Base No. 1, Gao Gong's mechanic workshop is now empty, most of the mecha have been redeployed to the front line, ready for combat testing.

Gao Gong stood naked, with a dozen fine lines drawn across his body, marking the directions of the surgical cuts.

In front of the operating table, three items were set up again: one was a V-Type Carbon Atom Reactor recharged with energy, the second was a pile of items resembling metal fruit cores, and the third was a metal banner.

The fruit core is the 'Devil's Jet Three-Phase Type', and the metal banner is the 'Banner of Steel'.

Both are Level 5 blueprints, representing the manufacturing limits of a Level 1 civilization.

The 'Devil Jet' is the upgraded version of the 'Reproductive Organ Sprayer', using a unique 'Three-phase Rotating Structure'. Although it's much smaller than a single sprayer, its efficiency is 150% that of a normal sprayer due to the three-phase rotation.

As for the 'Banner of Steel', it uses a jellyfish alloy treasured by the Security Corps. This alloy is only produced by mechanical beasts of high-level marine species. The alloy has an astounding fusion rate, and the surface of the banner is embedded with a 'Neural Excitation Circuit', which comes with a 'War Will', covering an area of 500*500 meters.

Besides, it is also a powerful mechanical gun.

Gao Gong referred to the shape of the 'Spine Gun' and incorporated some materials from the 'Iron-Backed Flying Dragon', thereby matching better with himself, who had fused the cells of the 'Iron-Backed Flying Dragon', naturally bringing the state of 'Human-Gun Unity'.

The crafting of these two mechanical blueprints consumed plenty of the Security Corps' treasures. Thankfully, his status as a 'live-in son-in-law' excused such vast resource consumption; otherwise, it would have inevitably aroused suspicion.

"Old man, are you really going to let me do this?" The punk girl was visibly tense.

"What's the matter? Haven't you done transformation surgery before? What are you so nervous about?"

"Nonsense, those were just small surgeries, like changing a finger or fixing a mechanical arm. Now we're playing big suddenly, I'm feeling overwhelmed."

Gao Gong rolled his eyes, knowing this kid couldn't hold up. With a thought, 'Biological Separation' ignited, spewing out numerous nerve bundles and flesh from his body until a humanoid body with two eyeballs hanging appeared: scarlet muscle chunks bulging and contracting, the wide eyes staring fixedly at the counterpart, and the scarlet mouth opening with countless blood threads within, devoid of teeth.

"I'll watch you do it, surely there's no issue now, right?"

Helli's legs trembled, her face turning pale: "Old man, I need to pee."

"No way! If you pee during surgery, who knows if you'll wash your hands."

"Oh."

After the initial shock, Helli calmed down. After all, having someone directing and operating are completely different matters.

To ease her mindset, Gao Gong engaged in sporadic conversation with her.

"Did you get another tattoo?"

Helli raised her shoulder, revealing a 'Little Crimson Empress' tattoo, looking somewhat proud.

"How about it? Does it look similar? This was patterned after your daughter."

Gao Gong rolled his eyes, spinning his eyeball 360 degrees.

The punk girl, apart from being a mechanical enthusiast, is also a tattoo lover, with at least five or six visible tattoos across her body: heavy machine gun, skull, metallic thorns, a row of strange ancient text.

This kid seems to be just 17, right? You're not even an adult and dare to get tattoos, what more when you're grown up, would not it be smoking, drinking, and perming!

Your dad before leaving, repeatedly cautioned you not to go astray.

Oh, based on the moral standards of the Radiation Zone, going astray means drug abuse or insane body modification; tattoos are still considered a normal hobby.

Under Gao Gong's directions, the punk girl quickly stabilized. Gao Gong prompted her attributes with a poke.

Name: Helli Wilder

Race: Primordial People

Life Value: 80/80

Physical Strength Value: 90/90

Mechanical Energy: 73

Personal Attributes: Power 7, Agility 5, Endurance 4, Intellect 5, Perception 14, Personality 12

Skills: Intermediate Mechanical Maintenance lv5, Intermediate Firearms Repair lv6, Human Body Transformation Surgery lv5, Mechanical Body Transformation lv4 (Advanced)

Talent: Mechanical Girl, Basic Mechanism Sense, Dexterous

The other attributes are not worth noting; truly important are the three talents in the mechanical system, which were the main reason Gao Gong took her as a disciple.

'Mechanical Girl' and 'Dexterous' were innate to Helli, whereas 'Basic Mechanism Sense' was something Gao Gong concocted one day, injecting diluted Royal Blood into her to observe any reaction.

The result was unexpectedly smooth, after a high fever episode, the punk girl successfully awakened 'Mechanism Sense', much faster than Gao Gong by countless times.

Indicating that in the 'Mechanical System' field, she possesses talents far surpassing those of Gao Gong.

Gao Gong is not envious, given that his original 'Double Flower Red Staff' attributes were quite decent, having provided him a host of effective combat talents.

The crucial part is three talents, forming the prerequisites for becoming a master, and Gao Gong is currently training her towards this direction.

The implantation of the 'Devil Jet' swiftly succeeded.

On Gao Gong's 'body', there appeared rows of coin-sized bloody holes across arms and thighs.

