It's the seventh day since the senior engineer arrived at the Sky Carrier.

When he woke up in the king-size bed again, he began to seriously consider whether he should get a kidney transplant.

Even though the enemy outnumbers us, this humble general is indeed struggling to hold on.

As for other organs, there's no need for them; Rose has a particular fondness for tentacles.

With his legs feeling weak, he got out of bed, washed up, and then, wearing only a bathrobe, used his highest authority to enter the core area.

No one stopped them along the way.

After all, he became the son-in-law of the security forces through his own abilities.

Some people are heartbroken, wondering how they could do such a thing to Princess Angela at such a young age.

Others are also heartbroken, but their targets are different.

Consultant Gao is such a strong man, how did you, Princess Angela, at such a young age, manage to make him pale, with dark circles under his eyes, and his legs spinning?

What will you be like when you grow up?!

The senior engineer first went to the most central laboratory, the one where the rich woman pinched his buttocks.

With Littlefinger gone, Rose floats alone in the "Electronic Grid," seemingly forcibly absorbing the power of this corporate monster.

The senior engineer didn't disturb them. Instead, he went to another empty laboratory, twisted his neck, and began his own human body modification.

To be precise, it was the implantation of a colony.

He glanced at the system panel and first leveled up his main profession to level 9 of the second job advancement, which cost him 300,000 experience points.

The level eight upgrade increased his strength by 15 points, perception by 10 points, intelligence by 9 points, and free attribute by 10 points.

Without hesitation, the senior engineer added all 10 points of his free attribute to Endurance.

There is a theory that increasing endurance can improve the success rate of human modification.

It's definitely not for any other reason.

Absolutely not!

Open the attribute panel of the colony.

Name: colonial army

Category: Advanced Mechanical Inserts

Quality: Level 1 Civilization - Epic (High-Tech)

Weight: 15.7kg

Transformation skills: Mechanical weapon transformation, Neuron Armor, Free Armor

Mechanical weapon transformation: Can transform into any melee weapon or small-caliber powered weapon (level not lower than rare).

Neuronal Armor: Localized armor, half-body armor, full-body armor; spontaneously adjusts in response to stimulation of the nervous system; defense value: 3000

Free Armament: Can freely transform according to the host's needs, including but not limited to the claws of mechanical beasts, the barrels of kinetic weapons, and the abdominal armor of large mechanical bodies.

Requirements: 60% renovation rate, 70% compatibility, 40% inheritance rate

Note: The reason why black technology is called black technology is because it cannot be replicated by other technologies at the same level. The Colony is such a unique mechanical weapon.

According to the system's classification, equipment is divided into blank (mass-produced), fine (custom template), excellent (war weapons), rare (strategic weapons), epic (cutting-edge technology), and epoch-making (cross-civilization).

Among them, "White" increases peripheral attributes, "Fine" increases skill bonuses, "Superior" increases common skills, "Rare" increases temporary status effects, and "Epic" increases a series of skills, representing a groundbreaking breakthrough in civilization limits.

However, once the equipment reaches a high level, a certain threshold is required.

Among them, "excellent" requires a transformation rate.

In addition to the modification rate, "rarity" also requires compatibility.

An "epic" item requires a certain level of modification rate, compatibility, and inheritance.

As for "epoch-making", it requires specialized auxiliary equipment built with "professional knowledge chains".

From a player's perspective, it's perfectly normal for a high-level character to use high-quality weapons from a lower-level civilization.

The reason is simple: the higher the quality of the equipment, the higher the requirements.

For example, the 60% modification rate of the colony is something that most players can only achieve at level 40 or 50.

What if it doesn't achieve the desired effect? Of course, you can force it in, but what kind of effect it will produce, only God knows, you know, I don't know.

The beauty of taking the integration route lies in the fact that its mechanical modification rate and biological modification rate can be superimposed.

The current mechanical modification rate of the high-tech equipment is 33%, and the biological modification rate is 39%, which just meets the equipment requirements.

[Upon inspection, your system modification rate is 72%, which meets the equipment requirements.]

[Ding! Your equipment compatibility has been determined to be 90%]

Compatibility: This equipment must have been fused with your very essence, otherwise it wouldn't be so perfect.

[Beep beep beep, your equipment inheritance level has reached 60%]

Inheritance: You are on an upgrade path that has never been seen on this planet before. Although the future is uncertain, you have vaguely touched a certain threshold, and the colony is willing to lend you a hand.

Looking at the instructions on the system panel, the senior engineer breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, what he was most worried about was this "inheritance level," which was the only option that could be upgraded through missions.

In the previous life, all high-level equipment would inevitably have a legacy system.

This kind of inheritance is either through blood ties or master-disciple relationships. In more extreme cases, it requires civilization reputation, such as the unique equipment of certain civilizations.

Once the fusion path reaches level 20, it can basically transform.

Although the senior engineer has not yet found a suitable object for transformation.

But clearly, the Colony prefers this approach, as it is itself a transforming type of equipment.

Otherwise, the inheritance rate wouldn't have reached 60%.

Generally speaking, the maximum inheritance level for newly acquired high-level equipment is 30%.

The senior engineer had an idea, and the human implantation began.

Advanced mechanical implants like these come with their own "installation package" and do not require complicated implantation surgery.

The next moment, the mechanical armor plates that appeared on Sister Rose appeared on Senior Engineer's body, like scales, constantly emerging from the skin layer and then retracting, seemingly testing the skin system's capacity to withstand the load.

This change also occurs simultaneously in four systems: the musculoskeletal system, the nervous system, the circulatory system, and the respiratory system.

This is somewhat similar to the humanoid mecha transformation of Anna, but it is obviously much more advanced.

This is because it does not come at the cost of destroying the human body's systems, but rather actively cooperates with them.

In other words, even if a colony is implanted, it will not affect subsequent human modification.

As the colonists gained a clearer understanding of the human body, the senior engineer could clearly feel that there seemed to be a richer kind of 'blood' flowing inside the body.

This flow seems to change with one's own thoughts, hard when desired, soft when desired.

[Your movement system modification rate +5%]

[Your neural system modification rate +5%]

[Your circulatory system modification rate +5%]

[Your respiratory system modification rate +5%]

[Your Mechanical Energy +3000]

[Your strength permanently +5]

[Your weight has permanently increased by 15.7kg]

[You have gained basic mechanical sense]

[Corpse modification successful]

At this moment, the senior engineer's entire body turned bright red, like a molten branding iron, with blue smoke rising from his body. He exhaled a long breath that smelled of rust, and a thought occurred to him.

The next moment, undulating silvery-white scales covered all parts of the body, completely enveloping it.

The senior engineer's heart skipped a beat, and he looked down at his crotch.

He suddenly had a bold idea.
