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

Chapter 16 Life Mecha, Immortal [Two in One]

Xiantian City is an oval fortress with a diameter of more than ten kilometers.

It has multiple modules such as gravity, stealth, and ecology, allowing people to move freely on the surface without wearing mechas.

To this day, it serves as the headquarters of the alliance, with strange-shaped buildings standing on its surface, forming a city in space.

 There are people wearing ordinary clothes walking around the city streets.

 There are also all kinds of mechas, large and small, flying over the city.

“This is a city built on mechas and dedicated to mecha masters!”

“I don’t know if this Xuntian City can be transformed into a mecha form and move again.”

"However, the mere appearance of a mecha of this size in the city is enough to cause a catastrophe..."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel his heart surge.

To be honest, a smart mecha like Bai Ying, who is an ordinary person in size, does not give him the powerful sense of oppression of a "seventh-level mecha".

On the contrary, it was the glimpse of Xuntian City that gave him a glimpse of the power of the eighth-level mecha master.

 Taking into account that the mecha has not only its size, but also weapons and equipment of the same level.

 An eighth-level mecha, without the resistance of the same-level mecha, is estimated to be able to easily destroy all countries and cities on Blue Star.

 Even, it is possible to directly destroy the Blue Star itself!

 No wonder countries have formed alliances without many constraints, only supervision and guidance.

 The real right to speak has been transferred to the hands of the mecha masters.

Jiang Chen followed Bai Ying, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, dazzled by what she saw.

Every mecha passing by could not help but take a few more glances.

There are both Iron Man-like metal mechas like Senior Xie's; there are also magic mechas that are seven or eight meters tall, made of unknown material, and have incantations engraved on their surfaces.

 They all look pretty powerful.

Soon, Jiang Chen came to the alliance office, collected genetic information, registered personal information, and received a personal terminal.

During this period, under Bai Ying's deliberate suppression, except for the young lady at the front desk who almost screamed, it didn't cause much trouble.

 After all, Jiang Chen didn’t write his name on his face.

Others don’t know it yet, but he is the latest SSS-level newcomer.

 After completing the formalities, Bai Ying said while standing on the streets of Xantian City.

“Sir, you have officially joined the alliance and are qualified to use teleportation magic.”

“Next, do you want to return to Blue Star, or take a walk around the city?”

 “I can show you the way.”

 Processing trial harvests, querying enhancement methods, purchasing mecha modules, and conducting mecha enhancements...

Jiang Chen has a lot of things to do and is in no hurry to return to Blue Star.

 He thought for a moment and then spoke.

“I want to strengthen my initial mecha, but I don’t know how to match modules and materials.”

“Is there any place in Xiantian City that provides mecha plans?”

Bai Ying said: "Sir, the personal terminal you received when you registered your information has this function."

 Personal terminal?

Jiang Chen did receive a device similar to a mobile phone.

However, he thought that this device only provided identity authentication, recorded contribution value, and facilitated the task dispatcher entrusted by the alliance to be received at any time.

 So I didn’t look at it carefully and just put it away.

 So there are other functions?

At this time, Jiang Chen took out his personal terminal again, activated it and opened it.

 A selection interface similar to Yuanwen appeared on the screen.

 In addition to [Personal Information] and [Task Request] he was thinking of, there are also [Team Hall], [Alliance Forum], [Mecha Blueprints], [Item Trading]...

“This is Yuanwen’s function expansion MOD? What little genius came up with it?”

Jiang Chen could barely hold his nerve.

Originally, Yuanwen has four interfaces: personal, mecha, warehouse, and copy.

With the addition of these personal terminals, the game has come to reality, right?

 Le Gui Le, convenience is quite convenient.

Jiang Chen opened the [Mecha Drawings] column and the first usage introduction popped up.

【All mecha drawings and evolution paths on this interface have been verified by the alliance and are authentic. They can provide you with ideas for the evolution and strengthening of mechas. 】

　　【View the details of the drawings, you need to consume the corresponding contribution points to purchase them, they are for personal reference only, and private disclosure is strictly prohibited. 】

【You can also upload your own mecha drawings and evolution paths. After the alliance is approved, they can be entered into the drawing library for reference by others and for contributions. 】

 The initial mecha of all mecha masters is the zero mecha.

 So, theoretically speaking.

 As long as the strengthening process uses exactly the same materials, modules, and cores.

　　You can 100% follow the path of your predecessors and evolve an identical new mecha!

 This is [drawing] and [path].

 For many mecha masters, instead of matching their own modules and materials, they randomly evolve an unknown mecha.

  It is better to learn the blueprints directly and you can stably produce high-quality mechas.

