Start with a Mechanical Hunter

If the    senior engineer remembers correctly, his last nightmare-level mission was to stop the beast tide.

   almost killed himself.

   This time it was the same nightmare, but a different type of nightmare.

  【Mission: Tide of Laughter】

   Difficulty: Nightmare

Mission briefing: Between giant companies and the streets, neon lights are flickering, every light is a sealed or distorted humanity, the monopoly is screaming, utopia has risen from the ground, the **** who cannot think , or a paradise of black humor

   Mission Objective: The Pale Knights are dispatched to flood the city with screams

   Victory decision:

   Success conditions: 1. Suppressing the will of the giant and the angel of the sky, 2. Suppressing the mechanical mastermind, destroying the moral chip implantation plan

   Failure conditions: 1. The pale angel devours the machine generation and incarnates the will of the world enterprise; 2. The old and new machine generation is combined into one, and is promoted to the fifth-level mastermind

  Quest Reward 1:

   Implant a 'Laughing Bat Chip' for your own faction, experience 1000

   For each 'Laughter Infected' infected by your own faction, experience 100

   For each illusory executive captured by one's own faction, experience 10,000

   Kill a high-ranking police officer with 30000 experience and 1000 reputation

  Quest Reward 2:

   Incomplete mechanical puzzle*1, specialization point*4, skill point*5, lottery chance*5, incomplete mechanical puzzle*2

  Task reward three:

  Original timeline change*2%, Mechanic City reputation 8000, a professional knowledge chain

   Task reward four:

   faction points 10000

  …

  The city that never sleeps was swallowed up by the beast tide in its heyday.

   Now the tide of beasts is gone, but the tide of natural disasters has appeared.

  The senior engineer replaced the role of the 'Knights', in a sense, this is quite appropriate.

   And this 'Nightmare' quest, the reward is obviously higher than the last time.

   For senior engineers, just a “professional knowledge chain” can be worth all the rewards of the previous mission.

   This actually makes sense—because this is a cyber proving ground.

   In the Cyber ​​Proving Ground, dealing with corporations is much more difficult than dealing with an army of radiant beasts.

In cyber-style games, movies, and novels, there is often such an ending, that is, the core of a giant enterprise that you have tried so hard to blow up turns out to be just a branch, or your dead father, mother and wife, The president of the company who was finally killed turned out to be just a clone, and the real man behind the scenes was someone else.

   At this point, players in the later stages of the planetary story have a deep understanding.

   Essentially, killing a company is equivalent to suppressing a technical route, which is far from something that can be done by force.

   Even if the senior engineer is now level 90, he can suppress the mechanical army of the main brain and the army of security guards, punch the machine, and smash the illusory building purely by force, but the other party only needs to upload a corporate data to solve the problem.

  You can't tear up the cybernet.

   At least level 90 can't do this.

   Therefore, to fight against enterprises, we can only rely on products to fight against big data, and rely on the will of enterprises to fight against the will of enterprises.

  The senior engineer regards the player as a product and simulates big data with the civilizational characteristics of 'Super Brain Civilization', while he himself has to act as the will of the enterprise.

   The last point is the hardest.

   Fortunately, this "corporate war" is a bit special. …

   As a lot of white light appeared, the sky also began to become 'dark clouds'.

   This phenomenon is actually a vision caused by the 'Mechanical Master Brain' activating the mechanical system of the entire mechanical city, and the 'energy scum' ejected.

   This means that Jidai also noticed something wrong and started to compete with the opponent for computing power.

   'bang' 'bang' 'bang' 'bang'

   On the road, pedestrians have their heads shot without warning, and their brains are scattered all over the floor.

   In terms of headshots, players and NPCs are treated equally.

   One after another 'missile silos' opened, and a large number of mechanical eyeliners spewed out, and hundreds of thousands of 'mechanical flies' covered the sky, surrounding the illusory building.

  The screams of countless metals rubbing against each other sounded in an instant.

   In a building with hundreds of floors, the bulletproof glass burst almost at the same time.

   "Hugh Laurie!

  ”

   The overbearing president of the gold-wire glasses seemed to have expected this scene long ago, and let the giant palm turned into a mechanical eyeliner break through the support column, crush the floor, and pinched it.

   Looking around, it seemed that the God of Machines stuck out a hand from the dark cloud and pinched a big gap in the building.

  Hugh Laurie was caught in the dark clouds, and the violent radiation energy rotted his body in an instant, all his hair fell out, his skin wrinkled, and a large number of pustules came out.

   until pulled to a red eyeball.

   A violent mechanical roar sounded.

   "You betrayed me!?"

  Hugh Laurie smiled, though his lips soon turned to goo.

   "Everything is going according to your plan, the moral chip, the human completion plan, the next stage of the mastermind promotion, our company has no intention of disobeying you."

   "Then why are you robbing me of computing power, and it's still at this time!"

  The entire body of the overbearing president was also crushed. In addition to the fractures in the bones, there were also broken electronic parts, especially in the brain bone, which was a series of chip sockets.

