Battle Angel

In the outer city, the style of street gang fights is both advanced and ancient.

What's advanced is that they use high-end combat cybernetic bodies from the black market, and they might even have a hacked version or two of energy weapons.

But this cannot conceal the fact that their street fights are still a plus version of beer bottles, kitchen knives, and batons.

This is partly due to the unique characteristics of urban warfare, and partly because if you actually manage to develop some heavy firepower, the mechanical mainframe will be cracking down on prostitution and organized crime the next day.

Therefore, Gao Jin did not refuse the challenge from the senior engineer.

Find an abandoned construction site to settle the score, and he can then unleash his full potential.

No matter what kind of schemes or tricks the other side might have, Gao Jin believed that as long as he killed Mr. G, everything would be resolved.

The Guan Yu-themed combat robot stomped heavily on the ground, leaving cracks in its wake.

Fifty mid-level combat robots were his last trump card and his greatest asset in establishing the security company.

In addition, there are thugs, motorcycle gangs, motorcyclists, henchmen of affiliated gangs, and cannon fodder from the Eye Gang on Fuqing Island.

Gao Jin brought nearly three thousand people, although only one-tenth of them were from the Welfare Gang. But when this group marched towards the abandoned construction site, almost half of the outer city was alarmed.

Jack K stood behind the noodle stall, a toothpick dangling from his lips, squinting at the groups of gang members. He even recognized several familiar faces—the psychopathic killers and anti-mechanical militants from the news reports.

"Have you heard about the background of this leader of the welfare gang?" a vendor suddenly whispered gossip.

"Isn't he a native of Fuqing Island?" City dwellers still felt a sense of superiority towards these illegal immigrants.

"No, I mean there's a dark organization behind him."

"The Dark Group, what is that?"

Among the rebels in the mother city, there are not many named and recognized resistance forces, such as the Knights, the android group of Rebellion A, and the hacker group called "Tyria".

These three groups are among the few that dare to claim "I carried out a certain terrorist act," and they constitute organized crime.

There are quite a few forces opposing the mother city, but apart from these three groups, most others are fighting guerrilla warfare.

In the mechanical age, the mother city could extend its reach to any corner of the planet at any time, if it so desired.

In this context, the continuous increase in the number of resistance forces seems quite strange.

Thus, a fabricated "dark group" was born out of public opinion, leading all anti-mechanical actions and expanding its power like an underground spider web.

There are even more exaggerated claims that the mastermind behind this "dark group" is an alien civilization, one of the three planetary masterminds, or an opposition faction within an advanced civilization behind the mother city.

Although these conspiracy theories have become increasingly bizarre and more and more details have become untenable with each spread, more and more people have come to accept the idea of a "dark group."

Not everyone can establish themselves in the city that never sleeps.

After all, no matter how good you are at fighting, you can't beat the mechanical mainframe.

Gao Jin's ability to quickly establish himself and expand his influence, like a "powerful dragon crossing the river," would be inexplicable if he had no one supporting him.

The people of the City That Never Sleeps aren't blind; the 'molecular colony' on Gao Jin's body is a controlled substance from the Mother City.

The forces in the mother city wouldn't openly hand over something like this to him; it would be a weakness.

Then there is only one possibility: the molecular colony on Gao Jin's body is a replica, or even a 'trophy'.

Whose spoils are they?

At this point, the "Dark Group" can go live.

Jack K. scoffed at such remarks.

But he is certain of one thing: there is most likely a technology development team behind this welfare group.

These "melee robots" wielding electromechanical swords do not belong to any robot module on the market.

Through the drone and holographic projection, the group of engineers could almost clearly see the marching route of the Welfare Gang's allied forces.

"It's a pity that heavy firepower can't be used in the city, otherwise if General Quill were in command, these people would have been blown up long ago," Daisy lamented.

"Don't talk nonsense. Also, put the drone away. The City That Never Sleeps is not the Iron Sand Desert. Drones are prohibited from flying in the city. It will be troublesome if the mechanical eyes find out."

The drone's viewpoint is automatically turned off.

The next moment, data streams swept across the senior engineer's eyes, and more than a dozen holographic screens lit up.

With hackers around, who needs drones?

"It's like radioactive beasts fighting over territory. In the world of gangsters, a real fight is more effective than anything else."

"A real fight?" Matsushima Keiko glanced at the other person sideways. "I don't believe a big bad guy like you would actually fight someone in a proper war. You must be plotting something."

"Can you call the calculations on the battlefield a conspiracy? That's called strategy!" the senior engineer said righteously.

At this moment, the group of senior engineers stood on the roof of an abandoned building, watching the dark mass of people pour in through the main entrance.

The players had already hidden themselves properly. According to Baozi, this dungeon was exceptionally difficult, with over two thousand level 10 monsters and hundreds of elite monsters. They had to play cautiously; anyone who dared to be reckless would be a fool.

So when the welfare gang entered this construction site, they were actually facing only one mechanical girl.

