In fact, Daisy thought the other party didn't need to be so conflicted.

The reason is simple: whatever decision the Demi-human Continent ultimately makes, it's not something a small family like theirs can decide.

In fact, besides settling old scores, a major reason for returning to his family was to avoid the implantation of a moral chip.

She cares more about her hunter companions than her family.

I wonder if the boss received the message I sent him.

Daisy took a deep breath and closed her eyes again. This time, she felt as if she had become a giant mechanical spider, wandering through the urban jungle.

At the human experimentation center, the senior engineer finally completed the editing of the last alien gene fragment. At this point, these hundreds of gene fragments were stored in different petri dishes, and the environment in each "glass ball" was different. Some were filled with terrifying radiation, some had temperatures exceeding 10,000 degrees Celsius, some were in the "thick oxygen era," and some were in special microbial environments.

In short, these alien gene fragments are growing rapidly, and even the 'Venusian fragments', which are growing the slowest, will complete their recombination within a week.

"Little A?"

"Little A is here."

"Help me extract all the drug data from Life Industries."

"OK."

"Yuanyuan."

"Elder brother."

"I need your help with a favor: help me simulate the neural circuitry of an implanted chip."

"OK."

The senior engineer nodded, then picked up a "smart drug" that hadn't expired yet and swallowed it.

[You have taken the "Emoxi Wisdom Potion". Intelligence +1, Neural Reaction Speed +10%, Duration: 20 minutes]

[Taking large doses of this medication may cause certain side effects, such as loss of coordination and facial expression. Please use with caution.]

"I definitely feel like my brain works better now, no wonder it's a best-selling drug."

The next moment, a large neural model appeared in the field of vision, showing all the neural response changes of the senior engineer.

Like a blue sky.

"Brother's antics are so funny," Gao Yuanyuan said with a grin.

Why do I feel like you're insulting me?

The next moment, the senior engineer took out the morality chip, and an insertion port automatically appeared on his temple. He then inserted the chip into it.

The clear sky suddenly turned into rolling dark clouds.

[The drug's effects have been sealed by the morality chip; additional status effect canceled.]

"Hey A, help me record the changes in neural circuits."

"Yes, Master. Recording in progress. Recording complete."

The senior engineer nodded, removed the chip, and then took out another "mental stabilizer," or more accurately, a "mental destabilizer."

[You have taken "Stephen's Psychotropic Drug". Your Intelligence +1, Perception +1, Duration: 30 hours, Additional Status: Personality Fission]

Personality splitting: Your moral desires will turn into criminal thoughts, your intimacy will turn into estrangement, and your self-perception will turn into self-denial.

In an instant, the senior engineer realized the power of this drug.

He seemed to have lost his love for rich women, his sincerity towards the script, and his talent for fan fiction.

What's the point of being a rich woman? She's just rich, acting like everyone else is. She's got a good figure, acting like I'm not. She's just looking for thrills, so why am I always the one on the bottom?

The senior engineer was startled by these sudden thoughts.

Take another pill to calm down.

The next moment, his thoughts completely reversed, and he wished he could strip naked right now and sell himself to anyone.

Holy crap, this medicine is really potent!

The terrified engineer quickly reinstalled the "moral chip".

In an instant, the senior engineer entered a state of enlightenment and scoffed at his previous thought.

You can't even tolerate this? You're utterly trash.

The morality chip even offers free "wise times"!

"Master, recording is complete once again."

"Um."

Among the blueprints obtained by the senior engineer, there was one called "Artificially Cultivated Flesh Body - Drug-Born Human".

This is a very special clone that can produce a strong drug reaction. For example, if an ordinary person takes a drug and the reaction is 1, it can become 10 in this clone.

Life science pharmacists can adjust the dosage of drugs based on the clone's response.

This is a powerful weapon in life sciences.

But if the number of people who receive the drug is 10, then the number of people who receive the drug is 1000.

He can even pinpoint the changes in each individual cell.

Such people can no longer be called "breeding people," they should be called "studs."

The high-achieving stud, however, is not testing drugs at this moment, but rather the threshold of the moral chip.

Every chip has its upper limit; once that limit is reached, you roughly know how to deal with it.

Of course, most people would go insane before they even detected its upper limit.

The fact that those drug developers failed to crack the chip even before going bankrupt has proven the power of ethical chips.

However, this only applies to ordinary people.

Rather than someone like a senior engineer whose character has reached negative double digits.

After the senior engineer took hundreds of different drugs, he could clearly feel a gap appearing in his moral chip.

