In the game "Cyberworld", the maximum level for a secondary profession is 20, while the maximum level for profession knowledge is 10.

Level 5 represents quantitative change, while level 10 represents qualitative change.

Each time you reach the maximum level of your professional knowledge points, a new "knowledge trait" will be unlocked.

This "knowledge characteristic" applies not only to this occupational system, but can also be used in other occupations.

It's equivalent to a support skill.

Among them, the [Industrial Materials Science] category highlights "turning waste into treasure," while the [Mechanical Modification] category highlights "strengthening and upgrading."

This is the preliminary preparation that the senior engineer made for the "Mechanical Hunter Exclusive Module".

The basic class "Mechanical Hunter" is actually quite powerful, since not every class can wield a chainsaw and fight mechanical beasts to the death.

However, its upper limit is actually not high, at most no more than level 20, and there is no fixed standard for 'Mechanical Hunting Modification', so the margin for error is very low. If you fail once, you will not be able to reach the maximum level.

Most mechanical hunters cannot reach this level.

In this line of work, skilled mechanical hunters are always aided by support classes.

For example, Huang Wen was a mechanical engineer, Miyamoto Sanzang was an assassin, Daisy La had her family's martial arts skills, and Grey-Eyed Adrian was a Turing Church follower.

They all used support roles to broaden the path for mechanical hunters.

However, such improvement is destined to be personalized and not universal.

After all, not every mechanical hunter is a mechanic, an assassin, or a fanatic.

What the senior engineer did was not to build a small road, but to build a large bridge.

Combining "turning waste into treasure" and "enhancing and modifying" will produce a very powerful effect.

It's called "mechanical module imitation".

After completing the job change, the senior engineer bid farewell to Xu Tong, the logistics staff member, and once again entered the state of "modifying parts".

With the help of these two "features", the senior engineer was bursting with inspiration and came up with all sorts of ingenious designs, quickly completing the two "modified parts".

3D Maneuver Gear

Tear Handheld

The 3D Maneuver Gear resembles four scabbards hanging on the waist, with ejection ports at both ends. The telescopic device uses a high-hydraulic ejector, which has twice the launch efficiency of a rocket launcher. The hook uses an advanced mechanical claw with stronger gripping force, and has two modes: a drill and a hammer. The tension device has changed from a single molecular line to fifty single molecular ropes combined into one, completely abandoning the concealment effect and replacing it with a more powerful tension.

Most importantly, this '3D Maneuver Gear' has a reinforced bodysuit that conforms to human mechanics, made of bulletproof underwear and the tough ribs of some Class C radioactive beast.

This effectively prevents a part of the body from tearing due to enormous tensile force.

This also upgraded its effective range from 100 meters in the first generation to 1,000 meters, with a maximum range of 3,000 meters.

Name: 3D Maneuver Gear

Category: Equipment Exclusive to Mechanical Hunters

Quality: Excellent+

Weight: 20kg

Operation mode: Manual operation

Auxiliary Module: Sky Hunt Mode

Note: This is a mechanical tentacle with a wider range and higher operational requirements.

Possessing "elite" level grappling hook skills, the senior engineer fully adapted to it in just ten minutes.

At this moment, in the makeshift operating room, the senior engineer was suspended in mid-air, constantly "teleporting". Huge explosions, similar to missile launches, rang out continuously. With each loud bang, a rope shadow flashed in the air, and the senior engineer was moved to a different position out of thin air.

Many fist-sized holes appeared out of nowhere in the walls on both sides.

Suddenly, the senior engineer appeared in front of a wall. With a gentle push of his palm, the wall covered by his palm was struck as if by the force of "ten years of internal strength," leaving a three-centimeter-thick palm print.

Name: Tear-Off Microcomputer *2

Category: Mechanical Gloves

Quality: Excellent+

Weight: 3.7kg

Basic Attributes: DPS: 325, Attack Power: 65, Attack Speed: 5 attacks/second, Attack Range: 0.5 meters

Additional Mode: Tear Mode

Addon slot: Rending Tiger (+32% Tear Damage)

Note: A chainsaw glove designed specifically for tearing and defense.

Compared to the previous version, this version is more dexterous, like a fingerless glove with holes all over the back of the hand.

When the palm is turned over, the palm is covered with countless tiny blade gears.

The gears are made of a "super alloy" that the girl with the ponytail could only buy by using her privileges.

With this equipment and the "Bloodthirsty Hook," even if the opponent has several layers of armor, the senior engineer believes he can deliver a "Black Tiger Heart Strike."

[Modification parts *2, Mission 2 completed]

Compared to the "Intermediate Worker of Factory No. 3", the "Senior Prosthetic Doctor" has a significantly more difficult job transition.

Fortunately, thanks to his accumulated professional knowledge, the senior engineer successfully completed both tasks.

The last task left is "to conduct a prosthetic experiment," and the senior engineer had already asked Professor Han to design a bionic solution.

The experimental material was that 'daughter body'.

Just as the senior engineer was preparing to complete the final task, the electronic prosthetic eye and the VR effects machine lit up simultaneously.

I've been hacked again.

The scene before them suddenly changed; the room grew larger and transformed into a command center, with electronic data appearing as human figures on either side of the senior engineer.

"Lone Wolf, fight me!"

As soon as "Black God" saw Senior Engineer, he roared at him.

