Urban Spy Girl

The alienation resulting from bioengineering is normal.

In the eyes of mutant massage therapists, alienation equals evolution.

However, not every biological bloodline can 'evolve'. The next three bloodlines, 'Sulphur Whale', 'Berserker Shark', and 'Styx Jellyfish', only brought the senior engineer three talents, without any skills.

These are 'Corrosive Liquid Immunity', 'Wisdom Tooth Hyperplasia', and 'Styx Perception'.

Of these, only the first one works in certain spray-inducing scenarios; the latter two are unreliable. The former accelerates wisdom tooth growth, turning you into a shark-like creature, while the latter allows you to capture hidden information in certain sea areas containing special information. This talent is useless for advanced engineers, but quite useful for One Piece players.

Each of these three bloodlines grants the senior engineer 2000 points of bioenergy, as well as a 1-point modification rate to the digestive, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems.

With the addition of 6,000 bioenergy from the volcanic bacteria, 2,000 bioenergy from the giant squid, and the implantation of five tubes of gene extract, a total of 14,000 bioenergy points were added, bringing the senior engineer's bioenergy to 22,210 points.

This kind of increase is quite alarming.

This is the benefit of becoming a faction leader—the power of the entire faction is at your service.

For a normal player, even with high-level combat power, acquiring any one of these items would take a month of effort.

Only when thousands of skilled hunters work for you can you acquire so many high-level bloodlines that match your skills.

From this perspective, the title "Sea King" is truly fitting.

However, after implanting five advanced bloodlines in a single day, the senior engineer had almost reached his limit.

If we force it in again, either the superior bloodline will rebel, or the Crimson Queen will rebel.

After all, this top-tier biological plugin is only activated and has not yet been fully integrated with him.

Even so, the entire house was filled with a terrifying pressure, as if facing a horde of beasts. Several players who came to fix the minor bugs almost "disconnected" as soon as they entered the door.

"Damn, the game's balance is getting worse and worse," Red Flower Fairy complained.

"It's because it wasn't in closed beta."

"Come on, if it really goes into closed beta, you guys will probably complain about not being able to get a trial account again," Baozi complained.

"Waaaaaahh..."

The last to speak was PP, who was tied up hand and foot. Luckily, this was an outer district where robbery and murder were not illegal, otherwise, if they had tied someone up in broad daylight, the security officers would have surely come and questioned them.

"Boss, we're here."

"This prosthetic doctor's modification room isn't very big," Sister Ji said, walking at the back. She glanced around with some disdain before fixing her gaze on Engineer Gao.

"It's you! You handsome guy!!!"

The next moment, a current spread from Sister Ji's heart to her whole body. Her heart pounded wildly, her eyes lit up with hearts, her face turned red, and her tentacles twisted into pretzel shapes.

The senior engineer smiled slightly at her, and the Neptune bloodline instantly boosted her adrenaline.

"I said we would meet again."

Sister Ji's legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground with a thud.

"Sis, I can't take it anymore, my heart is pounding too hard. I need to log off and watch a couple of action movies to calm down. You guys keep doing your missions."

After saying that, the woman rolled her eyes and died on the spot—no, she logged off.

"Holy crap, Sister Ji, what are you doing?!" Big Muscle Man was startled.

The plane gave the muscular man a cold look. "I have already entered the monastic life, please don't use the word 'do' on me anymore."

Several people hurriedly dragged Sister Ji to the sofa. Baozi wiped his sweat and forced an explanation. "Boss, she has heatstroke. She'll be fine after a rest."

The senior engineer nodded as if he hadn't noticed, and said, "You've brought her. Is this her?"

"It's her, it's her."

Several people quickly pressed the bound buttocks onto the operating table. The senior engineer glanced at the other party, activated the hacker chip's 'electromagnetic short circuit,' and the buttocks' sunglasses 'clicked' and shut down completely.

When you open their sunglasses, you see panda-like eye circles, the kind with a clear black and white contrast.

"My goodness, how long has Pipi been working on this? Is he crazy?"

The senior engineer lifted the other person's hair and saw the 'stitching' marks, then tore off the bandage around the other person's mouth.

"Company survival rule number five: fleeting passion is worthless; only lasting passion is profitable. Let me go, I need to go back to work overtime!!"

"Ah~ Hello, handsome guy, are you a male?"

Upon seeing the senior engineer, PP's instinct as a "great food connoisseur" was briefly triggered, but it was quickly replaced by his workaholic spirit.

"Let me tell you the truth! Even if you put two incredibly handsome men in front of me to film a kissing scene, I absolutely won't be interested. Get me back to work now, the company needs me!!!"

Without saying a word, the senior engineer continued to gag her.

"You all go out first. I'm going to perform surgery on her to remove the brain chip."

"Okay, boss, then we'll wait at the door."

Although Baozi was a little disappointed that he couldn't see his boss undergo surgery, he still thought his old friend's brain was more important.

The group of people, knowing the situation, tactfully withdrew outside.

"Brother Hui, what happened just now—damn, you're so sweaty! Did you wet your pants?!"

The red flower fairy's words drew everyone's attention to the eldest brother, Hui, and they then discovered that the baby-tempered Hui was covered in sweat, except for the pacifier.

The temperature in the game isn't high either; it's not real life.

