The Gene Extraction Fluid

Only the older generation would be so "disrespectful" to the senior engineer.

Xiaoju, a genius mecha girl, was a wild girl who was still wearing open-crotch pants with snot running down her nose when the senior engineer rescued them from Professor Han. She was extremely bold and would dare to slap a young woman's bottom hard if given two pieces of candy.

The senior engineer had also tricked the other party into doing such unethical things quite a few times.

Xiaoju didn't treat the senior engineer as an outsider at all. No matter how capable the consultant was, he was still a consultant from our cable tribe.

"I didn't expect you to come."

The senior engineer looked at the two with some surprise. The one on the left was wearing thick green armor, with biological blades appearing and disappearing at each joint, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura that was almost tangible.

As for the one on the right, it wore very little biological armor, revealing a curvaceous figure, a large spider butt, eight spider spines on its back, and was covered in spider silk. Its bright red eyes were captivating.

Tamil and Daisyra are the backbone of the Hunter faction, respectively the drivers of the Reaper and Spider modules.

"President Du went to her home city for a meeting. She's very powerful now and doesn't need me as her bodyguard anymore. This was a good opportunity, so I came."

Daisy stretched lazily. Perhaps it was just her imagination, but she seemed to be becoming more and more feminine, radiating female hormones and alluring to outsiders.

However, the senior engineer understood that this was all an illusion; this woman was bisexual, both literally and literally.

"Serve the leader at all times!!!" The person next to him puffed out his chest and stamped his feet, almost bowing in salute.

Needless to say, Tamil is a die-hard fan; he probably made a huge fuss about coming.

After more than a month apart, the two have leveled up again. Daisy is level 29 and Tamir is level 27, both of whom are standard elite templates. They have automatically generated hunter talents and have a certain probability of awakening the boss template.

What sets Cyberworld apart from other games is that leveling up is relatively easy, while human modification and tech tree progression are the more challenging aspects.

The path taken by senior engineers is like climbing two technology trees, which is like being attacked from both sides and from both sides, making it particularly difficult to advance.

His henchmen rose through the ranks even faster than he did.

"Professor Han asked me to bring this to you."

Daisy solemnly took out a combination lock box, entered a combination of more than ten digits, and after a creaking sound, the door opened, and thick icy mist emerged from the box.

Ten test tubes were neatly arranged inside the safe.

"These are gene drugs that we extract the most precious genes from marine species we hunt along the coast and then formulate. To suit your physical condition, Professor Han has specially increased the dosage."

The senior engineer took out a tube with great interest.

[Giant squid cells, B+ grade marine beast; implantation can significantly increase physical strength and also has a certain probability of awakening tentacles.]

[Volcanic bacteria, a special type of radiation-induced bacteria, are mutant bacteria extracted from underwater volcanoes. They possess strong survival capabilities and can reproduce even at temperatures as high as 3000 degrees Celsius.]

[The Sulphur Whale, an ancient marine species, was originally a giant whale of the sea. Due to exposure to massive amounts of radiation, it mutated, and its body contains radiation levels comparable to a nuclear bomb. When this whale falls, everything perishes.]

The senior engineer inspected the ten tubes of gene extract and nodded in satisfaction.

"Looks like you guys haven't been idle these past few days."

Tamil interjected, "Not only that, the gene bank we established on the ancient battlefield is nearing completion, with a large number of radiation beast and mechanical beast genes already stored inside."

The senior engineer glanced at the system panel and found that the second task for biologists at the second job advancement, 'Gene Preservation Bank', had reached 67%, and it seemed to be growing quite fast.

This is the advantage of having a faction; some job change quests don't require you to do them yourself. Just pass on the instructions, and someone will naturally complete them for you.

Once the mission is completed, you can use cutting-edge mechanical and biological technologies to give back to your faction, creating a virtuous cycle.

After completing the career changes to either the prosthetic doctor or the biologist, the senior engineer can then begin working on his second purpose for coming to the City That Never Sleeps.

Biological/mechanical deformation.

Or rather, battle transformation.

Some professional knowledge of level 2 civilizations, as well as technology blueprints of level 5 and above, are only available in the advanced map of Nevernight City.

"Both job advancement quests are almost complete, but this is the last quest for the biologist: 'Conduct a large-scale biological experiment.' I need to find a good opportunity to infiltrate it."

Large-scale trials are something only companies can afford to do. Small-group trials like those involving tens of thousands of people, like those conducted by E-Tuobang, do not meet the standards of a systematic approach.

Just as they were having a lively conversation, a scalp started jumping around in front of the engineer's desk. The engineer looked down and realized it was Keiko Matsushima.

She's so short, I almost didn't notice her.

"I heard that one of your girls seriously injured Kobayashi Hidemoto. Is that true?" Keiko's tone was full of schadenfreude.

