Chapter 708: Chapter 233: The Deal
Even with a war-hardened, indomitable spirit, at this moment, he couldn’t help but falter for a bit.
If back then, I had randomly sent one Great Knight, even the weakest of them, would it not be so troublesome now?
Of course, as soon as this thought appeared, he crushed it instantly.
Any adversity, to him, was a challenge.
"What price must be paid to retrieve No. 13," War said bluntly.
"The ’Rewind System’ is my greatest weakness. If she is absorbed, all of my subsequent plans in reality cannot proceed.
Because I cannot intervene directly in reality."
"I need all the biomechanical technology data."
"Agreed."
"But even then, I still do not plan to hand over No. 13 to you."
War showed no expression, but his aura grew more terrifying. Influenced by this, Gao Gong also emitted a faint fluorescence.
Two powers balanced each other.
The power of the Planet Host is indeed terrifying, but in the Information Ocean, any power would be dissolved by the sea.
This is true for Tier 4 and Tier 5, too.
This is why some strong individuals of other systems clearly have the ability to dive into the deep sea, yet never plan to do so.
"The ’Rewind System’ is also very important to me, after all, it is the last Destruction Form."
Gao Gong smiled and suddenly proposed a unique plan.
"However, we can split No. 13 into two, handing you the authority related to the ’system’ of the ’Rewind System’, while its power related to the ’Natural Brain’ remains with me."
"This way, you can still initiate ’Alien Mechanism Chaos’ and ’Ancient Biological War’ against the Mother City."
War understood the implication and pondered for a moment before saying:
"So, you’re not from the Mother City."
"Quite the opposite, I, like you, hope for the collapse of the Mother City system. Perhaps the only difference is that you want it to collapse faster, while I want it slower."
At least in the initial stages, Gao Gong needs the Mother City to resist the ’Memory Mother’ for him.
Rather than like in the previous life, getting wiped out directly in the ’Cyber Wave’ stirred by the Mother.
Yet, he also needs the Planet Host to be destroyed.
Because even to Advanced Civilizations, ’Cosmic Relics’ are things inevitably desired.
Chances are, when Mechanical Split Star was born, the Level 7 Mechanical Civilization had already started the ’Relic Cultivation Plan.’
That was even 4 or 5 billion years ago.
Hence, only with the collapse of the Planet Host and the planet civilization being devoured by the Memory Mother can he create the illusion of ’relic’ cultivation failure.
But this balance is difficult to manage.
Gao Gong has already made plenty of preparations, such as the Virtual Helmet, such as Gao Yuanyuan.
Also like, the person in front of him.
War pondered for a while; he didn’t seem inclined to go all out, and even his speech subtly suggested goodwill.
"Is the Black Emperor in your hands now?"
He suddenly changed the topic.
"It’s not in my hands, but in Xiao Yu’s hands, she is Xiao Yuanshan’s granddaughter," Gao Gong emphasized.
"Descendant of the Xiao family."
War furrowed his brow; the Xiao family split into two factions after the war, one siding with the Mother City, the other adhering to the revival ambition.
And Xiao Yu’s branch is evidently the latter.
"Skillfully using the Black Prince Armor, if the little girl can truly control the ’battle armor,’ she certainly won’t lose to that brat."
So there are secrets concealed within the Doomsday Black Emperor?
Gao Gong thought it was an unexpected joy.
War fell silent once more.
Only the holographic candlelight flickered unsteadily.
He really didn’t want to split No. 13.
But this Laruelle truly let him down; as the last Destruction Form and controller of the human brain system, she was easily deceived.
In fact, during the recent battle, if only she had been a bit more cautious, she wouldn’t have fallen into the enemy’s hands.
No matter how strong the Metabolism Queen’s ability is, she couldn’t complete the bio-simulation with his support.
If she had endured a bit longer, and accumulated more ’Knights of Destruction.’
Then regardless of the number of Destruction Forms surrounding her, it wouldn’t have been a problem.
He had been building up for this battle for many years.
However, Laruelle was easily deceived; the heron and mussel fought, and the fisherman profited.
And the person before him didn’t even use his backup plans.
For example, if the method of infiltrating the ’Information Ocean’ were used in reality...
"Okay."
War finally nodded.
"The biomechanical technology must also include the technology of the top-tier biomechanical knight!"
Gao Gong didn’t mind securing a ’powerful soldier species’ for his own camp.
"Of course."
"Moreover, I also want the manufacturing technology for the ’Knights of Destruction.’"
War’s eye twitched fiercely.
"Anyway, I won’t use it against you," Gao Gong said thick-skinned, "the Knights of Destruction can’t reach here."
This time, War hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed.
[You have gained Tier 2 Underground Camp. The ’Revenge Knight Order’ transfers all technical data to you, Alliance Points +100,000]
[You obtain a new camp profession, ’Biomechanical Knight,’ Alliance Points +50,000, Leader Reputation +10,000]
[You gain an unknown level of technology ’Destruction Knight Cultivation’]
[Your reputation system with the Knight Order is reset; you are no longer ’enemy’ with this camp]
[Current Alliance Points: 600,000, Leader Reputation: 81,800]
...
