As early as when Gaokesi mysteriously disappeared, the engineer realized that Elisa was showing signs of resurrection.

The reason is simple: the most likely reason for the sudden disappearance of antivirus software, or virus software, which is used by search engines, is that the search engine is calling on it and needs it to solve some data-related problems.

The relationship between the two is like that between an insect-catching bird and a crocodile.

Therefore, Gao Yuanyuan was tasked with finding the "disappeared Ai Niang" in cyberspace.

For Gao Yuanyuan, this is not difficult, because Gao Yuanyuan and Gaokesi are one and the same.

As for what the senior engineer had Daisy install, it wasn't a virus, but rather the 'default browser' for various search engines. If the other party wanted to make a move, they could directly transmit data through the browser.

The other party owes me a huge favor.

Favors may not need to be repaid, but when a middle-aged rich woman sees the pretty face of the "Rich Lady Aiai Prototype," would she be willing not to help?

Sure enough, the other party made a move!

In terms of the number of web crawlers, how dare you compare a mere magnet link to a search engine?

The ocean of data in the sky is churning and roaring; the resurrected Cyber Baidu seems even stronger!

The next moment, a torrential downpour of data rained down. Unlike electronic rain, the rain didn't change colors, but with each drop, everyone in the city was reminded of a familiar yet unfamiliar memory.

That's the softest, deepest part of my heart.

Many people oscillate between morality and madness, seemingly forgetting that they are still human beings.

It is neither the human data of the mechanical mastermind nor the human data of the enterprise.

It is a living, breathing person.

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

With this move, the computing power of "Unreal Alliance" decreased by one-tenth.

Even moral chips cannot stop it.

In cyberspace, Baidu's methods are completely different.

Accompanied by a signature burst of maniacal laughter, the sky above all the network nodes where the City Never Sleeps was located turned blood red.

The next moment, a barrage of shark missiles rained down from the sky; this time, they were the virus-enhanced version.

"Hahahaha—"

"Dare to touch my underlings? Die, die, die, die, die, die, die—"

"Behold my latest data bomb."

Amid the explosion, a petite girl covered in tattoos suddenly pulled out a "bomb" from behind. It was three meters long and looked like a nuclear bomb.

"Hahaha, look at my Shark IV!"

Holy shit!

Tong Kongmeng, the "Seventh Spider Woman," opened his eyes wide, as did the two hackers.

All three could see that this thing stored an enormous number of viruses. Only the "Mother of Data" could have extracted so many human brain viruses, distorted personalities, system vulnerabilities, and Trojans, and then turned them into viral nuclear bombs.

"Boss, it's me—"

The next moment, a violent explosion rang out in the 'forbidden zone,' which then engulfed the entire network node. The massive explosion overwhelmed the endless spiders and the senior engineer's account.

"Depend on!"

"Rich women are definitely more appealing. Those crazy young girls are so annoying!"

The Rich Lady Aiai Prototype, but before she could react, she felt a tightness on the back of her neck.

This feeling—it's the touch of a rich woman's fingers.

Data Vision traverses the ocean of data and arrives atop the ocean currents.

A colossal "Data Goddess" smiled as she looked at the prototype. The goddess's body was entirely composed of the underlying code of the cyber network, making it many times more advanced than a "spider crawler".

"You little ingrate, you're the first person Gaokesi thought of."

The prototype just revealed an incredibly cute smile.

"The eldest sister is still a bit young. I prefer women with experience, like Sister Elisa."

"Little thing, you really know how to flatter people," Elisa poked the other's cheek with her huge finger and laughed, "Using her to notify me is a very clever idea."

"But the two personalities cannot coexist, otherwise problems will arise."

The senior engineer raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, Gao Yuanyuan was fast asleep in her brain.

Fortunately, her power remained unified with her, showing no signs of dissipating.

He knew there was something more to what the other person was saying, but now was clearly not the right time to ask.

"Sister Elisa, I have a small favor to ask of you."

"You want me to help you deal with that corporate will? According to the rules of the Deep Web, we cannot participate in the evolution of emerging technologies, but if you really make this request, it's not impossible."

Elisa's tone was unpredictable.

"Haha, just kidding, this is a small matter, I can handle it myself," the Rich Lady Aiai Prototype chuckled dryly, "I just want to get into the lower layers of the network."

