The butcher was far less dignified than his appearance suggested. In less than half an hour, Tamil emerged, carrying with him the information he had extracted from him.
[You have obtained the Butcher's exclusive modification technology - Heavy Cannon Modification]
Heavy Artillery Modification: Among the Wild Wolf Gang's illegal modifications, the "human rocket" is the most notorious. This type of tracking rocket is extremely effective against the sheriff's military drones. Precisely because of this, the entire gang received special attention, and their headquarters was directly destroyed by the sheriff's heavy firepower.
"Boss, we've gotten some information from the interrogation: this fat guy seems to have a way to smuggle himself into the City That Never Sleeps."
The senior engineer immediately became interested. With his current status, it wouldn't be difficult for him to get a "City That Never Sleeps Citizen Certificate". However, the City That Never Sleeps is not like the Radiation Desert. Here, as long as you are powerful enough, you can do whatever you want. But in the City That Never Sleeps, the mechanical mainframe monitors everything. If you want to cause trouble in the city, they will come and deal with you immediately.
The mechanical mainframe is a standard level 60 large-scale AI, equivalent to a super-enhanced version of Director Du.
The citizen card serves as both an admission ticket and a form of surveillance.
However, without a citizen's ID, one can hardly move an inch in the city that never sleeps.
According to Tamil, the butcher has a special way to enter the City of Never Sleeps and obtain official status, and does not need to follow the regular route.
The senior engineer returned to the cage. At this moment, the butcher was slumped in the chair, covered in blood, and looked like he had been beaten beyond recognition.
"Turn off the Electronic Barrier."
No matter how powerful your firewall is, it's useless if the hardware is inadequate.
The butcher spat out several mouthfuls of blood, and the electronic shield in his eyes slowly dissipated.
The senior engineer once again used his "Eye of Truth" to forcibly read the other person's memories.
Because the other party was not a company employee and no secure brain implants were placed, the memory reading went very smoothly this time.
"So that's how it is, adoption."
"Adoption? What adoption?"
Suddenly, Director Du's cold voice came from the monitor, startling the senior engineer.
After transforming into "machine will", the entire base became Director Du's eyes and ears. As long as Director Du wanted, the senior engineer had no privacy whatsoever.
That's right, Director Du thought.
The senior engineer gave a wry smile and said, "According to this butcher's memory, there is an adoption program in the old town of the City That Never Sleeps. This program is somewhat similar to the model we had back then, where war orphans were adopted by factories."
"In the city that never sleeps, if some employees of certain companies have an accident, their children will automatically initiate the adoption process. Through the underground channels of the Wild Wolf Gang, they can get me into the adoption list."
"Once the adoption is successful, no citizen card is needed; the guardian will automatically acquire citizenship in the city that never sleeps."
The senior engineer didn't mention one more thing: most of those who enter the city through this channel are planning to cause trouble, and once the incident is exposed, the children of these employees will inevitably suffer a tragic fate.
"So, are you planning to have a son or a daughter this time?" Director Du's voice turned gloomy.
Director Du was furious, and the lighting system of the entire Flame Gate dimmed by three-tenths. Thousands of ancient robots turned their heads to look at the senior engineer, their electronic eyes emitting a scarlet light.
That's fucking terrifying!
The senior engineer coughed lightly, "What a joke, who says that adopted children have to be biological children? Can't I adopt a younger brother or sister?"
Upon hearing this, the gloomy atmosphere surrounding the fire station dissipated.
"Boss, that was terrifying," Tamil said, still shaken. He had just felt a chill run down his spine from the sky.
That looks like an energy cannon from a level eight aircraft!
The senior engineer glanced at the other person and said, "What do you know? Is a rich woman without personality still a rich woman? Or are you saying you don't have confidence in your boss?"
"No, that's not it—"
"Alright," the senior engineer said, pressing down on the other man's shoulder, "Then this matter is in your hands. Get me an adoption permit as soon as possible. Remember, no children under that age, understand?"
Tamil felt as if he had suddenly jumped into a pit.
If everyone's adopted, there's no one left who's older. If this isn't handled properly, he feels like he's about to be hit by an energy blast.
Another day passed
Gao Gong and Du Zhaodi were strolling around the academy, which was filled with children under the age of 10. The composition of the academy was very complex, including newly born Flame Boys, gene slaves, and children of businessmen. They seemed to regard this as an investment.
Regardless of which type they were, they were all wearing the same school uniforms and playing around on the playground. Those who went too far were immediately stopped by the patrolling ancient robots.
The two walked from the Mecha Academy to the Hunter Academy, where the students were no longer children, but mostly young adults. Here, they learned various hunting techniques and earned points through missions for modification.
Instead of killing the butcher, the senior engineer hypnotized him, just like he did with Manager Ji, and monitored him 24 hours a day, making him train a team of prosthetic doctors belonging to the "Mechanical Hunters".
