“All organs have also been replaced, which can automatically provide different levels of hormonal support based on the intensity of combat, keeping you always in the best condition.”

“Other areas, like the nervous system, skin, muscle groups, etc., have also been replaced accordingly. Let’s put it this way, you’re a little superhuman now~”

After hearing this, Dongdong clenched her little fists with joy, “Yay! Next time I run into those big lizards, I can face them head-on without having to think!”

Su Mo laughed heartily at this.

He had heard Dongdong talk about her clever tactics against the Spiritual Brain Modifier.

When playing the game “Dawn” before, Su Mo always thought Dongdong was a brainless berserker, only capable of charging in headfirst.

But after the TL730 trip, Su Mo realized that her little brain was actually quite sharp, just usually too lazy to use it.

Future patted Dongdong’s shoulder and continued, “Besides the substantial enhancement of physical performance, this Profound Cat-type Artificial Body has two special features. One is that the end of the spine has been specially treated with the addition of a tail.”

“Huh? Tail?” Dongdong instinctively looked behind.

There she saw a black cat tail behind her, fluffy, slender, and swaying constantly with her movements.

“Whoa! What is this??!!” She clumsily tried to grab the tail, but as she turned, the tail turned with her, causing her to spin in circles without being able to catch it.

Su Mo and KK laughed so hard they slapped their thighs, “Ahahaha! This designer must have some special fetish!”

Dongdong blushed with anger, shaking the collars of the two, “Do not laugh! Laugh again and I’ll beat you!”

Su Mo stifled his laughter and pretended to be calm, “Dongdong, stand still, let me show you something.”

He switched his phone to camera mode, handed it to KK, and subtly signaled him with his eyes.

KK blinked, understanding immediately.

Su Mo cleared his throat, walked behind Dongdong, and squatted down.

Suddenly, he made the V-sign with his hands, reaching from her head, posing as cat ears.

“Click.” KK pressed the shutter at the right moment.

The two scissors above the head, the undetectable black cat tail, plus her petite figure, made the picture of Dongdong resemble a cosplaying catgirl.

“Ahahaha!!!” Su Mo saw the photo and laughed so hard he almost split, “I’m going to print this photo and put it in our Edge Mercenary Corps’ brochure~”

“Ugh!…” Dongdong’s face turned as red as a tomato, angrily swinging a leg towards Su Mo’s crotch, “Go to hell!”

After her full-body artificial body replacement, Dongdong was extremely fast, nearly causing Su Mo to miss his dodge. He clenched his legs tightly, scrambling to retreat to a corner, “I was wrong, I was wrong. I won’t print it; I’ll just keep it as my phone wallpaper. Is that okay?”

Dongdong puffed her cheeks, stomping her feet in frustration, “What kind of perverted designer adds a tail for no reason?!”

Future languidly replied, “This tail’s scientific name is bionic artificial tail. It’s not for decoration but actually has very practical use.”

“The bionic artificial tail helps the body maintain balance and enhances movement ability. The tail of the Profound Cat-type Artificial Body is very special; try entering the neural system interface and switch it to combat mode.”

Dongdong stood silently, her bionic eyes flashing arcs of electricity, apparently performing some internal operation.

Suddenly, the black cat tail behind her started to change form, mechanical units flipping to reveal a special metal within, transforming into a sharp, hooked mechanical stinger tail.

Future nodded, “Exactly. The tail of the Profound Cat-type Artificial Body can be controlled by the implanter, performing sweeping, thrusting, and other attack actions in combat mode.”

“See the sharpness of this artificial tail’s tip and those mechanical barbs? At full power, it can penetrate 20cm-thick alloy steel plates. When it hits a person, it’s more powerful than a bullet, tearing off massive chunks of flesh once pulled out.”

“This design is very similar to the Blade Hunters of the Black Domain Group. I suspect the artificial body designer drew inspiration from those mechanical ferocious beasts.”

Having fought closely with a Blade Hunter before, Dongdong knew how powerful that stinger tail was.

The thought of having acquired similar weaponry brought some balance to her heart.

Even though suddenly gaining a tail felt a bit embarrassing, she liked wearing long coats usually, so she could just hide the tail underneath, making it less awkward.