With difficulty, Brother Hui snapped his fingers, and soon a mafia henchman handed him a cup of energy-restoring dairy product. Brother Hui drank the milk like it was wine, and after a long while, he finally let out a milk burp, looking terrified, and said:

"This boss is terrifying."

"What's wrong with my boss?" Baozi was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he had ever seen Boss Hui with this expression.

"You all 'disconnected' just now, right?" Big Brother Hui looked around and, after confirming with everyone, rubbed his rosy cheeks. "Is it possible that you weren't disconnected, but rather that you were stunned into a daze by that person's aura?"

Everyone was stunned. After a long while, the muscle-bound guy finally couldn't help but say:

"Boss Hui, what you're saying is way too exaggerated. If that's really the case, what level would this boss be? The absolute ceiling of power on our planet?"

Baozi pondered for a moment, then said, "Brother Umbrella is the most qualified to speak on this matter. I remember the boss gave him special training for a while. By the way, Brother Umbrella, why didn't you go up?"

He sighed, carrying a knife but no umbrella on a rainy night. "The mission wasn't completed. I'm too embarrassed to face anyone."

"You were quite open on TV," Red Flower Fairy muttered to herself, but fearing being killed by Umbrella Brother, she didn't say it aloud.

Umbrella Bro thought for a moment and said:

"During special training, in training mode, I can't withstand three moves; in normal mode, I can't even last one move."

"So powerful!?" Baozi was stunned. Although he had guessed that his boss was strong, he did not expect him to be this strong.

"Rumor has it that this is the mastermind behind everything."

The muscular guy looked at Baozi and said seriously, "Are you guys hiring? I don't mean anything by it, I just want to get some experience."

"I feel this person is better than my old man!" The eldest brother, Hui, said with certainty.

The young players made wild guesses for a while until the gate reopened. They then crawled back inside, their attitude changed drastically, now looking as if they were ready to bow down at any moment.

On the operating table, Pipi was sitting with his head covered, his expression very strange, a mixture of shock, fear, grievance, and a hint of anger.

Sister Ji, who had already woken up, was comforting the other person.

"Pipi, are you alright?"

"It's alright, but I feel like I'm a bit of an idiot."

"You just installed a chip, and your personality has changed so drastically?" Even now, the Red Flower Fairy still finds it hard to believe.

"It's not just about chips; as required by the company, I recite the company's motto every day to motivate myself."

A flicker of lingering fear crossed PP's eyes.

"Then, I saw the company's will!"

What is corporate will?

"You can think of it as a kind of collective consciousness, or rather, a super AI," the senior engineer said without turning his head, while wiping his hands.

"Can we take it down?" Big Muscle asked.

"Unless you can destroy this company, it won't work."

"Beautiful Interconnect Company recently spent 100 million to sign contracts with three top security companies," PP's boss said quietly. "As far as I know, any one of those three security companies can pull out hundreds of fully mechanically modified individuals, the level 30 kind."

Big Muscle Man immediately backed down, "Then let's switch to another gang. Anyway, there's more than one game like this."

"The companies in the City That Never Sleeps are even more ruthless than the mafia; they basically all sign life-or-death labor contracts," Big Brother Hui shook his head.

What is a life service contract?

"It means that all your labor must be dedicated to the company until you die, unless the company goes bankrupt and you are auctioned off as a company asset."

"If Pipi defectes, he'll probably be 'reclaimed by the company', which basically means he'll be hunted down by NPCs."

"Holy crap, isn't this slavery?"

"Postmodern slavery."

Baozi and the others were at a loss. Unless they changed the map, there didn't seem to be any good solutions. However, if PP leader changed the map, it would be difficult for them to meet again in the future.

There are no teleportation points in this game.

Sister Ji turned her gaze to Engineer Gao and asked in a coquettish voice, "Boss, what's your idea?"

The senior engineer turned around, revealing a smile that dazzled the other person.

"Perhaps you could work for me," the senior engineer smiled slightly, "Do you want revenge?"

The PP boss hesitated for a moment, "You mean, you want me to be a corporate spy?"

With a "ding," PP's boss received a mission.

Urban Spy Girl

Difficulty: Hard

Mission briefing: You want revenge against Beautiful Interconnect, while this mysterious person wants to obtain first-hand business intelligence. The two hit it off immediately.

Mission objective: Obtain the desired business intelligence.

Mission Rewards: 4000 experience points, one specialized modification, and one chip implantation.

Note: What could be more interesting than taking down a regional hegemon in a cyber society?

PP's boss didn't immediately accept the assignment; she was starting to have PTSD from this kind of impromptu task.

"What about my 'workaholic' chip? Should I have it implanted back in?"

"I will install a backdoor on your chip, so that you can maintain a certain level of consciousness and stop the chip from running at any time."

Pipi asked for everyone's opinions in the group.

"What are you waiting for? Accept it, Butt! This is a hidden mission!" Baozi

"Yeah, and more importantly, the boss is so handsome! Now I can interact with him all the time!" Sister Ji sent a string of heart emojis.

In the end, it was her older brother Hui's words that moved her.

"A regional trust cannot be brought down in one or two moves, so this should be a long-term task."

"If you want to stay in the top tier of players, taking this quest will only bring benefits, not harm."
