This was the first time the big black guy had ever seen Gaokesi show such an expression—solemn, excited, nervous, and eager to try.

As for Gaokesi himself, this was also the first time he had encountered such an enemy.

Almost the instant they met, her intuition told her that she had encountered a terrifying opponent.

An opponent of a much higher level than her.

The old man stopped walking, raised his cloudy old eyes, and in his field of vision, one Gaokesi after another appeared, some arrogant, some crazy, with more and more tattoos on their bodies.

"Kindness?"

The old man suddenly lowered his head and looked at one of Gaokesi "Gaokesi," which was petite, cute, weak, and pitiful.

This is not Gaokesi, but Gao Yuanyuan, her other personality.

In reality, Gao Yuanyuan suddenly raised her head, a look of confusion flashing across her face. Just a moment ago, she suddenly felt like she was being watched.

"Court death!!"

This same feeling also appeared in Gaokesi's heart. Almost simultaneously, the girl's eyes turned bloodshot, and the shark rocket in her hand quickly transformed from two meters to a ten-meter-long 'giant rocket'.

The suspended weapons took shape one by one, and the red light instantly covered the surroundings—Tier 3 Virus Domain!

In this domain, distance, time, and location are all controlled, making any attack unavoidable.

The next moment, the girl pulled the trigger, and the "giant rocket" roared to life. Trojans, electronic worms, system vulnerabilities, data monsters—thousands upon thousands of viruses—instantly overwhelmed the target.

However, all the viruses automatically disintegrated within half a meter of the elderly person, turning into the most primitive code and scattering all over the ground.

These virus variants, carefully selected from database 0, were easily "detected and eliminated".

"Boss, something's not right! Could this old man be someone like Aunt Elisa?"

Aunt Elisa, for example, is naturally a big data monster and one of the controllers of cyberspace.

Gaokesi glared at the other person, then suddenly opened his mouth and spat out the half-eaten lollipop, revealing a monstrous smile.

"It's probably not that simple."

As she spoke, all the tattoos on Gaokesi's petite body lit up, turning red and hot, and at the same time, an indescribable aura of danger began to appear.

The surrounding viruses all changed their expressions and quickly scattered. You should know that Gaokesi had earned the infamous title of "Rampaging Lolita" in Virus Database 0 in this form.

She is also the only little monster who dares to fight any virus hand-to-hand.

In the blink of an eye, Gaokesi appeared in front of her opponent, her small fist, trailing red smoke, suddenly appearing before her and slamming down hard.

Once Gaokesi enters "Virus Burning Mode," he can gain a virus detection and killing ability comparable to "Cyber Killer" by burning the viruses within his body.

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly. Just like the previous virus bomb, Gaokesi's fist disintegrated into the most primitive code the moment it made contact. Starting from the fist, half of Gaokesi's arm disappeared.

As a girl who loves violence, Gaokesi always turns her pain simulation up to 120%. Her motto is. "To make others suffer, you must feel pain yourself."

So, when her arm was severed, the pain signals surged into Gaokesi's brain like a tidal wave, causing her eyes to instantly fill with bloodshot veins.

"Aaaaaaaahh..."

However, the next moment, blood and flesh surged from the cut on the girl's arm, and a fist instantly formed, slamming hard into the other person's face.

The old man, who had always been so adept and unfathomable, tilted his head back for the first time, his forehead withered and dry, revealing a complex flow of data through the crack in his forehead.

"Hahahaha, die! Die! Die!!!"

Gaokesi began to beat his opponent mercilessly, at a speed too fast for the naked eye to see. Although each blow would break a hand or foot, and even a headbutt would leave half a head missing, this "Rampaging Lolita" would always recover in the next moment.

After being tested in Virus Repository 0, she seemed to have acquired a strange ability, unlike a virus or an AI. If one had to describe it, it would be more like a cyber killer, an unkillable cyber killer within cyberspace.

And her fists are capable of destroying the opponent's foundation from the very bottom.

Even cyber assassins don't possess this ability.

The old man went from being nonchalant at first, to being puzzled now, and finally, he spoke.

"Elisa, just how much virus code did she implant in you? What does she want to do?"

"I want your life!!"

Gaokesi's speed exploded, and he attacked again. This time, the old man finally tried to dodge. However, at some point, the big black guy appeared behind him, his arms clasped together, and a viscous black code liquid enveloped the old man.

Ordinary viruses, no, even the most advanced viruses, wouldn't be able to trap the elderly. However, this time, a 'bug' was quietly hidden within the black virus.

This bug is called "monitor black screen".

