A Level 4 Virtual Master had powerful hacking abilities that were not limited to traditional networks.
They could hack into all data and signal transmissions.
They could even slightly affect a person's thinking.
Arnold's secret detection methods, including the devices on his body, all transmitted data signals.
Once these devices were controlled, his combat power would be sharply reduced, and he would lose his eyes. He would not be able to control the miniature detonators on the three people instantly.
"You're not lying to me?"
Arnold was skeptical. Before implementing the plan, he had studied the intelligence. Beichen did not have a Level 4 Virtual Master.
There were none in the entire Cerulean.
This was because this profession was too rare, and they were all precious strategic talents. Remote planets could not keep them.
"It's up to you to believe it or not."
Luo Liang knew about this because of Xiaochu's reminder.
The Beichen bracelet on his hand was being hacked.
The attacker would probably use Luo Liang as a springboard to hack into Arnold's equipment.
Arnold immediately checked the equipment. He turned on all the firewalls to the maximum and even used some physical restrictions.
He was a member of the Dark Net and was very experienced in dealing with Virtual Technology. He was not afraid of a Level 2 or 3 Virtual Master.
Not long after, he found some unusual traces.
Although there was no clear evidence.
Arnold was already convinced of Luo Liang's words.
He could not help but feel a little annoyed. It seemed like he had to knock some sense into Beichen.
At this moment.
Gu Lin and Ruth, the two mentors, came over to negotiate.
"The list you submitted is all precious resources. That pile of gene strengthening fluids and general cultivation resources are easy to negotiate, but there are a few materials with high activity that are very rare …"
"So many resources, it's equivalent to several times the amount needed to become a Level 3 Super …"
The two mentors tried to bargain with each other.
The materials on the list were not too difficult for Beichen.
Their goal was to stall for time and prepare for the Virtual Master and other means.
Luo Liang heard the description of the resources and was excited.
Biochemical Mechanical was a profession that combined physical strength and mechanical technology.
Many of the cultivation resources were common for Martial Artists.
Luo Liang's cultivation as a warrior tended to slow down after reaching the Xiantian Realm.
If he had such precious resources to advance to Level 3, he would at least be able to break through a small level in a short period of time. He might even be able to reach the pinnacle of Level 2 within a few months, which would be several times faster than his original plan.
"Noisy!"
Arnold's face was ferocious. He reached out and grabbed Fu Chuanzhi's long hair, pulling the latter up.
Arnold's mechanical claw cut off a tuft of Fu Chuanzhi's hair, leaving a trail of blood on his scalp.
Hiss!
A sharp pain jolted Fu Chuanzhi awake.
Fu Chuanzhi clenched his teeth, a trace of cold resentment hidden in his eyes.
"Stop!"
"Arnold, what is the meaning of this?!"
Gu Lin and the other man shouted angrily.
"None of us came within twenty meters of him. Why did you attack?"
"This is a warning to you!"
Arnold's face was filled with killing intent.
"Tell that Level 4 Virtual Master to stop his intrusion. Otherwise, I'll cut off Fu Chuanzhi's head next time."
Gu Lin and the other man's hearts thumped as their expressions changed drastically.
Arnold had sensed the intrusion of the Level 4 Virtual Master.
The two mentors quickly retreated to the back and contacted the higher-ups of Beichen.
Ten thousand meters in the sky.
Vice Principal Cai Wenjing's face darkened when he heard the news.
That Level 4 Virtual Master wasn't in Cerulean. He was the vice principal of another planet in Maple Leaf, a few star systems away.
This person had some friendship with Cai Wenjing. Agreeing to provide long-distance support was slightly worse than participating personally.
The Level 4 Virtual Master's intervention was an important part of their plan.
They didn't expect Arnold's Virtual Master to be so good and so cautious.
The intrusion had just begun and the other party had already noticed it.
"Principal Cai, what should we do?"
A few of the senior mentors present had solemn expressions.
"We can only give the resources to Arnold first. We can't do anything else to avoid angering this person and harming the hostages."
Cai Wenjing sighed.
"They're threatening us with Fu Chuanzhi's head. The Fu family is one of the top families in Cerulean. If anything happens to them, it'll be hard to explain. "
He was filled with hatred. Li Yutong was really a good boss who didn't do anything.
Such a troublesome and troublesome matter had fallen on his head.
Of course, even if Li Yutong was here, it would be useless. She was good at violence and wouldn't be of much help to the current situation.
"Then let's endure it for now."
"We still have a backup plan. As long as we can take down the fugitive, it won't affect Beichen much."
…
In the depths of the cave.
Luo Liang's performance just now had won Arnold's favor.
"If you cooperate well, I'll definitely let the two of you have nothing to worry about."
Arnold said pleasantly.
He had removed Luo Liang's unconscious state and only left the Spider Silk Binding to limit the superpower's power.
This way, Luo Liang's Sensory talent could be used to its fullest.
Arnold wasn't worried that Luo Liang would run away. After all, the woman he loved was still in his hands.
"As long as you don't hurt Mengyao, I'll cooperate well. You're half a senior to us. I believe you won't go back on your words."
Luo Liang said seriously.
Arnold agreed on the surface, but he sneered in his heart.
Luo Liang's powerful Sensory talent would be a threat to him in the future.
He had to escape.
Fu Chuanzhi and Dong Mengyao might be able to save their lives.
Luo Liang definitely couldn't be left alive!
When the two were talking, they didn't notice that Dong Mengyao's eyes were crystal clear.
Due to the effect of the Spiritual Pearl in her body, Dong Mengyao still retained a trace of hazy senses even when she was asleep. She could vaguely hear the conversation beside her.
