Start with Mechanical Hunter

Gao Gong opened his eyes in confusion, and raised his metal-encrusted palm, but unfortunately he didn't obey his orders.

The hot sunlight falling from the torn roof of the car not only brought heat, but also brought a trace of radiation from nuclear smoke and dust. This caused the damaged electronic prosthetic eye (right eye) to be affected by electromagnetic radiation, and it snapped. With a sound, it completely stopped.

He was shot at least three times all over his body and was stabbed in the chest. His skin was sore and itchy. The car must have been hit, and glass shards mixed with the body fragments of the car in front hit him head-on. This is how his right eye was blown out.

The key is--

This is not my body!

‘Didn’t I just steal the NPC template from the old PUA holy land of the ‘Spiritual Collective’ with great difficulty, and am I on my way to teleport across the galaxy? What is the situation now? The natural disaster invasion has been advanced? ’

Feeling the severe pain from everywhere in his body, Gao Gong couldn't help but grin.

Since uploading his consciousness to the data terminal and transforming it into the main brain AI, he has not experienced such a state of serious injury for a long time.

Pain information is transmitted from all parts of the body to the central nervous system, like a violent storm, and merges into the brain.

Feeling uncomfortable and want to vomit!

I haven't been a human being for many years, why do I still have to endure this kind of pain!

‘Has my identity as a player been discovered by those old bastards from the Civilization Council? It's impossible. I've dealt with everything from beginning to end, and I disguised myself so well. From the beginning to the end of the game, I never died once, and there was no change in information state. How did they find me! ’

‘My body was instantly changed, preventing my rebirth mechanism from activating. "

"This kind of operation - unless you kill the millions of virtual personalities, AI clones, consciousness sub-bodies, soul viruses, and logical information bodies that I have hidden on various planets in an instant, which advanced civilization has used it against me?" Wonder Weapon'?'

‘The wonders of the universe have been completely destroyed by natural disasters long ago. ’

‘Someone predicted that I planned to lead the way for natural disasters and killed me in advance? ’

‘Ximen Qing was stabbed by Wu Erlang before he hooked up with Pan Jinlian? It's unreasonable! ’

His stomach was churning, his throat was as spicy as if he had stuffed a handful of chili peppers, blood was pouring out of his mouth and nose, and the beating sound of his mechanical heart was getting weaker and weaker, all of which made Gao Gong understand one fact.

He's about to die!

As if stimulated by death, the neurons in the brain suddenly contracted, neurotransmitters surged along the axons to the terminal, and the host's memories poured out like a tide.

That was the short life of the owner of this body.

In my memory, the owner of this body is called Gao Gong, a veteran mechanical hunter who has been wandering around this iron sand desert all year round. He makes a living by hunting down radioactive beasts and mechanical biochemical beasts, and earning 'bounties' from factories and companies in the city. , who occasionally works part-time as a killer/escort/robber; because he is cruel and ruthless, he has a good reputation in the hunter circle and is nicknamed "Lone Wolf in the Wilderness".

The reason why he was reduced to this situation was because of an ordinary escort mission.

The goods transported are energy ores, a specialty of the iron sand desert.

According to Gao Gong's idea, this order should have been extremely easy.

Even the most powerful indigenous warlord in the iron sand desert did not dare to attack the goods of the 'factory'.

But to everyone's surprise, when the convoy was driving to the Great Rift Valley, a group of wanderers suddenly attacked, and the scattered informants were killed instantly. There was no time to warn, and the powerful firepower of the other party was completely unlike that of the indigenous people, directly paralyzing the entire team. convoy.

The mine workers and escorts died tragically one after another. Even he, a veteran bounty hunter, was outnumbered. He was stabbed at close range and lost consciousness, which directly led to this time travel.

The reason why he didn't die on the spot was because during the process of mechanization of the human body, some vital organs were replaced by mechanical bodies.

In this sudden confrontation, the mechanical hunter Senior Engineer was killed, and a new consciousness traveled through time and space and successfully merged with the dead.

Gao Gong became Gao Gong.

In Gao Gong's scattered and messy memory, there were two groups of people attacking the convoy. One group dealt with the guards on the convoy, and the other group targeted himself.

After defeating four opponents, he was attacked by someone, stabbed through the chest from behind, and nailed to the front seat of the car. Blood and artificial protein liquid were dripping down the blade.

Heavy footsteps sounded, the sound of boots on the sand, and a mechanical head poked through the car window.

The red light of the visual collector wandered repeatedly on the chest and head, making a "squeaking" sound, as if he was ready to take another shot at any time.

"Confirm object."

The other party's voice simulation system produced a dull and uneventful mechanical synthesized sound, but for some reason, Gao Gong could hear a hint of excitement.

