Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 409: Chapter 162: Cracking Memory Metal

In the sky above Fucheng Island, a streak of light flashed by.

”Boss, it’s off course, it’s off course!”

”Boss, speed up!”

”Boss, let me drive.”

”Shut up!!!”

A ’Gao Gong’s spinal sword’ trailing black smoke fell from the sky, awkwardly embedding into a rock.

The sword’s body was severely worn, sparking in places and flickering with electrical arcs in others.

At the end of the sword hilt, two heads dangled, one belonging to Gao Gong, the other to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu, pressing against Gao Gong’s chin, urgently demanded, ”Boss, let me transform, just once!”

”Are you sure you can transform?”

”Of course, I’ve watched it several times. Absolutely no problem!”

”Alright, I’ll trust you this once.”

The Gao Gong’s spinal sword - no, it should be Xiao Yu’s spinal sword - began to transform, with various parts awkwardly flipping out, occasionally ejecting titanium alloy components due to mismatched assembly, while a fractured reactor spun chaotically around before finally settling at the navel - and stopped moving.

Well, close enough.

Who says the reactor must be embedded in the chest? It’s good enough that it didn’t end up in the forehead.

The mechanical Little Angel Xiao Yu returned to human form once again, jumped a few times, stretched her limbs, and felt quite pleased with herself.

”Boss, see, I told you I could transform. Hey? Boss, where are you?”

”Damn it, where did you move me to!” Gao Gong exclaimed angrily.

Little Angel looked down following the sound and immediately noticed that her boss’s mechanical head, at some point, had been relocated behind her butt, resembling an upside-down durian.

”Oh, I was wondering why something felt different. I thought it was your tail, Boss!” Little Angel remarked innocently.

”Nonsense, does your tail weigh a dozen pounds? No, does your boss even have a tail?”

”Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll help you turn back. Where do you want to be? How about in my chest? I’ve been wanting a big cup size.”

”...”

Separated from the biological body, Gao Gong as a weapon alone wouldn’t require such concern.

But for long-distance ’Sword Flight,’ using an already severely damaged mechanical body, Xiao Yu, who’s a bit dense, is quite unreliable.

With her driving skills, midway through the flight, the already heavily damaged mechanical body might explode.

That’s why Gao Gong came out personally.

Eventually, Gao Gong’s head was implanted into the mechanical body’s abdomen, becoming a mechanical version of Xingtian, sharing the same mechanical body with Xiao Yu, heading straight for the biochemical laboratory.

The reason for coming to Fucheng Island is simple, before the major battle, Gao Gong needs to repair his mechanical body, or at the very least, patch it up partially.

Xiao Yu went out of commission once in the Sub-human Continent, and during the fight against the Mechanic, it was overworked again.

Now this mechanical body is in very poor condition.

...

In less than a month, the entire Fucheng Island has changed dramatically. With the tireless work of tens of thousands of robots, most of the island’s buildings have been leveled, replaced by a super-luxurious biochemical experiment center. Although only two stories tall, its area is about the size of ten football fields, not to mention various other facilities.

In addition, the experiment center is equipped with many advanced biological research devices, all airlifted from the Iron Sand Desert.

Because of this, Professor Han, rarely seen, complained a bit. In the holographic video, this master with a brain tank had a full head of white hair and a dark expression, seemingly barely coping after just a few short months.

Gao Gong knew that when a Bionic Man begins functional decline, the decay speed is ten times that of a normal person.

This one truly is entering life’s twilight years.

Of course, unlike normal people, Bionic Men can ’rejuvenate’ with a top-level full body overhaul, gaining a new lease on life.

Of course, the ’rejuvenation’ parts are extremely precious, forming the core of bionic technology.

Professor Han holds no hope for this level of surgery.

In the last video call, this usually reticent professor uncharacteristically talked with Gao Gong for a long time about life, ideals, and teenage regrets.

Gao Gong listened with a heavy heart.

He didn’t tell the other party that once Sister Rose successfully ascends, there will be plenty of rejuvenation materials.

No other reason - he just enjoys watching others socially die.

...

The robots on the island quickly discovered the ’intruder,’ and soon, Dr. Rong and Dr. Yuu appeared at the door of the experiment center.

As newly emerged extreme mechanofleshists, Dr. Rong expressed strong disapproval of Gao Gong’s separation from flesh and machinery, shaking his head as if on drugs, with an expression of anger over the lack of progress, calling it ’heretical’.

Gao Gong ignored him and looked at Dr. Yuu, whom Dong Gang had spoken of. Surprisingly, this doctor’s real age wasn’t much, although thick glasses and a bowl cut made them look like a middle-aged woman.

But based on Gao Gong’s LSP experience, this one shouldn’t even be 20 years old.

An under-20 top Biological Expert is top-notch talent even in the Cyber Test Field.

Like the Prosthetic Doctor, Biologists need to choose an advanced profession after reaching level 10.

And the choice of advanced profession is also a choice of knowledge direction—

”Paleontology,” ”Evolutionary Biology,” ”Interstellar Biology,” ”Morphological Biology,” ”Microbiology,” ”Bioinformatics,” ”Biological Genetics,” ”Ecosystem Science,” ”Origin Biology,” and so on.

Only by choosing a knowledge direction will an advanced profession be generated.
