Zou Ming entered Tiger Level and possessed numerous SSR modules, yet he had no concept of it whatsoever.

Instead, he cried miserably, "Can't you stop making me kill people? I... I have a red name too now."

Whoosh, biological energy flashed beside his head, forming a substitute, two meters tall, with flying hair—it was Gao Xin.

This was Gao Xin's biological energy, and the substitute formed was also Gao Xin, truly becoming his own substitute.

Thus, without controlling Zou Ming, he appeared outside.

Microscopic at the molecular level, making him look lifelike, Gao Xin also drew a wisp of Life Mist from the tiny throne, replacing his own organs.

At this moment, he was virtually indistinguishable from a real human body.

If one had to say, it was that there were no genes, just a bionic body.

When blown up, it disperses without leaving any substance.

"You've come out... are you going to leave?" Zou Ming asked with joy.

Gao Xin shook his head, telling him this was just a substitute.

The real him was still in his head.

Zou Ming was very disappointed, which amused Gao Xin; this guy completely didn't know the magnitude of the opportunity.

On the other side, because Gao Xin healed Xiao Ye, the old fellow was overjoyed.

He was very aware of the magnitude of the opportunity, frequently thanking Gao Xin.

However, Xiao Ye stared at her smooth legs in a daze, unable to get up for a while, and exclaimed, "I... I'm not a Cyborg anymore, and I can't walk again."

The old fellow nervously rubbed his hands, saying, "You've not used your legs to walk in a long time, you'll adapt soon."

He helped his daughter stand up, but Xiao Ye still couldn't stand steady.

Gao Xin frowned, "That's not right, there's no need to adapt."

"You... you haven't forgotten how to walk, have you?"

Xiao Ye raised her head, "Walking requires my control, which is too inconvenient."

"Huh?" Gao Xin was stunned.

"Are you speaking human language?"

Xiao Ye blinked, "If disabled, I just swap for prosthetics. Controlled by a computer, I have one thought, and it walks by itself, capable of running and jumping."

"It doesn't feel pain nor fatigue, so good."

"Good?" Gao Xin squatted down, fingers picking up the prosthetic that had melted in the previous battle's heat wave, everything but the metal frame was plastic filling.

Xiao Ye nodded, "The doctor said a carbon-based shell is just a cocoon for the soul."

"Is it? Then even the cocoon has to be swapped for plastic!" Gao Xin sneered, rubbing the plastic that had burned to tar, black residue scattering.

Xiao Ye was stupefied, then said, "That's... that's because I'm poor."

"If I had a hundred thousand credit points, I could buy better bionic prosthetics."

Gao Xin raised an eyebrow, "Do you have a hundred thousand credit points?"

"..." Xiao Ye was at a loss for words.

Citizens get three thousand credit points a month, and commoners get one thousand a month. Even with previous citizenship, she would need to save for three years without eating or drinking, which she couldn't do, realistically needing over ten years.

Gao Xin continued, "Even if you have that much money, you're pursuing just a bionic body..."

"Now you have genuine legs, so why pursue 'bionic' ones?"

"Of course, if you don't want them, I can chop them off again."

Xiao Ye was dumbfounded.

The old fellow hurriedly said, "This young one doesn't know better, she's really been brainwashed by the mechanical ascension faction that's trending online, don't take offense."

Gao Xin chuckled lightly, naturally not upset with her.

The old fellow hugged Xiao Ye's shoulders, helping her walk and adapt, saying, "Silly child, only what you can control yourself is truly yours; otherwise, it's just something others put on you."

Gao Xin clapped his hands, "Well said."

He truly appreciated this old fellow; maybe it was common on Crime Prison Island, but maintaining such awareness in the outside society was rare.

The old fellow sighed, "After this incident, I've seen things clearly; a crowd is crowded at the city edge, not daring to take a step out."

"It's not just because they fear being downgraded to commoners, but their bodies or bionic organs, will lose power once they leave the city..."

"In the past two years, Cyborgs have become increasingly numerous."

Gao Xin nodded, having been an ordinary person outside a year ago, naturally aware of these things.

Due to the early years of the establishment of the Global Government, rebels were active, and chaos and fighting were everywhere.

So many people became disabled and later got prosthetics.

Where one's seat determines the mind, naturally forming mechanical ascension trends, some even willingly discarded their flesh bodies, voluntarily swapping for prosthetics.

Additionally, Radiation being unfavorable for societal growth, wanting greater strength, to run faster, see farther, have more energy, becoming a Cyborg is almost the only path.

Hence, the number of Cyborgs has been increasingly growing, continually exploding.

Yet Gao Xin did not know that Cyborgs would lose power upon leaving the city.

And surprisingly, they couldn't walk, controlled by computers, that could mean, if desired, giant enterprises could control these Cyborgs at any time?

"How many Cyborgs are there now?" Gao Xin asked.

The old fellow shook his head, not very clear either.

It was Xiao Ye who counted familiarly, "The number of Cyborgs this month has reached 4.2 billion, accounting for 71% of the total population."

"This..." Gao Xin was startled, he had heard it exceeded fifty percent before coming to the island.

Unexpectedly, it reached seventy percent in just a year.

"4.2 billion Cyborgs... and I remember there are 1 billion Radiation, totaling 5.2 billion, so only 800 million ordinary humans remain?"

Zou Ming finally spoke, "Radiation far exceeds 1 billion now, unknowingly, people like me 'glass people' have become rare species."
