Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 352: Chapter 124: Drug Trials

In fact, from Daisila’s perspective, the other party had no need to be so troubled.

The reason was simple: regardless of what decision the Sub-human Continent ultimately made, it wasn’t up to their small family to decide.

As a matter of fact, returning to the family, aside from resolving past grievances, was largely to avoid the moral chip implantation.

Compared to the family, she was more concerned about her hunter partners.

’I wonder if the boss received the message I sent him.’

Daisila took a deep breath and closed her eyes once more. This time, she felt like she had turned into a giant mechanical spider, wandering through the urban jungle.

...

At the Human Experimentation Center, Gao Gong finally completed the editing of the last alien genetic fragment. At this moment, these hundreds of genetic fragments were stored in different petri dishes, and each ”glass sphere” had a different environment: some were horrifically radioactive, some had temperatures over ten thousand degrees, some were in the ”thick oxygen era,” and others were in special microbial environments.

In short, these alien genetic fragments were growing rapidly. Even the slowest-growing ”Venusian Fragment” would complete recombination in a week.

”Little A?”

”Little A is here.”

”Help me extract all drug data from Life Industry.”

”Understood.”

’Yuanyuan.’

’Brother.’

’I need you to do me a favor and simulate the neural circuit of the chip implantation.’

’Okay.’

Gao Gong nodded, then picked up a still unexpired ’Intelligence Enhancing Medicine’ and swallowed it.

[You took ’Emosi Wisdom Medicine’, Intelligence +1, Neural Response Speed +10%, Duration: 20 minutes]

[Consuming a large amount of this medicine may produce certain side effects, such as lack of coordination between hands and feet, facial control issues, etc. Please consume cautiously]

”No wonder my brain feels clearer, no wonder it’s a bestseller.”

The next moment, a large neural model appeared in his view, reflecting all of Gao Gong’s neural reaction changes.

It was like a blue sky.

’Brother’s nerves are really pretty,’ Gao Yuanyuan giggled.

’Why do I feel like you’re insulting me?’

The next moment, Gao Gong took out a moral chip, and a socket automatically appeared at his temple, into which he inserted the chip.

’Clear sky’ instantly turned into ’raging clouds’.

[The effects of the medicine have been sealed by the moral chip, additional state canceled]

”Little A, help me record the changes in the neural circuits.”

”Yes, Master, recording is in progress, recording complete.”

Gao Gong nodded, removed the chip, and then took out another ’Mental Stabilizing Medicine’, which should more accurately be called ’Psychological Unstable Medicine’.

[You took ’Stephen’s Spirit Medicine’, your Intelligence +1, Perception +1, Duration: 30H, Additional State: Personality Split]

Personality Split: Your moral desires turn into criminal thoughts, your sense of intimacy turns into a sense of alienation, your self-awareness turns into self-denial.

Instantly, Gao Gong experienced the potency of this medicine.

He seemed to lose his love for rich ladies, his sincerity for graphic novels, and his talent for second creations.

What’s so special about rich ladies, just because they have money, as if others don’t, just because they have good figures, as if I don’t, just because they seek excitement, why do I always have to be underneath?

Gao Gong was startled by these thoughts that suddenly emerged.

He quickly took another pill to ease himself.

The next moment, his personality thoughts reversed 180 degrees, desperately wanting to strip himself naked and sell himself to anyone.

Damn, the effects of this medicine are really intense!

Shocked, Gao Gong hastily inserted the ’moral chip’ once more.

At that moment, Gao Gong entered Wise Man’s Time, scoffing at his recent thoughts.

Pathetic, can’t even tolerate this, how disappointing.

The moral chip even provides Wise Man’s Time for free!

”Master, recording completed once again.”

”Hmm.”

Among the blueprints Gao Gong had obtained, there was one called [Artificially Cultivated Body: Medicine Seed People].

This was a special type of clone capable of producing strong medicinal reactions, where a normal person’s reaction to drugs is 1, theirs could be tenfold.

Life Science’s pharmacists can adjust the composition of drugs based on the clone’s reactions.

This was a major killing weapon in life science.

However, if Medicine Seed People are at 10, then Gao Gong’s reaction is 1000.

He could even pinpoint changes in every cell.

Such a person should no longer be called a ’seed person’, but a ’stallion’.

And at this moment, this stallion named Gao Gong was verifying not the drugs, but the threshold of the moral chip.

Every chip had its limit, and once it was reached, he’d know how to deal with it.

Of course, most people would go insane before they detected its limit.

The fact that drug developers went bankrupt without cracking the chip proved the moral chip’s power.

But this only applied to ordinary people.

Not to someone like Gao Gong, whose personality was already in the negative double digits.

