Cyber ​​God: Abyss Walker

"Ah... okay, um."

Faced with Wang Yu's sudden apology, Ling Qi smiled after a slight pause. She had to admit that she was indeed a little angry and annoyed when he said those cold words, but now that she could get such a straightforward and undisguised apology from Wang Yu so quickly, she decided to let those emotions go.

"Do we need to implant an assistive chip? Do we need to find a professional prosthetics doctor, or does Lena know how to do this? If she's a doctor, she definitely does. Lena has probably learned this skill."

Carefully holding the auxiliary chip given to him by Zero Seven, he got up from his workbench and walked towards where Lena was. To be honest, his rude refusal earlier was also quite bad, especially for someone like Lena whose mind was not yet mature.

"I'm sorry, I was a bit too hasty just now. It was my fault. How could I not listen to the doctor?"

Sitting down next to Lena, Wang Yu apologized to her. Even if he had to pay the price of his life for revenge, before that, the few people in this world who could be called his companions should not pay for his actions.

"Really? Your body really needs a check-up, otherwise you'll soon lose the ability to move like I did before. It's my father who taught me to help the abnormal pollutants in my body reach a more balanced and stable state."

Lena hadn't recovered from her previous confusion when she heard Wang Yu's apology and looked up at him with apologetic eyes.

"You mean, my physical condition is actually very similar to yours...?"

Wang Yu was slightly taken aback by what the other party said. He hadn't been paying attention to what Lena was saying before, but now he learned some additional information from her.

"Yes, I can sense the remnants of the power of three great beings within your body. Two are dominant, while the remaining one is very faint. The first two happen to have temporarily formed a fragile balance."

"But this balance can be disrupted at any time due to various reasons depending on your behavior, and certain adjustments must be made to the body to increase the duration of this balance."

Lena used the tentacles extending from under her clothes to touch Wang Yu's chest, where his heart was.

"This is the core of that aggressive and great power. It occupies your heart and surrounding vital organs, including your lungs, and from this base, it spreads out to other parts of your body to erode them, forming an opposition with the power of another great being."

Then, the tentacles started from Wang Yu's right shoulder and slid diagonally down his upper body to his waist.

"This is where the power of another great being is distributed. The other half of the body and the flesh below the waist seem to have been replaced by it, but because its nature is relatively mild and not highly aggressive, it is only fighting against the former's power, which is constantly trying to expand."

Finally, the tentacle touched Wang Yu's forehead, and from there it traveled down to his calves.

"This is where your own flesh and blood are distributed. It makes up the majority of your head and neck, and the rest is scattered and unevenly distributed in the places where the power of those great beings resides. I am very familiar with your own flesh and blood, Wang Yu. After all, the flesh and blood that make up part of my body is the flesh and blood that my father took from you."

"The unique nature of your own flesh and blood makes these scattered fragments of flesh and blood, distributed between the two great forces, a kind of 'harmonizer,' allowing the two to achieve a very precise balance. However, they are like consumables, constantly being consumed. When they are exhausted, your body will collapse."

"All I can do for you is to distribute Wang Yu's flesh and blood more evenly between the two great powers, so that the rate of depletion becomes basically the same. This can slow down the process of your body's collapse. But all I can do is delay it."

Lena explained what she could do for Wang Yu as a doctor: she could prolong the time before his body collapsed, but she couldn't prevent the final outcome. However, this was already a completely unexpected joy for Wang Yu.

"That's good enough. At least I don't need to rush anymore. Also, Lena, are you capable of performing assistive chip implantation surgery? I want to have this assistive chip implanted in my brain."

Acknowledging that the other party was capable of doing so, Wang Yu reached out and showed the auxiliary chip to Lena, asking if she had mastered the auxiliary chip implantation surgery.

"Assistive chip implantation surgery... I'm not confident I can complete it on a normal human, but if it's Wang Yu, based on my familiarity with your body and your self-healing ability, yes, I can complete the assistive chip implantation surgery. Adjusting your body should be the best time to complete the implantation."

Lena took the auxiliary chip from Wang Yu's hand, touched and sensed it with her tentacles for a while, and then looked up to give an affirmative answer.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Doctor."

