Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Gao Gong didn’t rush up to snatch the credit, mainly because with his current state, forcibly attempting to take the credit could very well result in being taken down himself.

At that point, he would only be reduced to a Thought Box, receiving paper money from the rich ladies only during festivals.

”Tsk tsk, but this guy is really fierce, worthy of being a Tier 2 character, the leader of the Interstellar Warriors, probably Level 40 by now.”

Gao Gong walked down from the stairs, looking at the pitifully dead Michael Star People. In fact, if the Thought Box in the opponent’s brain hadn’t been destroyed, it would not have been so easy to die.

After all, in the vast cosmic surface, if interstellar life forms don’t have strong survival abilities, they cannot survive.

Gao Gong walked up to Gaia, who was looking at Professor Han being dragged over by the Red Liquid. She stretched out her palm, and two halves of the body floated up. Simultaneously, a large amount of biological materials was absorbed, splitting into molecules; the cross-sections of the wounds were absorbing bionic molecules, intertwining with each other.

Soon, a complete Professor Han was pieced together and he opened his eyes at the same time.

”Professor, are you still alive?”

”I...” Professor Han held his head, and for a moment, countless fragments of memories flooded in, causing his head to feel like it was splitting.

After a long while, Professor Han said hoarsely, ”Was I just being controlled?”

”Yes.”

Gao Gong pulled out the Thought Box and tossed it over, ”Perhaps it can solve your problem.”

Professor Han obviously knew what this thing was; he held it and staggered away, hoping that old guy wouldn’t have a mental breakdown. After all, anyone would feel depressed for a while knowing they were just someone’s clone, still a Bionic Man.

Especially for an old fellow like him from the Civilization Era, with relatively normal ethical views.

”Anyway, the body is no longer of use, and you wouldn’t mind helping me collect a corpse, right?” Gao Gong chuckled, ”That eyeball is really nice, and so is that mechanical blood, it’s great, none of it was damaged.”

Gaia had a thought, and in the next moment, the shattered glass in the air reassembled into a glass tube, while the black-golden blood flowed from the opponent’s wound directly into the glass tube.

And the eyeball from the Michael Star People’s brow was also taken down.

[You’ve obtained the Bloodline Item ’Black Prince King’s Blood’]

[You’ve obtained the Bloodline Item ’Michael’s Eye of Truth’]

Black Prince King’s Blood (Top-level): The highest technological product of the empire, mixed with bionic technology, nanotechnology, bio-fusion technology, biotechnology, mechanical sensing, and twenty-five other cutting-edge technologies. Created, the perfectly matched ’Emperor’s Machine Body’ mechanical blood, implanted can substantially enhance mechanosensitivity

As for that alien eyeball, it looked like a pitch-black glass ball, weighing twice as much as a normal glass ball.

Michael’s Eye of Truth (Tier 2 Bloodline): The birthplace of Michael Star People is a gaseous planet, the mist covering the planet interfered with their perception. To survive, they had to evolve a visual organ capable of penetrating the chaotic mist.

Tsk tsk, both are good stuff.

Just these two made Gao Gong feel the trip was worth it.

Mechanical Split Star isn’t without aliens, but they’re mostly concentrated in Cloud City. Gao Gong thought he had to wait until later to get alien organs, but didn’t expect the Research Institute to give him a surprise.

The ’Beast Tide’ created by Gaia was slowly receding, and these Mechanical Beast troops retreated in unison, only that Super Mechanical Ape seemed to recognize him, glaring viciously at Gao Gong.

”What are your plans next? With the use of the ’Radiation Annihilation Agent’, the ecosystem of the Oasis will inevitably suffer irreversible damage. If you can’t fill their stomachs, they will surely revolt against you.”

Gaia glanced at Gao Gong, and he didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he actually read a hint of resentment from her gaze.

”I do have a good place to go, not sure if you’d like to come along?”

”Where to?”

”Can’t be explained in just a couple of sentences, see for yourself.”

Gaia’s arm transformed into a transparent tentacle and intertwined with Gao Gong’s tentacle, light points flickering.

A vast and broken military architecture group, visibly polluted energy areas, and even more dramatically mutated Radiation Beasts.

Soon, Gaia retracted her tentacle, which then transformed back into a palm, thoughtfully.

”That indeed is a good place.”

Gao Gong shrugged, what he had informed the other party of was the heart of the Desolate Desert among the six great deserts, indeed the heart of the Desolate Desert.

This place was once the core of the battlefield on this continent, belonging to the radiation zone within the radiation zone, and the future headquarters of the Beast God General.

Wastelands

It’s not a Metropolitan Area, yet the radiation intensity is no less than that of the Radiation Circle, and in some areas, even the Radiation Beasts entering would be heavily infected by radiation.

Gao Gong pondered for a long time before deciding to relocate the New Oasis there for the reason that, after the Metropolitan Areas were uprooted one by one, it was the only place capable of producing biological materials.

