Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 543 - 76: User Data Missing

The Trinary Corps, or the Gox Clan, this virus legion embedded with spider and shark emblems, instantly overturned the ’Rich Lady Love Binding Machine’.

After ’Do Bionic Men Dream of Electric Sheep?’, another philosophical question arose.

That is, can electronic viruses kill electronic viruses?

The answer is yes.

These ’family viruses’ possess a symbiotic trait, which allows them to integrate virus codes into one, transforming them into a viral domain, and under this domain, no matter what kind of virus it is, it will be ’crawled’ clean.

This is not the capability of electronic viruses, but the capability of the ’search engine’.

The sound of artillery gradually ceased, leaving remnants and debris everywhere, corpses of beautiful young men scattered about, a true purgatory for mature women.

Gox, with increasing tattoos, stepped over a half-corpse whose face suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a flattering smile:

"Big Sister, long time no see."

The Big Sister was very angry, even spat at the other party.

Gao Gong licked his lips, the spit of a beautiful girl, strawberry flavored.

"Big Sister Gox, I came specifically to see you."

"I didn’t expect that after so many days, Big Sister, your aura has become even more dominant."

"Particularly dashing, I like it."

As Gox passed by, smiling faces appeared atop the corpse, fully proving that in the aspect of shamelessness, Mr. G is invincible.

An almost ten-meter-high giant squatted down, extended a thick finger, and poked Gao Gong’s face, somewhat schadenfreude:

"Boss G, we meet again."

Looking at the face covered by black code flux, with that advanced virus’s unique dangerous aura, Gao Gong exclaimed: "Big Black, how did you evolve so fast?"

"Naturally, ’Eliza’ replaced my basic code, now I am not just a ’bug’, but also the strongest ’destructive program virus’."

To prove his strength, the giant’s fist, as thick as a water tank, slammed to the ground. In the next moment, the surrounding ’binding machine’ corpses swelled up abruptly, then exploded, spewing forth torrents of gibberish, like mines detonating.

"Heavily occupying system resources, impressive, kid!"

As part of the ’corpse’, Gao Gong could clearly feel that the opponent’s move would be unstoppable by an ordinary server. After casting a skill, he found that the opponent had already reached ’level 49’, just one level short of the ’binding machine’.

This upgrade speed is something even Gao Gong, a ’transmigrator’, could not help but feel inferior. Of course, Gao Gong could be 100% sure, without ’Eliza’, that big data monster powering up the opponent with experience, the opponent couldn’t have surged so fiercely.

...

The reason Gao knew the location of Database 0 was precisely by consulting this ’Miss Cyberpedia’.

And ’Google’ also revealed a piece of news to him, that Gox was closing off for training in the virus library.

This was somewhat beyond Gao Gong’s expectations.

Gao Yuanyuan and Gox are different personalities of the same person, one in reality, one in the network.

Especially when Gao Yuanyuan became a ’virtual life’, theoretically, as long as she wanted, she could integrate the two personalities.

But for some reason, she didn’t do it.

Part of this might be because Gao Yuanyuan had other ideas, another reason perhaps lay with ’Eliza’.

Gao Gong scrutinized the opponent for a while, musing, "This basic code on you is quite advanced."

With Mr. G’s insight, he could naturally see that the opponent had completely upgraded, the code level on him was standard Tier 3. Although not comparable to the ’Starry Sky Cloud Code’, it was top code level on this planet, even better than the ’Flame Code’ by a level.

More importantly, Gao Gong felt a trace of the Mother City’s aura in the opponent.

’Trinary Corps, 0, 1, 2, Deep Net, Cybertron, Fortress.’

Big Black also didn’t expect the opponent to see through the essence of their group with a glance. He hurriedly laughed it off, changing the topic, "The Big Sister is quite angry, you better find a way to pacify her."

Trinary codes, undoubtedly related to the Mother City, with Eliza’s ’Cyber Engine’ Authority, is the most accessible to obtain some confidential information.

The opponent is developing countermeasures against the Mother City!

Gao Gong is quite sure of his idea.

Meanwhile, the now stronger Gox was rampaging on the battlefield, and every time she killed a ’binding machine’, one of her tattoos would light up. As Eliza’s most favored daughter, the Authority she possessed was stronger, at this moment, she was leveraging the power of the ’search engine’ to absorb the virus traits of the ’binding machines’.

The battle ended quickly, with the last ten ’Rich Lady Love Binding Machines’ subdued by other viruses, all pressed together, kneeling on the ground.

