Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 819: Chapter 343: The Final Arrangement

Next, Gao Gong did not go to see Luca the Sage, nor did he continue to capture Bionic A.

He had more important things to do.

He returned to the Great Curved Saber of Du Zhaodi.

It was rare to see the high-level personnel of Du Gao Technology gather so fully, including Professor Han from Mr. G’s Research Association, the newly joined Black Python and his daughter, General Quel who trained the Mechanical Legion, the retired Old Hunters of the first generation, the second-generation Old Hunters transformed into the Imperial Guard, and even Ms. Qiao from the Holy Brain Group.

A full hundred or so people, yet the scene was extremely quiet.

Gao Gong swept his gaze around, then it landed in the center on the Tower of Spirit Image.

Name: Tower of Spirit Image (Tier 3)

Category: Large Civilization Architecture

Quality: Level 3 Civilization

Weight: 113 tons

Basic Attributes: Upload speed: 100 people/1 second, coverage range: Planet Level

Large Module: Consciousness Transfer Module, Information Transformation Module

Super Mode (Large-scale Consciousness Transmission): Achieves consciousness transformation and transmission within a planet’s range.

Super Mode (Information Protection): Protects the information stream during consciousness uploads.

Everyone looked at Gao Gong, their eyes full of trust.

Gao Gong smiled, ”Everyone, see you in a year.”

”Boss, see you in a year.”

”Beauty sleep, beauty sleep.”

”Now that the boss mentioned it, I really feel sleepy.”

”Perfect timing, paid vacation.”

Gao Gong closed his eyes, and for a moment, entered the box state once again, but this time what appeared were not Knights of Destruction, but rather strange ’Black Boxes.’

And these ’Black Boxes’ were the ’Information Security Houses’ created by Gao Gong.

Everyone donned the most advanced model of the virtual helmets for consciousness upload.

Soon, each ’Black Box’ housed the body consciousness of a person from Du Gao Technology.

And as the consciousness upload completed, under the view of the ’Divine Knowledge,’ transparent worms crawled out of their bodies and vanished into the air.

Sure enough, the safe house made by the Destructive Power was able to isolate the ’Memory Worms.’

”Open the Membrane Realm.”

Soon, centered around the starship, a faint black membrane appeared and slowly expanded. Within this black membrane, everyone’s bodies began to virtualize, disappearing from the real world.

Name: Membrane Realm (Tier 3)

Category: Large Civilization Architecture

Quality: Level 3 Civilization

Weight: None

Function 1: Virtualizes the human body, sealing it in the Virtual Realm

Function 2: Serves as one of the ’foundations’ of the Virtual World, with a wide virtual transformation function

”The physical data has also been uploaded to the safe house,” Du Zhaodi said.

”Yes.”

”The Earth Element Breakthrough Machine will enter automatic excavation mode, digging all the way to a certain mantle layer, then automatically shut down. All of the group’s superweapons will likewise be sealed underground.”

”I know.”

”Next, I need to shut down all of Du Gao Group’s production factories and transfer all combat mechas to avoid them being used by the enemy at the last crucial moment.”

Gao Gong looked deeply at him and said:

”Sister Du, what I care most about is you.”

At such critical moments, when else to sprinkle dog food?

Du Zhaodi immediately showed a happy expression, gently holding the other person’s waist.

”Didn’t we agree, after wrapping things up, my Great Curved Saber will enter space drift mode, leaving this planet for a short time, and when I reach a certain point, I will return.”

”I hope when you return, I’ve already solved the problem.”

”I don’t hope for that,” Du Zhaodi looked deeply at Gao Gong, ”I hope when I return, I can help you solve the problem.”

”Rest assured, I’m not some lone hero who resolves everything alone; I definitely won’t give up on any big shot I can rely on.”

”That’s what I like most about you.”

For once, the two did nothing but sit on the deck, chatting away the entire night.

Gao Gong lay on Director Du’s fragrant thighs, and as they chatted, he fell asleep.

Relaxing in the arms of a rich lady is indeed soothing.

Soon, it was the next day.

Gao Gong and Du Zhaodi parted, with Director Du going to shut down mech factories worldwide, while Gao Gong was responsible for relocating the ’Tower of Spirit Image.’

After successfully building the first Tower of Spirit Image, Director Du unleashed the starship girl’s super productivity to construct five towers consecutively, sparing no expense in a short period.

Director Du’s productivity, frankly, is overwhelmingly strong.

Soon, in an uninhabited Radiation Zone, Gao Gong appeared carrying the Tower of Spirit Image, which was dozens of times taller than himself.

Piercing the Tower of Spirit Image firmly into the ground.

”Activate the ’Membrane Realm.’

”Okay, brother.”

At the next moment, the black membrane expanded again, enveloping the ’Tower of Spirit Image,’ once again disappearing into the space.

Five consecutive times, the places Gao Gong chose could ensure global signal coverage, and they were all locations untouched by the previous cycle of the Cyber Tide.

After Gao Gong installed the fifth ’Tower of Spirit Image’, Gao Yuanyuan appeared and softly said:

”Brother, the ’Random Data Combination Machine’ has been adjusted.”

