Facing Lady Red Dreamâs gaze, Gao Gong calmly sipped his tea.
"Madam, what are you talking about? I canât understand a word youâre saying."
"Your complexion is pale, your eyes are filled with weariness. Donât tell me you didnât do anything last night?" Lady Red Dream waved her small fan, smiling as if she saw through him.
"Haha, canât hide anything from you, Madam," Gao Gong chuckled dryly, pointing at the virtual experience machine on the table, "The latest version of the Diao brand experience machine has arrived. It supports online mode, gender transformation, battle royale, and more. I tried the thousand-player battle royale last night and pulled an all-nighter. Now Iâm a wreck. Madam, do you have any secret health recipes? I am willing to pay handsomely for them."
Miss Sakura, standing beside, couldnât take it anymore and said coldly:
"The Lady is not your enemy. You can be more honest with us."
Lady Red Dream put away her small fan and smiled: "Everyone is entitled to their own secrets. In fact, had it not been for a certain tough yet soft-hearted female assassinâs request, I wouldnât have come to notify you specifically."
"Female assassin?" Gao Gongâs expression changed, squinting his eyes: "What did Sister Rose ask you to convey?"
"She wanted me to tell you that todayâs deadly enemy might not be tomorrowâs friend. If anyone from the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division comes to you, donât be too harsh."
"Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division, isnât that a core department of the Mother City? Why would they come looking for me?"
Gao Gong immediately thought of that mature version of Xiao Yu; my identity hasnât been exposed, has it?
"Did you see the big news some time ago? The assassination of Minister Aramaki, who is said to be the âEnemy of the Giant Corporationâ."
"The head of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division? Iâve heard of it."
In the mid-levels of the Planet Plot, players could receive various infiltration tasks from this old man, with targets being large corporations. Hence, players called him the âStation Master.â
Under his direction, various âDeep Seaâ personnel lurked everywhere, occasionally meeting informants, delivering notes, or transmitting intelligence.
"Recently, thereâs a rumor in the underworld that the one who assassinated this Minister Aramaki is a woman who loves causing trouble for others."
The elderly rich lady glanced deeply at Gao Gong and left.
What does this mean, did Sister Rose assassinate Aramaki?
Someone investigated me because they found out about my special relationship with Sister Rose.
Sister Rose also sent a message through someone, telling me not to kill anyone if people from the âGhost in the Shell Mobile Divisionâ come to investigate.
This doesnât quite match her usual style of exterminating entire clans.
Unless Aramaki and Sister Rose staged a âfake deathâ to escape, and Sister Rose got the token of allegiance, as for Aramakiâ
Based on intelligence from his past life, this old man was a loyalist of Mother City, and what he obtained, or wanted to obtain, was probably insider information on the âSix Major Bionic Groups.â
Indeed, Mother City couldnât be entirely clueless about all the strange things that happened during World War II. At the very least, this super artificial intelligence Aramaki is very interested in these materials.
...
"Alright, for Sister Roseâs sake, if the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division comes to bother me, at most Iâll tie them up, wonât kill and silence them."
Gao Gong shook his head, put aside this small matter, and opened the NPC panel directly.
The difficulty of the Hell Task is Hell-level, but once completed, looking at the rewards, happiness instantly shoots to heaven.
Not to mention, just the massacre in Cloud City, the experience gained is astronomical.
million experience points, 23 specialization points, 155 skill points, 10 random blueprints, 70 genetic fragments, 30 bloodline fragments, 3 alien gene chains.
Plus the accumulated past rewards, this missionâs basic rewards, Gao Gongâs experience points skyrocketed to 8.21 million, with specialization points rising to 29 and skill points rising to 165, with 19 lottery opportunities.
Itâs safe to say that just for leveling up, Gao Gong doesnât need to worry about experience before reaching level 50.
As for specialization points and skill points, at the very least he can earn three Masterâs Certificates.
Resisting the urge to level up.
Gao Gong first drew out the two randomly gifted hacker skills.
One of these skills is from Ahong, and the other from Paradise Bird.
[You have obtained the expert-level skill âVirtual Invasion (Modified)â]
[You have obtained the master-level skill âFlame Codeâ]
Wow! Such good luck, even managed to draw a master-level skill.
Virtual Invasion (Modified) (Expert Level): A meticulously improved invasion protocol by a young hacker, with infiltration speed +40%, cooling time for quick cracking of humanoid AIs -30%, and randomly acquires parts of the enemyâs code.
Note: This is a genius-level hacker operation. Even more impressive, this genius is down-to-earth, applying his talent at the foundational level. It is also rumored that this young hacker conducted this operation just to make idol-chasing more convenient.
Gao Gong can be sure, this is no rumor.
So itâs you who stole that string of underwear code!
Definitely confirmed pervert!
Flame Code (Master): A super code crafted personally by a top hacker master, enhancing the power of foundational code through repeated overlapping of âneural signals.â All algorithms, programs, and software programmed via this code receive damage +80%, data mining +50%, recovery speed +40%.
