Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 483 - 18: Planet Species Suppression

Paradise Bird, no, Strelitzia, quickly departed. She had a lot to do, and as she left, she also took Ahong with her.

The ’Large Oceanic Beast Engineering’ of Keramos and the Brain-in-a-Vat continued without a hitch, and without a doubt, these marine radiation beasts would become a thorn in the side of the Knight Order.

In the future, a war between the two sides is inevitable.

In the process of ’incubation,’ the mixed-blood sea people will play a crucial role. As the Divine Favored of ’Keramos,’ the representative of the Hunter Camp, the player Trilobite rose to the top, becoming a leader of the mixed-blood sea people, with a bunch of minions under him.

If he managed well, he might even become the first alliance leader with a player identity.

As for the side effect, well, Trilobite was heartbroken.

The mixed-blood girl got engaged to the Charjin Sea King Beast, that tribal strong with a template.

It was Trilobite who initiated the breakup.

The reason was simple: Ocean people are a matriarchal tribal society. That means here, every woman is a Sea King, and a legally permitted one at that. A female ocean person can have about 5 to 10 male partners.

When Trilobite heard about this ancestral custom, his eyes were wide open in shock, and after holding back for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out one sentence.

"I thought you were my first love, but you thought I was a spare tire!?"

And so, they broke up peacefully.

This is also why romantic relationships between different intelligent species in the universe often break down easily.

It’s like opening a blind box; no one knows what kind of mating rules other species have evolved.

...

Meanwhile, Gao Gong continued his ’Pan-Asian Region’ travel plan.

This trip had three objectives—

The first goal was the second link of the ’Heaven-Level’ mission: ’Stronghold Elimination.’

The second goal was to complete the triggered task: the Ancient Creature Requiem Ceremony.

The third objective was to cause trouble under the guise of saving players in various Cyber Test Fields.

The third was the main focus!

In the Cyber Test Field, there are actually many high-level blueprints, weapons, and even knowledge, which produce far beyond a typical Level 2 Civilization.

Even in terms of sheer quantity, some Level 3 Civilizations can’t compare.

Gao Gong intended to gather all the knowledge of an entire ’civilization’ before leaving this planet.

As of now, everything was progressing smoothly.

In the deep sea, Gao Gong swam rapidly, having canceled the ’Carbon-Based Fluid Mode’ this time. The pressure of the deep sea pressed from every part of his body, making him feel like he was soaked in sticky glue. Each move required several times, even ten times the energy.

However, Gao Gong’s speed did not slow down much. Every move, every energy burst seemed millimeter-precise, comparable to species that have lived in the deep sea for decades.

This was naturally thanks to the ’Biological Computer.’

Numerous holographic screens appeared in the Brain Disc, capturing Gao Gong from various angles, with data flashing wildly on the screens.

Data on bone movements, skin transformations, secretion of body chemicals, respiratory system adjustments...

This data refreshed at a crazy speed.

The Biological Computer, a Tier 1 Peak technology.

And a supercomputer is also a Tier 1 Peak technology.

Their computational power is equal.

This means in body calculations, Gao Gong was effectively blessed with the support of a supercomputer.

On the main screen, there were all sorts of icons, some for skills, some for the human body systems.

At this moment, a new icon was in the process of being generated.

Likewise, a new talent was refreshed on the system panel.

[You have comprehended the talent ’Deep Sea Wanderer’]

Deep Sea Wanderer: In a high-pressure aquatic survival environment, you can freely act, fight, and even consume and digest.

This is one of the super abilities of the Biological Computer—customized talents!

"I recall that sharks, as deep-sea fish, excrete urine through their skin, right? This talent feels kind of disgusting."

Fortunately, Gao Gong had little interest in eating sashimi, so he naturally wouldn’t use it.

After refreshing this ’talent,’ the computational power of the Biological Computer could then be diverted to another area.

Gao Gong narrowed his eyes, focusing on a B-level Radiation Beast not far away.

It was quite coincidental; it was a shark-type radiation beast, about forty meters long, with skin like searing red iron. Its three-meter-long teeth lit up with radiance now and then, indicating it could emit particle energy, with damage exceeding ten thousand.

Gao Gong also felt the power of nuclear radiation from it.

Nuclear Radiation Shark?

