The Boss-Pummeling Series

Anyone who's been in the workplace knows that when your boss says, "You figure it out yourself," it means you're going to be the one to take the blame.

So Chaston is really annoyed.

If everything goes smoothly and the Research Association able to enjoy the benefits of the "Electronic Brain Project," then receiving a top-tier development technology is perfectly acceptable.

Conversely, if you end up with nothing, the punishment will likely be doubled.

Faced with this situation, Chaston was not in a hurry and squinted at his own president.

He didn't believe the other person was really just a lazy bum.

So here's the question—

What does he really want?

"Chasseon, have you made up your mind?" the senior engineer suddenly asked.

"I've thought it over, and I'm willing to follow the president's arrangements," Chaston said decisively, contrary to his usual behavior.

"That's good."

The senior engineer smiled slightly:

"Then I'll go, but don't get your hopes up too high."

A flash of purple light, and the senior engineer vanished from his spot.

No monitoring equipment can tell how the senior engineer died.

"Is the rumor true?"

Many people looked on with surprise. Rumor had it that their leader possessed the ability to teleport to any place at any time.

If that's really the case, then it's terrifying!

In the area where the Northern and Southern Hemispheres meet, a small black dot is suddenly marked.

"The student council president has appeared!"

Like the 'equator' of a certain blue planet, the Machine Rift Star also has its own 'boundary between the northern and southern hemispheres', but it is not called the equator, but the 'Rift Boundary'.

The origin of this name is unknown, but it is said to be related to the world wars before World War II.

It was those world wars that established this planet's sphere of influence in the civilized era.

The rift also has similarities to the equator.

For example, they are all low-pressure areas with numerous islands along the way, and before the continental plates were destroyed, they were related to most of the planetary landforms on this planet.

But now, it is one of the ocean areas with the most concentrated radiation energy on this planet.

Maritime climates can bring up oceanic radiation, creating the planet's unique "radiation storms".

The island chain here is also one of the forward bases for the Dugo Group's advance. Large mechs stand like steel walls, guarding the front line of the Northern Hemisphere, using their steel shells to block the raging waves.

As long as a winner remains undecided in the Southern Hemisphere.

Therefore, it will be impossible to bomb these machine bases in the Northern Hemisphere with long-range weapons for even a day.

[You have entered a high-radiation area. Health recovery +100 points/second]

[You have entered a high-radiation area. Your organism has entered a recharging state, and your bio-energy has recovered by 100 points per second.]

As the senior engineer looked ahead, he saw a densely packed army of tens of thousands of mechs standing on the island chain.

Various maritime transport equipment at the rear continued to deliver mechs.

"Wow, that's impressive!"

The senior engineer looked up at the sky, mainly at the monitoring satellites above, which seemed to be giving off a confident smile.

Then it landed in front of a mech and patted its head.

"Hey, who's in charge? Come out and let's talk."

A series of buzzing sounds rang out.

Then a rather sharp sound rang out.

"Shut up, who are you?!"

This is the voice of a 'little woman'.

The senior engineer said lazily:

"Huang Yuanli, you don't even recognize your boss?"

"Excuse me, our boss is General Manager Du, and that ungrateful little wolf doesn't count."

"Damn it, you little woman, don't think I can't beat you up just because you're short. Come at me if you dare."

"Come here!"

"You shorty!!"

"You big bad wolf!!"

"You 007 working stiff!!"

"You useless, hands-off boss!!"

The two started spraying each other across the sea.

The surveillance equipment faithfully witnessed this, leaving many people, especially members of the Research Association, with a big question mark in their minds.

Does our own association president have even the slightest bit of authority?

Meanwhile, at the joint operations base of Dugo Technologies and Shengnao Group, apart from the young woman's loud outburst, the others couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

"Isn't it a bit unfair of us to treat our advisors like this?" a super hunter said, a voice that clearly belonged to an elder of the Cable Tribe.

"Then you should try to persuade her," Qin Zhenzi said, standing with her arms crossed, gesturing for him to look at Huang Yuanli in the distance.

"Ha, you should probably tell Yuanli to forget it. I'm afraid I'll get beaten up."

"What do we do now?"

Another person looked up and said.

"General Quill is asking at the front whether we should halt the offensive now?"

Several senior executives from the Dugo Group looked at each other, none of them able to make up their minds.

"Inform General Manager Du."

Soon, Mr. Du's secretary, Little Sprout, came downstairs with a strange expression and said:

"General Du said the plan remains unchanged; in addition, a special operational plan will be implemented."

"What makes this special operations plan so special?" Dr. Rong asked, puzzled.

"Mr. G has been captured alive!"

The senior engineer, enjoying the sea breeze, chatted with the young woman for a full ten minutes, separated by a new type of sea monster-shaped mecha.

Suddenly, a strong sense of vigilance arose in my heart.

An AI voice echoed from inside the mech—

Weapon system activated

Engine charging

Combat chip activating—

"Hey, what are you doing? I'm the boss! Are you trying to lay a hand on me?"

Despite his outward boasting, a hint of a smile flickered in his eyes.

The next moment, the mech suddenly lifted the shield, and two mechanical claws shot out, aiming directly at the senior engineer.

The senior engineer dodged it quite easily, but his expression seemed even more "furious".

The next moment, ten large mechs took off. The mechanical energy of these mechs all exceeded one million, which would be considered "A-level" even among radiation beasts.

This is the latest super mech from Dugo Technologies – Pioneer.

On these ten Pioneer aircraft, cannons were visible, and a specially designed positioning system was aimed at the senior engineer.

