The next day, early morning

When the senior engineer woke up in bed, he suddenly discovered some good news.

Your endocrine system is now unlocked.

The senior engineer recalled that the body fluids of those with 'pheromone lineage' do indeed have the benefit of regulating secretion.

When enough pheromones combine with the body's own chemicals to readjust the endocrine system, it can naturally digest unstable factors within the body.

You reap what you sow; the ancients were right.

The senior engineer scanned his body and noticed many strange, bright red patterns on his chest. These complex patterns covered most of his body, making him look like some powerful figures from the underworld.

These tattoos look like rose petals, lacking the imposing presence of the black dragon.

"Has the Queen of Crimson's bio-plugin integrated with the skin system after the adjustment of pheromones?"

The skin system does not belong to any of the eight major systems of the human body.

However, it is related to most of the eight major systems.

Perhaps the best way for the 'Bright Red Bloodline' to survive is to integrate with the skin system.

After a thorough wash in the super luxurious bathroom belonging to Frasso, the senior engineer, who had been granted Frasso's access before leaving, could easily view the internal data of the Sky Carrier.

At this moment, he is soaking in a bathtub the size of a swimming pool, observing the most crucial information about these security groups through a virtual screen.

"Tsk, two mothership launch silos, a GPS system, custom-made armed aircraft from the mother city, an electromagnetic catapult range, a 360-degree photon laser array—wow, an energy defense network! This is a top-tier defense system for a level two civilization. The security forces are really rich!"

The senior engineer wiped his mouth.

Even if she's a rich woman, she can't get something for nothing.

Given my performance last night, launching hundreds of energy cannons wouldn't be too much to ask, would it?

After all, it's a trade of one shot for another.

The senior engineer has no plans to build ships.

These large-scale equipment projects involve hundreds of industrial and technological achievements. To put it simply, without turning hundreds of large-scale industrial blueprints into physical objects, you can forget about building ships.

In civilized times, this would be the crown jewel of a nation's industry.

However, with Director Du's talent, he could certainly get his hands on other specialties from the security team.

You have obtained the Level 4 Mechanical Blueprint [Mechanical Ninja Tool]

You have obtained the Level 5 Gene Blueprint [Gene Snake]

[You have obtained the Level 5 Creature Blueprint [Basic Strong Colony]]

[You have obtained the Tier 5 Mechanical Blueprint [Melee Exoskeleton]]

You have obtained the Tier 4 weapon blueprint for the Plasma Rifle.

[You have obtained the Level 5 Gene Blueprint [Oceanic Bloodline]]

You have obtained the large-scale mechanical blueprints for the "Bionic Modification Workshop".

The senior engineer downloaded more than thirty blueprints, some of which were equipment, some of which were lineages, including rare blueprints from level two civilizations, such as the secrets of a six-major-general elite force.

It's worth mentioning that the senior engineer also discovered a secretly developing bio-armor project.

This project is even on the verge of mass production.

Xiao conspired with outsiders to assassinate Fraser.

Frasso, on the other hand, secretly learned the Xiao family's signature techniques.

These two are truly a pair of exceptional talents, a hidden dragon and a phoenix chick.

The senior engineer was grinning from ear to ear.

Is this the joy of being kept by a rich woman?

Even if you wiped out the security force yourself, you wouldn't have gained so much.

After downloading all the blueprints, the senior engineer glanced at the task panel.

[Quest complete, experience +4000, new 'Bionic Return to Origin' quest fragment]

The new mission fragment is described as follows:

As the vessel for "evolutionary biomimicry, "Black Rose's background and her aptitude contain a great secret, which may be related to the origin of biomimicry.

The origin of biomimetic humans...

The senior engineer recalled that the earliest androids should have existed before the mechanical age. Of course, they were far less "human" than they are now, and their purpose seemed to be to explore and build extraterrestrial bases.

Habitable planets are ultimately few and far between. The surface environments of the vast majority of planets are extremely harsh, and working on a planet's surface is always life-threatening.

And "androids," as "intelligent humanoid machines," are the best candidates to be cannon fodder.

"Was there a android uprising during the Civilization Era? I don't recall, but I think some players received a quest to suppress an ancient android rebellion."

"This mission rewards you with some rare bionic parts; it was quite popular for a while."

New quest chains have also been generated.

This task chain is probably the simplest one ever made by a senior engineer.

[Fourth stage of the mission: The humanoid key]

Difficulty: Hard+

Mission Briefing: The true secret behind Black Rose is unknown even to the android forces hunting her down. We must use every means possible to force her to reveal this secret.

Mission objective: Obtain the secret that the Black Rose has kept hidden for over twenty years.

Task Rewards: 20,000 Experience, 4 Skill Points, 2 Specialization Points, 2 Lottery Draw Chances, 1 Fragment of a Mechanical Puzzle

"Wow, the rewards for this mission are a bit too much."

However, upon closer examination, this is quite normal. Rose is a level 40+ character and a planetary protagonist template, making her far stronger than The Mountain and Great Knight Steel. What's more troublesome is that if you want to interrogate her, you must capture her alive first.

With the ability to create millions of clones through "evolutionary biomimicry," capturing her alive would be an incredibly difficult task.

