I am invincible and I travel through

Chapter 4 Small Goal - Occupy Night City
Luo Ji looked at his current appearance in silence.

To be honest, even he was a little confused about what was going on now.

If the cyberhumans were originally just cybernetic bodies installed with prosthetics, then now it is equivalent to taking a big step forward and becoming Cybertron humans.

When machinery became the main structure of Luo Ji's body, the so-called ascension ceremony became less important. In other words, the special energy source of pressure value began to take effect, directly and continuously repairing the mechanical structure that had been installed in Luo Ji's body, and at the same time transformed the remaining flesh and blood into inexplicable black technology.

It is not an exaggeration to call Luo Ji an intelligent machine now.

"No, the Ascendant's talent is still working..."

Luo Ji's electronic eyes flickered red.

Self-optimization.

Now Luo Ji's body is constantly optimizing itself.

Not only the computing program, but also the hardware is self-optimizing and evolving under the magical effect of pressure value.

This is what can be called true mechanical ascension!
"Tsk, Night City has suffered from Arasaka for a long time."

"A world ruled by capital? Sorry, power is the greatest capital."

This thought naturally emerged in Luo Ji's mind.

He was very calm and not acting on impulse. It would be more accurate to say that after completing his intelligent mechanization, Luo Ji's thinking would no longer be affected too much by negative emotions, and the decisions he made would always be those that he would make under normal circumstances.

Luo Ji took a look at the machine gun which was still slightly warm. His eyeball, which had automatically transformed into a mechanical structure, had already scanned it thoroughly and was able to replicate the corresponding structure on his body.

Pressure value, this thing is equivalent to the source of fire for Cybertronians for Luo Ji.

The Fire Source can create all kinds of black technologies out of thin air, and can also be used as a health bar. The only disadvantage is that it is difficult to replenish once consumed.

But for Luo Ji, the pressure value is whatever he wants.

The reason is very simple, that is, Luo Ji discovered that this judgment standard is actually based on his state before mechanical ascension, rather than his current emotions. He doesn't know whether it is a talent or a special bug.

Thinking of this, Luo Ji suddenly stood up and slowly walked outside.

"finally come."

Luo Ji said lightly.

Suddenly, a helicopter appeared in the sky, followed by a fully armed special forces team that landed on the ground.

This is the trauma team. Their best skill is collecting bodies for various clients who have signed agreements. Even if the head is severed, as long as the patient has not been dying for more than a certain period of time, we can save him.

It can be said that he is very professional. Apart from that, he would never rescue a guy even if he could easily save him. Instead, he would throw him to the scavenger, who is a professional who collects corpses at the bottom of the city.

However, even so, being a scavenger can be considered a good profession, and it can even be said that it is part of the Arasaka Group's organization. The wealth earned is enough to support the next generation to go to school normally, and then join the Arasaka Group to become a white-collar worker and complete a class leap.

"The client has been detected dead..."

"The target is not a customer, is not in the authorized information database, and is suspected to be a hacker-level figure."

"No security protocols detected, free fire authorized!"

The leader of the trauma team conveyed the information displayed by the chip with a cold, or rather numb, expression.

Before he landed, several trauma team members pulled the trigger at Luo Ji in the air.

This may be impossible for ordinary people to do, and they can perfectly control the accuracy of shooting in the air, but it is easy for trauma team members who have undergone special advanced prosthetic modifications.

However, even a large-caliber machine gun would find it difficult to directly blow up Luo Ji's current body, let alone a rifle of this small caliber.

Ding, ding, dang! The sound of bullets colliding with metal rang out! The friction on Luo Ji's body produced a lot of sparks!

"You guys damaged my bionic skin."

Luo Ji said lightly, and at the same time, his face was suddenly grazed by a bullet. The substance that looked like facial skin fell to the ground, revealing the metal inside.

Yes, bionic skin. In fact, Luo Ji's appearance is now covered with a layer of bionic material, which is also counted within the scope of pressure value repair and mechanical ascension evolution.

This is also the main reason why the trauma team did not realize anything was wrong when they came up.

If Luo Ji appeared in a nearly fully metal form, anyone in the trauma team would know that the level of his prosthetic transformation is at least on the same level as the company's senior thugs, and it would probably take the army to deal with him. How could they, the company employees who squeeze the people's money, be able to solve the problem?

Even in Night City, he can be considered an upper-class person.

I don't know when the gunfire stopped.

Silent fear gradually spread in the hearts of the trauma team after Luo Ji's true form, that is, his bionic skin, was broken.

