Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 620: Chapter 151: Primal Construct

The Electronic Brain Plan is not complete, and the time between virtual space and reality is different.

The time from when he was dragged into the corporate firewall and then ’born’ by the Scorpion seemed long, but actually only passed a second or two.

Looking up, Gao Gong could even see the dust and gravel falling from the upper level.

And not far from him lay the unconscious Black Python, Scorpion, Mr. Brainstem, and others.

Gao Gong shook his head.

His plan was to deal with the opponents in the virtual space, not return to reality.

”However, it’s not entirely a bad thing.”

He helped everyone up, left them in a safe place, and leisurely walked toward the next level alone.

The next level was already close to the core area of the Mechanical Main Brain, filled with numerous metal pipelines used for deploying troops, similar to other mechanical cities, Hive City had its own characteristics, with walls engraved with human faces.

As he walked by, the eyes on these faces slowly rotated, staring at him with an indescribable gaze.

”Simulating a hive society is truly bold; if done poorly, it could create something extremely disgusting.”

Each technological system has its advantages and disadvantages.

The same goes for the social structure.

In a ’hive society’ like this, if careless, it can give birth to ’information devils’, entities not less dangerous than actual ’devils’.

Hell and heaven, in certain civilized societies, can indeed exist.

But clearly, Hive City’s social transformation hasn’t reached that level yet.

Through the ’Prey Mark’, Gao Gong could see that Dou had already sneaked to the sixth level, while this Mechanical Main Brain had only fewer than ten levels.

After being prepared, it was not easy to drag him back into virtual space.

Golden radiance flashed by, and all the original defensive mechanisms crashed, starting to burn black smoke.

Gao Gong leisurely walked into the next level.

In fact, it was not difficult to catch the other side, as he could perform instant teleportation.

However, capturing Dou was easy; trying to pry the ’Mechanical Brain’ Authority from his mouth was very difficult.

If not done well, he might even be tricked by the other side.

Only by breaking through the other side from the virtual level can all resistance be completely dismantled.

Amid various thoughts, Gao Gong descended another level.

This time, however, there was a live person blocking the way.

”I can only say, although it was founded by geniuses, geniuses aren’t omnipotent.

Some places are well done, while others are very neglected.

For example, the most direct issue, corporate security, not only lacks its proprietary security technology but the head of the security department happens to be a mercenary.”

Gao Gong looked at Single God in front of him and smiled:

”I’m not wrong, am I, friend.”

Single God frowned while looking at the other side; for some reason, since the first glance at the other side, he had a very peculiar feeling, somewhat akin to kindred, yet there was an indescribable subtlety.

”Someone of your level must be backed by powerful human body transformation technology, where exactly are you from?”

”Fight me; if you survive, I’ll tell you!” Single God said deeply.

”Interesting.”

Almost as soon as he spoke, at least half of the gears on Single God’s body started spinning wildly, so fast it seemed to form a man-made void, even the air becoming viscous.

In the next moment, his arm transformed into a black shadow, where within countless large and small circles intertwined, every circle friction created an urgent sonic boom, upgrading into a sound wave; for a moment, it seemed like hundreds of air blades were slicing through.

This is a large-scale AOE+slicing technique.

Faced with such an attack, sparks flickered at Gao Gong’s ankle, his foot pressed hard, increasing speed by 300%, entering Bullet Time.

This was the superpower brought by the military-grade landing gear.

The black shadow flashed by.

The superalloy-constructed floor and all furnishings, workstations, and artificial machinery were split in half, the ground and ceiling cut into densely packed, nearly half-meter-deep cracks.

When Gao Gong’s figure appeared again, it was on the ceiling, his upper body twisted to an extent beyond human limits, dodging dense slashes, with memory alloy spine granting not only automatic repair capability but also a certain degree of transformation ability.

Inverted on the ceiling, Gao Gong’s right hand flung down sharply, and suddenly, thousands of single molecule lines rained densely down, piercing through all they touched as if a downpour rushed through the confined space.

