Starting as a Mechanical Hunter-Chapter 346 - 118: Planet Gene Sewing Net

"You, you, you, you—"

Seeing Pupil’s stunned expression, Gao Gong shrugged and said, "It seems the moral chip no longer matches my moral standards, don’t you think?"

Pupil’s vision blurred, and the handsome man in front of him disappeared, replaced by a mass of flesh and blood. The surrounding environment vanished as well, leaving behind eyes, tentacles, blood, fungi, corrosive liquids, teeth, and mechanical monsters buried within the flesh.

Gao Gong smiled slightly, and it was as if there were different faces within the gaps between his teeth.

Pupil left in a daze, unlikely to cause trouble for him in the short term.

"Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division, huh," Gao Gong muttered to himself.

This secret department actually has quite a few experts, but aside from Yagami Suuji and that Old Man Aramaki, there aren’t many who truly make him wary.

However, the troublesome part is that they have an elite special forces team, with mechanical bodies at Level 50, and like Yagami Suuji, they can mobilize the planet’s weapon systems, legion systems, and air-ground systems at any time, which can be very troublesome to deal with.

Without Sister Rose’s tip, Gao Gong would have had to perform a memory modification surgery on these two people at the very least this time.

But now, scaring them off is enough.

He has more important things to do.

First, he upgraded the [Mutated Gene Map] and [Species Packaging] to lv10.

The professional traits unlocked were ’Genetic Mutation Enhancement’ and ’Alien Sealing’.

Genetic Mutation Enhancement: Many people believe that mutation is a kind of evolution through mutation, uncontrollable and easily derailed, but in fact, mutation itself can also evolve.

Alien Sealing: Just as plants can be grafted, and organs can be transplanted between organisms, so too can encapsulation occur between creatures from different planets.

This sealing technology refers to sealing the organs of different species within a closed container, creating a special environment that allows different types of organs to rapidly fuse and grow into something even more dangerous.

Then Gao Gong opened the ’Reward Bar’.

There were some very special things inside.

Genetic Fragments — 70

Bloodline Fragments — 30

Alien Gene Chain — 3 chains

Thanks to the ’Pro-foreigner’ mindset of the Cloud Nobility, a large portion of these genetic fragments and bloodline fragments are of alien origin.

The three complete gene chains are ’Blue Blood People’, ’Fiber Bundle Life’, and ’Carbon-Based Fluid Creature’.

Their descriptions are as follows.

Blue Blood People: Known for their mysterious aura and enigmatic speech style, Blue Blood People are a half-carbon-based, half-information life form famous in the Robert Star System. Through the diligent work of interstellar traders, some Star Thief influences have dissected Blue Blood People bodies to uncover their secrets. It turns out that their blood contains special informational substances, allowing them to frequently perceive higher-dimensional existences.

Fiber Bundle Life: A purely thought-based life form, the flowers of the fiber bundle bloom across an entire planet’s surface and are among the few beings capable of devouring the planet’s will.

Carbon-Based Fluid Creature: Not all carbon-based life forms are arthropods. In fact, in high-temperature, high-radiation, extreme-freezing environments, fluid life forms are more likely to survive. They are often contemptuously referred to as ’snot creatures’ or ’large bacterial aggregations’.

’Ha, these three types, typical high-pay low-skill.’

Unexpectedly, the Cloud Nobility paid a significant price for these three gene chains.

And it’s certain that they were scammed.

The rank of bloodlines is not fakeable, these three bloodlines are standard ’Level 3 Civilization Bloodlines’ that can touch the path to ascension.

But among Tier 3 bloodlines, they are rare trash bloodlines.

Blue Blood People sound impressive, half-carbon-based, half-information, but in the universe, they are notorious as ’Star System Fraudsters’, ’Multi-level Marketing Leaders’, and ’Fortune Tellers’.

The ’special pheromones’ in their blood do allow them higher dimensional perception, but this perception is intermittent, fragmentary, and difficult to apply, resulting in a strong presence of superstition within their civilization, without much technological advancement—practically everyone is a mystical master.

As for the Fiber Bundle Life, it sounds even more impressive, able to devour the planet’s will—sellers might even claim it can nurture Gaia or rule-based life.

Theoretically speaking, this is not impossible.

But the problem is, Fiber Bundle Life is a typical communal life form, with life units measured in billions, and covering an entire planet requires fiber bundles in exponential billions.

As an individual, what use is there in simply implanting parts of fiber bundle cells!

As for ’Carbon-Based Fluid Creature’, aside from its strong alien survival capabilities, its biggest function is—it’s aesthetically pleasing.

That crystalline, radiant, more dazzling than diamonds appearance, not boiling or burning, is indeed quite attractive, and indeed, for a period, became a symbol of interstellar noblewomen’s status—until its gene structure was cracked by an advanced civilization, and fluid cells could be mass-produced.

Of course, purely based on aesthetics, these three types of Tier 3 bloodlines are unparalleled, with Blue Blood People exuding class, Fiber Bundle Life being overwhelmingly dominant, and Fluid Creatures resplendent.

