Modification

In a mechanical repair shop at the Tianping Technology branch.

"Father!"

The tall and imposing Jinba's first words stunned the senior engineer.

"My mechanical body can't give birth to a daughter like your biological form."

Jinba stared at the unfathomable mechanical skeleton before her, a thoughtful expression on her face. After a long pause, she tentatively asked:

"My good son?"

The engineer extended a mechanical hand and pulled out the cable plugged into his body. In the absence of a living organism, "charging" requires this primitive method.

After unplugging the last cable, the senior engineer calmly said, "Call the people in."

"Huh? How did you know I was pleading for someone else?" Jinba asked curiously.

"Those who call for their father without reason are either treacherous or thieves."

Soon, Jinba's colleagues, a group of tall and burly corporate warriors, walked in with their heads bowed, completely unlike their usual arrogance.

"You want me to help you modify your organisms?" the senior engineer asked bluntly.

"Hehe, thank you so much, sir."

"We greatly admire Mr. G's public-spiritedness and sense of justice."

"Mr. G, please feel free to come to us with any questions you may have in the future."

The mechanical skeleton opposite extended a metal finger.

"Ten million, for one person."

"Huh?" The group of corporate warriors were taken aback.

"And it's settled in Mother City currency."

"Ha??"

Ten million Mother City Coins, if converted into the currency of a regular Mechanical City, would be worth over a hundred million.

These top corporate warriors are known for their extravagant spending and living paycheck to paycheck; they wouldn't have accumulated so much money.

"But, but, I heard that you didn't charge Jin Hanhan for his makeover," a burly man with dreadlocks covered in tattoos said cautiously.

"Oh, right, that's right," the senior engineer turned to Jinba and said, "Come on, say something."

"Father," Jinba said obediently.

"Look, we're relatives."

The dreadlocked man mumbled a few words, seemingly wanting to imitate the style.

"Men won't do."

The senior engineer saw through the other party's intentions and refused decisively.

Seeing the disappointed look on the corporate soldier's face, Senior Engineer Gao spoke again, saying, "However, if you can help me get some materials, I'm not unwilling to help you, after all, we're all in the same department."

The data on the artificial eye was refreshed, and soon, a list of materials appeared on the implanted chips of all the corporate warriors.

FG-13 alloy, Mother City alloy, top-grade mechanical rotor, scorched rock, Noah crystal, isotopic polymer...

FG-13 alloy is the top-tier second-order alloy material on the market, boasting top-level strength, plasticity, hardness, and fatigue resistance.

Mother City Alloy, an advanced alloy originating from Cybertron, is also the casting material for the mechanical brain and the mechanical lifeforms of Mother City. It comes from the universe, and no one knows its formula.

Burnt rock, a mineral originating from the Earth's core, is extremely heat-resistant and can maintain its shape even at temperatures up to 6000 degrees Celsius.

Noah Crystals and isotopic aggregates are high-grade metals from the asteroid belt, which are not produced on this planet at all.

"Uh, Dad, didn't you say that you came to Tianping Technology to restore living organisms?"

After the others left, Jinba, who had been given a free father, couldn't help but say something.

"Then I need advanced biomaterials or advanced biotechnology, can you provide those?"

"Uh, probably not."

Jinba understood immediately. As a top-tier biotechnology company, it naturally possesses the most advanced biological materials, such as S-class radiated beasts, special life forms, and primitive species. However, these things are beyond the reach of even a senior engineer like Han Tong.

The secret service is not just sitting idly by.

In fact, whether it's Tianping Technology or other top groups, the most dangerous and feared part is always the confidential department.

I highly recommend Wildfruit Reading; it's really good for tracking your books. Download it here.

Everyone should give it a try!

If these corporate soldiers actually tried to steal materials, they would probably be gone the next day.

"If I ask for money, will they give it to me?"

Jinba scratched her head. "That's probably not the case either."

"If I keep them hanging on like this, what if they tie me up somewhere and force me to undergo some kind of reformation?"

