Cooperation on the Superweapon Project

The members of the Valkyrie Legion are all disabled individuals with spatial abilities, and these special cells had already been extracted and implanted into Valkyrie's body. Due to the Crimson Queen's talent, replication was easily achieved.

Therefore, Valkyrie, like the high-ranking engineer, can now teleport.

The next breath, a crack opened in the conference room, and Valkyrie walked in carrying someone, casually placing him on the table.

The meeting room was small, and there were only three people: Director Du, Professor Han, and an old man with a stern face.

"I've already said, don't use your abilities lightly at the testing base," Director Du said, frowning.

Valkyrie glanced at her but didn't say anything, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

"Haha, Director Du, how about it? Does my current state evoke any maternal feelings in you?"

The baby squeezed out a "Crayon Shin-chan"-like smile, and using both hands and feet, quickly climbed into her arms, nestled against her—well, let's just say, slightly ample breasts.

Du Zhaodi never gets angry with the senior engineer. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and surprisingly, she skillfully picked up the baby, a smile playing on her lips as she gently rocked him.

I wonder if I'll get beaten if I ask for milk now?

"Little Valkyrie, come here," Professor Han smiled and beckoned to the neglected Valkyrie. Valkyrie's cold expression softened a bit, and she walked directly behind Professor Han, gently massaging his shoulders.

Compared to the senior engineer who is away from home most of the year, Valkyrie was practically raised by Professor Han and is much closer to him; the two are like grandfather and grandson.

The other elderly man remained indifferent to the situation, his expression cold.

The old man's name was Zhou Bingtian. He wasn't well-known. According to Director Du, he was her former superior at the factory.

But his addition added 50,000 faction points to the entire "Hunter Faction".

He also had another identity—an advisor to the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ancient Empire.

Professor Han found out about her identity; even Du Zhaodi herself didn't know.

To put it simply, before he joined, the entire Dugo Technologies only had five super-large mechs and more than thirty regular mechs. His arrival doubled that number.

What's even more interesting is that the other party didn't show much excitement towards the "last crown prince of the empire," let alone bow down in reverence.

The senior engineer had been wanting to talk to him, but hadn't had a good opportunity.

Director Du teased his "son," while Professor Han enjoyed a massage from his "granddaughter," creating a subtly harmonious atmosphere.

This atmosphere ended when two holographic projections flashed by.

"You... you're Boss Gao?!"

In the holographic projection, Miao Miaomiao was about to greet Director Du when she saw someone rubbing against Director Du's chest like a bug, and she was immediately dumbfounded.

The senior engineer glanced sideways and said irritably, "What, you don't actually think I can get away unscathed after fighting that number one rebel, do you?"

Miao Miaomiao and the other person in the holographic projection exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of relief.

To be honest, the higher-ups at Mas's were quite taken aback when they learned that android A had suddenly appeared and almost interfered with the experiment.

Individual physical strength is virtually useless in a corporate organizational structure, with almost no exceptions.

However, android A is such an exception.

Corporate executives are not afraid of death. Not to mention that their tight and powerful defenses make it almost impossible for enemies to decapitate them, even if they are killed on the spot, their gene clones, uploaded thoughts, and consciousness sub-bodies are enough to make these big shots have "immortality" just like players.

Of course, unlike players, this kind of "immortality" has many limitations.

However, these corporate executives were completely helpless against this guy with explosive combat power. If A wanted to, he could kill any executive, no matter how many times you resurrected, he would kill from beginning to end. Even using "civilized weapons" could not stop him.

Several senior executives once tried to arrest and investigate him, but the result was naturally quite tragic; not only were they killed, but their companies almost went under.

In the past few years, the other party has focused its attention on the mother city, and the two sides have maintained a state of mutual non-interference. But even so, this person is ranked among the top three super dangerous individuals on all companies' blacklists.

So when Miao Miaomiao heard that the other party had suddenly appeared and even had a relationship with this Boss Gao, she was shocked.

Only a company like Mas, which recklessly pursues experiments and disregards everything else, can cooperate with the senior engineer. Any other company, even a level-five or monopolistic one, would probably betray him on the spot.

Therefore, when the final result was obtained—that android A had fought a major battle with the senior engineer, and that someone had even escaped unscathed—basically the entire upper echelon of Mas's company was alarmed.

How could my partner be so awesome?

They even held a high-level meeting specifically for this.

Fortunately, it seems that the other party has not yet reached the 'A' level, which has given them some relief.

