Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 556: Chapter 89: Planet Main Quest—Unknown Relic

’Hey, kid, is it done yet?’

’The signal is too bad. Why did such a vast thunderstorm cloud suddenly appear? Was it you who caused it?’

’Is the network connected? Is it connected on your side?’

The moment the network went down, even a Big Data Monster would be blind. So, when the rain finally cleared, Eliza’s questions felt like the Tang Monk’s sermon, echoing in waves into my brain.

”Alright, stop whining. With me on the job, how could it not be solved.”

Gao Gong patted the back of his head, stabilizing the signal station. At this point, Eliza’s holographic projection flickered from his electronic eye, clicking her tongue at the ’Prototype of the No. 5 Destruction Form’ in front of him.

”So this is the ’Purple Energy Strings,’ how come it looks so much like a goat?”

In the sky above the island’s remnants, an ’energy creature’ outlined by purple lines was sealed in a thick layer of ice, showing an anthropomorphic distressed expression, and incredibly, this ’energy creature’ was goat-shaped.

”In the punk revolution era, wasn’t a goat a symbol of the devil?”

”Is there such a saying?” Eliza wondered.

”Oh, maybe I got it wrong.”

Gao Gong replied nonchalantly, keeping his eyes on the system panel.

[Your organism’s blood volume has broken through ten thousand points, reaching 11227 points, rewarding you with one lottery opportunity]

[Your mechanical body’s blood volume has broken through ten thousand points, reaching 12127 points, rewarding you with one lottery opportunity]

[Your agility has surpassed two hundred points, reaching 203 points, rewarding you with a basic enhancement, choose your enhancement type: wrist/foot/knee]

Which posture can increase endurance?

Gao Gong pondered for a while and nodded, decisively choosing the wrist.

[You have obtained the talent ’Foot Technician,’ when you use your legs to attack, Attack Power +10%]

For a moment, various kicking techniques, leg skills, and footwork poured into his mind, many of which were quite valuable in ’mobile warfare’.

’It’s not easy; finally, both blood volumes have broken through ten thousand.’

Gao Gong glanced at the two blood bars with some sentiment. Whether player or NPC, when breaking through Tier 2, there’s a period of explosive blood volume increase, for a simple reason: originally, 1 attribute point increased blood volume by 5 points, but at Tier 2, it becomes 50 points, and a 1% transformation rate that used to add 100 blood points now increases by 500 at Tier 2.

Yet, at level 30, with naked blood volumes breaking through ten thousand, and both bars at that, it was an unimaginable number in the last lifetime, and to call it a blood cow would not be an exaggeration. With levels rising, the gap between him and the players would only grow larger.

”What do you plan to do then, lock it up first?”

Eliza’s words drew Gao Gong’s attention away from the system panel to the ’Destruction Form.’ The ’Purple Goat’ sealed in ice looked pathetically at Gao Gong with big, pitiful eyes.

Gao, however, merely curled his lips and said: ”An energy body with spatial attributes, not to mention unsealing it; give it two minutes, and it might just run off.”

The ’Purple Goat’ also realized it was in big trouble, its whole body flickering with purple light, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, but Gao Gong’s earlier move unmistakably heavily injured it. Every time the ’Purple Line’ within its body began to extend and produced the ’Space Collapse Effect,’ it would directly break apart.

Once broken, space transfer naturally became out of the question.

Normally, such short-term heavy injuries wouldn’t have much effect on a destruction-level energy body. After all, for such entities, as long as they aren’t killed, their recovery speed is terrifying.

If you can’t kill me, what can you do to me?

However, next to it was exactly a human form carrier with a 100% adaptation to ’Destructive Energy,’ which was fatal.

Gao Gong extended his hand, as his arm moved, white marks appeared in the air. Seeing these ’white marks,’ the previously composed ’Purple Goat’ immediately became agitated.

This was the so-called ’Space Destruction Effect.’

Space Destruction: One of the thirteen destruction special effects, able to create a slight spatial solidification trait when attacking.

Don’t underestimate this slight trait; anything with ’space’ in its name is absolutely top-notch.

Gao Gong’s arm passed through the ultra-low temperature ice he had created, causing just ripples. When he grasped the ’Purple Goat,’ the whole goat disintegrated, turning into a series of subtle spatial lines that drilled into Gao Gong’s body through his palm.

A feeling beyond words surfaced in Gao Gong’s senses, extraordinarily mysterious, as if he had turned into a mesh of tiny lines with a human form, surrounded by fragile mirrors reflecting his image, allowing him to connect across dimensions with a thought.

Besides, there was a terrifying influx of energy; Gao Gong felt as if he were soaking in a comfortable swimming pool, the surrounding spatial energy turned into warm, pleasant bathwater, inexhaustible and boundless.

’Beep beep—’

This was the sound of the Carbon Atom Reactor filling up.

The system prompt sound rang again—

[Fusion of ’Purple Energy Strings’ successful, you have officially become the ’No. 5 Destruction Form’]

A tattoo of a purple goat appeared on Gao Gong’s upper body, with fierce claws and teeth, particularly its two monstrous horns, like sharp drills burning with devil flames.

[You have obtained the Advanced Energy Pool ’Purple String Space,’ 100,000/100,000]

[You have obtained the ability ’Space Travel’]

[You have obtained ’Perception of Destruction,’ allowing you to sense surrounding Destruction Forms within 100km radius]

[You have obtained Destruction Technique ’String Fire,’ a way to utilize polarized energy]

[Planetary main quest—’Unknown Evolution Relic’ officially activated]

[Planet task ’Human Form Destruction Vehicle’ completed, Planet Reputation +2, Historical Line Change +7%]

’Relic...Revolution!?’

Gao Gong was stunned, of all the possibilities he considered for the thirteen types of Destruction Forms, he never imagined it would be a relic.

A real relic!?

Gao Gong stared hard at the system panel, staring for quite some time, finally confirming he did not read it wrong.

But how could this be?

It’s known that above Civilization Architecture, there exists a special kind called Giant Structure, understood as a cosmic-level engineering.

This level of engineering, over a hundred Ascension Civilizations may not bring about even one, and even during his previous peak, Gao Gong spent countless Rich Ladies’ small fortunes to build just one, called ’Cosmic Fantasy Land,’ which was also the base of his Virtual Realm.

But above ’Giant Structure,’ there exists another entity called ’Relic.’

In his previous life, he never witnessed this item, only heard from other Civilization Leaders that this thing is akin to a cosmic rule—an artificial cosmic rule.

What the hell is this, fooling ghosts?

Gao Gong never believed; not only had he not seen it, but no other players ever mentioned it until the three Celestial Calamities descended, wiping out millions of civilizations with a mere gesture.

Only civilizations possessing relics could survive under the attack of the calamities, and that was when he realized this game actually has ’cheat-like’ features.