Countless screens switched to focus on this Nuclear Radiation Shark, and data flowed out like a stream.

Without any hesitation, Gao Gong headed straight for it.

Compared to radiation beasts on land, those in the deep sea have radiation energy that is generally 2-3 times stronger. This shark’s radiation energy was about 500,000, already half of an ordinary A-level Radiation Beast.

As it discovered Gao Gong, this super shark visibly heated up, the sea water around it turned dark, as thick radiation beams instantly covered the surroundings.

Particle beams shot out from its skin.

Simultaneously, its skin began to glow wildly, intensely brilliant radiance starting to emerge from its body surface.

This shark had actually mastered the means of ’nuclear explosion’!

So it wasn’t called Nuclear Radiation Shark after all, but rather a Nuclear Explosion Shark.

What Gao Gong didn’t know was that in this sea area, the ’Nuclear Explosion Shark’ is a standard regional boss. Its buggy-level nuclear explosion power even forced away several intending A-level Beast Kings.

Almost as if he had foreseen it, Gao Gong continued to evade the energy cannon attacks of the opponent. At around a thousand meters from each other, Gao Gong’s eyes narrowed, and the speed of Level 3 Sonic Boom exploded.

Although it could be faster, this was calculated to be the most appropriate speed.

Gao Gong’s five fingers curled slightly, his entire body agilely wandering in the water, seemingly without encountering any resistance, while every change of angle always managed to avoid the opponent’s attack and perception perfectly.

As the opponent’s ’nuclear explosion’ was about to erupt, Gao Gong’s body suddenly twisted like a fish swimming to the opponent’s gill area. His palm fiercely thrust in, embedding to the hilt, it was the brightest spot on the opponent’s skin.

Human and shark passed by each other.

As Gao Gong swung away thousands of meters with the momentum, the terrifying explosion sound just rang out.

A micro-mushroom cloud erupted from behind him.

[You dealt 3000 points of damage to the ’Nuclear Explosion Shark’]

[You dealt a critical strike to the ’Nuclear Explosion Shark’]

[You triggered an instant death effect]

[You killed the ’Nuclear Explosion Shark,’ experience +50,000, Specialization Points +1, Skill Points +3]

[You obtained a temporary status, ’Nuclear Explosion Shark Killer,’ intimidation against this species +10%, attack bonus +10%, duration: 10 minutes]

Killing a B-level Radiation Beast is quite normal.

But what was unusual was that Gao Gong did not use a single skill during the entire process, executing a deadly basic attack, showing off skills that made people’s scalps tingle!

It turned out that even before Gao Gong took action, the ’combat simulation’ of the Biological Computer had already simulated data elements like water resistance, light, and radiation energy.

At this moment, in the Brain Disc’s ’holographic screen,’ this enormous Nuclear Explosion Shark had already been ’deconstructed’ into countless segments, each organ and system thoroughly analyzed.

Based on this, analyses of the opponent’s hunting methods, including attack choices, attack direction, close-range vs. long-range, and whether it would ’call for help,’ were continuously conducted. In these ’data analyses,’ the opponent choosing ’nuclear explosion’ accounted for 74.8% of the likelihood.

Therefore, all of Gao Gong’s actions, including movement routes, attack angles, and attack methods, were predetermined to preemptively ’trigger the nuclear explosion.’

Before making a move, the ’simulated scene’ had already shown the result.

The result was an instant kill!

...

In this sea area, Gao Gong continued to execute the Nuclear Explosion Sharks like a seasoned butcher, with explosions intermittently erupting from the seabed.

Until the screen showed the ’Nuclear Explosion Shark Killer’ permanent status, making intimidation and attack bonuses both 45%, did Gao Gong finally take a break.

Scanning over, the previously fierce-looking sharks now tucked their tails and disappeared into the darkness—if they had tails, that is.

Hunting Biome (Professional Skill): Each time you kill a type of creature, you gain a temporary status. When you kill a sufficient number of that same creature, the temporary status will transform into a permanent one.

Simultaneously, the panel showed, species oppression +1

Planet Species Suppression (Professional Talent): The biological bloodlines you implant, the advanced species you slay, all cause you to exert species oppression. Try to collect these oppressions and convert them into a more powerful Biological Domain.

With the dual blessings of the Biological Computer and professional skills, the entire ocean would become Gao’s hunting paradise.
