

"There are cabinets on both sides of mine. Chen Xi put the models and chess pieces in another room, so of course it needs more space." Guterres also commented casually, then looked at Chen Xi and asked, "By the way, what will you do with Titus's team? How about giving them to me and I'll find a place to build a watchtower? I have five new recruits with me now, and it's just right for Titus and the others to help train them."

"Eh? Isn't it true that you can't deploy chess pieces in adventure mode? Where did you get the new recruits, Guterres? Did Chen Xi help you recruit them?" Mu Se suddenly asked curiously, and Mai Mai and 32 beside him also cast curious glances.

"This is a new feature unlocked after reaching Level III permissions. Don't you have it?" Guterres feigned innocence as he glanced at the other three. Amidst their dissatisfied laughter and curses, he explained, "Upgrading to Level III permissions unlocks a new feature that allows you to recruit a kill team for yourself. The configuration is related to the faction you choose.

For example, if I choose the Forge Master of the Death Watch, I can recruit the Astartes or Fighter Servant of the Death Watch.

However, the recruits are all blank slates, and you need to upgrade and train them yourself, and purchase equipment. The only advantage is that you can upgrade them all the time, and if you train them well, you can even produce a team of four-nail elite veterans."

"It sounds good! But what if he dies? Train him again? That would be a huge loss!" Mai Mai was very interested in this. He used the identity of a traveling merchant and just needed a killing team of his own as his entourage.

But if these subordinates who have been carefully trained die in battle, it is indeed very heartbreaking.

It's like when you play a strategy game and you finally recruit a five-star general. You upgrade him, change his equipment, and train him with great difficulty, but he dies after being sent out to fight in a battle. That would be very frustrating.

However, Guterres quickly said, "If you die in battle, you can spend points to revive. However, the resurrected person will have the same abilities, attributes, and equipment as the previous one. Your memories will be inherited, but it won't be the same person."

"It's almost equivalent to copying a new character? That sounds acceptable." Guterres' explanation made Mai Mai nod, and it also strengthened his determination to reach level III as soon as possible and then train his own killing team.

"Although it sounds like there are some restrictions, it is generally reasonable. You can consider using this method to train your own trusted subordinates." Guterres had talked about this with Chen Xi before, and he agreed with it.

Apart from anything else, just look at the work of Shi Dong and Yan, and you will know how much less troublesome it is to have a subordinate who has independent ability.

However, he is in commander mode and cannot recruit followers and kill teams. He can only use his own pieces.

Although the chess pieces have some autonomy, they cannot be upgraded, improved, or strengthened, which makes Chen Xi feel that they are not very convenient to use.

Hearing Chen Xi say this, 32 immediately became interested: "Then can we train a group of apprentices for ourselves? Raise a group of sages to do the work, and then we only need to do some guidance work?!" "Of course you can, as long as you reach level three, you can do this." Chen Xi and Guterres nodded in unison.

This is also the key reason why Chen Xi thinks this attendant model is good. They can really work for him.

Although his chess pieces can do the same thing, there are some differences and distinctions between the two.

This is actually the difference in growth potential. Although the attendants in the adventure mode are blank at the beginning, they have the potential to grow and may become purple or gold cards in the future.

Although the chess pieces in Chen Xi's hands can be at the maximum level and full status from the beginning, they are gold and silver cards that are nailed down from the beginning and have no possibility of growth.

If we only look at the current situation of Chen Xi and the others, this actually has no impact.

Rostov is not a big power and does not need a powerful figure like the Regent to help with administration, nor does it need two generations of imperial warmasters to lead the troops in battle.

The territory they currently control is only one planet, and at most the galaxy they are developing. Overall, the demand for talent is not that great.

Although Palace Prime Minister Rachel was a political commissar and her work style still had a political commissar's mindset, she had no problem managing the administrative affairs of Rostov II and all work was done well.

Perhaps she is not able to adapt to a higher stage, but for her current position on Rostov II, she is qualified.

By the same token, the chess pieces invested by Chen Xi may indeed have no growth potential, but this does not mean that they are incompetent. It is just that they lack the possibility of becoming top talents and cannot improve themselves through accumulation of experience.

Just like a person as stupid as Ogrin, if he makes many mistakes, he will accumulate experience and avoid making the same mistake again next time.

But the chess pieces in Chen Xi's hands do not have the possibility of learning and growing. Their abilities have been fixed.

"Enough of the small talk, let's get ready!" Chen Xi ended the discussion on this topic and then said to Guterres, "I'm going to Rostov III to check on the construction status of the factory. You can go find them on your own as for Titus.

Anyway, you are the master forger of the Death Watch, they should obey your orders.

As for the construction of the Watchtower, you can handle it. If you need anything, please discuss it with Rachel. I should return after completing the inspection of Rostov III and I, and checking the factories and mines."

"Okay, I got it. I'll talk to Titus and Rachel about this later." Guterres nodded and then entered the time-travel state.

Chen Xi didn't say anything else. He just put another chess piece into the military box and entered the time-travel state.
