Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 400: Chapter 157: Level Up and Second Enhancement

Gao Gong returned to the Life Industry’s human experimentation center with a relaxed expression.

As soon as he entered, he saw Qin Chunzi, Dong Gang, and others looking at him with peculiar expressions.

The holographic screen was broadcasting live news, with a large number of reporters surrounding the entrance of the Illusion Mansion, and circles of Peacekeepers outside the doors.

From the mouths of various hosts, words like ’crystal monster,’ ’human experimentation,’ and ’electronic defense wall failure’ frequently appeared.

”Don’t look at me like that, I wasn’t involved, I don’t know anything,” Gao decisively denied, then cheerfully said, ”But in the short term, the enemy probably can’t engage in a corporate war.”

The Corporate Will is heavily damaged, and high-level combat strength is damaged. Unless the other side is completely irrational, they won’t launch an offensive now.

Of course, it also doesn’t rule out the possibility that the other side is indeed irrational.

Therefore, Gao Gong has plans for the future.

”You want us to go to Crime City?”

Early the next morning, when Gao Gong announced this decision, Jack, Lady Red Dream, and others looked at each other in bewilderment. Not leaving earlier or later, but exactly now, this was utterly incomprehensible.

Isn’t this the eve of a decisive battle?

Gao Gong shook his head, ”Sunless City, Nightless City, sooner or later there will be a grand merger, and you going out now is crucial to the plan.”

”As for how to do it specifically, she will tell you on the way.”

Gao Gong pointed to the previously tightly closed laboratory, and as he spoke, a strong biological aura began to rise.

Everyone present felt a tingling sensation, as if countless insects were crawling on their skin and in their minds.

The door opened, and Daisila stepped out.

Compared to before, Daisila’s skin was now covered in eerie red patterns that extended to her face. Her long hair turned red, with barbs growing on it, and her right eye had completely transformed into a spider’s eye, pitch-black, slightly protruding, occasionally rotating.

Inside the pupil, it was as if there were countless tiny hairs.

The first Full Level of a Mechanical Hunter was born. Under Carbon Fusion, the three spider genes—Electronic Spider, Radiation Spider, Mechanical Spider—were perfectly integrated.

And her bloodline evolved from a Primordial Person to a Spider-Man.

Spider-Man: A high-tier planetary species, perfectly fusing the genes of a Primordial Person and a mutated spider, possessing powerful explosive force, impressive transformation ability, and several special biological skills.

”How are you feeling?”

”As good as can be,” Daisila extended her palm, and countless spider silks were released from the pores, quickly forming a spider silk glove.

The high-tier strong individuals present could all feel the threat from this one, like a giant pervasive spider.

For a strong individual taking the carbon-based route, the state before and after Carbon Fusion are two entirely different concepts.

Once in the ’fusion’ state, all attributes drastically soar, making it possible to take down enemies 10 to 15 levels higher.

Along with Daisila being an Elite Template, with the dual power boosts, no one present dared claim to be sure of victory against her.

Of course, except for Gao.

”Boss, should we leave too? But my experiment—” Dong Gang hesitated and said.

”The experiment can be done later. I’ve already had Qin Chunzi make a backup.”

Qin Chunzi nodded silently, apparently already aware of some inside information.

”So should we set out now?” Jack asked. He didn’t know what the others were planning, but it was obvious he was very interested in the idea of leaving Nightless City.

”No rush, not just you are leaving; you also need to take a group out for me.”

Gao Gong grinned, snapped his fingers, and Little A deployed one holographic projection after another, each showing a group of players. Initial estimates put the number at over five thousand.

This was also the total number of Nightless City’s players.

The Collider’s mouth twitched several times, ”A few people breaking out of Nightless City can be managed, but you want us to charge out with these thousands of burdens?”

Gao Gong smiled and said, ”Don’t underestimate these people. Each and every one of them is a talent from various industries, pleasant to talk to, and full of exciting ideas; I really like them.”

Though he said so, others clearly showed strong resistance.

Gao Gong didn’t force them, but smiled and said, ”How about making a deal? I’ll bring Chapai back, and you guys are in charge of taking the people out for me.”

”During the process, I’ll try my best to reduce the attack intensity of the Mechanical Legion.”

”You can bring Chapai back?”

”You’re planning to negotiate with Mechanic using the black box?”

The Collider and Pupil spoke almost simultaneously, clearly seeing through Gao Gong’s intention.

The Mechanic Gao Gong intended to negotiate with would definitely not be the old Mechanic they were used to dealing with.

”Indeed.”

”You intend to sell her out?” Pupil asked directly.

”I brought back what she wanted, but she didn’t come to pick it up after the transaction time. Isn’t selling it to someone else quite reasonable?”

”You should know what this represents,” Pupil’s expression turned serious.

This black box was the Mechanic’s ’system core,’ or ’container,’ basically whoever possessed it could suppress another.

Especially for the new Mechanic on the upper hand, getting this item would make it impossible for the old Mechanic to fight back.

”Then shouldn’t you be happy? The old Mechanic has undergone Mechanical Awakening and is a standard mechanical rebel. Since you’re from the Mother City and I’m suppressing it, you should be giving me a banner of commendation.”

”I’ll definitely embroider one,” hurried to show loyalty the Collider, ”But Master, you surely must bring Chapai back.”

Gao Gong smiled, checked the time, and said, ”Let’s do it at eight o’clock in the evening, meeting adjourned for now.”

As others exchanged puzzled glances, Gao Gong had already slipped away, the door shutting with a ’bang.’

”This—”

Gao Gong couldn’t care what these people thought, as he was busy now.

Personal experience directly invested half to raise ’Planet Hunter’ to lv9.

Leveling up to 20 required experience measured in millions.

Of course, after the Second Transformation, attribute points also began skyrocketing.

[You have upgraded ’Planet Hunter’ to lv2, Power +3, Agility +5, Intelligence +5, Perception +3]

[You have upgraded ’Planet Hunter’ to lv3, Power +4, Agility +5, Intelligence +5, Perception +3]

[You have upgraded ’Planet Hunter’ to lv4, Power +3, Agility +5, Intelligence +5, Perception +4]

...

After leveling up nine times, the respective attribute points were Power +30, Agility +55, Intelligence +45, Perception +30.

Virtually simultaneously, Agility and Intelligence broke through to triple-digit milestones.

The familiar options once again appeared.

[Due to reaching 153 in Agility, obtaining a secondary enhancement, please choose your direction of enhancement]

[Speed Man/TikTok Expert/Tail-following Elite]

[Due to reaching 112 in Intelligence, obtaining a secondary enhancement, please choose your direction of enhancement]

[Unmanned/Fortune Teller/Wise Man]

Um, Gao’s eyelid twitched.

The system is getting increasingly flippant with naming now.
