Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 750: Chapter 274: New Talent (2)

As for ’Advanced Energy Sword Mastery,’ it’s also a type of output skill, specifically an energy system ’Sword Control Techniques,’ controlling energy swords. It’s somewhat similar to the weapon technology of ’Energy Solidification,’ which is crucial for developing ’Solidified Energy Weapons.’ In Gao Gong’s own faction, they can already develop ’Large Energy Weapons,’ like those configured large swords for mechas.

However, ’Energy Weapon Technology’ is quite unique; it’s easy to make them bigger, but very challenging to compress them into something smaller. To have ’light sabers’ in everyone’s hands probably won’t be possible until the faction enters Tier 3.

As the saying goes, ’When technology is insufficient, superpowers fill the gap.’ The Tier 3 skill ’Advanced Energy Sword Mastery’ conveniently allows Gao Gong to solidify ’Energy Laser,’ also enhancing the lethality in close combat.

The basic attack damage of light saber weapons is higher than ordinary energy lasers, and more dangerously, it can increase power through charging.

As for ’Information Killer,’ it was chosen by Gao Gong to compensate for the diminishing Attack Power of the Tier 2 skill - Hacker’s Gun, opting for the Tier 3 information system skill.

Its advantage over the bullet ’Source Code Killer’ is that it can directly attack the underlying network, completely obliterating the ’Cyber Killer.’

These four abilities were carefully selected by Gao Gong from tens of thousands of abilities in the Holy Brain Group, and they are all top-notch.

”Alright, you can let them go out now.”

A hint of pain flickered in Ye the Big Lolita’s eyes. If it were someone else, she would have already attacked with a Black Tide.

”Don’t feel pained; your Holy Brain Group won’t have any conflicts for quite some time. They have plenty of time to recuperate.”

Gao Gong paused, then hinted, ”And when that day truly comes, no matter how strong your subordinates are, it won’t matter.”

”Well, I should be leaving too. Although this ’Brain-in-a-Vat’ has had its Consciousness erased by us, it could possibly regenerate consciousness. You should be cautious to avoid being controlled again.”

”Also, remember what I said, as the ’Brain Infrastructure’ contractor, once you notice large-scale information mutation, it signifies a certain moment has arrived. When that time comes, don’t feel reluctant about your foundation.”

Ye the Big Lolita wanted to say more, but the man before her had already disappeared.

”This guy—”

Ye the Big Lolita mumbled, sitting alone in the vast and empty President’s office, caught in an indescribable emotion.

Happy?

She thought she would be very happy, having completed the revenge against this behemoth and becoming the final winner by trampling on its head. But after the exhilarating emotions subsided, only boredom... and a hint of loneliness was left.

...

Gao Gong had no idea what Ye the Big Lolita was thinking. He reappeared on the deck of a gigantic interstellar battleship above the radiation layer.

The Great Curved Saber didn’t resemble a saber; rather, it’s a composite of two curved sabers. The silver-white ’blade’ is 30 miles long, bright and slender, with no superfluous structures on the surface. This is also characteristic of starships, to ensure the efficiency of cosmic navigation, both the weapon systems and logistics systems are internalized.

Upon Gao Gong’s appearance, a ray of light enveloped him, and then the seamless metallic surface of the ’Great Curved Saber’ parted, absorbing him within. Countless mechanical parts flew around, various modules running in a complex melody, and Gao Gong seemed to see a skilled artist delicately adjusting their artwork.

Eventually, Gao Gong appeared in a silver-white room where Du Zhaodi was seated at the center.

Du Zhaodi rarely wore so little. Although her figure was not disappointing, she was normally very conservative. At this moment, her exposed skin was pierced with various conduits and data lines, exuding a mechanical aesthetic.

Being a Shipgirl, she didn’t need a control room; she herself is the most powerful control system.