With a thought, Gao Gong manifested numerous flesh buds at the wound site, covering them.

Helli's surgical knife paused not once; upon entering the 'Mechanical Maintenance' mode, the Mechanical Girl's talent activates, immersing her entire self into the machinery, with external disturbances unable to affect her.

The higher the talent, the more Additional State gained through prosthetic body implantation.

[You successfully implanted Devil Jet*20, Sports System Transformation Rate +5%]

[Your Body Transformation +5]

[Your Mechanical Energy +5000]

[You acquired the talent 'Mechanical Overload']

At this moment, Helli's hands were deep inside Gao Gong's chest, performing a 'Heart Replacement' on him.

Reinstalling the 'reactor' is secondary; more crucially, she needs to install a charging system for the reactor.

Ultimately, Gao Gong is no Iron Man; reactors used one after another, Level 7 mechanical products are beyond what he can currently reverse-engineer.

So it's necessary to use them sparingly.

[You have successfully implanted the built-in engine - V-Type Carbon Atom Reactor, Circulatory System Transformation Rate +3%]

[Your Body Transformation +3]

[Your Mechanical Energy +4000]

As soon as the reactor was installed, the chest lit up, triggering a chain reaction, and each 'Devil's Jet' lit up.

Skull patterns appeared on Gao Gong's 'corpse'.

"Cool! I'm getting this tattoo next time!" Helli's eyes gleamed.

Gao Gong rolled his eyes, his eyeballs turning 360 degrees once again.

This kind of edgy aesthetic, oh, you're still underage, never mind then.

Once again, with a thought, Gao Gong began to cover his chest with flesh and blood. He wasn't interested in having a glowing chest, especially since this type of reactor couldn't emit lasers. Better to be conservative.

On the other side, Helli skillfully operated the surgical table, using the surgical arms to grasp 'Gao Gong' in mid-air while simultaneously flipping him over.

The 'Banner of Steel' was held by two surgical arms and simultaneously began to transform. The electronic banner folded into the pole, while the pole began to split. The sharp edges opened, inserting one by one into the gaps of the spine, fusing the electronic interface with the skin, and the sizzling sound of electricity started.

Meanwhile, blood began to flow from the spine area.

At this moment, Gao Gong's expression gradually became serious. On the 'Separate Body', countless nerve bundles pierced through, while the muscles started to writhe significantly, forming biological sockets along with the nerve bundles.

Without blinking, Helli watched. She knew that this level of transformation surgery was beyond her ability to participate in.

As the surgery progressed, the surface of Gao Gong's body became a large amber color, as if a human-shaped piece of amber encased various organs.

As the 'Banner of Steel' fused into the amber, a familiar voice rang out.

[You have successfully implanted the Steel Gun Banner, Sports System Transformation Rate +5%]

[Your Body Transformation +5]

[Your Mechanical Energy +6000]

[Your blood volume increased by 130, reaching 1947]

[Your Body Transformation reached 103 points, enabling Biological Transformation]

[Your Mechanical Energy: 25096]

[You acquired the Talent 'Dragon Knight']

Dragon, Knight!?

Gao Gong blinked, "I have a Dragon Knight now, but where's the aunt?"

...

This time, the transformation was the most extensive, essentially defining the framework of a 'Mechanical Body', suitable for use up to level 30.

As a result, Gao Gong lay down for three days.

During these three days, the Mechanical Body continuously underwent self-adjustment.

As for Helli, she had long gone ahead to the Land of Flames with Gao Gong's private jet, intending to test the new mechs on the battlefield.

In the Land of Flames, more and more people learned that an emerging force was targeting the Flame Motorcycle Faction.

"Looks like the deity kicked into tough meat this time."

In the underground black market, a warlord representative said sarcastically.

"Yeah, who would have thought that the most mobile warlord force would be stopped from venturing out."

"Who exactly are those people?"

"It's said they are Mechanical Hunters rising from the center, who once successfully stopped a Beast Tide."

"Stopped a Beast Tide!? Are you joking, how could anyone stop a Beast Tide?"

"If it's that Legendary Level Hunter, it's not impossible."

"The Legendary Level Hunter, the one who defeated the Demon Mountain and is now the top expert in the Radiation Zone?"

A person's shadow, a tree's name, Gao Gong's nearly 20,000 prestige didn't come from nowhere.

Upon hearing that such a legendary figure was behind this force, most of the people believed it.

The bald, chubby man mingled among them, feeling slightly uneasy.

If he had known that such a figure was behind the two, he wouldn't have been so arrogant.

After a moment of silence, someone suddenly said:

"So, is that top expert going to slay a god?"

"Compared to the strongest in the Flame Zone, the strongest in the Radiation Desert might still have a way to go."

Though the 'god' is strong, one of the strongest in the Flame Zone.

However, everyone pondered, a god, can't block a Beast Tide.

"Will the god submit?"

Everyone looked at each other, simultaneously shaking their heads.

If the god could submit, they wouldn't call themselves 'god'. That gene monster's brain is famously problematic.

A well-dressed middle-aged man suddenly stood up, frowning as he walked out.

"Looks like the god's partners are worried too."

Someone said gloatingly.
