Hyperion, but in Warhammer 40K
Page 37
As for the Weepers, although they were also a cover, Zhou Ye always felt that it was unlucky for him to disguise himself as a group of Weepers. They were really unlucky. They had just jumped no more than three planets and hit the Chaos, but fortunately the intensity was not high.
They were just a bunch of low-level cultists, and they were easily dealt with. Mario was now reporting this matter in the mobile group chat, saying they had already dealt with it and were planning the next jump.
As a waterworks engineer, Mario was still qualified, but even with the Star Track, there needed to be someone to use it. This was Zhou Ye's main goal this time, and getting a merchant dynasty would make things much easier.
So at this time, this smaller transport ship also slowly landed on the starport of this planet. And Zhou Ye also came out with his men, pushing a large box.
There were a lot of fruits and rows of very high-quality wines inside. In his heart, these were basically the stomach-souring things that those people ate, but in the hive city... even in the upper hive, they were very expensive.
Zhou Ye's destination this time was simple: he headed straight for the local business guild. He wanted to be a bit more high-profile this time, to see if he could attract some unscrupulous people. And since it was just a luxury item, not a necessity, it shouldn't attract Chaos... right?
Zhou Ye was a little unsure about this, but it didn't matter anymore.
So soon...
"Oh my god, what kind of wine is this?"
Looking at the dark red wine and feeling the special fragrance, the entire merchant guild was in an uproar. Zhou Ye's approach was simple and crude.
He simply opened the bottle and slowly poured in a stream of fine wine, its unique aroma immediately igniting the entire audience. Logically speaking, even if the wine he made was placed on Earth in his previous life, it would still fetch a good price.
What's more, in this extremely abstract 40K era, these wines are like water to Space Marines, but just right for mortals.
You should know that the fine wine that Baal made is a best-seller throughout the universe, and some people even become corrupted and degenerate after drinking it because of their weak will.
Even the price of a piece of fruit on Terra is enough to buy a palace on some planets. Of course, this is not Terra. The price of fruit is definitely not that high, but it is enough.
"So, everyone, what price are you willing to offer?"
Zhou Ye's pupils flickered as he looked at the group of people in front of him with a smile. He could see through these people instantly with his power. He didn't see any corrupt people, but he also didn't see any that interested him.
After all, he was a complete newcomer, with no acquaintances. He was too lazy to slowly build relationships, so he just went for it straight away. Honestly, under normal circumstances, this would be tantamount to seeking death.
But it was just right for Zhou Ye, as expected...
A woman dressed voluptuously, with a graceful figure and a charming smile, slowly walked out. Everyone in the room silently took a step back; it was clear that this person was quite important.
"Sir, our Oliveira family is very interested in speaking with you."
"hiss……"
After hearing this, the merchants couldn't help but take a deep breath. Then, shock and unwillingness appeared on their faces. The Oliveira family was a behemoth, and they couldn't afford to offend them.
It was obvious that all the profits from this batch of goods would be taken by them. Moreover, they might even monopolize the source of the goods, so many people looked at Zhou Ye as if he were an idiot.
If you want to make a living out there, you have to pay attention to your status and identity. It's not enough to just have something. If you are so low-key and run into a real boss, you will probably be eaten to pieces.
Thinking of this, the group of people also left their positions. As for Zhou Ye, there was no big reaction. The woman in front of him was protected by a shield, and it was difficult for him to directly break through the shield and enter her mind.
But this wasn't a big deal. The other party was clearly no pushover. Just look at the expressions of the people around him. Of course, if he was given a little time, he could silently break through the defense.
"Then please lead the way, beautiful lady."
PS: The update is done. I will update tomorrow and the day after tomorrow on New Year’s Day depending on the situation.

Chapter 67 This is very hive.
"Very good, not a cultist. But this is tempting people to fall into depravity. We must be careful and have a plan. We can't let this become the scene of a large-scale mayhem. I've had enough."
Looking at the naked back in front of him, all the way down to the back that made people imagine all sorts of things, Zhou Ye was sure of the other party's condition at this time. He was not corrupted. As for the protective force field, it was easily broken.
Her speed was quite fast. The moment she turned around to lead the way, she was cracked by Zhou Ye.
I took a look at it from top to bottom. Anyway, as long as it is not chaos, it will be easy to deal with.
"It seems to be a good merchant family. This woman is just a receptionist. Even the receptionist has a small force field protection, although it is as useless as paper for Space Marines."
Thinking in his heart, Zhou Ye followed the others into the room. Then he saw a majestic middle-aged man, and the woman was sitting next to the middle-aged man.
"Very good wine, much better than Bal's. Young man, name a price. What do you need?"
Looking at the drink in his hand, the middle-aged man spoke lightly, as if it was something not worth mentioning.
Of course, this was just his appearance. In Zhou Ye's eyes, his inner thoughts were to find out the origin of these wines. Monopoly business was the most profitable business.
It would be good if this young man had some sensible ideas, otherwise don't blame me for using tricks.
To make it in the world, you need a background. In the entire star region, there is no noble or businessman with a better background than him.