The senior engineer walked to the outside of a classroom and heard a teacher with two heads giving a passionate lecture.
"The great leader defeated the 'false god,' he released the water source, freed the slaves, and gave people their freedom. Everyone should worship him, for he is the most powerful mechanical warrior and the son of the empire. He is destined to lead us to revive a great nation..."
The group of teenagers listened with shining eyes, as if they were reading a thrilling novel.
The senior engineer stared in disbelief at Director Du: "You arranged this?"
Director Du nodded and said calmly, "You can't expect a group of little slaves to know everything all at once, and we weren't lying, were we?"
In Director Du's eyes, these young boys and girls are just ordinary means of production and should not receive preferential treatment just because they are young.
The senior engineer didn't interfere, but changed the subject, asking, "How are you feeling in your new body?"
"It's wonderful, I've never felt this good."
In Director Du's view, countless raw materials are processed, designed by research institutes, and produced in equipment rooms. She finally fulfilled her childhood dream of mastering machinery.
"During our walk, I revised 41 areas that were reducing production efficiency, compiled development plans for 24 new types of mechs, and signed 23 equipment orders. Do you have anything to add?"
What else can a senior engineer say besides "666"?
Transforming into "machine will," Director Du is all liver, and he's a liver god with three different templates.
If it weren't for this great figure, the senior engineer might not have dared to let go.
"By the way, since you're in good shape, let's test your new ability."
Spaceship core
Ocean Planet - Medusa
The senior engineer could clearly feel that the waves were more realistic. In the past, the violent waves would explode into mosaics in the air. After all, maintaining a high-gravity environment while keeping the environment realistic is very difficult.
However, this time, the collision of waves brought with it a thick layer of water vapor.
"I'll give it my all, you can do whatever you want."
The senior engineer stomped his foot and transformed into his complete form. His colony body became a close-fitting metal armor, and the mechanical gun in his hand hummed loudly.
Beneath the enormous shell of the 'complete form,' the banner spear transformed into a hand spear, with each section of the spear shaft spinning at high speed. Any water droplets that landed on it were torn into water molecules, while bio-electric currents as thick as an average person's arm swirled around it.

Note: This is a modified area-of-effect weapon. The incorporation of several precious 'biological materials' has made it even more dangerous in close combat.
At this moment, as the light on the senior engineer's chest grew brighter and brighter, bio-currents crackled across his body, filling the air with brilliant sparks. Simultaneously, the gun also gradually lit up.
On a 500*500 meter expanse of sea surface, there is a network of bioelectric currents.
Battle Flag Mode: An area-of-effect stun skill that assesses the user's awareness. If the assessment fails, the user will be stunned for 1-3 seconds, and the area damage will reach 40%-50% of the main weapon's damage.
In the flash of lightning, the senior engineer resembled Thor from Norse mythology, his entire body covered in energy nozzles, and even his eyes seemed to glow.
Bioenergy and mechanical energy, in their fully formed state and fueled by the carbon atom reactor, finally broke through the million-unit threshold.
Opposite him, Director Du stood calmly, like a pure white flower, as if the storm had shunned her.
However, when she gently grabbed with her palm, the entire sea surface rose half a meter out of thin air. At the same time, a giant sea creature appeared beneath their feet, making them look like ants in the shadow.
A body the size of a whale, an energy nozzle as thick as a water tank, and huge, transparent whiskers.
Holy crap, Kun, it's you again!
With a gentle grab, Director Du pulled out a giant mechanical Kun from the Knights Order.
The senior engineer finally understood what the other party's field was: the shaping field of the mechanical engineering department, a hexagonal field that can be used for both offense and defense, and can also enhance manufacturing.
The giant Kun opened its blood-red maw, like rivers and lakes flowing into a vast ocean, and the violent suction force seemed to truly resemble a level 60 mechanical behemoth.
For a moment, the senior engineer forgot that this was an environmental simulation. Suddenly, six pairs of huge mechanical wings shot out from his back. With a roar, he descended from the sky, his hand spear plunging fiercely into the top of the giant Kun's head.
"Boom"
With a huge explosion, the senior engineer, his entire body covered in black, was ejected from the spaceship's core and crashed to the ground, grimacing but unable to hide his joy.
[Your Gunfighting (Melee) skill has been upgraded to Elite, gaining a new skill: Power Long Weapon Mastery]
Energy Long Weapon Mastery: Advanced Techniques for Operating a Melee Energy Weapon
Suddenly, the steel spear truly transformed into a light spear.
What? You haven't heard of a light spear? You must have heard of a lightsaber, right?
Improving skills through self-breakthrough, rather than through specialization, proved to be more effective.
Energy-based melee skills are extremely rare among all level-two civilizations.
However, when Director Du emerged from the charred core of the spaceship, his face blackened, the senior engineer froze. Oh no, he was really going to be in deep trouble.
The system notification sounded again.
Um?
It upgraded itself?
No.
He glanced at it casually, then narrowed his eyes.
