Three Certificates of Mastery

There are three types of human mechanical systems. The Mad Dragon is the orthodox type, like a certain Optimus Prime, who is born with a strong mechanical aura.

The shapeshifters have a wider range of applications and can get along with anyone, leaning towards support roles. As for the mechanical assassins, they are standard evil characters, very much in the deranged faction.

If we're talking about leadership, Kuanglong would definitely be more suitable.

However, by taking the integration route, the shapeshifters are better able to leverage their advantages.

"Let's choose the Shapeshifter."

"I will follow your orders, boss."

Just as the senior engineer was about to maximize the modification rate of his mechanical body, an accident occurred.

In the forum, in Sister Ji's small group.

"I'm hanging up." I love Baozi.

"???" I am the Muscle King

"Hohoho" cross-dressing man

"What's going on?" Sister Ji

"I don't know—" Baozi sent a confused emoji, "My vision just went black, and I suddenly got disconnected. I can't even open the system panel."

"@RedFlowerFairy, you're closest to the ramen vendor, go check it out," said Sister Ji.

"Okay!"

After a while, the Red Flower Fairy reappeared.

@I love Baozi, there's no one in your shop. I haven't seen a person or a corpse.

"That's strange. Am I being controlled?"

"..." The rich woman's little wolfhound

In the game, a figure shot across the sea like a rocket, quickly reaching Mach 10.

That figure was Miller.

The arrogant smile on this man's face remained unchanged, and he was carrying a person in his hand. At Mach 10, the person's skin rapidly cracked and his blood volume plummeted.

The one who was caught was Baozi.

"Baozi's gone?" the senior engineer muttered to himself. "Hey A, can you check what's been going on in the news in Never Sleeps lately?"

"Reporting to Master, the Upper and Middle Districts of the City That Never Sleeps were attacked. The Mech Goddess turned the tide and repelled the enemy."

"The machine gunnery has been attacked! Who attacked it?"

"It's unclear. There are currently twenty-six interview programs discussing this issue. The only thing we can be sure of right now is that the attacker is a humanoid creature, and the satellite surveillance system captured a blurry image of him."

In the holographic projection, a blurry figure with hands on hips floated in mid-air, displaying an extremely arrogant posture.

The ground beneath his feet was the site of the welfare home.

"That reckless posture, that arrogant aura—he's 100% from a high-ranking noble family, and most likely here to see me."

"This is a bit of a problem; I'm in surgery right now."

On the operating table, a body, cut into pieces, has its internal mechanical components being modified by dozens of robotic arms.

With a thought, the chunk of flesh slid off, reformed into a human shape, grew facial features, and became a senior engineer.

"Dr. Rong, how much longer will it take to complete the surgery?"

"About an hour and a half."

"Activate all defense systems on the island," the senior engineer decided immediately.

"Yes, boss."

"Xiao A, call Xiao Yu and the mecha soldiers back. The enemy is very dangerous and they are not capable of dealing with them in their current state."

"Yes, Master."

At the same time, the senior engineer appeared in the brain, while Gao Yuanyuan was still in a sleeping beauty state, except that her fair face showed more pain.

"Are they from the City in the Clouds?" Bird of Paradise asked with a serious expression.

"They're from the Cloud Kingdom, but they're probably not here to cause you trouble. Their target is my sister."

"According to the news, weren't all those people in the sky killed by the two of you?" Ah Hong couldn't help but ask.

"We didn't kill everyone; there wasn't enough time," Bird of Paradise said coldly. "We just hacked into the sub-light-speed engine of that orbital space station and exiled that junk into space."

"There's another point. Although the majority of the Cloud Nobles are extravagant, lazy, and complacent, there are also many super strong individuals among them. They control the wealth of the old era in one hand and the technology of the new era in the other. These people are the backbone of the Cloud Nobles. And this type of Cloud Noble does not actually live in Cloud City."

The senior engineer added a point.

"Do you need my help?" the bird of paradise asked.

"No, given the nature of those people, once you show yourself, they'll definitely report you. At that point, we'll be facing an overwhelming army from the mother city."

The more critical the situation, the calmer the senior engineer remained.

If the enemy can escape unscathed from the machine, then they are most likely a level 60 player. And given the path taken by the Cloud Nobles, there is a 90% chance that they are on the forbidden modification path, which involves implanting all sorts of random alien bloodlines.

"It's a bit troublesome, but not particularly troublesome."

I glanced at the game panel and saw that my experience points were just over ten million.

After thinking for a moment, the senior engineer invested two specialization points and 100,000 experience points to upgrade "Bullet Time" to expert level, and then invested another five specialization points and 300,000 experience points to upgrade the entire skill to master level.

The expert-level "bullet time" provides two options: an "artificial electromagnetic barrier" to protect against kinetic weapon attacks, and an "artificial particle barrier" to protect against energy weapon attacks.

The senior engineer chose the second option.

The 'Artificial Particle Barrier' that is upgraded to the Master level is directly promoted to the 'Particle Disruption Field'.

Particle Disruption Field (Master): Creates a large particle disruption field. In the entire field, all energy structures will be disrupted, and the activity of all ordinary particles will be disturbed.

