Helium-Atom Freezing Hand Cannon

In the mechanical modification room, large swathes of silvery material remained on the ground; these were liquefied metal skeletons.

The so-called "memory metal reshaping" is not an unlimited resurrection. The more it is "reshaped", the more metal cells are consumed, and the more metal cells cannot be restored.

The maximum percentage is 500% every 30 hours, which means that a senior engineer has five lives in a day. However, on the current panel, 500% has become 100%.

In the dim light, the engineer opened the mirror. As the water flowed and the mist dissipated, a silver-white metal skull appeared in the high-definition mirror.

After the prosthetic eye was rotated around, the implanted mechanical body was almost indistinguishable from the one before implantation, which is very rare.

However, upon closer inspection, one can find numerous cracks in five areas: the upper arm, forearm, fingers, spine, and calf.

The crack appears to be naturally occurring and does not heal despite the restoration of the shape memory metal.

So at first glance, it looks as if the bones in these areas are a bit darker.

Upon opening the system panel, the first thing that catches the eye is mechanical energy—

The starting point for mechanical energy changed from 3 to 2, reaching 29496 points.

The senior engineer recalled that, in other words, this implantation of the construct resulted in a permanent loss of 6,000 points of mechanical energy.

Hiss~~~

My balls hurt.

Oh, he doesn't have testicles now.

The mechanical modification rate increased by 25 points, which is basically 5 points for each construct. For this kind of second-tier advanced prosthetic body, the improvement in modification rate is a bit low.

Moreover, no attributes were added, meaning that the upgrade rate was also wasted.

Still a pain in the ass.

However, there was a pleasant surprise: as the modification rate increased, the physical modification threshold finally reached 200 points, which actually gave the senior engineer a chance to draw a random skill.

Random skills, that's really rare.

Without hesitation, the senior engineer clicked on the lottery.

[Lottery successful! You have obtained the 'Tier 2 Skill - Helium Atom Freeze Handgun Transformation']

The Helium Atom Freeze Handheld Cannon Transformation, also known as the Freeze Energy Cannon, is a common transformation ability of cosmic mechanical objects. It is worth mentioning that this skill is not primarily for killing, but rather for freezing and immobilizing.

Simply put, this is an area-of-effect skill.

Helium Atom Freezing Handheld Cannon Transformation (Second Order): By extracting helium atoms and releasing energy in cannon form, a super ice field is created with a temperature of -273 degrees Celsius. The coverage area expands by 100 meters every second. All species within this range will suffer from death, frostbite, freezing, and energy damage. Energy consumption is 100 points/second.

Everyone should give it a try!

Although helium atoms are not high-level particles, they are still much stronger than those messy mixed system particles.

More importantly, this is a cannon!

One of the most popular toys among men, second only to Gundam; people like to bring this on dates.

Compared to those particle energy beams that are as thick as tachyons, that's not even in the same league.

As soon as the senior engineer had a thought, his right hand began to transform, his five fingers splitting and retracting towards his forearm. At the same time, a spiral-shaped energy cannon appeared in his palm, and light shone on the spiral pattern.

As the light shone, the forearm began to swell, and countless mechanical components began to charge. The diameter of the forearm and upper arm increased by half. At the same time, a larger circular notch appeared on the shoulder blade, which was the helium atom conversion device.

As a terrifying gust of wind arose, visible frost appeared starting from the shoulder blades, covering the palms of the hands. The next moment, a beam of energy, nearly as thick as a thigh, flashed by.

Although the senior engineer only wanted to test its power and turned off the skill in less than a second, the nearly 100-square-meter mechanical modification room was instantly frozen, with a chilling atmosphere, rows of arm-thick icicles on the ceiling, and light snowflakes in the air.

The senior engineer instinctively shuddered and looked down, only to see that his two mechanical legs were covered in ice.

"That's intense? Interesting!"

With a thought, countless metallic flowers bloomed on his calf, instantly pulverizing the ice layer.

