Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 859: Chapter 27: Ms. Miller

The entire Cloud City is divided into ten rings, each ring accommodating tens of millions of people. Each ring extends beyond the eye’s reach, and the entire ring is covered with anti-gravity fields, forming a circle. In the ’sky,’ one can still see people strolling above.

This Super Space Station indeed has strengthened its network defense, yet this time, Gao Gong entered with his physical body, rendering the network defense utterly useless.

"Let me see—"

Gao Gong did not immediately seek his inside contact, Flasuo, but instead strolled leisurely as if window shopping in the outer ring.

However, each of his steps was equivalent to a thousand, even ten thousand, steps for others.

’The surface of the space station has various depressions and traces of repair, indicating it has at least traversed the Asteroid Belt. Fortunately, it hasn’t collided with any satellite fragments; otherwise, the space station would be gone instantly.’

’Radiation rays and electromagnetic storms can still be seen on the outer ring; could it have been raided by Star Thieves?’

Gao Gong quickly dismissed this thought. If it were a Star Thief attack, the attack range wouldn’t be this scattered, striking random places like this.

’In other words, did it encounter a ghost ship from outer space, or perhaps some rogue robots?’

In Gao Gong’s memory, several Interstellar Wars had occurred in this Star Zone, leaving a plethora of battlefield wreckage. The Asteroid Belt above Mechanical Split Star was created by ’Death Star’-like superweapons. This led to battle machines, which had received attack commands but lost attack targets, wandering and arbitrarily attacking in this Star Zone.

This Cloud City is likely also subjected to a similar attack.

’So, it seems this thing has traveled quite far, having basically entered the battlefield ruins. This salvage operation difficulty is not something ordinary interstellar salvage workers can manage; it likely involves Interstellar Civilization’s participation. Interesting.’

Gao Gong’s aimless wandering finally caught someone’s attention.

Quickly, from the fifth ring onwards, numerous combat drones began to take off. These drones lacked wings, resembling silver quails, but their levels were quite high, reaching Level 45, significantly higher than the Mechanical City’s Level 30 Mechanical Eyeliner.

Without a doubt, these were unmanned combat formations purchased by the affluent Cloud Nobility from Level 3 Civilizations.

Although they are Level 45, from a Level 3 Civilization perspective, these are likely reduced products, as the standard interstellar drones of Level 3 Civilizations are Level 60.

"Counterfeit goods."

Gao Gong casually made a grasp in the air, and the next moment, these drones flew around like headless flies.

Then, Gao Gong’s gaze seemed to pierce through space, traveling directly from the tenth ring to the third ring, landing on a Cloud Noble responsible for command. This Cloud Noble’s features were unnaturally attractive, with provocative attire, a dress not covering her hips, a top not covering her chest, showcasing a breezy style.

By the way, in the cosmos, many civilizations revere spherical totems (as most planets in the universe are round) and take pride in displaying ’round parts’ of their bodies. This female noble seemed to adopt this fashion from some unknown civilization, appearing both alluring and peculiar.

In an instant of eye contact, Gao Gong appeared in front of her and lightly pointed a finger.

The female noble didn’t even have time to scream before her body swiftly dissolved, leaving only a barely visible ’genetic double helix structure’ suspended in mid-air.

And this ’genetic double helix structure’ didn’t seem to be hers either, likely another implanted product.

Gao Gong’s eyes flashed, and he gave a slight smile towards the shocked slaves around him before disappearing again.

Soon, one Cloud Noble after another was melted by Gao Gong.

Each melting left behind an alien gene.

During the process, Gao Gong opened the panel—

Leader Template - Genetic Leader (2/3)

Genetic Adjustment: Capable of autonomously configuring genetic fragments, synthesizing gene chains, and creating synthetic organisms, with a 50% increase in the success rate of genetic fusions.

Genetic Sublimation: Elevate existing genes to a higher level through artificial evolution.

With his operations, Gao Gong collected more and more genetic fragments; almost every Cloud Noble had alien gene chains implanted.

To complete this ’Genetic Leader Template,’ relying on ordinary Cloud Nobility might not suffice; more advanced Main Race bloodlines are needed.

Finally, Gao Gong somewhat understood why the system rewarded him with so many gene chains the last time he hacked into Cloud City.

Even though most of the gene chains were useless.

Because real advanced race genes are core secrets for every civilization.

And what the Cloud Nobility could buy was merely the rather useless part.

Gao Gong once more teleported, appearing in the first ring, within the palace of the Main Race, Scott.

Seeing Gao Gong’s arrival, Flasuo noticeably relaxed, wanting to say something, but saw Gao Gong shake his head and directly look towards the Main Race avatar on the throne.

"Minister G, long time no see," Scott stood up from the throne, squeezing out a slight smile from the corner of his mouth.

Gao Gong stared at him for a while, his gaze seemingly piercing the heart, and said: "Have you informed that ’Miss Miller?’"

