The Will of the Three Great Corporations

As the self-proclaimed second-best member of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division, the Collider actually has an even wider nickname—the number one meat shield of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division.

According to the game, the entire boss has a bug-like ability to instantly regenerate health.

Faced with this overwhelming attack, the collider also displayed its best skill—that is, taking the beating.

Powerful heat erupted from the steel muscles, the shape memory metal fused wildly, and the collider's body hardness increased at an insane rate.

"This guy's body hardness is almost on par with interstellar metal."

So-called interstellar metals are materials used in interstellar construction. 99% of these materials are developed later and have extremely high requirements. They must be able to withstand the high temperatures of nuclear explosions, or the erosion of some low-temperature dark matter, or even cosmic information life.

Interstellar metal is a prerequisite for constructing megastructures.

This type of interstellar metal is at least a product of a Type 3 or Type 4 civilization.

The high temperature, corrosion, and brightness brought by the energy rays almost completely engulfed the collider. The surface of the collider rapidly cracked, melted, and even disintegrated, like steel thrown into magma, with countless liquid metals splashing out.

During this process, the opponent's regenerative abilities continuously resist the damage, and the scattered molten metal is spiritually drawn back into its body and splashed out again.

The senior engineer was certain that the collider had at least one boss template, and it must be a recovery-type template. With that in mind, he casually unleashed an energy ray at the opponent, triggering the opponent's template attribute.

Recovery Template: Recycled Metal

Effect 1: Pure metal. Any negative status effects caused by attack effects, including but not limited to poison, burn, biochemical pollution, vital point attack, and double attack, will be offset as the memory metal is regenerated.

Effect 2: Form Reshaping: Health recovery +1000%, damage taken from each attack of the same type is reduced by 10%, eventually achieving near-immunity.

Effect 3: Undying. Whenever the blood is depleted, the memory metal will regenerate according to the same memory circuit to achieve the effect of resurrection. Each regeneration restores 50% of the blood. The number of resurrections depends on the fatigue resistance of the metal. Number of resurrections (5/20).

A full minute passed before the mechanical eye's energy attack entered a lull, and most of the collider had melted away.

The senior engineer narrowed his eyes, his figure suddenly leaped up, and he appeared hundreds of meters in the air. At the same time, he rubbed his hands together and activated the Emperor's Might. The next moment, a violent dark golden light swept over all directions like a tide, and mechanical eyeliners fell like rain wherever it passed.

At the same time, the radiation field unfolded. With the energy boost from the advanced radiation cells, the engineer was like a rock star in a nightclub. Under the 'radiation light', one mechanical eyeliner after another exploded on the spot.

[You killed a level 28 mechanical spy, experience +3000]

[You killed a level 29 mechanical spy, experience +3500]

[You killed a level 25 Mechanical Eyestalker (Elite Module), experience +4000]

A series of prompts flashed across the game panel, refreshing more than a dozen pages in just a short time.

After unleashing two powerful attacks in succession, the senior engineer turned pale.

In a situation where one is fighting against ten thousand, relying solely on biological beings without the aid of mechanical beings is ultimately too much of a stretch.

Moreover, there isn't even a mechanical eyeliner at level 30!

A knowing glint flashed in the senior engineer's eyes.

The maximum level for a small mechanical entity like the Mechanical Eyeliner is 30, but that doesn't mean it's 'born' at level 30.

In other words, are these mechanical eyeliners all newly made?

While the senior engineer was pondering, the war below also broke out, using the same energy beams, only with a higher energy level, better accuracy, and continuous firing of energy weapons.

It must be said that although these three stealth mech lolis are cowardly and playful, they are products of the mother city, standard level two civilization mechanical life forms. As long as they are not surrounded, dealing with these mechanical spies is like a strong man beating up a primary school student.

In just a few seconds, the collider, whose body had been mostly burned away, returned to its normal form once again.

"Damn it, after taking so many shots, I'll need a new body when I get back," the collider cursed, then glared angrily at the senior engineer.

"Master, it's one thing for someone else to hit me, but why did you have to hit me?"

The senior engineer coughed lightly, "How about I try your back?"

