A Mushroom of Energy · The Mushroom Girl

For a wise person, the best way to die is naturally to die before the steps of knowledge.

From this perspective, David died a worthy death.

Just as David died, the engineer nimbly twisted his five fingers, connecting the shattered fragments of the illusory realm. Like tiny streams of light, they entered the cracks in the 'crystal ball,' using their last bit of value to repair this 'starry cloud code.'

Its unique characteristic as a "high-level code" is that it can seamlessly connect to anything related to the virtual world.

Otherwise, the senior engineer wouldn't dare to use this trick, because if he made a mistake, he would also be in trouble.

Of course, the advantage of using this move is also very great. A level 54 sage can be instantly killed upon first meeting.

The management of such large corporations may not be particularly strong in combat, but if they want to escape, they are as difficult to kill as a top-tier virus.

After glancing at the rewards on the task list, the senior engineer stretched out his hand, and the walking stick flew over.

Name: Wisdom Staff

Category: Virtual Hardware

Manufacturer: Diwang Group

Quality: Tier 3 - Excellent

Property:??

Operation mode: Requires the special mark of the Ground Network Group to 'unlock'

Note: Tier 3 personal equipment is, in some ways, even rarer than super buildings of the same tier. Do you understand the significance of this?

The senior engineer naturally understood that, without a doubt, the difficulty of constructing large-scale civilized buildings was far greater than that of individual equipment.

However, large-scale civilizations can be built with immense power, meaning that a particular civilization, or even a super-enterprise, can build such structures by endlessly piling up resources, manpower, and scientists, completely disregarding energy consumption and cost-effectiveness.

However, it is difficult to do this with Tier 3 personal equipment, because a crucial aspect of crafting personal equipment is 'mass production'.

Therefore, the difficulty of manufacturing equipment, from low to high, is as follows: ordinary personal equipment, super buildings, mass-produced personal equipment, and mass-produced super buildings.

A super-corporation built by a group of scientists would not manufacture such a "Tier 3 equipment" for the sake of one person's personal combat power, even if that person is a senior executive of the company.

This is not in line with their style.

They are wise men, not warriors.

Therefore, there is only one possibility: that the Diwang Group has already achieved mass production of this "wisdom staff".

"Interesting. It requires a Tier 3 weapon to be cracked. Fortunately, it's not Tier 4, otherwise there would be no way to solve it."

Level 4 civilizations are considered ascended civilizations, and their equipment is naturally also ascended equipment. Even in the universe, such equipment is extremely difficult to crack, and even if advanced civilizations intervene, brute force is quite ineffective.

After all, this involves choosing the path to ascension.

No two civilizations have exactly the same path to ascension.

However, Tier 3 equipment is different, especially among the rewards obtained by senior engineers, one of which is called "The Wise Man's Legacy".

"Bite--"

[Your faction points +30,000]

[Leadership Reputation +3000 points]

Earth's crust engine: Even in the mechanical world, only a civilization with heavy machinery could operate such an industrial creation. When you have enough Earth's crust engines, you can even move stars. Of course, this particular Earth's crust engine focuses more on energy storage. It extracts heat energy from the Earth's core and, through a complex process, ultimately converts it into pure energy.

"Finally, I can report back to Director Du," the senior engineer breathed a sigh of relief. As a new company, insufficient production capacity was the biggest problem, and no matter how capable he was, it was useless in this regard.

With this, the problem of insufficient production capacity will be greatly solved.

This is why the reward is so high, even for just a blueprint.

A quick glance at the faction templates revealed that the leader's reputation had surpassed 40,000, reaching '41,800' points. Once it reached 50,000 points, the boss template quest would be unlocked, and the senior engineer's fourth template would be secured.

When Dida saw Engineer G again, she saw him swinging a walking stick. The walking stick was silver-white, with strange patterns carved on the handle and a string of strange numbers at the base. Strangely, Dida recognized each number individually, but when the numbers were strung together, she could not recognize them.

With each turn of the walking stick, Dida seemed to see a series of 'three-dimensional digital models' taking shape. It looked like an electronic sand table, or a three-dimensional human figure. Dida even saw itself, a model of a young girl slowly taking shape as the walking stick turned.

The girl glanced at him and smiled slightly.

"What strange equipment."

Dida didn't dare look any longer and quickly said, "Those digital guards outside have retreated. Was that your doing, sir?"

"Hmm," the senior engineer didn't explain further. He turned around, stretched out his walking stick, and jabbed it into the space in front of him. A digital barrier appeared, then shattered, revealing the real space. There were creaking power equipment and a cryogenic chamber, specially made to resemble a morgue because of its proximity to the energy reactor.

