Cyber Engine

Xiao Yu, the Xiao family's number one genius, the pilot of the Omen Machine, the God of War, and the pilot of the Seventh Honkai Impact, died a rather pathetic death.

Around the time the white insect egg reached its limit, about the size of a basketball court, its entire body burst open, turning into a pool of insect eggs. The eggs quickly became transparent and disappeared.

Near the coastline, Xiao Yuanshan was also in trouble. As a fellow "polluter," he would be the second to suffer if the memory worms ran out of nutrients.

A large amount of information light overflowed from his body and flowed into the space. The heavy and domineering armor, which looked like it was made of steel, disappeared without a trace in a few breaths. What remained was only the bony body. Xiao Yuanjun opened his mouth wide, his cloudy old eyes seemed to recall something, and something seemed to flow from the corner of his eyes.

However, his expression froze.

Endless golden light burst forth from the beast tide, and a figure in black slowly walked towards him, his resolute eyes calmly watching him.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

"Xiao Qing, do you know what treason is?"

Xiao Yuanjun gave a strange smile. He wanted to say something, but his tongue had disappeared.

But in the eyes of "Black Prince", he understood what the other party meant.

"So, as a first-rank mechanical dragon-tiger general, do you have any objections to having the crown prince carry out the beheading?"

Xiao Yuanjun lowered his head with difficulty.

The Black Prince drew his ship-slaying sword, and the next moment, countless golden sword lights rose from behind him.

A flash of light, and a head fell to the ground.

The appearance of "Black Prince" gradually became clearer, revealing Xiao Yu's face. His silly expression was gone, replaced by a rare serious look.

At the same time, a system notification sounded—

[Planetary Mission: The Adventists - The Removal of the Corruptors - Mission Completed]

[Mission Rewards: 5 million experience, 10 specialization points, one random Tier 3 blueprint, planetary reputation +1, history timeline change +1%]

At the same time, a huge starship appeared in the sky, shooting out searchlight-like beams of light. Every beam of light that landed on the Royal Guards instantly caused them to disappear.

This is a recall function unique to starships.

Soon, all the Imperial Guards disappeared from sight.

Then Xiao Yu was also summoned there.

Finally, it was the senior engineer's turn. After a quick tour, he appeared in the starship's cockpit, opposite Director Du, whose computer was covered in wires.

Xiao Yu stood beside him, holding the ship-slaying sword, staring blankly, seemingly lost in thought.

The senior engineer directly opened the faction panel. As his own NPC, he could observe the other party's attributes without even needing to probe.

If he wasn't seeing things, he had just seen the "Black Prince," who was actually the "Black Emperor of the End"!

Black Prince Possession: As the previous owner of the 'Soul Armor', the Black Prince left a fragment of his soul on the 'Black Emperor'. Only imperial citizens who are recognized by the Crown Prince can inherit the true legacy of the Black Emperor.

Name: Black Prince (Soul State)

Classes: Mechanical Emperor (Level 30), Royal Guard Commander (Level 30), Child of the End (Level 20, Special)

Total Level: 80

Health: 0

Mechanical energy: 33 million

Skills: Royal Mechanical Blade (Tier 2 - Master), Blade Emperor (Tier 2 - Master), Great Xia Gun Force (Tier 2 - Master), Mechanical Body Control (Tier 2 - Master), Ten Thousand Blades Domain (Tier 2 - Expert)...

Template: Crown Prince of Great Xia, Imperial Guard, Orphan of a Fallen Kingdom, Commander of the Expeditionary Force, Child of the Soul (incomplete)

Summoning duration: 30 minutes

Upon seeing the dozen or so "Master Skills," the senior engineer exclaimed in amazement.

When they saw the five templates, even someone's eyes lit up. Each of these templates looked much more respectable than "The King and the Clown".

Am I destined to be an immoral person for the rest of my life?

"33 million units of mechanical energy—that's probably the highest I've ever seen among NPCs. Wow, what a monster!"

In other words, it was a devastating blow from the "mother city's power." Otherwise, in a different scenario, the "orphan of a fallen kingdom" would have become the "restoration ruler."

He patted Xiao Yu's head and asked, "Is this a case of 'fools have good luck,' or did you just happen to get the protagonist's template?"

Your boss, me, worked so hard, selling my body countless times, and only got 4 templates in return.

Fortunately, this move only lasted for 30 minutes, which barely allowed the senior engineer to regain his balance.

"There's something I need your opinion on," Du Zhaodi, opening her eyes.

Compared to Sister Rose, who only cares about the senior engineer's performance in bed and ignores his contributions to his career, Director Du is more respectful of him as his honorary boss.

"What's the matter?" the senior engineer asked curiously.

"A few days ago, a representative of the 'Eternal Life Foundation' approached me and made a request: that I succeed Xie Egui in the foundation and become the new 'Eternal Life Candidate'."

Uh, Director Du, your luck as a pig's feet is really strong.

According to Gao Gong's understanding and combined with internal information from Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division, it can now be confirmed that the Yong Sheng Consortium is most likely a subsidiary consortium of the giant corporation Civilization.