His vision went black for a moment, and by the time he came to his senses, the small fist had already smashed through half of his forehead like a burning ember.

The massive amount of recombined code was destroyed by another, even larger amount of data.

If I were to take this attack head-on, I would definitely die!

The old man let out a long sigh, and the space seemed to freeze at that sigh.

His face quickly became younger, like that of a middle-aged man.

Then, a colorless flame ignited from the crack on his forehead.

Then, Gaokesi was suspended in mid-air, like an insect in amber, its body surface a colorless flame burning.

"Boss!"

Big Black's expression changed drastically. However, without Gaokesi's restraint, the old man only glanced back at him, and the level 50 super virus was paralyzed on the spot.

However, the old man did not kill him, because Gaokesi was not dead.

Yes, even the colorless fire, which was said to be on par with the "planetary host firewall," failed to burn the girl alive. The viral tattoos on her skin began to merge, turning into an indescribable black pattern that began to frantically resist the invasion of the flames.

Influenced by these patterns, Gaokesi's eyes gradually turned bright red, something that was very novel even to the old man.

Besides these, two other forces are rapidly surging in: one relatively weak but arriving extremely quickly, and the other very familiar...

"Elisa, why are you opposing me? You know, I'm the host that's most friendly to you all."

The old man shook his head, reverted to his previous appearance, and shakily disappeared into the darkness.

As the colorless fire disappeared, Gaokesi fell directly down, but was caught by a tremendous force. Amidst endless light and code, there was a being in a cyberspace who was comparable to a goddess—except that she was a bit bloated.

"Auntie, you've finally come!" The big, dark-skinned man almost burst into tears.

Elisa frowned as she looked at the spot where the old man had disappeared. She was a little confused; wasn't he presiding over a fortress meeting at that moment?

Meanwhile, in reality, Gao Yuanyuan sat down heavily, drenched in sweat and panting.

With the help of the AI captured by the EarthNet Group and the actions of the Gaokesi family, the engineer finally completed his final mission as a hacker.

[Your job change quest 'AI War' has been completed]

[You have acquired Tier 2 professional knowledge: Brain-Computer Interface]

[You invested 200,000 experience points, upgrading your military hacking skill to level 2]

[You invested 200,000 experience points, upgrading your military hacking skill to level 3.]

[You invested 300,000 experience points, upgrading your military hacking skill to level 4.]

[You invested 300,000 experience points, upgrading your military hacking skill to level 5.]

Your professional hacking skill, "Military Hacker" (Advanced Cyber Hacker), has reached its maximum level.

[You spent 200,000 experience points to upgrade [Electronic Information Engineering] to level 10]

You spent 200,000 experience points to upgrade [Military AI Manufacturing] to level 10.

[You spent 200,000 experience points to upgrade [Encryption Technology] to level 10]

[You spent 200,000 experience points to upgrade [Brain-Computer Interface] to level 10]

[Should we invest one million experience points to merge professional knowledge chains?]

The senior engineer took a deep breath and chose to merge.

[Virtual Invasion] + [Cyber Programming Languages] + [Electronic Hacker's Handbook] + [Cyberpunk] + [Virtual System Modification] + [Electronic Information Engineering] + [Military AI Manufacturing] + [Encryption Technology] + [Brain-Computer Interface]

All max-level knowledge was dragged into the 'Crafting Panel' and merged into one column.

[Merger successful. You have acquired the second-order professional knowledge chain "Neural Editing Technology"]

Neural editing technology (brain-based civilization): Carbon-based species have infinite development potential. Neural editing is the development of their virtual measurement potential. After neural editing is completed, carbon-based organisms can directly connect to the virtual world and master a much larger flow of information than information organisms.

In the future, the Planet Brain-Computer Project, led by the three mother cities, will be based on two professional knowledge chains.

One is called "mechanical brain technology," and the other is "neural editing technology" used by Cyber Hacker.

"It's much better than I expected," the senior engineer thought to himself.

If you have a corresponding secondary role in the knowledge chain, things are a bit easier. But if you don't have a secondary role activated, it's like finding a needle in a haystack—the chances are incredibly low.

At this point, the senior engineer had gathered the two knowledge chains he needed to counter the brain-computer interface project: electronic life chips and neural editing technology.

For the rest, just blindly gamble on the blueprints.

However, there was still one thing to do. The senior engineer glanced at the "Mushroom Girl" behind him. The girl was still in the process of adapting.

Now that he had the bait, he could try fishing, and the big fish he caught was none other than Honkai Collapse Entity, the Purple Energy String.