"Very good. It seems that they are descendants of an ancient merchant dynasty. Moreover, they are the largest merchant dynasty in this star region and have deep roots in this star region."
This was the terrifying power of the Ruler of Knowledge, especially at a time like this when Zhou Ye had dug up all his ancestors for eighteen generations. Among them were even many of the core secrets of the dynasty, though he didn't know much.
Zhou Ye only learned that they had a very ancient merchant document from a glorious and distant era, but he didn't know the specific person.
A good target, Zhou Ye decided that they were the ones. And since they hadn't been corrupted yet, the problem wasn't too big.
and so……
"What do you think? Minerals, slave labor, even some rare technologies are all fine."
Zhou Ye smiled and said, although this world has the so-called throne currency, but in fact the transaction of Warhammer is still barter, which is also unavoidable.
After all, this poor environment meant that interstellar transactions were doomed to fail, and so-called currency was meaningless. Even tithes were collected directly from the materials.
"I need large agricultural facilities, and they must not contain radioactive substances and harm the environment. I cannot afford the blessing of the Omnissiah."
"This kid has a mysterious planet. Great! Let's send our family's armed caravan there. As long as we can secure a planet that can produce fruit wine, my position in the family will be secure. Those important figures and high lords in Taitai Tower will also look upon our family with new eyes."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's mind was already full of thoughts. The fact that these products were needed meant it was a relatively primitive planet; this kind of thing was quite common. Furthermore, the environment looked quite good, and it was a garden world. There were plenty of fruits on it, but they were relatively primitive.
Now they are going to buy items to open up new land, but they are still too young and their words are already cautious enough. However, these straightforward products still reveal a lot, so it’s good, young people, you can’t grasp this wealth, so let me do it.
"You should know that the machines you need are not cheap. Those produced by the Mechanicus contain extremely powerful blessings. It's not easy to buy yours."
But of course he wouldn't say it out loud, but spoke slowly at this time.
The so-called blessing of the Om Messiah is radiation. Many of the outskirts of Forge Worlds are irradiated with levels so high that even some Tyranids would be melted by the radiation, let alone humans and Space Marines. Of course, that's before they evolve resistance to it.
So, if their products were placed on Earth in the 3K era, they would basically be a life-threatening threat. As for why this world isn't a major problem, the only explanation is that the average human in the 40K era is a gymnast. After all, according to the setting, controlled nuclear fusion technology has long been a commonplace.
***… …
Hearing this, Zhou Ye also clapped his hands, and then a man who looked like a servant came to the man pushing a large cart.
"Your genetic slave is quite good. Where did you buy it?"
Looking at the tall Space Marine, Sok Oliveira was also a little surprised. He could feel the terrifying power contained in the body of this genetic slave, which was indeed rare.
"This is a huge price, and it's not within our trading range."
Zhou Ye laughed at this. Soke was about to say something, but after the box was opened, his pupils shrank. He completely forgot about the matter. Genetic slaves were just that to him; if quality wasn't enough, quantity would make up for it.
These guys are just big, dumb guys who might be quite powerful, even comparable to Space Marines, but the rest are just scum, and Space Marines can kill them like ordinary people.
"Hiss, there are so many. This planet is very valuable, even more valuable to me than this hive world. I must notify the family immediately and prepare the main battleships. This guy may not be simple. But no matter how difficult it is, I must get it."
When he saw the colorful fruits and ordinary-colored fruit wine in the box, Soke trembled all over, and a huge wave of fear surged in his heart.
If this were just an ordinary planet, it wouldn't cause a reaction, but look at this fresh fruit. In the era of Warhammer 40K, it is a luxury among luxuries. This will be a world that will make the larger merchant dynasties go crazy.
A great man once said: If capital has a 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if it has a 20% profit, it will become active; if it has a 50% profit, it will take risks; for the sake of 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all human laws; if it has a 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even risking being hanged.
The profits this could bring weren't some bullshit 300%; you could just add as many zeros as you wanted. Logically, in this situation, even Space Marines wouldn't be able to hold it. It would even require someone at the level of a startup group. The wealth on this planet was simply too immense.
Soke's inner thoughts were simple: to make this planet the core world of his family and send out the most powerful fleet to protect his family. After all, such a planet represented too much benefit.
A planet that has not been developed yet and has a large amount of high-value fruits on it. This is what he thought of countless times when he saw Zhou Ye, so he decided to take action.
"Don't be anxious, keep him steady."
"Then leave it to me. I'll contact the nearby Forge World. They specialize in producing a batch of equipment for clearing wasteland without damaging the environment. As for these fruits of yours, it's not good for you to keep them. Let me introduce you to some good buyers. As for the wine, I want it all. Consider it a deposit."
"Um……"
Looking at the person in front of him, Zhou Ye thought for a while and nodded.
"Very good, happy cooperation."
After seeing Zhou Ye's reaction, Suoke also said with a smile. However, what he was thinking in his heart was only known to him and Zhou Ye.
"Pleasant to work with."
Zhou Ye smiled happily when he heard this. Although it was a bit of a sting operation, it didn't matter.
