Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Zhang Yi left the God of War world with a group of ancient dwarves who came to communicate, and Brock also issued an order to expel them after exchanging a large number of weapons from other worlds, several barrels of dwarf beer, and a PS5 full of various games.

“Remember to bring me something new next time you come~”

"You're really not polite at all."

Back in the Warhammer world, Zhang Yi began to think about what to do next.

"Materials, where can I find the right materials..."

"To separate the originally integrated existence... you can try to study the tiger spell. Dad, I haven't been there for a while. As for the rest..."

"How about going there in advance?"

Devil May Cry World, Red Grave City

June 12, 6:00 AM

Nearly a month has passed since the legendary demon hunter Dante was defeated. Due to the growth of the demon tree, the entire Red Tomb City has turned into a hell on earth.

Ordinary troops were completely unable to stop the large number of monsters that appeared because of the Demon Tree (Qliphoth). Ordinary people who were watching the fun or who did not have time to evacuate had all become nutrients for the Demon Tree.

"I told you to take something useful! You can just take the fragments of the Gate of Hell back, but why are you taking the Spartan art statues back? Are you going to put them up as a sacrifice?"

"We can't arrest people! The people here are just ordinary people who were tricked into believing in Sparta. There's nothing special about them!"

"You don't need to move the house! The various materials related to the Yama Blade are the main ones, and you can take the fragments of the Savior."

"Take it easy! I told you not to touch the people from the original cult! Aren't you afraid that Nero will come with the Scarlet Queen? The others are just injured, not dead yet!"

"Why did I let Blood Crow come here in the first place?"

After Zhang Yi shouted to the Blood Ravens Space Marines on the other side of the portal, he turned and looked at the dilapidated streets of Red Tomb City and the demon tree not far away.

Click (photographing sound)

"It's really spectacular." Zhang Yi said as he looked at the developed photos. "If it doesn't matter how many people died."

"By the way, it seems like taking a picture of a demon in the Devil May Cry world might attract a demon... It shouldn't be a big problem."

"Next..."

Zhang Yi looked around and saw some ant-like demons named Empusa, which were created by the appearance of the demon tree, had appeared around him and surrounded Zhang Yi who appeared here.

However, these demons, who were able to withstand the firepower of modern rifles and wipe out the human team, did not attack Zhang Yi in front of them. Instead, they seemed to be... blocking and driving him away...

Yes, blocking and driving away. When Zhang Yi walked towards the opposite direction of the demon tree, these demons would not react at all and would only keep moving in the encirclement. If Zhang Yi wanted to move towards the direction of the demon tree, these demons like worker ants would roar threateningly at Zhang Yi - but they would only do that.

Empusa appears as the Qliphoth grows and takes root. They collect blood for the Qliphoth so that it can grow better, and they will also try to protect the Qliphoth.

But they are very weak beings and can only deal with weak demons and fight humans. When facing powerful demons, they can only shout a few times to intimidate them. After all, their role is not to fight.

After the demon tree grows up, it will bear fruit that can give the eater great power. Mundus once ate this fruit and became the Demon Emperor, and then he ruled the entire demon world.

It is precisely because of this that when the demon tree appears in the human world and begins to grow by absorbing blood, a large number of demons will gather here. The various demons that coexist with the demon tree will naturally not give up this precious fruit - although most of the time they cannot stop the various powerful demons who come here after hearing the news.

It can also be seen from the game that in addition to those demons that have already surrendered to Yuri, the demons that coexist with the Demon Tree, and the demons that Yuri artificially created, there are still a very small number of demons that are unwilling to recognize him as their master and are waiting for opportunities outside the Demon Tree (Goliath is one of them).

In the game, for the sake of gameplay and capacity, the players can only see a few well-known demons. But in reality, the reappearance of the demon tree in the human world is such a big event, it is impossible that there are only so few powerful demons emerging - who doesn't want to be the next demon emperor? (It is also possible that all those who wanted to take the fruit in this month were chopped off by Yuri)

"So, they think I'm a 'wild' 'powerful demon'?" Zhang Yi thought, looking at the several marks on his left arm that glowed in turn. "Well... although if we really want to break it down, there's nothing wrong with this calculation..."

Surrounded by a group of Empusa demons, Zhang Yi walked away from the demon tree, and the group of demons followed Zhang Yi all the way to a bridge.

"If we think this way, the problem we are facing may be bigger than we thought." Zhang Yi said, looking at the Empusa demons standing there looking at him. "For future operations, should we capture some demons and take them back for research?"

