Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Xiao Yu opened her eyes.

This time, her eyes were no longer garbage plastic eyeballs, but large eyes like those of Kazilan, with the information stream tracing back to the central pupil like starlight.

The external mechanical spine segments elevated her upper body, with blue light energy nozzles slowly seeping out of the mechanical patterns.

There were over 30 of these three-phase nozzles on her body.

She extended her arm, the slender bio-muscles seemingly containing immense explosive power, and on her shoulder was a small inscription—Mas Sharpness Type 16·Flaming Bird.

With almost no preliminary movements, Xiao Yu leapt off the bed, somersaulted several times mid-air, and landed on one foot. Her front foot touched the ground, while her raised right leg, with a well-rounded thigh and firm calf, displayed a body curve so authentic that only an experienced gazer could achieve it.

On either side of her pelvis were embedded human body engines, one side inscribed ’One Heart, One Body’, and the other ’Heaven and Earth are Useless’.

Similarly, the embedded engines were human-matched, not obtrusive at all, but rather accentuated her pert and firm little behind, which would give a slight jiggle with every two steps in her tights.

90% of this body was mechanical, with only 10% being bio-muscle, and the majority of that bio-muscle concentrated on her butt.

As the former God of Books, Gao Gong deeply understood a fundamental principle.

The height of a mountain is not great, but it is spiritual if it has presence, and the depth of water is not great, but it is spiritual if it harbors a dragon.

The dragon is all about the curve! It can expand and contract, show itself or hide, large and vibrant, or small and concealed.

Therefore, the curve of the young girl’s behind was particularly well-adjusted.

Xiao Yu naturally wasn’t aware of Gao Gong’s thoughts. She only felt a bursting force coursing through her body.

This power even surpassed her father’s modifications of the past.

”I am so strong!”

Xiao Yu dazedly extended her palm, as the blue light network spread from her palm to her arm and entire body.

Indescribably smooth and fluid.

”So, how does it feel?”

”Perfectly suitable!”

Of course it’s suitable, every mechanical part on you is company-produced, with the lowest quality being Fine grade. If it wasn’t for me accessing goods through internal channels, you could only dream about having a full mechanical set like this!

With this setup, her mechanical energy was nearly on par with mine, reaching 22,000 points.

However, mechanical energy is one thing; whether you can master this super mechanical body is another.

After all, Mas Sharpness’s body equipment is notoriously two extremes: extremely high performance and extremely poor stability.

”Your weapon is broken, so I’ll lend you this blade for now. Remember, it’s just a temporary loan.”

Gao Gong casually tossed a peculiar samurai sword, which shot out with electricity.

Xiao Yu almost instinctively grabbed hold of the Assassination Snake Blade, one of the Assassination Alliance’s nine top-name swords.

Xiao Yu was not like Gao Gong who had already tamed this blade. Almost the moment she held the hilt, three metal snakes hissed, their poisonous fangs aiming straight for her tiger’s mouth.

[Genetic Contamination], [Blood Sacrifice], [Bloodthirst], and other negative states surged out crazily.

Xiao Yu employed a technique totally opposite from Gao Gong. While Gao Gong used his power to suppress and conquer the blade, Xiao Yu displayed a skill comparable to art.

Her nimble fingers danced on the handle, tracking and dodging the three little snakes, her wrist flexibly maneuvering to maintain a teetering connection with the sword.

A plethora of beheading data flashed out of her eyes.

Gao Gong watched this scene with keen interest.

Using the sword’s built-in smart chip to ’execute’ this blade.

Controlling with heart

Cutting sword with sword

What kind of cyber martial hero style is this!

By alternating between closeness and distance with this demon blade, the [Genetic Contamination] and [Bloodthirst] never managed to interfere with her.

Gradually, Gao Gong spotted a unique code hidden in the data fluctuation within Xiao Yu’s eyes. This concealed line of code flickered between visibility and hiding in the data stream.

This was the data Sword Spirit of the sword!

Or rather, the login password.

The next moment, Xiao Yu’s fingers suddenly reached forward, entwining the three small snakes. Her room, tiger’s mouth, and pinkie each gripped a snake’s mouth, her fingertips precisely clamped the snake’s seven-inch point, wrapping both snake and hilt in an eerily exquisite palm print.

With a slashing motion, the Snake Blade sliced diagonally downwards, the blade even twisting seven or eight times in the air.

As the blade descended, hundreds of ’hiss’ sounds echoed in the enclosed space.

Gao Gong felt as if he was in an enormous snake pit, surrounded by countless red eyes, red tongues, and venomous fangs.

’What kind of Orochimaru operation is this.’

Before Gao Gong could disperse the surrounding aura, the crimson tattoo on his body surface was stimulated, instantly emitting countless flesh spores, engulfing and digesting the snake swarm around him.

Gao Gong and Xiao Yu simultaneously came back from the illusion.

”Oh, I apologize, I didn’t notice you,” Xiao Yu quickly apologized.

Gao Gong smiled gleefully and said, ”So, how’s the blade?”

”A very interesting blade.”

”And this mechanical body?”

”Absolutely fantastic!”

”Alright then, since you’re satisfied, let’s settle the bill.”

