Inside a military transport aircraft, Xiao Huang cheerfully wrapped his arm around Gao Gong's shoulder, laughing out loud: "Come on, don't be shy, have fun, after all, we have plenty of time."

Inside the cabin, steel pipes and a group of bionic beauties dressed as flight attendants swayed to the low jazz music, their electric eyes flashing. Their graceful figures resembled large white pythons, and as if almost an illusion, their clothes twisted and seemed to lessen.

Gao Gong observed with a professional eye: "These must be S-type service robots. Such vibrant dancing indicates short-term muscle memory was injected, otherwise, they wouldn't be so agile. And these eyes, let me check if they're bionic simulations or neural circuit modifications. Oh, it's neural circuit modification. This neural circuit probably belongs to some 'star with the most charming smile.' Did you guys pay for her copyright?"

Xiao Huang's expression gradually became stiff.

Then Gao Gong, from a professional perspective, evaluated the flight attendant robots' skin, hands, feet, and chest, analyzing the material, practical functions, and potential expansiveness.

If there were levels of lecherousness, Gao Gong would undoubtedly be the ceiling. He had penetrated from facial features, chest, and legs into the microscopic level.

Power consumption, materials, internal structure, tactile feedback—under Gao Gong's words, these service robots' various hidden shortcomings were pointed out one by one. Especially when Xiao Huang learned that to emphasize the robots' S-shaped figure, the internal design was poorly executed, with a 14% chance of the third limb breaking after long-term use; even his wine lost its appeal.

Only after all the robots had been sent away did Xiao Huang, somewhat impressed, say, "Brother Gao, you know so much. How do you know all this?"

Gao Gong gave a thumbs up, revealing his white teeth in a smile, "There's nothing else, just practice makes perfect."

Back in the day, Mr. G's Maid Corps, which roamed the universe, was personally crafted by him. Their combat strength successfully refuted the rumors that virtual civilizations were powerless.

Xiao Huang prostrated himself in admiration.

Since the flight attendant robots weren't fun, Xiao Huang didn't treat Gao Gong as an outsider. He put on a helmet and dove into a virtual machine to sculpt the face of a girl.

Sure enough, the two-dimensional world is the ultimate destination.

Gao Gong walked to the window, observing as the aircraft gradually passed through the atmosphere. From above, the blue planet came into view. Due to the war, the seven main continents of the Civilization Era were penetrated by space-based weapons, leaving small fragmented pieces scattered across the planet.

After eliminating the concept of nations, to better govern, the Mother City divided the entire planet into 24 districts.

The Guanzhong Plate, where Gao Gong was currently located, was the third plate of the Ninth District.

Within this district, there are five plates the size of island countries, with the Guanzhong Plate being the third plate.

"Tsk tsk, indeed a carefree life."

Retracting his gaze, Gao Gong happily opened the task panel. After the transformation into a 'Symbiote,' most of his human body system returned to normal, meaning the rewards he earned from the Beast Tide could finally be used.

"Let me see, nearly two million experience, not sure how to spend it."

With a thought, he invested 150,000 experience, maxing out No. 3 Factory Intermediate Worker, Senior Prosthetic Doctor, and Biologist.

Among them, No. 3 Factory Intermediate Worker is a 3rd Transformation Profession (Level 15), while the latter two are Second-Transformation Professions (Level 10).

Maxing out three professions brought Gao Gong a total of 5 points in Power, 7 points in Perception, and 4 points in Intelligence.

[Your Blood Volume +60 points, currently at 1537 points]

[Your Consciousness +14 points, currently at 143 points]

[Your Physical Strength +32 points, currently at 600 points]

At the same time, the transformation tasks for the three professions were all triggered.

[Transformation Task: Advanced Modification]

Task Contents:

1: Trade/plunder/steal ten exclusive modification blueprints for the Prosthetic Doctor

2: Perform a Level 2 Mechanical Civilization modification on yourself (armament/AI/energy)

3: Conduct a large-scale prosthetic experiment

[Transformation Task: Genetic Hybrid]

Task Contents:

1: Own a gene preservation library of your own

2: Decode five genetic hybrids

3: Conduct a large-scale biological experiment

'Uh——'

Gao Gong could be certain that, at least in the low-level map of the Iron Sand Desert, it would be very difficult to complete these two profession transformations. Ten exclusive blueprints and the number of prosthetic doctors in this Radiation Zone was not even ten.

As for the Genetic Hybrid, it was a major project for biological companies.

Among these, only the possibility of conducting two large-scale experiments seemed achievable, but actually doing it would be difficult.

NPCs are not players; NPCs have only one life, and Gao Gong did not wish to become that villain boss who forces everyone to rebel.

Undoubtedly, he needs to focus on the players.

Nevertheless, the 3rd transformation of the factory profession gave Gao Gong hope for completion.

[Transformation Task: Machine Ecosystem]

Task Contents:

A machine jungle that understands your thoughts and feelings, an intimate, super-humanized machine experience maximizing interaction between humans and machines.

