Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 1012: Chapter 118: Audit 4

”As everyone knows, because stars are round, satellites are round, and planets are round, most intelligent species, rising from ignorance, are attracted to ’roundness’. They express a special fondness for round-shaped organs: bigger is better, round is beautiful.”

”However, some niche carbon-based creatures are different, such as hydrogen-enriched species, nitrogen-enriched species, and metal enrichment species. Due to the elemental composition within their bodies, they develop special predilections.”

”Let me give a simple example: fluid life forms. Their preference isn’t for roundness, or any fixed structure, but for more complex fluids. I generally refer to them as the lewd lovers.”

”And species like the Galen people, who are metal enrichment species, considering the high gravity of their home planet, they must ensure no protrusions on their body surface for survival. Because once they have curves, causing a large amount of metal elements to gather at one spot, it could risk body disintegration.”

”Moreover, as their primary way of sustenance is by absorbing metal elements from the earth, they lack even the basic reverence for mammary organs.”

”So, according to my logical analysis, although the Galen people are also a two-gender species, they should be fond of flat chests.”

Gao Gong’s analysis made the surrounding players realize suddenly, and their gazes towards the three advanced NPCs carried a hint of pity.

Of all things to like, they actually prefer flat chests.

How low-class!

”...”

The Galen individuals on one side couldn’t hold it anymore, glaring at Gao Gong with a face full of black lines.

This group of interstellar mercenaries dares to say anything!

The leading Galen person walked out from the cabin, pondered for a while, and said, ”Do you have many biologically special devices on your starship?”

Whether it’s the Nest Repairer or the Biological Spore Laboratory, even from the perspective of Level 3 civilization members, they seem pretty impressive.

That biotechnology could be operated this way.

”Being a mercenary, you always run into many unexpected situations, so it’s good to be prepared,” Gao Gong chuckled slyly, in the special oily tone of an interstellar mercenary.

”But we also have many high-power mechanical weapons.”

”Well, that’s unavoidable. Traveling in interstellar space, you always run into some star thieves who don’t know what’s good for them. Energy weapons can calm them down. If you can sell a few Galen Defense Ships to me, maybe I’ll feel safer.”

The leading Galen person said nothing.

The other two showed dissatisfied expressions.

The Galen Republic is a military regime, repelling individuality, and Gao Gong’s attitude instinctively repulsed them.

The leading Galen person’s eyes flashed slightly, suddenly saying:

”Since your biotechnology is so advanced, I suppose your ’Carbon Fusion’ is also developed to a significant depth. Are you interested in sparring?”

”Here, now?” Gao Gong said in surprise.

”I believe you won’t refuse,” the Galen person stated firmly.

...

In the cosmic vacuum, two figures stood 3000 meters apart.

For Tier 3 powerhouses, this distance is nothing but face-to-face.

”By the way, my name is Kiliman, one of the Metal Executors of the Galen Republic.”

Level 82 carbon-based warrior, even in the Galen Republic, considered a city soldier king, advanced cannon fodder tier.

But what is a ’Metal Executor’? Gao Gong had only heard of those few renowned giant fleets.

”Master Kiliman, isn’t it improper to target civilians while executing official duties?” Gao Gong humbly said.

Kiliman quietly smiled dismissively, looking down and said, ”Rest assured, I’m just bored, trying my hand.”

Gao Gong ceased speaking. Although he did not understand why the other party insisted on fighting him, he knew it would be hard to leave if he didn’t satisfy the other party.

It’s not that he feared the opponent; he feared the ’Arc Great Wall’ overhead, which counters Star Destroyers. It wouldn’t even give them a chance to enter superluminal mode, and once activated, all his previous disguises would fall apart.

Make him feel good, but not so much that he wants to die.

Flat chest lovers are so particular!

”Then I’ll show my strongest move, please enjoy it, Master Kiliman!”

Gao Gong wore a modest yet arrogant expression, which made Kiliman unable to help but sneer in his heart, yet his face remained expressionless, only nodding slightly.

Gao Gong opened his mouth, and in the next moment, a species spore was spat out, rapidly growing into a giant tree monster in the vacuum. In terms of size alone, it was nearly equal to a starship, with countless massive tree roots intertwining, reaching a crushing force of ten million catties. If it captured a spaceship, it would likely lead to immediate destruction.

This was on the same level as encountering a Nordic sea monster in the age of sail.

Many spaceship captains turned pale at this scene.

Thinking to themselves how fortunate it was that the ’Arc Great Wall’ inspection forced out every kind of riffraff; otherwise, with a ghost ship ahead and a space giant beast behind, could they still live?

The species spore continued expanding in the cosmic vacuum, finally exhibiting a form indistinguishable from a usual Sky Giant Beast.

And Kiliman, seeing this scene, silently nodded, without showing a trace of fear in his eyes.

It was clear that even within the Galen Republic, he was an individual powerhouse in the military, because as soon as Gao Gong met him, he felt a faint sense of threat from the other.

The next instant, hundreds or thousands of blood-colored tree roots smashed down from different angles, resembling a meteor shower. Countless fireballs descended from the sky, destroying everything, engulfing everything, with dense biological energy turning into blood-red radiance, flooding the area.

In the face of this, at least surface destruction-level attack, Kiliman’s expression was only slightly grave. On his body surface, loud ’creaking’ metallic friction noises emerged, and his golden form instantly expanded to a hundred meters, transforming into a giant golden figure, gripping the core of the blood glow with both hands, holding it in a standoff momentarily. Numerous golden sword beams suddenly pierced out of the blood light curtain, tearing the species spore apart alive!

...

”Major General Kiliman, why did you let them go?”

”Inspection passed, no trace of advanced mechanical bodies, and they mastered biological weapons, biological species. There’s no way they could be followers of the ’Mechanical Emperor’.”

”But their grasp of biotechnology seems to have traces of taboo.”

”You can’t expect a bunch of mercenaries not to have black market dealings. For these desperadoes, they naturally use whatever weapon works.”

Kiliman changed the topic, saying:

”Compared to these mercenaries, I’m more interested in the captured ghost ship. Based on current checks, we’ve concluded that it most likely harbors a high-dimensional organism, though it’s still unclear if it’s a Cosmic Evil God.”

Upon hearing this, the subordinate felt stirred.

”Major General, are you saying we have the possibility of cooperating with a ’Void Dweller’ in this dimensional expedition?”

Kiliman did not answer, his golden eyes calm, yet seemingly about to stir up a storm. Nobody knew what he was thinking.

...

”Interesting, carbon-based species with over 50% metal content, is your carbon base still stable.”

On the Star Destroyer, Gao Gong mused to himself, pacing silently in the corridor. As he moved, a mass of fleshy blanket revealed itself on the floor, continually drilling into Gao Gong’s body, while in open spaces, countless memory worms crawled out, entering into the void, revealing the forms of Spark Mechanism, mecha, and mechanical architecture.

Gao Gong’s organism is the first layer of concealment, while the memory worms are the second layer of concealment.

Gao Gong believed that very few could see through the first layer, and the chances of discovering the fluctuations of the memory worms were also very small.

”What’s more interesting is that the life magnet field can materialize, weaponize. It seems the rumor that the Galen Republic is only good at shipbuilding, not at enhancing individual combat power, is false.”

Gao Gong glanced at the communication device in his hand, where a series of numbers, precisely Kiliman’s interstellar communication code, were displayed.

”Of course, there’s another possibility, that this technology is still not perfected...”