Single God’s reaction was also very fast, with rapid protruding and splitting gears, a gear splitting into ten circular blades turning him into a humanoid cutting machine, while the tough single molecule lines wrapped around him, shattered with tactical movements.

Some negative states hadn’t even been applied yet before being shaken off.

His massive metal arm reached out fiercely, with metal knuckles ejecting into three sections, turning the large hand into a dustpan-like grasp, plucking a bunch of molecular lines, and in an instant, Gao Gong felt immense force pulling him hard.

And facing the pulled-in Gao Gong, Single God hunched, as his mechanical jawbone on the chin doubled in size, the mouth glowing intensely, gathering numerous energy particles.

Oh damn, such strong oral skill, self-loaded Energy Cannon, isn’t it Mother City technology!

With one strike, Gao Gong’s blood volume would drop at least by half.

However, during the dragging process, the flesh on Gao Gong’s left arm quickly retracted, revealing the elegantly lined bionic mechanical arm, akin to the Winter Soldier version, but unlike him, with more complex circuitry on the exterior.

Facing the mouth cannon, the left palm decomposed automatically, revealing a palm hole, grasping the energy beam as it brightened to its limit.

The beam seemed to shatter against the mirror.

Unexpectedly, this destructive attack against most mechanical defenses seemed consumed upon grappling, with the palm hole frenziedly absorbing the energy beam, as every circuit on the arm illuminated.

Centered on the newly-installed X-Type Reactor, the human energy circuits all lighted up, and the newly installed weapon module commenced functioning.

The flesh on Gao Gong’s body cracked open again, revealing large and small energy ray apertures, grinning at the opponent.

”Return it to you!”

Hundreds of particle beams shot from various parts of the body, burning the opponent into a huge furnace; simultaneously, Gao Gong’s right hand swiftly pulled and twisted, the previously dispersed single molecule lines tightly entwined again, forming a silver-white long spear, mechanical arsenal transformation mixed with spear force combined into a gun fighting skill (melee), aggressively piercing the opponent’s brow, the fierce impact sent the opponent flying dozens of meters away.

”The effect synergy is good.”

After Bionic A destroyed almost all equipment, the new equipment effects left him satisfied.

Gone was the V-Type Carbon Atom Reactor, replaced with the more efficient, vigorous X-Type.

Gone was the Devil Jet, replaced with full module energy beams.

Gone was the Helium Atom Freezing Hand-held Cannon, replaced with the Energy Block Arm.

Perhaps individually, it was a bit weaker than before.

But in control, crowd attack, and defense, it significantly strengthened.

Without a doubt, this was the advantage brought by faction development.

Or, putting it another way, the advantage of backing a Rich Lady.

Without faction backing, Rich Lady’s protection, relying solely on himself, when would he have saved up to assemble this set of advanced equipment?

What was he supposed to do, be a 996 grind worker like the opponent?

Furthermore, Gao Gong finally figured something out.

Why the opponent hadn’t installed a combat chip.

He personally hadn’t installed one because he disdain the planet’s chip technology.

While auxiliary chips were okay, the core combat chip, installing was easy, but removing it was quite troublesome.

As for the opponent, there was only one reason—

He had a stronger combat system.

Amid the flames, wheels split apart, the figure swelled to five meters, the human form completely vanished, replaced by twisted, mutated mechanical construct.

Despite Gao Gong knocking down a considerable portion of health, the aura burst forth even stronger than before.

”Good god!”

”I now understand why you didn’t install a chip.”

”Turns out, you’ve been a construct all along.”

”An original phase construct.”

Watching the opponent break down, digest the fragmented gears on himself, and form new gear weapons.

Gao Gong showed a strange smile.

Silver flowers blossomed all over the body.

Each spinal joint grew silver-white circular structures.

Fingertips extended to the ground.

Plus, the terrifying Death God curved blades, squeezing out segment by segment from the back.

”Fortunately, I am too!”