Let's go.

Once in reality, Dida's form could no longer be maintained; she became transparent and was on the verge of disappearing. Without the 'bionic shell' to inject data, she would become an electronic ghost in less than five minutes, with her intelligent data scattered everywhere.

She opened her mouth, but before she could speak, a "ding" sounded, indicating that the task was completed.

[Mission complete. Reward: One Energy Shell Remodeling]

"So it was just a scene from the story."

Dida suddenly realized, and without saying a word, followed behind.

The two bypassed the energy bar insertion point and, as a large metal door opened, they arrived at the core of the 'Crust Engine'.

It was a huge toroidal reactor, with a reactor core every ten meters.

Unlike conventional nuclear reactors, it does not have a 'fuel loading port'. Its bottom is directly connected to the Earth's core, from which magma is extracted. With the help of the high temperature and pressure environment of the Earth's core, fission particles are directly extracted and then orbited on a 'ring energy orbit' for further energy reaction, purifying them into the most primitive energy.

Although it wasn't the first time I'd been amazed by high-tech buildings in a game, seeing this "super nuclear power plant" with a diameter of about thirty kilometers still left me deeply impressed.

As for the senior engineer, he had long since lost interest in such planetary architecture. Compared to the colossal structures, the third-tier building in front of him was nothing more than an ant.

The senior engineer closed his eyes, and the next moment, all the control panels around the 'ring energy track' lit up, and he began to adjust the parameters.

"Get out of here."

"Huh, huh!?"

Dida was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, the "wisdom staff" in the senior engineer's hand had already tapped the back of her head, pushing her away.

The female player did not fall into the "abyss". Instead, as the energy circuit lit up, she was sucked into the center of the "ring energy track" and disintegrated into various kinds of data.

The next moment, pure energy light shone from the nuclear reactor core, enveloping the other party.

The carefully adjusted parameters began to take effect, and at the same time, the "biological computer" was fully utilized. It was like building with blocks; during this process, any data that was not processed in time would trigger a chain reaction.

Carbon-based, information, energy, and machinery—among these, information and energy are the most closely related. Most of the ray-based and black hole-based species that migrate in the universe are species that are born from the reaction between these two.

Even so, creating such an energy shell from scratch requires at least three conditions.

First, the Earth's crust engine, a top-level energy-generating device.

Secondly, senior engineers, who are experienced in practical work, are also valuable assets.

Third, the 'life circuit' unique to energy species.

As someone aspiring to promote the "Rich Woman's Love" series to the entire universe, Mr. G naturally studied the XP of energy species—no, I mean the life structure—and has extensive experience in developing the Rich Woman's Love Energy Species Custom Edition.

The energy body he chose for the other party is called "Walter Energy Fungus," a fungus species that roams the Walter Galaxy. Although it is an energy life form, it possesses the characteristics of fungi, capable of spreading mycelium and capturing large amounts of cosmic radiation.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this characteristic that they were able to gradually transform into pure energy beings over a long period of time.

If the first and second-tier "energy fungi" are only strong in survival and information capture, but lacking in other aspects, then the third-tier ones are completely different.

Once fungal species reach the third tier, they undergo a transformation into 'human form'. The transformed energy fungi are also known as 'spirits'.

The Eldar also have a nickname, "Cosmic Elves," whose skill in manipulating energy and their various extraordinary talents easily place them in the top ten of the energy system.

This is a gift from the senior engineer to his old friend.

The senior engineer rubbed his temples, sighed, and muttered to himself, "If it weren't for an old acquaintance, who would cause trouble? All I need is bait."

The light grew brighter and brighter, and within it, an energy species with the upper body of a young girl and the lower body of a mushroom gradually took shape.

At the same time, Gaokesi's "virus intrusion operation" also came to an end, and she successfully paralyzed the entire network of the Earth Network Group's branches.

If it weren't for her actions, the operation on the engineer's side wouldn't have gone so smoothly. This girl single-handedly destroyed the clones of the four sages, displaying utter violence.

"Boss, we need to retreat. Mr. G sent a message."

"Retreat? What retreat?! Let's storm the Diwang Group headquarters and wipe them all out!"

"..."

Before the big black guy could figure out how to persuade his boss, Gaokesi suddenly narrowed his eyes, twirled the lollipop in his mouth, and raised the rocket launcher in his hand.

Not far away, as footsteps sounded, an old man slowly emerged from the data stream.