Scott’s expression froze, he forced a smile and said, "Mr. G, what are you saying? Even if I don’t trust you, how could I not trust the Lady Black Rose? She’s a super strong figure who fought back and forth with the Supreme Messenger."

"Is that so?"

Gao Gong’s eyes seemed like black holes. Although it was only a holographic avatar, facing those eyes, Scott felt as if he were enveloped by endless life evolution, even his remote body on the spaceship trembled slightly, sweat pouring down his face.

"Mr. G," Flasuo couldn’t bear to see his old superior suffering, he wanted to say something, but Gao Gong interrupted him and spoke.

"Ms. Miller, you’ve been watching from the side for quite a while, it’s about time you showed yourself."

A light laughter rang out, and a stunning young girl with a face similar to the Third Generation Miller stepped out from the back of the hall, smiling as she gazed at Gao Gong.

"Mr. G is truly worthy of being Lady Rose’s lover, you saw through our arrangement at a glance."

Flasuo’s face changed dramatically, he never expected his old superior to officially collaborate with Mr. G and Lady Rose, while secretly siding with the Miller Clan, and thinking of his daughter still in their hands, his face turned pale.

Gao Gong spoke without turning his head, "Scott’s betrayal has nothing to do with you, and even nothing to do with himself. You should get on the spaceship and leave, the matters to follow have nothing to do with you."

Once Flasuo left, Gao Gong turned to Ms. Miller and asked, "Where are the people from the Xie Family? Surely it’s not just you?"

Ms. Miller’s smile grew even wider.

Soon, gigantic mechanical zombies appeared around the palace, enclosing it from all sides.

The grade of these mechanical zombies was Level 60 soldier species, and the corpse qi they emitted combined to the extent that the palace began rotting, the walls, ceiling, and floor swiftly decayed.

Gao Gong curiously looked at a mechanical zombie, talking to himself, "So this is what corpse qi is, I thought the Xie Family was going for an immortal hero path, but it’s a branch of ’Hayflick Cell Technology,’ making people age prematurely to extract powerful life force in return, interesting."

What was more interesting was the event that followed, just as the corpse qi soared to its peak, one mechanical zombie suddenly halted and fell to the ground with a ’bang’.

This seemed to trigger a chain reaction, as the previously aggressive mechanical zombies collapsed one by one to the ground, their flesh rapidly disintegrating, life extinguished.

A large number of Level 60 elite soldier species died all at once.

Gao Gong had a glint of surprise in his eyes, and asked, "What is the Miller Clan trying to do?"

"Nothing much, just wanting to cooperate with Mr. G," Ms. Miller replied with a floral smile.

"Cooperate with me, you’re not targeting the fortress anymore? Did your brother agree?"

Gao Gong hadn’t forgotten how he had greatly embarrassed the Third Generation Miller back in Nightless City.

Ms. Miller laughed, "Mr. G, being the Minister of the Ghost in the Shell Mobile Division, should know that every member of the Miller Clan, before their lifespan ends, enters a freezing chamber to preserve their bodies until new medical technology emerges to thaw us. So in name, I’m the sister of the Third Generation Miller, but in reality, I’m his great-grandmother."

The noble circle is really complex!

Gao Gong clicked his tongue twice with emotion, then asked, "So you want to cooperate with me, about what?"

"Whatever Mr. G wants to cooperate on, that’s what we’ll do."

"What if I want to deal with that Supreme Messenger?"

As the lover of an overbearing lady president, Gao Gong naturally was the first to know about the Supreme’s situation.

That mysterious Supreme at the very least possessed a cosmic relic.

Ms. Miller said with a smile, "Then, without violating the agreement, I could provide you with some information about the Supreme."

Gao Gong looked her up and down, without speaking.

"Actually, some of the high-level people at the Cyber Test Field have always looked down on us Cloud Nobility, believing we only enjoy the benefits of the old era and are a bunch of planet pests, spending foolishly in the interstellar black market, only knowing indulgence and wastage of resources. In a sense, that’s not entirely wrong."

"But only we know, it isn’t that we willingly became depraved, just at a time of rapid technological advancement, no matter how hard we worked, we couldn’t keep pace with true geniuses. For survival, we had to cling to giants, be it legendary higher-level civilization influences or peak figures of an era, all were our partners."

Gao Gong squinted at her, suddenly laughed, "The Miller Clan isn’t as bad as you say, at the very least, other Cloud Nobility implant alien genes only for decoration to appear superior, but you have secretly been piecing together gene chains, attempting to replicate a complete gene of a true advanced race, correct?"

Before she could speak, the chaotic hues in Gao Gong’s eyes intensified, and in the next instant, brilliance appeared in Ms. Miller’s eyes.

When they clashed, neither was dominant.

Ms. Miller undoubtedly had a Tier 3 alien bloodline, and it was a complete one.

Yet, Gao Gong’s "Sea of Life" was Tier 4.

The divine light in Gao Gong’s eyes gradually suppressed hers bit by bit.

And on Ms. Miller’s face, finally appeared a hint of genuine emotion.
