Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 766: Chapter 290: Slaying Red Blade

In the Deep Web Mother City, basically all the skyscrapers are filled with data pipelines, but the building in front of Gao Gong is particularly special because its data pipelines are inserted into the rooftop. Seeing in the direction of the rooftop, dozens of pipes have one end inserted into large mouths, while the other extends into the sky, inserting into the virtual level.

This building is called ’Virtual 1’, in a way, equivalent to the office hall of the Deep Web. Besides the ’criminal cases’ handled by the Six Ministries, most businesses are processed in this building, including the ’Mother City Trading Point’.

After showing his identity, Gao Gong was quickly invited to the super VIP room of Virtual 1, a room located at the top of the building. The ceiling is transparent, and you can even see the rooftop scene.

There is a gigantic virtual brain with a range of about dozens of meters.

Judging by its facial features, it seems to be a woman, and her skull area happens to correspond to those dozens of data pipelines.

A woman’s head with the skull inserted is placed on the rooftop, which looks somewhat fierce.

Through the data field of view, Gao Gong can see the terrifying data stream pouring into her brain from the sky, then processed by the ’brain’ and infused into the entire building.

The processing power of the entire ’virtual brain’ is even comparable to the corporate intelligence of some super corporations.

”How do you like our ’Tower Spirit’, Veronia?”

A hearty voice sounded, and then a middle-aged man with a smile pushed the door open and entered.

”How should I address you, is it Minister Gao from the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division or Mr. G from Du Gao Technology?”

”Either is fine; how should I address you?” Gao Gong looked the other party up and down and suddenly said, ”You’re not a real person, are you?”

”I am the housekeeper of this ’Virtual 1’, and all affairs of this building are handled by me. My data processing center is the ’Veronia’ above.”

”Where does its pipeline lead to?” Fat Xiang, unable to hold back his curiosity any longer, asked.

”Most of the time, our planet is closed, but there still needs to be data for exchange and materials for trade, and those pipelines receive information from outer space.”

”No wonder it looks so much like an antenna. It turns out to be an antenna, an alien antenna,” Fat Xiang murmured.

Gao Gong exchanged a smile with the housekeeper.

In fact, in Gao Gong’s opinion, the most technically advanced part of this building is not the ’antenna’, but that ’Veronia’. Without any physical hardware support, a complete virtual side data processing center, it’s definitely a mark of high-level virtual technology development.

”You know my purpose, right?”

”Of course, you currently have a total of 122,000 points at the Mother City Trading Point. Considering the reputation you have accumulated in the Mother City, we will offer you a 20% discount on all transactions.”

”I want to see the ’Martial God Armor’.”

”Okay.”

The housekeeper pointed, and suddenly, a series of holographic screens lit up. Each screen displayed a type of Martial God Armor.

Martial God Armor - LuoHou Giant Cannon, it is an energy cannon composed of hundreds of cannon rings, with an attack damage reaching up to 500,000.

Martial God Armor - Dark Attribute Energy Armor, this is a defensive energy weapon. According to the description on it, its energy armor resistance can reach 400,000, and when the energy armor is exhausted, it only takes five minutes for the energy armor to recharge automatically.

Martial God Armor - 3rd Generation of the Vengeful Goddess

Martial God Armor - Kuloma Mechanized Enhancement Body

Martial God Armor - Super Repulsive Field Generator

...

It can be seen that the Martial God Armor in the Mother City is quite comprehensive, and quite a few are interstellar equipment. Gao Gong even saw a few Constructs.

However, these are not what Gao Gong wants. It’s not that they are not strong, but because these are all Sports System Transformations.

Gao Gong’s sports system transformation has reached 78%, not far from 100%.

In other words, within level 90, the range of transformation is not much.

He is also ready to install a few major pieces after entering Tier 3.

”What’s the matter, Mr. G?” the housekeeper asked with concern.

Gao Gong thought for a moment and said, ”Remove all Martial God Armor related to bones, bone connections, and skeletal muscles for me.”

”Okay.”

In an instant, the overlapping images were reduced by half.

And the remaining ones are all Martial God Armor implanted into other human body systems.

Gao Gong scrolled through but didn’t find suitable implant equipment. Instead, he set his eyes on a dual-attribute long blade.

It is not a permanent implant equipment but a temporary implant Martial God nature weapon.

Martial God Armor: Neural Connection Blade - Slaying Red Blade

It looks entirely like a red Miao Blade, with a dozen needle-sized holes on the hilt. Needle holes are connected with neural lines, and once in battle mode, the neural lines will automatically shoot out and connect with the user.

The online mode, also known as the ’Man and Blade as One’ mode, automatically adds four Tier 2 Full Level blade techniques in this mode.

More interestingly, it possesses two modes: a physical mode and a virtual mode, and in both modes, its attack reaches 20,000. In other words, it can not only kill people but also slay electronic viruses.