Wang Yu clasped his hands together, bowed to Lena, and said sincerely.

"In the eyes of the Tide Gang, I, Number 318, the Star Ring Mercenary 'Ultraman,' am definitely a dead man. It's impossible for a human to survive in the wasteland for two months, let alone walk back to the Wasteland City without relying on a mobile city to enter. This is a good thing for me."

Lying on the operating table he and Ling Qi had worked on together, Wang Yu's limbs were fixed in place by devices. He spoke to Ling Qi, who was adjusting and checking the operating table.

"Let the name 'Ultraman' from the Star Ring mercenary clan die forever in the wasteland. From now on, only the Star Ring mercenary 'Abyss Walker' will exist."

After summarizing, Wang Yu relaxed all his muscles and allowed the combination of anesthetic drugs to be injected into his body. These things had no effect on him because he had a conscious resistance, but if he allowed these things to enter his body spontaneously, they could still have the corresponding effect.

"Yes, I checked your Star Ring account. The Tide Gang hasn't tried to contact 'Ultraman' since. They should be pretty sure you're dead."

"And the account you gave me, the one with the mercenary Dorothy, I have successfully taken over. I submitted the information she recorded in the simulated city to the Tide Gang as the basis for completing the mission. After confirming the situation, they have transferred that large sum of common currency to that account."

"It shouldn't be unusual for them to not confirm the mission for two months. After all, it's such a huge sum of money. It's necessary to do the preliminary work of transferring the money to the person and the assets in advance. They need to prevent the gang from turning against them for this money. It's quite normal for them to spend two months preparing and then report that the mission has been completed."

Lingqi handed the user manuals for each device to Lena. Lena usually seemed a little dull, but in the medical field, she was a game-changer for both Wang Yu and Lingqi. Her intelligence and learning ability were beyond doubt. At the same time, she was talking to Wang Yu.

"They're facing a guy who no longer exists in this world. Thinking about it that way, it's actually quite advantageous. Plus, with that universal currency, it's enough for me to create some high-end gadgets."

Wang Yu revealed a somewhat sinister smile. Given that the Hai Chao Gang believed he was dead, any attack he launched would be fatal and unpredictable.

"That's right. Once the chip is implanted, you'll be able to use things that you couldn't use before."

Ling Qi nodded, pressed a button on the operating table, and injected the two tubes of mixed medicine into Wang Yu's body.

"Then I'll look forward to it..."

Physical fitness test • Success

Physical fitness test • Success

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Yu's mind became hazy. Before he lost consciousness, he used the two dice he had used that day for a one-time physical examination, which should effectively facilitate the completion of the surgery.

Looking at the unconscious Wang Yu and Lena, who was skillfully using the surgical equipment and inserting the tentacles extending from her body into the other's body, Ling Qi asked a question.

"Lena, is there really no way to strip away the immense power of that being from Wang Yu's body and restore him to his original human form?"

She hoped to get an answer from Lena, because if Wang Yu discovered that the power of the Great Being could help him destroy the Tide Gang, he probably wouldn't allow that power to be separated, or rather, he definitely wouldn't.

"Well, Sister Lingqi, all I can do is adjust it. The power of great beings is not so easy to separate. Like me, like Wang Yu, the power of these great beings has become part of my body. Even if my hands and feet are cut off and my flesh is scraped away, the power of those great beings will still exist in some place that is not in the actual space."

"If Wang Yu hadn't provided his flesh and blood, I would still be stuck in the life support pod my father made, waiting for my life to end as my organs completely failed."

While Lena focused intently on cutting open Wang Yu's skull, she was still able to talk to Ling Qi, confirming that she indeed did not have the method to separate the power of the great being within Wang Yu.

"It's already become a part of me, and even cutting away flesh and blood won't remove it..."

Lingqi muttered to herself, repeating the information Lena had told her, lost in thought.

"Sizzle..."

The cutting saw cleaved through Wang Yu's bones, blood flowing out. Tentacles separated brain tissue, searching for the location where the chip could connect to the largest area of ​​nerves in the entire brain. Fine, simulated nerve fiber channels were laid out little by little in his brain, forming an enhanced implantable tissue that could interface with the entire nervous system.