"Oh, yes, that's true," the senior engineer said, looking at Keiko Matsushima, then remembered, "By the way, you and Daisy are both from the Demi-human Continent, right? Do you know him?"

Keiko Matsushima curled her lip. "That guy comes from a big family, he's got high and mighty standards, he wouldn't even look at us small family members, huh! Serves him right, who told him to offend you, you big bad guy, let's see if he'll still be so arrogant!"

The senior engineer grunted, grabbing the other person's ponytail with one hand, and said, "So you've come back this time to return in glory?"

"Certainly!"

Daisy immediately exposed him, saying, "I do have some things to do and need to go home. But it's different for her. Fatty Xiang would rather marry eight virtual wives than marry her. This girl ran away in a fit of pique."

"Hehehe, Fatty Xiang, that fat otaku, has personality, I like him! I'll create a wife for him later!"

Enraged, Matsushima Keiko jumped over to bite the senior engineer, but he easily dodged her.

Daisy shook her head helplessly, her expression gradually becoming serious.

"I actually brought some bad news with me this time—we found traces of the Knights in the near sea. They seem to have a new leader, and judging from the signs, they seem to be planning to attack the Iron Sand Desert again."

"Is that so?"

The senior engineer let down his ponytail and crossed his arms in thought.

Unlike other waves in the cyber wave, the Knights, or rather the Beast Disaster, is a large, continuous storyline.

Specifically, it manifests as the continuous creation of super monsters, the kind that dominate the sea, land, and air, used to attack mechanical cities in various places, and even directly tear the continent apart.

So if you suddenly see a news report about a super monster that appears out of nowhere, hundreds of meters tall and level 70 or 80, it's undoubtedly the Knights' doing.

Therefore, the other party would not let go of the City That Never Sleeps, or rather, would not give up this 9-3 Guanzhong area. The senior engineer had actually expected this long ago.

If they can't stir up a beast tide from within, are they going to summon monsters from the outside to launch a strong attack?

Perfect timing! I was just wondering what major storyline to find for the players after finishing the City That Never Sleeps.

Players are like huskies; if you don't give them something to do, they'll start watching to see if you can show your health bar.

"It's okay, they do their thing, we'll do ours."

The senior engineer then looked at Xiaoju and asked, "How many mechs did you bring? I only see you as a mech pilot."

"Hehe," Xiaoju puffed out her unremarkable chest, "Advisor, you can't underestimate me now. I, Xiaoju, am someone who can train apprentices now! Gundam! Where the hell are you?"

A fair-skinned, bald man darted out from outside the door, rubbing his bald head as he chuckled and greeted the man, "Hello, boss! This must be the advisor. My name is Gao Da, and I'm the pilot of the second mecha."

The senior engineer gave him a meaningful look.

Oh, it's you, you forum troll.

"Is he capable?" the senior engineer asked deliberately.

"Why not? I trained him!" Xiaoju protested.

Why don't you post about your secret efforts to gain favor with lolis on the forum?

The senior engineer narrowed his eyes, then suddenly smiled and said, "I see you looking around everywhere. Why don't you go down and chat with my new subordinates?"

"No need, no need," Gao Da waved his hand and gave an embarrassed smile. "Advisor, to be honest, I'm a low-key person. I just pilot mechs and stuff. I'll wait until tomorrow on the battlefield to say hello to these... cough, friends."

Oh, so you want to show off in front of everyone, I get it!

The main reason for agreeing to a decisive battle tomorrow, or rather, to take a one-day truce, is that these fourth calamities will "refresh" again in three days.

Gao Jin probably never dreamed that these dead people would come back to life.

In advanced civilizations, resurrection is not a rare occurrence; which member of an advanced civilization doesn't have dozens of lives?

This led to confusion among players in the later stages of the game: were you the players, or were we the players? How come you respawned faster than us?

You guys are the real natural disaster!

However, such resurrection is extremely rare among planetary civilizations.

Even a powerful advanced AI will lose some of its original code and fall into a severely damaged state after being replaced. If its database is hacked by Cyber Hacker at this time, no matter how many clones it has, it will be useless.

After Gao Da went offline, he immediately went on the forum and posted a very special photo: a pure white mecha being assembled.

The following sentence was also attached:

"I don't want to fight, but some things need to be maintained through fighting, so I will fight!"

Below is a series of comments.

When did Da Ge become a riddle teller?

"Brother Da, take me with you, Brother Da!"

"The person upstairs is really ruthless!"

"You're fixing mechs again, OP? What's the point of fixing mechs all day? You might as well be a gatekeeper like me."

"Security guard, please take me with you too~"

---Aside---

I really don't have time today, I'll start catching up tomorrow.