According to the description in the data, this blade was born in a cosmic environment called Star Abyss, a special semi-informational organism that can transform into a physical state or an informational state; in its physical state, it is a type of super metal named ’Crimson Stone.’ After being forged into a weapon, it also has lethality in the virtual level.

What Gao Gong is more concerned about is its destructive power in the virtual level.

Although he possesses the ’Information Killer,’ a Tier 3 skill, Gao Gong’s conventional means of destruction on the virtual side are still limited. As a veteran who previously took the virtual route, Gao Gong feels a lack of security in this regard.

Walking at night often, one must bring an umbrella.

Seeing Gao Gong’s interest, the housekeeper Lou started to introduce it enthusiastically.

Fat Xiang also looked intrigued, finally staring wide-eyed at a Martial God-level weapon similar to a double-headed Wolf Fang Club.

These two pieces of equipment combined are not expensive, not even exceeding 5,000 Mother City Trading Points, but they are of a different style compared to the Martial God Armor that Gao Gong truly desires.

After an 80% discount, it cost 4,300 trading points.

After sending the housekeeper Lou to fetch the equipment, Gao Gong began to choose again. The various types of Martial God Armour dazzled Gao Gong, who didn’t notice that on the other side of the floor-to-ceiling window, a young girl with bright eyes and white teeth was watching him with great interest.

The girl, dressed in white, looked ethereal. In the dark environment, she didn’t appear scary but rather a bit pitiable.

Seeing Gao Gong still choosing aimlessly, she couldn’t help but pout and finally spoke.

”If I were you, I wouldn’t choose these common goods.”

Gao Gong raised his head somewhat bewilderedly, and upon seeing the girl, his gaze shrank sharply.

This girl was quite familiar; she was the mysterious girl he had seen at the core of the Deep Net during the summoning of the three major Mother Cities.

”I know what you are thinking, like what my relationship with the Deep Net is. Actually, I am the Deep Net,” the girl said playfully.

Gao Gong took a deep breath, glanced at Fat Xiang beside him, and saw that Fat Xiang was engrossed in waiting for his own Martial God Soldier. Gao Gong realized that this ’Deep Net’ might only be something he could see.

”How are you here?”

Miss Deep Net rolled her eyes beautifully.

”What is the name of this Mother City? What is the name of the Planet Host under your feet? Why do you think I’m here?”

She then smiled mischievously:

”However, if you’re asking why I found you, it is, of course, because there is a unique perception between Destruction Forms. I’m number one; the first-born, I’m the big sister, understand?”

Gao Gong paused for a moment and then smiled as well. He could feel that the other party held no hostility, instead, there was an indescribable sense of intimacy.

”Well, big sister Deep Net, do you want to come in and chat?”

”What do you mean by big sister Deep Net? How awful does that sound? You should call me Missy, no, I don’t like that either; you can call me Big Miss, I am Miss Deep Web.”

”As for why I’m not coming in,” Miss Deep Net suddenly pointed to the ’Veronia’ overhead, mysteriously saying, ”If I came in, it would definitely notice me, and once it notices me, something will come to catch me. I can’t let it discover me.”

”Don’t speak yet; listen to me. These ’Martial God Weapons’ are all alien junk. The real good stuff is the self-developed products within the Six Ministries. Instead of buying this, you might go directly to them. Anyway, with your Ministerial Authority, no matter which department developed the Martial God Armor, you have the right to purchase it, and the discount is even better than here.”

Gao Gong’s body shook with excitement, knowing what a good deal it was. Had he known earlier, he would’ve gone to work.

”By the way, you—”

Gao Gong wanted to ask more questions, but by then, the ’Miss Deep Web’ on the opposite side of the window had already vanished.

At this moment, the housekeeper Lou entered, with two delivery drones dragging two boxes, one of which looked particularly heavy.

Sure enough, as soon as it was set down, this floor emitted a noticeable vibration.

Gao Gong opened the box that obviously contained a blade, and upon opening it, a limp red strip appeared inside the box.

”...”

The housekeeper Lou hurried to explain, ”Because this ’Slaying Red Blade’ used to be a living being, it must be fed to have combat power. It’s currently in a satiated state and will be fine in a moment.”

”What does it eat? It can’t be human lives, right?” Gao Gong suspected it might be another Demon Blade.

”No, it usually feeds in the informational state, consuming information. When it was young, it liked watching children’s programs, then shifted to Animal World as it grew, later it enjoyed looking at pictures of beauties. Recently, it’s been obsessed with holographic idols, liking to watch virtual girls dancing in front of it.”

Gao Gong picked it up, noticing that most of the blade was limp, remaining silent for a moment.

”Why is it called Slaying Red Blade? It should be called Slaying 3D Zone Blade.”
