Chapter 154: 115: Rich Harvest, Supreme Quality Module!_1
Mythical Item: The value of a Supercharge Upgrade goes without saying.
Jiang Chen paid special attention to another Mythical Item.
[Latent Ability Upgrade]
[Quality: Mythical]
[Type: Item]
[Effect: When used on any Supercharged Mecha, it enhances its foundational potential, allowing for a pseudo-upgrade effect on its next rank advancement, providing an additional quality enhancement. (Only effective on 0th Rank mechas with a quality level below Excellent)]
[Description: Mecha super evolution!]
A Mythical Item that can improve the basic quality of a mecha!
Compared to the Supercharge Upgrade, this Mythical Item may have usage requirements and limits, but its value is even higher.
After all, if the mecha itself is a Supercharged Mecha,
then the supercharge upgrade tool can only be used to expand the future module pool, which is relatively limited in use.
However, the Latent Ability Upgrade tool is different.
It can directly enhance the mecha’s potential, providing additional quality bonuses during the upgrade.
It’s equivalent to upgrading an ordinary Nascent Form Mecha to Excellent Quality… or raising an Excellent Quality Nascent Form Mecha to the level of Exceptional Quality!
That’s too powerful!
You must know, an ordinary quality Nascent Form Mecha, even after using a Supercharge Module, can at most raise its quality to Exceptional on its first upgrade.
If it’s initially Exceptional, it’s like it has evolved once more than other mechas right from the start!
The attributes will see a huge increase.
Not to mention, many mecha pilot talents, including Jiang Chen’s [Undying Barehand], are closely related to mecha quality.
The higher the quality, the higher the bonus.
“Senior Yano said, items that can supplement a mecha’s potential are also extremely rare drops in the Endless Difficulty Level…”
“Maybe he wasn’t referring to [Supercharge Upgrade], but [Latent Ability Upgrade].”
“This is probably a reward for the high difficulty of Endless, and because I received an SSS-class evaluation, I was able to obtain it ahead of time…”
The first Latent Ability Upgrade will definitely be used to enhance Zero’s potential.
Her attributes are far too poor, being a life-form Mecha, her defense is even lower than Yun’s, only her vitality and recovery abilities are a bit higher.
Physical strength is the foundation of everything, better to secure her defense first.
Next, there are two perfect quality Supercharge Modules—
Quality has a huge impact on the attributes of modules and materials.
Let’s take 0th Rank as an example.
A 0th Rank ordinary quality module, depending on its specifics, can enhance the base attributes by 3-4 points.
Excellent Quality: 6-7 points.
Exceptional Quality: 10-11 points.
Flawless Quality: 14-15 points.
Perfect Quality: 19-20 points.
This means, if both modules reach the highest bonus, then a Perfect Quality module’s attributes will be five times that of an ordinary quality module!
Moreover, when a module is fitted onto a mecha, it can only demonstrate the effects of one quality level higher.
Therefore, considering the impact of quality, the disparity between a Supercharged Mecha and an ordinary mecha is actually much more than tenfold.
“The current quality of the steam mecha is flawless.”
“So a Flawless Quality Supercharge Module can’t actually fully exploit its performance… It has to be perfect quality!”
“And the modules produced by Abyss Level 1 are at most Flawless Quality…”
“After Zero advances to Flawless Quality, she will also need Perfect Quality modules.”
Jiang Chen looked forward to the perfect module with anticipation and excitement.
[Return to Primal State (Supercharged)]
[Rank: 3rd]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Type: Core Module]
[Effect One: When installed in a 2nd Rank mecha, it raises the enigmatic value by 0.5 thousand.]
[Effect Two: It can summon Primal Force, drawing upon the vast natural energy, to reveal the mecha’s mightier form, gaining a 40% enhancement to all attributes for a duration of 4 minutes with a cooldown of 6 hours.
(For each rank advancement of the module, attribute enhancement increases by 10%, and duration by 1 minute, not cumulative)]
[Effect Three: When the mecha evolves/upgrades, depending on the combination of modules, there’s a low chance of obtaining (Ancient, Mythical Life evolution/upgrade module)]
[Description: We were once the rulers of the world.]
“Wow, a golden legend!”
Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up, a top-grade loot!
A 5,000-point boost to enigmatic value might equate to just 500 points on a 1st Rank mecha.
Hardly befitting of Perfect Quality, it’s more like a small bonus.
However, the special ability attached to the Return to Primal State module is incredibly powerful, almost omnipotent!
Although it can’t be stacked, it provides a noble percentage boost!
Currently, Jiang Chen possesses a basic attribute total of around 130,000. Once he activates Return to Primal State, he could instantly gain around 50,000 more in all attributes.
Plus, after it is absorbed by the mecha as a capability, it can also grow along with the mecha.
At 3rd Rank it provides a 40% enhancement, but at 9th Rank, that will be a full 100% boost to all attributes!
The most important thing is, this kind of attribute enhancement, unlike the Limitation Unlock stance, which burns life force and mana, doesn’t bring any negative effects.
It doesn’t even consume anything, just pure enhancement.
The only drawback is that it can only be used once every six hours.
It can’t be permanently active.
“I must get it, I absolutely must. Even if I have to train a mecha specifically for this module, I cannot let its effects go to waste.”
“This will be my fourth phase!”
Jiang Chen, with anticipation and excitement, turned his attention to another Supercharged module.
[Mutant Gene (Supercharged)]
[Rank: 3rd]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Type: Special Module]
[Effect: Upon first installation, it triggers a gene mutation, transforming into a random Supercharged Supernatural Ability module.]
[Description: Wealth comes from technology, poverty from mutation.]
In both the Steam World and the Earth Cataclysm world, there exist transcendent abilities.