It is naturally impossible for Jiang Chen to copy the drawings—

If you want to use an overclocking module, there are no drawings for him to copy.

 He mainly wanted to use the drawings to see other people's evolutionary paths and provide himself with some ideas for mecha enhancements.

 At this point, he closes the novice tip.

 Mecha blueprints and evolutionary paths appear on the screen one by one.

 They are arranged according to comprehensive values ​​such as popularity, level, quality, and number of purchases.

The number one ranking is the [Divine Master Armor] that the "Alliance Symbol" used to kill five eighth-level mecha masters who used overclocking modules!

 Even have its drawings?

 And it seems to be free?

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he decisively clicked on the drawing interface of the Shen main armor.

 The screen switches quickly.

  【Drawing: Divine Main Armor】

 【Equal level: eighth level】

 【Quality: Epic】

  【Strengthen: Unknown】

  【Module: Unknown】

  【Note: If interested, please contact me directly. 】

　　　…”

 Well, if you think about it, you will know that such top-level mecha blueprints cannot be directly hung in the mall for others to check.

  After all, getting the mecha drawings is equivalent to knowing the mecha’s numerical values ​​and abilities.

 For the top eighth-level mecha masters, it is easy to encounter targets.

Jiang Chen looked through the other eighth-level mecha blueprints.

 Including the survey mecha, all the drawings of these mechas are in an unknown state, and you need to contact me to obtain them.

Jiang Chen filtered out these useless high-level blueprints and switched to the interface of first-level mecha blueprints.

 Found the first-level blueprint of the Divine Mecha [Inscribed Mecha], which is now available for purchase.

 All newcomers who join the alliance can receive one hundred contributions as a basic benefit, and only one point is needed to unlock the blueprint of the inscribed mecha.

 The price is one percent of other first-level drawings, which is approximately equivalent to getting it for free.

  After unlocking the blueprint, it is no longer unknown inside.

 From the combination of modules, to the proportion of strengthening materials, and even the attributes, values, and abilities of the mecha, it can be said that it is extremely detailed.

 According to the drawings, it will be possible to build exactly the same inscribed mecha.

 “The boss is awesome!”

Jiang Chen couldn't help but be amazed.

It can be expected that with such cheap and detailed blueprints, coupled with the outstanding achievements of divine mechas, many mecha masters will definitely choose this path to reach eighth-level mechas.

Perhaps there are many "young bodies" of divine master armors in Xiantian City now.

Even if you don’t choose this path, you can still use the ideas for building the inscribed mecha as a reference.

Just like Jiang Chen now. After browsing the detailed drawings of the inscription mecha, he already had some ideas.

 Subsequently, I unlocked several similar first-level mecha blueprints that were cheap but represented the eighth-level path, and took a look at their construction ideas.

 Ideas also take shape quickly.

“These top-level mechas have taken advantage of the first-level sublimation opportunity to maximize their potential, thus pushing their quality to an excellent level.”

“And the overclocking module I own, when sublimating the mecha, the starting point is excellent quality.”

“So, only by building an excellent mecha can I realize the full potential of the overclocking module.”

“To achieve all this, we must carry out strengthening and transformation around the attributes and capabilities of the core modules.”

Jiang Chen already had an idea in his mind.

 Overclocking module: The core of the root and vine, the most prominent part is the wood attribute and recovery speed.

 But these are just appearances.

 Its root is actually [life] and [vitality].

 Just like the names of the monsters in the basic trial.

 Whether they are thin or strong, whether they are spider-shaped or sickle-shaped, their names have not changed at all - [Mutants].

And the giant with powerful attributes and endless vitality, which has smashed the root giant many times without dying, is named [Newborn].

 This may mean that the real source of roots and vines is not parasitism and mutation.

 It is an evolution of life levels, a new life of immortality.

 It’s just that the human beings of the imperial civilization were unable to withstand this kind of evolution, which resulted in mutations, the collapse of civilization, and the transformation into eroded mutants.

 In the end, plants combined with human genes and gained new life.

　　 became [root vine].

 Hence, if Jiang Chen wants to unleash the true power of Genman’s core, he doesn’t necessarily have to focus on the “wood attribute”.

Rather, it is the ultimate catalysis of “life attributes”.

 Thus creating a [Life Mecha] with endless vitality!

 “Life, immortality, nirvana…”

 “This is the true core of the first mecha.”

“When I strengthen it to the extreme and then absorb it, I can also obtain this endless vitality.”

“It’s even possible to control the legendary law of life and gain the power of immortality and blood rebirth!”

Jiang Chen already has ideas for strengthening the first mecha.