In the interstellar society, many mechanical beings will have a special interest in the bodies of intelligent races, which is scientifically called "machine diarrhea".

It is worth mentioning that although the opponent has a metal head, what is exposed outside the military uniform is a slightly pale complexion with no veins or skin lines - a cloned human body?

This look looks a bit familiar.

"Is the person alive?" There seemed to be another voice coming from outside the car. Due to the blurred consciousness, the voice appeared distorted and unreal.

The senior engineer noticed that the flesh on the other person's neck was obviously everted, as if the head was inserted directly into the chest. The exposed wires and fluid tubes also proved this.

‘Inferior implant system, neural splicing below level 4, not even micro-bionics. This thing can only be sold as garbage on the civilized black market, and it is also the lowest level of mechanical garbage. ’

The mechanical head didn't seem to have any intention of taking another shot. Instead, it stretched out its hand and groped Gao Gong's body.

‘You really want to do it while it’s hot! ’

Just when Gao Gong's anus was about to tighten, the other party took out something from Gao Gong's pocket.

That is——the preliminary citizen certificate of Machinery City!

This is the treasure that everyone in the iron sand desert dreams of!

This small book almost wiped out the original owner's savings. Otherwise, with the original owner's worth, it would be impossible to do such a low-level escort.

According to the plan, in a few months, when the expenses are collected, the original owner will go to the city that never sleeps, with the ambition of becoming famous.

Become a city dweller!

But - how would the other party know?

Just when the opponent was bending down, Gao Gong's eyes fell on the chest of the opponent's gray body armor, where a coat of arms with a flesh shield and a metal spear hung.

‘This is... the Meat Mechanical Knights of the Machine Split Star? ’

The distant memory suddenly came closer, and matched with the memory of 'Gao Gong'. Gao Gong was shocked to find that he seemed to have traveled back to the cyber testing ground at the beginning of "Cyber ​​World", which is also commonly known as the novice. Village, and it was a year before the player arrived.

The cyborgs in front of us are the artificial soldiers of the Knights, and the Meat Knights (also known as the Revenge Knights) are another dark force that opposes the Mechanical City. It is a terrorist organization with the goal of subverting the rule of the Mechanical City. , tentacles spread all over the post-disaster continent, and there are rumors that the leader of this organization is a military artificial intelligence from the pre-civilization era.

‘So, the ‘zoological disaster’ has not yet started, the city that never sleeps has not fallen, and the corporate war is still in the preparation stage. ’

‘A series of cyber waves such as memory loss, personality reset, and pheromone viruses are still far away. ’

‘This planet is still under the control of the three mother cities? ’

'At this point in time... the Knights should be preparing to launch the first battle of the beast weapon disaster - the 'Battle of Hydera'! ’

‘This is an early expansion pack that players have not participated in! ’

"Kill him!" The distorted voice sounded again.

"No, this body is good. It will be my collection. I want to keep it fresh so that it can be replaced at any time."

"The agreement...does not match...the cooperation with your group..."

"Inferior scum, remember, the Knights are not threatened by anything!"

As the words "Knights" rang out, an electronic panel suddenly appeared in front of Gao Gong's eyes, and the attributes of the 'skull' were fully exposed.

‘This is—system template! ’

The senior engineer was surprised and happy, and as soon as he thought about it, sure enough, the familiar panel lit up again.

Oops, this basic attribute is such a double bonus stick!

The game panel has two pages in total. When switching to the second page, a gray box pops up.

'The civilization template has not been opened yet, please open it after the host meets the conditions'

Gao Gong was shocked and his eyes were complicated.

‘What’s said in the game forum is true! Sure enough, there is a second set of civilization templates! ’

As early as the late stage of the game, many players suspected that in addition to the 'career template' that comes with the players, "Cyber ​​World" should also have a 'civilization construction template'. Otherwise, in the later stage, it would be almost impossible to rely on the players themselves. It is possible to fight against various powerful advanced civilization forces, not to mention the expensive civilization ascension.

When the three major natural disasters invaded, players were captured, sliced, and studied by various civilized forces, and another set of "NPC templates" were launched from the "player templates". As a result, the NPCs in this game were upgraded more than the players. Come on, can you believe this! ?

This caused the popularity of the game to skyrocket. There were all kinds of complaints in the forum, and posts about modifying the difficulty of the game flooded the screen every day. As a result, the dog planner did not wait, but what was waiting was various NPCs who followed the network cable to arrest people.

In reality, huge mechanical arms fall from the sky, alien monsters cross the atmosphere, artificial intelligence controls the nuclear arsenals of major countries, and species viruses are raging around the world.

Virtuality and reality are reversed, and NPCs become truly advanced players.

The cyber world has become the cyberpunk of the real world.