With the Metropolitan Areas gone, he had to find a map for players to farm monsters.

Moreover, the Desolate Desert is quite close to the Blue Desert.

Ancient battlefield, coastal area, haven’t two monster-producing areas emerged?

...

Gao Gong didn’t plan to leave here immediately but instead notified Iron Hide to bring people over to move the goods, as there were a large number of valuable bionic devices and experimental instruments here.

Meanwhile, Gaia manipulated her massive spiritual power to rectify the damage caused by the battle, with massive debris flying along a line to outside the Research Institute.

As for these dangerous bionic experimental products, Gaia resealed them into different laboratories, and at this moment, the laboratory doors were clanging loudly.

It is worth mentioning that after realizing he was a bionic man, Professor Han was much calmer than expected, with an added sense of ease between his brows.

The genuine Professor Han’s ventriloquism skills are indeed better than imagined.

As the last area was cleared, the three returned to the underground laboratory. A large number of Michael Star People’s corpses were collected again and piled up. These are precious experimental materials.

Bionics doesn’t just imitate the intelligent species of this planet; Professor Han is quite interested in imitating aliens.

”Luckily, the main computer of the research institute wasn’t damaged.”

Professor Han skillfully opened the underground research institute’s projection computer, and sure enough, all the previously missing data was there.

[You read the ’Project Four’ secret data, and [Exchange Bionics] has been upgraded to Level 1]

[You read the ’Project Four’ secret data, and [Exchange Bionics] has been upgraded to Level 2]

...

[You read the ’Project Four’ secret data, and [Exchange Bionics] has been upgraded to Level 10 max]

...

[You read the ’Project Five’ secret data, and [Eco-Bionics] has been upgraded to Level 10 max]

...

[You read the ’Project Six’ secret data, and [Energy Bionics] has been upgraded to Level 10 max]

Including the previously acquired ’Brain Bionics’ and ’Life Bionics,’ there are a total of five professional knowledge areas in the research institute.

Only the project data for ’Network Bionics,’ ’Molecular Bionics,’ and ’Evolutionary Bionics’ were taken away by the Bionic Black Prince, whereabouts unknown.

And the familiar system prompt sound rang out.

[You obtained the ’Bionic Technology’ professional knowledge chain, with five full-level professional knowledge areas, progress over halfway]

[You obtained the ’Prosthetic Technology’ professional knowledge chain, with five full-level professional knowledge areas, progress over halfway]

[You obtained the ’Biotechnology’ professional knowledge chain, with five full-level professional knowledge areas, progress over halfway]

[As these three knowledge chains belong to the same civilization system, you unlock the Level 2 Civilization System, Transformer Civilization]

Transformer Civilization: This civilization pursues mechanical power, abandoning the lineage of native species to attain true strength. While others scorn them for forsaking tradition, they believe abandoning the past brings rebirth.

[In the Transformer Civilization, knowledge fusion experience cost reduced by 50%]

[In the Transformer Civilization, professional knowledge chain fusion experience cost reduced by 30%]

[This civilization belongs to one of the Half-Mechanical Civilizations]

Half-Mechanical Civilization: A mechanized society, embracing transformation, somewhat reducing the chances of a mechanical revolution. Robots and modified humans coexist, with no racial purity, but life forms must undergo mechanical transformation; to become high-level citizens, further transformation is required. Strong in troop deployment, mainstream thought pursues individual martial prowess, socially competitive and tends to expand externally.

[Civilization panel activated, gather four professional knowledge chains to unlock ’Civilization Traits’]

[Civilization panel activated, gather all professional knowledge chains to unlock ’Civilization Knowledge’]

With the sound of ’beep beep beep,’ Gao Gong discovered that besides the personal panel, mission panel, and alliance panel, there was a fourth panel, the Civilization System Panel.

Civilization: Transformer Civilization

Civilization Knowledge: Not Unlocked

Civilization Traits: Not Unlocked

Civilization Architecture: None

Professional Knowledge Chain: ’Mechanical Life’ (grey), ’Synthetic Gene Chain’ (grey), ’Bionic Technology,’ ’Reproduction Technology’ (grey), ’Biotechnology,’ ’Prosthetic Technology’

Most of the panel is greyed out, and only the 15 professional knowledge areas Gao Gong obtained are highlighted, but this doesn’t even cover one-fifth of the area.

In his past life, as a player of one of the few faction-style sects, Gao Gong deeply understood the benefits of this civilization panel.

Not to mention, those grey professional knowledge areas and replaceable options saved him a lot of effort. Trial and error for each one would cost a hundredfold.

Not to mention the halved gambling blueprint experience costs.

Gao Gong’s mood became quite good.

Professor Han gave him a curious look and said, ”Did you guess what I was thinking?”

”Uh, what are you thinking?”

”I found a bionic transformation plan suitable for you.”

Gao Gong’s spirits lifted at this good news.
