MTL - You Agreed To Fight Mechas, But Your Body Exploded Into Stars?

Chapter 12 This is my world

 Perhaps it’s because his physique has been enhanced after absorbing the mecha’s attributes.

In the hotel room, Jiang Chen woke up refreshed. He turned on his phone and looked at the time. He found that he had only slept for about three hours.

“If I absorb the power of the root core module and improve my recovery ability, will I be able to maintain my energy by basking in the sun without even having to rest?”

 “In that case, what will become of me...”

 “Jiang Shuren?”

Of course, Jiang Chen is not a Jiang Shuren yet and does not have the ability to photosynthesize.

  Need to replenish physical energy consumption through food.

Having only slept for three hours, I felt that hungry feeling again.

He was not picky about food. He sat on the sofa in the room, picked up the leftover food he had eaten before going to bed, and stuffed it into his mouth.

While eating, he was replying to messages on his mobile phone—

Jiang Chen had previously focused on preparing for the trial and did not tell anyone about his awakening.

 After returning, I was too tired, so I ate a lot and fell asleep.

 Until now, I have no time to look at my mobile phone.

 My relatives are fine and no news has been sent.

Jiang Chen told his family that he would work outside this summer to earn some pocket money and go back later.

 You don’t live at home, so if you disappear for a day, you won’t be noticed.

 His friend who runs a board game center sent him several messages asking where he was.

Jiang Chen is now a mecha master and needs to focus on building mechas and exploring the abyss.

It is impossible to have too much free time to go to the board game center to help.

So I sent a cooing emoji to my friend and told him that I was temporarily busy and couldn’t go there recently.

My friend quickly responded to the message, expressing his understanding and sending a braised pigeon emoticon.

 “Definitely next time.”

Jiang Chen couldn't help laughing.

He slashed through ten streets in the trial world, killing from street to end without blinking an eye, not even caring about life and death. He was brutal.

 The reason is somewhat related to “traveling”.

 Suddenly, the world has become extremely strange. Even if the chat messages have not changed, deep down in my heart I am worried whether my friends and relatives have become another person.

 The reason why he is so enthusiastic about mecha masters is because he feels insecure and wants to seek strength to fill the emptiness in his heart.

 Now, Jiang Chen's mentality has gradually recovered.

 This is still his world.

It’s just a few more mechas and monsters.

 …

There wasn't much food left. Jiang Chen ate it all and was still a little hungry.

 He took a shower in the bathroom, tidied up the room a little, put on the clothes lent to him by the rescue team, and prepared to go out to find food.

As a result, as soon as I walked to the hotel lobby, I saw a curly-haired man approaching me with a surprised smile.

“Brother Jiang, why did you wake up so quickly and didn’t want to rest for a while?”

“After I finished the basic trial, I slept for a whole day and night!”

"…you are?"

 The curly-haired man saw Jiang Chen's confused expression, reacted, laughed and spoke.

 “Introduce yourself again.”

“I am Xie Minglei, a third-level mecha master from the alliance.”

 “Thank you, senior!”

Jiang Chen suddenly realized.

Senior Xie had been wearing a silver-blue mecha before, so he didn't recognize the other party's identity.

Jiang Chen was very grateful to this senior mecha master who saved his life and gave him a lot of help, and he smiled.

 “I rested for a while during the basic trial, and I’m not too sleepy.”

 “Rest in the basic trial?”

 Xie Minglei was a little surprised.

Although he told the new mecha master that during the basic trial, it is best to find a safe place to hide.

 But in the world of trials, where is there a truly safe place?

 Even if you are hiding, you are usually tense and vigilant, and it is difficult to truly relax.

However, thinking about Jiang Chen’s SSS-level rating, everything seems to be reasonable again.

 For a genius like this, the basic trial should be as simple as an outing, right?

Thinking about how I thought this young man was too cowardly...

 Fortunately, he didn't show it, otherwise his face would be completely swollen. Xie Minglei sighed in his heart with a smile on his face.

“As expected of Brother Jiang.”

“By the way, congratulations on passing the basic trial and getting an SSS rating!”

　　　…”

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment.

 After he returned from the basic trial, he went straight to eating and resting.

  Did not tell anyone about the experience of the basic trial.

 How did Senior Xie know that he had received an SSS-level evaluation?

Xie Minglei saw Jiang Chen's confusion and spoke.

“Brother Jiang, after you pass the trial, you are now an official mecha master and can access more abyss.”

 “Try to touch your abyss.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen made a fist with his right hand and touched the abyss pattern on his palm.

 In addition to the [Personal Data], [Mecha Attributes], and [Abyss Warehouse] that could be seen before, there is another option.

　　【Shadow of the Old Days】.

 Xie Minglei explained.

“Shadow of the Old Days, you can think of it as a copy in an online game. It has multiple difficulties and you can explore, fight, and get rewards.”

“It’s just that it is a half-real and half-illusory world constructed from the abyss.”

“While we are exploring inside, if we are seriously injured and die, it will be a real death, and there will be no chance to come back again.”

"The basic trial you have experienced is a kind of shadow of the past, and it is also the most special kind."

“Every mecha master must experience it once, but it can only be experienced once.”

“Moreover, when we pass through these shadows of the past, we will leave traces, recorded by the abyss…”

"Whether it passes or not, whether it is life or death, it will be recorded forever."

Jiang Chen chose the shadow of the old days, and lines of text and patterns appeared in front of his eyes.

Just as Xie Minglei said, these words and patterns depict a world of despair.

 For example, Jiang Chen experienced the "Ruins of Change" during his basic trial.

 Shadows of the Old Ones has a similar world, with very similar patterns but different names.

  【Mutation Star】

  【Level: zero】

  【Difficulty: Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare. 】

Jiang Chen chose the easy difficulty.

  Not only saw the option to start exploring.

 At the same time, I also saw other people’s exploration records.

 【Passed by: Kevin Smith, rating: SSS, time: 18 minutes and 27 seconds. 】

These records are arranged from high to low based on evaluation. As Jiang Chen's thoughts flip down, there is no end in sight.

 This is a normal old shadow.

 In addition, there is an extremely special existence.

  【Basic Trial】

  【Level: zero】

  【Difficulty: Trial】

　　【Passed by: Jiang Chen, evaluated SSS. 】

 【Passed by: Li Zexin, evaluated SSS. 】

ˆ【Passed by:...】

 Although you cannot take the trial again, you can see the names and scores of those who passed.

Jiang Chen, as the latest SSS-level evaluation, is impressively ranked first.

 “… Damn it, what kind of setting is this?”

Jiang Chen couldn't help but curse.

It would be better if the evaluation is lower, ranking behind hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand people.

 If I want to see the specific names and reviews, I don’t know how long it will take to search.

  However, there are only nine SSS-level evaluations in the basic trial, ranking at the top, which is extremely eye-catching.

 Don’t say thank you to your seniors.

 All mecha masters, as long as they pay a little attention to the basic trial, they will know Jiang Chen’s name!