But this doesn't mean we can underestimate the other party, because even our own "forbidden test subject" couldn't withstand more than a few blows from A, and might even be instantly killed.

Nanotechnology is absolutely a game-changer for a Level 2 civilization.

They exchanged a glance, their eyes burning even more intensely.

Behind every powerful entity lies cutting-edge military technology. In retrospect, the serious injury to the senior engineer is actually a good thing, indicating that the other party's technology is not yet mature, which suggests that there is an opportunity for cooperation between the two sides.

"And you are?"

Director Du looked at another holographic projection. This one had a very strange body shape, with a high bulging spine and hands hanging down, looking like a dog standing upright.

And this "dog" has all sorts of tubes and wires on its body.

He looked like a homeless, psychotic patient.

"Please allow me to introduce myself, Ms. Du. My name is Doug, and I am the head of the Human Weapons Department at Mas Edge."

"The main reason we're here is to thank Mr. Gao for his help with our experiments. Also, we hope to recover the 'Fifth Generation Metal Heart.'"

Director Du narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything, but the senior engineer tugged at his open-crotch pants and got up arrogantly.

"So small!" Miao Miaomiao thought to herself.

"Before discussing the results of this experiment, shouldn't we discuss my losses—"

"Yes!"

The other party's straightforward answer left the senior engineer speechless, and he looked him up and down suspiciously. Was he really that easy to talk to?

Words are no proof, and Mr. Doug bowed slightly, his attitude extremely humble.

"We have been partners for many years, and it's natural that you shouldn't bear the burden of our losses. Considering that we are both emerging companies facing pressure from established players, I believe that cooperation, especially in 'key areas,' is inevitable."

"We have two 'super weapon' proposals that we would like to develop together with you."

A super weapon program? Isn't that just a "weapon of civilization"? Why are you being so generous?

Soon, they received the other side's superweapon data: superweapon code A and superweapon code C.

Weapon C was the "pigment weapon" they used to stop the mechanical pioneer.

While Director Du and her team were still verifying the authenticity of the other party's information, the senior engineer had already received a system notification.

[You have acquired the Tier 3 Civilization Building [Liquid Weapon Printer], Faction Points +40,000, Your Leader Reputation +5,000]

[You have acquired the Tier 3 Civilization Building [Cyborg Manipulator], Faction Points +40,000, Your Leader Reputation +5,000]

[Your leader reputation has reached 51,800, meeting the requirements. The "Faction Leader Quest" is now available.]

Activating the "Leadership Mission" means that the fourth boss template for the Senior Engineer is secured.

The boss template is the biggest difference between players and NPCs. In a sense, it is also the NPC's cheat code. As long as you have the boss template, you have the ability to crush players.

The senior engineer currently has three boss templates, or more accurately, two and a half templates: Radiation Field Mastery, Legendary Hunter, and Gene Leader. Among them, Gene Leader is only 2/3 complete, and is still incomplete.

Among them, mastering the radiation field was the easiest to obtain, probably because the senior engineer level was too low at the time, and the task was not difficult.

The Legendary Hunter is a reward for the Senior Engineer to open up a new career path, while the Gene Leader is a part of what he obtained after completing a hellish mission and exiling Cloud City.

The current template is undoubtedly due to the concept of 'establishing a faction'.

However, the senior engineer did not open the task, but closed the system and looked at the two of them with a strange gaze.

Offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft. Is this person trying to cheat or steal from me?

Doug understood that if he couldn't explain himself clearly, it might hinder future cooperation, so he said earnestly, "Our CEO Ma wants to jointly develop your three 'super weapons'."

"Furthermore, we hope that when the time is right, we can ask you to help hunt down that android 'A'!"

"Hunting A?"

Even Du Zhaodi, who was checking the technical data, looked up and frowned, saying, "I thought our cooperation was limited to the technical level."

Clearly, she was extremely reluctant for the senior engineer to take any risks, especially facing such a terrifying enemy.

"There are many kinds of technology, military technology is technology too," the senior engineer gave Director Du a reassuring look, then revealed a shrewd, businessman-like smile, rubbing his hands together—

"Cooperation? Very good. Let's discuss the specific terms of cooperation. I'm sure your terms are quite generous."

Judging from the other party's expression, the senior engineer understood that he had successfully fooled the other party by using the parts of the three "super weapons" and his own performance.

He felt that his new mechanical body was finally settled!
