Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

The members of the Valkyrie Corps are all people with spatial talents who are disabled, and these special cells have long been extracted and implanted into the Valkyries, because the talent of the Crimson Queen made it easy to complete the replication.

So now, the Valkyries, like Gao Gong, can also teleport instantly.

In the next breath, a rift opened in the meeting room, and Valkyrie walked in carrying someone, casually placing him on the table.

The meeting room was not big, and there weren’t many people, just three: Director Du, Professor Han, and an elderly man with a rigid expression.

”I told you, don’t easily use your abilities at the experimental base,” Director Du said, frowning.

Valkyrie glanced at her without speaking, the atmosphere somewhat tense.

”Hahaha, Director Du, what do you think of my current state, does it prompt any maternal instincts in you?”

The baby Gao squeezed out a ’Crayon Shin-chan’-like smile, using its hands and feet, quickly crawled into her arms, and squirmed a bit, well, just slightly hilly.

Du Zhaodi never got angry with Gao Gong, she tucked her hair behind her ear, surprisingly skillfully picked up the baby, her mouth curving into a smile, gently swaying him.

If I asked for milk now, I wonder if I would get hit?

”Xiao Wa, come here,” Professor Han showed a slight smile, beckoning to the ignored Valkyrie, whose cold expression softened a bit, and she walked directly behind Professor Han to gently knead his shoulders.

Compared to the always-outside Gao Gong, Valkyrie was practically raised by Professor Han himself, they were as close as grandfather and granddaughter.

The other elderly man seemed indifferent to the situation, his expression cold.

This old man was called Zhou Bingtian, not very well-known, but according to Director Du, he was her former superior at the factory.

However, his joining added 50,000 alliance points to the entire ’Hunter Camp’.

He had another identity — Advisor to the Ancient Empire Royal Academy of Sciences.

This identity was something even Du Zhaodi herself was unaware of, only Professor Han managed to find out.

Let’s put it this way, before his arrival, Du Gao Technology only had five super large mechas and more than thirty conventional mechas, and his arrival directly doubled the numbers.

And more interestingly, despite Gao Gong being the ’last Crown Prince of the Empire’, the man showed no excitement upon meeting him, let alone bowing down.

Gao Gong had always wanted to chat with him, but never found the right opportunity.

Director Du played with her ’son’, while Professor Han enjoyed the ’granddaughter’s’ massage, making the atmosphere somehow subtly harmonious and joyous.

This atmosphere was interrupted by the sudden flash of two holographic projections.

”You, you’re Boss Gao?!”

In the holographic projection, Miao Miaomiao was about to greet Director Du when she saw someone squirming like a bug in her arms, rendering her dumbfounded.

Gao Gong glanced sideways, speaking with annoyance: ”What, you didn’t think I could walk away unscathed after a battle with that number one rebel, did you?”

Miao Miaomiao and the other in the holographic projection exchanged glances, simultaneously feeling a sense of relief.

To be honest, ever since the sudden appearance of Bionic A almost disrupted this experiment, Mas Sharpness’s executives had been quite alarmed.

Individual combat power in a corporate structure is nearly negligible, almost without exception.

Yet Bionic A was precisely that exception.

Corporate executives are not afraid of death, not only due to their comprehensive protection making assassination nearly impossible but even if killed on the spot, methods like genetic cloning, uploaded consciousness, and consciousness sub-bodies would suffice to grant these bigwigs an ’undying body’ similar to players.

Of course, unlike players, this ’undying body’ is subject to many limitations.

However, for this powerhouse, the corporate executives had no means at all; if A wanted, he could execute any executive, no matter how many times they resurrect, he would kill them from start to finish, even the use of ’civilization weapons’ couldn’t stop him.

There had been several executives who attempted to capture him for research, with predictably dire consequences, not to mention the people, the corporations nearly went out of business.

In recent years, his focus shifted to Mother City, maintaining a peaceful coexistence;

but even so, this person ranked among the top three in the perilous blacklist of all corporations.

So when it was heard that he reappeared and even had a duel with this Boss Gao, Miao Miaomiao was terrifyingly startled.

Only a company like Mas Sharpness, reckless in its pursuit of experiments, could collaborate with Gao Gong; any other company, even a Level 5 Corporation or a Monopoly-level Company, would have betrayed him on the spot.

Thus, upon learning the outcome that Bionic A and Gao Gong had a fierce battle and the latter walked away intact, nearly the entire upper echelons of Mas Sharpness were astir.

Their partner turned out to be this formidable?

They even specifically held a high-level meeting for this matter.

