The floor was spotless, with no bloodstains, only some bullet marks on the walls.
Only from this can we tell that it seems there was just a battle.
"How did they manage to do that?"
V was greatly surprised.
"Could it be that Bai Zhi who burned all of them to the ground?"
Thinking of the guard who turned into wisps of smoke, V suddenly felt that this guess was somewhat reasonable.
Chapter 391 Learning Ether Editing Techniques
"Why have I been the one fighting all this way, Silver Wolf? When are you going to show off your skills?"
On the 15th floor of the deserted building, Bai Zhi idly stretched her palms, flicked out a flame, and instantly burned the attacking enemy to ashes.
While a one-sided victory is great, this kind of game is just too boring.
It gives you the feeling of opening your main account and going back to the newbie village to kill low-level accounts.
At most, it was fun at first, but then it became boring.
If she hadn't accompanied Silver Wolf to retrieve that chip, she wouldn't have bothered coming all this way to do this.
"Me? Do you want to see me fight?"
"It's not impossible, but it might be too violent."
"Violence?"
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow. She remembered that in the game, Silver Wolf wasn't exactly a violent character.
Basically, when fighting enemies, one always maintains an elegant and carefree attitude.
There are also various pixel-style attacks, which don't seem to be related to cruelty at all.
"Yes, my fighting style may not be so friendly to the people here."
"For example, like this..."
At the end of the corridor, several guards from the Arasaka Group, dressed in heavy protective gear, rushed over, armed with guns, ready to unleash a barrage of fire on Silver Wolf and Bai Zhi.
“Da da da da”
The sound of bullets being fired rang out, and thanks to the prosthetics, the bullets were aimed at the two men's heads with exceptional precision.
But then, just as the bullets were about to hit the Silver Wolf, a pixelated ripple appeared around them.
Then, the bullets disappeared.
? !
The guards of the abandoned board company looked surprised, but immediately, they felt as if they had been hit hard on the back of the head.
Bai Zhi, however, saw it clearly. Behind the guards of the Huangban Company, the pixelated ripples reappeared, and the bullets that had just disappeared emerged from them.
"Ether editing technology can edit reality to a certain extent."
"This includes rewriting the position of objects, as well as rewriting some object properties, for example... like this!"
Silver Wolf stretched out his hand, and a large cube appeared on the head of the guard from the abandoned board company, then slammed heavily into the man's body.
Silver Wolf then pointed his arm sword at his opponent and fired a bullet made of quantum energy.
This is not surprising, as most people who are destined for greatness use such things.
But something else caught Bai Zhi's attention.
That is, the enemy's armor is as thin as paper.
That's right, paper in every sense, whether for defense or physical purposes.
When Silver Wolf's quantum energy struck the opponent's body, the opponent's armor was easily torn apart like brittle paper.
"Did you do anything to his armor?"
"You guessed right. That's right, I just modified his armor. That's the power of Ether editing technology."
"His mixed fabric armor could have blocked my attacks to some extent."
“But before that, I had injected the etheric editing into his body and armor, turning the armor’s properties into paper.”
"That's pretty impressive..."
Bai Zhi exclaimed in admiration; she genuinely felt that way.
This ether editing technology has a feel of the magic of immortals in mythological novels, turning hard armor into something as fragile as paper.
It can even modify the physical properties of many things.
"Hmm, that's for sure, but most people can't do what I do."
Silver Wolf proudly boasted about himself.
"Just like companies, they also have some Ether editing technology, but they usually achieve this effect through various instruments."
“Besides this kind of fighting, I can use another method, but that might be too cruel for these people.”
"What is it?"
"It's simple, we used data streams to blow their brains out of their heads."
Silver Wolf snapped his fingers, and another block landed on a guard from a deserted company who had just emerged from around the corner.
This time, however, after the block fell, the guard was not able to continue attacking with his gun like the first one.
Instead, he immediately covered his head and began to wail.
Then, with a "bang," the other person's head exploded.
"Simply stuff endless junk data into the other person's brain via Ether editing, unless the other person is someone like Screwgun who can process the data instantly."
"Otherwise, they will either be mentally confused for a period of time, or they will be completely unable to bear it and their brains will explode."
"That's why I said my fighting style might be a little bit violent."
Silver Wolf shrugged.
If her attack were in the Star Iron World, those Fate Walkers would have some resistance and wouldn't have their heads blown off so easily.
