Although they were two sides of the same whole, when Gao Gong's mechanical body headed to Fifth Xuanxuan, Gao Gong's main body—or rather, his biological body—could only perceive things vaguely.
He could faintly sense what the other side encountered, but he could only understand the specific sequence of events once the other half returned.
But this state was not dissociative identity disorder in the usual sense.
If he had to describe it, for the mechanical body and biological body, the other half was like being under anesthesia for circumcision.
He could vaguely perceive things, but not much.
This state was not entirely a bad thing.
Because of it, Gao Gong could safely upgrade Fatty Xiang and Huang Yuanli.
The process went like this.
Huang Yuanli first strengthened Fatty Xiang's "wetware bloodline" to the peak of Tier Three through the radiation bloodline.
Then she implanted Tier Four wetware.
Upgrading Huang Yuanli was relatively easy, because this planetary treant could configure herself and choose suitable biological plugins.
Upgrading Fatty Xiang was more difficult, and it even failed several times.
During the most serious failure, even the "biological cloning unit" exploded, and Fatty Xiang had to rely on the Gao Family Ancestral Hall to reconstruct his consciousness.
The reason was not complicated.
A Tier Two cybernetic doctor was operating on a Tier Three biological body and implanting Tier Four wetware.
It would have been strange if the success rate had been high.
Ultimately, the problem was that his secondary profession level was too low.
In the game Cyber World, both main and secondary professions could be advanced through improvements to a faction's technology tree.
For example, under the star-net system, a Tier Two cyber-hacker could naturally become a Tier Three cyber-hacker.
Of course, Tier Three viruses and Tier Three skills for cyber-hackers had
