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

Chapter 275: Chapter 185: You Don’t Understand Jiang Chen at All_2

Efficiency had significantly increased.

Those mecha pilots who naturally possessed strength enhancement went completely insane!

As long as the base strength enhancement exceeded 20%,

Increasing to five times, surpassing 100%, they might achieve an SSS-class rating in the basic trials and obtain a supercharged core module!

If the base strength enhancement exceeded 100%,

Increasing to five times, surpassing 500%, they could gather a set of Supercharge Modules, find two teammates of the same class, and successfully cross the abyss!

If they naturally had five times the base strength enhancement…

Just enhance it to twenty-five times, and they could mow down the abyss.

Keep in mind, Lan Yi, the hope candidate of Gaia civilization, had a talent strength enhancement of only twenty times!

How could such an exaggerated change not drive people wild?

Therefore, from the moment the [Protector] trait took effect,

Planet Blue Star entered a frenzied mode.

Almost every minute a mecha pilot successfully crossed the abyss.

Information about [Civilization Traits] and [Hope Candidates] completely dominated almost all trending searches and posts.

Only the event of [Symbol of the Alliance crossing the abyss] could barely divert a little attention.

But that was just a bit.

Because, while people were celebrating, they also realized a terrifying fact.

“The range of effect of the Protector trait is half the strength rank of the Hope Candidate.”

“Now, all mecha pilots of the 4th Rank and below are getting an enhancement.”

“Doesn’t that mean… Jiang Chen already has a strength beyond the 8th Rank?!”

On an unknown planet, Kamon’s face showed shock.

Simon glanced at him, his expression calm.

“Keep cool, it’s normal for the strong. Don’t make a fuss.”

“…A 3rd Rank mecha pilot with 8th Rank strength is normal?”

Kamon looked at Simon, his expression blank.

Simon leaned against his mecha, crossed his arms, and shook his head.

“Mortals will never understand the world of the strong—”

“It’s just 8th Rank strength, isn’t it?”

“Maybe, Jiang Chen’s real combat power has already reached the 9th Rank, or even close to the 10th Rank!”

“…”

Kamon fell silent for a moment.

In this period, Simon had changed, yet he hadn’t.

After being hit hard initially, he quickly cheered up and didn’t really throw in the towel—

His personality wasn’t one to give up, and his passion for creating mechas, for becoming a powerful mecha pilot, was still exceedingly high.

He continued to explore the abyss daily, grinding for materials and modules, thinking of quickly saving enough money to purchase a Supercharge Module.

His life’s rhythm hadn’t changed; he still talked constantly about mortals and the strong.

Only now, the subject of his talks had changed—

Only Jiang Chen was the strong; the rest were all mortals!

It could be called the ultimate praise for Jiang Chen.

Although Kamon agreed with him,

Sometimes he still felt that his brother’s praise was too excessive.

Like now, Jiang Chen being 3rd Rank but surpassing the 8th Rank, a 100,000 times disparity, was already quite exaggerated!

Nearly 10th Rank?

How could that be possible!

However, Kamon didn’t argue with his brother but changed the subject and started talking about something else.

“This civilization trait this time is too powerful.”

“Five times the talent, national enhancement!”

“It’s just a pity that the range of effect is limited. Once our strength rank exceeds half of Jiang Chen’s, we’ll lose its effect.”

“The stronger the talent, the quicker the growth; the quicker the growth, the sooner it becomes ineffective.”

“It’s really frustrating.”

Kamon said, thinking of his own talent.

His talent was [Mecha Overload], which allowed a mecha to equip double the number of modules and could grow with the quality of the mecha.

With the Protector trait’s enhancement, his mechas could already load ten times the number of modules!

A 1st Rank mecha could equip eighty supercharged modules, the quantity comparable to a 20th Rank mecha, extremely exaggerated!

The problem, however, was this—

If the mecha was upgraded and all these modules were fully absorbed and transformed into abilities.

What would happen when subsequent strength increases, and the Protector trait disappears?

Would the absorbed modules be expelled again?

Or would they simply become invalid?

Whichever it was, it seemed to be very unpleasant.

“Don’t worry about this problem,”

Simon spoke up.

“Once you gain the trait bonus, you can always enjoy five times the talent effect.”

