Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 392: Chapter 150: The 3 Major Corporate Wills

For the three of them, as long as they withstand the first wave of attacks, the rest would not pose much threat. Of course, it’s a different story if the Mechanic descends in its true form.

Soon, Ahong’s complaints rang out.

”How long have I been cooped up, and Nightless City’s Cyber Space has turned into this mess? Is this still the Cyber Network?”

”How is it?”

”I didn’t see the Mechanic, but I did see several Corporate Wills drifting toward this side.”

”Which ones?”

”Let me see, Deep Image, Virtual Experience Device, Data Defender, all members of that emerging giant.”

Gao Gong had an impression of ’Deep Image,’ which is a ’Network Real Estate Company,’ and they place their residences directly in human brains.

Corporate Will, as a type of collective consciousness, on one hand, is the personification of corporate values, on the other hand, it can act as a large-scale AI. According to players, it’s the toughest group monster, with thick health and defense, requiring specialized weapons to defeat.

’Troublesome.’

With a thought, Gao Gong activated the three traits of a Cyber Renegade: ’Proof of the Virtual,’ ’Top-level Programming,’ ’Human Brain Monster.’

The next instant, Gao Gong’s ’sight’ changed.

The traits added by Full Level knowledge are akin to a gift.

Proof of the Virtual: Under this certification, the gate to the Information Realm will open for you

Top-level Programming: Advanced knowledge requires only the simplest form of programming

Human Brain Monster: To pry upon one is a crime, but to pry upon many, is to be a Human Brain Monster

With the blessings of these three traits, Gao Gong’s horizon suddenly became clear. Various ’buildings’ reverted back to data, while the pedestrians on the streets and tenants in the houses became mini-signal stations, continually inputting Sensory Data, flowing into the gigantic Data Cloud in the sky.

The Data Cloud in the sky also began to change rapidly, and soon, a large amount of data started to invade the neural model city crafted by Pupil.

”Let’s go!”

Suddenly, three pairs of wings sprouted from Gao Gong’s back, and he grabbed Collider and Pupil. Due to Collider’s tremendous weight, his flight speed wasn’t fast, but even so, it was much quicker than your average domestic vehicle.

Not long after he departed, mirrors suddenly appeared out of thin air, each mirror like a replaying video, reflecting the route choices of the three.

What’s more frightening is that as the video replayed faster, the images of the three became clearer, and on some mirrors, Collider, Gao Gong, and Pupil stopped performing repetitive actions but turned to look at the mirrors and began moving toward the mirror.

One by one, mirror people were born.

Deep Image—Create your personal image

Meanwhile, Gao Gong’s system panel also began to show strange changes.

[Your Reproductive System Transformation Rate +1% (temporary)]

[Your Reproductive System Transformation Rate +1% (temporary)]

[Your Reproductive System Transformation Rate +1% (temporary)]

[Your Reproductive System Transformation Rate +1% (temporary)]

...

Crimson lines started to spread across Gao Gong’s skin, and streams of heat emanated from the patterns.

As for the two he was holding, Collider merely showed a discomforted expression, while Pupil’s condition was much more severe. Although her consciousness was still engaged in deep programming, her face flushed hot, and her legs rubbed together involuntarily.

Gao Gong took a deep breath, ’Flesh Carpet,’ his entire body of flesh writhing, directly enveloped the two, absorbing in one breath all the hormones, mainly from Pupil.

The two instantly entered Wise Man’s Time.

Abilities need to be developed, and Gao Gong’s two S-Level skills aren’t exclusively for combat.

However, he wasn’t going to be taken advantage of just like that.

A thought.

The metal cells scattered on the skin surface due to the explosion of Collider, along with Pupil’s cells, were extracted.

[You obtained Level 4 Civilization Metal Material · Memory Metal Cells]

[You obtained Advanced Human Cells · Pupil]

Of course, the above, these two individuals were unaware.