[You have upgraded the Particle Disruption Field (Master) to its maximum level and obtained the Master's Certificate (Level 2 Civilization)]

Master's Certificate (Level 2 Civilization): Your exceptional skills have earned worldwide recognition; no one can defeat you in your area of expertise.

Particle disturbance field max: You are not interfering with the flow of energy, but rather causing particles to undergo a massive increase in entropy, which is the way of the universe.

Using the same method, upgrade Gunfighting to Expert, then invest 5 Specialization Points and 500,000 Experience to upgrade the skill to Master.

Melee skills require more experience to upgrade than ranged skills.

The expert-level "Gunfighting Technique" offers three options: Ancient Gun Spirit, Possessed Energy Gun, and Lock-on Thunder Gun.

"Ancient Gun Soul" is the pinnacle of melee weaponry. If one had to describe it, it would be like the gun in Li Ruohai's hand: once it's unleashed, it's like a wildfire.

The "solidified energy gun" is a melee weapon with an energy membrane covering it, but it is limited to long-range weapons.

True melee energy weapons can only be widely adopted when a civilization reaches level 3.

As for the "Lock-on Lightning Spear," it is similar to the Crimson Queen's ultimate energy attack, with an attack power that is 1.5 to 2 times greater than that of ordinary energy weapons, and it also has a built-in "lock-on" effect.

Aside from being a major energy consumer, it has almost no drawbacks.

The senior engineer quickly made his choice.

He chose the "Lock-on Lightning Gun," while the Master Edition of the Lock-on Lightning Gun became the "Double-Lock-on Lightning Gun."

Simply put, it changes from a single-stage attack to a two-stage attack, increasing the damage.

[You have upgraded the Second-Stage Lock-On Thunder Spear (Master) to its maximum level and obtained the Master's Certificate (Level 2 Civilization)]

Master's Certificate (Level 2 Civilization): Your exceptional skills have earned worldwide recognition; no one can defeat you in your area of expertise.

Double-lock Thunder Spear Max: You will be the real-life Zeus, the inheritor of the old stallion.

The same operation was used again. The senior engineer upgraded the Serpent King Blade to the Master level. The Serpent King Blade is similar to Gunfighting (melee combat), and even the upgrade path is similar.

However, at the Master level, there is an additional option: "Pheromone Viper".

Pheromones at Max: The human body is the nest, and the gene chain is the snake's body. Through the reverse secretion of pheromones, you will continuously produce biochemical viruses. The number of 'pheromone viruses' you can produce depends on the number of advanced genes you have.

This skill is somewhere between an area-of-effect (AOE) skill and a domain skill, and it's also like a single-player version of a pheromone network.

The strength of a "venomous snake" depends on the strength of the cells in your body and the degree of genetic danger.

Speaking of this, Gao Gongke is no longer sleepy. He has too many messy and extremely powerful genes in his body: those of the Radiation Duke, the Crimson Queen, the Brain in a Vase, volcanic bacteria, and Sister Rose.

Wait, why is Sister Rose here? That's not the point. The point is, this trick is perfect for senior engineers.

Having spent 21 specialization points and two million experience points, the senior engineer successfully upgraded all ordinary skills to master level and obtained three master certificates.

The remaining skills are either inherent to the prosthetic body, bloodline, or class, and cannot be upgraded through experience.

After upgrading, the senior engineer appeared in front of the robot army. He activated "Reverse Symbiosis," and the next moment, his biological body turned into a large mass of flesh and blood, spraying out countless "raindrops" that poured onto the robots.

Meanwhile, the engineer's tentacles, flesh membranes, and granulation tissues appeared in various places at Research Station No. 7, especially in the monitoring system and energy system, where they were given special attention.

Reverse Symbiosis (Bloodline Talent): The greatest ability of a symbiote is to devour the other's body and gain its abilities. However, as an artificial symbiote, you can separate a part of the 'body' and let the other control your abilities.

"Perfect, absolutely perfect! This is evolution, this is the future!!"

Upon witnessing this horrifying scene, Dr. Rong's eyes burned with intense emotion.

"Our master said that perversion is a prerequisite for transformation. It seems you are qualified to become one of us."

Professor Rong's perversion successfully gained Xiao A's approval.

"Boss, boss, I want to go to the front lines too!!" Xiao Yu eagerly raised her hand to speak.

"Give me a break. With your current white suit, you'd be a sitting duck. And Dr. Rong, focus on your human modification. If my mechanical body is missing any parts, I'll dismantle you."

Inside her brain, Gao Yuanyuan's expression grew increasingly painful, her face visibly red and hot.

"What's wrong with her? Does she have a fever?"

Ador placed her palm on her forehead, and the next moment, with a sizzling sound, Ador screamed in pain as the data in her palm melted, and soon her entire arm melted away.

"Holy crap!"

Ah Hong was startled and quickly began to reorganize the data, but his condition was too poor, and he could only barely stop the melting trend.

"Senior sister, please help!"

"You're getting worse and worse," Bird of Paradise glared at the other person with dissatisfaction. A thick ball of code flames directly covered Adorlu's arm, and the melted arm grew back from within the flames.

"What is this?" Ah Hong asked, still shaken.

Bird of Paradise pondered for a moment, "This must be a hacking technique from another planet."