"Anything else to convey outwardly?"
After Gao Gong handed over the information, he suddenly spoke.
"No," War said with a pale face.
This was his years of hard work.
"Alright, I’m leaving."
While others might not understand, Gao Gong clearly knew that the ’Information Ocean’ was an eternal hell for any species.
Even if the other party is an ’Artificial Intelligence’, the torment is no less than for anyone else.
For such a single-minded person, although Gao Gong had reservations, he also maintained a certain respect.
These days, fools are hard to find.
And the last look Gao Gong gave before leaving inexplicably made War feel a sense of insult.
Why was this guy’s gaze so displeasing?
"Truly unsettling."
War suddenly remarked.
From the perspective of the Planet Host, he was still very young. freeweɓnøvel.com
But from a human perspective, he was already very old, and to grow old without dying is a thief’s fate.
Many things can be seen without saying a word.
For instance, the method of entering the ’Deep Sea Zone’ was definitely not from this planet.
Alien?
Moreover, an alien hostile to the Mother City?
If that’s the case, then the two sides are indeed potential allies.
However, he very much disliked aliens.
He walked to the ’Mechanical Top’ and lightly tapped it with the Wooden Fish.
The next moment, the ’Buddha Body’ split into two, revealing the ’Bionic A’ hidden within. freēwēbnovel.com
Bionic A’s current condition was strange, his body surface was full of tiny bubbles, and every pore seemed like a small mouth, breathing frantically.
"It seems failing to drown you by dragging you into the ’Deep Sea’ was a plan that failed, after all, you are the strongest Destruction Form."
An unusual light flashed in War’s eyes:
"But, in terms of danger level, you are not the strongest. This time, the old man helped you, so when you get out, give that one just now a bit of trouble."
"You wouldn’t want the current Bionic Realm to collapse like the empires of ancient times, would you?"
The next moment, behind War, four phantoms emerged, among them, the phantom representing the ’Plague’ slowly walked into Bionic A’s body.
...
"Brother, you’re awake."
"Hmm, I’m awake."
Gao Gong opened his eyes, his whole body relaxed.
Unlike logging into Cyber Space, with its rough and complex simulated interaction.
Submerging into the deep sea, Gao Gong felt completely at ease.
The previous prompt from the system panel also seemed to be just an illusion.
This wasn’t because Gao Gong was strong, but because with the help of ’Divine Thought Land’, he hadn’t touched the ’Deep Sea Zone’ at all.
Otherwise, Gao Gong’s account would instantly collapse, dead beyond dead.
In fact, after the players’ undying and undying ability was discovered, becoming a ’Little Celestial Calamity of the Universe’.
Some advanced civilizations came up with the idea of dragging players into the darkest information ocean, to disintegrate in the endless information tide.
This effect was very good, second only to canned meat.
At least as far as Gao Gong knew, players immersed in the deep sea never logged online again.
Darkness surged up from beneath his feet once more, transforming into a Knight of Destruction.
The knight first bowed to Gao Gong, then walked to the side of Black Rose, squatting down and opening its mouth.
Ugly Doll Laruelle instantly showed a terrified expression.
Black Rose signaled to Gao Gong with her eyes.
Gao Gong shook his head, letting it open its mouth, and the next moment, white light was drawn from Laruelle into the knight’s body.
It took a full half an hour before the knight closed its mouth.
Darkness surged up from the ground again, enveloping the knight and letting him slowly sink.
And all that was left in Black Rose’s hands was a lifeless doll.
The ’Rewind System’s’ system capabilities were extracted by War.
Everything else was handed over to Gao Gong.
This had been agreed upon beforehand.
"Seems like you made a good deal?" Black Rose asked.
"Yes, at least the risk of my transformation will be greatly reduced."
Gao Gong had earlier roughly browsed through the secret technical documents of the Knight Order.
Sure enough, within them were methods that continuously reduce rejection.
Gao Gong took the doll, glanced at Gao Yuanyuan, and then looked at Ye the Big Lolita, who was spying from time to time.
He smiled and tossed the doll a few times:
"I said fair competition, so it will definitely be a fair competition. You can compete on a virtual level, and whoever wins, gets No. 13."
Ye the Big Lolita’s eyes lit up.
"Don’t go back on your word."
Then she added:
"I’ve already thought it through, letting Du Gao Technology take a stake in the Holy Brain Group. In the future, we’ll all be on the same side, and we won’t trick our own!"
Gao Yuanyuan smiled gently and stepped into the virtual realm directly.
"Do you have that much confidence in your little sister?"
After the two left, Black Rose asked.
"Has this Vice President Ye installed the ’Brain-Machine’?"
"Of course, she is the controller of the Brain-Machine Plan."
Gao Gong shook his head:
"Since she installed the Brain-Machine, and still wants to compete with my younger sister—naive, too naive!"