Gao Gong nodded once more, opened over six hundred ’Safe Houses’, which disappeared one by one as the Tower of Spirit Image was activated. Then, they randomly teleported with the entire planet’s virtual helmets as nodes.

Name: Random Data Combination Machine (Tier 3)

Category: Large-scale Civilization Architecture

Quality: Level 3 Civilization

Weight: None

Function One: By combining digital signals, it spawns virtual life, with an 87.9% chance to create a basic virtual life, 11.1% chance for an intermediate virtual life, and 1% chance for an advanced information life.

Function Two: Random digital transformation, constantly adjusting virtual nodes for high-frequency changes within the signal range.

”Brother.”

”Hmm?”

”You and Sister Du are really affectionate.”

”Not bad, mainly because the rich lady is powerful, and I can’t help but swallow my pride,” Gao Gong said casually, suddenly becoming alert. As an experienced person, he suddenly sensed the presence of a threat.

”Yuanyuan, little beauty, you’re not secretly deleting part of my and Ms. Du Zhaodi’s memories while erasing mine, are you?”

”Brother, what do you take me for? I really like Sister-in-law,” Gao Yuanyuan said indignantly.

”Good, sis, us Gao Family members now depend on others for a paycheck, don’t do anything irrational,” Gao Gong advised earnestly.

”Brother likes rich ladies so much? Then I want to become a rich lady too!”

Gao Gong affectionately gave her a gentle pat on the head.

”When you become a rich lady, brother will cling to your leg.”

Then, a purple light flashed, and Gao Gong appeared in the ward.

The next moment, he saw a mountain of transparent spiders, and the magnetic tape underfoot wrapped him like a mummy.

”Don’t cut too much, just like a peeling surgery, cutting too much easily causes excessive bleeding,” Gao Gong repeatedly instructed.

”Brother!”

Soon, Gao Gong dozed off and woke up rubbing his head, and as expected, all memories of the Tower of Spirit Image had vanished.

Both the number of Towers and their storage locations completely disappeared from his mind.

”Brother, the surgery was successful. How’s your body feeling?”

Nurse-clad Gao Yuanyuan smiled at him with narrowed eyes. For some reason, looking at her smile made Gao Gong’s scalp tingle slightly. He quietly sensed his body, reassuring himself that all parts were intact.

”How long has it been?”

”Almost five days.”

”Why so long?”

”Brother’s subconscious is too strong, so it took a bit more time,” Gao Yuanyuan apologized.

”It’s not your fault, it’s my oversight.”

He forgot that with his current consciousness at over two thousand points, deleting memory fragments wasn’t that easy.

Gao Gong calculated: capturing those Destruction Forms took about five days, and now five more days had passed for the surgery.

That means, less than four or five days remain until the Turing Divine Throne ascension.

”Time is tight.”

Gao Gong muttered to himself.

He initially intended to hunt down Bionic A after deleting his memory.

Now he had to choose between pursuing Bionic A and disrupting the Turing ascension.

There was no hesitation; Bionic A wasn’t easy to kill, and there was a Hell Task waiting with Turing.

The reward for that task is a ’Cosmic Treasure’.

”I’m off. Catch up with me once you’re done with your tasks,”

Gao Yuanyuan’s speed in opening her mind wasn’t much slower than Gao Gong’s.

”Okay, brother.”

After Gao Gong left, Gao Yuanyuan lapsed into deep thought.

Then, Gox’s signature mischievous laugh suddenly echoed in her mind.

”Heh heh heh, you coward, I underestimated you, you were indeed thinking of altering his memory before, weren’t you, you little rascal!”

Gao Yuanyuan panicked, her face flushed red.

”No, I never thought of that.”

”Heh heh, easy to fool outsiders, but am I an outsider? That’s what you said.”

”I didn’t intend to delete Sister Du’s memory; I just wanted to enhance my relationship with Brother...” Gao Yuanyuan’s voice got weaker, finally barely a hum.

”Alright, boring, I’m off to continue developing my lackeys. Hmph, soon the top hackers will be mine, mwahaha, I’ll build the most powerful underground organization on this planet!”

Once there was no more sound in her mind, Gao Yuanyuan sighed with relief, taking quite an effort to calm down before transmitting herself directly into the main brain of the Great Curved Saber starship.

Du Zhaodi calmly sat in front of the main brain, smiled slightly upon seeing Gao Yuanyuan, ”Here you are.”

”Yes, Sister Du, I’ll start now,” Gao Yuanyuan said with a bit of guilty conscience for no apparent reason.

”It’s okay, you’ve done this many times, don’t worry about failing,” Du Zhaodi comforted, assuming that’s what she was worried about.

”Yes, mmhm.”

Soon, under the effect of the Tower of Spirit Image and the Membrane Realm, Du Zhaodi’s body and consciousness were successfully uploaded, sealed within the Information Security House.

As for the Great Curved Saber, it followed its predetermined path, transforming into a long line, disappearing into the radiation layer.