Currently, the quality of this randomly given skill seems quite good.

"Let's try reforming this 'unjustly accused'."

After paying such a high price, if it doesn't have enough power, he'll vomit blood—no, he'll spray out machine fluid.

"Try the highest level one first."

I glanced at the five constructs. The highest level was the spine plug-in - Möbius strip, which was of excellent second-order quality.

As soon as he had that thought, each vertebra of his spine began to deform wildly. The engineer's field of vision rapidly increased, and by the time he realized what was happening, his skull had already touched the ceiling.

That's fucking long!

In order to modify the large mechanical body, the mechanical modification room was very high, about 50 meters high. At this time, the senior engineer's head touched the ceiling, while his feet were still standing in place.

"It really is... deformed."

The senior engineer looked down and saw that his whole body, or more precisely, his tailbone, was deformed, with large rings inside smaller rings, and each part was rotating rapidly. Occasionally, one could see ribs the size of a little finger, like parts, stuck on the rings.

Orochimaru?

It doesn't quite look like one. To be more precise, it should be described as a ring-shaped, metallic mechanical monster.

However, the art style is somewhat similar, with those distorted and mutated human body structures, typical of Japanese anime.

A dense aura of malevolence emanated from Gao Gong's artificial eye. Gao looked around and identified a free target for attack.

It was a large mecha. Clearly, a military giant that had partnered with Tianping Technology had targeted Dugo Technologies for plagiarism.

Judging from its appearance alone, this mech's technological sophistication even surpasses that of Dugo Technologies's ordinary models.

The senior engineer's figure flashed by, and without a sound, half of the seven- or eight-meter-tall mecha disappeared. Mechanical components, armor, and internal electronic parts were all swept away.

A large amount of metallic dust was blown by the cold wind, creating a truly silvery landscape.

The senior engineer returned to his original form, patted himself off, and his body was also covered in a large number of metal particles.

In the instant of the attack, he felt as if a hundred mouths had grown all over his body.

This feeling is truly wonderful.

It was not a feeling of a living organism, nor entirely a change of a mechanical body, but rather a feeling of life being distorted.

"What a pity..."

Constructs can only truly unleash their power when dealing with living beings.

When dealing with inanimate objects, you can't even deal damage.

"Speaking of which, I'm about level 30 now, which is close enough for me to advance to the next rank."

Seeing that he was only 5% away from reaching the maximum, or 125% transformation rate, the senior engineer began to consider whether he should change jobs on the spot.

After all, to advance to a higher rank, you will 100% have to complete a "job change quest".

The job change quests will also differ in different locations.

What would be the primary class after Hunter? It's highly likely it won't be Hunter anymore.

His biological modification rate has reached 125%, and if carbon-based fusion is attempted, it is highly likely that it can be activated.

Just as the senior engineer was pondering this, an anxious call suddenly came from the communicator.

"Godfather, Dad, people from headquarters are here! And it's that perverted woman!"

As the door to the mechanical modification room opened, a gust of cold wind blew out, instantly covering Jinba's hair, face, and clothes with a layer of frost.

Even though she was thick-skinned, she still instinctively shivered.

"There was a problem with the experiment; there was an energy leak," the senior engineer said calmly as he walked out.

Jinba was stunned for a moment, and without thinking it through, said, "Dad, something bad has happened! People from headquarters are coming to arrest you!"

"Headquarters? The headquarters of Tianping Technology," the senior engineer frowned, "So, you leaked my information? You knew about this?"

Jinba said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, I knew, but I also wanted to make you one of my own, so I deliberately didn't say anything."

"Then why are you saying this now?"

"Because it wasn't our people who came, it was that bunch of lunatics from the 'Weapons Faction,' they..."

Just as Jinba was speaking, her features began to soften and become unfamiliar, and a smile appeared on her lips. Halfway through her sentence, an unfamiliar face appeared before the senior engineer.

"Hello, Mr. G, let me introduce myself. I'm Mona from the HR department at headquarters."
