One with the Sword

"Captain Daisy, the aura has shifted again," a creature hunter with a black nose said.

Daisy looked in that direction and pondered for a moment.

"So, the heads of those four major families aren't in the Corporate District or the Mainframe District, but in the Santo Domingo District—the former stronghold of the three major gangs?"

"Can you locate it?"

"Can."

Daisy gestured to the Yao family members. The Yao family representative looked surprised, but without the slightest hesitation, tapped the watch-like device a few times.

Soon, a military map, ten times more detailed than a regular holographic map of a city that never sleeps, appeared.

The creature hunter lay on the ground and took a deep breath. As he inhaled, it was as if he had taken a nerve drug. His expression became fascinated, and large amounts of black fur gushed out from his limbs and back, making him look like a mutated dog.

The bio-hunter is called Koizumi, nicknamed "Little Dog," and the biochip he implanted contains a very special type of irradiated dog cells, which are called "Nightmare Dogs."

In other words, these irradiated dogs feed on dreams and are able to enter dreams.

The distance between these dream states can even be hundreds of kilometers.

Professor Han studied this "abnormal phenomenon" and quickly discovered that this dream entry and dream consumption is essentially a way of consuming neural signals.

Thus, although the radiation dog was only Class D, it was made into a biochip because of this special ability.

This ability was modified and transformed into a means of tracking people over long distances.

It's not about following the breath, but about using nerve signals.

Therefore, this kind of tracking is almost impossible to avoid.

Soon, Koizumi settled on a location: a textile factory in the Santo Domingo district.

"Can you confirm?" Daisy asked.

Since entering the City That Never Sleeps, Koizumi's abilities have started to malfunction. The reason is simple: there are just too many people in the city, and all sorts of bizarre implanted personalities and personality modification technologies make him feel extremely uncomfortable. In his words, it's like drinking a bowl of soup with all sorts of strange seasonings.

This time, however, Koizumi nodded with certainty.

"I can confirm that there is a foul stench permeating this city right now. Everyone is like that. It's easy to distinguish between people who don't have a moral chip and those who do."

Daisy glanced at the Yao family representative, and soon the military flying vehicle turned around and disappeared into the sky.

The interior of the military flying vehicle was exceptionally spacious, easily accommodating twenty people. Half of them were from the hunter group, and the other half were from the Yao family. The Yao family alone had five high-level mercenaries at level 30.

However, compared to elites like the Mechanical Blade Demon and Mechanical Sword Demon, these mercenaries are just ordinary templates, and they haven't unlocked carbon-based fusion yet, meaning their potential is limited to this level.

The Vegetable-Growing Skeleton's Exotic Wilderness Adventure

As for the hunters, although most of them are not as high level as their opponents, almost everyone has an elite template, especially Daisy, who is slightly above the level 30 elite limit.

This illustrates two things: first, the Mechanical Hunter faction has great potential and a bright future; second, the higher-ups do not treat them as outsiders and use core technologies to modify them.

Upon seeing this, the Yao family representative couldn't help but show an expression of envy.

The Demi-human Continent. A breeding ground for mercenaries, the home of mechanical warriors, and the stronghold of Mother City warriors—these titles sound impressive, but in essence, it's just a high-level cannon fodder production base.

Relying on their family's unique ancient technology, the modified humans of the subhuman continent are able to undergo more cruel and inhuman mechanical modifications and be thrown into the most dangerous battlefields.

Those who survived naturally became super mercenaries.

The Yao family representative sighed, shook his head, and looked out the window, where mechanical surveillance cameras and military flying vehicles passed by.

Military flying vehicles use license plates from the mother city, and the agents of these vehicles assume they are from outside the city, so they naturally don't check them.

After resting with his eyes closed for a moment, the Yao family representative began to stand up and issue orders.

"Triple Electronic Barrier implanted!"

"Personality stabilizer activated!"

"Neural Modeling - A Temporary Mental Imprint!"

"Removal of standard tactical prosthetic eyes, implantation of anti-hallucination prosthetic eyes!"

Inside the military flying vehicle, surgical arms popped out and were used to perform targeted modifications on these mercenaries.

Meanwhile, a group of unsavory hunters stood by, pointing and whispering.

"He's kind of handsome."

"They even replace their eyeballs during battle? That's so cool! Seriously, even if it's cool, it's still a vital organ."