Jinba stroked her chin and thought for a moment. Based on her understanding of these animals, they were absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

"Therefore, buying metal materials is a business that can recoup the cost."

"That's true. Our Tianping branch lacks everything except materials. Dad, I'll give you some of the materials I've saved later." The adopted daughter, Jinba, patted her chest, immediately showing her filial piety.

It sounds rather strange for a biotechnology company to own some advanced metallic materials.

However, it makes sense that as a partner most closely linked to military giants, it would possess some advanced metallic materials for experimentation.

And these corporate warriors, as the first choice for testing new weapons, it's quite reasonable for them to waste some scraps, right?

The senior engineer had no intention of hiding this matter, nor could he. Soon, Han Tong, the top expert of the Throne Division and also the top expert of the Balance Division, learned about it and even obtained the list immediately.

"Advanced metallic materials?"

Han Tong muttered to himself that if the other party wanted biological materials, he would find it somewhat normal, after all, the other party was a master of biological modification.

But if it's made of metal, what's the use of that?

Self-reform? Does the other person have no intention of starting anew?

"Minister, what do you mean?" a cold voice asked from the holographic projection.

"Let him look for it first. The HR specialist from headquarters will be here soon, and then he'll be one of us."

As a branch manager, how could I not report to my superiors when I encountered such a master-level biological expert?

And the HR specialists at headquarters are the kind of people who can even brainwash advanced AI.

Thinking of this, he became worried about his men.

"Keep an eye on them. Some of the materials are classified. Tell them to be careful."

Aside from themselves, those monsters that have been modified hundreds of times are known for being fearless.

He was very worried that these people would do something outrageous.

After a moment of silence, the person on the other end said:

"I'm afraid that won't work, because the expert said that the materials he needs are limited and it's first-come, first-served."

"Never mind, let's talk about it after my meeting," Han Tong paused, then suddenly remembered something and raised his voice, "You got my spot, right?!"

"I'm sorry, Minister, I only managed to secure my spot."

"..."

After the usual ministerial meeting of the Libra branch, one by one, the branch's bigwigs came out, nodded to each other, and then left.

Han Tong walked particularly fast; if he didn't hurry, those idiots would probably snatch up all the spots.

"Minister Han, please take care."

Han Tong turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Yu, the logistics supervisor. This was a lucrative position that not just anyone could hold. In the previous internal competitions, Zhang Yu's opponents had been eliminated for various reasons, which further confirmed his judgment that the other party definitely had someone behind him.

"Manager Zhang, is there anything I can help you with?" Han Tong asked patiently.

"Director Han, I wonder how my friend is doing with you?" Supervisor Zhang asked with a smile.

Han Tong was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he thought, "Friend, that biology expert?"

"That's great, what's wrong?" Han Tong said calmly.

The person on the other end was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Since that's so good, could you let him transfer to another position ahead of schedule? I happen to have a vacancy here."

Job transfer? Damn, I haven't even been rehabilitated yet!

Han Tong decisively refused, saying, "No, according to company rules, a job transfer requires review by our Throne Department. We'll discuss it after our review is complete."

Watching the other person's departing figure, Zhang Yu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He hadn't expected that the other person wouldn't even give him this much face.

More importantly, the other party won't find out anything, right?

Ever since meeting that mysterious NPC, Ah Q has felt that his gaming experience has been getting worse and worse.

First, the "Ah Q" within Tianping Technology is contacting himself more and more frequently.

This gives one a sudden chill, because for him, the one who signed the agreement was just a tool, and then, the tool became himself.

He was contacting himself, and his tone, manner, and style were exactly the same as his own.

To be honest, it felt very strange.

To make matters worse, he now has to grind for quests, even though he's just a casual player.

In the 104th Biological Zone, in a nine-story residential building, Ah Q looked up and walked in with a grumbling expression.

"Who are you?" Matsumoto Tetsuya looked at the other person with a surprised expression.

"Hello, there's something I'd like to talk to you about, about our company's secret internal experiment."

Following the task instructions, Ah Q spoke each word carefully.
