Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 984: Chapter 90: Investigation 4

Gao Gong’s basic attributes are as follows.

Personal Attributes: Power 355, agility 357, Endurance 322, Intelligence 395, Perception 366, Personality: -1122

Except for Personality, all are three digits.

He could say with certainty that in the same Tier, even the descendants of Space Giant Beasts, solely in terms of attributes, could not surpass his.

But the Corpse King surpassed him in basic attributes.

Even more strangely, the Corpse King’s Blood Volume and Biological Energy were astonishingly strong.

Life Value: 2.5 million, Biological Energy: 10 million

This is similar to an A-level Beast King.

But actually, you can’t count it like that.

Human Form species and the Blood Volume of large-sized monsters are two completely different things.

The Blood Volume of large-sized monsters is often dozens or even hundreds of times that of Human Form species.

This is the rule of biological Evolution.

Even if it’s a Corpse King with a boss template, if it couldn’t Transform, its Blood Volume should be around 250,000.

Gao Gong’s current Blood Volume is at this level.

And the Corpse King, also belonging to Human Form, shouldn’t have so much Blood Volume; not to mention this Corpse King carried so many human systems.

Zombies, this species, no matter on which planet, are low-system creatures with barely a few active components.

Although as their strength increases, their mutation deepens, and body distortion and gigantism are trends, this has little relation to the Human Body System. The more distorted the creature, the fewer Human Body Systems it has. Some parasite species or radiation creatures barely have one or two complete Human Body Systems, or even none at all.

’The stronger, the less human-like, how come the zombies on this planet defy the basic laws of zombie Evolution?’

Gao Gong recalled the dissection results and vaguely grasped something in his mind. He could probably guess what the Cyber Test Field on this planet was experimenting with.

Then, a task notification sounded with a ’ding’——

...

”Are you saying that you can train to consume your Transformation Rate and enhance your basic attributes!?”

Baozi exclaimed in surprise.

Can this really be done? Can the game be played like this?

He always thought that these Transformation Spaces could only be used for implanting Plugins, Biological Plugins, Mechanical Plugins, Brainwave Plugins.

He had never seen an operation that burns Transformation Rate to increase attribute points.

The fully zombified Corpse King Hunters before him chuckled, there was finally something this fake Alien didn’t know.

”We’ve calculated that after burning 1% of Transformation Rate, basic attributes can be increased by 5~10 points, and these attributes can enhance Blood Volume. So, although we don’t master many powerful skills, our average attributes are four to five times that of other players, which is our capital for resisting zombies.”

Another Corpse King Hunter showed his fully zombified body, saying:

”There is just one small problem, as the Human Body System degrades, our bodies gradually zombify. The more the Transformation Rate is burned, the higher the zombification degree.”

Baozi curiously asked:

”So if you consume all your Human Body System Transformation Rate, essentially 800% of the Transformation Space, into basic attribute points, would you completely turn into an unconscious zombie? After all, even your Neural Systems are burned away.”

The Rakish Knight shook his head, saying:

”Actually, we’re not sure, because as the Transformation Rate drops lower, it becomes more difficult to exchange attribute points through zombification. Our zombification degree as Corpse King Hunters is already quite high, but still, no one has reduced any system’s Transformation Rate to 0%.”

”I don’t know what the main quest on your planet is, but based on the task chain we’ve been doing in the past year or two, the experimenter’s real purpose might be to create a ’Zero Zombie’ with all eight Human Body Systems and a Transformation Rate of 0.”

”Interesting... wait, ahem, did you guys discover I’m an industry insider?” Baozi chuckled dryly.

The Ruins Chef rolled his eyes, speaking sullenly:

”We also go to forums, you know two forums are interconnected, right?”

”Damn, who the hell exposed our identities!”

Baozi was furious. Although the other side didn’t explain in detail, it must be some show-off player exposing their identities.

”A bunch of useless teammates, ruining my fortune-making plans!”

”You see, Alien brothers, the players on our planet are all paupers. How about you sell us your equipment at a cheaper price?”

”Damn, cheap, how’s that possible! Who else am I going to earn money from if not paupers!” Baozi shouted angrily, paused, and then chuckled again:

”Also, brother, don’t fool me. It’s one thing for other players to be paupers, but you guys can create a city, right? Once you succeed in building the city, you can open the ’Advanced Shelter’, correct?”

”Don’t think only our side has lousy teammates.”

The Rakish Knight and the Ruins Chef’s faces both darkened.

...

Accompanied by a ’booming’ noise, a mechanical body dozens of meters long fell heavily to the ground like a meteor, appearing amidst numerous cracks, the figure of Lord Celestis appeared on the Immortal Energy Star.

Lord Celestis’s monitoring system opened, connecting with the Star Destroyer. Soon, a monitoring network covering at least one-third of the planet took shape.

As an advanced Mechanical Species under the Planet Host, although not the same host, it works within the same Mechanical System. Naturally, Lord Celestis has its means to contact the Planet Host sent to other Cyber Test Fields.

Back on the Mechanical Split Star, the Deep Net belonged to the ’Ancient Mechanism Type Four: Network Reinforcement’, the Fortress belonged to ’Ancient Mechanism Type Six: Personality Data Device’, and Cybertron was ’Ancient Mechanism Type X: Mechanical Guardian’.

It was also a bit curious about what model of host was sent to this planet.

Soon, Lord Celestis sensed something, rocketed into the sky, and quickly arrived before a Giant Pit. This Giant Pit was located in the Arctic of this planet. Heavy snowflakes flew, icebergs collided, ice currents mixed with water flows, turning into torrents that drowned the planet.

Even Lord Celestis’s Spark protection cabin was disturbed, mechanical operation efficiency dropped by 20%, and a thick layer of frost wrapped the surface of its mechanical body.

Yet in such an environment, zombies were still wandering unconsciously.

Their joints were covered with a thick layer of ice debris, rooting into the flesh. The skin surface was cleaved into fragmented flesh by the harsh cold wind.

In Lord Celestis’s Electronic Eye flashed a hint of confusion. It couldn’t quite understand, even anti-cold machines couldn’t operate in such an environment, so how were these planet creatures’ human mechanisms functioning?

Flying close to the ground along this Giant Pit, soon, besides this Giant Pit, more than ten rectangular Giant Pits were confirmed, their depths unfathomable.

And Lord Celestis finally confirmed what these Giant Pits were.

Factories, Alien Factories!

Ancient Mechanism Type 11: Alien Factory Type

Within Ancient Mechanical Civilization, a rare ’species production type’ host.

And the essence of so-called ’Alien Factory’ is to reconstruct the planet’s creatures in the form of Mechanical Bodies.

In this way, it would enhance the diversity of Mechanical Species in the Mechanical Realm.

But the host system sent to the Cyber Test Field must not be so simple.

What exactly does it want to produce?

Could it be that the billions of zombies on this planet were all produced by this ’factory’?

With such questions in mind, Lord Celestis stepped into one of the Giant Pits step by step.

Although the Planet Host had withdrawn, it could vaguely sense a massive Energy Field launching device within this Giant Pit.