 The materials needed to strengthen the mecha, as well as the matching modules, have also been revealed.

 Since the focus is on vitality, there is no need to focus on wood-based materials.

You can also use some water-based and earth-based materials that contain vitality.

  The former can be paired with the Genman Core to strengthen the recovery ability of the mecha and improve the energy drive of the mecha.

  The latter can also nourish roots and vines and strengthen defense capabilities.

 These are all complementary to each other.

 In this way, most of the modules and materials obtained from the basic trial are related to mutation and are of no use and can be disposed of directly.

 As for the problem of lack of attack means.

  It can be solved by making weapons.

  You can also make up for this shortcoming by focusing more on attack and destruction when building the second mecha.

Bai Ying saw Jiang Chen put away his personal terminal and asked.

 “Sir, do you already have an idea?”

“Well, I have an idea, but in terms of materials, it’s a bit different.”

“I plan to sell some materials and modules to exchange for the materials I need. Do you know where I should go?”

 Although there is an option to trade items on a personal terminal, items need to be verified before they can be listed for sale on the alliance’s platform.

Jiang Chen obtained a lot of materials in the basic trial, most of which are level 0 ordinary and of low value. It would be too troublesome to put them up for sale.

 It is better to find a store and sell them in bulk directly.

 “Sir, please follow me.”

 …

Bai Ying took Jiang Chen to the material store opened by the alliance.

 You can either consign items here to facilitate transactions on the platform, or you can directly sell materials to the alliance at market prices to quickly exchange for contributions.

Jiang Chen asked the alliance employees to vacate a warehouse, then went to the top of the warehouse and touched the Yuan pattern.

With a series of collisions and falling sounds, countless blood fusion metals and plant tissues filled more than half of the warehouse.

 “These are ordinary quality materials.”

“In addition, there are thirty-one zero-level ordinary modules, seven zero-level excellent modules, and thirteen zero-level excellent materials…”

Jiang Chen returned to the ground and placed a box of modules on the table.

　　　…”

 The alliance employees were silent for a moment.

The amount of materials sold by this mecha master is almost as high as that of some high-level mecha masters, but his level is only level 0...

  In the shadow of the old days at level 0, it was not easy to obtain so many materials even in the basic trial with a very high explosion rate.

How many monsters did this mecha master kill? !

 Could he be the SSS-level newcomer?

You know, three or four hours have passed since Jiang Chen passed the basic trial.

  The ninth SSS-level evaluation occurred in the basic trial, which has caused great turmoil in the mecha division forums at home and abroad.

 Including the eighth-level mecha masters, many people are paying attention to the newcomer named Jiang Chen.

It’s just that Jiang Chen’s name is very characteristic of the Xia Kingdom.

The Xia Kingdom is also the territory of the strongest mecha division, the "alliance symbol".

 That’s why everything seems so calm.

Unexpectedly, this newcomer has joined the alliance without saying a word and even came to the headquarters...

The alliance employees couldn't help but observe the newcomer while scanning the warehouse, and said.

“A total of three hundred and twenty-seven level zero ordinary materials.”

"This material is usually a consumable used by new blacksmiths and new strengtheners for practice. It is not of high value. The purchase price is 5 contribution points/one."

“The same applies to the ordinary accessory modules of level 0, which are of average value. The purchase price is 50 contribution points per module.”

“Excellent quality materials, 150 contributions/one.”

“Excellent quality accessory modules, 500 contributions/one.”

“These materials and modules are relatively common, and their prices are relatively stable, with a total contribution of 8,635 points.”

 “Do you want to sell it all?”

 The price of excellent quality modules is exactly ten times that of ordinary modules and a hundred times that of ordinary materials!

Just seven high-quality accessory modules are worth more than half of the ordinary materials in the warehouse.

Isn't this too exaggerated? !

Jiang Chen couldn't help but click his tongue.

 The rarer the modules and materials, the greater the price gap.

 Some of the rarest modules, even low-level ones, may be sold for sky-high prices.

 No wonder Senior Xie said that he can make a lot of money in the future.

 “All for sale.”

These things Jiang Chen took out were all materials that he had selected and could no longer use.

 The sale was directly confirmed and all was converted into contribution value.

 Then he touched Yuanwen, and a chip and a green gem appeared in his palm.

“There is also an excellent quality core chip here, and a mecha master trait.”

“How much are these two items worth?”

“Genman core module, this is a relatively unpopular core module, not many people use it, and it is worth 1,000 contributions.”

The alliance employee scanned the gem and suddenly his eyes lit up.

“Soul of Life trait? Worth 30,000 contributions!”
