The Descent of a Deity

After teasing Zhao Xie for a bit, the senior engineer leisurely returned to his underground office.

Soon, Professor Han brought good news.

That means the final debugging of the 'Spider Module' is complete.

The senior engineer perked up and examined the finished product. Overall, it resembled a large spider exoskeleton, with six enormous metal limbs made of superalloy that could fold twice. The first fold was a leg katana, the second fold was an arm module, and when fully unfolded, it was a modified 'Magnetic Storm Impact Gun'.

Some of the "electronic spider eyes" on the spider's exoskeleton were removed and replaced with concealed monomolecular claws and firearms—these devices could be modified two, three, or even n times according to the user's habits.

Inside the 'Spider Module' hangs a series of 'venom sacs' and 'spider sacs'. During the second-stage transformation, these 'bio-sacs' will rapidly expand to support the body's size.

After undergoing 'teeth modification,' 'limb modification,' and 'hand modification,' the spider silk it spits out becomes impossible to defend against.

The source of these 'toxic substances' is the 'armored giant buttocks' of the 'spider module'.

Besides being a digestive processor, this "big butt" is also a "radiation energy storage device." During the third stage of transformation, it allows "biological radiation energy" to spread throughout the body, achieving a temporary power surge.

Of course, considering that the first form is "humanoid", the "spider processor" is detachable, with the connection point on the tailbone.

In short, this "Spider Hunter Module" retains the "Bio-Engine" of the Turbo Spider, the "EMP" of the Electro-Node Spider, and the "Radiation Organs" of the Skinner Spider.

The three abilities maintain a balance: the 'Bio-Energy Engine' controls the 'Mutant Radiation' to prevent the mutant power from going out of control and turning Daisy into a skinned monster; at the same time, the 'EMP' limits the 'Bio-Energy Engine' and can shut down all spider organs at any time. This limitation is to prevent 'Phantom Limb Syndrome'.

Because after the modification, Daisy no longer has "three hands," but "eight hands," not counting the limbs that can be added or removed temporarily.

There are also some personalized "mechanical hunting modifications," which the senior engineer plans to leave for Daisy to choose from.

For example, one could replace the bio-armor with a larger one and install a "turbo fan" to achieve short-range "flying hunts"; or one could install a higher-level computing chip, add a hacking module, and transform into an "electronic intrusion spider".

These form modifications tailored to their playstyle are what make the Mech Hunter so powerful.

"A high-quality biomimetic masterpiece!"

Even Professor Han, who is as calm as he is, couldn't help but sigh.

"What beautiful armor!"

The young woman, who rarely came here, had stars in her eyes. Her dark gold bio-armor, about two meters long, was very alluring. It was covered with all sorts of strange patterns and the "battle suit" that incorporated three spider modules had a unique "mother-eater aura" that was very intimidating to others.

"Give me one too!" the young woman said, tugging at the engineer's clothes and pleading.

"You're too short; you don't have the body type of a loli mechanical beast," the senior engineer coldly refused.

"Does it have any side effects?" Aunt Xiang couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm, it's hard to say. Although I've tried my best to adjust L, the interference of spider habits on the nervous system is unavoidable."

"For example, using spider silk to bind small prey to satisfy a particular fetish, or eating a mate for fun."

The senior engineer remained calm. "But those are minor matters. Cao even has a habit of killing people in his dreams. It's just a personal interest, and you should respect other people's hobbies."

The young woman's expression gradually changed from pleasure to horror. She seemed to imagine her petite body being bound in eighteen different ways by spider silk, and she subconsciously swallowed.

As the saying goes, "Loli fears rumors," and before the mature woman's humble demeanor comes along, she is more afraid of this.

"Um, I'm going back to the battlefield. I'm going to defend the tribe. I'm very brave!"

"It can't really be that exaggerated, can it?" Aunt Xiang said with a strange expression.

"Who knows? Nobody's ever done this before," the senior engineer shrugged, looking completely irresponsible.

"I think it's fine. The 'Spider Hunter Module' has three forms: the first form is human-spider, the second form is mad spider, and the third form is radiant spider. As long as you maintain the first form most of the time, human physiological habits will suppress spider habits. This has been proven by experiments."

Professor Han thought for a moment and then made a vivid analogy.

"It's like quitting smoking; you just have to hold on for the first few times."

"I never smoke," Daisy said confidently. "Come on, I can't wait!"

The senior engineer and Professor Han exchanged a glance.

"Then let's evacuate the unrelated personnel. We need to get to work."

"Don't worry, I'm a seasoned doctor now, and my surgical skills are much better than that half-baked little finger."

The senior engineer wasn't lying. Since becoming a "senior prosthetic doctor," his "human body modification surgery" has been upgraded to "level two human body modification surgery."

Level 2 human body modification surgery (professional): Using specialized instruments and expertise to achieve profound modifications to the human body.

For a level one surgery, he can only get a prosthetic body or an organ replacement, and he's terrified of any idea that he can modify a human body system.

