Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 311: Chapter 84: Virtual IP Black Hole

Hell Task, Gao Gong has done them in his past life, and although failures made up the majority, he did complete some.

And for those completed hell-level tasks, 100% were accomplished through the brute force of civilization power.

In the universe, the only unchanging truth is that among all things of the same level, civilization is and always will be number one.

He has never completed a solo hell-level task before.

Theoretically, this task is also impossible—unless he is a time traveler.

What attracts Gao Gong the most about this task are two points: changing the timeline and the boss template fragment.

These two things have never appeared in the player interface of his past life.

The former he has at least seen, after he reversed the Beast Tide, timeline changed +3%.

He vaguely sensed that this was something very important.

After all, his time travel couldn’t have been without reason.

As the timeline changes, the truth might gradually surface.

In fact, history has already changed—even if he does nothing.

Because he once searched for the account he used in his past life on the game forum.

This account was not registered.

In other words, in this timeline, there is no player called Mr. G from the booklet sect.

So the question is, if the memories of the past life are true, where is Mr. G?

And if the memories of the past life are false, whose memories have I inherited?

This is actually a grandfather paradox.

He’s very interested in this answer!

Besides, since the reward for completing the task is to change the timeline, conversely, if he doesn’t participate, will Paradise Bird’s hacking plan end in failure?

And is it because of this failure that she chooses to join the extreme Holy City Organization and attacks Arasaka Tower in the future?

If because of his involvement, Paradise Bird’s plan succeeds, will it interfere with her choices in the future?

As everyone knows, the Four Heavenly Kings have five, so it’s feasible for the 11 Arhats to become ten.

Gao Gong looked at the amber glass and said, ”We’ll discuss the specific reward when we meet Paradise Bird.”

Ahong looked surprised, this old monster was resolutely rejecting a second ago, and now he agreed?

Is his personal charisma that strong?

”Get into my brain disc first, if you’re going to work against the Deep Net, you should hide your ID first.”

Ahong was aware of the ’virtual brain disc’ hacking technique, but those who truly mastered it were rare.

The fact that Gao Gong knew this move only deepened his judgment that the other was an old monster reincarnated from code, probably with some connection to the Deep Net.

A hacker’s special skill, Virtual Invasion initiated, soon Ahong found himself in a scenic alien landscape, with stars in the sky seemingly within reach, even the atmosphere blocking his view was absent.

”Are we in a black hole’s accretion disc scene?” Seeing the golden world akin to the Eternal River Flowing Sand and energy radiance everywhere, Ahong couldn’t help but voice his question.

”Too much chatter, do you want to save people or not?”

Gao Gong impatiently replied, turned his head to look at Gao Yuanyuan, his face subtly changed, showing a doting smile: ”You surely know what we have to do?”

”Does brother need my help?” Gao Yuanyuan tiptoed, playfully smiled.

Gao Gong shook his head, ”I’m afraid not this time. With your skills, it’s hard to completely evade the Planet Host’s tracking; I need to do it myself, but in my current state, it’s hard to support high-level virtual technology.”

The ultimate move has its thresholds too. Given Gao Gong’s current state, the Cyber Hacker is pitifully at level 5, and he hasn’t even transitioned.

Yet his target is the level 90 Mother City Deep Net.

”Then brother can use my body,” Gao Yuanyuan trusts Gao Gong 100%, not worried at all that he would install a bro-con chip or something.

”Then I’ll use it a bit.”

Ahong stared wide-eyed at the siblings, what kind of outrageous remarks are these!

In the next moment, Gao Gong closed his eyes, ’Sensory Data Programming’ initiated.

For average hackers and Neural Editors, this skill is usually used for virtual program development and editing.

But with a veteran’s expertise, Gao Gong directly skipped this step and proceeded to ’Self-Programming.’

This suicidal behavior startled Ahong, ’Self-Programming’ has always been a significant hurdle in hacking technology, akin to performing surgery on oneself, a brain surgery, using a kitchen knife!

This is almost impossible!

Among their master’s four disciples, only the old man has clearly done this, but judging from the old man’s unrecoverable black history, even this self-programming likely had issues.

If there were no issues, the old man would have successfully achieved electronic ascension and become a deity of data.

Data streams like fireflies scattered across Gao Gong’s surface, while at the same time, white light emitted from Gao Yuanyuan’s body, attracting these green silver fireflies.

The sensory signal on the body surface is the easiest to handle, as even if there’s a mistake, it won’t affect the normal functioning of the human body.

However, when Gao Gong dismantled the eight major human systems at the same speed, Ahong’s expression turned ghost-like.

Movement, nervous, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, endocrine, urinary, reproductive.

The relationship between these eight is like that of a playboy and a wild girl, seemingly inseparable in love and death, but actually secretly having affairs all over, 3456789P, a messy entanglement.

Neural signals, hormone secretion, enzyme breakdown, respiration... the sensory signals generated by various chemical reactions are different, crucially, they are entangled, pulling one affects the whole system.

To craft a huge code group while simultaneously processing data and causing mutation requires an astronomical amount of effort.

However, deserving of the title ’battle-hardened pro,’ what seems impossible to Ahong is as effortless to Gao Gong as pleasing a rich lady.

Gradually, the ’Firefly’ glow turned from green to yellow, and their numbers multiplied exponentially.

Gao Yuanyuan freely accepted the supply from the other.

Gao Gong’s figure began to appear illusory, while Gao Yuanyuan’s body transformed, turning into the shape of the ’Rich Lady Love’ prototype machine.

Eventually, a red double helix structure of data stream shot out, starting to coil around Gao Yuanyuan.

Ahong’s eyes widened, this red data stream in his eyes was practically the ultimate pursuit of a cyber hacker.

Human Body Source Code, or Life Code!

When this red data stream completely wrapped around Gao Yuanyuan, she vanished, replaced by a new electronic life—Rich Lady Love Prototype.

Name: Gao Gong

Race: Electronic Life

Level: 54

Personal Attributes: Power 0, Agility 0, Endurance 0, Intelligence 500, Perception 1500, Personality ??

Information Energy: 1403333

Skills: Advanced Neural Shuttling (Open), Virtual Personality Editing (Open), Darkened Artificial Intelligence (Open), Advanced Electronic Control (Open)...

Note: Strange, this Information Life actually possesses Schrodinger’s personality, the universe is truly full of surprises

The Rich Lady Love Prototype looked at Ahong, eye data streams cascading like a waterfall, and Ahong immediately felt his human body source code being copied.

”Let’s change the IP first.”

The stunning youth snapped his fingers, the entire accretion disc began to revolve, the saucer-like Sea of Light stretching infinitely, interstellar matter around the accretion disc constantly being sucked into it, asteroids, meteoric debris, energy gases, dense materials.

With each absorption, a new IP covered the two of them.

Such IP changing skills Ahong also had, he had around 80 if not 100 human brain IP addresses in his possession.

But in just a second, Ahong felt over a thousand IPs of different genders and races covering him, and they were increasing exponentially.

”How many IPs are we going to change?”

He couldn’t help but ask.

The youth thought for a moment:

”Considering the search intensity of the Planet Host, a million is an appropriate number.”

Ahong nearly fainted in shock.

Seeing the other’s pale face, Gao Gong thought he was worried about being traced back through the internet and explained:

”With the spinning speed of this black hole accretion disc, in another ten minutes, the generated fake IPs will reach billions, by then, even the Planet Host won’t be able to parse this amount of IPs.”

”I call this technique the Virtual IP Black Hole.”