Battle Angel Xiao Yu!

Gao Jin squinted, looked up, and saw Mr. G on the rooftop. The engineer smiled slightly and made an international friendly gesture towards him.

Looking at the other person's upside-down thumb, Gao Jin didn't waste any words.

The next moment, the roar of engines, the sparks of electric blades, and the sounds of robots moving filled the air as thousands of gang members pounced on Xiao Yu.

"Holy crap, how dare you hit my wife!"

I, Big Muscle Man, was furious. I got up and was about to rush out, but I was pressed down by Baozi, Red Flower Fairy, and Taidao-san.

"Are you out of your mind?!"

"That's not how you feed kills!"

"I'd give up my life for my wife, but I can't stop spending money on her! Everyone get out of the way, I need to protect her!"

The plane shook its head with a Zen-like expression, put its hands together, and said, "Excessive sexual desire leads to disaster; shaving is used to cure it."

Amidst the worried gazes of countless female fans, Xiao Yu suddenly opened her eyes, the obsession brewing within them like the sharpest blade.

The pupils disappeared, and the eyes turned pure white.

The next moment, the snake blade became completely transparent. Wherever Xiao Yu passed, countless mechanical parts shot into the sky. With a flick of his wrist, the engine implanted in the motorcycle was ignited. At the same time, he lowered his head, dodging several mantis knives. Implanted carbon alloy knives popped out from his heels. The two foot knives were like a burst of rain, and the first bikers who rushed over were all cut down and fell from their horses.

Amidst the dense sounds of snakes and gunfire, a space a meter in diameter around Xiao Yu seemed to have transformed into a pulverizing domain. Her petite figure became a fighting machine, and any weapon or person that entered it would be pulverized.

So what if they're strong? It's the result of their intelligence.

"Boss, your new subordinate is really something—" Daisy and Tamil exchanged a glance, the two battle-hardened mechanical hunters were stunned for the first time since entering the City That Never Sleeps.

The senior engineer remained silent, his eyes scanning the data rapidly. In his "eyes," the simulated data on Xiao Yu's body surface appeared abnormally high.

If the data fluctuation of an ordinary person is 1, that of an experienced combatant is 10, and that of a chip warrior with a combat chip installed is 100, then Xiao Yu's data fluctuation is 1000, and 1000 is only the lower limit; the overall data is still rising.

This number is quite staggering.

This level of performance is equivalent to the result of a data center built by advanced AI operating at full capacity.

It is always the advanced that triumphs over the backward, and high-tech that triumphs over low-tech.

Xiao Yu's strength has nothing to do with whether she is an imperial descendant or not. The main reason is that her information processing system is the most advanced, and this kind of "advanced" is beyond the reach of the current technological level of this planet.

According to the senior engineer, this mentally challenged girl's information processing speed has reached the threshold of information life, and the lowest level of information life is level 60.

"A battle angel, huh?"

In the eyes of the players, their petite wife's figure moved nimbly through the dark crowd, leaving enemies scattered and in chaos wherever she went—she was incredibly heroic!

"So cool! So..."

"This is my wife, my wife, my wife! I'm saying it three times because it's important!"

"Hey female gamer, wake up! You're a woman!"

"Oh, I forgot, this is my husband, my husband, my husband! I'll say it three times because it's important!"

According to the game, Xiao Yu can kill ordinary monsters below level 10 with one strike, elite monsters of level 15 with two strikes, and mini-bosses of level 20 cannot withstand five strikes from Xiao Yu.

This is because Xiao Yu's other advanced template, "Mechanical Woman," is at work.

This "Mechanical Girl" is somewhat similar to Director Du's "Mechanical Girl," except that it's a combat template.

Mechanical Template: Woman of the Machines

Effect 1: Mechanical Slash - Your attack against robots, cybernetic bodies, and mechs +200%, and your attack against mechanical systems +100%.

Effect 2: Mechanical Weakness - Increases your chance to trigger a weak point attack on any mechanical entity by 100%.

Effect 3: Mechanical Witch, you can unleash the ultimate performance of your mechanical body for a short period of time, increasing your attack, defense, and combo damage by 30-60%.

The Brilliant and ferocious prosthetic performance of the Mas is something that most users both love and hate.

However, for Xiao Yu, this kind of mechanical body with extreme performance has already begun to hinder her performance.

With the added bonus of the "Battle Angel" template, even a basic attack can be amplified by 400% to 600%, and the attack power of the One-Patterned Serpent Blade is 500, which means that her normal damage is between 2000 and 3000.

This is just a basic attack; if it's a skill attack, it can even approach the damage of an energy weapon!

That's a melee attack!

Which gang member could withstand such horrific harm!

More importantly, the concept of stamina does not exist for fully mechanical beings. In other words, as long as the opponent's energy is not exhausted and the mechanical being is not damaged to a certain extent, it can be killed indefinitely.

Gao Jin clearly knew this, and his face had turned ashen.
