Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars?

Chapter 14 – Real Potential For Endless Wealth!_1

Supercharge Module?

Jiang Chen recalled the reward he had received at the end of the basic trial.

He had been too busy resting earlier and hadn’t checked the specific details. Now, triggered by the reminder, he immediately touched the Abyss Rune.

Lines of text appeared before his eyes.

[Roots Core (Supercharged)]

[Rank: 1]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Type: Core Module]

[Effect One: The Mecha gains a self-repair ability, regenerating 0.1 Armor Value every second when not in a damaged state. The regeneration speed doubles under sunlight.]

[Effect Two: When the Mecha evolves/upgrades, there is a low probability of obtaining a wood-attribute evolution/upgrade module based on the module combination.]

[Effect Three: When the supercharged module is applied to a low-ranked Mecha, it can still exhibit the effects of a module one rank higher.]

[Description: I am the Roots!]

Isn’t this too powerful?

Model Zero’s Roots Core Module also has the ability to self-repair, but its speed is only 0.01/s.

To restore nine points of Armor Value, it would take nine hundred seconds, or fifteen minutes.

Under sunlight, it’s seven and a half minutes.

This is already very strong, requiring only a short rest after a battle to save a great deal of repair items.

But…

The 1st Rank Roots Core Module is even more exaggerated!

The repair speed is ten times that of the 0th Rank. Under sunlight, it only takes forty-five seconds to repair nine points of Armor Value!

This means that even if the enemy almost destroys the Mecha in battle, as long as Jiang Chen holds out for a bit, he can fully restore all Armor Value!

Xie Minglei’s voice rang out beside him.

“Every time a module is enhanced by one rank, both its attributes and effects undergo a tremendous change,” he said.

“The benefits brought by a high rank module can be thousands, even tens of thousands of times greater than that of a low rank module!”

“But…”

“A Mecha limits the module’s capabilities.”

“It’s like computer components; if other components are not up to speed, then even if you add the most high-end graphics card, you can’t utilize its full effect, and you might even encounter compatibility issues.”

“It’s the same with modules. Even if you install 7th Rank or 8th Rank premium modules onto a 0th Rank Mecha, they can only perform as 0th Rank modules.”

“This is undoubtedly an enormous waste of resources.”

“That’s why, even top mecha pilots rarely do this.”

As Xie Minglei spoke, a hint of envy appeared in his eyes.

“But the Supercharge Module is different.”

“It possesses a supercharge effect, which allows it to exhibit the power of a module one rank higher even when installed on a low-ranked Mecha!”

“Not only that, the module itself has growth potential.”

“When the Mecha upgrades in rank, the module will be absorbed as a permanent ability, following the Mecha’s rank improvement and receiving corresponding enhancement.”

“In other words, the Supercharge Module will always have power that is one rank higher than that of the Mecha.”

“Even if it reaches 7th Rank or even 8th Rank Mecha, it’s equivalent to an 8th Rank or 9th Rank module!”

“It’s just a pity that the production of Supercharge Modules is extremely rare; the probability is extremely close to zero.”

“The only known stable source of Supercharge Modules is achieving an SSS-class evaluation during the basic trial.”

“Moreover, the Supercharge Modules produced via this method are core modules, which are most important to the Mecha.”

Jiang Chen suddenly understood.

Just how strong a module is that’s one rank higher.

By comparing two Roots Core Modules directly, you can see.

A Mecha equipped with a Supercharge Module is like wearing a growable god-tier piece of gear with no rank, instantly possessing attributes and powers that transcend those of the same rank!

Add the talents of a mecha pilot, and one could definitely be invincible within the same rank!

Jiang Chen had already understood the importance of a Supercharge Module.

But he didn’t expect that Xie Minglei hadn’t finished speaking and continued.

“Moreover, you should know that each time a Mecha advances, it undergoes an evolution and reveals a new form.”

“In fact, besides evolving…”

“When a Mecha upgrades from 0th Rank to 1st Rank, 3rd Rank to 4th Rank, and 6th Rank to 7th Rank, it also undergoes a Mecha Upgrade.”

“Upgrade not only carries all the effects of evolution, but it is also the only opportunity for a Mecha to improve its [Quality].”

“During this process, the Supercharge Module still has an effect.”

“Ordinary model Zero Mecha upgrades have a chance of improving the quality from Common to Excellent.”

“A Mecha equipped with a Supercharge Module, as long as it is paired with the right module, can steadily elevate its quality to Excellent and may even have a chance of reaching the Outstanding level!”

There was no need for Xie Minglei to further explain what quality meant.

Jiang Chen had already completely understood what a Supercharge Module is.