The senior engineer looked him up and down and found that the man's eyes were bloodshot and yellow, and his face, neck and hands were covered with metal spots. In particular, the skin connected to the "component" was completely rotten.

Many of the mechanical components on its body seemed to have come to life, turning spontaneously.

These are standard symptoms of "cyberpsychosis": a disorder of the nervous system, mechanical components turning into phantom limbs, and if it goes any further, the mechanical body will completely lose control.

Heavy metal poisoning + cyberpsychosis

This guy is hopeless.

The senior engineer spotted a familiar face and chuckled, "Old man Miyamoto, you're not dead?"

Miyamoto Sanzang glanced at the senior engineer and snorted coldly:

"You have fallen, lone wolf. Wild beasts only walk alone, while cattle and sheep travel in herds."

The senior engineer was somewhat baffled.

Ultimately, more than thirty people were online in this virtual command center. The lowest-ranking officer was a major, and there were only five mechanical hunters. After removing Miyamoto and the chimpanzee, there were only two left.

The last surviving veteran hunter, the Creeper.

There was also a strange man wearing a pure white mecha suit, with not a single gap between his body and his skin.

"A genuine mecha, not an exoskeleton. Is that the leader of the symbiotic squad?"

The biggest difference between mechs and exoskeletons is that mechs can fly, while exoskeletons cannot.

Looking at the energy jets on the other person's thighs, waist, and back, the senior engineer was certain that the other person's backing must be incredibly wealthy.

Because combat mechs equipped with flight systems are standard level-two civilization equipment.

Not to mention this rural desert, even the Mechanical City doesn't sell them. If you want to buy them, you have to go to the Mother City.

The senior engineer was sizing up the two of them, while the wriggling man and the man in the white mecha were also silently sizing him up.

There's no other reason than that, currently, only these three can compete for the top spot on the hunting leaderboard.

Of the three, the senior engineer's style is the most peculiar.

He started as a lone wolf, but then transformed into an assassin.

Just when everyone thought this guy was a younger version of "Miyamoto Sanzang", he transformed into a berserker.

Just when they thought that Gao Gong, as a top-tier warrior, would definitely appear on the front lines of the battlefield, Gao Gong retreated again, changed his identity, and became the leader of a new force, hiding behind the scenes and reorganizing his team to farm points.

This guy's poses are too provocative, with too many positions; we have to be careful.

The last one to "go online" was Brigadier General Mountain. He was now wearing a heavy exoskeleton with at least a dozen automatic weapons on his body. Standing at three meters tall, he was twice as tall as everyone else. With his yellow and black outer armor, he looked like an armored tiger that had come to life, as ferocious as could be.

"This guy should be around level 30 by now, a Reconstructed Mech Warrior from the Legion faction, a pure brute force class, and an elite template at that. His counterpart should be a Grand Knight of the Knights Order."

Reconstructed Mech Warrior is the third job advancement version of Mech Warrior. As a Legion class, Mech Warrior is incredibly powerful; at the same level, even Mechanical Hunter is no match for it.

The only drawback is that it heavily relies on Legion technology, and the modification of the mechs is highly exclusive. In other words, choosing this class is basically equivalent to being "faction-bound".

The Demon Mountain Tiger's eyes swept around, finally landing on the senior engineer. His expression softened, and he said, "The 56th defense zone did a good job. It seems that biological modification does indeed have great potential."

The senior engineer touched his nose, about to say something, when a lieutenant colonel immediately straightened his chest and reported.

"Reporting to the general, the first batch of biological soldiers has entered the mass production stage and is expected to be deployed to the front lines for combat testing tomorrow."

Mo Shan paused for a moment, glanced at the senior engineer, and then at the lieutenant colonel.

"What's that old man Geville up to? Isn't this your responsibility?"

"Reporting to the General, thank you Mr. Gao for providing the bio-modification data. We have two bio-factories that produce modified soldiers simultaneously."

Demon Mountain was strong but not stupid. He grunted a few times and changed the subject.

"The main purpose of this visit is to make preparations for the second phase of the war."

As soon as the Demon Mountain finished speaking, a grid diagram appeared before everyone's eyes.

Each square represents a defense zone, and they are clearly marked with color.

Red indicates a danger zone, meaning the defense line could be overwhelmed by radioactive beasts at any time.

The yellow area represents the intense fighting, indicating that the two sides are still locked in combat. Most of the 'grid diagram' is covered in yellow, suggesting that everyone likes this color.

There is also a green zone, consisting of only two or three patches, indicating that the animal tide has been effectively contained in this area.

Among them, the defense zone where the senior engineer was located was a bright green, like he was wearing a hat that symbolized forgiveness.

The senior engineer flicked the "green hat" icon, and the next moment, a series of data appeared.

The data changed so quickly, just like in the live broadcast room of a top female anchor. The senior engineer only had time to glance at the number in the lower left corner: 5.51 million.

If I remember correctly, my previous points were 3 million.

My daily output is 500,000.

These guys spent 1.5 million in half a day.

If you calculate it this way, it's three times my own amount.

No wonder this bald brigadier general thinks highly of him; here's why.

"The combat team did a good job."

Fifty people may seem like a lot, but in other places, there are often two or three hundred soldiers guarding a single defense zone.

It's still not as green as it seems.