As if they sensed Zhang Yi's malice, the Empusa demons who were looking at Zhang Yi suddenly screamed, and then scattered and disappeared from Zhang Yi's sight - perhaps as consumable worker ants, their brains were not very good, but they still knew the most basic principles of seeking benefits and avoiding harm, and they had never been seen wandering around powerful demons.

"Forget it, let's catch a powerful one to study." Zhang Yi said as he watched the demons disappear before his eyes. "Next..."

"Go find Nicole and the others."

. . . . . .

Fortuna (Former seat of the Magic Swordsman Cult)

This city, which was once ravaged by demons because of the cult, has now recovered a lot, but as an isolated island, the recovery work here is proceeding very slowly.

Not long ago, a group of giants wearing heavy armor suddenly appeared on the island and began to collect things related to the Magic Swordsman Cult.

This caused panic among the indigenous people who survived the previous disaster, and naturally this matter was also known to Nero, who had just recovered not long ago.

As the strongest demon hunter here, he naturally had to go and take a look. If he had the chance, he would also vent his anger for being beaten up by Yuri in the demon tree.

But when Nero went to the scene of the incident alone, he found that things seemed to be a little different from what he knew - where did the high-tech construction team come from?

Even as a demon hunter, after having seen all kinds of high-tech things in the previous Order of the Magic Swordsman, it was nothing compared to what he saw now.

A large group of unknown machines are helping local residents repair the damage caused by previous and recent demons, while a large number of workers who came from nowhere are piling up materials nearby.

The [Savior] who had fallen before was also being divided up and transported to other places. Soldiers that Nero had never seen before were standing guard in front of the building of the previous Magic Swordsman Cult.

"Who are you?" Nero walked directly in front of an interstellar soldier and asked. "What do you want to do?"

"..." The Astra Militarum soldiers who were questioned by Nero did not respond. They stood at their posts like sculptures.

Although Nero is one of the best demon hunters in the city, he has no experience in dealing with the military (not counting the Order of the Magic Swordsman), not to mention that these people in front of him do not look like ordinary people.

These people didn't seem to have any bad intentions. He couldn't just go over and hack away at others while they were helping to repair their house, right? He wasn't that kind of person.

Just when he didn't know where to start, heavy footsteps sounded from behind him, and two giants in black power armor appeared behind him.

"So, finally some people are here to take charge?" Nero turned around and looked at the armored giant standing in front of him. Nero's right hand grasped his weapon. "So, who are you?"

Facing Nero's questioning, the two giants took off the grenade launchers from their waists and handed them to Nero in front of them with both hands.

"Can I get an autograph?"

"???"

581. Nicole: Stupid and rich, come quickly

If Nero's flamboyant uncle (Dante) were asked for an autograph, he would definitely sign autographs and then give a flamboyant performance.

But for Nero, a fledgling demon hunter, this was the first time - the first time he was asked for his autograph by a man taller than him.

Putting aside other things, just from the takeaway, these two giants seem to be more capable of fighting than him. For example, their weapons are only the size of half of their bodies - it's so fucking inconsistent!

When Nero was a little overwhelmed by the two Pathfinder Space Marines, Zhang Yi found his office.

It’s not quite appropriate to call this an office, as this is actually Nero’s wife’s bakery (as mentioned in the plot), and Nero’s current office is actually that car.

There was no rich person in the entire Spartan bloodline except Sparta himself. The money Dante earned had to be used to compensate for the damage during the battles, and to pay for clothes for Letty and Tracy. Sometimes they were so poor that they couldn't even afford the house, water and electricity.

Nero is better off. He has a thrifty wife and made a fortune with the information of the Magic Swordsman Cult (Nicole looked at the information about the transformed demons that Nero got from the Cult, and owed him a lot of money for this). However, as a 'grandson of Sparta' who loves to show off (he once used the Scarlet Queen to 'drive demons' and 'speed'), the compensation he needs to pay for clearing out demons is sometimes not much less than Dante.

Virgil is much better off as a lone wolf. After all, his whereabouts are uncertain and he acts based on his mood. If one person is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry, and no one will ask him for compensation (I'm curious why Nero's mother fell in love with him).

If there were minimum living allowances in this world, these people should all be able to receive one or something.

When Nero was feeling a little embarrassed about the autograph issue, Zhang Yi came to Nero's bakery.

Because Zhang Yi is now slightly shorter than the average Space Marine (a little over two meters), when he appeared at the door of Jillie's bakery, the people around him instinctively began to keep their distance from him.

"Hello..." Jillie, a former singer of the Magic Swordsman Cult and a brother of the Pope's personal guard, said to Zhang Yi as he walked to the counter. "Excuse me...what would you like to order?"