Level 2 is different. What is deep modification? Simply put, it's abnormal, no, it's a transformation-level modification.

The extraordinary surgery will have to wait until the next job transfer; the senior engineer plans to save his first time for himself.

The surgery was very intensive and lasted for a full twenty-four hours.

This is all thanks to the beast tide. Putting aside everything else, the mutated three spiders are all hunter-level C+ grade beasts. Even if the senior engineer personally took action, he might not be able to catch them.

Not to mention, there are also so many high-quality mechanical and biological parts.

So, does this mean Zhao Xie isn't actually a simp, but a warm-hearted guy?

The biggest difference between a "simp" and a "nice guy" is that a simp only simps one person, while a nice guy doesn't discriminate between men and women.

It made them quite interested.

Working 24/7 without rest and at high intensity, even a "mentally disturbed" senior engineer couldn't help but feel dizzy and lightheaded after completing the final modifications.

The sterile room was filled with an exciting, bloody smell. Spider blood contains an excitatory factor, which explains why it eats its mates for no reason.

The senior engineer exhaled, and countless streaks of blood disappeared from his arm.

The 'nerve bundle' is used to confirm whether the other person's nervous system is functioning normally.

So far, it is operating well.

However, it will take another twelve hours for him to truly wake up.

The senior engineer returned to his office, feeling dizzy and lightheaded. Just as he was about to take a short nap, a large orange cat on his desk let out a pitiful meow.

"Huh, it's you?" the senior engineer said, startled.

It wasn't that he had forgotten about the sales employee who had been transformed into a cat, but how did this guy get so fat?

If the old orange cat was still slender and elegant, the kind that could steal a husband from a stinky woman, then now it's a "Totoro" that's twice as fat.

Meow~~~

The giant orange pig suddenly lunged forward and crashed headfirst into the senior engineer's arms.

The senior engineer felt a tightness in his chest and quickly activated his brain's "information transmission" function, switching from cat language to human language.

"Boss, help me!!!"

"What's going on? Did you fail to meet your KPIs?"

Big Orange nodded pitifully. Because she didn't meet the standards, she was injected with fat-boosting additives. Also because she didn't meet the standards, her language converter was removed.

Simply put, it means letting her fend for herself.

"So how did you find this place? Oh, you've taken advantage of this young woman."

The senior engineer understood that in the car city, only young women could understand "cat language" and watch "cat videos".

Then, naturally, they sent her over.

The senior engineer stroked his chin and stared at her, then suddenly chuckled, "The weapon has too many flaws, it's been discovered, hasn't it?"

Daju nodded pitifully. According to her, the KPI for this quarter could actually be glossed over, since "Mas Edge" is a well-known brand in the desert.

However, the sudden outbreak of the beast tide was unexpected, and a large number of weapons were put to the test in actual combat. It was only after this test that everyone discovered that behind the impressive performance parameters were a bunch of strange problems.

The return rate is approaching 100%.

Then it was taken out and made a scapegoat.

The senior engineer stroked the cat's back and had to admit that although it had gotten fatter, it felt even better to the touch.

"By the way, did the biological data I sent you last time pass the inspection?"

"Meow~ Looks like I've cleared the level, meow."

"This actually passed inspection?" The senior engineer clicked his tongue in amazement. This was truly outrageous; the biological data provided by the dog actually passed the inspection.

Has "Mas's Edge" already started to act like a complete idiot?

"Boss, give me an order, boss~" Big Orange hugged him tightly with its two fat paws and stared at him with wide eyes.

She hadn't believed this country bumpkin before, but now that she had no other choice, she was just trying anything.

The senior engineer rubbed the other person's chubby face, thought for a moment, and said, "Do you have a weapons list?"

Yes, yes!

Daju quickly jumped down and then picked up a dirty leather bag with her mouth. This designer bag was now her only possession.

It took Fat Cat half a day to open the wallet and pull out the weapons list.

He was even holding a pen in his mouth with a very attentive expression.

The senior engineer took the pen, nodding as he marked up the list.

"I don't want this."

"I don't want this."

"I don't want this one either."

Big Orange grew increasingly desperate.

"Besides these three, give me a thousand of each of the rest."

Da Ju's eyes suddenly lit up as she stared at the senior engineer in disbelief.

In her eyes, the senior engineer exuded a golden aura, which was the kind of nouveau riche style that sales employees like her liked the most.

"What, do you think I can't afford it?" The senior engineer's face darkened.

"No, no, no," Da Ju trembled and hesitated, "Boss, I can give you a discount."

The senior engineer slowly stood up and looked at the other person with a serious expression.

"Discount? You're kidding! I, Gao, never buy discounted items!"

Against the backdrop of the bombing overhead, the senior engineer's figure appeared even more imposing, as if the "god of suckers" had descended to earth.

Da Ju trembled all over, his face devout, and he prostrated himself on the ground.
