Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 744: Chapter 269: Level 50 Faction Profession

Construct - Gear Machine, an extremely dangerous construct, can turn every mechanical module in the human body into terrifying gears, slicing and crushing everything in their path; among all constructs, it is also a rare heavy-duty construct.

Faced with Gao Gong’s inquiry, Fat Xiang showed a sad expression:

”Brother Shan was very good to me, he took care of me when we were in Hive City, always guiding me in close combat techniques. He even told me that since his heart demon was gone, once we arrive at Du Gao Technology, he must produce a batch of Little Martial Gods. He held us in high regard and respected Brother Gao very much.”

Gao Gong was silent for a moment.

”Are you really sure? To harness a construct, you must suppress its killing intent with a strong mind, which means you’ll have to constantly battle it. Once you lose, you’ll become a pure killing machine, and at that point, we must eliminate you actively.”

As Fat Xiang grew older, a circle of beard also grew around his mouth, and his eyes no longer looked naïve or innocent, but rather exuded the broad-mindedness and calm of a mature warrior.

”Brother Gao, it was you who brought me out to see this vast world. Our opponents are various mechanical transformers and strange biological mutants. Of course, we are stranger, riding mechas the size of buildings, capable of transforming into Hunters of different forms, assassins, space warriors, and female mechanics. There are also those big corporations, Mother Cities, super organizations, and the more dangerous monsters in the darkness you mentioned. We must defeat them all one by one.”

Fat Xiang revealed an excited smile. In Gao Gong’s memory, the last time he saw him this excited was while playing the virtual machine.

But this time, the excitement was no longer disturbed by biological mating desires.

”I can’t leave the battlefield anymore, Brother Gao, let me run for a little longer.”

Gao Gong punched him on the head and said nothing more, as Fat Xiang’s parole was up. The wheelchair automatically adjusted to autopilot mode, carrying him to the nursing home for the next stage of physical repair.

”Did you hear all that?”

Aunt Xiang walked out from not far away with a complicated expression, revealing that she hadn’t gone far and had been eavesdropping from a distance.

”You’ve led my son down a path of no return.”

Gao Gong rolled his eyes, ”What kind of talk is that? After seeing the vastness of the outside world, do you expect him to stare at your old face every day? If it were me, I wouldn’t want to either.”

Aunt Xiang angrily kicked Gao Gong, then took a deep breath and inexplicably started laughing.

”Take him away then, let him see the outside. If you truly have the ability, take him to the universe and see what’s above those pitch-black coal clouds.”

”No problem, I’ll find your son an alien wife.”

...

After agreeing to let Fat Xiang follow the ’Gear Knight’ route, he was quickly sent into the Nest Repairer for complete body repair.

Pure repair wasn’t difficult, the challenge lay in restoring his strength after repair. For instance, this time, once Fat Xiang regrew his hands and feet, ’Carbon Fusion’ was immediately lost.

This ultimate move of carbon-based creatures is something cloned creatures find very hard to master.

This is also why Gao Gong said he couldn’t become a ’Biological Hunter’; without the high burst from ’Carbon Fusion’, how else could he hunt enemies?

In this regard, it wasn’t a problem for ’Superpower People,’ because once ’Cell-Level Cloning’ is completed, their superpowers won’t disappear.

”Brother Gao, the technology for the Gear Machine has been reverse-engineered,” Xu Xiaoming said.

This former biological apprentice of Professor Han is now an excellent biologist, and he is currently responsible for developing biological chips.

Gao Gong received it, and a prompt automatically popped up on the system panel——

[You have obtained Level 8 Mechanical Blueprint [Construct - Gear Machine (Entire Body)]]

”Is that so,” Gao Gong murmured to himself.

He had previously been interested in the construct on the Single God, but upon trying, he found it wasn’t viable.

High-level equipment requires not only a transformation rate but also compatibility.

And he couldn’t be compatible with such a construct. It belonged to the ’deadly enemy’ type with the construct on Gao Gong’s body, completely incompatible.

So this thing can only be temporarily shelved, looking forward to Fat Xiang inheriting the ’Gear Machine’ and maybe training some apprentices.

”Brother Gao, the Biomechanical Technology you brought us is really amazing. Our entire lab has been greatly inspired, and maybe, we can really produce the ’New Hunter Module’!” Xu Xiaoming said excitedly.

”How confident are you?”

”Very confident. Biomechanical Technology itself is a parallel mechanical and biological modification route. We just need to integrate our ’Hunter Plan,’ and we can create a higher-level Hunter profession.”

”How long will it take?”

”In the next two to three months.”

”That’s good news, I’ll apply for a ’bonus’ from Ms. Du on your behalf.”

”Thank you, Brother Gao!”

Watching Xu Xiaoming, who was dancing with excitement, Gao Gong smiled. Perhaps it was from working in the lab all year round, but his personality hadn’t really changed, still so lively and not at all like someone trained by Professor Han.

