Chapter 129 - 102: May the Flames of Passion Burn Eternally_2
Unfortunately, Jiang Chen was simply too unreasonable. His attributes before the support were at one level, but as soon as he received the support, his attributes skyrocketed to a new standard.
On top of that, they possessed 3rd Rank strength, which meant they could wear at most 2nd Rank supercharged Mecha, limiting the number of modules they could equip.
Without many special function modules to coordinate with, basic attributes accounted for the vast majority of their combat power.
Thus, they were annihilated by Jiang Chen with a crushing stance!
“Lower ranks rely on basic attributes, higher ranks gain various abilities…
“For me, though, the difference isn’t significant.”
“After all, the ability modules I absorb from the Mecha also possess growth potential and can maintain supremacy in all aspects forever!”
“The key is the ‘Expanded Armor Upgrade.’
“If I hadn’t just strengthened my Mecha, but instead waited until I had absorbed Mecha attributes many times, and each Talent Trigger could only increase my strength by a few percent…”
“The battle would definitely be much more difficult than it is now.”
“Therefore, as long as the Mecha attributes aren’t much weaker than mine, I can maintain the greatest advantage during Fire Transmission rescues!”
Jiang Chen completely comprehended the rules of Fire Transmission!
Simply put, it means paying attention to strengthening the Mecha and not getting too stuck in rank.
Upgrade when you should, improve when you must, keeping the Mecha attributes and the body’s attributes in a perfect growth ratio.
That way, you can grow rapidly and crush those of the same rank.
Like now—
Normally, the Fire Transmitter mecha pilots who rushed to the rescue were supposed to engage in a tough battle with the Alien Beast King to save the civilization and ignite the fire.
Jiang Chen’s attribute suppression and dimensionality reduction assault, with a swift Ora, turned the Alien Beast King into mincemeat.
The abyss atmosphere flowed into the Abyss Rune.
[Killing the Alien Beast King, obtained special material: Alien Beast Blood.]
[Successfully killed the leader, ended the Abyss Calamity, completed the rescue mission.]
[Fire Transmitter traits have been triggered…]
[Planet Blue Star’s Civilization Potential is enhanced, current potential: 4.]
[An unknown trait is brewing (insufficient Civilization Potential, please continue to enhance).]
[Settlement complete, would you like to leave the abyss immediately?]
[Note: Declining to leave grants an additional twenty-four-hour stay.]
Decline to leave.
The Alien Beast King was dead, but the beast tide did not follow suit and instead scattered and fled, spreading out across the entire continent.
Clearly, they would cause new troubles in the future.
Jiang Chen planned to give some extra help to the Tianyuan civilization.
Regardless of whether this help could enable the Tianyuan civilization to rise again and break free from its vulnerable situation…
At least as a Fire Transmitter, he would feel a bit more at ease.
That was sufficient.
He flew back to where the majestic scrapped Mecha was and landed again at the Tianyuan frontline.
When the mecha pilots of the Tianyuan civilization saw Jiang Chen return, they immediately gripped their hearts, and several who had just recalled their Mecha couldn’t help but touch the Abyss Rune again—
It wasn’t that they were overreacting, but the civilization of the Fire Plunderers had left them with a deep shadow.
After every extermination of a calamity, the mecha pilots from the Fire Plunderer civilization would behave wildly during their twenty-four-hour stay under the guise of “enjoying victory.”
Now…
This Fire Transmitter civilization’s mecha pilot was indeed about to start “enjoying his victory.”
The hearts of many Tianyuan civilization mecha pilots held nothing but sorrow and numbness.
Luckily, there was only one Fire Transmitter, so perhaps he would be a bit easier to handle.
The Tianyuan civilization’s “Person of Hope” sighed inwardly and stepped forward respectfully.
“Do you have any other orders, sir? We will do our best to fulfill your requests!”
“Do you have decryption devices?”
Jiang Chen, who had limited time to stay, got straight to the point and took out a semi-transparent tablet.
He had previously thought, since he was already juggling two professions—repair and strengthening.
