Start with Mechanical Hunter

Just as the senior engineer was busy delivering babies, something big was happening in another place that was about to shake the whole world.

On Arasaka Tower, two hacker teams started working at the same time, with the goal of liberating the largest virtual personality storage center on the planet.

In this cyber testing ground, no one dares to say that their personality is okay.

Personality copying is just like the annual physical examination for most people. As long as there are conditions, most people will do it. If there is no problem, it will give you peace of mind. If there is a problem, it will be just right. Whether it is repairs or updates, it can solve the personality level problems. question.

And hacking into Arasaka Tower and releasing these personalities will cause widespread social and ethical chaos.

After all, once the virtual personality is activated, it will not admit that it is a fake.

And before the cyber tide started, the effect of capturing Arasaka Tower was even greater.

Because once the backup personality disappears, the early cyber waves of ‘memory loss’, ‘personality reset’, ‘neurotheft’, and ‘pheromone virus’ are launched, and if you want to carry out mental repair, you don’t even have the raw materials.

The hacker team that invaded Arasaka Tower also became famous after the successful hacking operation, and they were called "Ocean's Eleven".

But now, the plot has been modified beyond recognition by a certain time traveler.

The captains and deputy captains of the previous "Ocean's Eleven", Holy City Tyria and Bird of Paradise He Guanlan, respectively organized two hacker teams to compete for who could successfully hack in first.

At this time, the buildings around Arasaka Tower have completely lost control, and the people with brain-implanted machines on the ground are frantically attacking the outside of Arasaka Tower.

Many people had weird smiles on their faces, and their hands and feet moved strangely. It looked like they were implanted with some kind of crawling virus.

The outer guards of Arasaka Tower showed no mercy and took action directly, and there was a sudden burst of gunfire.

Wherever there is chaos, there are players. At this time, a large number of players gathered outside Arasaka Tower, ready to invade this personality storage center at any time.

However, this cannot be completely blamed on the players. Who makes this the main mission of the planet? The rewards are so rich that even a certain time traveler is excited.

As the saying goes, they are neither brothers nor human beings. It’s just that their gay friends are too charming.

From a player's perspective, this battle also marked the beginning of a large-scale player war. Players who took the grassroots route, mercenaries, ordinary androids, neuroeditors, hackers, and players who took the organizational route, corporate knights , group employees, and members of the Machinery City, the two sides fought fiercely.

‘Take people in, pull people in, it’s everyone’s responsibility to knock down the companies, join Team Baozi, everyone has a prosthetic eye and a weapon of at least sophisticated level, it’s everyone’s responsibility to knock down the capitalists! 'I love eating steamed buns

‘Damn it, Baozi, you’re such a profiteer, you still have the nerve to say that you should defeat the capitalists, you are the biggest capitalist! ’

‘Yeah, you’d rather give me a prosthetic eye! ’

‘This is a high-end product, a high-end prosthetic eye that can be connected to the space station! ’ The bun is called Qu Dao.

‘ @I love eating steamed buns, sign up for a seat and I’m going to blow your little asshole! ’

‘Is there any high-level mecha pilot? Brothers, join forces, we will be the whole one! ’ Gao Da called people online.

‘Are there corporate knights? Come to me, and I will pull you into the group. I have several strongholds here, all of which are easy to defend, but they must be at least level 30 and above, and have 50% mechanical modifications. A righteous security steward.

‘Do you have any hacker brothers? Add me to the telegram group and let’s hack into Arasaka Tower together! ’Legendary hacker

‘Don’t let him fool you. @Legendary hacker. This guy is a standard corporate employee. If you drag him in, you will be exposed. Several hacker teams have already been fooled and were wiped out by corporate anti-virus software. ’

‘Holy shit, Mission: Impossible has started? ’

‘Fight, fight. ’

‘I have a neuroeditor group of 100 people here. We join the group to check IP addresses. Our goal is to kill one or two high-level NPC hackers. Call me if you want. ’

Players in this period are no longer cannon fodder. They are generally above level 30 and are considered professional thugs in some companies.

Many people have even had the idea of ​​hunting 'high-level NPCs'. After all, 5 million experience is still quite tempting.

"Where did these neuroeditors come from? They don't look like they belong to the same company."

Hiro summoned the firewall of the 'ancient database' to resist the 'anti-virus guards' one after another, and from time to time he followed the network cable to grab the opponent's brain IP, and then 'quickly cracked' 'weak links' and 'spread' the 'malignant infection' Dragons can often kill a small group of online players with just one capture.

To the Bird of Paradise, A Hong is a weakling. To Xiuyue, the third junior brother is a weakling. To Leo, A Hong is a useless apprentice; but to the players, A Hong is a weakling. An out-and-out NPC boss, he has all kinds of hacking software at his fingertips, and the effects of various random combinations of cracking software are astonishing. Often, once he takes action, more than a dozen negative statuses will be superimposed.