  Hugh Laurie's voice disappeared, replaced by a frenetic electronic sound.

   "We are just assisting your plan. After all, in the final step of the plan, all the creatures on earth belong to you - and this naturally includes us."

   "Angels, of course, serve before the Lord."

Hugh Laurie's body was crushed. However, white light shot out from his fingers one after another. Each white light was a vision condensed to the extreme by a large number of algorithms. These white lights madly penetrated the body of the mechanical master brain. , begin to assimilate each other.

   Human Completion!

   Master Brain Completion!

   Jidai also didn't expect that the other party didn't care about his own death at all, and even used himself as a bait to attract her.

The purpose of    is precisely to let the will of the enterprise devour itself.

   "After I die, angels will come to earth."

   The next moment, the eyes of the tens of thousands of employees of the Unreal Building flashed white light.

  The simulated data of the city that never sleeps began to materialize, and a large number of white silk threads began to appear in the air, from human brain to human brain, from data node to data node.

   "A sudden blow from the back when the two female protagonists are entangled in their heads is not a kind of NTR," the senior engineer said to himself.

   However, for someone who is familiar with the plot, this is a high probability. …

   But for players, it is completely different!

   At this moment, there are only three thoughts in the player's mind.

  ‘Fuck, sudden plot animation! ’

  ‘Fuck, the plot animation randomly kills people! ’

  ‘Holy crap, why do you have a feeling of kidney deficiency, you won’t be dropped. ’

  Many players were walking and suddenly disconnected.

   The extraction of computing power will not tell whether you are a player or an NPC.

   The computing power of tens of millions of people has gathered, and within this period of time, it has been equivalent to the computing power of the mother city.

  The senior engineer looked in the direction of Sunless City, and black rainbows pierced through the cyberspace and into the mechanical city.

   Jidai cannot surrender, he has to speed up the speed of devouring the old Jidai, and after devouring, suppress the will of the enterprise.

   "All of this is really as you expected!"

  Data was transmitted at the speed of light, and ‘No Speaker’ appeared behind the senior engineer almost instantly.

   At this time, the former mechanical master looked at the sky in shock, and then looked at the back of the senior engineer even more shocked.

  The new generation suppresses the old generation

  The will of the enterprise forcibly swallows up the machine generation

   Even the counterattack of the new generation, pulling it over.

  Everything is in the calculation of the other party.

   "Hand on, let me borrow a shell."

  Speaker Wu gave a wry smile, does he have a choice now?

  Corporate will win, it must die.

   And the new machine generation wins, it will also be suppressed, and the source code will become a step for the opponent to advance.

   "Hope you can do what you want to do!"

  In the galleries of the Sunless City, all the paintings began to melt.

  Although the mechanical mastermind of 'No Speaker' has long existed in name only, but 'existence in name' can play a key role at certain moments.

   For example, now!

  Reality disappeared, and the senior engineer seemed to fall into a code abyss.

   Surrounded by boundless data, programs, and system codes, even if the senior engineers light up all the "hacker features", there is still a feeling of suffocation.

   Is this the legendary programmer hell?

   The body is endless, the time is endless, the programming is endless, and the suffering is endless.

  ‘Yuanyuan! ’

  ‘Brother, I understand! ’

   At the next moment, half of the power of Gao Yuanyuan, the virtual life, was integrated with Gaogong, and countless hyperlinks were drilled out of Gaogong's body, forming a fan of 'website gates'.

   Sites and URLs pass by Gao Gong's ears. Every time he passes through a gate, Gao Gong seems to be a little closer to the 'abyss'.

   Finally, with the help of the cheap sister, Gao Gong came to the bottom of the abyss.

   That is a huge mechanical hub deeply embedded in the '9-3 Guanzhong Plate', with countless pipes extending from it and sending them to the surface.

   The area alone is terrifying, equivalent to half a city that never sleeps, and the mechanical energy is even more terrifying, almost breaking 100 million.

   Of course, this counts all the enterprises, factories, and production bases in the Machine City.

  ‘I can’t help you much, are you sure you can hold it down? ’

  ‘Less nonsense. ’

  The senior engineer took a deep breath. The next moment, countless data gates were born from the ground, and the resource locators were dancing wildly.

   "Well then, turn on my main brain center, I can still do this."

   The next moment, the mechanical center at the feet of the high-level workers disappeared.

   is replaced by a large iron gate with no side visible. On the surface of the iron gate, there are servers, processors, and various computing units.

   The sound of thousands of radiators roaring and filial piety seemed to sound in the ears of the senior engineer.

   "Don't get lost in the source of the data," No Speaker gave a final warning.

  The figure of the senior engineer slowly sank, and at the end, he calmly said:

   "I will not get lost, because I am the source!"

  The senior workers disappeared.

   In the city that never sleeps, strange code instructions are issued from the mechanical master brain, from a civilian server to another public data center, and then to an enterprise database.

   Next time, when the senior engineer reappears, it will no longer be Mr. G—it will be the mechanical master g.
