“…”
Well, if you think about it, such top-tier mecha blueprints couldn’t possibly be hung in the marketplace for just anyone to peruse.
After all, possessing a mecha blueprint is tantamount to knowing the mecha’s stats and abilities.
For top-level 8th Rank mecha pilots, they could easily become targets.
Jiang Chen flipped through some other 8th Rank mecha blueprints.
Including the Xuntian City mecha, all these blueprints were in an unknown state, requiring contact with the designer for access.
Jiang Chen filtered out these useless high-rank blueprints and switched to viewing 1st Rank mecha blueprints.
He discovered that the 1st Rank blueprint for the Divine Lord Mecha, the Inscription Mecha, was surprisingly available for purchase.
All newcomers joining the alliance received a hundred points of contribution as a basic benefit, and unlocking the blueprint for the Inscription Mecha only needed one point.
The price was one percent of other 1st Rank blueprints, which was virtually giving it away for free.
Once the blueprint was unlocked, the interior was no longer a mystery.
From module combinations to the ratio of enhancement materials, even the mecha’s attributes, stats, and abilities were detailed to the extreme.
Following the blueprint, one could certainly craft an exact copy of the Inscription Mecha.
“What generosity from this big shot!”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
One could foresee that with such cheap and detailed blueprints, coupled with the illustrious combat record of the Divine Lord Mecha, many mecha pilots would choose this direct route to become 8th Rank mechas.
Maybe even now, within Xuntian City, there were many “juvenile” Divine Lord Mechas.
Even if one didn’t choose this path, the process of crafting an Inscription Mecha could serve as a reference.
Like Jiang Chen right now.
After perusing the detailed blueprints of the Inscription Mecha, he had already formed some ideas.
He then unlocked a few other cheap blueprints of 1st Rank mechas that represented the path to 8th Rank, to compare their crafting philosophies.
His ideas swiftly took shape.
“These top-tier mechas have all made use of the 1st Rank enhancement opportunity to catalyze their potential to the utmost, pushing their quality to an exceptional level.”
“And my supercharged module makes the mecha upgrade start at an excellent quality.”
“Therefore, I’m only truly utilizing the full potential of the supercharged module if I craft a truly outstanding mecha.”
“To achieve this, I’ll have to focus on enhancing and restructuring around the core module’s attributes and capabilities.”
Jiang Chen already had an idea in mind.
Supercharge Module: Roots Core, the most striking feature is its wood property and recovery rate.
But these are just appearances.
Its true source is actually [Life Force] and [Vitality].
Just like in the basic trial, the names of those creatures.
Whether they are slender or robust, spider-like or scythe-like, their names remain unchanged—[Mutants].
And that Roots Titan with powerful attributes, possessing Infinite Vitality, and not dying despite being shattered numerous times, its name is [Newborner].
This perhaps signifies that the true root of Roots isn’t parasitism or mutation.
It’s an evolution at the level of life itself, a new birth into immortality.
It’s just that humans of the Empire civilization couldn’t withstand this evolution and mutated, leading to a collapse in their civilization, turning into eroded mutants.
Ultimately, it was the plants that combined with human genes and acquired a new birth.
Becoming [Roots].
Therefore, if Jiang Chen wants to unleash the true power of the Roots Core, he doesn’t necessarily have to focus on the “wood properties”.
But rather catalyze the “Life Force” to the extreme.
Thus crafting a [Life Force Mecha] with Infinite Vitality!
“Life, immortality, Nirvana…”
“That is the real core of the first mecha.”
“When I strengthen it to the utmost and absorb it, I too can gain this endless Life Force.”
“Even perhaps control the Mythical laws of life, obtaining the power of undying regeneration from a single drop of blood!”
Jiang Chen now had a strategy for the first mecha enhancement.
The materials needed for enhancement and the modules for integration were taking shape.
Since the key point was Life Force, there was no need to focus only on materials with wood properties.
Materials with water and earth properties that contain Life Force could be used as well.
The former can be matched with the Roots Core to strengthen the mecha’s recovery ability, enhancing the mecha’s energy drive.
The latter can nourish the Roots, and also fortify defensive capabilities.
These qualities are complementary.
As a result, most of the modules and materials obtained in the basic trial, which are mainly associated with mutations, have no use and could be disposed of directly.
As for the lack of offensive capabilities,
that can be resolved by crafting weapons.
It could also be addressed by focusing on attack and destruction when crafting the second mecha, to make up for this weakness.
Bai Ying saw Jiang Chen put away his personal terminal and asked,
“Sir, have you come up with an idea already?”
“Hmm, I have some ideas, but I’m quite short of materials.”
“I plan to sell some materials and modules to exchange for what I need, do you know where I should go?”
Though there’s an option for item trade on the personal terminal, one has to undergo item verification before being able to list items for sale on the alliance’s platform.
Jiang Chen had obtained many materials in the basic trial, most of which are 0th Rank and generic, presumably not very valuable, too troublesome to list for sale.