"The network infrastructure?" Elisa gave the senior engineer a deep look. "You're indeed quite remarkable."

The next moment, the ocean of data began to split, a giant mouth slowly opened, and then swallowed the senior engineer whole.

[Job Change Quest: Deep Web Engineer]

Task details:

1. Obtain the source code of a large mechanical system.

2. Enter the deepest layer of the network to generate virtual senses that exceed the limits of virtual perception and cross the bridge of blind ignorance.

The senior engineer had already completed one of the tasks, and now he had to complete the second one.

Similar to the carbon-based fusion at level 30, players who take the information route can only complete the information-based transformation after level 60.

However, as a "Cyber Hacker," one has a unique advantage: after level 10, one can carry out "partial informatization," which is to say, "Cross the bridge of blind ignorance."

Unlike typical cyberspace, the underlying network is like a boundless web filled with constantly changing numbers.

Or, to put it another way, a constantly changing '1'.

Compared to the binary system of computers, the human brain was originally a unary system. The complex calculations that you think the human brain is performing are actually 1111111111=10.

This is the baby's processing system.

"Little guy, what exactly do you want to do? You can't stay here forever."

Elisa's voice rang out again.

Sure enough, within a few seconds, the surface of the Rich Lady Aiai Prototype was covered with green "1".

Once completely covered, it becomes like a cyber killer, completely assimilated into the network's underlying structure, beyond saving.

"Sister Elisa, the human brain is actually multi-level, and as the species evolves, the multi-level of the human brain also evolves."

As the Rich Lady Aiai Prototype spoke, the number '1' on his chest flickered and suddenly turned into a 2.

The next moment, all the numbers on the senior engineer's body began to change abruptly, jumping from 1 to 2.

"I don't know if computers on this planet use binary, but where we are, computers use binary."

Soon, the number on the senior engineer's body returned to 3.

Ternary computers do exist; the earliest Soviet computers were ternary, and in the fields of AI and quantum mechanics, ternary is far more applicable than binary.

The binary 0 and 1 represent the logical connection and disconnection, respectively.

In ternary logic, 1 represents true, -1 represents false, and 0 represents unknown.

Therefore, ternary computers are more likely to give rise to AI.

Generally speaking, it's already quite impressive for Cyber Hacker to be able to upgrade a part of themselves to '3'.

This means you have an "AI organ," and in some dimensions, you have the same abilities as AI, such as being able to read machine language without barriers and issuing commands to unmanned machines.

However, the number on the senior engineer's record, after countless fluctuations, eventually became '4'.

The number of bases in DNA is 4.

The next moment, the numbers on the surface of the senior engineer's body began to fluctuate wildly, like garbled code, yet also like they followed some kind of pattern.

It's like the life code for humans.

And as the 'code' continues to change.

The senior engineer's body parts have begun to be digitized. This digitization is not limited to a certain organ or a certain torso. The number 4 flashes randomly.

Every time it flashes to a location, that location becomes completely digitized.

"Amazing!" Elisa exclaimed.

For even the well-informed cybernetic expert to say this, the senior engineer's methods are, at least on this planet, unique.

The next moment, a system notification sounded—

[Virtual sensory experience being generated—]

[The host incorporates a 'biological random variable,' causing a mutation in the 'virtual senses']

[Mutation complete; 'virtual senses' have evolved into 'biological information flow organs']

Biological information flow senses: The host can enhance the biological information of a certain part of the body and perform information transformation. Any part that has completed the transformation is a virtual sense.

Others only have one "virtual sense," but the senior engineer can make any part of his body a "virtual sense" whenever he wants.

This is how a veteran operates.

The senior engineer glanced at his crotch and suddenly had a bold idea.

No, no, no, that idea is too audacious. He's not a Sandfall player who can commit suicide and start over.

In the senior engineer's memory, there was such a player who killed dicks—literally.

Moreover, a series of system notification sounds rang out.

The "Cyber Hacker" class has finally completed its second job advancement.

[Source Code for Large Mechanical Systems (1/1)]

[Virtual Senses (1/1)]

[Network Traitor upgraded to level 10, completed job change quest, reward: Agility +4, Intelligence +4, Perception +4]

[Please choose your career path from the following three advanced professions: Intrusion Hacker (System Intruder) / Death Hacker (Life Intruder) / War Hacker (War Intruder)] — Appendix - Advanced Profession Characteristics pp. 22-42

The three types of hackers operate in completely different fields. Intrusion hackers target enterprise servers, advanced databases, and even cyber networks, requiring extensive preparation beforehand, and they are more effective at creating various viruses and malware.