But for senior engineers...

Pressuring me for answers, hehe, the word "system" is used quite cleverly.

He felt that since he had been tied up for so long last night, he had the right to interrogate him.

Uh, did I reveal something?

Sister Rose is easy to find.

After yesterday's great battle, this wealthy woman seems to have made another breakthrough. If she wants, all the female characters on the entire space mothership can become her avatars.

The senior engineer walked into the lobby and saw a blue-skinned girl playing by herself.

That seems to be Frasso's daughter, also of alien lineage. Was she there last night? The senior engineer racked his brains for a while, but there were too many people, and he couldn't remember clearly. Probably not.

The blue-skinned girl was visibly startled when a strange man suddenly appeared. However, the next moment, a glint flashed in her eyes, and the mature, sophisticated look that belonged only to Rose appeared. She looked at the senior engineer and nodded.

"Woke up."

"Um."

"Then come with me."

"Oh."

The blue-skinned girl led the way, and none of the guards blocked their path. As for the senior engineers behind them, apart from some surprise in their eyes, none of them dared to ask any questions.

His Excellency Frasso's bloodline holds a supreme position here.

One mechanical door after another opened and then closed, and the temperature dropped lower and lower.

This is the core of the mothership, where some experimental projects that violated the mechanical laws of the mother city have been transferred.

Because the scope of mechanical commands is limited to this planet; anything outside the atmosphere is no longer considered part of the planet's territory.

Frasso, the alien bloodline, represents not just himself, but a hub in a vast network. The cloud nobles in the sky, the internal conglomerates on the ground, and even the space colonists in extraterrestrial colonies all communicate and operate through him.

Now, this vast network has been inherited by Sister Rose.

She went from being a local tycoon to a global tycoon in an instant.

The senior engineer suddenly felt a lot of pressure. How should he lick her boots to maintain the rich woman's favor?

Upon arriving at the innermost laboratory, the senior engineer saw Sister Rose, dressed in a tight black leather outfit that accentuated her almost explosive figure. Besides her, there was also a middle-aged, lecherous man in a white lab coat in the laboratory, looking smug and self-satisfied.

Rose beckoned with her finger without turning her head.

"Young one, you're here."

Littlefinger puffed out his chest smugly, showing off his name tag that read "Chief Technical Advisor of the Security Corps".

The senior engineer ignored him and walked to Sister Rose's side. The other woman's slender hand skillfully slid down the senior engineer's waist to his buttocks and gave him a hard pinch.

Looking at Rose's pensive expression, the senior engineer gasped. Such a powerful rich woman's instinct.

It hurt quite a bit when I pinched it.

The senior engineer looked across and saw a large number of electronic grids lighting up and disappearing in the void behind a specially made glass. These electronic nodes were far more numerous than the information nodes that the brain could generate.

Another information life?

"I will have Frasso announce to the public that you are Angel's fiancé, so that even if I am not in the desert, you can freely mobilize the resources of the security force."

Rose used an affirmative sentence, not an interrogative sentence, in her statement.

Angel is the name of Fraser's daughter. The little blue-skinned girl has big eyes and a high nose bridge. At such a young age, she has the charm of a Caucasian beauty.

The senior engineer didn't think it was a big deal, after all, he didn't have any integrity and wasn't afraid of losing face.

"That boss of the electronic grid?"

"Um."

As if sensing the commotion outside, thousands of electronic nodes lit up simultaneously, and a large amount of simulated data began to evolve. High-tech office buildings and countless androids stopped in place, their eyes all looking in this direction, their gazes seemingly piercing through space and landing on the two of them.

[Your consciousness exceeds 50 points, completing the exemption for 'Corporate Will']

Rose's face darkened, and the pheromone network was activated. In the next instant, alarms blared from skyscrapers, and countless androids began to move stiffly, their eyes darting around. Some of them even had their heads fall off as they walked.

The office was in complete chaos.

The screen suddenly disappeared.

The electronic grid also seemed to have been severely damaged and began to shrink, while Littlefinger perked up and began frantically collecting mimicry data.

This data contains the company secrets of the "Electronic Grid".

In the cyber testing ground, the corporate organization has become a kind of living entity, with the CEO as the brain, countless employees forming the body, expansion as an instinct, and improving corporate efficiency as a means of faster expansion becoming an important goal for the company.

Some of them connect employees' brains, which saves time on communication.

Some people hold group parties to increase employee cohesion.

Some companies even transform employees into animals as punishment for failing to meet KPIs.

Some companies periodically brainwash employees to strengthen loyalty and increase the cost of betrayal.

Some companies have even evolved into an electronic religion, where, fueled by fervent fervor, they no longer need to pay social security and housing fund contributions.

Corporate entities are ruthless to their employees and ruthless to their executives.

Some executives have been injected with AI seeds and become the CEO's alter ego.

Some executives kill their fathers, mothers, wives, and children to transform themselves into emotionless super managers.

Some management teams delegate some of the brainpower to the company's leader; this is called teamwork and avoids factionalism.

Ultimately, this is under increasingly tighter organizational structures.

A corporate monster has been born.

The person in front of me is one of them.
