Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 305: Chapter 78: Junior Energy Symbiote

The fourth planetary supercomputer, this is not unachievable in the Cyber Test Field.

’Brain Domain Civilization’ and ’Virtual Realm’ are both Level 2 civilizations leaning towards the virtual side. Breaking through a certain branch on the technology tree to create a ’Shadow Host’ is completely feasible.

The question is, why Xiao Yu?

Gao Gong poked Little Angel’s cheek and brought out her third template.

Bloodline Template: Imperial Orphan

Effect 1: Mecha Clan, due to undergoing modification with Ancient Imperial Mecha Technology, the girl can adapt to any model of ancient mecha.

Effect 2: Descendant of a Fallen Kingdom, as a girl closely related to the empire’s bloodline, she can easily gain the favor of the empire’s remnants.

Effect 3: Empire Reformer, as a special product of the Transformer Civilization, she possesses a very unique talent that might be related to the Imperial Main Brain.

’Imperial Main Brain?’

Gao Gong thought of ’War’ at first, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Knight Order, the ancient military’s artificial intelligence.

Is Xiao Yu’s lineage related to the Knight Order?

That possibility can’t be ruled out, but it’s unlikely.

The operation of a Planet Main Brain requires an enormous computing center, such as the Mother City which occupies the planet’s three largest continental plates.

’War’ today simply cannot achieve this.

The key is the timing doesn’t match. Xiao Yu is only in her teens, when she was born, the Second Mechanical War was long over.

Even if the Imperial Main Brain existed, it should have already been destroyed.

Gao Gong then thought of the missing spaceship core, and in the Mechanical Scroll, the man who wielded top-level mecha skills.

What are these empire people secretly up to?

”Brother?”

Gao Yuanyuan’s voice interrupted Gao Gong’s train of thought. Seeing Gao Yuanyuan’s exhausted face, Gao Gong gently said, ”You go back and rest first.”

Gao Yuanyuan obediently nodded, and her figure immediately transformed into countless neural signals, diving into Gao Gong’s brain disc.

”You, you all—” Xiao Yu opened her mouth wide, showing adorable tiger teeth.

”Stop with the you all this and that, take a look at this thing, do you recognize this person?”

Gao Gong tossed a scroll from the Welfare Gang over, and Xiao Yu skillfully rolled it around with her head, biting open the scroll to reveal a holographic image.

For Xiao Yu, who mastered ’Top-level Mechanical Skill,’ this level of ’enlightenment’ was clearly not much use, but upon seeing this ancient big man, Xiao Yu still gaped.

”Do you recognize him?”

”He looks like my dad!”

”Huh?”

”No, dad isn’t that handsome, he’s just an old drunkard.”

”I’ll thank you on behalf of your dad.”

After pondering for a while, Xiao Yu uncertainly said, ”This person might be my grandfather.”

”What’s your grandfather’s name?”

”Xiao Yuanshan, my grandfather’s name is Xiao Yuanshan.”

So your dad is Xiao Feng? How come you don’t know Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?!

Inserting the opponent’s head into a mechanical body, after a few spins, the valiant and heroic Battle Angel returned.

”Boss, what do we do next?” Xiao Yu asked energetically after spinning in place 720 degrees.

”You go lead the players on missions, clear out the evil and darkness from the territories of the Welfare Gang and Evil Gang, and if nothing else, help little old ladies cross the street or something.”

Xiao Yu loved this sort of thing, cheerfully agreeing before diving out energetically.

”Xiao Yuanshan, what relationship does he have with the empire’s General Xiao Yuanjun?”

After wrapping up matters with the Welfare Gang, it’s time to visit Fucheng Island.

”But before that, I need to advance my Biological Transformation.”

With a glance at the system panel, Mechanical Transformation is at 71%, while Biological Transformation is at 45%. Mechanical Energy and Biological Energy are at 28096 and 7710 points respectively. The major disparity is primarily due to having several high-level mechanical equipment implants, such as the Carbon Atom Reactor and the Shuttle-shaped Floating Cannon.

This is the unique advantage of Mechanical Civilization—so long as the models match, they can be used interchangeably.

Organisms are different. If a high-level biological plugin is implanted in a low-level organism, the initial reaction is reverse devouring.

But it’s a different story now—the A-level biological plugin, Crimson Queen Cells, is activated. As long as it’s below its level, it can suppress any A-level bloodline biological cells.

Gao Gong took out a vial of Genetic Extraction Liquid, watching the black liquid in the test tube wriggle and form tiny tentacles.

Without hesitation, Gao Gong inserted the vial into a neck vein.

The next moment, countless black lines spread out along the vein, seemingly indicating intentions to turn the vein into tiny tentacles.

Under stimulus, countless ’buds’ bloomed on the skin surface, and those tiny tentacles gradually became the musculature within the flowers, with the flower buds’ influence.

The Red Rose transformed into Black Rose.

The strongest attribute of the Crimson Empress Bloodline is its assimilation ability.

[Your Endocrine System Transformation +2%]

[Your Biological Energy +2000]

[Your Perception +2, Intelligence +2, Personality -1]

[You have obtained the talent: Tentacle Charm]

[You have obtained the skill: Sea King Hormone Secretion]

Tentacle Charm (Talent): In the deep sea, the King Squid is the absolute ruler. Its method of hunting involves extending hundreds of tentacles, each emitting a unique male hormone to allure countless marine organisms, binding and devouring them.