It’s not just a module.

But it was the Mecha’s “Ascension to Divinity”.

Only a mecha equipped with a Supercharge Module could possess the capability and potential to surpass everything and ascend to the god-like status of divine mechs!

No wonder the alliance placed such importance on him, with 7th Rank big shots sending mechas over to protect him closely.

No wonder Xie Minglei constantly mentioned the SSS-class rating with such envy.

However, Jiang Chen also had some doubts.

If the Supercharge Module was so precious, it wasn’t bound to any particular item.

As a rookie mecha pilot, owning such a tool was undoubtedly like a child holding gold in the marketplace. Wouldn’t someone try to rob him?

Facing Jiang Chen’s doubts.

Xie Minglei shook his head.

“Before you came along, there were a total of eight SSS-class rookies.”

“Among them, five had their Supercharge Modules stolen, and two died as a result.”

“However…”

“The remaining three SSS-class rookies, though they lost their Supercharge Modules, all grew and became the world’s top 8th Rank mecha pilots.”

“The strongest among them, steering his own Divine Lord Mecha, killed five 8th Rank mecha pilots who had seized and equipped Supercharge Modules, and destroyed five mecha pilot forces, thus achieving his revenge.”

“He is today’s strongest mecha pilot, the symbol of the alliance, the promoter of the ‘New Talent Protection Act’…”

“Indeed, it was he who made people realize that compared to a Supercharge Module, the person who could possess it was the true talent.”

“Therefore, the alliance internally prohibits guiding and snatching the Supercharge Modules by any means.”

“Unless you come up with the idea yourself and decide to sell it.”

Doesn’t 30 years in the east and 30 years in the west mean not to bully the poor newcomers?

No wonder Senior Xie only talked about the rarity and power of the Supercharge Module, without any thoughts of acquiring it.

It turns out there already was a predecessor with the template of a fortunate novel’s male lead who had thoroughly blazed the trail ahead,

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but admire that symbol of the alliance, and at the same time, he was curious.

What was that person’s mecha pilot talent?

Without a Supercharge Module, he could still annihilate peers?

Xie Minglei said with a smile.

“Brother Jiang, you achieved an SSS-class rating in the basic trials and obtained the Supercharge Module, your potential will quickly materialize.”

“Whether it’s 0th Rank, 1st Rank, 2nd Rank…”

“You will definitely reach the invincible state within your Rank!”

“You can brave high-difficulty abysses that other mecha pilots cannot touch, and gain extremely high evaluations, acquiring rare rewards.”

“Rare modules, materials, items…”

“These things would even excite the top-notch 8th Rank mecha pilots!”

“Because, when they were low-ranked, they absolutely could not be as strong as you now, unable to get the highest quality materials for low ranks.”

“After upgrading, they fall into a deeper layer of the abyss and can’t act in the shallower layers anymore.”

“They forever lose the chance to explore the shallower abyss.”

“But when they build new mechas, they need low-rank materials…”

“For them, even if they can substitute with high-rank materials, the cost-effectiveness is far inferior to directly purchasing low-rank materials with contributions.”

“The effect is the same, the price is lower.”

“So, Brother Jiang, you don’t have to worry about contributions at all.”

“With your abilities, clearing some high-difficulty abysses will enable you to exchange the modules and materials obtained for a large amount of contributions…”

From the side, Ruan Mingyu’s voice also came through the Bai Ying mecha.

“He’s right.”

“I’ve recently broken through to the 7th Rank and am still preparing upgrade materials for my mecha, not having started to build my seventh mecha piece.”

“If you obtain high-quality materials from the abyss and decide to sell them, I hope to have a look first.”

“I’m willing to pay a premium for them.”

“Of course, if you’re willing to take orders, that would be even better.”

“There are a few high-difficulty outputs from the low-rank abysses that I need, and the recent low-ranked mecha pilots are too weak to clear them…”

Jiang Chen finally understood why Senior Xie said he really wouldn’t lack contributions.

Trading the gains from the abyss with peers of the same rank.

How could it earn more than selling directly to the big shots, the 7th and 8th Rank mecha pilots?

The mecha pilot profession is, after all, very costly.

Without money, how can one sustain the expenses for so many mechas?

So, there might be weak high-rank mecha pilots, but there are definitely no poor high-rank mecha pilots!

When they want to obtain a certain low-rank material, the payment they offer is substantial enough to make Jiang Chen’s profits overflow.

If he is really in need of money, he could even hold a private auction, inviting high-rank mecha pilots with needs to bid fairly.

SSS-class rookie challenging rare materials, highest bidder wins!

A limitless future in wealth!
