Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 172 Encounter with Liu Yi
After 32's Baymax played "Love Cycle" and Guterres' power armor turned on the colorful light disco mode, Chen Xi simply gave up on treatment and used psychic energy to draw electric sparks between his palm and the power sword.

Blue arcs of electricity danced on the blade, making slight crackling sounds, attracting the cameras of the photographers around.

Chen Xi even saw a girl wearing a Hatsune Miku cosplay costume live streaming on her phone, with comments like "This special effect is too real" flashing in the comments.

It's already conspicuous enough anyway, so being more high-profile will arouse less suspicion.

Chen Xi simply let go of his hands and feet, allowing the psychic arcs to wander around his body, forming a faint energy field.

In the distance, a girl cosplaying as General Raiden cast a surprised look at me. The purple light wrapped around the prop sword in her hand seemed to be disturbed and began to flicker irregularly.

After all, thanks to 32 and Guterres, their team looks like a big boss rather than some time travelers.

32's Baymax was using his robotic arm to perform a handkerchief spinning show for passersby, while Guterres's power armor had activated disco mode, the RGB lights on his shoulder armor changing colors with the music. A servo skull floated in the air, projecting a holographic message: "No Photography Allowed," which 32 quickly changed to "Coins Welcome."

And speaking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but think, 'If I don't show this psychic power and power sword, how will the world know that I traveled through 40k'?

Therefore, the whole thing has become a means to satisfy the desire to show off oneself and hide some unnecessary suspicions.

Chen Xi saw an old Warhammer fan taking a photo of Guterres' rainbow power armor, muttering to himself, "This paint job is so realistic, even the texture of ceramic steel is achieved."

In fact, the cosplayers and photographers present were only busy taking pictures or dancing with them, and no one doubted their identities or the equipment they were wearing.

Chen Xi even saw a girl in EVA combat uniform discussing mechanical structure with 32, and he had no doubt that this was a real engine oil guy.

These days, the cosplay props at comic conventions are getting more and more complicated. Robots and the like are relatively rare, but not enough to cause any unnecessary sensation.

You know, some comic conventions even bring real "Transformers" that can transform to the scene. In comparison, 32's Baymax is exquisite, but not too exaggerated.

Chen Xi recalled an exhibition in Shanghai last year, where someone had used a scrapped car to create a transformable Optimus Prime. Although the movement was slow, it was indeed able to complete the transformation.

In comparison, although their team was well-equipped, it was still within a reasonable range.

However, as more and more people gathered around, Chen Xi suddenly noticed that a group of soldiers with mixed but well-equipped equipment were approaching.

Although this group of people were dressed in a variety of clothes, they maintained a standard tactical formation while marching.

Chen Xi even noticed that their gun-holding postures were as skillful as muscle memory.

These people have a variety of weapons and equipment. They wear Russian uniforms and police vests, hold the same type of shotguns in the "Fast and Furious" games, and wear explosion-proof helmets on their heads.
Chen Xi noticed that one of them had a "Tactical Fat Otaku" badge on his vest, but the tactical waist belt hanging around his waist was a genuine Crye Precision one.

Or maybe he's wearing a flashy Taobao-style training suit, holding a HK416 spray-painted pink, and a hood with 416 printed on it.
Chen Xi noticed that although the pink HK416 looked like a prop, its handguard and grip were genuine modified parts from Magpul, and the buttstock was also an adjustable LMT style.

All in all, it looked very fancy and abstract, but a closer look revealed that, aside from some seemingly unimportant items, everything else was genuine. Furthermore, their attire and movements also looked genuine, giving the impression of professionals. One of them approached Chen Xi and asked for a photo.

Chen Xi noticed that although the other party was wearing a funny tactical vest, the position of the bulletproof plates was very standard, and the plates were obviously the weight of real stuff.

Of course Chen Xi accepted the offer, and in order to take a photo together, the other party took off the mask on his helmet and revealed his true face.

"Are you Liu Yi? Are you here at the comic convention too? Your outfit is very professional!" Chen Xi recognized Liu Yi and took off the mask while greeting him.

He noticed a silver parachute badge on Liu Yi's tactical vest, which was a retirement medal from a special forces unit.

Liu Yi smiled upon seeing Chen Xi. "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here! A few old comrades and I couldn't sit still, so we came here to have some fun. You know, if you want to wear military equipment and hold guns, this is the only place to do it."

As he spoke, he subconsciously adjusted the straps, his movements so skilled that it seemed like he wore this equipment every day.

Chen Xi nodded slightly, without complaining about why you, a bunch of veterans, are so abstract.

But he still said to Liu Yi without leaving any trace: "You guys are wearing too much of a mix and match. I used to know a few nylon guys. They all bought second-hand military supplies from people."

"We have second-hand military equipment, but when we're out having fun, we do whatever makes us happy!" Liu Yi replied with a smile. He then feigned surprise as he looked at Guterres and 32 behind Chen Xi, exclaiming, "Is this the Warhammer you're selling? It's quite authentic! Did you make the props yourself?"

"Yeah, it's made with 3D printing. Not bad, right?" Chen Xi responded with a smile. The happiest thing about a comic convention is of course receiving praise and recognition from others.

He noticed that Liu Yi's gaze lingered on 32's Dabai for a few seconds. It didn't seem like he was looking at a cosplay prop, but rather evaluating some military equipment.

Chen Xi was naturally no exception. His expression made people feel that he was very pleased with Liu Yi's surprise.

But he knew in his heart that Liu Yi's surprise might not only be due to the quality of the cos props.

Liu Yi then asked curiously, "Do you guys play Warhammer? I've always wanted to get into it, but I can't find a way."

"Newbie? That's quite easy. We have a club. Come and find someone to play a couple of games with you and you'll be able to play. The rest you just need to do is buy a lot of things." Chen Xi's answer was very simple, with a relaxed and casual look.

But he noticed that Liu Yi's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the word "club".

But both people in the conversation understood each other's meaning and were very satisfied with the outcome of the conversation.

Chen Xi looked at Liu Yi's back as he turned and left, and touched the psychic suppressor on his waist thoughtfully.

As Liu Yi walked back to his companions, he subtly said into the communicator: "Target confirmed, we can begin the next step."
