Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 504 - 38: Helium Atom Freezing Hand-held Cannon

In the mechanical transformation room, a large pool of silver material was left on the ground; these were liquefied metal skeletons.

The so-called ’memory metal reshaping’ is not an unlimited resurrection. The more ’reshaping’, the greater the consumption of metal cells, and the more metal cells that cannot be recovered.

Every 30 hours has a limit of 500%, which means Gao Gong has five lives in one day. However, on the current panel, 500% has turned into 100%.

In the dim light, Gao Gong opened the mirror. As flowing water passed and the mist dissipated, a silver-white metal skull appeared in the mirror under the high-definition surface.

The prosthetic eye rotated once; the mechanical body after implantation was almost indistinguishable from the mechanical body before implantation, which was rare.

However, upon closer inspection, one can discover dense cracks in five locations: the upper arm, forearm, fingers, spine, and lower leg.

These cracks seem to exist naturally and did not recover due to the restoration of the memory metal.

So at first glance, it seems like the bones in these areas are slightly darker.

Opening the system panel, the first thing that caught the eye was mechanical energy—

The beginning of the mechanical energy has changed from a 3-digit to a 2-digit, 29,496 points.

Gao Gong recalled, which meant that this construct implant permanently lost 6,000 points of mechanical energy.

’Sss~~~’

Egg pain.

Oh, he doesn’t have balls now.

The mechanical transformation rate increased by 25 points; typically, each construct increases by 5 points. For this Tier 2 advanced prosthetic body, the transformation rate increase is a bit low.

Moreover, it didn’t add any attributes, meaning the transformation rate also increased in vain.

Still egg pain.

There’s a bit of surprise. With the increase in the transformation rate, the body transformation section finally reached 200 points, actually giving Gao Gong a chance for a random skill lottery.

Random skill, which is quite rare.

Gao Gong didn’t hesitate and directly clicked the lottery.

[Lottery successful, you have acquired ’Tier 2 Skill - Helium Atom Freezing Hand-held Cannon Transformation’]

Helium Atom Freezing Hand-held Cannon Transformation, also known as Frozen Energy Cannon, is one of the common cannon transforming abilities in cosmic mechanical bodies. It is worth mentioning that this skill is not primarily focused on lethality but on freezing and retention.

Simply put, this is a range technique.

Helium Atom Freezing Hand-held Cannon Transformation (Tier 2): Through helium atom extraction and cannon-form energy release, create a super freezing field with a temperature of -273 degrees, covering a range that expands by 100 meters per second. All species within this range will suffer effects of life disappearance, frostbite, freezing, and energy damage, with energy consumption of 100 points/second.

Although helium atoms are not some advanced particles, they are much stronger than those messy miscellaneous particles.

More importantly, it’s a cannon!

One of men’s favorite toys, second only to Gao Da, used when men date.

Compared to those chopstick-thick particle energy beams, it’s completely not on the same level.

With Gao Gong’s thought, the next moment, the right hand began to transform, fingers split and retracted to the forearm, while a spiral-shaped energy cannon port appeared in the palm, with radiance lighting up along the spiral pattern.

As the radiance lit up, the forearm began to swell, countless mechanical components entered a charging state, and the diameter of the forearm and upper arm directly increased by half. At the same time, a large circular opening appeared on the shoulder blade, which was the helium atom conversion device.

With the terrifying sound of wind, visible frost appeared from the shoulder blade, directly covering the palm. In the next instant, an energy cannon beam nearly as thick as a thigh flashed quickly.

Although Gao Gong just wanted to test its power and turned off the skill within a second, instantly, nearly a hundred square meters of mechanical transformation room was frozen, cold air billowed, and icicles as thick as arms lined the ceiling, with faint snowflakes in the air.

Gao Gong instinctively shivered, looking down only to see his two mechanical lower legs already covered in ice.

"So fierce? Interesting!"

