Chapter 72: Alien! Arcee Gundam, Man and Machine as One (5,000 Words)
One month later.
In a villa in a neighborhood around Third Avenue in Manhattan.
A game anchor was concentrating on broadcasting live in front of the computer.
In the game screen, the detective android Connor came to the rooftop under his control. On the edge of the opposite rooftop, the alien android Daniel held a little girl hostage with a pistol and was very emotional.
"I know they want to replace you, and you are very unhappy, is that so?" Connor asked through the clues he had just collected.
Daniel held a pistol against the little girl's head, looking sad and angry: "I thought I was a part of this family, I thought they cared about me..."
"In the end, I'm just a toy, an item that will be thrown away after use!"
…………
1 Use a gun
2 Sacrifice yourself
3 Compromise
4 Rejection
"Guys, we try to appease as much as possible. We can see that Daniel's trust has reached 99%. In the last step, we choose to compromise." Calvo interacted with the audience and clicked option 3.
After clicking the option, Connor in the game spoke again.
"Daniel, you have to believe me. Let the hostage go. I promise you will be fine!"
Daniel swallowed his saliva and said, "I don't want to die..."
"You will be fine. We are just chatting. It will be fine. I promise!"
Daniel stared at Connor. His smart expression and eyes made the anchor and the audience feel as if he was looking at you in front of the screen.
100% success rate!
"OK... I believe you..." After the success rate reached 100%, the abnormal bionic man chose to believe Connor and let go of the hostage.
Seeing the hostage leave safely, Calvo smiled.
"Although the modeling and plot of this game are very exquisite, the gameplay..."
"Bang!"
But the next moment, a gunshot in the game scared him.
On the screen, the sniper hidden in the dark pulled the trigger without hesitation, and Daniel's head parts were immediately opened, and blue splashed.
"Plop!" Daniel knelt on the ground and looked at you in disbelief.
"You lied to me... Connor! You lied to me!"
Kavor looked at Daniel's questioning and disappointed eyes through the screen, and his expression was stunned.
The compact background drum beats sounded, making his heart beat.
…………
After a long time, when he saw Connor leave expressionlessly and the prompt of mission completion was displayed, Kavor came back to his senses in surprise.
"Well, it seems that this game is not that simple."
[To be honest, when Daniel was hit, my heart also twitched. ]
[Yes, especially the other party's eyes, too real. ]
[I was wrong, I thought Rockstar's new plot would be a super-burning shooting game, I was superficial. ]
…………
A large number of comments from the audience floated out.
Kavor looked at the number of live broadcasts, which had reached more than one million, and his number of people was only more than 100,000.
The things in Apple City must not be concealed, and the mysterious Rockstar game platform has also entered the sight of countries around the world, both online and offline.
Therefore, when Rockstar's new online story game was released, many people who owned the game immediately followed the map to find it.
Basically, if there are players broadcasting, the traffic will not be less.
Players have also found another way to get rich.
…………
[The new game's reputation value has reached 10 million... 20 million... 30 million... 50 million...]
Merlin, who had just walked out of the hospital, felt like crying when he heard the reputation value flashing in his mind. When Morality and the Rule of Law was released, it was only 5 million in a month.
Now that the reputation has been spread, the reputation has skyrocketed as soon as the new game was released.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining medical bionic chip technology, security bionic chip technology, housekeeping bionic technology, fun bionic technology... bionic exoskeleton technology, blue blood energy technology. ]
[Intelligence +1+1+1+1+1]
A total of 50 million, just 5 points of intelligence.
And after this wave, basically all the science and technology related to bionics have been obtained.
Good guy, I have never been so rich.
It seems that the next time he does something, he will have to do something bigger.
"So happy to be discharged from the hospital?" Happy held Merlin's daily necessities and saw Merlin grinning in the sun. He wondered if the child had become stupid because of the hospitalization or had sequelae from the bombing.
"Oh, I thought of something happy." Merlin helped Happy put the luggage in the trunk and smiled.
"I'm really sorry for bothering you during this period of time."
"It's nothing, as long as you are safe."
After closing the trunk, Merlin sat in the back seat.
After Happy also sat in the main driver's seat, he suddenly thought of something and leaned forward to ask in a low voice: "Do you know about bionic people?"
"Bionic people? Smart girlfriend?"
"Yes!"
"Of course I know, but now except for silicone... um, the technology is not mature yet. If it comes out, I will definitely buy one." He seemed to feel a little out of place when he said it in the middle, and quickly changed the subject.
"What type do you like?"
"Of course, hot and sexy bodies." Happy answered without hesitation.
"OK, got it!" Merlin nodded and sat back.
"Why are you asking these questions?" Happy was a little confused.
"Just out of curiosity." Merlin waved his hand and said nothing more.
Happy shrugged and started the vehicle without paying much attention.