Virtual Machine Company, this doesn’t seem like a legitimate company at first glance.

But contrary to popular belief, this is actually a very technically advanced biological company.

It’s precisely because their biological level is high enough that they can continuously produce products beloved by the lsp community.

However, when Gao Gong appeared at the outskirts of Nightless City, a towering structure emerged before his eyes.

It was a data high wall, so vast that it covered almost all visible space.

This transformation on the reality level was even more exaggerated than Pupil’s.

”Data Defender, Nightless City’s top Electronic Defense Wall developer—if I recall correctly.”

”Yes, Master, you remember correctly, it was developed by the founder, Ann Family, and has undergone 43 iterations, currently with 142 products available in the market.”

Little A’s sultry voice chimed in.

”Oh, you’re online,” Gao Gong said calmly, ”no bad news, right?”

”Everything is under your control, including your clone.”

”Huh.”

As the master of the realm, Old Pawa’s sneaky methods were clear to Gao Gong.

So Gao Gong went along with the tactic, crafting Mechanical Rejection into a personality and giving it to the other side for free.

This was a method he researched in his past life.

Although the personalities were separate, to a certain extent, Gao Gong, as the original, could manipulate the pirate version.

And the one executing it was Little A.

”But Miss Xiao Yu played with your Mechanical Body and broke it.”

”What!?”

Gao Gong had a million expressions of sarcasm to make about how his Clone Splitting Greatsword, the most stable part, encountered a problem.

Even when he served the Rich Lady, his body hadn’t been broken by playing; what was with this young girl!?

’Brother, do you need my help?’

From within the Brain Disc, Gao Yuanyuan’s voice suddenly sounded.

”Is it not troublesome? Aren’t you busy with your own stuff.”

’Not at all, anything for brother is never a bother!’

”Alright then, await my command.”

Looking up at the towering data barrier, Gao Gong frowned. This level of data blockade was almost reaching the threshold of a Level 3 Civilization.

This wasn’t the most troublesome part; the real trouble would be if another Mechanic intervened, then it would be a fight for their lives.

Fighting against a Mechanical Main Brain in a Mechanical City is like looking for trouble inside a toilet with a lantern.

The previous person who did that, oh, he’s still alive and well, actually.

Yet Bionic A is unique, and their Nanotechnology is at least at the pinnacle of a Level 3 Civilization.

That counts as a Dimensional Strike.

”Never mind, let’s talk later, Yuanyuan—”

Gao Gong was about to say something, when his brows furrowed, and he abruptly shut up.

At the same time, Ahong’s voice sounded too.

”The boss of this Local Area Network seems to be coming out, Old G, should we consider running away?”

”Wait, the situation seems to have changed.”

”Huh, this type of encryption command, it’s actually a recall?”

Amidst Ahong’s surprised voice, the thousands of mirrors vanished into thin air, and simultaneously, the massive data barrier before Gao Gong disappeared too.

A familiar feeling welled up again.

The Mechanical Eyeliner retreated as well.

Pupil opened her eyes, calmly saying, ”I’ve brought back the Mechanic.”

”What do you mean?”

”I forcefully connected the Mechanic using the Mother City’s permissions and made it withdraw the attack order.”

”So what’s the situation now, is the new Mechanic suppressing the old Mechanic,” Gao Gong asked.

”Something like that, but more accurately, it’s that the new Mechanic is about to be born, no longer borrowing the old Mechanic’s power, and will completely become a new Mechanical Main Brain.”

”So I can’t deliver this Black Box? If I go to the Main Brain Area, I’m afraid what awaits us is the new Mechanic.”

Pupil also fell silent, and after a long pause, she tentatively said, ”Should I apply to the higher-ups to have the team leader come over?”

Gao Gong laughed dryly, ”That violent lady, haha, let’s discuss it later, discuss it later.”

Pupil was silent for a long while, then suddenly said, ”Why am I all sticky?”
