New Faction Quest
The success rate of cultivating mutants is extremely low, especially for A-grade and S-grade mutants, which are basically one in ten thousand.
Cultivating these advanced mutants also consumes a great deal of resources.
They have absolutely no potential for mass production.
Therefore, with the development of biotechnology, a new scientific idea was proposed: "Synthetic humans".
"Synthetic humans?"
Du Zhaodi's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She had heard of this concept.
This is a new human species developed based on cloning technology.
Theoretically speaking, once developed, these "synthetic humans" would possess at least the strength of an A-level mutant.
According to the system level, it is a level 50 second-tier species.
Furthermore, these "synthetic humans" have another advantage: they can be mass-produced like clones.
Once these advanced cannon fodder units are developed, the entire landscape of the planet Ji Lie will be rewritten.
However, Du Zhaodi did not like this approach.
As a traditional woman, she was also planning to carry on the Gao family line.
I haven't even given birth yet, what kind of crap are you developing?
However, as the person in a superior position, Du Zhaodi managed to suppress this resentment quite well.
After chatting for a while longer and seeing off the representative of the Sacred Brain Group, Du Zhaodi pressed a button. A moment later, a holographic projection appeared, showing Qin Zhenzi's figure.
"President Du," Qin Zhenzi said respectfully.
"Hmm, how did the talks go?"
As early as the start of the war, Du Zhaodi dispatched Qin Zhenzi as a diplomatic representative to secretly contact those mercenary groups.
She didn't believe that all mercenary organizations were willing to unconditionally obey the "Eternal Life Foundation's" arrangements and become their expendable resources.
There must be one or two rebellious souls.
And indeed, Qin Zhenzi secretly contacted several high-ranking members of mercenary organizations.
"That's pretty good. They've now softened their stance and indicated they're willing to secretly leak information to us."
Du Zhaodi said indifferently, "This is not unexpected."
In the course of this war, the Dugo Group lost 500,000 drones in just one month.
As the attacking side, the enemy will suffer heavy casualties.
After Du Zhaodi returned, the efficiency of their own camp in producing weapons increased by 1000%.
Give these planetary natives a little shock of 'interstellar war'.
Qin Zhenzi, however, said excitedly:
"It wasn't just some small organizations; even high-ranking members of the 'Tiber Defense System' contacted me."
"Tiber Defense, are you sure?"
The Tiber Defense System is the top military contractor on the planet of the Machine Rift, renowned for its powerful firepower and even capable of building its own mechanical legions.
Even the now-rising Dugo Group is half a level below it.
Such a super-employment group is likely a key target for the "Eternal Life Conglomerate" to win over, hence Du Zhaodi's question.
"Tiber Defense's stock has been acquired by the Yong Sheng conglomerate through various means, with 4% of it being acquired, essentially giving them control. The Yong Sheng conglomerate is even able to bypass Tiber Defense's management and directly contact its corporate will."
Qin Zhenzi paused for a moment, then said:
"But that's precisely why this generation of Titans under Tiber Defense is unwilling to be puppets, so they contacted us."
"So that's how it is."
The management of Titan Defense calls themselves the "Titan Clan," and each of them is a super-large mechanical engineer. Rumor has it that they once had the opportunity to acquire "Cybertron Technology," so the weapon systems they developed are generally a level above those on the market.
"They gave me a piece of information."
Qin Zhenzi said with a serious expression:
"The Eternal Life Conglomerate is searching for our 'Mech Factory' and has already located its coordinates."
Du Zhaodi glanced at the entire coordinate system, her eyebrows raised. This coordinate system was one of Dugo Technologies's largest underground production bases.
Meanwhile, the foundation is also thriving in the Southern Hemisphere.
After launching a corporate war and successfully eliminating three companies that were "faking" their operations, the foundation members suddenly had an epiphany and understood a principle.
That is, gang fights are so much fun!
Nearly 30 companies mobilized all their military forces to gang up on other companies, disrupt their brain-computer interface projects, and disqualify them from participating in Electronic Brain Project.
This feeling is incredibly refreshing!
So, without Mr. G having to give a personal account, these members spontaneously began to take action, organizing themselves into "weapons departments," "logistics departments," and "scientific research departments."
The goal is clear: to eliminate other companies in the Southern Hemisphere.
The winners of the third stage must be chosen from among their own members.
Another positive development emerged during the war.
That is the addition of players.
Currently, there are over 100,000 players employed by the "Mr. G Research Association (named by the foundation)".
There are two reasons for this.
Firstly, Gao, a former veteran player, has always taken care of these minor disasters.
Compared to other organizations that require fulfilling various "prerequisites," "building reputation," and "completing tasks," joining the "Research Association" is much easier, with virtually no entry barriers.
The key is the great benefits; you can even "buy chips" and "drive Gundams."
