Start with a Mechanical Hunter

 Players are not so miserable at the beginning.

Just imagine, if the players did not show the powerful destructive power of the ‘Fourth Natural Disaster’, how could they be targeted by top civilizations and even turned into biological cans?

In fact, in the game experience of "Cyber ​​World", players have had a glorious period, and the time point of this glorious period is after the Cyber ​​Testing Ground came out and before encountering the ascension civilization.

At this point in time, after experiencing the abnormal intensity of the Cyber ​​Proving Ground, and suddenly entering the normal interstellar difficulty, they suddenly realized one thing, that is - Damn it, I turned out to be so awesome! ? It turns out that I was once pampered by the version? ?

 And the Velvet Star Bandits became the first wave of victims of the rise of the ‘Fourth Natural Disaster’.

Amidst the fire from the floating cannon, these star thieves suddenly discovered that their damage was far less than they imagined.

In the starship system, the floating cannon is between micro and small energy cannons, with a killing power of 10,000 to 50,000. This kind of damage, if the player is hit head-on, is indeed likely to cause instant kill damage, but, How could the players who had been trained as veteran pilots just rush forward like this? Almost as soon as the spacecraft landed forcefully, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers.

Some players formed a fixed team, with senior corporate knights in front. The corporate knights held mechanical deformation shields and moved forward step by step with the light of energy cannons. The surface of this corporate-customized shield was wrapped with a special energy film. This kind of The energy film can not only reduce damage, but also reflect energy rays with a certain probability.

As for the transformation-crazy players, the body-mounted modules all over their body have already detected dozens of long-range weapons, strengthened heavy machine guns, energy weapons, biochemical howitzers, and mini-drone swarms. They are resisting artillery fire while counterattacking. The firepower is huge. They were so powerful that wherever they passed, the bodies of the star thieves were directly torn apart. The equipment they obtained from the black market was completely unable to withstand the opponent's attack.

“Damn it, the second-level troops still use blank weapons, bro, are you kidding me?”

 A player whose mechanical transformation rate exceeds 100% couldn't help but complain.

When the cadres of the Velvet Star Thieves Group saw that these 'interstellar civilians' were far more difficult to deal with than they imagined, they also gave up. These are the elites of this small Star Thieves Group. Not only are their equipment all high-end black goods, but most importantly What's more, they have one or two boss templates hanging on them.

 NPCs with boss templates and NPCs without boss templates are completely different species.

 A boss template is enough to increase the HP of an NPC.

 These dozen senior cadres with boss templates are the real members of the Star Thief Group in Velvet's mind. As for the other Star Thieves, they are all goods that can be mass-produced.

  As soon as these ‘Star Thief Bosses’ came out, they immediately caused a lot of damage to the players.

 A blue brain flower of the 'Star Thief Boss' suddenly lit up, and then blue current fell overwhelmingly in a radius of 500*500 meters, sweeping away all nearby players.

Another star thief boss activated carbon-based fusion, and his flesh and blood body instantly skyrocketed by a hundred meters, turning into a giant monster whose upper body seemed to have been peeled off, and whose lower body was covered with black spikes. On the four arms of the giant, The palms that are covered with the size of millstones are either punched or held together, often with just a horizontal sweep to clean them all.

As for the other bosses, they also used their methods to cause the damage that the Star Thief Group should have done in this local battlefield.

 It is worth mentioning that after the transformation of these star thief bosses, their levels have exceeded the third level, and their biological energy has also exceeded the tens of millions.

 “A transformation technology with biological superpowers?” Gao Gong was suspended outside the planet, eating melons silently.

If human genes are regarded as strings of codes, the genetic combinations of most carbon-based intelligent species are just a mountain of codes.

What’s even more annoying is that once optimization is done for Shit Mountain, it is very likely to cause bugs. This kind of bug is not a virtual test bug. Once it appears, no matter how advanced the life is, it will perish.

 So the update of the "human body code" takes tens of thousands of years, and if you are not careful, all the hard work done in the early stage will be in vain.

 Once successful, a powerful race will often be cultivated.

From Gao Gong's point of view, the biological transformation technology of this Star Thief Group is a third-level transformation technology. This is probably why the task given by the system is third-level.

However, Gao Gong also clearly saw that there were huge problems with this transformation technology. Otherwise, there would not be hundreds of thousands of star thieves, and only a dozen or so would break through to the third level.

 Whether it can be mass-produced is always the highest criterion for measuring a technology.

But then again, if the success rate of this technology is really high, and all these hundreds of thousands of Star Thieves break through the third level, it is impossible for a Star Thieves group of this level to be a small Star Thief group, even if it is him, They can only avoid its edge first and wait until the army of meat mechas is formed before they can regain their position.

