Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Looking at the endless, lush green prairie, Gao Gong frowned slightly.

The style of the cyber society is a combination of high technology and low living.

This is mainly because advanced civilizations are here to conduct experiments, not to improve people’s living standards.

And the ’mechanical scroll’ in front of him gave Gao Gong the same déjà vu.

This isn’t scientific; how did such a crude holographic technology create such a clear realistic environment?

Shouldn’t it be all pixelated?

Soon, a series of ’creak’ ’creak’ sounds rang out from the sky.

Unlike the ’buzz’ of a helicopter taking off.

Nor like the sharp sound burst of a rocket launch.

Most of the time, a mechanical octopus flies silently, only during acceleration do its mechanical tentacles entangle, merging energy nozzles to emit a sound similar to ’compressed metal’.

Gao Gong looked up, and saw mechanical octopuses the size of water tanks appearing, two rows of iconic red eyeballs, tentacles under their heads flexibly waving as if swimming in the air, each entangling, the energy nozzle spurting out, leaving a black trail in the air, while the octopus instantly teleports a hundred meters forward.

”Old model mechanical octopus, haven’t seen you in years.”

The technology of the cyber society, especially military technology, advances rapidly.

Today, this type of mechanical octopus has basically completed miniaturization and largescale updates, with miniaturized versions turning into the city’s mechanical eyeliners, and larger versions being the mechanical mother roles brought in by Director Du during the Beast Tide battle.

Actually, there’s also a light-speed level octopus spaceship, and a planet surveying machine: tentacle type that can drill into the earth core, these planet-level weapons can only be seen in the Mother City.

Yet the older model of octopuses still has its merits.

A single hair of an advanced civilization is black technology to a planet-level civilization.

The emitted ’black ink line’ is clearly a kind of advanced energy residue.

This allows the squid to reach hundredfold sound speed in a short time, appearing as instant teleportation to the normal eye.

Soon, Gao Gong saw what they were chasing.

A very steampunk styled gear horse.

This wasn’t a Mechanical Bio-Beast, but a personal transport tool from the Imperial Era.

The hooves of the gear horse are made of compressed rubber wheels, with each step using a nitrogen acceleration mode.

However fast the gear horse, it can’t beat a squid equipped with an advanced energy jet.

On the horse stood a nearly three-meter-tall knight, who drew out a thick-backed big knife in reverse grip, its blade composed of various sharp gears that spun madly upon extraction, causing the blade to heat up and glow.

This knight looked much like the imperial soldiers Gao Gong saw at the ’spaceship core’, with an engine built into the abdomen, all kinds of mechanical exoskeletons and wires embedded in his body.

By today’s standards, this exoskeleton design is quite outdated.

However, after the knight drew the sword, a visible red energy aura overflowed.

’A top-tier warrior of Level 2 Civilization, and this familiar feeling, Emperor’s Might!!’

A Level 60 War God, his individual combat power had already reached the peak of a Level 2 Civilization, his palm suddenly slapped the horse’s back, his figure vanished instantly; at the same time, two mechanical octopuses ’teleported’ over and shattered the gear horse.

’Is this real-time data transfer in reality?’

Next, the knight displayed a perplexing sword technique, with each flash of the blade producing overlapping shadows, and always predicting the opponent’s direction as if he had foresight.

’Close Combat Spatial Technology? Full Body Engine Acceleration?’

Gao Gong dismissed these guesses.

’These are mecha manipulation techniques, and of the top-level kind. This is so damn cyber.’

Large mechas are basic tactical units in interstellar wars, with some super mechas even possessing the power to split starships.

The reason mechas are mechas rather than humanoid battleships is mainly because mechas are directly controlled by the pilot, merging the pilot with hundreds of thousands, even millions of mecha parts, which results in extremely terrifying damage output.

And to master such top-level mecha operation techniques, there are no shortcuts, it must be compiled through generations, sometimes even taking detours or regressing.

Without thousands or tens of thousands of generations of mecha replacement, it’s impossible to develop such ’top-level mecha operation techniques’.

A Planet Civilization that just developed a basic mecha actually achieved such top-tier techniques.

This is so damn absurd.

The universe is vast and boundless; under such large numbers, indeed, some mutants occasionally appear, such as a civilization ascending to Level 7 within decades, or suddenly erupting to cover hundreds of star systems, even several star system clusters with a celestial calamity, large-scale space folding, monsters of cosmic-level beyond civilization limits, or giant structures, relics, marvels.

Compared to these cosmic-level monsters, top-level mecha operation techniques are almost nothing.

But when taking the planet as a unit, such technology is absolutely a bug, and an inexplicable bug at that.

But bugs must have a reason.

Gao Gong started to search with the memory of his past life for the cause of this bug.

There are several possibilities, but none quite fit.

As Gao Gong pondered, the system panel kept refreshing.

[You received teachings from ’Nameless General’, obtaining ’Basic Mecha Technique’]

[You received teachings from ’Nameless General’, experience improved, ’Basic Mecha Technique’ Level 2]

[You received teachings from ’Nameless General’, experience improved, ’Basic Mecha Technique’ Level 3]

[You received teachings from ’Nameless General’, experience improved, ’Basic Mecha Technique’ Level 4]

...

[You received teachings from ’Nameless General’, experience improved, ’Intermediate Mecha Technique’ advanced to ’Advanced Mecha Technique’]

This is where the role of intelligence is reflected.

The more intelligence you have, the faster you learn, the more you comprehend in some areas of understanding.

Gao Gong’s intelligence is only half of his perception, ’just’ 50 points.

But at the same level, even if a player’s entire attributes are invested in intelligence, it’s only on par with Gao Gong.

At this time, the operation of countless mechanical bodies seemed imprinted in Gao Gong’s mind.

Large as mountains and seas, small as nanometers.

When Gao Gong collected his thoughts, the ’mechanical scroll’ had already closed.

’Seems the Gambling God might have miscalculated this time.’

Not to mention ordinary people in three days, even in thirty days, they may not get what Gao Gong did.

More importantly, Gao Gong already understood the other party’s purpose.

Advanced Mechanical Skill (1/3) Level 1: Advanced Mechanical Body Operation Techniques, Mechanical Body Operation +300%, Burst +80%, Additional State: High-temperature Mechanics, Pure Mechanics

Note: This is only one-third of a top-tier technique, only by gathering all parts of the advanced mechanical skill can its full scope be restored.

”So that’s how it is.”

Gao Gong muttered to himself; the remaining two-thirds of the advanced mechanical skill is likely on Fucheng Island.

...

Placing the mechanical scroll aside, Gao Gong thought for a moment and decided not to go online tonight.

Gox is on the move, and should anyone discover his connection with her, tracing back through the network, that would be a headache.

If I can’t deal with a virus, I could definitely deal with you.

Better to check on my sister, and who knows how well she’s been learning?

Just logging onto his brain disc, Gao Yuanyuan gave him a surprise.

”Brother, I created an algorithm!”

”So fast?” Gao Gong was taken aback and asked.

”Yep!”

Gao Yuanyuan lightly waved her palm, and in the next moment, countless symbols swirled around her like dancing sleeves, weaving a nine-fold vortex, quickly interacting with surrounding trees, flowers, and animals, transforming the entire forest into a giant data net.

Name: Association Algorithm

Knowledge Level: Core

Algorithm Description: This algorithm can cover all surrounding nodes from a single connection point, and can also break down a large command into countless directional small commands.

Note: This algorithm also possesses virus propagation and deep algorithmic characteristics.