"So you really want to fight me?"

The senior engineer grabbed his hand, and the max-level military hacker sub-profession activated, with wide-ranging hacking features lit up. The three hacking skills, 'collateral infection', 'high-speed cracking', and 'Virtual Invasion', were activated almost simultaneously.

Co-infection: As a result of causing a small amount of virus invasion to the target, the effect of this skill can spread to all targets within a 10-meter radius and cause secondary infection. Infection limit: 5 times.

Note: This skill can be used in conjunction with other hacking skills.

High-speed cracking: It can deconstruct targets such as Electronic Barrier at a speed ten times faster than Virtual Invasion, and can achieve infection-like cracking of integrated/distributed Electronic Barrier.

Virtual Invasion (Modified) (Expert Level): A meticulously improved intrusion protocol by a genius young hacker, increasing intrusion speed by 40% and reducing the cooldown time for quickly cracking humanoid AI by 30%.

In an instant, the electronic eyes of the large mecha flickered, and the 'positioning system' displayed various garbled characters.

"It's still not working quite right."

"Who are you saying isn't up to par?"

One of the mechs suddenly had a human-like glint in its eyes, and with a nimble flick of its energy cannon, a thick laser beam accurately targeted someone.

"Huh? Isn't that a drone mech?"

The senior engineer also flicked his wrist, and a large energy shield appeared, blocking the shot.

"And that voice, Xiaoju?"

The senior engineer still had some impression of the few genius mech pilots in his faction.

Moreover, this little chrysanthemum is also a veteran of the cable tribe.

"I thought you'd lost your job after the drone mech was developed," the senior engineer complained.

"Sorry, I'm not Xiaoju, but Xiaoju Consciousness Pack 0 version."

The same sound suddenly came from another mech.

More than a dozen mecha arms shot out, unleashing beams of energy that slashed at the "mosquito" like the senior engineer from all sorts of tricky angles.

These energy blade strikes may seem silent, but they are more dangerous than sonic booms because mechs can perform more complex maneuvers than humans.

"Are you also Xiaoju?"

The senior engineer also focused more intently, but still asked with doubt:

"I don't recall our camp ever doing human cloning."

"It's the concept of 'consciousness packet technology,' boss. Don't you remember me at all?"

A very irritating voice rang out from inside the mech.

"Mainframe?"

"That's right, boss. I combined the consciousness package technology of the Neural Editing Group with some artificial intelligence algorithms to create the 'Mech Consciousness Package'."

"Once a hacker breaks in, these mechs will disconnect from the network and enter a 'consciousness package state.' These consciousness packages are like temporary data personalities, possessing 80% of the original mech pilot's operating skills."

"Xiaoju's mecha piloting skills are probably among the top three here."

The senior engineer's lips twitched slightly.

"Does that mean I have to deal with ten Kikus at the same time?"

"Hehe, boss, I did a great job, didn't I!"

The mainframe chuckled strangely.

"And not ten, but a hundred!"

Another ninety "Pioneers" took to the air.

Faced with the siege of so many "million-level mechs", and with the pilot being a top expert among tens of thousands, even a senior engineer was somewhat flustered.

"Your efficiency is incredible!"

The senior engineer gritted his teeth in anger.

The [Consciousness Pack Technology] is a faction-specific black technology, so it's not surprising that it produces such abnormal effects.

Do you working-class people really have to work so hard?

The corporate wars haven't even ended, and new technologies are already being implemented?

"Hehe, I just want to do well in the new company, don't I?"

"..."

For a moment, the senior engineer's emotions were quite complicated.

"Wait a minute," the senior engineer suddenly said, "You just said that the data personalities are temporary, which means that these 'fake Xiaoju's' online time is limited, right?"

"Of course, the 'Consciousness Pack' can only be downloaded, and the online time ends when the download is complete."

The host brain's tone shifted:

"However, given the current hostile dynamics, I cannot tell you the exact timeframe."

"Ha, traitor."

The senior engineer replied coldly.

Then a woman's high-pitched scream came through the communicator.

"You're the fucking traitor!!!!"

Oh, sorry, I almost forgot, I'm the traitor.

This damn sense of immersion in the protagonist's feet is incredible.

Let's get things under control first.

Although Orochi Mode is currently unavailable, the "Transformation" ability is still possible.

In an instant, the A-rank bloodline 'Mother of Darkness' mode was activated.

The senior engineer was like a black sun, drawing in the dark light, which then erupted from his core, sweeping away all the surrounding mechs.

This special "black radiation" has an energy-blocking effect.

In other words, the energy supply system inside the mech can be directly cut off.

As expected, this move caused the Pioneer mech to fall into the rain.

To the engineer's surprise, the mechs did not sink to the bottom of the sea. Instead, they fell to a depth of 2,000 meters and were already wobbling but still able to control their bodies.

The other mechanical modules were still creaking, but the X-shaped reactor on his chest was shining brighter and brighter, directly controlling all the mechanical systems.

Looking at the familiar 'X' shape, the senior engineer's lips twitched slightly.

The only difference between this thing and the X-shaped reactor in my chest—

His own reactor was only the size of a fist, while the other's was as big as a water tank.

This thing is already in mass production.

He finally understood where the other party's "million-level" mechanical energy came from.

Only high technology that can be mass-produced is true high technology.

At the same time, a Tier 2 - Normal level quest was triggered.

The mission name is really annoying—

[Beat Up the Boss Series - Part 1]

Is this some kind of chain mission?