The giant corporation civilization is also quite unique. Compared to ordinary civilizations that rely on technological locks, species modification, and military suppression to expand their civilization, this civilization has only one way to expand: to start companies, to start companies all over the universe.

As for the "Eternal Life Candidate" senior engineer, he also knew that the prerequisite for "Longevity Seed" was that the attribute bonus was equivalent to a boss panel.

Such "immortal beings" are most likely to appear in ancient and giant civilizations, so it is not surprising that all those who possess the legacy of "immortal candidates" have inherited it.

The senior engineer pondered for a moment and said, "Letting you sit in Xie Egui's position means that it doesn't intend to hold us accountable for killing Xie Egui before. This style of operation is quite in line with my impression of such a super-corporation. So what is the price?"

"It wants to acquire a stake in the Dugo Group."

This plot is so familiar. In the previous life, they seemed to have invested in the Holy Brain Group. Now that the target has changed, the formula remains the same.

"The conditions are a bit high. Are they asking for controlling stake?"

Du Zhaodi shook her head. "Although we don't have a controlling stake, it's still a very large sum of money."

"You don't want to agree, but you're hesitating. Why?"

Du Zhaodi nodded silently.

"They proposed that if we agree to this condition, all the corporate assets of the Immortal Conglomerate on this planet can be provided to us for free. I calculated that if we control these assets, we will soon be able to break through the standard of a Level 2 civilization and reach the level of a Level 3 civilization."

The senior engineer thought for a moment and then gave a strange smile.

"Then let's sign it. Let's sign a verbal agreement and a temporary asset transfer agreement first. Three months later, have their representative come to sign the formal documents."

Three months later, the cyber tide broke out, and the first wave of the cyber tide was called "memory loss".

When the time comes, the contents of the signed contract will not be up to you to decide.

Meanwhile, under the glow of the Golden Rule, a special 'surgery' is underway.

Elisa lay in a golden coffin, and opposite her was another golden coffin containing Gao Yuanyuan.

Gaokesi stood in the middle with a solemn expression. Large amounts of black blood flowed from his two wrists, turning into two swimming blood lines that burrowed into the two coffins respectively.

Above the sky, the shadow of a 'golden cross' was faintly visible.

As "Hydramor, the mutant entity No. 9", Gaokesi's abilities are very special.

Mutation can be understood as a change in the form of life, a mutation in the microscopic realm, or even a mutation in artificial intelligence, transforming from a normal operating program into an electronic virus.

Throughout the evolutionary history of intelligent species, this kind of "mutation" has essentially never stopped, from the primordial ocean to the Great Oxidation Event, eukaryotes, invertebrates, the Explosion, amphibians...

In the era of technological evolution, this change will only be faster, not measured in hundreds of millions or tens of thousands of years, but in stages of hundreds of years. This includes primitive humans, modified humans, virtual life, artificial intelligence, and androids. Such "mutations" are called "artificial mutations".

And 'Hydramo' holds the authority in this regard.

"Hydra" is not a person's name. On the planet Machine Rift, it is the name of a god: the god of fire, the god of evil, the fallen angel, the challenger, and the messenger of life. In different cultural contexts, it has been given different meanings.

However, among these legends, there is one that is generally accepted: after the birth of the first life form, Luca, he challenged Luca and tore off one of her ribs, which fell to earth and gave birth to the first humans.

Gaokesi said she really liked the name.

The golden cross in the sky shone even brighter. Under the illumination of the Golden Law, the surface of her 'super virus' began to tear, and within a few breaths, it had turned the punk girl's entire body red. However, the smile on her lips became even more insane.

Because of Hydramor's abilities, it successfully "grabbed" a corner of the Golden Law and began to mutate it.

How interesting it would be if the planet's underlying network were contaminated by a virus and turned into a vessel for monsters!

Under the control of blood flow, the metastasis began.

A large number of spiders crawled out of Elisa's coffin and burrowed into Gao Yuanyuan's coffin.

Within the entire virtual layer, all the "hyperlink protocols" began to undergo letter changes. Elisa's letter 'a' was changed to Gao Yuanyuan's initial letter 'g', as if endless threads were wrapped around the two of them.

Only Gao Yuanyuan, a third-tier information life form, and a girl who follows the "brainstorming route," is capable of handling information transmission at the "search engine" level. She is unique in this regard.

No wonder Elisa was so pleasantly surprised to see Gao Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan also felt that she was not just passing through doors, but that she herself had become an endless gate.

The boss template, from "Hyperlink Girl," has all three states activated to absorb such a massive amount of data.

Template: Hyperlink Girl

Effect 1: Wireless connection allows you to access any program module, including but not limited to web pages, email, corporate networks, and even the human brain.

Effect 2: Infinite Connections. Within the limits of your 'consciousness', the number of connections you can make is infinite.

Effect 3: Life Connection. You can connect with any life form, including information life, carbon-based life, energy life, and mechanical life.

Her level was also increasing rapidly: 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73...

It changes almost every second.

A new boss template is slowly taking shape.

This template is called "Cyber Engine".