Is it the laboratory's goal, the enterprise's choice, or perhaps a true unmanned factory?

Below the task content, there's no option for whether it's completed, only a completion rate.

More than 60% is a success; failing is below this.

Indeed it's a Riddler task.

Generally, the higher the level of a secondary profession, the higher the probability of getting a Riddler task.

These tasks don't have a specific target but give you enough freedom.

For instance, 'Machine Ecosystem': you can purchase or build a large unmanned factory, or enter a high-tech physical industry, or occupy an Advanced AI's data processing center to have tens of thousands of processors serve you.

In short, you can do anything related to 'Machine Ecosystem', but whether you can pass it is not for you to decide.

In the previous life, it was generally impossible for a single player to complete this with their own power; even if they gathered a large group of people to do it, the probability of failure was still high.

The end of a secondary profession is a 'Professional Knowledge Chain'. If this were easy to obtain, many players wouldn't struggle to build a faction.

However, for Gao Gong, this is the only task that might be completed on this map.

The reason is simple: New Oasis is a pure white paper, and the exclusive buildings of the 'Mechanical Hunter' faction, as well as the production and modification of various Hunter Modules, belong to a 'Machine Ecosystem'.

Most importantly, he doesn't even need to do it himself; as long as he sucks up to Director Du, the rich lady with factories will help him solve all the problems.

Perfect!

The main profession can't be upgraded for now because the modifications haven't caught up.

What's left are Skill Points, Specialization Points, and Lottery Opportunities.

Gao Gong thought for a while and first upgraded 'Precise Shooting' to lv10, then invested a Specialization Point.

Finally, the options for Elite-level 'Shooting' started appearing.

[You've upgraded 'Precise Shooting' to lv10]

[Precise Shooting upgraded to lv10max, entering skill advancement state. Please choose your Expert Skill—Advanced Gun Combat Skill, Medium Energy Weapon Mastery, Hacker Gunman]

Among them, Advanced Gun Combat Skill is a necessary pick for close-range shooters, with quite terrifying outburst power.

Energy Weapon Mastery is the craft of playing with Energy Weapons; when upgraded to master-level, it can fire the Italian Cannon, oh no, the Italian Energy Cannon.

As for Hacker Gunman, it's not aimed at normal people but at cyber hackers, AIs, bionic viruses, and all sorts of quirky lifeforms in the Cyber Network.

Gao Gong hesitated between the second and third options and ultimately chose 'Hacker Gunman'.

The reason is simple: in a planet-level civilization, there aren't many powerful energy weapons to play with; even the 'Shuttle-shaped Mayfly Gun' only has a limited duration of 100 hours.

And his biggest shortfall is in the network realm.

[You selected Expert Skill: Hacker Gunman]

Hacker Gunman: The ranger in the Cyber Network, the assassin in the city of information, the enemy of the Matrix

Once the skill reaches the 'Expert' level, the consumption of Experience is no longer in tens of thousands but in 50,000 at a time.

However, generally, by this level, players no longer use Experience Value to upgrade skills but instead look everywhere for hidden tasks to farm Skill Points.

Coincidentally, Gao Gong has a whopping 11 Skill Points, just enough for 'Hacker Gunman' upgrades.

At lv10, the Hacker Gunman comes with four additional states.

Data Brain: Following the flow of Sensory Signal, you can perceive targets at the data level.

Hacker's Gun: A weapon that can attack AI, bionic viruses, and system-level entities.

Programming Bullet: You can intercept a segment of programming language and load it into your magazine, with power depending on programming proficiency.

Virus Sniper Bullet: You can embed a Data Virus into a Sniper Bullet and shoot it into specific systems.

A mystical feeling arises in the brain, akin to a bald-level programmer, with various codes replacing hair roots and flashing continuously in the cerebral cortex.

In Gao Gong's eyes, the cabin, windows, cockpit occasionally 'disappear', replaced by a tremendous amount of green data: data of flight, pipelines, engines, and various function modules.

He turned his head to Xiao Huang, who turned into a data person, data of various body parts emerging, especially on the virtual machine where data fluctuated intensely.

Gao Gong spread his palm, and the next instant, numerous digital symbols emerged from his palm, finally coalescing into a black-and-white handgun. The body of the gun was white, while the handle was black, resembling a 'Desert Eagle'.

Gao Gong looked at this 'Hacker's Gun' in his hand and without hesitation aimed it at the opponent's head.

At this time, Xiao Huang was grotesquely laughing at the hard-to-create long black straight hair, disdainful eyes, a small black mole under the right eye, a high nose bridge, and a few thin clothes on the body.

'Hehe, brother will help you undress, hehe.'

The next moment, the long black straight head exploded on the spot, with blood splattering everywhere, the mangled jaw shooting directly at Xiao Huang.

Heaven and Earth.

'Oh my!'

Being hit so close, Xiao Huang's eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.

Gao Gong nodded, feeling quite satisfied with the effect of the Hacker's Gun.
