Fuqing Island

Since the territories of the Welfare Gang and the Evil Gang merged, the security situation has improved a lot. The reason is simple: suddenly there are a lot of strange and kind-hearted people in the neighborhood. They run errands for patients for free, help old ladies cross the road for no reason, and wander around like street urchins, asking everyone they meet, "Do you need help?"

What's even more terrifying is that once gang members appear in the Yiwu district, these weirdos, whose service attitude is comparable to that of nightclub hostesses, immediately transform into cyber psychopaths, taking out all sorts of weapons. Needless to say, they kill not only their enemies but also passersby!

Their methods were so bloody, violent, and cruel that they were even more gangster-like than the mafia itself.

He kept muttering things like "killing monsters" and "stealing bosses".

In the outer suburbs, these people are now called "gangster stressors," meaning that their PTSD flares up whenever gang members are present.

With the strong woman leading the group, under her command, these people acted like unruly huskies, running wild and rolling around everywhere.

The surrounding gangs had tried it before, secretly hiring hitmen or bounty hunters to take care of them.

This is standard practice in the underworld: if they can't kill you, they'll pay someone to do it.

But what's even more terrifying is that no matter how many times they die, their numbers don't decrease.

There is now a rumor that behind these people is a huge android factory that continuously produces this type of android.

This type of strange, powerful, and mentally challenged android.

But to the locals in the outer city, they are true street heroes.

"This is for you!"

A very cute girl, her face flushed, held up a bouquet of flowers. Her eyes were emerald-colored prosthetic eyes, making her look very beautiful.

The muscle-bound brute, who was usually good at C programming, suddenly felt embarrassed. He scratched his head, looked around, and seemed rather shy.

His several muscular teammates were pointing and whispering among themselves.

"Holy crap, even this muscular hunk got a confession! Is spring finally coming for us bodybuilders?"

"My newly implanted chimpanzee-style biceps weren't for nothing."

"Idiot, with that much chest hair, only blind girls would confess their feelings to you!"

"What's wrong with my chest hair? It's mutated chimpanzee genes, strength +3, stamina +4, a top-quality prosthetic body, absolutely top-notch! A bunch of envious and jealous guys."

"I remember now, this little girl seems to be blind. Big Muscle Man took on the task of taking her to repair her prosthetic eye."

The muscular guy said something, and the little girl's eyes reddened. She stuffed the bouquet into his chest, then lowered her head and ran away, wiping away tears as she ran.

"Oh dear, how pitiful! This girl is so cute."

"When did this muscle-bound guy become so manly? Isn't he a great magician who's been single for 30 years? He should be overjoyed if a girl confesses to him."

Amidst the pointing and whispering of his teammates, I, the Muscle Man, walked over with a sigh. Seeing the gossipy looks on everyone's faces, I coughed lightly:

"As a real man, as a player aspiring to join the top tier, I cannot let personal feelings hold me back!" I, Big Muscle, sighed with emotion, exuding the aura of a career-driven macho man.

Speak like a human being!

"Given my perverted nature, if I were to date a young girl, kissing and hugging would be my instinctive reaction. If I were to trigger the anti-pervert system in the game, would I even be able to keep my account? I finally managed to reach level 10, and I was almost ready to change jobs."

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, and one of the teammates started teasing them.

"You can have a purely spiritual love affair with someone."

"I don't like vegetarian food!!"

As the group was chatting animatedly, the Red Flower Demon behind the noodle stall became enraged.

"Damn it, is this restaurant for you guys to chat? Are you finished eating? If you are, get the hell out of here!"

The group of players scattered in an instant.

"Boss Hong, put it in the books! Put it in the books!"

"Holy crap, you guys skipped out on the bill again—"

The Red Flower Fairy cursed loudly, but when she turned around, she saw Uncle Jack with a blank expression. She shuddered in fright and forced a smile, saying, "Uncle, put it on my tab, put it on my tab."

"Your salary for this month is long gone, and you've already used up next month's," Jack said coldly.

"What?! Those bastards! I'll kill them all sooner or later!"

One of the players who skipped out on their bill looked at Red Flower Fairy and said with some confusion, "Is Red Flower Fairy really planning to become a casual player? He was one of the first players to enter the game."

"Everyone has their own ambitions, at least we don't have to pay for noodles anymore."

One player who knew the inside story couldn't help but glance sideways.

"What do you know? In addition to being a gangster thug, they now have a secondary job as a bounty hunter. With the attributes of the two jobs combined, their firepower is just too overwhelming."

"Holy crap, it really is possible to have a second job!?"

As players level up, some hidden aspects of the game are gradually revealed, such as second professions and modification rates.

Meanwhile, in the cybernetic modification shop, a group of young players stared at the cybernetic bodies in the glass case, becoming increasingly disgusted with them.