"Give me two donuts. I didn't have breakfast when I came here." Zhang Yi said in a very normal tone. "Do you have milk?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi seemed to be here to buy breakfast. He took the bread and milk handed to him and started eating.

It looks fine, doesn't it? It's like a person who looks fierce but is actually normal goes downstairs to buy something (@小新园长), but as a craftsman who makes and sells various magic tools, Nicole instinctively thinks that Zhang Yi is not that simple.

So she asked Jillie to go back into the store and ask her to find a way to notify Nero, while she tried to delay Zhang Yi and find out his background.

"Are you satisfied with the bread here?" Nicole walked closer to Zhang Yi and asked.

"Except for the coconut meat in the filling, everything else is fine." Zhang Yi responded. "Artisan Nicole, right?"

"I'm here to find you."

This answer was within Nicole's expectations. After all, her father (Dr. Fly, the fourth generation) had done so many bad things, so it was normal for someone to come seeking revenge.

But what happened next was completely beyond her expectations.

After hearing Zhang Yi's answer, Nicole was ready to draw her gun, but a gold brick placed on the table made her stunned.

"you..."

"Everything you know about making magic tools, and everything you got from the Magic Swordsman Cult," Zhang Yi said. "I want everything related to it."

"This... may be a little difficult."

Snapped!

Another gold brick was slammed on the table.

"It's not about the money..."

Snapped!

This time it's two pieces.

"You have to know that the skills of some craftsmen are very valuable and can't be shared just like that..."

Snapped!

四块

"If you think it's inappropriate, I can add some technical exchanges."

"I..."

Snapped!

The gold bricks that Zhang Yi bid were as high as the table. Seeing so many metals emitting dazzling light, Nicole began to waver.

Although neither Nicole, Nero, Dante, or Jiriye are the kind of people who would do anything for money, you always need money in life.

Not to mention the daily eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, as a craftsman you also need to buy various tools, auxiliary materials and tools for making weapons. Nero's broken car has been repaired again and again (given the way she drives, it's really a miracle that it didn't fall apart on the road), and it's time to replace it with a new one.

Even for Jillie, although she opened the bakery on her own initiative, she also said in the original plot that because of her work and Nero's work, she often suffered from back pain (that's how she got her massage skills), not to mention Dante.

To put it simply: money is not everything, but without money is nothing.

Just as Nicole began to waver and become distracted, a truck he had never seen before stopped outside the store. The back door of the truck opened, revealing neatly arranged gold bricks inside.

Seeing this, Nicole turned her neck stiffly and looked at Zhang Yi who was sitting in front of her, while the other party shrugged and said, “If you think it’s not enough, I can exchange this store for gold.”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

For a human empire with at least tens of thousands of planets, money is really just a number.

Apart from anything else, as long as Zhang Yi opens his mouth, there will be hundreds or thousands of planetary governors or fanatical believers who will donate all their property - and they will still have to thank him for this.

When Terra was still in existence, the entire palace was made of gold (it seems), and the palace was built on Mount Everest. It goes without saying how big it was, right?

Therefore, any problem that can be solved with money is really not that problem - but unfortunately most of the empire's enemies cannot be solved with money (most orcs probably don't think gold tooth inlays are hard enough).

When Nero finally got the news and rushed back from other places, he saw the gold bricks neatly stacked in front of his bakery, and Nicole lying on the pile of gold bricks with a 'peaceful look'.

He/she has never seen so much money in his/her life!

Even Nero was tempted to take some of the gold bricks on the wall, though only once.

Then he pulled Nicole down and dragged her into the store to find out what was going on.

After understanding the whole story, Nero fell into deep thought.

First of all, it doesn’t matter to him whether he has a lot of money or not. Didn’t he get by just like that even when he had no money?

But secondly, he really needed money recently. His right hand was broken, and the research and development of the robotic arm that Nicole installed for him cost a lot of money. The robotic arm was very expensive for him to use, and three or five robotic arms really couldn't withstand his high-intensity fighting for much time.

Then, the situation in Red Tomb City also made him have no time to accept other commissions recently, so all the expenses of the family fell on Ji Liye. The previous medical expenses (the time when he was beaten by Yuri/if he was not of Spartan blood, he would not have recovered in a month) had already cost a lot of money.

Finally, if you want to defeat Yuri, you have to upgrade your own weapons and equipment, at least the car has to be repaired, right?

jingle--

The door of the bakery opened, and Nero stood at the door, motioning Zhang Yi outside to come in and chat.