Future continued, “The second special feature of the Profound Cat-type Artificial Body is that your body can emit electricity, with voltage intensity adjustable to suit various battlefield environments. Let’s go outside and try it.”

The group headed to an outdoor open space.

Dongdong took a deep breath. Suddenly, blue light burst from her eyes, dazzling arcs of electricity began to leap across her arms, and even from a few meters away, the group could feel their hair standing and a faint tingling sensation on their skin.

“Kinda cool!” Dongdong cheerfully jumped around.

She gripped a baseball bat, releasing electricity again.

“Sizzle sizzle—” This time, not only her body but the surface of the dragon steel baseball bat also started to exhibit arc trails.

Su Mo joked, “Oh wow, an electric enchantment, right?”

Future reminded, “According to the official manual, releasing electricity consumes a large amount of energy. Over-discharge will cause the power core to enter a low-power operation mode.”

“In low-power mode, the performance of your entire artificial body will be reduced. So remember, electric attacks shouldn’t be used too frequently in a short time; take it easy.”

“Got it, understood.” Dongdong swung the electrified baseball bat and joked, “Ahh~ I really wanna find something to practice on, see the power of electricity.”

Having said that, she flashed a vengeful grin, staring straight at Su Mo.

Su Mo: “Huh?”

Seeing Dongdong holding a crackling, sparking bat, the smile vanished from Su Mo’s face, “No, why would you make Future create a target for testing current data and practice on me instead?”

Dongdong, unaffected by her own current after the modification, tapped the baseball bat on her palm and chuckled mischievously, “What’s the fun in looking at data? Watching a real reaction is more interesting.”

Su Mo knew Dongdong was getting back at him for the photo earlier and forced a smile, “Dong, taking your catgirl picture was wrong of me. How about this: I’ll buy a cat tail tomorrow, put it on, and you can take a picture of me. Wouldn’t that make us even?”

Dongdong scoffed, “Pfft, who wants a photo of you with a cat tail, pervert! Hurry up and take the zap!”

At this point, KK intervened, stepping in front of Su Mo, “Don’t bully the big brother; zap me instead.”

Dongdong waved him away, “You stay out of it. With your small frame, we’d fry you to a crisp.”

She glared at Su Mo, “Are you gonna let me zap you or not?”

Su Mo put on a shameless face, “No.”

“Alright, then I’ll…” Dongdong paused mid-sentence, looking past Su Mo, “Eh, who are you guys looking for?”

“Hmm?” Su Mo turned to check.

“Sizzle!!!” A surge of heat and tingling shot up from his buttocks, making Su Mo jump several meters high and run around shrieking, clutching his behind.

Dongdong retracted the bat, laughing hysterically as she slapped her thighs, “Your butt is smoking like a roast suckling pig! Oh, I’m dying of laughter! Just 5% current intensity is so fun; at full power, wouldn’t it actually fry someone?”

Future shook his head and mused, “I don’t know if the boss can take it, but it can definitely kill an elephant instantly.”

Su Mo, clutching his backside, bore a look of grievance.

Having been at fault for taking Dongdong’s embarrassing photo initially, he could only swallow his pride now.

Dongdong and KK were still kids with a strong sense of play, teasing and chasing each other around.

Su Mo was just about to call everyone back for dinner when his phone rang unexpectedly.

It was Haywood.

Su Mo answered, “Haywood, long time no see.”

On the other end, Haywood’s calm voice replied, “Su Mo, brother, are you free? Come join me for a meal.”

Su Mo asked, “Why, is there something to discuss?”

Haywood, “Oh no, just haven’t seen you in a while, wanted to catch up over a meal.”

Su Mo joked, “You’re inviting me for a meal out of the blue for no reason; it’s making me nervous.”

Haywood: “Don’t say that. Tank and the others miss you too. Come quickly; we’ve prepared a table full of food that you’ll definitely love.”

Su Mo: “Alright, I’ll be there shortly.”

He hung up and turned around, “I’ve got a dinner meeting; you guys go ahead and eat without me.”

“Okay, bye-bye,” KK and the others waved their hands.