…………
…
“Green people’s lives matter! We need equality!!!”
"Everyone is equal!!! Green people cannot be discriminated against!"
"We are the victims!"
…………
When Happy arrived with Merlin and passed through the streets of Manhattan, a group of green-skinned and black people crowded on the street holding signs and began to march.
Over the past month, urban traffic and economy have gradually recovered.
As for the players, after the police investigated them, they imprisoned several people who had committed more serious crimes.
As for the Green Men... there were hundreds of thousands of them, and the cells were simply not large enough to hold them, and due to pressure, they were finally released with just a few words of warning.
But after being released, some green people encountered rejection from their relatives and fear and discrimination from passers-by when they returned home. In the end, some green people gathered other friends familiar with the situation and started to march on the streets.
It's still the familiar slogan, but it's changed from a black man to a green man.
Some associations also focused on the political power of these hundreds of thousands of people and began to intervene.
That’s how the black men in Green Men joined.
"This city is always so magical, but at least it's more reasonable than those environmentally friendly guys." Happy said casually as he saw the parade outside through the car window.
Merlin raised his eyebrows and looked thoughtfully at the green man outside.
…………
After returning home, Happy told him to pay attention to safety and then drove away.
Due to the transformation of Stark Industries, the company's stock price skyrocketed after the building was rebuilt, so Stark and Pepper were busy every day without touching the ground.
But Pepper was doing business for the company, while Stark was stuck in his villa studying the Transformers' spark.
After the war, most of the Decepticon camp, Starscream and the others fled the scene first. Only Confusion was torn into pieces by Ironhide and the others because the tank was bulky, and its fire was conveniently released by Merlin. In the R-Star Mall.
Of course, Stark simply bought the fire. After selling the Ark Reactor, he was worried that he had nowhere to spend his money.
I've been stuck at home recently, probably because I wanted to solve the problem of palladium poisoning.
Although the palladium element solves the biggest problem of cold nuclear fusion, if it is embedded in the body, the element will generate toxins, causing palladium poisoning.
Stark obviously wants to replace new elements by studying the energy contained in Cybertron's fire.
Or develop new energy sources.
…………
Merlin opened the door and saw that the house was neat and tidy. It was obvious that someone had helped clean it up during the month he was away.
Taking a bottle of Coke and sitting on the sofa, Merlin turned on the computer and began to think about making androids.
"Ding!" At this time, an email popped up, and the note was Hammer Industries.
[Hey, Merlin, I heard that you have been discharged from the hospital. Are you interested in attending the Monaco Formula 1 race next week? 】
The Monte Carlo circuit in Monaco is one of the four most famous circuits in the world. It uses streets as the track and is the shortest of the F1 circuits. It has the most famous tunnels and the slowest corners, which requires extremely strong skills. .
The championship at this station is also the dream of many racing drivers.
When Merlin saw this email, he roughly guessed some of Hammer's difficulties.
Originally, after Stark closed the weapons business, Hammer Industries had the opportunity to become the leader of the military industry. And with the surge in defense weapons orders, this is indeed the case.
But when Iron Man's identity was exposed, Hammer Industries was once again breathless with just a cold fusion energy source.
Some time ago, he also contacted members of Congress, hoping to convene a meeting through moral condemnation to ask Stark to hand over the Iron Man suit technology.
But he was humiliated in court.
All the embarrassing things that happened when Hammer Industries teamed up with the military to research mechanical armor were revealed.
…………
When he saw the email invitation sent by Justin Hammer, Merlin's eyes suddenly lit up while he was thinking.
If you are worried about the production of bionic humans, here comes the problem.
Merlin replied with an email and agreed.
As long as the problem of bionic humans is solved, the problem of mass production of satellites and weapons vehicles can also be solved.
"Huh... here is..."
"Hey hey hey..." The bionic technology cannot be wasted.
He quickly started modeling on the computer, Rem, King Da Mao, 02, Nezuko, Esdeath...
Put the professional chips aside for now.
"Ding!" But just when he had just chosen one to formulate a plan, a pop-up window popped up again.
But this time it was the mute one, so something happened offline.
From Los Santos?
Recently, offline development has begun towards Los Angeles, but we haven’t recruited players yet, we are just exploring it.
After clicking on it, there was a surveillance image. The shooting place was a relatively remote street at night. The surroundings were silent and there was no one around.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly shot out, but the next moment it fell to the ground as if it had suffered a heavy blow.
After Merlin saw the true face of the black shadow in the picture, he couldn't help but move closer.
"Alien?"
In the picture, a creature walked on two legs like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, with a body structure like a steel-cast skeleton, exposed teeth, a long skull sliding down to the back, sharp claws and bone spurs, and layers of bone whips like a natural killing weapon.
The reason for its sudden stop was a burly humanoid creature that slowly appeared. The other party wore a mask full of ancient blood and exuded the aura of a wild hunter.