Tong, unusually, didn't complain. Instead, he entered a deep programming state. With the full effort of this neural modeler, a large amount of data appeared from the ground in the next moment, forming all kinds of buildings, including skyscrapers, streets of a city that never sleeps, and even some non-existent secret passages, elevators, and mechanisms.

Single-handedly, Tong transformed reality into the shape of cyberspace.

Immediately, a large number of mechanical eyelines lost their way in these scenes.

The senior engineer tapped his forehead, waking up Ahong and Aiduolu, who were completely engrossed in watching eroge.

"What's wrong? I'm a useless piece of trash now, can't you just let me lie down in peace?" Ah Hong said in the typical tone of a shut-in.

"I know you're useless, but even useless people can be recycled. I'll do you a small favor: go keep watch and let me know if anything seems wrong. When it comes to spying, hackers are more perceptive than neural modelers."

"Trouble."

Although Ah Hong was grumbling, he still obediently connected to the cyber network.

The senior engineer gave the collider a look, and the collider nodded, then started running away with Tong in tow.

For the three of them, as long as they survive the first wave of attacks, the remaining attacks will not pose much of a threat. Of course, if the true form of the machine descends, that would be a different story.

Soon, Ah Hong's complaints rang out.

"I've only been staying home for a short time, how did the cyberspace of the City That Never Sleeps become such a mess? Is this still the cyber network?"

"How about it?"

"I didn't see any aircraft carriers, but I did see the will of several companies drifting this way."

Which company is it?

"Let me see, Deepin, Virtual Experience, and Data Defender are all members of that emerging giant."

The senior engineer remembered "Deep Image," which was an "online real estate company" and whose resettlement housing was placed in people's minds.

As a form of collective consciousness, corporate will is, on the one hand, the personification of corporate values, and on the other hand, it can also be a kind of large-scale AI. According to players, it is the most difficult group monster to fight, with high health and defense, and requires special weapons.

"This is a bit troublesome."

The moment the senior engineer had a thought, the three characteristics of the cyber traitor—"virtual proof," "top-level programming," and "human brain freak"—were immediately activated.

The next moment, the senior engineer's "perspective" changed.

The ability to increase knowledge at max level is comparable to a talent.

Virtual Authentication: Under this authentication, the doors to the information world will open for you.

Top-level programming: Advanced knowledge, expressed simply through the simplest programming methods.

The Brain Maverick: To spy on one person is a crime; to spy on ten thousand is to be a brain maverick.

With the support of these three characteristics, the high-level engineer's vision suddenly became clear. Various "buildings" were transformed back into data, while pedestrians on the street and tenants in houses became miniature signal stations. The simulated data flowed continuously upwards and was invested into the huge data cloud in the sky.

The data cloud in the sky also began to change rapidly, and soon, a large amount of data began to invade the neural model city that Tong had created.

"Walk!"

Suddenly, three pairs of wings sprouted from the back of the senior engineer, who grabbed the collider and the child. Due to the collider's terrifying weight, his speed was not fast, but even so, it was still much faster than a regular family car.

Not long after he left, mirrors suddenly appeared out of thin air, each mirror like a replaying video, reflecting the route choices of the three.

Even more frighteningly, as the video playback speed increased, the images of the three became clearer and clearer. In some of the mirror images, the collider, the engineer, and Tong stopped their repetitive movements and started looking at the mirror and walking out of the mirror.

One by one, people reflected in the mirror were born.

Deep Image – Creating Your Personal Image

Strange changes also began to appear on the system panel of the high-powered engineer.

[Your reproductive system modification rate +1% (temporary)]

[Your reproductive system modification rate +1% (temporary)]

[Your reproductive system modification rate +1% (temporary)]

[Your reproductive system modification rate +1% (temporary)]

On the engineer's skin, numerous bright red lines began to appear, and in addition, streams of heat emanated from the patterns.

As for the two people in his hands, the collider only showed an uncomfortable expression, while Tong was much more serious. Although her consciousness was still in deep programming, her face was burning red, and her legs were unconsciously rubbing together.

The senior engineer took a deep breath, and the "meat carpet" writhed with flesh and blood, directly enveloping the two of them and sucking out all the hormones from the two, especially the child.