Gao Gong was not surprised. This surgery was done by herself. He sat opposite Director Du, opened the System Panel, and absorbed four S-Level strong talents in one go. Even someone as formidable as him felt somewhat satiated. Besides superpowers and skills, these four also offered him 30 points of Power, 10 points of Agility, 200 points of Physical Strength, and 40 points of Perception.

Gao Gong opened his own Attribute Panel—

Name: Gao Gong (Biological Computer Mode)

Race: Master of Beast Mimic

S-Level Bloodline Beast Master: You are challenging the upper limits of this planet’s carbon-based species. Evolution efficiency +200%, human transformation success rate (carbon-based species) +400%, Additional Effects: Radiation Beast Transformation, Gigantification, Organ Solidification

Special Skill: S-Level Beast Tide, Emperor’s Might

Main Profession: Beast Mechanic Transformer (Tier 2 First Transformation)

Sub-Profession:

No. 4 Factory Senior Worker 20max, Radiation Department Mutant Massage Therapist 20max, Senior Biologist 20max, Cyber Hacker 20max

Consciousness: 957

Physical Strength Value: 5080/5080

Mechanical Blood Volume: 30877/30877

Mechanical Energy: 100000

Biological Energy: 118110

Personal Attributes: Power 250, Agility 272, Endurance 232, Intelligence 240, Perception 266, Personality: -21

Gao Gong scanned around, finding no issues aside from the overly high personality score.

After adding the points—

Power: 250→280

Agility: 272→282

Physical Strength: 5080→5280

Perception: 266→306 (Random Talent Gained at 100 points)

Soon, a random Tier 3 Talent rolled out.

Advanced Information Virus Perception Organ (Solidified Talent): Viruses in the Information Ocean are pervasive—Data Viruses, Neural Signal Viruses, Personality Viruses, even Human Signal Viruses. But as a Senior Information Inspector, you can always identify these viruses a step ahead, no matter how deeply they are hidden.

”A Solidified Talent.”

Solidified Talents cannot be upgraded, but despite being non-upgradable, just the ability to hear various ’information viruses’ is incredibly useful.

In the Cyber Tide, various information viruses are the most lethal.

In an instant, it seemed as if one of Gao Gong’s ears was shrinking while the other was expanding endlessly, until one ear disappeared.

While the other ear expanded to its limit, with a ’pop,’ like breaking through a bubble.

In an instant, he could hear information flowing like tides, each stream a data program, each ’fish’ a virus hidden within.

Each ’virus’ is just another form of ’life.’

...

Every attribute enhancement marks a life evolution.

This time is no exception.

The increase in Power, Agility, Physical Strength, and Perception made the senses more acute, enhancing clarity to the point where the entire world became more discernible.

30+10+40

Physical Strength Value = Power, Agility, Endurance, Intelligence, Perception * 5

[Your Physical Strength +400]

main attribute points also contributed to the increase of two health bars—adding 1 point to each of the five main attributes boosts life by 50.

[Your Mechanical Blood Volume +4000]

[Your Biological Blood Volume +4000]

Gao Gong seemed to hear the roar of blood rushing through his veins, while within the mechanical skeleton, the secretion rate of metal particles accelerated. Two different systems progressed synchronously at the same frequency.

At this moment, Du Zhaodi slowly opened her eyes, looking at Gao Gong.

”I feel your Power has ascended another level.”

”A minor improvement, nothing compared to Director Du’s pace,” Gao Gong chuckled as he moved closer, placing her fair leg on his lap, gently massaging, or rather, caressing it.

”Director Du, how are you feeling now?”

Du Zhaodi contemplated and then replied, ”It’s quite remarkable. It used to be that I could only operate machines manually. Later, I could remotely control thousands of machines, and now, I am an entire industrial kingdom, my thoughts becoming the production lines, and my very being integrated into the pulse of the industrial engine.”

”Incredible!” Gao Gong marveled, ”Some top-tier mechanical lives might not even match Director Du’s current state.”
