Chapter 94 - 87 The Era of Giant Mechas, You Are the Future!_1
Over the past twenty years, more than a million mecha pilots on Planet Blue Star have passed the basic trial.
After the rise of the alliance, a suitable environment for the growth of geniuses was provided.
Those mecha pilots with sufficient talent have a very high probability of growing up, and rarely suffer losses due to internal strife on Planet Blue Star.
Therefore, the number of 8th Rank mecha pilots on Planet Blue Star has now approached a hundred.
In just a few minutes, over forty 8th Rank mecha pilots arrived at the island base.
Jiang Chen, surrounded by so many 8th Rank powerhouses, felt incredibly nervous—
However, when he saw Li Xiao standing before him, his heart relaxed slightly.
That’s right.
He was currently under the protection of the biggest boss on the whole of Planet Blue Star, what was there to be nervous about?
“Invincible through the ages,” understand?
Moreover, although these bigwigs were high-level, they could not perform dimensional strikes on the lower abyss or clear its challenges at the same level, so their strength was limited.
To enhance their potential and increase their strength,
They had to rely on exceptionally talented newcomers like Jiang Chen to have them create the highest quality modules and materials.
In other words…
It was a seller’s market!
Jiang Chen, as a monopolistic genius who dominated the highest difficulty level, held the greatest initiative!
Even as 8th Rank bigwigs, they had to ask him for help with materials!
Realizing this, Jiang Chen felt at ease in an instant. Looking at the 8th Rank bigwigs before him was like looking at rows of fresh scallions.
He couldn’t help but reveal a smile as warm as that of a kind old farmer.
He restrained the impulse to wave and greet everyone, turning to Li Xiao and spoke of what was on his mind.
“Boss, after I cleared the Abyss difficulty level, I also received a prompt about an increase in Civilization Potential…”
“Have your limitations been unlocked yet?”
“Yes, the restrictions on advancing through the ranks have now been lifted, and we can undergo the trials normally,”
“However, the increase in Civilization Potential brings many other issues. If we 8th Rank mecha pilots want to take the advancement trials, we can only do it in batches…”
Li Xiao nodded, looking at Jiang Chen with a complex look in his eyes, filled with relief.
He had been worrying about the abyss issue, anxious that Planet Blue Star wouldn’t leave much time for the new generation of talents…
He never expected Jiang Chen to make such a big move unexpectedly.
In a few days after soloing the Hell difficulty level, he persisted and directly cleared the Abyss difficulty level too!
The 14-year shackle stuck at the 8th Rank had suddenly disappeared.
Just a few minutes ago, when he saw the Abyss Rune message,
He almost thought he was dreaming.
It seems that Jiang Chen, the “9th generation successor,” has even greater potential than he imagined.
Jiang Chen is the future of Planet Blue Star!
With that thought in mind,
Li Xiao turned around to face each of the 8th Rank mecha pilots and said.
“Moreover, although the limitation to ascend to the 9th Rank has been lifted…”
“No one knows if there won’t be further restrictions for the 10th Rank, 11th Rank, or even higher ranks,”
“Having learned from past restrictions, we absolutely cannot take this lightly!”
That statement was clearly not meant for Jiang Chen.
It was directed at the 8th Rank mecha pilots.
Upon hearing his words, a brown-haired young man standing at the front nodded and replied with a smile.
“Absolutely, the boss is right,”
“Talented mecha pilots are the most important part of measuring a civilization’s potential,”
“And the newcomers are the hope of our civilization,”
“No one knows if the potential of our civilization will decline again if we lose our talented mecha pilots, or if the recently unlocked ranks will become restricted once more…”
“Surely everyone has had enough of the past years of restrictions, right?”
“If anyone harbors ill intentions, then their target is not the newcomers, nor our alliance—”
“But the future of all Planet Blue Star!”
Another mecha pilot nodded in agreement.
“Exactly, we all know running away is pointless,”
“The abyss is full of unknowns, full of danger,”
“Although we have some disagreements, if we cannot unite in the face of the abyss…”
“The fate of those civilizations that have already been destroyed will be our ultimate outcome,”
One by one, the 8th Rank mecha pilots expressed their stance.
Jiang Chen finally understood Li Xiao’s thoughts—
Were all these 8th Rank mecha pilots merely here to see the new guy?
No.
Li Xiao wanted to take this opportunity, in front of the top mecha pilots, to re-emphasize.
Jiang Chen was under his wing, and nobody was allowed to harbor ill intentions!
The boss is awesome.
Jiang Chen felt touched in his heart,
Indeed, as a late game carry, he needed his powerful teammates to hold the front!
After reaching a consensus with the 8th Rank mecha pilots, Li Xiao looked back at Jiang Chen, his eyes suddenly filled with tenderness.
“The unlocking of the 9th Rank limit is just a part of the increase in Civilization Potential,”
“After your clearance of the Abyss difficulty level, there have been many, many changes…”
“Have you checked the Abyss Rune?”
“…I just came out of the abyss, was preoccupied with checking the loot, and didn’t get a chance to look yet,”
When Li Xiao heard Jiang Chen’s response, he couldn’t help but smile knowingly.
Just being in a team to clear the Hell difficulty level already had a chance of obtaining a Supercharge Module,
Soloing the Abyss difficulty level, especially as the first to boost Civilization Potential upon clearing it, the rewards must be bountiful.
It was normal for Jiang Chen to be preoccupied with rare rewards,
He then reminded him.
“You can check it now.”
“Alright.”
Under the watchful eyes of the many bigwigs, Jiang Chen clenched his right hand and touched the Abyss Rune in his palm.
Seeing his action, the brown-haired young man, the second-in-command of the alliance, could not help but exclaim in admiration.
“Deserving of a superb newcomer, even the gesture of touching the Abyss Rune is so stylish,”
Another 8th Rank mecha pilot nodded.
“Yeah, my Abyss Rune is on the back of my head; having it in the palm is way too cool,”