With a thought, countless metal flowers bloomed on the lower legs, and the ice layer was instantly shattered into powder.

Currently, this randomly gifted skill seems to be of quite good quality.

’Try the ridiculous transformation.’

After spending so much cost, if it doesn’t have significant power, he’ll spew blood, no, machine fluid.

’Let’s try the highest level first.’

He glanced at the five constructs; the highest level was the spine plugin - Möbius Ring, at Tier 2 excellent level.

With a thought, the next moment, each segment of the spine started frantically transforming, Gao Gong’s vision rapidly heightened, and when he reacted, the skull had already touched the ceiling.

So damn long!

For transforming large mechanical bodies, the height of the mechanical transformation room is very high, approximately 50 meters. At this moment, Gao Gong’s head reached the ceiling, while his feet were still standing in place.

"It’s really... deformed."

Gao Gong looked down, only to see his entire body, more precisely, starting from the tail vertebrae, transforming, big rings with small rings, every segment rotating rapidly, and occasionally seeing rib bones as small as little finger joints, like components, stuck on the rings.

Orochimaru?

Not quite, more precisely, it should be a ring-shaped, metal-style mechanical monster.

Though the style looks similar, the kind of twisted, mutated human structure, typical of Japanese manga style.

A thick evil qi was born from Gao Gong’s prosthetic eye, Gao looked around and identified a free attack target.

That was a large mecha, evidently, some military giant collaborating with Balance Technology targeted to plagiarize Du Gao Technology.

Solely judging from the appearance, the technological content of this mecha even surpassed ordinary models from Du Gao Technology.

Gao Gong’s figure flashed silently; in the blink of an eye, one-third of the seven or eight meters high mecha had vanished, be it mechanical plugins, armor, or internal electronic components, all swept clean.

A large amount of metal dust blew with the cold wind, truly clothed in silver.

Gao Gong returned to his original form, patted his body; he was also covered with a significant amount of metal granules.

At the instant of attack, he actually felt like he had grown a hundred mouths all over.

This feeling was extraordinarily peculiar.

Not entirely a biological feeling, nor entirely a mechanical body change, but a feeling of life distortion.

"What a pity..."

Only facing living things can constructs truly unleash their power.

Facing dead objects, not even dealing any damage.

’Speaking of which, after reaching level 30, it’s about time for advancement.’

Seeing that only 5% short of full, which is 125% transformation rate, Gao Gong started pondering whether to advance on the spot.

After all, advancing requires completing a ’profession change task’ at 100%.

And in different places, the profession change task also varies.

What would the main profession be after upgrading the hunter role? Mostly likely not a hunter anymore.

His organism transformation rate also reached 125%. If he tries carbon fusion, it will likely be stimulated.

As Gao Gong was contemplating, an urgent call suddenly rang from the communication device.

"Godfather, Dad, people from headquarters are here! And it’s that crazy woman!"

...

As the door of the mechanical transformation room opened, a gust of cold wind blew out, instantly frost covered Jin Ba’s hair, face, and clothes.

Though her skin was rough and thick, she couldn’t help but shiver.

"An experiment went awry, energy leaked," Gao Gong walked out, calmly said.

Jin Ba paused, not thinking deeply but spoke, "Dad, it’s not good, people from headquarters are here to arrest you!"

"Headquarters? Balance Technology headquarters," Gao Gong frowned slightly, "So, you leaked my information out? You knew about this?"

Jin Ba said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, I knew, but I wanted to recruit you as one of us, so I deliberately didn’t say."

"Then why are you telling me now?"

"Because it’s not our people who came, it’s those lunatics from the ’Weapon Faction,’ they..."

Just as Jin Ba spoke, her features began to soften and turn unfamiliar, a smile curved at the corner of her mouth, as she spoke halfway, a strange face was already before Gao Gong.

"Hello, Mr. G, let me introduce myself, I’m Mengna from headquarters HR."
