Chapter 92 - 86: Substantial Gains, Gathering of Tycoons!_2
After all, without potential power, where does the burst of strength in critical moments come from?
“Since a Star Energy Force module is to be used as Yun’s core module…”
“Then, among the three pathways I’ve planned, the Enigmatic Type can be directly ruled out.”
“I should make a choice between the Explosive Type and the High-Speed Form.”
Jiang Chen was more inclined toward the Explosive Type path.
However, the specific choice would still depend on the upcoming Supercharge Module drops—
Yes!
Clearing the Abyss difficulty level for the first time resulted in the drop of two Supercharge Modules.
With such a rich harvest, Jiang Chen’s expectations were raised.
What’s the point of ordinary modules?
Since each 1st Rank mecha can only carry four modules in total.
Be bold, go all supercharged!
“The snowball, it’s rolling now!”
Jiang Chen continued to look down.
[Transcending Roots]
[Type: Nascent Form Mecha]
[Effect: After activation, obtain a 0th Rank mecha: Transcending Roots]
[Note: Can be traded.]
A bio-organic mecha emerged before him.
However, it was more like a Transcender in its “demon form” than a bio-organic mecha.
Three meters tall, entirely woven from roots, exuding a sense of vigorous power, massive green wings unfurled behind, with ferocious claws and feet.
Everything about it was strikingly similar to a Transcender.
Within it, the half of the body hidden in the darkness had turned a light purple, emitting a faint glow.
[Code: Transcending Roots]
[Type: Light Armor Bio-organic Mecha]
[Quality: Excellent (2-fold Absorption)]
[Rank: 0th]
[Enhancement: Zero]
[Attributes: Strength 3, Agility 3, Defense 3, Enigmatism 0.]
[Armor: 40/40, recovery rate 0.01/s.]
[Energy: 20/20, recovery rate 0.03/s.]
[Core Module: Not equipped]
[Auxiliary Modules: Not equipped]
“Master Chao is indeed generous!”
“Even though it doesn’t provide any impressive traits…”
“But bursting out two supercharged modules isn’t all, it burst even itself out!”
“Does this mean if you can’t beat them, join them?”
Just seeing the mecha’s appearance, Jiang Chen was somewhat unable to contain himself.
However, even if Master Chao wanted to join, Jiang Chen couldn’t possibly accept his submission—
A mecha pilot’s mecha slot has a limit.
When Jiang Chen completed his rank-up trial, his permission was upgraded to 1st Rank, and he obtained a mecha slot, which he already used to bind Yun.
Now, without a mecha slot, it was impossible to transform the Nascent Form Mecha into a complete mecha.
As for obtaining a new mecha slot after upgrading to 2nd Rank…
Upon completing the rank-up trial, based on the settlement rating, one would be rewarded with an untradeable Nascent Form Mecha.
Jiang Chen, who could solo the Abyss, would definitely receive an SSS-class evaluation in the rank-up trial.
The baseline would be an Excellent Quality Nascent Form Mecha.
Therefore, the Nascent Form Mecha [Transcending Roots] was somewhat undesirable for him.
“Zero and Master Chao, both are bio-organic mechas extended from roots.”
“There’s a type conflict.”
“Mechanical, magic energy, elemental, nano, Transcendent… even specters, fossils, legendary lifeforms…”
“There are far too many types and advancement tendencies for mechas.”
“There’s no need to waste a precious mecha slot on cultivating a new mecha with severe homogeneity.”
Sorry, Master Chao.
Even though Zero was taught by you…
But she has comprehended something better!
Jiang Chen placed the Transcending Roots at the very bottom of his warehouse.
Planning to sell it to a high rank mecha pilot later—
Not all mecha pilots could achieve an SSS-class evaluation in the rank-up trial and obtain a top-notch Nascent Form Mecha.
With a slightly lower evaluation, they might obtain a new type of mecha, but its basic quality could still be standard.
Therefore, a tradable, Excellent Quality Nascent Form Mecha.
Its worth was definitely on par with a Supercharge Module!
The rewards for the first clear of the Abyss difficulty level were just too generous.
Two Supercharge Modules, one Nascent Form Mecha, both their quality and effects were top-tier.
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but look at them for a while longer and inadvertently exceeded the time.
He hadn’t continued looking down when he felt the world darken and swiftly engulf him.
[Beginning the reshaping of Age-Old Shadow.]
Present time, island base.
The shadow flowed by, and Jiang Chen stood once again in the open courtyard outside the mecha display room.
“Lord, you’re back!”
The steam mecha form of Yun seemed to have waited a while.
It approached immediately, asking eagerly.
“The Abyss difficulty level…?”
“Conquered!”
Jiang Chen replied with a bright smile.
“After clearing the Abyss difficulty level, I also obtained two superb supercharged core modules.
“One is for you, and the other is for Zero.”
“However, Zero is still in slumber, I’ll awaken her later, and then we can try out the new modules together.”
When Jiang Chen was strategizing for Star of Mutation, he took a day off to consolidate.
Having reached the sufficient attributes, he directly entered the Abyss and slaughtered the Transcender.
At this moment, Zero was still in a damaged state, not yet repaired.
Yun was aware of this and nodded in anticipation.
“Great! I wish to grow stronger together with General Zero!”
As Jiang Chen was communicating with the mecha,
Bai Ying stood to one side, yet she never spoke up.
A few seconds later, her form changed, transforming into a woman in a yellow dress.
Her expression was excited as she instantly appeared in front of Jiang Chen.
Even with Jiang Chen’s current agility, he didn’t catch her movement at all.
“Jiang Chen, you cleared the Abyss??”
“…Yes.”
Is news spreading this quickly?
Jiang Chen originally thought it would take a little while for the mecha pilots of Planet Blue Star to learn that he had successfully solo-cleared the Abyss…
But just a few seconds after he left the Abyss,