He might as well add blacksmithing to his repertoire and forge some external equipment for himself, making it much easier to repair his own gear.
Hence, he purchased some blacksmithing courses and resource books while in Xuntian City (chapter 53).
All this blacksmith-related material was recorded on this e-book’s chip, convenient for quick reference.
It involved the manufacturing and principles of technology-based external equipment such as thermal energy weapons, high-explosives weapons, and individual nuclear arms, along with many related pieces of knowledge—
Yes, to moonlight as a craftsman, what is needed is not proficiency, nor skills.
But [knowledge].
Magic knowledge, technological knowledge, transcendent knowledge.
Only with this knowledge can one forge external equipment that can be used with mechas and taken into the abyss.
Jiang Chen was busy clearing the abyss, practicing repair and strengthening, and had already expended all his energy.
So, upon seeing these complex pieces of knowledge, he immediately tossed them to the bottom of the warehouse.
He planned to consider moonlighting as a craftsman after absorbing the smart module in the future, which would enhance his computing power and learning abilities.
But now, they found a use.
If given to the people of the Tianyuan civilization, along with the part of civilization knowledge they already have,
It would be equivalent to giving them part of a [technological heritage].
If executed well, they might significantly improve their technological level before the next beast tide arrives, thus better addressing the calamity.
They would vie for more time for the growth and development of the civilization’s mecha pilots.
After all, although these weapons cannot be carried into the abyss, they can be used normally in the present world without being restricted by the rank of mecha pilots.
Besides these things.
Jiang Chen also took out the Nascent Form Mecha with Transcending Roots that was at the bottom of the pile and two supercharged core modules that he obtained from quickly farming the abyss but could not use, and handed them over to the mecha pilots of the Tianyuan civilization.
These things are very precious to a civilization that has not crossed the abyss.
In the eyes of Jiang Chen at present…
They were merely the matter of an additional run in the abyss, taking no more than a few minutes.
“…The strongest alien beast has been dealt with, you can organize exploration teams to search for materials in the civilization ruins…”
“First, use this knowledge to forge some emergency weapons, and then select a genius, let him use these things to quickly enhance his ability…”
“It’s best to be a genius with physical enhancement, more convenient for powering through the abyss…”
“Once you get the snowball rolling, acquiring more knowledge and power from the abyss, perhaps you could rise again and break free from the control of the Fire Plunderers…”
The mecha pilots of the Tianyuan civilization stared blankly at Jiang Chen.
They had thought that this Fire Transmitter mecha pilot was here to enjoy the victory.
Instead, Jiang Chen took out so many precious items, almost enough to turn the civilization’s fortunes around, without any demands?!
At that moment, the mecha pilots of the Tianyuan civilization felt as if they were seeing the “angels” and “saints” from the old era’s myths.
His hands trembled, he spoke incredulously.
“You are…”
“Just a little help.”
Jiang Chen said, but he thought of Yano from the Gaia civilization.
In regard to Planet Blue Star.
He had once saved Planet Blue Star and then guided himself to gain more authority.
The remuneration he asked for was just a barbecue.
And predecessors such as mecha pilots who were Symbols of the Alliance…
Compared to those cunning Fire Plunderers.
They were the true Fire Transmitters.
“Civilization lies in continuity, and hope in its transmission.”
“I have once received gifts from others, and now I am simply continuing this gift.”
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
“The abyss may be filled with darkness, but there are also those who carry hope as Fire Transmitters, illuminating the way forward.”
“May the fire burn long; we shall meet again in the future.”
Jiang Chen had done what he wanted to do.
He clenched his right hand slightly, allowing the darkness to come forth, swallowing his form.
The mecha pilots of the Tianyuan civilization, looking at where he had disappeared, fell silent for a moment.
Compared to the Fire Plunderer civilization that had exploited the Tianyuan civilization and brought them to their current state,
This Fire Transmitter was unbelievably gentle, gentle to the point of surreal.
Only the materials and modules in their hands proved everything that had just happened.
The person of hope from the Tianyuan civilization felt a twinge in his nose.
He exhaled softly, speaking quietly.
“May the fire burn long…”