In short, they fit the aesthetic standards of the wealthy perfectly.

Gao Gong shook his head, sighed, and thought to himself that the ’Wealthy Boss Yun’ is easily brainwashed by consumerism.

Does appearance matter?

Of course, it does!

Looking good is the first step to wooing rich ladies!!!

When the biochemical experimental base on Fucheng Island is completed, Gao Gong’s first step is to replicate these three alien bloodlines.

The key is, while others act pretentious as a soft demand, he does it genuinely as a hard demand.

Rich ladies are great, fragrant, beautiful, and they provide money to spend, what’s wrong with doing something for them.

His target wasn’t these three types of bloodlines, but rather these hundreds of fragments.

’Genetic Adjustment’ activated—

Genetic Adjustment: Allows for independent configuration of genetic fragments, synthesis of genetic chains, creation of synthetic organisms, and increases the success rate of genetic fusion by 50%

In the next moment, these hundreds of genetic fragments turned into hundreds of light spots revolving around Gao Gong, with various genetic information and genetic codes rushing towards him.

Cell Enhancement, Genetic Editing, Energy Infusion, combined with the previously activated ’Genetic Mutation Enhancement’ and ’Alien Sealing,’ all fully activated, with the five full-level knowledge professional traits barely stabilizing these genetic informations.

Countless pieces of information converged in Gao Gong’s mind.

Every genius scholar on the path of evolution will enter this stage.

It is often the flash of insight from these people that creates the miracle of ’Artificial Evolution.’

Gao Gong did not have a flash of insight.

But he could plagiarize.

And the one he plagiarized from was his enemy from the previous life, the Blade Queen.

Compared to the 5th Generation Miller’s simple and crude implantation of the Nest bloodline, what Gao Gong wanted to do back then was to replicate an entire Insect Race technology.

This plan was still ongoing up until his time travel.

In this process, he didn’t gain nothing; for instance, based on the racial trait of Insect Race’s ’Tribal Assimilation,’ he developed a similar skill.

This skill is equivalent to a smaller version of ’Tribal Assimilation,’ where different alien species genes are skillfully fused together.

And this fusion can greatly reduce the rejection and outburst in the fusion route.

Based on the previous two fusion situations, Gao Gong can be one hundred percent sure that once he breaks through Level 20, the preliminary fusion of mechanical energy and biological energy will definitely go berserk.

This difficulty is probably no less than a hell-level task.

So it’s still necessary to reduce the task’s difficulty.

Fortunately, these genetic fragments provided Gao Gong with a means to cope.

Otherwise, he really planned to seclude himself for a month or two, relying on various rejection-reducing methods to withstand it.

No route will be like the fusion route, with every 10 levels being a major hurdle.

[Fusion complete, you have researched Level 16 Biological Blueprint[Planet Gene Sewing Net]]

The blueprint limit of a Level 1 Civilization is Level 5, Level 2 Civilization is Level 10, the Level 16 blueprint, just exceeds the limit of the Cyber Test Field.

Planet Gene Sewing Net: Through the genes of different planetary creatures, temporarily creates a genetic ecosystem to suppress genetic trait outbursts

Suppressing genetic trait outbursts is Mikhaila Protozoa’s most extraordinary skill, and it was by virtue of this method that the Blade Queen suppressed countless civilizations, acquiring thousands of servant races, and vast technological resources.

"To turn the blueprint into reality, I need to buy blank cells, editable genes, as well as a cell tuner, gene adhesive machine, and biological culture medium..."

"Can the black market gather these things?"

"However, there’s one person who should be able to help me."

...

The next day, Gao Gong got up early and went straight to the black market he was familiar with.

After looking at three places, they were all abandoned, one underground black market even showed obvious traces of battle.

Two Peacekeepers saw Gao Gong’s suspicious movements and gave him a few extra glances, but when they saw the ’implant marks’ on the back of his head, they looked away again.

Gao Gong then went to the former headquarters of the Welfare Gang, the large seafood restaurant, which was now empty as well.

"Old man, where are the people inside?"

The old man sipping tea at the door lifted his head, adjusted his glasses, and sighed, "Ran away, they all ran away, if they don’t they’ll lose their lives!"

"Ran away?" Gao Gong muttered to himself. There were only about twenty of them including Daisila, and if they really dispersed in Nightless City, it would indeed be hard to find them.

"Why did they run away?"

The old man looked at Gao Gong with a complex expression, lifted his chin, and Gao Gong turned his head to see a holographic TV broadcasting the news.

"Currently, the Outer City District and Old Town District have completed the moral restructuring of citizens, and now only Saint Domingo District and Sub-human Continent are left. Due to the special nature of these two districts, the Illusionary United Corporation and Mechanical Main Brain will send representatives to negotiate and complete the final moral tasks."

Gao Gong made a sound of acknowledgment, didn’t say anything further, and went straight home.

The whole morning ended up being a wasted trip.

"Forget it, let’s go online, it’s been a while since I saw Boss Gao."

But as soon as he got online, he received some very unfortunate news.

Gox had disappeared.
