Chapter 278: Chapter 256: Cyber

Bartmos calmly said, "Is your next line going to be ’humans eat and defecate, so essentially humans are compost fermenters. Humans fart so essentially they are greenhouse gas emitters’?"

"Congratulations on learning how to buzz in."

Li Cheng nodded in appreciation, feeling a sense of gratification as if teaching a promising young pupil, while quickly scanning the surrounding green light lines with his Information Integration Glasses to spot vulnerabilities.

"Heh, try to stay alive first."

Bartmos chuckled indifferently, raising his palm straight out and then suddenly clasping it shut.

An invisible force radiated from him, spreading out in all directions.

Vending machines, water level monitors, pest control detectors, electronic map screens... All electronic devices lit up with green data lines, interconnected to form a staggering, massive network.

[Skill Name: Cyber Secret Scroll·Complete Domain Name]

This skill was a secret technique exclusive to the Whale Song Guild, capable of datafying an entire area and significantly enhancing the Caster’s capabilities for a certain period of time.

Bartmos could feel the ripples of water, the flow of the wind, with his perception sensitivity maximized.

This allowed his reaction speed to keep up with Transcendents whose basic Attribute was far superior to his, like at this moment, Li Cheng and Gray Rain were rushing at him from the left and right.

[Skill Name: Cyber Secret Scroll·Redefined Virtual Function]

Bartmos held his hands out as if gripping something, with green light erupting from his palms, tracing an hourglass shape.

He fiercely spun the hourglass, altering the gravity function within this domain, redirecting the gravity that normally pointed downward to the sky.

"Ugh?!"

Gray Rain, whose arms had transformed into chainsaws, was lightly suspended, and then rapidly accelerated upwards towards the blue sky.

Li Cheng, quick as lightning, hooked his foot around the metal leg of a roadside bench to stabilize his form while the Multi-threaded Brain Domain Method allocated a thread of consciousness for rapid thought.

Many leaves and fruits drifted skyward, and upon close observation, one could notice that these all came from the relatively taller trees.

Low shrubs, fallen leaves on the ground, water in the lake, soil, etc., remained unaffected.

In other words, the change in gravity was limited to above ground level.

Thought did not slow down Li Cheng’s action. He activated the Assembly Puppet Effect, linking himself with the park bench and the concrete base underneath it to form a single entity,

and like a bolt, he fired the Hook Gun, hitting Gray Rain who was floating in midair.

The local change in gravity meant that the steel cable of the Hook Gun alone couldn’t lift Gray Rain, weighing over 800 kilograms, but there was no need to pull with brute force.

"Come up."

Li Cheng uttered a low command; Gray Rain immediately understood, liquefying her body to wrap around the steel cable of the Hook Gun, and swiftly climbing up the cable to touch the soil again.

The Liquid Metal dug into the soil layer, spreading and extending like plant roots, forming a solid root system sufficient to secure Gray Rain’s form.

"That was close, almost ascended to heaven."

Gray Rain stuck her tongue out, though as a Liquid Metal Robot, she wouldn’t typically die in normal circumstances. But if she truly flew out of the atmosphere, there was still a possibility of becoming an artificial satellite.

Bartmos did not take this opportunity to launch an attack but hovered in midair,

with six additional arms growing out from the scapular region of his digital green phantom, and eight hands weaving some data at a bewildering speed.

It was clear he was preparing a powerful skill; Li Cheng pulled out an AK assault rifle and squeezed the trigger at Bartmos.

The Demon-breaking Bullets, blessed by high monks, hit the green phantom, but they squashed into copper discs without effect.

"This is Cyber Secret Technique·TM Lock."

Bartmos’s voice resonated through the loudspeaker in the bushes, "The TM Lock in computer terminology refers to the table-level lock in Oracle databases, mainly used to lock the table at the start of a transaction to ensure other transactions cannot modify the same table before the transaction is complete.

In reality, it means injury immunity."

The hacker was obviously very confident in his abilities, even taking the time to explain the principle of the skill to Li Cheng. On that almost indiscernible face, a smile seemed to form.

"And what I’m doing now is the Cyber Secret Technique·Super Link, capable of directly import prepared elements from afar."

As Bartmos spoke, the green data in his hands gradually took shape, turning into a sci-fi style heavy firearm.

It featured a sharply angular structure, an octagonal barrel, and a bore lined with flashing green light.

Within the Information Integration Glasses, the name of the gun was clearly displayed.

[Fractal Compression Gun][Magazine capacity 30/30]

Fractal Compression in the field of computer graphics is an image compression method based on fractals, succinctly put it finds a special iterative system for the original image, and then an arbitrary image after multiple iterations through this system produces the original image.

It’s more suitable for compressing images of natural landscapes (such as mountains, flowers, trees, etc., which have repetitive patterns), but due to its significantly slower compression and decompression speed compared to JPEG, it’s not widely used.

Seeing the name of the firearm, Li Cheng vaguely guessed its purpose and quickly pushed Gray Rain while firing the Bat Hook to leave his original position.

Buzz!

Bartmos pulled the trigger, and the Fractal Compression Gun emitted a fierce green beam of light.

The park bench hit by the beam shattered instantly, degenerating into rectangular wooden planks and iron pieces, falling towards the sky under the force of gravity.

Buzz!

The Compression Gun fired again, the beam grazing past Li Cheng’s flank, hitting the calm surface of the lake.

A large portion of the lake’s water instantly boiled, first surging high into countless large droplets, which were then sliced into smaller droplets, and those small droplets cut even further, turning into a misty haze.
