On this superyacht, which the senior engineer named "Titanic," there is a rather large banquet center.

Having just completed his evolution, Gao was about to train with his new henchmen.

The worldview of Mech Hunter is so simple and unadorned: if you win, everything is negotiable; if you lose, what can you say when the dead are gone?

The senior engineer was only wearing beach shorts, and his bare upper body revealed terrifying muscles with dense, blood-red lines, making him look fierce and cruel.

After the original soup was used to digest the original food, the remaining cells of the seven-colored dinosaur and the iron-backed dinosaur in his body finally completely merged with him.

This caused the originally eerie and gorgeous patterns to become even more complex.

The engineer's two-meter-tall stature, coupled with his powerful aura resembling that of a high-level radiated beast, caused even the top-tier mechanical hunters present to hesitate subconsciously.

"What, are you embarrassed? Don't be shy, just have some fun."

The senior engineer looked around, cracked his thick neck, and laughed, "How about this, without using any guns or cannons, I'll just stand here. Whoever makes me move an inch will lose."

"If I lose, I'll give you a free mechanical modification as a greeting gift from your boss, how about that?"

A commotion erupted, and among the experts present, half were tempted, while the other half were enraged.

Even if you're a great fighter, if you just stand still, aren't you just a perfect target?

"Now that the boss has spoken, what are we waiting for!"

A heavily modified cyborg resembling "Black God" stood up. This guy was a head taller than the senior engineer, with both arms and both legs being the same model of mechanical prosthetics, and his knees being medium-sized motors.

This guy's name is Sun Tu, and he's known by his nickname, Mechanical Demon Ape.

"Boss, watch out so I don't knock you over!"

The power of the medium-sized motor is ten times that of the micro motor, and at this moment, the four motors are emitting a loud roar.

It's like popping popcorn.

"It's okay, go ahead and bump into me."

This guy really is like an ape, with all four limbs planted on the ground. The next moment, like an old ape climbing a mountain, his four pillar-like hands and feet exerted force at the same time, and his right fist, like a pile driver, with a deafening roar, rushed towards the senior engineer's chest.

"Good timing!"

The senior engineer slightly bent his knees, and the next moment, his left palm suddenly shot out and grabbed the mechanical fist of the opponent.

It looks like holding a basketball.

The motor seemed to have shut down, making no sound at all.

The senior engineer's five fingers sank into his fist. To Sun Tu's disbelief, the senior engineer's right hand shot out from under his ribs like lightning and struck his opponent's ribs heavily.

A look of pain flashed in Sun Tu's eyes, and he took a shaky step backward. Even more exaggeratedly, his thick mechanical right arm was swaying strangely.

This is a prosthetic body; dislocation is impossible. It's short-circuited.

Is this guy really that unlucky?

Many people also noticed the engineer's hands, or more precisely, his five silver fingernails, which could pierce through alloy knuckles. Those fingernails were incredibly sharp!

Moreover, this claw deliberately tore apart the wires inside the prosthetic body, causing a short circuit. What a ruthless eye! No wonder he's a prosthetic doctor.

The senior engineer flicked his metallic fingernails, looked around, and laughed, "What, you're not going to go?"

"I'll do it!"

Under the waiter's horrified gaze, Saber Tamil flicked his hands, and two red knives sprang out. This guy was also a close combat expert, and his knife skills were definitely at an elite level.

The saber, like a harvester's scythe, moved with lightning speed, slashing out a cross shape from front to back.

The senior engineer's eyes lit up. "Beast-mimicking sword technique!"

The senior engineer was very familiar with the Reaper's tactics, after all, the Reaper Queen's blood flowed in his veins, and he easily blocked him with just one hand, without using his hands.

Upon seeing this, Tamil immediately changed his fighting style to another way of hunting radiated beasts, like a giant snake coiling around its prey, which he also transformed into swordsmanship.

Now, the senior engineer had to use both hands to deal with the situation, using his palm to block the knife while simultaneously letting his mind wander.

Nothing can boost combat power faster than 'combat chips'.

But even if the senior engineer sold himself, he couldn't replace the combat chips in front of everyone.

