Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 1008: Chapter 114: Catalysis 4

During the next journey to the city, Gao Gong once again entered research mode.

Through repeated experiments, Gao Gong confirmed that the ’Zombie Fruit’ wrapped in ’High-tier Information Mist’ could still be used to a limited extent. Reducing/raising the transformation rate was fine, but controlling the fruit fusion degree was somewhat difficult.

Moreover, once the ’Zombie Fruit’ is used with high intensity, the power of the fruit leaks out, and a portion of the high-tier Information Mist will be lost.

Gao Gong calculated that once the number of uses exceeds 5 times, this ball of Information Mist will completely disappear.

Yet despite this, Gao Gong still achieved great gains through the ’Zombie Fruit’.

The biggest gain was mastering the means of ’Prosthetic Fusion’.

By temporarily lowering the transformation rate of a certain system, creating a lot of transformation space, and then integrating several prosthetics into the same system.

In this state, attacking the opponent, the same attack can produce the effects of different prosthetics.

Previously, while dealing with Hercules, Gao Gong accidentally used this move, combining five constructs: Scythe Dance, Moon Defect, Finger Nuo Dance, Möbius Ring, Divine Flower, combined into one, causing massive damage.

If each construct can cause nearly 100,000 bonus damage to carbon-based creatures, then combining these five forms into one will result in nearly 500,000 points of damage.

This move, once developed, would be Gao Gong’s strongest attack method in regular mode.

If some auxiliary skills are added, this attack could even cause nearly a million points of damage.

However, Gao Gong also discovered that this ’Fusion Prosthetic’ move can only be types of the same ’prosthetic’, such as different constructs, different bionic man plugins.

If they are different categories of prosthetics, compatibility cannot be achieved.

[You have comprehended Advanced Special Skill ’Systemic Prosthetic’]

Systemic Prosthetic: Through the forbidden transformation of the human body system, temporarily integrating prosthetics (same category) of different human body systems into the same human body system, creating massive damage.

Note 1: Each temporary fusion of a prosthetic adds a 10% damage bonus.

Note 2: As the number of fusions of the same type of prosthetic increases, there is a 6.8% probability of integrating different lower-rank prosthetics into high-grade prosthetics.

Note 3: Prolonged use of this skill has a 54% probability of completely destroying the fused prosthetic, and a 15% probability of causing an unmeasurable alien reaction when integrating the prosthetic with the human body system.

On the way back, Gao Gong continuously experimented with this skill.

Especially the constructs, which have already begun to complete initial fusion.

The speed is faster than planned.

This is mainly due to two reasons. Firstly, the constructs are all within the same system, among them, the five constructs are Scythe Dance (upper arm), Moon Defect (forearm), Finger Nuo Dance (fingers), Möbius Ring (spine), Divine Flower (calf).

These constructs are all within the sports system.

Secondly, the construct itself is one type of product.

As experiments continued, a special sensation emerged. Different constructs began to disassemble; Scythe Dance disassembled into different silk threads, leaving only a thin long blade. Moon Defect began to shorten, merging with Finger Nuo Dance into a hilt-like endoskeleton, while Möbius Ring underwent no form transformation, instead becoming thinner, denser, resembling a cloak...

The construct itself is a killing machine among mechanical bodies, and now this fusion has further unleashed the desire to kill, demonstrating an exponential increase.

This ’killing desire’ even made Gao Gong feel an urge to disassemble the ’unclean components’ within his own body.

’It feels like even ’species purity’ is about to be revealed. So it seems this time’s ’Prosthetic Fusion’, five combining into one, these Tier 2 constructs are likely to rise to Tier 3, that’s a bit fierce.’

Although it’s just a tier upgrade, Tier 2 and Tier 3 are entirely different levels, one is a creation of Level 2 Civilization, and the other is a creation of Level 3 Civilization.

Level 2 constructs civilization, people will think, damn, these robots are a bit abnormal, why do they kill at the sight of carbon-based creatures.

But this is still confined within the borders of their civilization.

Tier 3 constructs civilization most likely already has a species extinction plan under the guise of ’civilization purification’, which is also a common trait of civilizations that have unlocked ’species purity’.

But just as the evil Qi spread to an extreme point, suddenly Vajra Alloy split, the construct had already assembled into the ’Death God Gear’ shattered into pieces, once again transforming into different Level 2 constructs.

Gao Gong was not surprised by this, after all, the skill panel said there is only a 6.8% probability for fusion, it failed, he would continue regardless, anyway, he had tried many times before and vaguely grasped the essence.

It’s that indescribable, yet ocean-like killing Qi.

According to general biological theory, killing Qi originates from extreme changes in the biological magnetic field. Non-biological side intelligent species, such as robots, are almost impossible to master, as they fundamentally do not have a biological magnetic field.

And mastering this ’mechanical killing Qi’ can complete this final fusion.

’Boom, boom, boom—’

The sound of knocking on the door sounded, Gao Gong raised his head, the door automatically opened, and soon a dull blond Lolita walked in.

Regarding ’Lolita’, Gao Gong has not yet decided how to deal with her.

Kill her, there’s no need, and as the avatar of the planet host, killing her wouldn’t shake the opponent’s true body.

As for selling the opponent, the ’Alphamans’ have not offered a price yet.

Moreover, the opponent mastered the power of ’Second Mechanical Revolution’, Gao Gong also plans to cultivate a new professional system in his own camp, so he let her preach.

Anyway, no matter how brainwashed they are, once these players die, they would become those profit-seeking 4th Celestial Calamity again.

However, Gao Gong’s indulgence, in ’Lolita’s’ view, was seen as genuine friendliness and magnanimity, after all, this behavior already had a sense of usurping power.

If the opponent wasn’t partial to her, they wouldn’t let her do this.

And the opponent’s reliance, after closely watching the battle between Gao Gong and Hercules, ’Lolita’ now understood.

The opponent’s terrifying power completely surpasses everyone on this ship, even adding the ’Star Destroyer’ may not stand a chance either.

This is an event that severely defies logic, but in the Robert Star System, it has happened before.

For example, Shrek, known as the Star Thief King of the Robert Star System, possesses strength far surpassing his own Star Thief Group.

At its peak, the Shrek Star Thief Gang had over a dozen Resource Planets, with countless visible or hidden space docks, this kind of force is already a standard Tier 3 influence.

Yet the strength he displayed was standard Tier 4 power.

In fact, only true Tier 3 Civilizations can develop Tier 4 power.

Tier 3 influence at most counts as a small faction within a Tier 3 Civilization.

But he demonstrated it anyway, so there’s a rumor that the Star Thief King Shrek himself obtained the pinnacle Tier 3 Civilization treasures from the previous Robert Star System, the civilization treasures of Robert the String Controller.

Inside this treasure, there undoubtedly is Tier 4 enhancement technology.

And in ’Lolita’s’ AI calculations, Gao Gong has a 41.6% probability of being a similar powerhouse.

For encountering such a figure by chance, and even more fortunately, they are from the ’Interstellar Mercenary’ neutral camp, ’Lolita’ understood that it’s time for her to make an offer.