"Boss, why are all these prosthetic bodies you have blank? Where are all the good ones from before?"

"Yes, our modification rate is limited, we can't afford to waste it."

"I Love Baozi," who has now been promoted to shop owner, rolled her eyes and mercilessly criticized:

"Want advanced cybernetic bodies? Sure, go farm bosses and get advanced cybernetic body plugins, I'll install them for you for free."

"As for the modification rate, don't be ridiculous. At your level, you might not even be able to equip a basic version."

"Then we can wait until we're at a higher level before loading up our goods," a junior player retorted, unconvinced.

"Then good luck. I believe that even without any modifications, you can still dominate the streets."

Baozi sneered. As the game progressed, more and more new players entered the game, and these players were obviously not used to the harsh realities of life. They were all very ambitious but lacked practical skills.

They're still dreaming of advanced cybernetic bodies? Dream on! They're lucky to have a basic one.

In fact, many players, even if they reach the required level, may not be able to find a suitable prosthetic body plugin, let alone find a prosthetic doctor to implant it.

The veteran players who participated in that quest chain back then have now almost all joined the "Mechanical Hunters" faction and are currently working on two large-scale dungeons.

One task is to wipe out all the gangs in the outer city. This is a large-scale, multi-stage mission. Destroying each gang stronghold will increase the mission completion rate and unlock a stage of mission rewards.

Another large dungeon involves going to a map called Iron Sand Desert and killing a monster called "Radiation Beast" along the coast.

The latter offers greater rewards but is also more dangerous. There's also something called a bio-prosthetic body, which Baozi very interesting. After leveling up Doctor Cyber a few more times, he plans to go and take a look.

As the game content became richer, the number of times old friends met began to decrease. It was fine for regular players like Red Flower Fairy and Sister Ji, but everyone else started to let loose.

Black Ice II is going to explore the new map.

Boss Hui left this continent to take over a branch of the family business.

I heard that the plane has recently become very interested in a cult called the "Turing Church".

The security manager reportedly received a company assignment to attend some weapons exhibition.

The gold miners triggered a android quest chain, supposedly to find ancient android parts.

Pipi walks on the road of 007.

Umbrella Bro, needless to say, has already flown to the headquarters of the assassin group to participate in the show's ultimate test, reportedly under the full guidance of Sister Ji.

"Everyone has a bright future," Baozi yawned, pulled out a list, and prepared to consider what goods to stock next.

The boss sublet the shop to him; he'd better not let the shop go bankrupt.

However, with the boss gone missing, even the little angel surprisingly took a day off.

Could these two be secretly meeting up?

In the sea east of Guanzhong, a figure flying at Mach 6 flew at low altitude, so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye. Often, two or three seconds later, the sea surface would explode with a "boom", spraying water as if a bomb had been dropped.

Mach 7, Mach 8, Mach 9.

The advanced engineer's speed gradually began to approach the upper limit of a Level 1 civilization's spacecraft.

Generally speaking, once a certain type of weapon reaches Mach 10, most interception systems of a Level 1 civilization will be unable to stop it.

This refers to weapons; if it refers to people, then it's even less likely.

In civilization, there is a generational gap between weapons and people.

For example, a level 30 intercontinental ballistic missile system is equivalent to the upper limit of a level one civilization. For an ordinary person to possess the firepower, destructiveness, and endurance of a ballistic missile system, they would probably need to reach the technological level of a level two or even a level three civilization.

This involves a large amount of genetic engineering, prosthetic technology, and human modification, things that a Level 1 civilization is not qualified to develop.

This is why, even though the senior engineer has been implanted with several level 2 and 3 weapon prosthetics, he has only been able to reach this speed so far.

To reach Mach 10, your computing speed, defensive capabilities, and even endurance would need to reach an alarming level.

At this moment, the senior engineer vaguely sensed that Mach 10 was his upper limit.

At this speed, it would take less than half an hour to reach Fuqing Island.

"How are you?"

The senior engineer looked down and saw that he was holding the mechanical girl Xiao Yu in his arms. At this moment, the girl's eyes were shining and her face was full of excitement. She didn't seem to feel any discomfort at all.

"No wonder she has three templates; she's incredibly thick-skinned."

Soon, an island appeared in the engineer's field of vision. The colony covered by eight wings began to transform and enter landing mode. At the same time, the mechanical spine bulged up segment by segment, and the whole person looked like an arched steel shrimp.

Under the effect of the talent 'Mechanical Overload', energy nozzles cracked open the skin and shot out beams of energy particles in the opposite direction. Under the influence of the violent power, the particle beams resembled pure white flames, and the high temperature caused the surrounding air to distort.

The senior engineer's figure crashed violently onto a large coastal rock, causing the rock to shatter before landing smoothly.