Not to mention him, even the security force isn't this wealthy and powerful.

As we all know, chips have always been the most expensive technology products, and even in the bustling city, they are not much cheaper.

But that doesn't mean there's no way to solve it.

If we can't make mechanical chips, we can make "biochips".

The hunting skills of mechanical beasts are also honed through countless trials, and their efficiency is no less than that of big data calculations.

However, this requires knowledge of biology, bionics, neural implantation equipment, and a 'hunter module' that can install chips.

Those present were all seasoned veterans, and someone immediately noticed that the senior engineer was not concentrating.

A cowboy lasso suddenly fell from the sky and tied up the senior engineer.

Cowboy Ap shouted excitedly, "Brothers, what are you waiting for?!"

Keiko Matsushima, using her short legs to propel herself forward, appeared in mid-air, the back of her sword facing forward, gripping it at her waist in a standard draw-and-slash stance, and shouted, "Serves you right for not giving me your big breasts, I'm going to rip your ass open!"

The three knives collided heavily.

The iron-boned blade wings on the back of the senior engineer resembled a pair of scissors, directly blocking the Japanese girl's katana.

"Come on, try my dual-wielding style," the senior engineer said without turning his head.

Enraged, Matsushima Keiko activated her combat chip and unleashed her intelligent swordsmanship once more, instantly engaging the senior engineer in a fierce battle with his "Mirror Still Water" technique.

In the air, the barely visible flashes of light from the blades and the constantly exploding sparks blended together.

Two more blades thrust out from below the shoulder blades, forcing back the two mechanical hunters who were attacking from the side.

Only then did everyone realize that even with their hands bound, it didn't significantly affect the boss's combat power.

He also has feet and four biological longswords.

At this point, everyone could no longer hold back and rushed forward. In an instant, all sorts of unique "mechanical hunting modifications" were displayed, except for the lack of firearms.

They at least need to prove that they are qualified to work under the new boss.

An assassin-style mechanical hunter flicked his hand, and two smoke bombs exploded.

This is not an ordinary smoke bomb, but a "radiation shielding bomb" that can shield rays and weaken the state of the radiation beast.

However, the blood vessels on the engineer's skin began to slowly lengthen, and the shielding smoke that landed on the engineer's skin was actually quickly absorbed by the blood vessels.

It did not work.

This is the effect of [Primary Energy Immunity].

"Damn it, which idiot threw that smoke grenade? I can't see it anymore!"

The senior engineer's figure seemed to disappear into the mist. The next moment, the wind howled, and a whip-like leg tore through the mist, slamming into the opponent's chest and sending the mechanical hunter flying three meters, smashing a table.

[Radiation Invisibility] is a unique ability of the Rainbow Wyvern. It means that the radiation on the ship is not high. In urban areas, advanced engineers can even achieve complete invisibility and not even make a sound.

A rare creature hunter roared, and like Kimimaro, more than a dozen sharp bone spikes sprang from his body as he charged forward.

Then it was shaved into bone fragments at an even faster speed and kicked out.

Biological modification is never isolated. After absorbing the cells of the Ironback Wyvern, the "material" of the four bladed limbs has been completely transformed from a semi-metallic, semi-skeletal structure into a bio-alloy, with its hardness and sharpness reaching a new level.

In a sense, this can already be called a famous sword.

It's at least much stronger than the Red Unicorn and the Blue Harvester, and on par with the 'Red Cherry' in the hands of the Japanese girl.

However, that relaxed state of mind is gone forever.

Everyone was a top-notch mechanic with rich combat experience. After a short period of adjustment, they quickly entered a team combat mode.

The senior engineer's expression gradually became serious, and he had to use 80%, 90%, or even 100% of his energy to deal with these top experts recruited from various oases.

Without using the "Rainy Night Killing Mode," his combat ability was not significantly different from these people.

The simplest example is that the mechanical power of the Mountain can crush him, but he cannot crush them.

Before level 10, the modification rate is increased by 1% and mechanical energy is increased by 100. The maximum human body modification at level 10 is 25%, which means that basic human body modification can reach a maximum of 2500 mechanical energy.