’Du Gao Technology’ currently has a profession cap at Level 40.

Which means, by following the Biological Hunter/Mechanical Hunter path, completing 100% Hunting Transformation, and adding a ’Carbon Fusion,’ after reaching Level 39, advancement is capped.

Unless the transformation technology in our alliance breaks through, otherwise Level 39 is the ceiling.

In this aspect, ’Mechanical Hunter’ is somewhat at a disadvantage because it doesn’t have the big move ’Carbon Fusion,’ which can boost attributes by at least 10 levels in a short period.

But the new version of the ’Hunter Module’ will solve this problem.

The ’New Hunter Module’ integrated with ’Biomechanical Technology’ can not only accommodate two different types of chips, meaning you can become a Mechanical Hunter if you want or switch modes to follow the Biological Hunter route and then unleash the ultimate skill, activating ’Carbon Fusion’.

It’s nicknamed ’Dual SIM Dual Standby’.

The birth of the ’New Hunter Module’ will solve the career path issue for the 40-50 level range of our faction.

Gao Gong has even higher expectations for it.

’If ’Biomechanical Unity’ is equivalent to a mini version of ’Fusion Transformation’, then can the ’New Module’ incorporating this technology explore a civilization profession with a ’Fusion Route’ coming out of it?’

The reason the ’Fusion Civilization’ is so powerful is not because a badass-plus version of the leader keeps carrying the whole scene.

Rather, each member, even an ordinary ’civilization member’, can enter the ’Super Transformation Mode’.

This is the truly terrifying aspect of this civilization.

Imagine, with a disagreement, billions, tens of billions of people simultaneously evolving into the ’Radiation Life Tree’.

In this case, don’t just talk about one planet, I’ll show you how I can drain an entire star system.

This is what truly makes the ’Fusion Civilization’ terrifying: every member of civilization is a super monster.

But how the other side achieved this, Gao Gong just doesn’t know.

In his previous life he was the Master of Tier Six Virtual Civilization, having a player panel and being familiar with the plot, inherent conditions couldn’t be better, but even reaching this point, his legs would occasionally shake, worried that one day he’d lose control due to a moment’s carelessness.

Although Advanced Civilizations are unimaginable entities, Gao Gong simply doesn’t believe that any top-level civilization’s waste could compare to him.

So there must be some method he isn’t aware of that allows each civilization member to enjoy the benefits of ’Fusion Transformation’.

The ’New Hunter Module’ is a great experimental attempt.

Fully mastering the ’Fusion Hunter’ would be equivalent to a low-end version of the ’Fusion Mode’.

”Does the new Hunter Module have a name?” Gao Gong asked unexpectedly.

”Uh, no,” Xu Xiaoming froze for a moment, then quickly made amends and laughed: ”Since you’re the founder of the Hunter route, why don’t you name it.”

”Let’s call it ’Biomechanical Hunter’; if someone breaks through again in the future, this will be the name of the new tier.”

”After the Hunter Level, Mad Hunt Level, and Blood Hunter Level, another Biomechanical Hunter level emerges. Your mercenary corps is indeed ambitious.”

Gao Gong turned his head and saw Ye the Big Lolita looking at him angrily, accompanied by several executives.

”Finished the tour?”

Gao Gong smiled, greeted Ms. Qiao, and patted Ye the Big Lolita’s head, but she cleverly dodged away.

”Finished the tour, it was very shocking,” Ms. Qiao said somewhat nervously: ”I never expected a new military group to have such powerful backing.”

The fact that the other side has developed for only two or three years and can rival Holy Brain Group’s decades of accumulation indicates their immense potential and monstrous nature.

She is very grateful now that when Ms. Du approached her, she didn’t miss out on this great opportunity due to a moment’s misjudgment.

Otherwise, relying on herself alone, she probably wouldn’t have been able to help at all.

”You’ll be even more surprised.”

Gao Gong scanned the ’Alliance Panel’; with continuous development, alliance experience has now exceeded ’one hundred billion’, reaching an extravagant level of four hundred billion.

Although alliance experience cannot be used for upgrades, pouring so much experience in and still gambling on a few ’Tier 3 Civilization Architectures’ is undoubtedly possible.

Especially since Gao Gong now has more than a dozen ’Knowledge Chains’, offering more choices.

”You just boast.”

Ye the Big Lolita muttered quietly.

But she didn’t dare to rebuke loudly; after all, given the other party’s monstrous nature, what if they actually succeeded?

Once, she thought she was already a monster.

But now she realizes, in this world, there are truly too many monsters.

”You know why I’m here.”

Gao Gong nodded as a matter of course.

Suppressing the Corporate Will of a ’Super Corporation’ is extremely difficult.

But it’s also a step that everyone trying to escape the control of a super corporation must take.

”I will help with this, but first, let me take you somewhere else.”

”Somewhere else?”

Ye the Big Lolita was taken aback, wondering what this guy is up to.
