Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 787: Chapter 311: Password Killer

’Punk Killer Blueprint? There’s such a thing.’

Gao Gong casually opened it.

[You have obtained a special blueprint: Encrypted Killer]

Encrypted Killer: A password is a special kind of information, and information forms special instructions; hence, encryption constitutes life, and instructions constitute death.

A large amount of ’encrypted codes’ poured into Gao Gong’s mind.

With a thought, the pheromones on Gao Gong’s right arm automatically adjusted, forming strings of ’encrypted codes.’

Then, something strange happened. Gao Gong’s right hand quickly turned transparent, becoming a kind of transparent silver.

[Beep beep, part of your body has entered an ’unknown state’; the traits of this state are unknown, please exit this state as soon as possible]

’It resembles the ability of a Cyber Killer to transform enemies.’

Moreover, this transparent silver seemed to extend upwards from the arm.

With a thought, Gao Gong summoned a ’data life form.’ The next moment, Gao Gong’s transparent hand penetrated the other’s chest.

”You’re quite ruthless,” said the data life form, looking exactly like Gao Gong, complaining.

The next moment, the transparent silver flowed through the wound and spread over the entire body. As it completed the final coverage, this data life form disintegrated entirely, transforming into numerous encrypted symbols and numbers, scattering all over the ground.

”The damage is quite strong!”

Gao Gong was a little surprised, knowing that the data life form he summoned was at the Tier 2 level.

However, Gao Gong also realized that this ’data life form’ was not dead but that its life had been encrypted in some way. In other words, as long as the encryption method was found, it could still be reassembled.

More interestingly, the ’limit 4’ of the Virtual Life Cloning Ceremony became ’limit 3.’

”If it’s like this for virtual life, then what about real humans?”

Gao Gong had a thought and called outside: ”During the last corporate war, didn’t we capture a bunch of mercenary prisoners? Bring one up to me.”

A moment later, the door opened, and a mercenary, tied up with ropes, was brought up by a Biological Hunter.

”Boss, what are you going to do?”

”It’s nothing, you can go now.”

The mercenary looked at Gao Gong with terror, as if looking at a devil.

”How about we make a deal? Cooperate with my experiment, and as long as you survive it, I’ll let you go.”

Gao Gong showed an innocent smile, then once again activated the ’Encrypted Killer’ ability, and his transparent silver hand plunged into the other’s chest.

”Ah!”

”Huh?”

When Gao Gong withdrew his hand, the mercenary looked blankly at his chest, not a scratch was on his skin.

”Alright, the experiment is over, you can leave.”

With a light snap of his fingers, the chains on the mercenary fell off, and the expression on the prisoner’s face turned to ecstasy. Testing with a backward step, seeing no reaction from Gao Gong, he quickly turned and grabbed the door handle.

However, the next moment, his face suddenly twitched, and his entire facial features melted like wax before reassembling into Gao Gong’s face.

”Huh, what is this, reality conversion?” The prisoner-dressed Gao Gong curiously examined himself.

”How do you feel?” Gao Gong asked.

”Hmm, this person’s genetic structure seems to have been encrypted by me, which is exactly why his life characteristics were replaced by mine,” the prisoner-dressed Gao Gong contemplated.

”However, this encryption transformation, compared to the one of the Cyber Killer, seems to be different. It’s unstable and has a time limit. I estimate this encryption can only last for 30 minutes.”

”But as long as I remain undercover, this time won’t deplete.”

Prisoner-dressed Gao Gong had a thought, his features melting away, once again taking on the prisoner’s appearance.

The prisoner looked pale, as if he’d suffered a severe illness.

”Do you remember what I just said?”

The prisoner shook his head in bewilderment.

”Oh, I’m sorry, the previous agreement is void.”

Gao Gong snapped his fingers again, the door opened, and the guards came in to take the prisoner away.

Meanwhile, in Gao Gong’s mind, a faint connection appeared between him and the prisoner. This connection was encrypted, unknown to anyone else, and could transform into himself whenever he wished.

’For virtual life, it’s an encryption ’kill’ method; for real life, it’s a short-term genetic encryption transformation.’

And this ’Encrypted Killer’ is just one kind among Punk Killers, probably not a high level. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be the blueprint for the second ring of the task.

”Tsk tsk, no wonder it’s called a Civilization Poison Core. Just this one move, forget during the Civilization Era, it’s hard to defend against even in the Cyber Era.”

Imagine, a corporate executive unknowingly falling into an ’Encrypted Killer’ trap, and the entire company’s business secrets would be doomed.

The most amazing thing is, it doesn’t even involve genetic modification, just a temporary genetic encryption. This means even genetic testing can’t detect it.

Gao Gong looked with interest at the third ring of the task.

[’The First Avalanche’ Task Second Ring: ’Zero’s Transformation Ceremony’]

Difficulty: Tier 2 - Nightmare

Mission Brief: You finally obtained the ’Transformation Ceremony’ from the Cyberpunk Gathering venue. Now, the task is simple: please proceed to the location of the ’Transformation Ceremony’ and uncover the truth behind the First Avalanche.