As educated company employees, they clearly knew what Luo Ji's equipment meant. And the fact that he didn't fight back at the beginning was actually because Luo Ji was testing his defense, which was more or less a tip-off to himself.

Anyway, Luo Ji had already made a backup plan when he completed the mechanical ascension. It didn't matter whether this body was destroyed or not. He could make a comeback at any time. He even didn't take the small Night City seriously.

"Interesting. The setting of the stress value is indeed based on the previous ordinary people. Facing the hail of bullets can actually accelerate the rapid accumulation of stress value."

Luo Ji smiled slightly, and a crack quietly appeared on the metal of his face.

"Are you done? It's my turn."

I saw the muzzle of a gun sticking out directly from the gap in Luo Ji's mouth.

Chu Chu Chu!
Although each member of the trauma team had prosthetic limbs, most of their bodies were still flesh and blood. Although mass-produced special equipment made up for this part, facing Luo Ji's targeted machine gun fire, they would have used up all their luck to be able to hold on for a few more seconds.

In an instant, the situation reversed, and the trauma team members rotted into a heap at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Even though they were numb from the company's oppression, the members of the trauma team finally broke down at this point.

However, even more collapse is yet to come.

Luo Ji casually turned on a BGM that he had recorded before, then retracted the machine gun and walked forward calmly.

You can kill them all, but it's not necessary.

Luo Ji was still thinking of keeping a person alive so that he could scan and analyze some new black technology.

At this time, the only remaining trauma team member, after seeing Luo Ji approaching with several pieces of tattered bionic material hanging on his surface, wanted to shoot with fear on his face. Even after realizing that his rifle had no bullets, the instinct developed from long-term training made him take out his secondary weapon pistol and try to shoot.

But at this moment, the chip that had been implanted long ago directly displayed such information on his retinal nerves.

【Warning! Do not attack company customers! 】

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Veins bulged on the trauma team member's neck, but his instincts, which had been tamed over the years, made it impossible for him to disobey the orders issued by the company.

Luo Ji stretched out his hand and grabbed the head of the trauma team member who had obviously become a cyberpsychopath, and lifted him up directly. At the same time, his electronic eyes began to release light to analyze his internal structure.

"Interesting chip structure. I can use this to brainwash and control others and build my own faction."

Luo Ji said lightly.

Through this chip, Luo Ji also analyzed some of the authority channels to enter the Arasaka Corporation's network.

It can only be said that after completing the mechanical ascension, Luo Ji, who has his own self-awareness, has inherently become the god of this world's network. After all, the reason why those cyber hackers die from mental trauma when hacking into the network is essentially because of their weak bodies, not to mention that Luo Ji can also transfer the burden and repair himself through the pressure value.

Just now, Luo Ji just casually registered a company member customer, which resulted in the trauma team being unable to take the initiative to attack him due to the routine circumstances of the agreement, because that would be damaging the company's property.

The specific principle is very simple. In the eyes of the top management of Arasaka Corporation, the so-called subordinates are like a string of numbers in a farming simulation game, and they can all be measured by value. Therefore, it is naturally impossible to allow their own NPC to inexplicably kill another NPC that will continuously produce value.

"But I don't care about the small Night City anymore."

Luo Ji thought so.

In fact, this world is somewhat like scientific research relying on archaeology.

The cyber black zone is where the servers of the old civilization are located. It is also the main target of Arasaka Corporation for cultivating hackers. It is full of virus programs, chaotic artificial intelligence, and death traps that directly cut off the network when your consciousness is transmitted in... but it also contains a large amount of information and knowledge that has not yet been transferred.

Of course, we have to do both. As a capital overlord, Arasaka Corporation is naturally cultivating its own scientific research team while excavating the heritage, and has achieved some results so far.

At this time, Luo Ji's vision has also expanded. He is not only concerned about the future but also thinking about what to do after eliminating Arasaka, the biggest threat.

"Sure enough, I still have to build up my own power..."

"Then let's find a way to occupy Night City first."

Luo Ji thought so.

Whether it is exploring ancient civilizations or conducting scientific research, one must have one's own forces to improve efficiency, at least that is the case for now.

Anyway, he had to move forward and it was impossible to stop peacefully. Luo Ji was still thinking about providing more help to himself in other worlds.

In fact, the Arasaka Group is not limited to Night City. There is more than one faction within the group, and there is also ruthless competition within the capital itself. It is not an ironclad organization.

This is also Luo Ji's opportunity.

Otherwise, with his current strength, he really can't directly confront a behemoth of the level of the entire Arasaka Group. Perhaps he will have to stay alive for a while and quietly accumulate pressure points to ascend and transform himself.