Predator.
The two sides fought like savage beasts, and finally ended with the Predator taking off the head of the alien.
"Bang!"
"Zizizizi..." The surveillance was destroyed and the picture disappeared.
"Hmm... unexpected harvest!" Merlin looked at the photos of the alien and the Predator, and couldn't help showing excitement.
"Little mute, track them down and see if there are any other aliens. It would be better if we can find their lair."
Predator, alien...
He didn't care much about the Predator, but the aliens were the ones to play with...
…………
Because of the appearance of the aliens and the Predator, Merlin felt a little urgent and immediately began to design his own Transformers armor.
He planned to continue to transform Arcee, but this time he would not change the original form, but expand the body and engine and change it to the Gundam form.
At the same time, they would connect to achieve the effect of man-machine integration.
He did it as soon as he thought of it, and he immediately began to design the drawings according to the ideas in his mind.
…………
At night, Merlin returned to the Merlin Modification Shop. Because the shop was equipped with an electronic prevention and control system and was located in a remote area, it was well preserved.
"Hua La La..." The rolling door slowly rose, and Arcee quietly stopped at the workstation. Seeing that it was Merlin, he immediately transformed into a human form with joy.
"Merlin, are you okay?"
After the end, Optimus Prime took them away first and hid in Merlin's modification shop.
Optimus Prime was seriously injured, and they could only wait for Merlin to come back temporarily.
"It's fine now, go see the pillar." Merlin said, stroking his chin and staring at Arcee for a while, and began to imagine the other party's modification plan in his mind.
"Um...are you really okay?" Arcee was a little shy because of Merlin's burning eyes.
"Of course I'm fine, I just want to merge with you."
"Ah!?"
Merlin ignored Arcee who turned into a motorcycle, and was about to go to the backyard to find Optimus Prime and the others when the shutter door opened again.
A middle-aged man with a high hairline and wearing a formal suit walked in.
"Hello! I'm Coulson, my name is a bit long, you should know it." Cole took out his ID and introduced himself in a friendly way.
"Yes, I know, please come in." Merlin invited him into the store.
After Coulson entered the room, he paused at the modified Ducati at the workstation, then politely walked to the sofa and sat down.
"Would you like some Coke?"
"No, thank you, that would affect the growth of my scalp hair follicles."
Merlin couldn't help but smile, "You are really humorous, what's the matter?"
"I have been waiting for you, congratulations on your recovery."
"Thank you! But it's not a serious injury. I could have been discharged in half a month. Ms. Pepper kept stopping me."
Coulson exchanged pleasantries for a while, and when the atmosphere was about right, he got to the point.
"I came here this time to invite you to join a team of superheroes. Mr. Stark has agreed, and you are also on the candidate list."
"Superhero?" Merlin thought of something and took the document and looked at it.
The Avengers...
"Sure enough..." When he saw the English marked on the document, he raised his eyebrows in understanding.
"Becoming a candidate member will not have a big impact on your life. You just need to respond when you are needed."
"Of course, you will also have many privileges, such as all your violations can be written off."
Most of what Merlin did was illegal, including weapon and gun modification, vehicle modification, and becoming a partner with the platform.
Because the Apple City incident has not been settled, when it stabilizes, the platform partners will definitely be severely cracked down.
If I can't find the platform's backup and can't close the platform, I can always crack down on your offline cooperation.
And according to Natasha, the other party also privately developed armed helicopters, frequently hacked into the police system and monitoring, and planned mission plans.
"What you can give me, District 7 can also give me, this is not attractive." Merlin returned the plan and said indifferently.
Coulson was not surprised, and smiled calmly: "You should not know that District 7 has been disbanded in this month."
"Agent Simon who contacted you was also fired for dereliction of duty."
"Fired?" Merlin was a little surprised, and didn't expect it to be so fast.
"You probably don't want George to know about your affairs, so I'll go around him and come to you directly." Coulson pushed the plan back again.
Merlin: "…………"
"I'll think about it. The president of Hammer Industries also invited me today. Compared to joining an agent organization, I prefer to settle down and study." Merlin shook his head and pushed the plan back again.
"I believe Hammer Industries should be able to solve these problems for me."
"Well... OK, we respect your wishes." Coulson was stunned for a moment, but he didn't threaten anything. He calmly took back the plan and introduced his own contact information.
"If you want to join, you can contact me. I'm always here."
The current Hammer Industries can indeed solve Merlin's problems, even the previous ones.
"Okay! Is there anything else?" Merlin stood up and wanted to see him off.
Coulson looked at Arcee at the workstation and was about to speak, but a ring suddenly interrupted him.
"Sorry..." He took out his mobile phone and answered it.
Not long after, he put down the phone with regret.
"The team welcomes you to join at any time. I have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first." He shook hands with Merlin and then hurriedly left the store.