“How could your growth rate possibly surpass that of Jiang Chen?”

“…That’s an exaggeration, Simon.”

Kamon was dumbfounded.

“I know you admire Jiang Chen a lot, but is it necessary to praise him so blindly?”

“Jiang Chen’s growth is indeed rapid; as a 3rd Rank mecha pilot, he already has the strength of an 8th Rank…”

“But as for rank advancement, the further you go, the harder it gets.”

“By the time he reaches the 13th Rank, possessing 18th Rank strength…”

“Are you saying we can’t even reach 10th Rank strength?”

“Besides, who knows what the upper limit of a mecha pilot’s rank is.”

“What if new shackles appear at the 8th Rank?”

Simon laughed.

He raised his hand, patted Kamon’s shoulder, and, standing on the gangplank, flew towards the mecha.

All that remained was his voice, drifting faintly through the air.

“The limit of a mecha pilot is definitely not Jiang Chen’s limit.”

“You laugh at me for not understanding mecha pilots.”

“I laugh at you for not understanding Jiang Chen.”

“I’m going to dive into the abyss now.”

“I am a 4th Rank mecha pilot now, and without a supercharged mecha, my strength is roughly that of 5th Rank. In a few days, I should be able to benefit from the trait bonus.”

“I need to gather more materials to enhance my mecha.”

“…”

Kamon watched as Simon piloted his mecha, beginning his abyss exploration, and fell silent for a moment.

Is it me who doesn’t understand Jiang Chen?

As he doubted himself, the Abyss Rune automatically triggered.

Rows of information appeared before his eyes.

[Planet Blue Star civilization meets all conditions.]

[Civilization Potential is enhanced; civilization privileges are upgraded.]

[Current privileges: Three]

[Current Potential: 180]

…

[Civilization privileges have been upgraded, increasing the limit for Hope candidates.]

[Current candidates: Li Xiao, vacancy (1/2)]

…

[Civilization privileges have been upgraded, opening the [Abyss Levels].]

[Abyss Levels: A convergence point for numerous abyss civilizations, containing mysterious power due to the influence of calamities.

Cannot be physically visited, only traversed in spirit.]

[Current affiliation: Purgatory level]

[Requirements for visiting Abyss Levels: 3rd Rank or higher, must cross the abyss.]

When Jiang Chen returned to Planet Blue Star, the number of mecha pilots who had crossed the abyss had already reached 9,712.

Now, with the addition of the Protector trait bonus, the overall strength of Blue Star’s mecha pilots had soared, making crossing the abyss no longer difficult.

Just an hour had passed.

The number of abyss mecha pilots had exceeded ten thousand, fulfilling the last requirement.

Upon his return from the abyss and seeing this message, Jiang Chen immediately stopped what he was doing.

“In this one hour, I cleared the Abyss difficulty level 300 times…”

“That should be enough for a 3rd Rank mecha pilot for a while.”

Jiang Chen’s attention then focused on the text before him.

Planet Blue Star civilization’s authority had risen to the 3rd Rank, not only adding dozens of points of Civilization Potential but also opening up another Hope candidate slot.

The previous slot was given to the big shot, Li Xiao.

This next slot should go to the strongest of the new generation, the champion of the first Planet Blue Star talents competition.

Jiang Chen remembered that the champion’s name was Parvin, with a base talent strength of nine times.

With the [Protector] trait bonus, she should have a talent strength of forty-five times.

That’s a bit stronger than the current big shot, Li Xiao.

Most importantly, she is a low-ranked mecha pilot.

She can bring more Potential to the Blue Star civilization during the rank advancement process and unlock the Fire Transmission privilege.

Significantly enhancing Blue Star civilization’s Fire Transmission and upgrade efficiency.

Apart from the Hope candidate slot,

Jiang Chen, who had long been looking forward to it, finally saw the [Abyss Levels] open.

However, he wasn’t in a hurry to proceed to the Purgatory level but instead tidied up the Star Base, waiting for Li Xiao to return from the Endless Difficulty level—

—After the Blue Star civilization’s authority had been elevated to the third level.

He could finally use the [Light of Wonders] item to generate a [Wondrous Blueprint]!

“With the Protector trait, everyone’s talents have been greatly enhanced…”

“The civilization is thriving, such a perfect time to construct wonders.”