The First Evolution

"Little A!"

"Little A understands!"

Half an hour later, countless complex neural circuits were changing on the holographic projection.

"Little A discovered that after the reactions of the thirty drugs resonated, the moral chip could no longer keep up with the changes in its owner's morals."

Are you insulting me?

"No, I was praising you. Not just anyone can have as many perverted thoughts as you."

A holographic projection of Xiao A conjured up a long, white leg, which rested on the senior engineer's lap.

Okay, since you have fair legs, whatever you say makes sense.

"But the problem is, after the resonance of thirty drugs, you are fine, but the body of an ordinary person will most likely end up like this."

In the holographic projection, a human body slowly swells up with the injection of various drugs, and explodes into a mosaic after the last drug is injected.

"Why don't you find a living person to test it on?"

"Uh, forget it."

The senior engineer is a masseur, not an artist, and doesn't understand that "an explosion is art."

"So, the key is how to minimize the dosage of the drug to achieve the effect of breaking through the chip's threshold, right?"

That's right.

"That makes things easier."

"Master, this procedure requires extensive human experimentation."

"It's okay, a group of cute little creatures will come and help for free."

"Welcome to visit again next time!"

Hanging Neck Street: When the "Electronic Maze" disappeared and a group of players walked out of the door in a daze, it was already dark.

In other words, they spent a whole day in the maze.

After a long silence, one player finally spoke through gritted teeth.

"I think we've encountered a bug! I'm going to complain to customer service!"

Lingling Shui rolled her eyes and said, "This is the data maze in Cyberspace, but I didn't expect someone to replicate it in reality."

"The other party's code was too advanced; I couldn't crack it, causing everyone to be stuck for a day," the Master of Slacking Off looked very remorseful.

"It's alright. Compared to killing a chicken and being chased eight hundred times, this is already pretty good."

"That's right, at least we've figured out one thing: you can't just wander into every NPC's house."

"And it's not without its advantages—" Baozi suddenly said.

I also shared the task notification with other people.

[You've received a temporary task—a moral dilemma]

[Task: Ethical Dilemma]

Difficulty: None

Mission Briefing: Morality is about self-discipline, not judging others. Mr. G has begun work on cracking the chip, and he needs a group of assistants.

Mission objective: Please get to the human experimentation center as soon as possible and follow Mr. G's instructions.

Quest Reward: 100 experience points, a clue to the expansion "The Moral Curse".

"An expansion pack?!"

"So this is an expansion pack!"

"This game has expansion packs!?"

The players who had previously threatened to quit the game immediately had their eyes light up.

You should have told us sooner if there was an expansion pack. How would we know if you hadn't told us?

"My foolish player DouDou, you believed any excuse you made up? I was just as naive as you guys back in the day, but now I'm a cunning old fox."

The senior engineer shook his head and walked into another research and development center for life sciences, the "Neurology Center".

This place also contains a bunch of advanced neural research equipment.

Dong Gang played happily inside like a joyful little bird.

"Professor Dong, how's your research going with the project I asked you to do?"

"Boss! I was just looking for you!" Once he entered his research and development field, Dong Gang immediately became full of energy.

"I have developed some research plans, but I need some advanced cells as research subjects to determine the details."

"No problem."

Senior engineers, aside from anything else, have a lot of cells.

The topic the senior engineer asked the other party to research was the seamless switching between the central nervous system and the human nervous system.

When it comes to transformations, the head is naturally the first thing to change.

Combat transformation is the research direction for the next period of time.

Once you conquer it, the hunter will have a second-tier class after level 30.

"Boss."

"Um?"

"After Life Industries went bankrupt, it was burdened with a huge data debt."

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

It's drizzling again in the city that never sleeps tonight.

A woman in a suit walked hurriedly down the alley.

This woman had a neat short haircut. Although she was not good-looking, she had an extraordinary presence, especially her eyes, which were like those of an eagle. She also had a row of metal studs on her chin.

However, she seemed a little nervous.

Upon seeing a figure in the alley, he immediately turned around without saying a word.

However, two more figures walked towards them from the front.

The woman changed direction again.

This time, however, she wasn't so lucky. She twisted her ankle and fell to the ground.

The figure behind them drew closer.

A teasing voice rang out.

"Who would have thought that the infamous career woman, Ms. Qin, would end up being hunted down by a debt collection group?"

"Jarvis?"

"Let's get straight to the point. There's a job I've got. Are you interested?"
