Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 768: Chapter 292: Probing the Secrets

’Complete informationization, not exactly that, it’s more like an information transformation exhibited through the blade.’

In a daze, Gao Gong himself seemed to have transformed into a red meteorite with a 2km diameter, floating within a cosmic environment called Star Abyss. The living conditions here were exceptionally complex, with energy tides erupting at any moment, molecular clouds sweeping by every so often, and gravitational waves frequently scouring the entire area.

In such an environment, this meteorite could only continuously compress its volume, making its body more solid to withstand the hellish surroundings.

Just compressing wasn’t enough; it began to learn to devour some information similar to its attributes from this chaotic data, such as some free silicon elements and iron elements, to strengthen itself.

And this, is the origin of the ’Red Domain.’

’Control and devour of information.’

Red light suddenly flared in Gao Gong’s eyes, as if he ’saw’ the square-shaped mid-level combat chip located at the spine of these robots.

The next moment, the data being processed by the chip was directly absorbed into this red domain.

’Crack’, ’crack’, ’crack’

In the eyes of outsiders, only a flash of red light passed over the blade, and the next moment, thick smoke rose from the bodies of ten robots, wobbling for a moment before collapsing on the spot.

[You defeated the ’Training Robot’, Experience +1000]

[You defeated the ’Training Robot’, Experience +1000]

...

The familiar notification chimed ten times consecutively.

”Bring on the next batch.”

Soon, another batch of training robots was brought up.

Gao Gong assumed the classic iaijutsu stance, but this time it wasn’t the speed-victory Sonic Slash. As the red light gradually brightened, the long blade suddenly began to slowly disappear.

And a red scar appeared on the waist of the training robots.

With a casual wave of Gao Gong’s hand, the robot with over ten thousand blood volume was directly split into two, breaking apart.

’The blade first marks, transforming from solid to information state, and when reverting from information to solid state, it directly destroys the enemy’s body structure.’

In Gao Gong’s view, the greatest advantage of this move is not its lethality, but its 100% destruction of body structure, which, when used effectively, can leave the enemy in an interrupted state most of the time.

’Fall of the Star Abyss’

This move is a series of continuous blade techniques, and when executed, it seems like a star falling into the abyss, with darkness deepening layer by layer until the abyss completely engulfs the star.

’Crimson Star Rain’

When this move is executed, it seems as if hundreds of meteors are falling from the sky. This move not only has the greatest damning power but also consumes the most resources. Gao Gong only slightly envisioned it, and the blade seemed to turn soft again.

’If it were a Martial God implanted with a combat chip, this would be the time to assist with chip weapon data collection.’

’Fortunately, I have a biological computer that’s more efficient than a chip.’

Dragging four blade skills into the system, soon, a plethora of data was refreshed.

3.0 version G System functionality:

Enhance optimized skill attributes, even break through skill level limits

’It’s just a pity this thing can only continuously optimize skill data in ’Man and Sword as One’ mode.’

But looking at the soft, limp blade, a thought crossed Gao Gong’s mind, this thing might possibly be made into a belt?

Under the gaze of several Martial Gods, this ’Anus Monkey’ just simply practiced some blade techniques, and then leaned against the wall entering rest mode, in stark contrast to the ’Fat Pig’ next to him, who was drenched in sweat.

Although on the surface, Gao seemed to be lazing around.

Even during this lazing period, Gao Gong was also keeping an eye on various panels. With the panels, it was easy to see the situations of his own people.

No need to mention Du Zhaodi, after transforming into a Shipgirl, this Director Du entered a super spawning mode, producing mechas one after another, seemingly determined to establish a ’Million Mecha Corps.’

As for other members of the alliance, they were still frantically digesting the spoils of this corporate war.

’Tier 2 Super Technology’, [AT Force Field]

Tier 2 Super Technology, [Consciousness Package Technology]

Level 2 Super Technology, [Soul Technology]

Biomechanical Technology

Various advanced blueprints

Vast amounts of cutting-edge basic technology

These must be ’digested’ before entering the development phase.

Compared to players’ ’blind gambling’ and ’blind modification,’ the speed was significantly slower.

But the benefit is that once fully digested, they could be mass-produced immediately, directly reducing the chip price to dirt-cheap.

This is the greatest advantage of the alliance.

Gao Gong pondered for a moment and then switched to the task bar.

The two Hell Tasks were both ongoing.

Gao Yuanyuan was on the path of the ’third task chain.’

The experienced style of those advanced hackers also put Gao Gong at ease.

On the contrary, it was another player’s mission that made Gao Gong a little worried.

As everyone knows, the 4th Celestial Calamity can harm not only enemies but also one’s own allies—if you expose your health bar.

