This is a battle between Huawei and Baidu.

Seeing this, the senior engineer finally understood why the Elisa in the player's memory was not the one in front of him.

Even among these big data monsters, there is competition and conflict.

They also covet the power of their opponent.

As a search engine for cyberspace, Elisa has mastered 90% of the simulated data in cyberspace.

As a global signal base station, the Pipeline Overlord controls the neural signals of the entire Machine Rift Star.

Hardware Monster wants to acquire Software Master, while Software Master also wants to turn Hardware Monster into a downstream manufacturer.

The clash between two level 90 big data monsters essentially represents the pinnacle of combat power in the Cyber Test Site.

Countless black pipes descended from the sky; some were real-world arcades, some were signal collectors built into electronic products, and some were corporate super signal towers, such as the Arasaka Tower.

Businesses value commercial data, leading to the existence of various data havens (real-world data centers) in cyberspace. However, they pay little attention to neural signals.

Another point is that neural signals can be converted into simulated data, but simulated data cannot be converted back into neural signals.

This also resulted in the Pipeline Dominator naturally restraining the Mother of Data, meaning Elisa could only defend and could not attack.

Upon seeing this, Xiuyue smiled slightly.

However, as the top-ranked "Mother of Data" among the big data monsters, Elisa was not just a nobody. Soon, the water began to turn murky, with red seawater, black seawater, and bubbling seawater. Each of these special types of seawater was a kind of cyberspace virus.

Roughly speaking, there are probably thousands of such viruses.

Once the black pipe is inserted into this seawater, it will be corroded, and the virus's light will even spread along the pipe to the sky.

Above the sky, a colossal object made of intertwined pipes loomed in and out of sight, its immense aura causing the seawater to boil.

[Neural signal stripping begins. Your willpower exceeds 100 points. Saving pass granted.]

[Neural signal stripping begins; your willpower exceeds 150 points; saving throw successful]

Even senior engineers are starting to feel the strain, and their past memories are beginning to fade.

A large amount of strange data covered his body surface, and the "missing user data" bug began to help him offset this pressure.

"Tomorrow's news is going to be interesting."

The senior engineer grumbled, and suddenly Elisa's somewhat tired voice echoed in his mind.

"Child, I need your help."

"Of course, no problem at all."

The senior engineer relinquished control over the 'bug'.

The next moment, a series of electronic crawlers with more legs than spiders suddenly appeared. They crawled on the engineer's body, and the strange data on his body was quickly crawled away by the crawlers. The skill "User Data Missing" turned gray.

In a sense, these crawlers are Elisa's true form.

[Level 90 Data Mother, Elisa's favorability towards you +2000]

Tsk, as expected, a life-saving favor comes quickly.

This generation's Elisa absolutely must survive!

The favorability ratings for different versions of the big data monsters cannot be inherited.

"If the next version of the Data Mother is created, all the goodwill I've gained will have been for nothing."

As if sensing what the senior engineer was thinking, a reptile suddenly crawled into his mouth.

The senior engineer suddenly lost his footing and fell directly into a sea of data.

The next moment, the senior engineer seemed to transform into a crawler, able to appear on any data fragment whenever he wished.

The feeling of jumping between data is very interesting, just like browsing the news, only a thousand times faster.

The more advanced engineers see, the faster their neural signal conversion speed becomes.

[Your perception +1]

[Your perception +1]

[Your perception +1]

Perception was increased by a full 20 points.

[Your data enlightenment is complete; you have gained the talent 'Data Transformation']

Data conversion: You can switch freely between neural signals and simulated data.

[Your perception has reached 104 points, you have been enhanced. Please select your enhancement direction.]

[Memory digitization, sensory manipulation, brain backup]

The concept of digitizing memory is easy to understand; it means storing memories in external devices and retrieving them when needed.

Sensory adjustment is also very simple; for example, you can adjust the pain level to 0 or 200%.

However, the senior engineer did not hesitate to choose a third option: "Backup brain".

[You have chosen to back up your brain and are now repartitioning it.]

Backing up the brain: In the event of brain death, all your memory data will be stored in a hidden disk in the brain. Once the brain is located, your consciousness can be reconstructed, and you can be revived.

"By the way, you're looking for me to become Cyber Hacker, right?"

"I'll help you out one more time."

In a hazy state, the senior engineer seemed to hear Elisa's voice.

The next moment, a large amount of information was displayed again.

The senior engineer's long-cherished goal has finally been achieved.

[You have acquired a new profession Cyber Hacker, and learned the skill 'Basic Simulated Signal Analysis']

This skill is typically used in conjunction with a "network access pod" to sense and analyze virtual sensory data.

[You have acquired the new profession of Cyber Hacker and obtained the Level 1 Human Body Technology Blueprint 'Network Matrix Type 1']

This is a blank network access module; it has no slots, no attribute enhancements, and only provides basic data analysis.

[You have mastered the professional skill "Simulation Data Programming"]

Simulated data programming: Receives simulated data converted from bioelectrical signals and develops and edits virtual programs.