One of the creature hunters said to Daisy with some envy, "Captain, when can we do this too?"

Daisy leaned against the side wall of the military vehicle, punched the other person in the chest with her backhand, and laughed and scolded:

"You envy others, but they envy you. What do you think President Du has been doing all these past six months, traveling every day for work?"

"Whatever you want, Mr. Du will get it for you sooner or later, but our system is unique."

The creature hunter rubbed his chest, where three rows of nine eyeballs resembled the nine of bamboo tiles in mahjong.

"That's right, my eyes are way cooler than prosthetic eyes. Besides, I have eighteen eyes all over my body, so there's no time to replace them if I have to."

Upon hearing this, the Yao family representative showed a hint of disappointment. He was still preparing to sound out the possibility of "technical cooperation."

It now seems that the other party's higher-ups have good judgment and are not easily fooled.

"The textile mill is the territory of the Deep Web Weaver 'Ninth Spider Queen'. Although she is the youngest among all the Deep Web Weavers, she is very strong and can be ranked in the top three."

"We are prepared to use tactics that target advanced AI, namely, to infiltrate 'large data centers' for our attack operations."

Daisy's expression gradually turned serious. The other party's use of modern technology had reached a level of consummate skill, and they had even used a military satellite.

This is a skill I don't currently possess.

This is a rare learning opportunity.

"The only concern now is that the deep web weavers' cyber attack capabilities have exceeded our defense limits. After all, this time we were acting on our own and we didn't have any military servers to provide us with data-level protection."

"You don't need to worry about that," Daisy said confidently. "We've made ample preparations in this regard."

She paused for a moment. "Instead of worrying about this, we should worry about other things."

"Your patriarch has sent a message. The situation is a bit complicated. The other side is likely on guard. We may also be facing experts from the Steel Claw Gang and the Powerful Gang."

"Looks like I need to make a phone call."

Meanwhile, in Santo Domingo, in the territory of the Deep Web Weavers, the second-in-command of the powerful gang, Hong Bing, the chairman of Hong's Biotechnology Group, this domineering CEO, had a rather unpleasant expression at the moment.

"Come on, come on, is this all the mechanical claw men from the Steel Claw Gang are capable of? Tell me honestly, are you as weak as that middle-aged man from before?"

The mechanical claw men are the core force of the Steel Claw Gang. Each one is a level 30 pure mechanical modifier. This kind of force, which can be produced in an endless stream, would be a powerful fighting force even in a world-class military group.

At this moment, these fully mechanized warriors, whose arms and legs were covered with titanium alloy blades, were sprinting at full speed, leaving behind a trail of dark shadows.

However, these fifty dark figures, upon reaching the military aircraft in the center, barely paused before being launched in the opposite direction at the same speed.

"Come on, let's continue, let's continue!"

The new pilot of the military aircraft laughed loudly, his arrogant attitude making Hong Bing clench his fists several times; he really wanted to punch him.

"This rookie's skill in piloting military aircraft seems even better than Hammer David's?"

The alien was utterly baffled. "Or has Arasaka trained a new cyborg?"

Military aircraft are devices that fall somewhere between exoskeletons and mechs.

An exoskeleton covers the entire body, but this one doesn't; it's more like a mech without a cabin, with only the limbs encased in a military aircraft.

This also means that its vital parts are exposed to the air, which makes driving it incredibly difficult.

Conversely, if operated well, it is equivalent to a high-level mechanical life form of a mother city.

It's hard to say whether this technology has gone astray or hit the mark.

However, there is no doubt that at this stage, even the most skilled exoskeleton operators cannot fully control the operation of such military aircraft.

In the hands of Hammer David, military aircraft are equivalent to heavy robots, but in the hands of this newcomer, they are like the simplest toys, left to him to tinker with as he pleases.

Gravity technology is changing wildly like the tide.

The enormous machine is capable of all sorts of fancy tricks.

Even more frightening is that targeted modders like Hammer David can only pilot military aircraft for no more than 30 minutes at a time. Any longer, and there is a risk of inducing cyberbullying.

However, Bai calculated the time and found that two hours had already passed.

This is outrageous!

"If that old guy Arasaka really develops this type of cyborg, wouldn't that be equivalent to having a top-tier mechanical army?"

Bai couldn't help but say.