The two of them immediately entered a state of enlightenment.

Abilities need to be developed; the senior engineer's two S-level skills are not just for combat.

However, I can't let others take advantage of me for free.

The thought just popped into my head.

Metal cells that had been scattered on the skin's surface due to the explosion of the collider, as well as Tong's cells, were extracted.

[You have obtained a Level 4 Civilization Metal Material: Memory Metal Cell]

[You have obtained Advanced Human Cell - Child]

Of course, these two are unaware of all of the above.

A virtual machine company—this doesn't look like a legitimate company at all.

Contrary to popular belief, this company is actually a highly technologically advanced biotechnology company.

It is precisely because the biological level is high enough that products that lesbians love can be produced continuously.

However, when the senior engineer appeared on the outskirts of the city that never sleeps, a colossal object appeared before him.

It was a data wall, so large that it almost covered an area visible to the naked eye.

This kind of transformation at the practical level is even more exaggerated than Tong's.

"Data Defenders, the top Electronic Barrier developer in the City That Never Sleeps—if I remember correctly."

"Yes, Master, you remember correctly. It was developed by the founder, An, and has gone through 43 iterations. There are currently 142 products on the market."

A's innocent and alluring voice rang out.

"Oh, you're online," the senior engineer said calmly. "No bad news, right?"

"Everything is under your control, including your clone."

"Kindness."

As the owner of the book, Senior Engineer was naturally aware of Old Power's cunning trick.

So the senior engineer devised a plan, creating a personality out of mechanical rejection and giving it to the other party for free.

This was a method he had developed in his previous life.

Although the personalities are separate, to a certain extent, the genuine Gao Gong can manipulate the pirated version.

And the one responsible for carrying it out was Xiao A.

"However, Miss Xiao Yu has broken your mechanical body."

"What!?"

The senior engineer had a million complaints in his mind. His most reliable component, the Greatsword Splitter, had actually malfunctioned.

When he served the rich woman, his body wasn't ruined, so what's wrong with this girl?!

"Brother, should I help?"

Suddenly, Gao Yuanyuan's voice rang out from within the brain.

"Isn't it too much trouble? Aren't you busy with your own things right now?"

"No trouble at all. My brother's affairs are never a trouble!"

"Alright then, wait for my orders."

Looking at the towering data blockade, the senior engineer frowned. This level of data censorship was almost at the level of a Level 3 civilization.

That's not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that if another agent makes a move, then it will be a matter of life and death.

To fight against a mechanical mastermind in a mechanical city is like looking for trouble in a toilet.

The last person to do that is... oh, he's still alive and well.

But there is only one android A, and its nanotechnology is at least at the peak level of a Level 3 civilization.

That's a case of attacking from a lower dimension.

"Never mind, let's talk about it later, Yuanyuan—"

Just as the senior engineer was about to say something, he frowned and suddenly shut up decisively.

At the same time, Ah Hong's voice rang out.

"It seems like the boss of this local area network is about to emerge. Hey G, should we consider running away?"

"Wait, things seem to have changed."

"Huh, this type of encryption command is being recalled?"

As Ah Hong exclaimed in surprise, thousands upon thousands of mirrors vanished into thin air, along with the massive data city that had been looming over the engineer's eyes.

A familiar feeling welled up once again.

The mechanical eyeliner was also removed.

Tong opened his eyes and said calmly, "I brought the machine back."

"How so?"

"I used the authority of the mother city to forcibly connect to the machine agent, causing it to withdraw the attack command."

"So what's the situation now? The new generation of machines has suppressed the old generation," the senior engineer asked.

"More like it, but to put it more vividly, a new generation of machines is about to be born. It will no longer rely on the power of the old generation of machines, but will become a completely new mechanical brain."

"So, I can't send this black box out? If I go to the mainframe area, I'm afraid we'll be met with a new generation of machines."

Tong remained silent for a long while before tentatively asking, "Should I apply to the higher authorities to have the team leader come over?"

The senior engineer chuckled dryly, "That violent woman, haha, let's discuss it again."

After a long silence, Tong suddenly asked, "Why am I all sticky?"