But in this world, she didn't seem to see any destined travelers.
These ordinary people are clearly unable to withstand the terrifyingly massive amount of data left behind by the EtherEdit.
The final result was either their heads exploded, or, due to the sheer volume of data, they were turned into roasted brains.
"Hmm... I find it quite interesting, Silver Wolf. Is this ether editing technique easy to learn?"
Bai Zhi thought for a moment and then said seriously.
If she remembered correctly, Ether editing was still an emerging technology in the universe, one that Punklord hackers could use, so there was no reason why she couldn't learn it.
"You want to learn this?"
"think"
Bai Zhi nodded. To be fair, this thing, although its attack power was not as good as her flames or other methods, was still effective.
However, in terms of sheer coolness, aside from the God, she might not be able to compare.
There's a saying that goes, "Strength is temporary, but being handsome and good-looking lasts a lifetime."
If you can learn this skill, it would be a good choice to use it occasionally.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Does this require some special talent?"
"No, no, no, I just think you're very courageous. Most girls aren't that interested in this kind of skill."
"why?"
"Because achieving this effect requires a lot of real-time calculations, and if you're not good at math or have a good brain..."
Silver Wolf shrugged, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"Many of the powerful hackers in Punk Lords are bald, and some are unkempt. People like me who know how to dress themselves and have an amazing amount of hair are very rare."
"But..."
Silver Wolf looked Bai Zhi up and down. "With your healing abilities, you definitely won't go bald."
"As for the ether editing technology, it's not exactly a closely guarded secret. If you really want to learn it, I can teach you some. But a master can only guide you through the door; the rest is up to you."
Chapter 392 What kind of game world is this?
"But now is not the time to think about that. It seems like a mini-boss has appeared over there."
"Oh, this guy is documented online, his name is Adam Hammer."
"But these guys, coming one after another, always give me the feeling that I've encountered a monster-killing mechanic in a game."
Looking at Adam's Heavy Hammer approaching step by step in the distance, causing the ground to tremble, Silver Wolf muttered to himself speechlessly.
"Maybe the game really did refresh."
Bai Zhi glanced at the message Ji Zi had sent her and shrugged.
That was footage taken after Himeko fired the railgun.
There are some very wonderful things in this world.
This can be seen, at least from the satellite cameras attached to the railgun.
Apart from Night City, the rest of the world has a blurry, pixelated feel, like a low-poly model in a game.
So, many people in this world might actually have been selected through a process of elimination.
"Hmm?" Silver Wolf looked at Bai Zhi with some confusion.
"Isn't the world just a game?"
Bai Zhi quickly added a comment.
"That's right, that's the essence of our hacking with EtherEdit: treating the world like a game."
Upon hearing this, Silver Wolf gave Bai Zhi a thumbs up.
"Two little bugs, how dare they trespass here."
Through Adam's hammer-like vision and the analysis attached to the prosthetics, he could clearly see that Bai Zhi and Yin Lang's bodies had not undergone any prosthetic modifications.
Although he didn't know how the two had managed to get in here, he was very confident in his own abilities.
Those guys who died were nothing but empty shells, good-looking but useless pieces of trash.
As the pinnacle of cybernetic modification, he is incomparable to those trash.
"To be fair, he really fits the role of a game boss, coming right off the bat with harsh words, and he's also the kind of person who doesn't think straight."
Upon hearing Adam's words about the heavy hammer, Bai Zhi looked at the silver wolf speechlessly.
The two of us came up here unarmed, and this guy still had the nerve to spout such threatening remarks.
This guy is supposed to be a legend in Night City, how come he's like this?
Silver Wolf nodded in deep agreement.
At that moment, V also sneaked up from the corner of the stairwell.
The moment it touched him, before it even came into Adam's line of sight, this guy started talking:
"Ha, another little bug has arrived. Come on, all of you, prepare to die!"
"Isn't something wrong with him?"
Bai Zhi stroked her chin. This guy had been talking big since the beginning, but he just kept staring at her with his eyes fixed on her, without showing any sign of attacking.
“There is indeed a problem. I detected some abnormal data on him.”
Silver Wolf pulled up a series of virtual screens, displaying a lot of gibberish.
"The EtherEditor was unable to analyze some things about him."
"I need Prometheus to help me with the calculations. Wait a moment, if he attacks, block him, but don't kill him."
