Slaughtering Warrior

Not long after the senior engineer went inside, dozens of troop carriers rushed over, and about a thousand armed soldiers jumped out from them.

This is the maximum force that the security force can currently deploy.

In addition, there were eight Titan IV giant armored vehicles, their dark cannons pointed directly at the mechanical bio-beasts not far away.

However, no shots were fired.

The reason is simple: the same cannons are also aimed at them.

Standing two stories tall, covered in thick armor, with mechanical trunks that function like cannon barrels, these six large gun-wielding beasts are a subspecies of the boiler elephant, called the air-cannon elephant.

Their shells come in two types: air-pressurized shells and water-pressurized shells.

The power of air cannonballs is no less than that of ordinary cannonballs at short distances, and the second stomach of the air cannon elephant contains a large amount of corrosive liquid, so the water cannon it fires has strong metal corrosiveness, making it even more dangerous.

Dozens of jet-powered leopards bared their teeth, their jet engines whirring on their knees, seemingly poised to pounce and attack at any moment.

Dozens of flashing birds were hovering in the sky. These birds had four or five light-emitting organs on their bodies, which could burst out with strong light at the same time, with a brightness no less than that of a flashbang.

Many mechanical hunters arrived after hearing the news, carrying guns but showing little interest in fighting.

They could tell that these mechanical bio-beasts were being controlled by humans; they didn't seem like friendly forces, but they didn't seem like enemies either.

"A D-class electric elk, a D-class flashing sparrow, a C-class jet-powered predatory leopard, a C-class one-horned rhinoceros, and a C+-class air cannon elephant—goodness, these are all troublesome species."

Beasts of the same level are also divided into two types: easy to deal with and difficult to deal with. The difficult ones are jokingly referred to as "troublesome species".

These types of mechanical beasts are undoubtedly "troublesome species," commonly known as elite monsters.

"Electric Deer and Flash Sparrow are rare hybrid mechanical and energy creatures, Jet-Powered Predator Leopard is a hunter among mechanical beasts of the same level, and Unicorn Rhinoceros and Air Cannon Elephant are armored beasts, comparable to heavy armored weapons."

"400 against 1000, if a fight really breaks out, the security forces absolutely cannot win!"

The Wriggle also appeared on the perimeter. He could see clearly that these mechanical beasts showed obvious signs of training, were spread out to avoid being bombarded simultaneously, and had even seized several high ground positions.

In the highlands, there seemed to be other gun-wielding beasts, or rather, fully automatic weapons.

This is completely different from the chaotic beast tide.

"Infantry-tank cooperation?" A mechanical hunter in camouflage paused for a moment, then suddenly uttered a word.

It was clear that the other side had come with the intention of fighting. Humans can lie, but mechanical beasts cannot. They stared menacingly at the outer soldiers, the bio-guns on their bodies slowly rotating, as if they were ready to give the order at any moment...

The commanders of the security force were also caught in a dilemma. They were always bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. They were good at giving their soldiers adrenaline injections in the rear and were skilled at deception and fraud. It would be difficult to let them command the battle.

Damn it, why haven't General Demon Mountain's elite troops returned yet!

Finally, new information came from the underground command center: remain in place and await the negotiators.

Everyone was happy!

On the other hand, the senior engineer did not rest after collecting enough biological structures.

He had gained over 100,000 experience points on the battlefield, along with some miscellaneous rewards, which he hadn't had time to check yet.

After thinking about it, I decided to draw the reward first.

Generally speaking, only tasks of difficulty or higher offer a chance to win prizes, and these prize draws sometimes yield some rare items.

[Do you want to participate in the lucky draw?]

The senior engineer nodded.

A colorful spinning wheel immediately appeared on the system panel and began to spin rapidly.

[Giveaway complete! You have won the bestselling book, The Galaxy Hitchhiker's Guide]

"Damn, even if someone's hands are black, they shouldn't be this black."

The senior engineer was speechless. Popular science books—this was the most useless type of reward.

More importantly, he had read the book "The Galaxy Hitchhiking Guide" in his previous life. The author of the book was a psionic life form who loved interstellar travel and often traveled to different star systems in a giant interstellar train. The book contained a series of observations and experiences from his travels, similar to a travelogue.

The most interesting part was the variety of aliens encountered during the journey, such as silicon-based life forms resembling liquid robots, handsome stallion-like plants that planted seeds on various planets, spore aliens that could only survive in energy liquids and had to be transported by cargo, primitive life forms that liked to smuggle themselves onto vehicles, sky behemoths resembling "interstellar gas stations," and clones with one ID card for five people.

In short, the diverse array of aliens, along with their bizarre life forms and habits, is a major selling point of this book.

This book, as a popular science book about extraterrestrials, is quite popular among various civilizations.

Somewhat annoyed, I clicked on another reward, which was a free 'biological blueprint'.

You have obtained the Level 5 bio-modification blueprint for the "Umbrella Virus"

"Huh, we actually got this."

This "Umbrella Virus" isn't the kind that turns you into a zombie; instead, it extracts viral cells from advanced life forms, creates drugs, and gains the target's immunity.

Moreover, level 5 blueprints already fall within the scope of level 2 civilization technology, and the biological cells that the 'Umbrella Virus' can extract naturally include level B life forms.

"Isn't this just a coincidence?"

The senior engineer stared at the two corpses, muttering to himself.