"Would that old bastard Arasaka really raise such a hothead?" Koubing retorted.

Bai paused for a moment, then thought about it and realized it was true.

"Don't call him a hothead. I just hacked into this kid's head, and guess what I found?"

The voice of the hacker Jungle Wolf suddenly rang in their minds. Needless to say, this hacker had definitely infiltrated their system again without warning.

"What did you find?" Bai asked.

"I didn't find anything. I had just hacked in when this kid discovered me. If my main body hadn't been away, I probably would have been killed right away. That kid is really irritable. I'm starting to like him."

"The jungle wolf said casually."

"This kid just joined the gang and immediately challenged Naga, Dorn, Roger, and our Boss Hong. Although he didn't win every time, he never lost a single time."

"And it's obvious that this kid is getting stronger with the naked eye. Mr. Hong, have you ever seen a method that combines gravity technology with energy weapons? Oh, you have. You almost capsized."

The jungle wolf didn't mince words, and Hong Bing's lips twitched.

"By the way, Bai, as a foreign company employee, aren't you supposed to be able to transform into anything? Why don't you turn into this kid?"

Foreign company, short for alien company, and Bai's true identity is indeed an employee of a giant galactic company in the Celtic system.

Its purpose in coming to the Cyber Test Site is simple.

Learning from others, or rather, exchanging technical knowledge.

Bai shook his head and said, "My bloodline spirit tells me that becoming him might cause problems, so I'd better not."

"Bloodline spirit? What the hell? Your race actually believes that gods reside in the bloodline? This is feudal superstition!"

Bai smiled and left on his own.

The jungle wolf tried to provoke Hongbing several times, but Hongbing wasn't fooled and didn't intend for this crazy kid to risk his life, so he stopped talking, bored.

Hong Bing suddenly thought of many things.

Hongshi Pharmaceutical is considered a top-tier company in the city that never sleeps.

As a result, the sole heir of the Hong family ended up joining a gang, which indeed sparked considerable discussion, or rather, ridicule, in the business world.

Ten years later, the Hong family's former competitors were defeated one by one by the new head of the Hong family.

What started as a small gang has become a monster in the underworld of the city that never sleeps.

The Powerful Gang, or rather, the Strong Ones, is itself a joint experimental project of various military groups.

Its purpose is to test various new human body technologies.

Therefore, all sorts of strange and unusual people can be found in powerful gangs.

The Hong family's biological project underwent a transformation by acquiring valuable experimental data from various human technologies and dangerous activities.

As for those short-sighted individuals, they have long been swallowed up by the times.

But now, he has once again reached a crossroads.

The leader of the Steel Claw Gang, or rather, the future head of the military group, gave him a condition that was very difficult to refuse.

The second-in-command of a world-class military contractor.

If we can really take that step, then the world will be wide open for us.

Moreover, such an opportunity will not come twice.

But this means breaking away from the powerful group and parting ways with this top-level experimental project.

He began to waver.

Ajin-zhou, the location of the Armed Family Foundation

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and slung the dragon-scale greatsword, which was larger than his body, over his shoulder, excitedly muttering to himself:

"The boss's body is so fun to play with!"

Then, looking around, he raised his voice:

"Hey, who's next?!"

Behind her, another high-ranking official slowly collapsed to the ground. Including the previous two, a total of three high-ranking officials were defeated by this short girl.

Even more terrifying is that no one survived more than three moves.

Where did the Yao family get such a monster?!

Not only the negotiation team, but even the three super mercenaries, Miyamoto Tenzo, Eagle King, and Xiao Gui, showed expressions of shock.

Miyamoto Tenzo stood up abruptly, and his military cybernetic body automatically entered activation mode.

As for Eagle King and Xiao Gui, their bodies were instinctively covered by bio-armor; one was an aerial combat type, and the other an assassination type.

Regardless of the type, from their perspective, they could see that the opponent's mechanical body was extremely strong, even stronger than their military prosthetic bodies.

What's even more terrifying is that dazed and confused girl.

There are three boss templates, and they are all combat templates.

From the perspective of simply controlling mechanical bodies, Xiao Yu is more suited to the "Mechanical Rift Greatsword".

If the "Machine-Splitter Greatsword" had an expression, it would definitely look incredibly satisfied right now.

It feels incredibly pleasurable to be used by a fighting beauty!

This is what it feels like to be one with the sword.