Gox’s eyes flashed with excitement as he casually grabbed an assault rifle and fired at close range. The rapid gunfire was accompanied by flying data fragments, and the firelight flickered incessantly. When he shot the eighth ’Binding Machine,’ the virus couldn’t hold back any longer and shouted:

"If you kill me, someone will accompany me to the grave."

"Oh, really?" On a corpse, ’Gao Gong’ opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "When you were lagging, did you notice anything? A bug appeared on your code layer."

"Oh, even an electronic virus wouldn’t realize there’s a problem if the bug doesn’t interfere with its operation. By the way, this bug on you is called ’User Data Loss.’

Watching the other party’s eyes suddenly widen, Gao Gong displayed a sarcastic smile.

"Now, do you know what’s missing?"

As Gao Gong spoke, more and more data streams began to converge among the dismembered remains, and a data humanoid began to piece together. These user data, which ’disappeared’ during the virus battle, were precisely Gao’s entity.

And when the ’Rich Lady Love Prototype’ facial features were fully restored, Gao Gong, without a second word, thrust both hands forcefully into the opponent’s forehead.

A bizarre scream erupted from the opponent’s mouth, ears, and eyes.

With Gao Gong’s veteran-level micro-control, he had already created a targeted ’Antivirus Program’ upon entering the opponent’s body.

If it were in a normal state, a Level 50 virus wouldn’t be killed even with an ’Antivirus Program,’ as the level difference is clear.

But now it’s different; the ’Binding Machine’ virus had only a sliver of life left.

Sure enough, almost simultaneously with Gao Gong’s action, the system prompt sounded.

[You killed the Binding Machine virus ’Binder,’ Experience +500,000, Hacker Reputation +4,000, Specialization Points +10, Random + Three Tier 2 Hacker Blueprints]

Hacker blueprints? And Tier 2 at that, that’s quite rare.

Gao Gong mentally quipped but didn’t stop his hands. Shortly after, the dead ’Binding Machine Virus’ wasn’t dissipating but instead became a slightly black ’Crystal Ball.’

This level of virus would be terrifying under the operation of a top hacker.

Once done, Gao Gong turned around, revealing a mega-simp-like smile.

"Big sister~~ I’m here~~~"

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Dida, operating the ’Mr. G’ hardware, wasn’t idle either. Utilizing the hardware’s power, she pushed through the Antivirus Guardians of the ’Digital Space’ and into the deepest part of the Earth Crust Engine.

At that moment, the already primitively digitized ’Shell’ also displayed its terrifying power. Construction: Scythe Dance, Construction: Moon Defect, Construction: Finger Nuo Dance, Construction: Möbius Ring... these deadly weapons to Carbon-Based Species, after digital transformation, equally became lethal weapons for Digital Life.

Digital fragments danced wildly, sometimes forming spinning scythes, sometimes retracting into the spine, and then forming sharp, endless rings, shredding the surrounding 10*10 meters of Digital Guardians to pieces.

Operating this body, Dida inexplicably felt like a ’top Soldier King returning to the city, challenging a hundred hooligans alone.’

It’s just those occasional pop-up windows that were a bit annoying.

’How many dodgy dangerous sites has this guy browsed to have so many pop-ups!’

Dida couldn’t help but complain, as nearly every few minutes she operated, a pop-up flashed across her visual signal, either ’Other Shore of Freedom Casino’ or ’Random Online Dating,’ with an occasional ’Advert for Reproductive Modification.’

This made her highly suspect that Mr. G was a deeply hidden old simp.

Fortunately, amidst the interference of pop-up ads, she finally reached her destination—the most important digital center at the deepest point of the second layer of Digital Space, also within the Earth Crust Engine.

With a ’bang,’ the metallic door twisted half open and half disintegrated into primitive green digits.

Dida took a deep breath; she had finally arrived.

...

Meanwhile, in Database 0, the remnants of the battlefield had been completely consumed by passing worm viruses.

The ’big guys’ still lingering there regretted the Gox Clan’s reckless actions but gave each other knowing glances, cautiously bypassing the ’Colorless Fire’ and proceeding towards the virus archive exit.

Database 0 is both a breeding ground and a cage.

Now, these famous viruses in Cyber Space, equipped with their honed skills, are ready to break free from their cage.

At the same time, on the sealed ’Volcano,’ at the weakest part of the seal, which had just been extracted by Gao from the ’High-tier Civilization Mist,’ a wisp of faint flame burned through the thin veil and seeped out.

It floated to the previous battlefield, and influenced by the blaze, many discarded data were attracted over.

Soon, a Rich Lady Love Prototype appeared, with visible residue on the bones, shriveled skin, protruding cheekbones, and dim old eyes.

This was a ’Rich Lady Love Prototype,’ aged 50 years older.