For players, who have never seen such a "Murong Fu" level hacker master, who was tortured to the point of death.

And Hiro also enjoyed the treatment of a master for the first time in a long time, and couldn't help but sigh, "What's the use of having a large number of people? On the virtual level, what matters is technique."

"Hey, you're right."

A strange smile suddenly appeared on the face of an electronic guard, and he rushed directly towards the opponent's firewall.

However, a thick 'tail needle' fell from the sky and was inserted directly into the opponent's face. The virtual electronic venom overflowed and melted the opponent directly from the source code layer.

A half-human, half-scorpion creature dozens of meters tall walked out of a data node.

"Sister Du Mei, why did you come out? I can handle it." Ah Hong was stunned for a moment and said.

Du Mei, or rather, Poisonous Scorpion, ignored him. The dozen or so pairs of electronic compound eyes on his face were staring at the scattered software fragments.

Soon, the faces of these fragments all showed weird smiles and merged with each other to form a virtual monster dozens of meters high.

"Mr. Patchwork."

"Poisonous Scorpion, it turns out you are not dead."

"You haven't been transformed by anyone from the Punk family, so how could I die?"

Mr. Patchwork tilted his head, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"That makes sense."

The next moment, the monster opened its mouth wide, and for a moment, countless electronic entities were spat out, flooding towards the two of them like sea water.

At this time, a small group of hundreds of neuroeditors were wailing.

‘Damn it, when did we get implanted with ‘malware’! ’

‘Who is Mr. Patchwork? ’

‘Well, you’re an NPC with no martial ethics, you actually attacked us! ’

‘Fuck, what to do now? ’

‘Otherwise, disconnect from the Internet cafe. ’

…

Of course, not all players are so unlucky. Some high-end players have begun to complete various first kills.

for example--

[The player brought no umbrella on a rainy night, the player Red Flower Demon, and the player Lingling Shui completed the first kill on Arasaka Saburo's son, Arasaka Yorinobu, experience +5 million, automatically extract an enemy skill]

[Players Scissorhands, Player Hacker, Player Firestarter, Player Liu Dehua, and Player Yanzi completed the first kill of 'Adam Hammer', gained experience +5 million, and automatically extracted an enemy skill]

‘Damn it, the players from the Chaos camp are so fierce! ’

‘Brother Umbrella is worthy of being the number one killer. If you don’t take action, you’ll be fine. Once you do, it’s amazing! ’

‘It’s not Brother Umbrella, it’s Umbrella God! ’

‘By the way, who is Lingling Shui? He also seems to be an assassin. ’

‘I don’t know, I don’t know. ’

‘I am the world’s number one commercial assassin, I don’t accept being a solo player! 'Ling Ling Shui

‘Scissorhands, Hacker, Firestarter, do these people seem to be members of the Akudama family? ’

‘That perverted family that specializes in killing players? ’

‘Didn’t you say it was disbanded? ’

'Who knows. ’

…

On the other side, Arasaka Ichiro was rushing back from a business meeting. As soon as he returned to Arasaka Tower, he received news of the death of his clone son and the strongest warrior of the Arasaka Group. His old face turned dark.

"You just give me such good news?"

Arasaka looked old, but with a backhand slap, a subordinate's head was blown off.

"When will the people from Marubeni Technology arrive?"

"According to our contact, it will not exceed 30 minutes at most."

A confidant hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said:

"But the most troublesome thing is the hackers."

"I will handle it myself," Arasaka waved his hand and said to the senior bodyguard behind him: "Go and clean up those bugs!"

These bodyguards bowed slightly and disappeared instantly.

"You bunch of losers, don't follow me!"

Arasaka dismissed the subordinates around him, walked into the elevator alone, and arrived at the bottom floor of the Arasaka Tower. This floor was under the personality storage center. No one except him knew that there was another floor inside.

There is nothing else on this floor, just a huge chassis, about the size of a basketball court, with dense data lines on it.

This seems to be a 'super brain machine' because its style is similar to that of a brain machine, but most brain machines are no bigger than a little finger at most, so this thing is terrifyingly big.

Arasaka roughly grabbed a data cable and inserted it directly into the back of his head. The next moment, Arasaka's signal transmitter started operating.

In addition to being a virtual personality storage center, the Huangban Tower also has a function. It is a super observatory that can even directly communicate with outer space.

Now, Arasaka seems to be communicating with some alien beings.

Arasaka looked angry.

"You promised me!"

"If you don't help, I will report you to the mother city. One of my sons died, and now I can do anything!"

"Okay, okay, that's not what you said at first."

"You guys..."

"You agreed?"

"Since you want it, I'll give it to you."

A cold voice suddenly sounded.

The next moment, Arasaka's eyes bulged, his head exploded instantly, and then, countless transparent tentacles emerged from the gap in his head like sprouts.
