Fatal Shot - Chapter 293
Chapter 293: Cloning a “Terminator”?
Storm City, No. 1 Landing Point.
A silver-colored passenger aircraft that was more than 300 meters long gradually descended, and countless players and NPCs spilled out from the 20 cabin doors!
“Top floor of the Hurricane Building, the perfect experimenting laboratory!”
Feng Luo entered a levitating aircraft at the entrance of the landing point.
Thereafter, he made use of the transport time to switch his vision to the players’ forum interface.
<<“The rebellion army has assaulted 10 important military grounds of the Federation, suspecting the opening of a war plot!>> – Popularity: 8.67 billion
<<“The Dongsang City battlefield rages, new-model mech of over Level 50 has appeared, combat power outrageous!”>> – Popularity: 5.21 billion
<<“The Hidden Mission information statistics has currently totaled 17 kinds of Hidden Missions come to light!” (1 credit to purchase)>> – Popularity: 1.73 million
…
Many of the most popular posts discussed a series of big events which had happened in the game world during the time he had spent doing the Agent transfer mission.
Also, there was one item among them which was related to him.
Among the statistics posts regarding Hidden Missions, there was actually some information on the “Agent” profession. Of course, the information was not complete, and most of the content was complete speculation!
This post is clearly a payable post, but its popularity is very high nonetheless. The person who posted this is earning a ton… Perhaps I can consider putting up some videos and a little information in payable posts while I’m doing some missions.
Feng Luo hummed in thought as he paid one credit to browse through the page of posts.
The forum of this game was certainly different from the forums on Earth—even though they were mainly images with short blurbs, they encompassed various types of high-tech playing methods!
The post that Feng Luo opened brought him directly into the videos shared so that he could experience others’ combat scenes.
He could even borrow others’ perspectives to experience the game’s various dangerous regions, which normal players would not have been able to enter at all. This was well-liked by the Life players, who did not like combat but enjoyed adventures and travels!
These functions were chargeable, and the players who posted would receive a share!
As such, War’s forum was very hot. Millions of players, and even specialized organizations, were active on the forum at all times!
Some hot posts could fetch millions of credits through the method of payment!
Feng Luo was also considering the possibility of posting unique videos, like BOSS fights at the City of Exiles, Dark Moon Valley ambush missions…
It could definitely become an additional source of income. Of course, that was first assuming that these videos would not expose his own trump cards and important information!
After browsing a little more, Feng Luo switched from the forum to Storm City’s players’ platform.
<<Huan Yu Company’s Storm City Auction House heavyweight-type auction will be held tomorrow, selling off Level 45 Rare sniper rifles, Master-Grade permanent Enhancement Potions, and mysterious finale equipment!>> – Popularity: 2.14 million!
<<From Glory Group, more than 5000 players have killed the Level 55 Desert Tarantula BOSS of the Withered Desert!>> – Popularity: 1.81 million!
The two messages with the highest popularity represented the focus of Storm City’s players these past two days!
Huan Yu Company was the high-end equipment company which Sister Rui was responsible for, and this auction today would be the stage for the W-virus produced by Lin and the “Eye of the Thunder” created by Feng Luo!
Clearly, Sister Rui had highlighted these two key points, putting them directly into the headline!
Feng Luo had initially thought that the W-virus Enhancement Potion should be able to be the finale on this auction. He had never considered that the finale would be something else.
What could it be? Feng Luo wondered curiously.
But this was something he could soon ask Sister Rui directly.
He was currently heading to Lin’s laboratory, and then he would immediately go to Huan Yu’s auction house. After all, he had almost 100 pieces of quality Rare equipment in his backpack, including one Rare accessory set from September Night Rain!
He had so much because he had agreed to help Big Pineapple auction off his prizes as well.
Thus, this auction tomorrow was very important to him.
…
“This thing…”
In her black-framed technological glasses, Lin scanned the “Hunter Control Chip” placed on the metallic platform, flashing dense streams of numerical data!
It was several minutes before she stopped, and her eyes looked grave as she spoke to Feng Luo.
“Where did you get this?”
“A kind of combat robot called a Hunter. It had really strong combat power!”
Feng Luo gave Lin a basic description of the Hunter T-750.
The Federal Investigation Bureau had requested that the details of the “killing game” of Death Hunter Island not be revealed to anyone, but they had said nothing about discussing the Hunters.
“Hmm. Looking at the programming data in the Control Chip and what you said, the combat power of this kind of combat robot isn’t bad at all! However, this whole thing seems a little strange!”
“What’s strange?” Feng Luo asked.
“The core program of mechanic combat weapons is of utmost importance. Logically, unless the mechanic combat weapon is hacked or there’s a flaw in the program design, it would destroy its own Control Core before its death!”
“Especially since you said that this robot was incredibly sophisticated, why didn’t it destroy its Core Chip before self-destructing?”
“A Core Chip this complete will not only let someone gain insight into the robot’s Core program, but it could also let someone clone the robot!”
“Clone it?”
Feng Luo’s expression turned to stone, then changed into delight.
He had only wanted Lin to help him determine if these Hunter chips were of any use. He hadn’t expected to receive such great news!
T-750 was definitely powerful. In a one-on-one situation, he had no idea how he would face one.
If he really could clone a T-750, even if the clone only possessed 70% of the original’s power, he would still be able to pin down most of the Elite-Grade players!
More importantly, he seriously suspected that Hunters were actually “Terminators”!
Cloning a Terminator would be… awesome!
“It’s possible indeed. But don’t get too excited!”
“First, this is just the control program, so there’s no detailed data on the various types of body parts. Thus, the process of cloning would require someone to re-design its mechanical body parts. That would be a very time-consuming matter, requiring non-stop modification and testing!”
“In the near future, my energy will be spent on the W-virus and Enhancement Potions, so I’ll have no energy to do this!”
“Second, as it’s a highly dangerous combat robot, even if the cloning was successful, the Federation wouldn’t permit you to use to it. Only those with the mechanic control right who have the Federation’s permit would be allowed to use it!”
“The most important thing is that the core control program of this kind of robot uses a kind of indecipherable algorithm, so I’m unable to completely decode it. That means the robot would run the risk of losing control!”
Those few sentences dashed Feng Luo’s hopes.