In order to save her, Luo Liang risked his life and betrayed Beichen to cooperate with the kidnappers.
All these actions made Dong Mengyao feel both resentful and deeply moved.
This kind of feeling didn't necessarily mean that she liked him, but it touched her heart.
Soon, it was evening.
Arnold's half-day deadline was approaching.
"Arnold, we've gathered the list of resources you gave us."
The two instructors appeared again.
Gu Lin waved his hand, magic wrapped a few boxes of materials and resources, and threw them a few meters in front of Arnold.
"Ding! 'Arnold's Kidnapping' Mission 1 completed, 1500 points awarded. "
The imprint burned, and the prompt sounded in his ears.
Luo Liang's mouth curved slightly.
His plan was to win as much as possible.
Not only did he want to save people, but he also wanted to reap benefits from all sides.
Bang!
Arnold opened the box with his palm and sent a few mechanical bugs into the box to check for a long time.
"Yes, that's right."
Arnold also checked once, and put a pile of materials and resources into a compressed space bag.
The compressed space bag wasn't a dimensional space tool.
It used space compression technology, for example, compressing a space the size of a house into a bag, but the weight of the things inside didn't change.
Luo Liang glanced at the compressed space bag, satisfied. This was more convenient.
He couldn't help but sigh. Arnold was really an excellent worker.
During the practical training, Luo Liang was targeted by Beichen, and he was a little unhappy. The appearance of the kidnappers was also the school's mistake.
Now, with the help of a worker, he could cheat Beichen of a sum of resources, and he felt at ease.
"I'll leave the island tomorrow morning to deliver the hostages."
"All of you, stay out of sight. If there are any strange movements, Fu Chuanzhi's head will fall to the ground!"
Arnold said sternly.
"Okay."
Gu Lin and Zhang Zian were a little confused, but they hoped that the other party would stay for a while longer.
Luo Liang roughly understood Arnold's intention.
Arnold had the aura left behind by a level 3 wizard before he died. Only a level 3 super could erase the aura and escape with greater strength.
"Help me keep an eye on him."
Arnold said to Luo Liang.
"When I become a level 3 super and escape, you and your little lover will be as good as new."
He understood Luo Liang's mentality. He was probably afraid that he would kill the hostages or have a conflict with Beichen and hurt his beloved.
"Okay."
Luo Liang agreed, but he was a little puzzled.
Arnold promoted so casually. Was he not afraid of being ambushed?
Luo Liang asked Xiaochu.
"The promotion of a biochemical machine is different from other professions. It's mainly a combination of machinery and the physical body. If you have the theory and the physical body is strong enough, you only need the materials and gene fluid. It's like assembling a machine. The promotion process is faster, and you don't have to worry about interference. "
Xiaochu explained.
Luo Liang suddenly understood. This profession was more technologically advanced.
It was unlike the breakthroughs of warriors and cultivators. If they were interrupted at a critical moment, they might suffer a backlash and go crazy.
Even if the promotion of a biochemical machine was interrupted, the damage would be less.
In Arnold's situation, his theory should be very complete. He only lacked the materials and resources.
"However, when he becomes a level 3 super, there will be a combination of his willpower, physical body, and machinery at a critical moment. At that time, he needs to concentrate and will cause fluctuations in the world. It's just that it's relatively short. "
Xiaochu added.
Luo Liang's heart jolted.
Although Arnold was not afraid of interference, there was still a temporary flaw.
Beichen was frightened by the Virtual Master incident and did not dare to send people close to him. Naturally, it could not grasp this opportunity.
However, Luo Liang and the other two were very close to Arnold.
Ka! Chi! Ding ding …
Arnold dismantled the mechanical parts on his body and took out new materials from the compressed space bag to replace them.
The series of actions was dazzling and clean.
It was as if he had simulated it thousands of times.
In just half an hour.
Half of his mechanical body was brand new. Even his left eye was modified and upgraded.
Then …
Arnold injected several types of gene fluid into his muscles and organs to strengthen them.
Sizzle!
The machinery on his body produced sparks, and his muscles and organs glowed with vitality.
The power of his machinery and physical body intertwined, emitting a strong pressure. He faintly stepped into the level of level 3, City-state level.
"This class is a bit strong."
Luo Liang praised in his heart.
He activated his Spirit Heart and used the power of a Spirit Master to completely suppress the spirituality of the white spider silk on his body.
The strange poison in the spider silk retreated and shrank.
The spider silk on Fu Chuanzhi and Dong Mengyao intertwined with Luo Liang's.
Luo Liang helped the two of them dissolve it.
Without the corrosion of the spider silk's poison, the super power in their bodies began to recover.
It just so happened that half of the super strong sleeping agent in their bodies had passed and was suppressed by the super power.
After Fu Chuanzhi and Dong Mengyao regained consciousness, they very cleverly pretended to be unconscious and quietly recovered their strength.
The two of them realized that Arnold was breaking through, but they did not dare to act rashly.
A few hours later …
The super power of Arnold's biochemical machinery rose to a new peak.
The compatibility between the machinery and the physical body was getting higher and higher, and it was about to enter the final moment.
"Xiaochu, this is too fast."
Luo Liang asked.
"Yes, it's a few times faster than normal. He should have reached level 3 in theory long ago and simulated it many times in the virtual space. Now, it's a natural upgrade."
Xiaochu agreed.
Whoosh!
A wave of cosmic energy came from Arnold's body.
His eyes were like lightning. His will, physical body, and machinery merged, and he was about to take the step to transcend species sublimation!
"This is the time!"