[You have grasped the knowledge of "Virtual Invasion"]

[You have grasped the knowledge of cyber programming languages]

[Your understanding of the knowledge in "The Electronic Hacker's Handbook"]

"I'll be leaving for a while, and during that time, I'll be entrusting the child to you. I can feel that you genuinely care about this child."

"Also, resolve Gao Yuanyuan's real-life issues as soon as possible. If problems arise in the real world, she will also disappear."

The senior engineer felt his body sinking continuously.

It sank, and sank again, until it touched the seabed.

Then the senior engineer woke up.

The senior engineer sat up and looked at Ah Hong, who had also woken up beside him.

"Oh, you're still alive."

Ah Hong was taken aback for a moment, then said with displeasure, "Why are you cursing people!"

He then realized something, his expression changed, and he quickly pulled out a network implantation device and hung it on his head.

"Artificial intelligence, conducting a human brain server examination."

"Yes, Master," the AI voice of Adorlu responded, "Searching, 1%, 2%, 4%... 68%."

"It has been confirmed that a segment of your memory data was deleted between 11:13 and 11:23."

"Damn it, which bastard deleted my memory!"

Ah Hong was both shocked and furious. The person who could erase his memories without him even realizing it was definitely a master hacker, and a master among masters.

"Hey, what do you know?"

Upon seeing the senior engineer approaching the door, Ah Hong quickly asked.

"Here's a hint for you, Pigsy."

"Ha???"

Early the next morning

"The City Never Sleeps, Channel Three, reports that a large-scale memory disorder incident occurred this morning. Couples cannot remember each other's faces, fathers and sons are vying to be the father, and best friends have become enemies."

"Based on our current understanding, this memory confusion has spread globally, affecting the entire District 22..."

Several senior executives of Nevernight City were dismissed due to missing important business data. These included Dong Gang, head of Life Sciences and the Neural Splicing Project; and Ohno, chief scientist of the Skeletal Mechanics and Human Alloys division...

According to a television interview with Turing Church evangelist, this is a sign of worldly chaos.

Due to memory loss, the low-tech tribe in the outer city cannot identify their leader, leading to a massive firefight. So far, 361 people have been injured and 97 have died.

I love Baozi. I was munching on a protein Baozi I bought while watching TV with great interest, and I didn't even notice when the senior engineer walked in.

"Cough, cough, boss, I've finished cleaning and the customer registration forms for today are done." Upon seeing Engineer Gao, Baozi quickly finished his steamed Baozi in a few bites and stood up.

"Okay, you can go now."

"Go out?" Baozi asked, startled.

"Didn't you tell me you were asking for leave yesterday?"

"Oh, I remember now, I'll be right there."

Baozi opened the group chat while rubbing her temples.

"How could we forget about something as important as completing a mission, brothers? Get ready to log in and cause some trouble!"

When we arrived at the entrance of the capsule hotel, I, Big Muscle Man, Red Flower Fairy, Airplane, and Black Ice No. 2 looked like they had been waiting for a while.

"Umbrella Bro didn't come?" Baozi looked at Big Muscle.

"I messaged him, but he didn't reply."

"Forget it, time waits for no one, let's go straight to Plan Two," Baozi decided immediately.

The five of them waited for almost 20 minutes, but Mei Yangyang still didn't appear.

"Where's PP?" Baozi's expression turned a little ugly. It wasn't that he couldn't wait for the girl, but it depended on the time. They were doing a mission, and he was late. Wasn't that a bit too much?

From what I remember, this girl was quite reliable, except that she didn't talk much.

Based on past experience in team formation, you would have to quickly get rid of someone and recruit another.

But the key is that you can't dump people at this point.

The reason is simple: as the only neural editor in the team, PP's skill list includes the skill of "hacking cameras," which is the core of the plan.

"I messaged her," Feiji hesitated for a moment, then said, "And she replied with a question mark."

"Ha?"

Baozi's mind is full of questions now.

"Forget it, let's just go to her birthplace and find her!" Baozi took a deep breath and said, suppressing his anger.

As a player who comes from a business background, PP Touzi works for a company called "Meihao Internet".

It took the five of them 40 minutes to reach the entrance of the other company, where they saw PP's boss looking around curiously, seemingly strolling around.

"Butt!" She quickly greeted the plane she was most familiar with, trying to ease the tension.

The leader of PP paused for a moment, then hesitated and asked, "You guys are players too?"

"Butt, hurry up and form a team, there's no time," Baozi said.

"But I don't know you guys?" the PP leader asked, puzzled. "Are you forming a team to do a quest?"

"Butt, you specially brought me three skewers of cockroaches yesterday, do you remember?" Red Flower Fairy asked tentatively.

"Cockroach skewers? I never eat that stuff."

The Red Flower Fairy's face darkened. So you gave it to me because you didn't want to eat it.

Baozi opened his mouth, when suddenly a thunderbolt flashed through his mind.

Holy crap, no way, this "memory confusion" can actually affect the players?!