The upgrade limit for level 20 is 50%, which is 5000 points.

These people are generally around level 18 or 19.

Theoretically speaking, these people's mechanical energy can reach 7000 points.

However, in the desert, failed modifications and unsuitable modifications are quite common.

In fact, a success rate of more than 50% for renovations is already considered a model of success.

An elite hunter's mechanical energy is around 3500 points.

He is still much stronger than players of the same level.

After all, these people are at most just failed at modification, and in the player's talents, there is an option called "random modification".

Unlike other games, Cyberworld doesn't allow you to delete your account and start over; once you've made a move, there's no going back.

As for the senior engineer, his current mechanical ability is not as good as these people, with only 2596 points.

But in addition to mechanical energy, he also has biological energy. His biological modifications are all carefully selected, so his biological energy far exceeds his mechanical energy, reaching 3810 points.

High-quality human body modifications, such as a top-tier piece of equipment or a top-tier biological component, will add additional biological/mechanical energy.

That's how the 50,000 mechanical kilometres of the Demon Mountain came about.

The combination of mechanical energy and biological energy allows the advanced engineer to perform twice the transformation of these individuals.

This led the besieging mechanical hunters to discover that the boss's methods, burst damage, and skills were actually superior to their own.

True Hexagonal Warrior

With a flick of his finger, a "metallic fingernail" shot out like a bullet, severing the cowboy hunter's lasso.

Lungmen Flying Armor (Biological Modification): The Ironback Wyvern's claws can tear apart the hardest alloys, and its claw tips can even fire like a grenade launcher. You have absorbed a portion of its power, and the power of your claw-launched projectiles is equivalent to that of small-caliber bullets.

In just three seconds, under the influence of the highly polymerized metal factor, new metal nails grew out.

With his free hands, he caught various blades, and at the same time, he activated his "killing intent," freezing the one with the strongest weapon, and then kicked him out of the battle circle.

Even Daisy, who had been watching the show, couldn't sit still any longer.

If you can't even beat someone in a group fight, that's too embarrassing!

The moment she joined the battle, the senior engineer's pressure instantly increased dramatically.

The reason is simple: after installing the 'Spider Module,' this woman not only broke through the level 20 cap, but her mechanical energy also reached 6,000 points, which is almost the same as his.

She transformed into a spider, frantically crawling across the ceiling. Her eight mechanical claws became shadowy streaks, forcing the senior engineer to force Matsushima Keiko to retreat and fight her with his four bladed limbs.

The Japanese girl seized an opportunity and attacked him head-on. He could only use "Sword Frenzy" to suppress her algorithmic swordsmanship.

Seeing this, the others perked up and mustered their strength to launch another attack.

Caught off guard, Daisy was the first to find an opening. She unleashed a torrent of spider silk, and the engineer, caught off guard, was nearly covered in it. Although his face wasn't covered, his two limbs and one arm were stuck to the ground and the wall by the spider silk.

Upon seeing this, a mechanical hunter suddenly swung his arm, which transformed in mid-air into a remote-controlled animal trap, clamping down on the engineer's thigh.

They pounced on the boss, beating him while he was down.

The senior engineer sighed helplessly, and slowly extended his right foot, which was caught in the clamp. As he squatted down, the grotesque mechanical spine squeezed out from his flesh, and he forcefully stomped his foot down.

"Dragon Subduing!"

The entire Titanic sank.

At the same time, a violent and chaotic shockwave surged and dispersed, blowing the attackers away.

To the others, the colossal sky beast, the Ironback Wyvern, hundreds of meters long, appeared, its giant claws grabbing the Titanic.

Ironback Wyvern Spine (Biological Mutation): The hardest and most mechanized part of the Ironback Wyvern. Each mechanical joint is a jet propulsion device, granting +60% melee burst damage and +2000kg carrying capacity. Additional status: Dragon Subduing.

Dragon Subduing: The jet engines of all 34 vertebrae operate simultaneously, creating a powerful air blast that knocks back enemies in a 3x3 area and stuns them.

Requirements: 9% modification rate for the musculoskeletal system, 5% for the nervous system, and 4% for the respiratory system.