After taking over a hundred different drugs, Gao Gong could clearly feel a gap in the moral chip.

”Little A!”

”Little A understands!”

Half an hour later, on the holographic projection, countless complex neural circuits were changing.

”Little A discovered that when the effects of thirty different drugs resonate, the moral chip can no longer keep up with your integrity changes, Master.”

”Are you insulting me?”

”Absolutely not, I’m praising you. Not just anyone can come up with as many perverted thoughts as you.”

Little A’s holographic projection morphed a big white leg, resting it on Gao Gong’s thigh.

Alright, your legs are fair. Whatever you say makes sense.

”But the problem is, after thirty types of drug resonance, you’re fine, but the average person’s body would most likely end up like this.”

In the holographic projection, a human body bulged up slowly with the injection of various drugs, and after the final one, exploded into a mosaic.

”How about you find a live person to try it on?”

”Uh, never mind.”

Gao Gong is a masseur, not an artist, and doesn’t understand ’explosion as art’.

”So, the key is to find a way to minimize drug consumption while achieving the effect of breaking through the chip threshold, right?”

”That’s right.”

”Then this is manageable.”

”Master, this operation requires a lot of human experimentation.”

”It’s fine; there’s a bunch of lovely little creatures that will come and help for free.”

...

”Please visit again next time.”

On Hanging Street, when the ’Electronic Maze’ disappeared, a group of players stumbled out of the entrance, and the sky had already turned dark.

Which meant they had been in the maze for a whole day.

After a long silence, a player gritted their teeth and said,

”I feel like we encountered a bug! I’m going to complain to customer service!”

Lingling Water rolled her eyes and said, ”This is the Data Maze inside Cyber Space, only no one expected it to be replicated in reality.”

”The opponent’s coding skills are too strong; I couldn’t crack it, which made everyone stuck there for a day,” Master of Fishing looked very guilty.

”It’s okay; compared to me killing a chicken and being chased eight hundred times for it, this is already pretty good.”

”That’s right, at least we understand one thing, not every NPC’s house can be barged into freely.”

”And it’s not without benefits—” Baozi suddenly said.

He shared the task prompt with the others.

[You’ve received a temporary task—Moral Dilemma]

[Task: Moral Dilemma]

Difficulty: None

Task Briefing: Morality is self-regulation, not regulating others. Mr. G has already begun working on cracking the chip, and he needs a bunch of assistants.

Task Objective: Please arrive at the Human Experimentation Center as soon as possible and follow Mr. G’s instructions.

Task Reward: Experience +100, clues to the expansion ’Moral Curse’.

”An expansion pack?!”

”So it’s an expansion!!”

”So this game has an expansion pack!?”

The players who were yelling about quitting the game before suddenly lit up with excitement.

If there’s an expansion pack, you could have said so earlier; if you didn’t, how would we know?

...

”Oh, my naive player beans, you believe any reason I make up? Back in the day, I was just as innocent as you, and now I’m an old schemer.” Gao Gong shook his head, walking into another research center of Life Science ’Neural Center’.

Inside, there was also a bunch of advanced neural research equipment.

Dong Gang was like a happy little bird, joyfully playing inside.

”Professor Dong, how’s the research I asked you to do coming along?”

”Boss! I was just looking for you!” Once entering his research domain, Dong Gang perked up full of energy.

”I’ve come up with some research plans, but I need some advanced cells as research subjects to determine the details.”

”No problem.”

Gao Gong, if anything, had cells to spare.

And the subject Gao Gong asked him to research was— the seamless switch between the central nervous system and the human neural system.

Transformation, this type of thing, the head is obviously the first to change.

Combat transformation will be the research direction in the coming period.

Cracking it would give the Hunter a Tier 2 Profession after reaching level 30.

”Boss.”

”Hmm?”

”After Life Industry’s bankruptcy, a huge data debt was left.”

”Don’t worry, it’s nothing major.”

...

Tonight, Nightless City was drizzling again.

A woman dressed in a suit hurried through the alleyway.

This woman had a neat short haircut, and while her appearance was not attractive, her presence was imposing, especially a pair of eyes, as sharp as an eagle’s; her chin was adorned with a row of metal studs.

However, her expression seemed a bit tense.

Upon seeing a silhouette in the alleyway, she instantly turned in another direction without saying a word.

However, two more silhouettes appeared from the front.

The woman changed direction once more.

But this time, luck wasn’t on her side; her ankle twisted, and she fell directly to the ground.

The silhouettes behind approached closer.

A mocking voice was heard.

”Who would’ve thought, the famous workplace Female Demon Miss Qin would end up being hunted by a debt collection company.”

”Jarvis?”

”Let’s cut to the chase; there’s a job, are you interested?”
