Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 829: Chapter 353: Invitation

The Deep Net left faster than Gao Gong expected.

Regarding the events of that year, she was secretive, but in the end, she mentioned a name.

Supreme Being!

This name, Gao Gong indicated he had never heard of it.

But it sounded like a nickname for some Civilization Leader from Giant Corporation or Terminal Producer Civilization.

However, Gao Gong now finally confirmed that the ’Civilization Poison Core’ chaos of that year not only involved ancient civilization and Mother City Influence, but also Destruction Forms, and even Alien Civilization had a hand in it.

”Brother, I’m leaving now,” said Gao Yuanyuan.

”Hmm, go ahead.”

Gao Yuanyuan suddenly took two quick steps, walked right up to Gao Gong, blushing as she hugged him, and then her figure transformed into a data stream, disappearing.

Though she looks like a little white rabbit, this little white rabbit has something big planned tonight.

She plans to fall Arasaka Tower.

And it’s requested by Gao Yuanyuan herself.

Although in Gao Gong’s view, this task is more suited for Gox, but an 87-level Virtual Life is suitable for anything.

As the largest public Virtual Personality Center globally, once hacked, it would signify the official onset of the Cyber Tide.

Besides, even if one doesn’t do it, the Holy City Organization will, so it’s better to have our own people do it than let other hacker groups run wild.

At least, it can somewhat limit the scope.

Moreover, once involved in the main storyline, the rewards are quite substantial.

But Gao Gong didn’t know that Gao Yuanyuan was preparing for a big task.

And similarly, Gao Gong also had his own task to do.

...

The core data center of the Six Ministries is placed within the Earth Core because it cuts off all signals.

General Cybertron’s Planet Host is also placed within the satellite’s Star Core, not only for security but also to control the entire satellite’s Mechanical System.

However, Deep Net’s Planet Host chose a place known to all but imagined by none.

Other Shore of Freedom.

It’s undeniable that this choice is extraordinarily free.

However, Deep Net told Gao Gong that Other Shore of Freedom, besides being the location closest to Mother City, had other reasons; it was also where the first Destruction Form was born, the site of the planet’s first biological explosion period, and the ’Earth’s Crust Bowl’ of the Primordial Soup tens of billions of years ago, which rose from beneath the ocean due to tectonic shifts to become land.

Though most of its magical properties have permanently vanished over time, some special structures remain preserved.

In other words, it is the life network hub of this planet.

No. 1 Destruction Form, Deep Net, its real name is: Life’s Web.

Gao Gong used Instant Teleportation to return to his mansion located at the Other Shore of Freedom.

It’s obvious that the mansion has been cleaned very well, and the Bionic Man butler showed no surprise at the sudden appearance of the house’s owner but gave a standard smile and said:

”Hello, Mr. G, would you like some tea or coffee?”

”Coffee, please.”

”Alright, please wait a moment.”

The Bionic Man butler left briefly and then returned with a steaming cup of coffee.

”How’s work lately?”

”It’s great, very relaxed. I enjoy reading a lot. Recently, after cleaning the courtyard, I often sit in the yard reading books.”

”That’s great, take plenty of rest if you can, after all, there’s not much work.”

”By the way, Professor Yi from next door visited a few times, but unfortunately, you were not there. I helped you return the visit.”

Gao Gong recalled that some high-level Bionic Man butlers have social functions, so he asked:

”How did the visit go?”

”I really like him and his wife. I think they both represent the future of the Bionic Realm,” the Bionic Man butler smiled proudly.

”In fact, it is precisely because these Advanced Bionics continually become crucial Keystones supporting society’s operations in every Domain that we ordinary Bionics can enjoy more benefits.”

”Hmm, any Race that can climb the Technology Tree is a good Race,” Gao Gong casually responded, suddenly feeling something amiss, and asked again: ”Bionic couple?”

”Yes, Yi Yun and Madam Yi, both are high-level Bionics.”

”Is that so?”

”Do you have any doubts about this?” the butler asked, puzzled.

”No, I was just curious whether every Bionic Man seeks a same-race partner?”

”Considering the special nature of our Race, I believe it is more about mental compatibility.”

”Understood.”

Gao Gong walked to the balcony, quietly observing the three-story white house across.

If he remembered correctly, Yi Yun’s wife was a Natural Person, right?

He closed his eyes and entered the ’Jade Cat’ perspective.

And this Jade Cat was actually a gift he had given the couple back then, and this cat was also a fragment of Gao Gong.

But when the ’Jade Cat’ opened its eyes, all it saw was darkness.

Gao Gong tried Sensing the surroundings, seemingly a room, with windows sealed shut with metal, but the cat’s body appeared unharmed, just slightly emaciated, and unable to get out.

Gao Gong opened his eyes and gazed steadily at the balcony opposite.

Until a figure emerged onto the opposite balcony, holding a flowerpot, seemingly about to water the plants.

Seeing Gao Gong, the person was momentarily stunned, then displayed a joyful grin and made a gesture of holding a phone.

Soon, a Holographic Projection appeared on Gao Gong’s balcony, as the villa he bought had built-in full projection functionality.

”Mr. Gao, nice to see you again. It is rare to see you,” Yi Yun smiled and said.

”Busy, you know, lots of things bugging with Mother City,” Gao Gong likewise smiled and said, ”By the way, how have you been? I heard you’ve visited me several times, but unfortunately I wasn’t here, and you made a trip in vain.”

”No problem, as neighbors.”

”How is your wife?”

”She is great. She really loves the Jade Cat you gifted,” Yi Yun paused, and then continued, ”You’re back just in time; this time I came to invite you to a celebration dinner.”

”Celebrating what?”

Yi Yun displayed a happy smile: ”My wife is pregnant.”

”Is she having a baby?” Gao Gong was startled and asked.

”Yes, indeed.”

”Congratulations, congratulations,” Gao Gong first congratulated them, then with hesitation in his expression, he said, ”Professor, is this a test-tube baby? As far as I know, Bionic Men can’t—”

Yi Yun shook his head and smiled, ”Bionic Men being unable to reproduce is a thing of the past. This technical barrier has now been overcome. We are no different from Natural Persons, 100% synthetic, including reproduction.”

”I see,” Gao Gong showed a sudden understanding expression, ”Then I will surely go. What time?”

”Tonight.”

”Great. Apart from me, who else is coming?”

”Just some Bionic friends. Don’t worry, they are all good people without any bias, especially since you are an employee of Mother City,” Yi Yun reassured him.

”If they’re Professor Yi’s friends, there can’t be any problems.”

They chatted for a few more minutes before the Holographic Projection faded, and on the opposite balcony, Yi Yun waved at Gao Gong with a smile, then went back inside.

”Pregnancy, having a child, Bionics?” Gao Gong muttered to himself.

”Why does none of it sound right?”

”Mr. Gao, would you like to prepare a gift?” the Bionic Man butler inquired.

”You prepare it. By the way, you should come along as well.”

”Then I shall graciously accept your offer.”
