Chapter 91 - 86: Generous Gains, Big Shots Gather!
Abyss difficulty level, conquered!
In order to slay the Transcender, Jiang Chen fought back and forth with It for almost half a day, suffering countless injuries and shedding much blood during the process.
If it hadn’t been for Zero awakening the [Thorns Overgrowth] module, a compound module of damage reflection and life leech, when evolving.
He might not have been able to hold on just relying on the recovery speed of the Roots Core.
By now, the ‘blood’ of the Transcender was all that flowed in Jiang Chen’s body.
“Master Chao, although your body has died, your Life Force Energy still flows within me.”
“I will carry on your will!”
“Speaking of which, after clearing the Abyss difficulty level, the 8th Rank limit should have been unlocked, right?”
Jiang Chen’s agility had reached 6,700, greatly increasing his reaction and thought speed.
The thirty seconds of disengagement time was enough for him to check out his gains.
First was the Flawless Module dropped by the Transcender: [Infinite Vitality].
[Infinite Vitality (Supercharged)]
[Rank: 2nd]
[Quality: Flawless]
[Type: Core module.]
[Effect One: Grants the mecha self-repair ability, recovering 2.2 Armor Value per second when not in a damaged state.]
[Effect Two: When the mecha’s Armor Value is at full, the self-repair ability continues to work, providing temporary Armor Value. (Up to 200% temporary Armor Value)]
[Effect Three: During mecha evolution/upgrade, depending on the module combination, there’s a low chance of obtaining (light, wood-attribute evolution/upgrade modules)]
[Effect Four: Supercharge Module, when applied to a low-ranked mecha, can still achieve the effects of a higher rank.]
[Description: Endless vitality of life!]
Awesome!
A supercharged module inclined towards life and vitality, and it comes from the same series as the [Root Core], and it’s Flawless quality to boot.
It almost completely locks in Zero’s 1st Rank Core Module slot.
Moreover, its properties are quite powerful—
After Zero evolved, the Prime Quality [Root Core] was completely absorbed, evolving together to the next Rank.
The recovery speed provided had increased from the original 0.1/s of the 1st Rank to 1.0/s of the 2nd Rank.
And the [Infinite Vitality] module, while also being a 2nd Rank supercharged module,
just the basic recovery rate it provides is at 2.2/s, more than double that of the Root Core!
This is the bonus of Flawless quality!
Furthermore, Infinite Vitality can also provide 200% temporary Armor Value.
The effect is simple and brutal, directly doubling the mecha’s toughness!
“Now you’ve really beefed up, Zero.”
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
Zero’s modules are like his modules!
Zero’s toughness naturally equates to his toughness!
Triple Life Force; who can harm him now?
It’s just a pity that even after absorbing the Roots Core Module so many times, he only stacked the recovery number per second.
The [Sunlight Recovery Multiplier] prefix seems to be a unique prefix that can’t be stacked infinitely.
From this perspective, the [200% temporary Armor Value] prefix brought by the Infinite Vitality module is very likely to be unique as well.
He probably won’t be able to stack it indefinitely.
Otherwise, he could start thinking about the feasibility of a Star Energy Force bath ahead of time.
In addition to the Transcender’s drops,
the settlement rewards also produced a supercharged module.
[Star Energy (Supercharged)]
[Rank: 2nd]
[Quality: Flawless]
[Type: Core module.]
[Effect One: After being installed, gain a Star Energy Furnace, providing 12,000 Energy Value.]
[Effect Two: After being installed, when bathing in Star Radiance, depending on the intensity of the light, provide energy recovery speed (up to 2.0/s).
[Effect Three: During mecha evolution/upgrade, depending on the module combination, there’s a low chance of obtaining (light, flame attribute evolution/upgrade modules)]
[Effect Four: Supercharge Module, when applied to a low-ranked mecha, can still achieve the effects of a higher rank.]
[Description: Infinite Star Energy Force!]
A supercharged module, providing twelve thousand Energy Value!
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
Keep in mind that the current state of the primeval mecha only had an energy cap of 600.
Even though it was just a 1st Rank mecha and hadn’t specifically been strengthened in the energy aspect, possessing comparatively weak related attributes…
It still serves to show just how preposterous the property of this supercharged module really is!
Jiang Chen just needed to absorb it once or twice, and the increase in his energy cap would surpass all his previous accumulations!
Worthy of the name Star Energy Force!
“Although I’ve already absorbed the Touch of Extreme Cold module thirty times, pushing its power limit very high…”
“But, limited by my energy cap, I couldn’t unleash its true power.”
“Therefore, I could only rely on elemental reactions to barely unleash some damage.”
“If I had this Star Energy module earlier and significantly raised my energy cap,
“Thirtieth-fold Touch of Extreme Cold wouldn’t need any elemental reaction and could completely freeze the Transcender—”
“After all, the Transcender has no Enigmatism resistance at all.”
Jiang Chen’s eyes shone brightly.
This Star Energy module, like the Infinite Vitality module, is a core module.
Each 1st Rank mecha can only be equipped with one core.
There’s a conflict in slotting both modules; they can’t all be equipped on Zero.
Moreover, while its properties are powerful, they don’t belong to the tendencies of life and vitality, and therefore don’t suit the path Zero is currently on.
So, Jiang Chen plans to keep this module for the second mecha—
Boiling Steam Yun!
The principle of steam engines is boiling water.
Boiling water with Star Energy Force will provide effects far stronger than other low-ranked energy sources.
At the same time, the high energy cap can support the mecha to unleash greater power, showing a superlative performance.