The opponent's third-level body transformation technology is immature, but his meat mecha technology is very mature. It has 10 million biological energy and 10 million mechanical energy at the same time. Even if the opponent's technology is mature, it cannot compare with his own mecha fusion technology.     If calculated based on equipment level.

The other party's technology is probably at the third level - whiteboard level, but my own technology is at the second level - epoch-making level.

Once an epoch-making technology breaks through, it will definitely far exceed the opponent's technical level. Even if there is no breakthrough, the opponent will still be beaten.

 For the meat mecha to break through to the third level, in addition to mass production, the key is whether it can enter the fusion mode.

Once integrated, the senior engineer can probably confirm that it is not impossible that the biomechanical energy of the mecha can skyrocket to more than 50 million, or even exceed 100 million levels.

As for this kind of super unit, it is not a problem to defeat a third-level civilization's weapons alone.

Even if it has entered a mature stage and is on the verge of ascending to the third level, its top-level military strength is nothing more than this.

  Such a civilization, no matter which one, has experienced at least hundreds of thousands of years of development, or even longer.

Just when the senior engineer's thoughts were diverging, the battle situation changed again. Unexpectedly, it was not the battle on the ground of the dwarf planet that decided the winner, but the ten star pirate ships in the sky, as if they had made an appointment, lost control at the same time, or Either an explosion or an escape from the control of the Star Thieves. Although the Star Thief Group has nearly a hundred small starships in total, ten ships losing control at once is enough to give a toothache for a while.

On one of the fallen Star Thief ships, on a rainy night, without an umbrella, he was silently putting away his knife, and under his knife, the body of a senior Velvet cadre was twitching continuously.

“Brother Umbrella, are you done? The self-destruction process is about to start.”

Brother Umbrella nodded silently, and his figure disappeared instantly.

On another fallen starship, Ms. Tick-Ta appeared outside the nuclear reactor, spreading countless energy hyphae from her palms. Under the influence of the hyphae, the nuclear reactor's light became brighter and brighter, until finally explode.

In addition to the several starships that exploded, there were also several star pirate ships that turned against each other on the spot and attacked other starships in turn.

Inside some Star Thief ships, all the Star Thieves are killing each other, and the control room is filled with blood. On some Star Thief ships, all Star Thieves are prohibited from doing so, and they are mechanically controlled on each floating gun control platform, and the target of the attack is very small. It was clear that they were other colleagues in the Star Thieves Group. Strange data fluctuations flashed in the eyes of these Star Thieves.

　　‘There is no brain-computer firewall installed. These aliens must be too arrogant. ’

‘The firewall inside this broken ship is not very good. I have hacked into it and watched me control the ship to explode from a distance. ’

‘How come the attack strength of these ship-borne energy cannons gives me the feeling that it is not as strong as the company’s defense system, that’s what aliens do? ’

 Intrusions by players with these professions or bloodlines are even smoother: commercial espionage, cyber hackers, and data life players.

These veterans who have been honed in cyberspace, hacker wars, and enterprise-level network wars say, is this it? What's the difference between your starship's network defense system and bare metal?

 Don’t you aliens have access to the Internet?

Soon, ten more starships began to defect. After the first 'network invasion', this time the invasion was smoother, and many star thieves were controlled before they could react.

Every interstellar force, even civilized forces, have areas of expertise and lack of expertise. For the Velvet Star Pirates Group, while they have made achievements in physical transformation, it means that they are short-term on a virtual level. plate.

The cadres on the ground were a little anxious. They were not stupid. Since the beginning of the war, they knew that these people were not civilians, but mercenaries who were more elite than them. This time the prey was probably a trap, but the rules within the Star Thieves Group were very strict. Being cold-blooded and fleeing the battlefield without the consent of the leader will be punished by death according to family rules.

In the distance, the big bug Emvir shook his mouthparts with a look of pleasure. He had no idea that these interstellar citizens could fight so well. He thought he had finally woken up and would be forced to encounter the cruel star thieves again. Asleep.

'It's just that advanced virtualization methods, unique and radical transformation technologies, and biological armors and mechas that have never been seen in this star field. Could it be that these people came from that advanced civilization experimental planet, but according to my knowledge Understand, isn’t that planet closed until the experiment is completed, so the experiment is over? ’ Emvir thought thoughtfully.

After another senior member of the Star Thief Group was killed, an explosion suddenly erupted from the main ship of the Star Thief Group, between the engine and the main thrust chamber of the reactor. The leader of the Star Thief Group, Velvet, was finally in a situation where his own people were eager to see through it. Next, he rushed out in an unexpected way.

 Vilvi’s face was blue, but now, his face was as dark as ink.

It's not that he didn't want to take command, but inside the starship, the flow of time seemed to have increased a thousand times. When he came to his senses, the battle situation had fallen into an anxious stalemate.