Besides the book and blueprint, there are also the specialization points awarded for killing B-level radiation beasts.

As something that increases the skill ceiling, this thing is rare and is only obtained when soloing high-level monsters.

The senior engineer almost without hesitation added it to the name of "Night Warrior".

[You upgraded the Night Knight to level 10]

[The Night Knight has been upgraded to level 10 (max) and entered skill advancement mode. Please select your elite skill: Moon Dancer, Slaughter Warrior, or Three-Sword Style.]

The Moon Dancer remains an assassin, using drugs, illusions, and special tools to kill people without them even knowing how they died, leaving them only with a glimpse of the bright moon before they die.

The Killer Warriors, on the other hand, relentlessly advance down the path of bloodshed and violence, becoming even more powerful and direct than the Night Warriors.

As for the three-sword style, there's no need to go into detail. Have you ever seen the green-haired swordsman? It's all about wielding multiple weapons.

[You selected the elite skill: Killer Warrior]

[You have upgraded the Killer Warrior to level 2]

[You have upgraded the Killer Warrior to level 3]

[You have upgraded the Killer Warrior to level 10 (max)]

The senior engineer maxed out this skill in one go, which cost him 100,000 experience points, roughly double the amount required for an advanced skill.

The upgrade from elite to expert is even more outrageous, requiring 500,000 experience points.

To advance from expert to master, one needs 1 million, or even more.

However, once you reach the Master level, you will automatically receive a "Master Certificate (Level 1)," which means that you have surpassed 99.99% of your peers in a certain skill.

This is a great item that can increase civilization's reputation.

A high-level "Master's Certificate" can even make you a guest of honor in various planetary civilizations. For example, a certain "Force Master" was on the run while also having a great time.

After the Killer Warrior reaches the maximum level, three additional status effects are added.

"Killing intent", "Slaughtering power", "Clear mind and still water"

Among them, "Killing Intent" is also known as "Remote Killing Technique" or "Vital Point Attack Technique". It is an advanced aura manipulation technique that can cause the enemy's brain to automatically fall into a death illusion. However, it is a solo skill and can only deal with one person at a time.

Combined with "Radiation Field Mastery", Mom no longer has to worry about me being tricked.

Killing Power is an upgraded version of "Bloodthirst". In addition to stacking 15 layers of attack power, it can also increase the main attribute.

Killing Power: Dealing damage to an enemy with a weapon increases attack power by 8% (stacks up to 15 times). For each stack, gain a random attribute point.

Given the current state of senior engineers, if all of them were given the same attribute, their value could be doubled.

As for the description of "Clear Mirror Still Water", there are no attribute bonuses, only one sentence.

When the mind is clear and tranquil, and the heart is pure and serene, one responds to what comes and lets go of what has passed.

"A state of metaphysics, perhaps?"

The senior engineer stroked his chin. The higher the skill level, the greater the probability of obtaining a mystical state. Some advanced skills are even mystical skills in themselves.

Mystical states aren't necessarily bad; some mystical states, once developed, can be quite buggy.

However, it can be quite troublesome if not used properly.

Fortunately, "a clear mirror and still water" is not a "decipherable" type of solution.

In fact, most melee skills will have the "Clear Mind and Still Water" skill when upgraded to a higher level.

It also has a more common and easy-to-understand name.

'100% Barehanded Disarming'

"Hey, slash me!" the senior engineer shouted, looking at the pink-haired delinquent girl not far away.

Without saying a word, Keiko Matsushima grabbed a knife and charged.

As the boss, Keiko Matsushima respected the senior engineer quite a bit, after all, he was an all-rounder.

After being adjusted by the other party, my knife grip is also significantly better to use.

But in other ways, Keiko Matsushima still harbored resentment towards him.

Didn't you say you'd give me an E? Why did you give me a D? What? Big breasts affect combat? I don't believe it!

In Matsushima Keiko's eyes, the percentage of the high-ranking engineer's body parts—head, torso, and limbs—suddenly increased significantly, indicating a high success rate in the kill.

Others are the probability that the opponent will move in various directions to dodge.

This is the kind of close-combat style that embodies the spirit of high technology. Keiko Matsushima has always looked down on techniques that require grueling practice day after day.

The smart katana disappeared as the pink-haired little bean sprout ran away.

Hidden draw sword technique?

The senior engineer chuckled and simply closed his eyes.

The next moment, Keiko Matsushima appeared to the right of the senior engineer, her short legs almost splitting due to the increased force.

The veins on his calves were bulging.

She had changed her hand position from holding the knife in her right hand to holding it in her left hand at some point.

Intelligent weapons automatically guide the force exertion, making no difference whether you use your dominant hand or not.

The blade flashed, hidden by his body, and appeared at the engineer's neck in an instant.

This Japanese delinquent is really ruthless; her sword-drawing slash created a sonic boom.

If a senior engineer does nothing, he's guaranteed to be hacked to death on the spot.

However, in the senior engineer's heart, it was as if a drop of water had fallen into a lake.

A clear mirror and still water reflect everything, responding to whatever comes... just as the sky covers everything and the earth carries everything.

At some point, the senior engineer's fingers appeared on the blade. With a gentle press, like the sound of a steel rolling mill, the sonic boom slash was caught between his two fingers.

There was a faint white mark on the blade between the two fingers.