Gao Gong turned around and pulled out a long bill, its length even surpassing Xiao Yu’s height.

Xiao Yu took it with a bewildered expression.

Explosion-Resistant Ligament: 8000 Mechanic Tokens

Motor Thighs: 12000

Small Arm Bones: 4100

High-Fiber Cartilage: 5000

Human Form Mecha Modification: 40000

Reinforced Respiratory Muscles: 13000

Blade Prosthetic Eye: 46000

...

This whole set, 4 million Mechanic Tokens is the base cost.

The Combat Girl’s expression shifted from shock to horror, and then from horror to despair, paired with those big eyes looking particularly amusing.

The Combat Girl, who had just easily tamed the thousand-person-slaying Demon Blade, pouted repeatedly, her eyes turning red.

”I-I don’t have any money.”

”No money, huh,” Gao Gong scratched his ear, with a playful smile, ”What should we do then?”

”I’ll work to pay it off, I can even pick up trash!”

”Makes sense,” Gao Gong nodded seriously, ”according to the average salary of a Nightless City white-collar, two thousand Mechanic Tokens a month, you just need to work for two hundred years to easily pay off this debt.”

Xiao Yu, upon hearing this, had tears swirling in her eyes—in fact, to satisfy his own twisted sense of humor, Gao Gong had intentionally reinstalled her tear ducts.

Probably because her cerebellum is overly developed, greatly compressing the survival space of her brain, this Combat Girl didn’t even think of defaulting on the debt.

It sounds odd, but for this narrow-minded person, it couldn’t be more normal.

How headstrong must one be to think of selling body parts for money.

If you don’t want to steal, you can rob.

The streets full of gangs in the Outer City District, aren’t they all walking wallets for you?

In this Cyber Society, encountering a person with moral scruples is rarer than winning the lottery.

”Since you’re broke, why not work for me then, I’ll double your salary, four thousand Mechanic Tokens a month, so in a hundred years, you’ll have paid it off. See, you’re getting a good deal.”

Xiao Yu is a simpleton, but not dumb, instinctively feeling something’s off. Although this guy saved her life, his expression doesn’t seem to be that of a good person.

”Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, I’m a Prosthetic Doctor. Those illnesses your friends have, like cyber psychosis, mental disorders, network virus intrusion, post-brain removal syndrome, etc., I can cure them all.”

Gao Gong ignored the impact of this statement on the narrow-minded girl.

”Really, can you really cure them?”

Gao Gong looked up, and the big eyes approached closely, staring at him intently.

”Even if you’re just a head, I can bring you back, what do you think?”

”If you can do it, I-I’ll work for you!”

Gao Gong flicked her forehead with a finger, and as she clutched her head in pain, he revealed a kind smile.

”Good, next I have a task for you. Do you know what role-playing is?”

”Playing a role?”

Xiao Yu tilted her head, her shoulder-length short hair wobbled along with her movement, both dazed and adorable.

Gao Gong shook his head helplessly, with your intelligence, how do you have three templates?

Name: Xiao Yu

Race: Modified Human

Level: 22

Mechanical Energy: 22000

Personal Attributes: Power 30, Agility 40, Endurance 28, Intelligence 51, Perception 77, Personality 80

Skills: Xiao Family Mechanical Blade (Expert), Sword Mad Rain (Expert), Top-level Mechanical Skill, Gun Force (Expert), Martial Artist’s Heart (Talent)…

Template: Battle Angel, Mechanical Girl, Imperial Orphan

The last time I saw a super genius with three templates, it was Rich Lady Du.

Even more exaggerated, this narrow-minded girl’s personality is actually higher than Director Du’s.

Is this guy’s personality made of steel?

...

”Fuck, I finally made it!”

”Haha, Mechanical Art, wait for me!!”

Mr. Taichiro laughed a few times with his hands on his hips, others follow the regular route, only he, as an organ trade company salesperson, uses a special passage—the corpse transport passage.

”Ugh~”

”Ugh~”

Unfortunately, aside from him, his two buddies were leaning on a telephone pole vomiting. Although this game can pixelate, when you’re buried in a pile of intestines, livers, eyes, or even dongs, the AV-quality censorship doesn’t help, only the law channel does.

”Where’s the person, the npc for the task?”

Mr. Taichiro shook the intestines off his head, then happily ran into Red Leaf Street to hand in the task.

But within ten minutes, he ran back looking pale as a ghost and horrified.

”Too, too scary!”

”Red rainwater, the elderly sweeping in the rain, and that faint knocking sound, the girl selling coffee like a ghost, appearing and disappearing, it’s just too scary!”

The two buddies couldn’t help but roll their eyes.

This guy is a weirdo, saying he’s timid is odd because he loves ’corpse picking’ and can enjoy eating while watching American horror movies, but say he’s bold, and he’s scared to sleep with the sound of dripping water in the bathroom at night, jumping at the slightest noise with 1000 decibel screams.

”Let’s go, let’s go, I’ll take you to hand in the task,” a buddy said impatiently.

”Thanks, thanks, oh, do you want this eyeball, it’s so pretty, I specifically took it off to make a specimen.”

”Whoa, stay away from me!”