Additional State: Spy Countermeasure, Dark Nemesis, Vulnerability Expert, Memory Optimization
Spy Countermeasure: Expose an enemy network hacker attempting to invade you
Dark Nemesis: Attack Power against viruses +40%
Vulnerability Expert: You can detect weak points in enemy network defense facilities more quickly
Memory Optimization: Special code architecture, releasing 20% of brain memory
Note 1: Due to the unique code structure, to outsiders, all your hacking techniques appear like blazing flames.
Note 2: From a young age, Paradise Bird was tormented by hatred, and she tried to merge this emotion into her hacking techniques, achieving miraculous effects.
Although the master-level skills obtained through the lottery do not have a âMasterâs Certificateâ, the effects are the same.
âSource Code Killerâ and âFlame Codeâ
Both are master-level skills, all belonging to the virtual side.
Indeed, all roads lead to Rome, but I reside in Rome.
Gao Gong sighed deeply with emotion.
Putting other benefits aside, Gao Gong extracted the boss template fragment he was most interested in.
Leader Template - Genetic Leader (Incomplete)
Genetic Leader: The Cloud Nobility spent a fortune on âgenetic engineeringâ to implant higher alien bloodlines, and ultimately created the Genetic Leader.
Effect 1: Can autonomously allocate genetic fragments, synthesize gene chains, and increase the success rate of creating synthetic organisms and genetic fusions by 50%.
Huh, itâs actually a production template!
The leader template, also known as the boss template, is divided into two types. One is the âbattlefield templateâ, such as Gao Gongâs âRadiation Field Masteryâ and âLegendary Hunterâ, which can greatly increase oneâs attack power and provide significant boosts to allied factions.
The second type is the production template, also known as the research template. These templates are rarer and even more important.
The former is akin to Captain America, while the latter is akin to the doctor who developed the Super Soldier Potion.
The weight of each is self-evident.
Although the âGenetic Leaderâ only has one effect, Gao Gong knows his biologist task finally has a clear direction.
He can now debug things at the genetic level.
...
In Gao Gongâs brain disc, a shrill scream echoed.
"Help me, save me, Aidolu, save me!!!"
Aidolu rolled her eyes, holding a nicotine-flavored lollipop in her mouth, one leg crossed, with mosaic-level underwear showing, exuding a delinquent girlâs demeanor.
"Idiot, fool, brain-dead, who told you to show off? Donât you know that showing off brings momentary pleasure but leads to a family crematorium!"
Aidolu stood up and scolded angrily, nearly poking the lollipop into Ahongâs nostril.
At this moment, Ahong was floating in mid-air, the terrifying Flame Code Storm burning him madly, with fiery spikes continuously cutting his âGolden Bodyâ, trying to liberate Ahong from the âCryptopunkâ state.
This treatment method worked, with gold powder constantly being scraped off.
But for Ahong, this pain was equivalent to having a âlingchi executionâ and âburning aliveâ amalgamated data packet crammed into his brain and then opened inside.
Whatâs more terrifying is that he couldnât even block the pain signals, simply because his pain system had also entered a confidential state.
When Gao Gong appeared, Ahong seemed to see a savior.
"Big brother, save me!!!"
Gao Gong completely ignored him and instead focused his gaze on the brain disc environment.
The alien marvel had completely disappeared, replaced by a perfectly square white room, with walls, ceiling, and floor all in white, revealing no seam.
This white room was particularly large, about the size of a football field, with its length, width, and height almost equal.
This was the true form of the brain disc.
The reason it had become like this was that the environmental simulation code had been consumed. Who consumed it? Naturally, it was the peculiar thing in the center.
It was like the eye of a storm, with each vortex being a hyperlink.
Upon closer inspection, one could see pages, videos, simulated illusions, mirrors, scripts, phantoms, and personality codes switching madly.
As an ordinary girl, Gao Yuanyuanâs recent days had been quite eventful.
In the blink of an eye, a cheap brother fell from the sky.
In another blink, she suddenly became a level-50 electronic lifeform.
In yet another blink, she became a level-60 virtual lifeform, still with two boss templates attached.
For Gao Gong, turning into the âTransmission Maidenâ was nothing; even at level 160, he could still carry the entire field.
But for Gao Yuanyuan, she hadnât even fully mastered the level-50 skills, and suddenly there was a big version update, which she couldnât handle at all, directly breaking down into her original form, a collection of hyperlinks and virtual protocols.
In such a situation, her virtual personality would typically shatter instantly, with the best outcome being a personality change, such as changing from a socially anxious person to a social menace, a recluse turning into a social butterfly.
This was as simple as eating and drinking for an information life.
On one hand, information lifeforms are extremely hard to kill.
On the other hand, they can also be said to be constantly dying.
But âGao Yuanyuanâ would not die in this manner.
Itâs not that she was uniquely talented.
But because she had a grandpa at her side, no, a little brother.
