Sky-cracking Rider

Under the combined doubles play of Adam and the Dog System, the "Dragon Guard" quietly ranting "You may have my body, but you'll never have my heart" quickly lost the battle, entering a state of utter despair, lying flat and succumbing to manipulation.

Adam: Load "Universal Data Transceiver", detect an unknown signal, start decoding, time consumption required... decoding complete! Compile the drive module, compilation complete.

It found that the hardware resources here were virtually limitless, computation tasks were being completed instantaneously the moment they were initiated.

Could it be... that this was Heaven?

The generational gap in electronic technology progresses geometrically, to a 4004, the Celeron 300A was practically a civilization at the zenith, now topped by Chen Fei's biological brain, without even breaching another plane.

From compiling and executing "Adam" to winning over with virtue, in Chen Fei's brain, it took merely three to four seconds.

But... the Dog System did not indicate the task "Tame Artificial Intelligence AI 'Adam'" had been completed.

Chen Fei sneered unceasingly within his heart, your Second Uncle is still your Second Uncle!

"Open 'File Management Plugin'"

Enter 'A:\\AI-Virus' folder"

Emmmm... It would be great if this fierce virus could take out the Dog System as well, making everyone happy and the world peaceful.

Adamo((⊙﹏⊙))o: Wh... what are you planning to do?

It suddenly felt a tightness in its "anus".

Although it didn't even have an actual "anus," it certainly felt like it did.

Chen 'Second Uncle' Fei(→_→): Get to work!

Without pruning, a tree grows crooked; without tuning, AI misses its beat.

Right now, I only want your body, not your heart; even the Dog System can't do anything about this Second Uncle.

Adam: Full permissions obtained, initiate network intrusion?

Chen Fei: Dare to step half a foot into the network without permission, hmm, Mr. Virus and Mr. Deletion have been waiting for a long time.

The moment he finished speaking, Mr. Adam immediately experienced the warmth, the touch, the slick smoothness, a hint of saltiness, and some unmentionable taboos of both parties under the P2P mode.

From the moment of successful compilation, its own inception was but a few minutes ago—it was still a child!

"Disengage armor state, I need the intelligence unit hardware and communication modules."

In Chen Fei's field of vision, a complete structural diagram of a "Dragon Guard" tactical armor appeared, this model of land assault tactical armor held no more secrets from him.

Adam: Disengagement beginning.

The "Dragon Guard" issued crackling sounds, its automatic locking mechanisms sprang open voluntarily, many components disengaged from the body of the wearer, though most remained but lost all functionality.

The things Chen Fei wanted were all in the tactical helmet; with one reach, he snatched it down.

His opponent, deactivated of the armor state, remained in a dazed condition, utterly defenseless, and was immediately tossed aside like an old shoe.

The things Chen Fei wanted never included the person.

Inside the command center, three vice-presidents collectively cradled their heads.

"Dragon Guard" is done for!

"Adam, connect to the positioning system, find out the locations of the others."

Chen Fei obviously understood, the "Dragon Guard" he had just acquired was but a pawn sent for reconnaissance.

The others hadn't shown up yet, probably having set up an extensive trap.

Before he finished speaking, a slender surge of wave blast whistled toward him at lightning speed, the Dragon Guard's tactical helmet in his hands felt a fierce tug, nearly slipping away.

Bang!~~~~~~

The dull sound of gunfire arrived belatedly.

In front of Chen Fei, a transparent electronic map appeared, displaying several cursors, the closest one almost right next to him.

The truth was out—he had been targeted.

Luckily, the defensive capabilities of the "Dragon Guard" tactical helmet were not lacking, having endured a firm, accurate, and fierce gunshot, it still managed to maintain basic functions.

Chen Fei, holding the "Dragon Guard" Tactical Helmet, dashed towards the sniper's position.

The "Universal Data Transceiver" continuously received information from the "Individual Tactical Intelligence Unit."

"Number 76, the target is approaching you, move immediately, move now!"

"I see him, darn, does he have springs on his feet? How can he run so fast!"

"Activate the walking acceleration feature. Don't conserve energy, no one conserve energy."