Turning over a piece of brain tissue, a large, white worm appeared, lying prone and occupying the spot. Lena's usually expressionless face showed a faint look of disgust. She used her tentacles to pry the parasite connected to Wang Yu's brain aside and placed the auxiliary chip back in its original position.

The parasite made no resistance or struggle. It seemed to have been completely worn down by fear or some other threat, and was just doing the most basic activities on instinct. It's hard to say whether there would be any problem if we removed it now. It's probably fine, but Wang Yu still has a use for this insect, so he'll let it live for a while longer.

Blood droplets were sprayed onto the area temporarily used as an operating room during the craniotomy. The entire surgical procedure looked cruel, primitive, and extremely bloody, and the surrounding environment was indeed like that.

There was no sterile environment, no large amount of supporting equipment, only some instruments made by the patients themselves, a doctor who had just mastered how to use these instruments, and an assistant helping out.

But considering that the guy lying on the operating table could hardly be considered human, the doctor performing the surgery could be described as a monster, and the assistant was not even remotely human, the crude environment itself was not worth worrying about; it was enough.

"Click click click".

The dislocated skull was reassembled, and the skin, flesh, and bones, after being stitched and joined, began to heal at a visible speed. The power of the two great beings related to flesh and blood, the Body Dice, had completely changed Wang Yu's physique.

About ten minutes later, the drug that had put him into a coma wore off, and Wang Yu woke up from his unconscious state, opened his eyes, and looked at his surroundings.

He blinked, but he could still only see with one eye. Even though the power of the Blood Sea and the simulated city corresponding to the great beings had expelled the mark and power of eternal death from his body, his blind right eye still hadn't recovered. Wang Yu didn't quite understand this, so he just let it be.

"Is this the world after the implantation of the assistive chip? It really does feel very different."

Looking around with curiosity and a slight sense of strangeness, as if he had gained an extra special organ, he could see many things that he couldn't understand before. In the workshop located in the kennel, there were a lot of devices that Ling Qi could control. Wang Yu couldn't understand how Ling Qi controlled these things before, but now, there was no problem.

Floating on the outer layer of these devices are texts that Wang Yu can understand, such as authorization and interfaces. He tentatively probes his thoughts into them and finds that he can control an assembly machine from a great distance. Moreover, his control over it is so precise that he can do it at will and achieve a much higher level of processing than manual control.

"Unbelievable..."

He exclaimed with emotion that the changes brought to him by the auxiliary chip were far more than just these; it also accelerated his thinking. When people think about problems that are not very difficult, such as 1794... + 185464... = how much, they will spend a lot of time thinking. But now, the auxiliary chip can help Wang Yu calculate similar problems in an instant.

He took out the Greedy Golden Serpent Revolver, and a crosshair appeared as a virtual projection on the objects in his field of vision, even showing the trajectory of the bullet. Looking under the bed, the somewhat blurry scenery in the dark places was directly simulated by the auxiliary chip with a specific algorithm to create outlines without much detail.

Shock—that was probably Wang Yu's feeling at that moment. For the first time, he had stepped into another realm of this cyber world, a zone composed of electronic information. This chip provided him with many abilities that he had never dared to imagine before, all of which awaited his research.

A slight smile unconsciously appeared at the corners of his mouth, which quickly faded. His five fingers clenched into a fist, then relaxed. Wang Yu seemed to be thinking about something, until something more important interrupted his thoughts.

"Zero Seven!"

Wang Yu called out Ling Qi's name.

"What's wrong?"

Lingqi quickly arrived at the bedside where Wang Yu was lying and looked at the guy who had just finished surgery.

Give me your hand.

"Oh well."

Somewhat confused about what Wang Yu wanted to do, Ling Qi still placed the body MK2's hand in Wang Yu's hand.

"Can you feel it? Haven't you always wanted to know what human feelings are like? The assistive chip in my brain is connected to my nerves, so you should be able to sense it through it, right?"

"Ah, yes."

Lingqi only remembered this matter after being reminded by the other party. During this period, she had been so focused on other things that she hadn't noticed the opportunity that suddenly arose.

"Just like you said... soft... a little cold..."

Through Wang Yu's body, Ling Qi experienced "human sensations".