Thankfully, as it seemed now, the opponent wasn’t yet on A’s level, offering them some comfort.

But that didn’t mean they could underestimate the opponent; even their own ’forbidden experimental subject’ wouldn’t withstand A’s assaults, let alone get killed in seconds.

Nanotechnology, in a Level 2 Civilization, is absolutely a dimensional strike.

The two of them exchanged a glance, their eyes even more fervent.

Behind any powerful individual is the most cutting-edge military technology. It seems that Gao Gong’s severe injury is actually a good thing, indicating that the opponent’s technology is still immature. This suggests an opportunity for collaboration between both sides.

”And you are?”

Director Du looked at another holographic projection. This figure had a very strange physique, with a high-arched spine and drooping arms, resembling a standing dog.

And on this ’dog’ were all sorts of tubes and wires.

It seemed like a homeless cyber psychosis patient on the street.

”Allow me to introduce myself, Ms. Du. I am Doug, the head of the Mas Sharpness Human Weaponry Department.”

”I’ve come this time primarily to thank Mr. Gao for his help with our experiment, and also for one more thing: regarding the ’5th Generation Metal Heart,’ we hope to reclaim it.”

Director Du squinted slightly, saying nothing, while Gao Gong arrogantly stood up, pulling up his pants.

’So tiny!’ Miao Miaomiao thought to herself.

”Before discussing the results of this experiment, shouldn’t we discuss my losses—”

”Yes!”

The straightforward answer left Gao Gong speechless, eyeing him suspiciously. Is he really so agreeable?

Without any verbal proof, Mr. Doug bowed slightly, his attitude extremely humble.

”We on our side and your side have been partners for years, naturally, we shouldn’t let your side bear our losses. Considering we’re both emerging enterprises facing suppression from established companies, I think cooperation, especially in ’key areas,’ is inevitable.”

”We have two ’superweapon plans’ that we’d like to develop with you.”

Superweapon plans? Isn’t that what they call ’Civilization Weapons’? So generous?

Soon, they received the data on the superweapons from the other side: Superweapon Codename A and Superweapon Codename C.

Among them, Weapon C was used to stop that Mechanical Pioneer, the ’Pigment Weapon.’

Director Du and the others were still verifying the authenticity of the data, while Gao Gong had already received a system notification.

[You have obtained Level 3 Civilization Architecture [Liquid Weapons Printer], Alliance Points +40,000, your Leader Reputation +5,000]

[You have obtained Level 3 Civilization Architecture [Prosthetic Manipulator], Alliance Points +40,000, your Leader Reputation +5,000]

[Your Leader Reputation has reached 51,800, meeting the standard to unlock the ’Alliance Leader Task’]

Unlocking the ’Leader Task’ means that Gao Gong’s fourth boss template is secured.

The boss template is the biggest difference between players and NPCs, in a way, it’s the NPCs’ golden finger. As long as you have a boss template, you have the ability to crush players.

Gao Gong currently has three boss templates, or rather, two and a half templates, which are Radiation Field Mastery, Legendary Hunter, and Genetic Leader, although the Genetic Leader is only completed (2/3), still missing a part.

Among them, Radiation Field Mastery was the easiest to obtain, probably because Gao Gong’s level was too low at the time, and the task wasn’t difficult.

The Legendary Hunter was a reward for opening a new professional path, and the Genetic Leader was something he obtained only after completing a Hell-level Task and exiling Cloud City, gaining part of it.

And this current template is undoubtedly due to ’establishing a coalition.’

However, Gao Gong did not open the task, instead, he closed the system and looked at the two people with a peculiar gaze.

Unsolicited kindness is either treachery or theft. Are they here to trick me or rob me?

Doug knew clearly that if he didn’t explain, it might be detrimental to future cooperation, so he said seriously, ”Our President Ma wants to jointly develop your three ’superweapons’ with you.”

”And, at the right moment, we’d like to ask you to hunt down that Bionic A!”

”Hunt A?”

Even Du Zhaodi, who was verifying the technological data, raised her head and frowned, ”I thought our cooperation was limited to the technical level.”

It was evident she was very reluctant to have Gao Gong take risks, especially against such a formidable enemy.

”There are many types of technology, military technology is also a form,” Gao Gong gave Director Du a reassuring look, then smiled cunningly, rubbing his hands together—

”Cooperation, very well, then let’s specifically discuss the terms of the cooperation. I believe the terms on your side must be very generous.”

Looking at the expression on the other side, Gao Gong understood that with the parts from the three ’superweapons’ and his own performance, he had successfully fooled them.

He felt that his new Mechanical Body was within reach!