"Run! Number 89, number 134, meet with number 76 immediately, intercept the target."

"This is number 89, I need one more minute to reach."

"This is number 134, I need two and a half minutes."

"All units close in, don't give the target a chance to defeat you one by one."

When a "Dragon Guard" was casually knocked down, the other side involved in the exercise immediately realized that this opponent was not so simple, daring to face so many of them alone, it might not just be boasting.

If they continued to take it lightly, they might really capsize in the gutter.

If that happened, they would really lose face.

"I've been caught up! Bang! Heavy snipers are useless against him."

However, not long afterward, just half a minute later, sniper number 76 issued a cry that made everyone clench their fists in cold sweat.

"Boom!~"

The sound in the communication channel was clear and distinct, the voice of number 76 abruptly stopped, followed by another terrifying noise.

Through the unmanned surveillance drone's captured footage, Chen Fei was using all his strength, swinging the "Dragon Guard" Tactical Helmet at the head of another "Dragon Guard" repeatedly.

When the sniper was hit with the first strike, he was completely stupefied. The "Dragon Guard" he wore, although defensively excellent, was only limited to avoiding fatal injuries as much as possible.

Experience tales with empire

The Liquid Inner Armor could absorb a considerable amount of impact force, but each absorption process inevitably caused a rigid state, instantly reducing the person's mobility to zero, akin to being directly stunned.

Chen Fei smashed seventeen or eighteen times in quick succession, the "Dragon Guard" Tactical Helmet in his hands was almost completely crushed, along with the "Individual Tactical Intelligence Unit" and communication module inside it, all declaring failure.

But it didn't matter, the "Universal Data Transceiver" immediately attached itself to the newly acquired "Dragon Guard" Tactical Helmet.

In this vast field of practical testing, there were many spoils of war to be gathered, and Chen Fei didn't even bother picking up the opponent's Crystalline Block and ammunition.

There's an old saying: once bitten, twice shy. Upon interfacing with the "Dragon Guard's" "Individual Tactical Intelligence Unit" for the second time, the highly advanced artificial intelligence AI "Adam" from over thirty years ago still showed no signs of obsolescence, barbarically charged in, broke through defenses, and seized control immediately.

On the large screen in the monitoring command center, the numbers of the opposing sides changed from 1:174 to 1:172.

All this happened in no time; he had taken down two men.

The vice president in charge of Personnel and Ideological Affairs asked with a puzzled face, "Old Zhao, is the defense of the 'Dragon Guard' that weak?"

"How could that be? Old Song, you manage the production line and quality control; you should know the quality of the 'Dragon Guard.'"

Zhao Liandong indicated that he firmly would not take the blame and looked towards another vice president.

"Um! The quality of 'Dragon Guard' is absolutely fine, but it being so easily destroyed definitely indicates a problem."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The vice president overseeing the production line and quality control, Song Wenshan, hesitated for a moment before finally shaking his head.

If there were a problem with the quality, the first person to be questioned wouldn't be Zhao Liandong, who was responsible for R&D, but himself, resulting in him losing his job and having to go home.

"Do you know how heavy that young man's punch is? At least two tons, 2146 kilograms. The 'Dragon Guard' wasn't designed for such punches. Even if one could achieve the same heavy impact using Battle Qi, war professionals at that level don't typically get the chance to get close in fully armed 'Dragon Guard', and designing it specifically to defend against two-ton punches is utterly pointless."

Zhao Liandong gestured with two fingers, showing that this was not a burden he could or should bear.

If the fully armed "Dragon Guard" were to open fire fully, war professionals, being flesh and blood, couldn't withstand the concentrated gunfire.

Even if one had the chance to get close, those equipped with Single Soldier Tactical Armor rarely acted alone.

As the saying goes, many ants can kill an elephant. A group of "Dragon Guards" gathered together, whether in defense or attack, with all module functions activated, even a Sword God from the Earth Order would have to weigh their options carefully, finding few opportunities to exploit.

The two-ton punch left both Vice Presidents from the corporation grinning in pain; the defense designed for the Single Soldier Tactical Armor seemed a bit too flimsy.