Therefore, Gao Gong always maintained a somewhat distant relationship with the players.

Yet, when it comes to Destruction Form, he was still quite concerned.

Fortunately, these players were all high-end players, data grinders with no regard for kin, so the likelihood of causing trouble was low.

”Better go take a look.”

With a thought, Gao Gong used the Sensing with Destruction Form and Destruction Aura to let his consciousness traverse thousands of miles to the location of the ’Purple Energy Mirror.’

Before mastering ’Space Folding Technology,’ players did not have ’Space Packages,’ and good weapons had to be carried personally, while his consciousness’ descent did not disturb Baozi and the others.

...

The environment was dark, not seeming to be underground, because of the numerous ventilation ducts.

”Brother Umbrella told me that yesterday the ’Textile Machine’ suddenly had some problems, and Perception dropped significantly,” Baozi said excitedly. ”I think our actions can be advanced!”

”Can finally advance,” Sister Ji weakly replied. Initially somewhat licentious, her body had completely transformed into a maiden form, appearing a size smaller.

”Bear with it a bit longer, Sister Ji, in such top-tier alliance influences, we only have one shot! Pipi, any updates?”

Baozi turned his attention to Pp Head, who was connected to the brain-machine interface, eyes dodging countless streams of data as he pushed up his glasses and unplugged the cable after about ten minutes, revealing slightly swollen eyes.

”Finally confirmed,” Pp Head wearily replied. ”Miss Dida has helped us determine the optimal route. Next, as long as we follow her route planning, we can enter the core area of the Assassination Alliance in the safest way.”

’Dida,’ an AI-route player Baozi recruited with great effort, was quite formidable. It can be said that her assistance brought the team to this point.

”Brother Umbrella still can’t come over?” Baozi looked at another player companion ’Zhang.’

’I Always Love Zhang Aiping,’ the former Business Investigator shook his head.

”Although the Textile Machine was heavily damaged, ’Brother Umbrella’ still couldn’t operate in the core area of the Assassination Alliance, but he said he could help us deal with the assassin scouts outside.”

Baozi nodded, looked around, and solemnly declared:

”Rest for half an hour, set out after half an hour!”

...

Half an hour later, Business Investigator Zhang led the way holding a ’Paper Lantern.’

The Business Investigator was a covert position; only after completing a number of ’corporate investigations’ could one undergo Second Transformation, with career direction aligned with the Mother City’s Six Ministries.

And this ’Paper Lantern’ was the standard equipment for Business Investigators, alliance gear that, once equipped, could detect data flux changes in some organizations and break data illusions.

The few people behind also walked cautiously, all defense equipment activated, as killers of level 40, 50, and even 60 were present in the core zone.

These killers had extremely high burst potential and could even instant-kill them when erupting.

Each participant here had died at least three times on average.

Furthermore, these killers excelled at stealth skills, rendering all investigation skills and pre-prepped detection equipment useless.

Luckily, the Business Investigator’s special abilities could somewhat track the killers’ traces.

Luckier this time, or the ’Textile Machine’ did have an issue, for they encountered almost no enemies along the way.

Soon, the four reached a large wall, patterned with a massive textile design, with live humans embedded into each silk thread, eerily animated: some with vicious faces rushing toward the textile machine, others grinningly escaping in another direction.

Originally, these four players had no way past this ’door.’

According to Dida, it seemed like a form of Advanced Information Lock, needing a corporate mainframe for three to four days to break.

Yet Sister Ji brought them an unexpected surprise.

The reason was simple: Sister Ji had undergone Forbidden Transformation, which altered her life form.

Sister Ji didn’t explain the specific transformation process but mentioned that, post-transformation, her body’s eight systems directly halved.

The benefit was the threshold of other systems rose from 100% to 125%.

Regardless, after the ’Forbidden Transformation,’ she acquired some ’Forbidden Aura,’ which indeed could ’unlock’ the door.

Sister Ji reached out her hand, which turned into silk threads, infiltrating the wall and connecting to the textile machine, then with a sharp pull, the textile machine shifted slightly.

The wall transformed into a door, abruptly opening.

Sister Ji shrank a bit more.

”Once more, I won’t even be able to maintain maiden form, only to turn into a loli, attracting not handsome dudes but perverts,” Sister Ji sarcastically rolled her eyes.

”Let’s go.”

Baozi took a deep breath and led four advanced robots forward.

Surprisingly, there wasn’t any expected combat or shadowy environment, but rather shattered clouds and intercepted fog.

”Don’t be fooled, this isn’t the physical layer but the virtual layer, originally a cyber space entrance.”

Speaking, a lively girl emerged.
