Starting as a Mechan Chapter 77 - 68: Negotiation and Compromise

Chapter 77: Chapter 68: Negotiation and Compromise

In a scene rife with danger, with one sentence from Gao Gong, a subtle shift imdiately occurred.

Du Zhaodi, as the factory’s inspection personnel, in a sense, can represent the factory’s stance.

Everyone wants the new technology, so why can’t it be the factory?

Du Zhaodi smiled and looked at Gao Gong: "Is your technology really powerful?"

"Of course it’s powerful, won all say it’s good, ahem, what I an is, our technology has the power to control Radiation Beasts."

"Don’t believe , let

show you."

Gao Gong suddenly wrapped an arm around Du Zhaodi’s waist, and the next mont, the lights buzzed as all electronic devices and signals suffered severe interference simultaneously.

All Exoskeleton Warriors and Combat Robots experienced a montary stiffness.

Outside the window, the drone creaked, and smoke erged from the gun barrel.

Gao Gong waved a single hand, and the glass shattered directly.

Gao Gong took two steps, then leaped down from at least five stories high.

Du Zhaodi clung tightly to his chest, feeling the heat radiating from it, unsure if it was from him or her own flushed cheeks.

"Is it beautiful?"

Du Zhaodi looked up and found the surrounding space had transford—rainbows circled around them, the sky seed to be painted with colors, air whistled by, pedestrians below looked like ants as they swung between various buildings.

After a while, Du Zhaodi recovered from the state of tense excitent, gazing infatuated at Gao Gong without uttering a word, only tightening her grip.

"If you have this kind of technology, we can leave imdiately, my special aircraft can take you away."

However, as soon as they landed, Du Zhaodi instantly regained her composed aura, calmly analyzing the current situation.

"They won’t let

leave," Gao Gong smiled and shook his head, "they wouldn’t before, and they definitely won’t now."

Leader Template: Radiation Field Mastery

Effect 1: Electronic Control, affecting all electronic devices within the range of the radiation field

Effect 2: Mutated Energy Collection, empowering weapons by gathering radiation energy

Effect 3: Beast Driver, within your radiation field, all Radiation Beasts below B-level, you can choose: Bless/Strip

Gao Gong briefly explained his abilities, and even though Du Zhaodi was not a combat personnel, she instantly understood.

A radiation field controlled by one man can truly influence the battle situation.

The simplest example, under the protection of Gao Gong’s radiation field, the Security Corps’ electronic instrunts can remain unaffected.

Just because of this, the Security Corps will never let Gao Gong leave.

"Then why didn’t you just say it directly? Since your ability has such unique benefits, why call

here?"

"Can’t I just miss you?"

Du Zhaodi looked at him seriously, different from Sister Rose, who likes seeking thrills at work, while this Screw Rich Lady, once in work mode, is ticulous.

Gao Gong smiled and shook his head: "Honestly, I’m not worried about those chanical Transforrs; at least I can escape if I can’t beat them, but if those Cyber Hackers make a move, I might not be able to resist."

Cyber Hackers are different from regular hackers; they hack people’s brains with extrely varied thods of manipulating human bodies.

Those few hackers, silent and almost nonexistent, are the ones Gao Gong fears the most.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to expose two trump cards.

One is ’ntal Tentacles,’ and the other is ’Du Zhaodi.’

The forr can block a hacker’s intrusion for a short ti, while the latter prevents the situation from becoming irreparable.

"By the way, what about that tentacle of yours?" Du Zhaodi couldn’t help but ask, she dislikes sticky things, so if Gao Gong really turned into a tentacle monster, it would be uncomfortable for her.

If it were Sister Rose, she might find it particularly thrilling.

"Oh, this," Gao Gong extended his palm, and the next mont, a translucent blue tentacle extended from his palm and floated in mid-air.

Aside from its shape, the Sub-Body of the ’Brain-in-a-Vat’ is quite beautiful.

With a thought, Gao Gong transford it into a blue glowing orb, hovering above their heads, dreamlike and ethereal.

Na: Sub-Body (Brain-in-a-Vat)

Energy Level: C

Race: Primary Information Entity

Information Level: 56

Life Value: 200/200

Biological Attributes: Power 1 Agility 1 Endurance 1 Intelligence 1 Perception 1

Skills: mory Extraction lv6, Trunk Informationization lv4 (Advanced), Information Barrier lv3 (Advanced), Information Devouring lv2 (Elite)

Note: This is a rare information lifeform; although it is small, its potential is unlimited.

Gao Gong doesn’t care about its future potential and doesn’t plan to raise it with brain matter.

What he cares about, is that the next step of transformation finally has a direction.

The ’Great Brain’ is quite considerate; whatever he thinks of, it sends over, he’ll send a few factories for it to devour later.

Impressions in mory, at its peak, the Knight Order had over a hundred Biological Factories operating simultaneously, producing Beastification Soldiers endlessly.

Although it’s not at its peak now, there are still thirty to forty underground factories.