Another reason is that the "Research Association" has various "models" of brain-computer interfaces. As a player with all sorts of quirky ideas, you can choose any brain-computer interface and let your imagination run wild.
However, if you join another camp, you often only have one brain-computer interface option.
Therefore, thanks to the efforts of this army of hundreds of thousands of fearless players who can be resurrected after death.
The military power of individual enterprises was destroyed, and "artificial data" was controlled and transformed.
A bizarre and massive "corporate alliance" was thus born in a rather haphazard way.
The core reason why these companies were able to cooperate on resources was, of course, the mysterious Mr. G.
After all, the news that he had sunk a continent had already spread within the "Research Association".
Those who had ulterior motives became loyal.
Those without ulterior motives became even more fanatical.

[You have earned the title of 'Mall Leader']
Business Leader: You organized a large-scale business summit and played a pivotal role in it. Many of the entrepreneurs who participated expressed their sincere respect for you and acknowledged your industry standing. Leadership Reputation +2000
Because of the performance of the enterprise alliance, the senior engineer's reputation increased by 10,000.
In addition, there's the 2000 from the "Alliance Leader".
The senior engineer did nothing, yet the most difficult faction attribute to increase, 'Leader Reputation', surged by 12,000 points to reach 71,800 points.
We are very close to becoming the second "leadership model" for senior engineers.
"That's interesting."
The senior engineer clicked his tongue and turned to look at the mission from the other faction.
To be honest, the passive activation of this faction mission was something he had never expected.
[Faction Quest: The Crisis at the 'Mech Factory']
Difficulty:?
Mission Briefing: The Eternal Life Conglomerate has noticed that the Dugo Group's "mech swarm tactics" are greatly hindering their military operations, so it has dispatched several super mercenary teams to try to destroy the enemy's logistics and disrupt their mech tactics; this is a dangerous special operation, and if not stopped, it will greatly affect the faction's strategy.
Mission Objective: Destroy all mercenary forces (the mission reward increases for each super mercenary squad destroyed).
Basic Rewards: 50 million Faction Experience, 100,000 Faction Points, 4,000 Leader Reputation, and five random Faction Blueprints.
Special Reward: For each super mercenary squad destroyed, the faction gains 10 million experience points and a random enemy modification technology drops.
Faction Rewards: Unknown
"There are even faction rewards!"
In all the tasks Gao Gong has done, he has never received any "faction rewards".
This only proves one thing: once this hurdle is overcome, the strength of the Dugo Group will be qualitatively enhanced.
The senior engineer was well aware of the advantages of having an extra "ship girl" in his faction.
After all, in his previous life, his faction also included ship girls, whose powerful buffs transformed him from an ordinary virtual faction into one capable of waging an "interstellar war" against mechanical civilizations.
This is the third major task currently under the senior engineer's purview.
The other two are [Planetary Mission: The Adventists - The Elimination of the Contaminated] and [Leader Reputation Mission: The Mastermind Behind the Electronic Brain Project]
The former are believers who are dealing with the "Memory Matrix".
The latter is a template task that requires becoming the winner of the Electronic Brain Project.
This is the third one.
The only question is, how did he, as the leader of the faction and the mastermind behind it all, find out about something so important from the mission panel?
The senior engineer angrily answered Director Du's encrypted call, but to his surprise, the person appearing on the holographic screen was a sexy and capable career woman, Qin Zhenzi.
Before the senior engineer could speak, Qin Zhenzi said expressionlessly:
"President Du said she will handle this matter herself, so please don't worry, Mr. Gao."
The senior engineer was furious. "Is this how you talk to your superiors? Believe me, I'll cut off your insurance!"
However, a charming smile suddenly appeared on Qin Zhenzi's face. She crossed her arms over her chest, and her B-cup breasts were squeezed out to look like a C-cup.
"President Du also said that President Gao has important matters to attend to, and this small matter shouldn't trouble him."
The senior engineer said angrily:
"Are you sure you can handle this? Those super mercenaries are all experts at decapitation; don't try anything funny."
"You can rest assured, Mr. Du has already made all the arrangements. Just prepare to win without lifting a finger."
Winning without lifting a finger is G's ultimate goal, but the senior engineer still couldn't help but say, "I know that the modified Director Du is very strong, but you guys shouldn't be reckless. If it really comes down to it, I'll make time to go there. Anyway, I can run fast."
"No, really, no need..."
Qin Zhenzi smiled and declined the senior engineer's help. After chatting for a while, she hung up the call.
Saint Brain Group Headquarters —
"How?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Du, Mr. Gao is very honest. He didn't even look at me inappropriately, and he cares about you a lot."
Director Du nodded in satisfaction. With a thought, the sky darkened, and a huge interstellar ship appeared in the sky.
Tier III Starship, Cybertronian Destroyer - Great Scimitar
With a flash of light, the two disappeared.