"I want to know which powerful families there are in Quint. I'm sure I'll be doing business with them frequently in the future, so I have to learn more."
"The Altra family is the wealthiest family in the region. Even the governor has to show some respect to them. They control several important planets in the region. I heard that the governors of several planets recently provided them with a lot of fresh fruit. I guess it was you who gave it to them."
"Yes, it's just a simple transaction."
Zhou Ye was not surprised by this, this was all part of the plan. The purpose was to show that they were short of people, very short of people. It was obvious that this person was also brought here.
Of course, he was indeed short of people, and if he couldn't find a suitable target this time, he wouldn't mind bringing another batch of immigrants over. After all, the population in the empire was unlimited.
For a planet this big, the planned population should be around 10 to 20 billion people. How many...
"They all gave the fruit to the Altera family. It's said that their mistress demands a fresher portion of fruit every six days, if it can be delivered. They are also generous, but if it can't be delivered, they will show their thunderous wrath."
"what?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ye was speechless. It was no big deal. This was also part of the plan. His strike team equipped with Centurions and Terminators was ready. Don't expect him to participate in the large-scale mixed drill again.
After all, this wasn't an agricultural world, but the headquarters of a star region. If he were to engage in a chaotic operation here, who knew what would happen.
Therefore, Zhou Ye has made sufficient preparations and plans. As long as Chaos dares to appear, he will kill him quickly with a set of palm techniques that fall from the sky.
"These fruits of yours have been divided into several portions, enough for the greedy hostess to enjoy for a long time."
It was obvious that this person had no idea what had happened and was just telling the information he knew in his mind.
"Oh, by the way. Here's an invitation. Their family will hold a grand banquet tonight. Of course, I'll take these drinks first."
Looking at Zhou Ye in front of him, Soke immediately had someone unload the wine from the cart pushed by the Space Marines behind Zhou Ye. It was obvious that he wanted to make a profit from the wine.
This was the greed of a businessman, something he deliberately displayed. The two of them had only just met by chance, and if he appeared too enthusiastic, it would have the opposite effect. Furthermore, the revenue from these drinks was actually meaningless to him right now; he valued the planet behind Zhou Ye more.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. Should I report this to the Inquisition?... Never mind. Those crazy people are a nuisance. If that's the case, don't blame me for using a scalpel strike."
Looking at the invitation in his hand, Zhou Ye stroked his chin. There was nothing wrong with this invitation, and there was no trace of chaos on it.
But now I have two choices: report it to the Inquisition. However, this information is not very accurate, and I can't use the six-day reason to report it. After all, they dared to say so directly, which means there is a way to make the Inquisition return empty-handed at this stage.
But another method is to just drop a Terminator team, which seems to be a good method. And clearing out rebellion requires evidence, while clearing out chaos only requires knowing the location and time.
This banquet must be a huge missionary event. I might as well go over and see what they are up to.
"Ai-chan, get ready to teleport. When the time comes, follow my orders. Just drop a Terminator squad down. It's just a sector noble."
Zhou Ye also contacted Hyperion directly about this. He didn't need to airdrop them. He could use the authority of the Herrscher of the Void to directly teleport them from the cabin to him. In a place without subspace fluctuations to distort time and space, it would be as easy as drinking water.
This time, he decided to kill any cult members immediately if he encountered any signs of it. He didn't want to get involved in any more big fights. He had probably already registered with the yellow-skinned guy, so it was better to keep a low profile.
"My plan must be perfect. A mere Slaanesh is probably still in the early stages of corruption. I will kill them with lightning speed."
Zhou Ye was very confident about this, and then he left with two Space Marines disguised as genetic slaves.
"What a pity! I guess they'll be eaten to the last bit."
"Tsk tsk tsk, young man, don't you know what it means to keep your wealth within reach?"
"Hehe, I don't know that disaster is about to happen."
At this moment, when Zhou Ye was walking out slowly, he clearly heard a group of people laughing. Of course, Zhou Ye turned a deaf ear to it. The two Space Marines behind him had already started to rub the daggers at their waists.
It’s a pity that Zhou Ye has already reminded them, so they won’t say anything.
So soon, several people arrived at the temporary hotel they rented. Zhou Ye had to admit that it was quite luxurious. Although the world of Warhammer gave people a feeling of backwardness and advancement, those luxurious places were still not much different from those in his previous life.
PS: Here's a long chapter, it depends on the situation in the evening. Today is New Year's Eve after all, so I have to be busy in the afternoon, so I'm a little sorry.
68
Chapter 68: The culture of Slaanesh is like a flood and a beast, poisoning the youth of the empire.
Gwent's Hive, the most prosperous palace in the Top Nest.
Unlike the lower and bottom nests that are filled with all kinds of poisonous smells and pitch dark, this is a palace filled with birdsong, flowers, mountains and flowing water.
Here you can see all the scenery above Holy Terra before and after 3K. Nothing is impossible for these top nobles.
If you only play Space Marines, you may feel that a group of people live like that, but in fact, most Space Marines are ascetic monks.