The scale of so Biological Factories is not much smaller than chanical Factories.

Thinking of this, Gao Gong’s heart stirred, and he smiled: "Director Du, are you interested in becoming a factory director?"

Du Zhaodi was taken aback; being a ’factory director’ isn’t easy, you need to have several new equipnt production lines, which are all corporate secrets.

And to beco a factory director, you must first join the ’chanical Committee’ of this continent, which is the ’factory’s’ highest authority, only entry is through great achievents.

It can be said that each of the ’factory’ system’s dozens of directors has the backing of major enterprises.

"Are you boasting again?"

"When have I ever bragged—"

Gao Gong was about to make a few jokes when his right prosthetic eye suddenly started emitting a ’sizzling’ sound.

[Prosthetic body under invasion]

[Quick crack of electronic defense wall]

[Severe interference with visual sensor]

[Electronic positioning in progress]

Gao Gong’s face darkened, and the ’blue light sphere’ imdiately transford into countless tentacles, enveloping the two of them like a fleshy ball barrier.

Outside the barrier, the sound of electrical sparks kept echoing.

"This is a rural area without a cyber network. If you want to hack into my head, you have to see if my tentacles agree."

The next mont, the radiation field lit up again, with various radiation rays churning everywhere.

Although the way for a cyber hacker to infiltrate the human brain is through sensory signals rather than electronic signals, the radiation field has little impact.

But sensory signals can only have maximum effect with the help of electronic signals.

And in this radiation zone where even the local area network is severely disrupted, it severely affected the hacker’s performance.

Gao Gong’s vision turned from clear to blurry and then from blurry to clear again, indicating that the opponent’s invasion failed.

"It’s impolite not to reciprocate, little brain flower, information devouring."

The next mont, a series of spiritual nodes lit up on the transparent tentacles, turning into what looked like eyeballs. In the center of each eyeball, small fleshy buds began to sprout.

A shadow of a cyber hacker seed to flicker through the air.

A shrill scream seed to echo through the air.

[In the electronic invasion battle, you defeated the legion hacker White Pupa, experience

316 points]

However, the next mont, the ’special effects machine’ on Gao Gong’s collar suddenly lit up, and the scene of the conference room reappeared.

It seed that another cyber hacker had made a move.

But the image was intermittent, apparently also suffering from severe interference from the radiation field.

In the ’conference room’, only the faces of the two quasi-generals were clear.

This indicated it was a private conversation.

"Let’s talk terms," Geville said straightforwardly, "we can’t do anything to you, but we also can’t let you leave."

Demon Mountain laughed heartily: "Boy, you’ve really chosen a good mont."

Gao Gong grinned.

Sure enough, after realizing they couldn’t handle him, the tone of the two shifted 180 degrees.

"My terms? Let

think. Director Du has worked hard; what do you think about a position as a ’chanical Committee’ mber for her?"

...

In the conference room, as the ’virtual invasion’ disconnected, the faces of the two quasi-generals didn’t look too good.

After a while, Geville managed to force a smile, "What a cunning little devil, he has everything planned."

Demon Mountain snorted coldly: "That kid must have sothing going on with that woman nad Du."

"Create a ’chanical Committee’ mber, have us make a report to establish a warti factory, and then move the ’Human Transformation Technology’ production line to the new factory. It’s all interconnected."

"What we can get is only 50% of the patents and priority purchasing rights for the products. It’s quite a deal."

The two generals didn’t look well. This move was like getting sothing for nothing.

Not to ntion, if this really succeeded, his status would be drastically elevated, turning from a re subordinate into an upper-class figure in the desert.

"Let’s agree for now, keep him happy first."

"At worst, settle the score later."

Demon Mountain looked at Geville, whose face didn’t look good at all. The opponent was a chanical general brought in from the front lines, and after blocking the beast tide, he would simply leave.

He was the one truly bearing the burden.

Not to ntion that just getting a ’chanical Committee’ position might cost him many connections and offend a lot of people.

The chanical Committee has only 40 seats. To put soone in ans to empty a seat.

Who would willingly ’step down and let others rise’?

"Everything for the bigger picture!" Demon Mountain emphasized.

Geville let out a long breath.

"Let’s do it for now."

When Geville returned to his office, he imdiately requested information on Gao Gong and Du Zhaodi.

Sure enough, the two were from the sa factory, which had recruited many war orphans post-war according to the Mother City’s chanical directives.

But Geville soon discovered sothing interesting. The original orphans were not just the two of them; there was actually one more, who was now his subordinate.

A mont later, Zhao chanism was summoned in.

"Greetings, General!"

Zhao chanism was sowhat nervous, understandably so, as Manager Zhou was his direct superior, and the one before him was his superior’s superior.

"Do you know these two?"

Zhao chanism looked at the two photos on the table, hesitated for a mont, and nodded.

"Since you know them, that’s good. I have a task for you."

"This task is very important. If you do it well, Old Zhou’s position will be yours."