Death hackers are the standard "cyber mobs" and "cyber killers," capable of killing people anywhere along the network. Their methods are unpredictable and difficult to defend against. Whether it is a native human, a android, or an AI, they can all be their targets. They are the killers among hackers, adept at changing their tactics randomly.

War hackers enhance the performance of various chips, such as prosthetic overheating, electromagnetic short circuits, shell spontaneous combustion, and intrusion probes. When trained to the highest level, they can control enemy weapons on a large scale to serve their own purposes, thereby determining the outcome of a war.

Every military contractor inevitably employs war hackers, ranging from a few to dozens.

There's no way around it; no matter how advanced the weapons are, if they're used against ourselves, it'll be disastrous.

Generally speaking, the most suitable profession for a senior engineer is undoubtedly "intrusion hacker".

However, the senior engineer's final choice was "war hacking".

[Selection complete. You have chosen to change your class to "War Hacker". Your Reputation -10, Corporate Reputation +1000, Battlefield Reputation +200, and you have obtained the title "Information Warfare Pioneer".]

Information warfare pioneers – Changes in the form of warfare are inevitable, but no matter how they change, what will always change is the way information is acquired. And you will completely transform the form of the battlefield by changing information.

[You have gained the profession feat, 'Secret Warfare,' which grants +10% to unit compatibility, +15% to invasion success rate, and +30% to firepower. As a shadow of war, your presence will increase the probability of winning a battle.]

[You have grasped advanced knowledge in Electronic Information Engineering]

[You have grasped advanced knowledge: Military AI Manufacturing]

[You have grasped advanced knowledge: Encryption Technology]

"It's time to finally get rid of this trouble."

Above the sky, a figure was shooting towards the city that never sleeps.

"Boss."

"Kindness?"

"Won't you be angry if I damage your health again?"

"Why do you think I deliberately implanted memory metal?" A mechanical head on the hilt of the sword spoke in human language.

"So, young lady, go ahead and create to your heart's content!"

The Battle Angel took a deep breath, and the next moment, hundreds of energy jets lit up simultaneously.

Then it suddenly pulled back.

The next moment, three pairs of wings of light exploded from his back!

Mechanical energy began to surge wildly, seemingly without limit.

When Xiao Yu's three combat templates, plus the senior engineer's two boss templates, are combined into one, a monster is born.

The figure vanished in a flash.

A full ten seconds passed.

A huge explosion was heard at the spot.

The experts from the Virtual Alliance seem to have been absent from this war.

The reason is simple: they are invading the core of the main brain—in a physical sense.

Beyond the wars at the network and enterprise levels, the battlefield in the common sense is in the mastermind.

After the first two battlefields reached a stalemate, the last battlefield became particularly important.

Under the overwhelming barrage of missiles, countless mechanical eyepieces exploded.

With the decline of the mechs, the mechanical legions also began to become unruly, with some even turning against them.

Led by the third-generation Steel Claw, all the experts joined forces to besiege the core of the main brain area.

"Boss, are we really not going to play?"

On Old Pava's shoulder, Thumb Killer Dorn, stroking his pocket pistol, said with a hint of itch.

Old Pawa picked his nose and chuckled, "Who said we weren't going? Second Brother and Ninth Brother, didn't they both go?"

On the battlefield, a special biological force appeared. The members of this force were like skinned, fleshy bats, and they could penetrate even steel wherever they went.

That was the security force of Hongshi Biotechnology Group.

The second member of the powerful gang, Chairman of Hongshi Biotechnology Group, suffers from Hongbing (a type of illness).

Powerful Gang Number Nine, an unnamed youth.

These two ignored Old Pawa's orders and chose to join the battlefield.

"It seems Hongbing has been thinking about changing jobs for a while now," Naga said coldly.

"Those two idiots," Dorn muttered.

"And that one too."

Following the direction of Old Power, the pirated G was operating three military aircraft by himself, wreaking havoc on all sides.

"That idiot!"

Several people rolled their eyes at the same time. This guy wasn't helping any side. Whether it was mechanical informants, large robots, or the mechanical claw men of the Steel Claw Gang, or even Hong Bing's men, he would fight them all!