Mission Objective: Head to Database 0 and trace Zero’s conversion process

Mission Reward: Experience +10 million, acquire ’Punk Killer Transformation Technology’

”The third ring is already a ’Nightmare’?”

The difficulty of a nightmare is roughly equivalent to Gao Gong taking on the Vinos Biotechnology Group single-handedly. Can these few hackers manage it?

This Hell Task is more difficult than Gao Gong imagined.

The five levels of mission difficulty are Simple, Normal, Difficult, Nightmare, and Hell. The ’Hell-level Task’ is the pinnacle of mission difficulty.

However, there are distinctions between Hell Tasks.

Some Hell Tasks merely touch the threshold of ’Hell’.

While other Hell Tasks are ’Hell’ because their difficulty ceiling is at ’Hell’.

And this ’Avalanche’, according to Gao Gong, belongs to the latter.

”Punk Group.”

Gao Gong fell into deep thought, struggling to make a decision.

Honestly, there’s a rare lull period before the launch of the Cyber Tide, and Gao Gong is preparing the final touches to confront the Memory Mother.

If he gets involved, he’ll inevitably clash with that ’Golden Avalanche Man’. Handling an ’Encrypted Killer’ is already troublesome enough, let alone a high-ranking figure in the Assassin Group, who might even be the number one position.

But if he does not intervene, this task is likely to fall through.

It’s just a Hell-level Task, and letting it go would be tough, but manageable.

However, if there’s a chance to obtain the ’Civilization Poison Core’, it’s not just about feeling a sense of loss.

The Civilization Poison Core, though deeply troubling, is extremely effective for troubling others.

It’s even useful for countering a Level 1 Civilization, one of the few treasures capable of confronting a higher-level civilization.

He will undoubtedly step into the universe in the future and needs to prepare in advance.

If he ultimately cannot synthesize the Cosmic Relic or handle the Memory Mother, obtaining a Civilization Poison Core would not be a bad alternative.

It’s a matter of choosing between sesame seeds and watermelon.

’Is there a possibility to find someone who can seize control of the Punk Group from the ’Golden Avalanche Man’, becoming the new ruler of the Ancient Virus Organization?’

In fact, Gao Gong does have a candidate in mind.

”We’ve arrived,” Du Zhaodi appeared out of nowhere, placing her hand on Gao Gong’s shoulder.

Gao Gong turned his head, and the silver starship wall parted automatically, revealing a window through which hot air and murky winds and sand rushed in.

Lifting his eyes, he saw a vast golden desert stretching endlessly.

While not the S-Level Continent, it’s another perilous region on this planet known as the ’Desert Hell’.

It’s called Desert Hell due to its unique terrain, causing robotic energy to deplete extremely swiftly, ten times faster than normal.

”How does it feel?”

Du Zhaodi closed her eyes, sensing, and said: ”Indeed, energy consumption increased by 40%.”

”Probably because this is an ’Energy Funnel Zone’.

An Energy Funnel Zone, also known as an Anti-Energy Area or Energy Void Area, typically forms on planets with high energy intensity. Like this Radiation Planet beneath his feet, it is a standard Energy Planet, with most of its surface covered in radiation energy.

Precisely because of the excess radiation energy, excess leads to a counterreaction, leading to certain areas being ’forbidden for magic’, but a mechanical ’forbidden magic’ area like this is rarely seen; this makes it a great place for corporations’ test subjects and Biological Mutants to hide in. Known as the ’Abyss of Mechanism’,

”Then you ascend, Xiao Yu and I will go down,” Gao Gong called to the next room: ”Little girl, are you ready?”

”Ready, Boss.”

Quickly, Gao Gong and Xiao Yu, along with the Doomsday Black Emperor behind Xiao Yu, appeared on the deck of the Great Curved Saber. Xiao Yu took a deep breath as dozens of data cables from the Doomsday Black Emperor’s abdomen shot onto her back. The Emperor’s Light enveloped her and the Doomsday Black Emperor. For a moment, it seemed as if a giant golden sphere covered the deck, and even Gao Gong’s mechanical body hummed, indicating Xiao Yu’s efforts weren’t in vain.

There is mutual sensing between Destruction Forms, especially within the same Destruction Form.

Somewhere in the vast desert, Xiao Yu suddenly looked up, a creepy smile appearing on a face crawling with dozens of transparent worms.

”They’ve come!”

The Bio-Fusion Route Xiao Family and the Mechanical Route Xiao Family will finally have a showdown.

Ironically, both Xiao Family members are traitors to the Xiao Family in some sense.

As for Gao Gong, he floated in the air, quietly observing the scene.

He does not intend to intervene in this battle because the reintegration of Destruction Forms can be problematic if interrupted by another Destruction Form.

If only 99% is fused, and 1% disappears, he wouldn’t even know where to cry about it.

So, it’s up to you, Little Angel Xiao.