Sea King Hormone Secretion (Bloodline): By secreting the Sea King Hormone, the affection of female organisms can be increased.

Gao Gong touched his chin, wearing a peculiar expression.

Why do the skills and talents I’ve obtained all seem so improper?

But that’s not the main point.

Biological transformation has another feature, which is the presence of hidden attributes, and these attributes won’t be displayed on the system panel.

At a thought, fifty phantom tentacles extended from Gao Gong’s body surface, slowly drifting.

After all sorts of chaotic biological modifications, Gao Gong’s ’tentacles’ were no longer the same as the Brain-in-a-Vat’s. The surface of the tentacles was a flowing silver data stream, occasionally flickering with radiation glare, and the shape of the spiritual nodes had become like eyeballs, with blade-like pupils in the center, making any prey feel a life-threatening menace.

Similar to the Brain-in-a-Vat, the number of spiritual nodes was the same, ten on each tentacle.

But after the implantation of King Squid cells, the ’pupils’ on each tentacle increased from ten to fifteen.

This is the real power of biological transformation.

When Gao Gong cast ’Virtual Invasion’ or ’Data Brain’ and other virtual level attacks, the efficiency and intensity of the attacks increased by fifty percent.

Gao Gong took a long breath, all tentacles burrowed into his brow, which pulsed a few times before finally calming down.

”Can’t grow any more eyeballs, Erlang God isn’t popular with rich ladies; at least it’s not useful for picking up girls.”

Gao Gong then took out the second tube of ’Volcanic Fungus Species’, thought for a moment, and injected it into his abdomen.

[Your Digestive System Transformation +3%]

[Your Biological Energy +3000]

[Your Endurance +2, Power +2]

[Your digestive system has mutated, the digestive glands have alienated, the volcanic fungus has integrated into the digestive fluid, producing a diffusion reaction...]

Gao Gong’s abdomen began to glow, a feeling indescribable began to emerge, if one had to describe it, it felt as if a ’vast ocean’ was inside his belly, one that was a primordial soup of mutant bacteria.

His whole body felt hot and steamy, he could even hear the bubbling sounds of ’gurgle gurgle’, like the magma being swallowed and spat out in a volcano crater, giving Gao Gong a strange sensation of ’morning sickness’.

’Bacterial colonies’ began to frantically divide and spread.

Just like the terrifying epidemics in human history.

However, Gao Gong was not an ordinary person.

To be precise, he wasn’t even considered a person.

With a thought, the professional skill of a Radiation Massage Therapist, ’Radiation Massage’, activated, countless crimson flower buds covered his upper body, sharp muscle groups disappeared, flesh turned into a ’flesh mat’, layer upon layer covering the ’volcano crater’ of the digestive tract.

Eventually, not only the muscles disappeared, even the facial features, hair, and nails vanished.

To an outsider, it looked like a basin of minced meat was being repeatedly poured over a human model.

The traits of a Symbiote, combined with the professional abilities of a Radiation Massage Therapist, successfully controlled this unique product of the Radiation Planet.

And the reproductive ability that the ’Volcanic Fungus Species’ took pride in was once again suppressed.

This time, Gao Gong’s Carbon Atom Reactor in his chest lit up, operating frantically, the three-phase thrusters activating inwardly, the violent energy surge making the flesh mat more ferocious.

Gradually, the ’Volcanic Fungus Species’ could only be disgracefully suppressed within the digestive system.

However, this fearsome fungus species, capable of surviving in temperatures up to 3000 degrees, would not give up easily.

It began to frantically absorb energy.

The entire digestive system began to mutate.

[Your digestive system has undergone a secondary mutation, generating intense energy reactions...]

[Your Biological Energy +1000]

[Your Biological Energy +1000]

[Your Biological Energy +1000]

[Your digestive system has completely alienated, upgraded to a ’Junior Energy Digestive System’]

[Your Bloodline has improved, ’Symbiote’ upgraded to ’Junior Energy Symbiote’]

Junior Energy Symbiote: You can generate an ’Energy Reaction’ through normal human metabolism and can also enhance your bloodline strength through absorbing various energy items.

[Your talent, ’Junior Energy Immunity’ has upgraded to ’Intermediate Energy Immunity’]

Intermediate Energy Immunity (Biological Mutation): Immunity to energy attacks below 2000 points, while absorbing 20% of the overflow energy.

[You have obtained the Advanced Talent ’Energy Burst’]

Gao Gong suddenly opened his eyes, reaching out his palm, the flesh in the center splitting open, a beam of light flashed silently, leaving a large hole in the wall, amidst the burnt smoke, slight electric sparks glowed.

”Finally can shoot, not easy at all.” Gao Gong sighed.

Typically, a particle beam impact stream (like the Iron Man) has an Attack Power of 1000~4000.

While Advanced Electromagnetic Weapons and High-energy Weapons, such as the Electromagnetic Rifle, Plasma Gun, Plasma Generator, have an Attack Power between 4000~8000.

The genuine Energy Weapons, such as Iron Man’s Arc Laser Cannon, the Orbital Thermal Beam of Space-Based Weapons, or Gao Gong’s Shuttle-shaped Mayfly Cannon, have an Attack Power exceeding ten thousand.

Although Gao Gong’s ’Energy Burst’ still belongs to the ’Particle Beam Impact Stream’, it is a top-level particle beam impact stream, with a base Attack Power of 3000, already surpassing the pseudo-energy weapons of normal Bio-Fusion Armor and large robots.
