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

Chapter 17 Crazy consumption, buy high-end modules!

 Jiang Chen was not surprised that Genman Core was only worth a thousand contributions.

 While it provides the mecha's self-healing capability, it also sacrifices a certain amount of mecha's combat power.

  It just so happens that new mecha masters don’t need much mecha endurance, but rather core combat capabilities.

 After all, even if the mecha can automatically repair itself, enemies that cannot be defeated will still be defeated, which is meaningless.

 Only people with special talents like Jiang Chen would consider using it to build mechas.

 What surprised Jiang Chen.

 The [Soul of Life] trait that he doesn’t care much about is worth up to 30,000 contributions?

 Even if all other materials and modules are added up, the price is only less than one-third of the characteristics of the Soul of Life.

Why can it sell so much? !

 Do you like chatting with animals and plants so much?

  Alliance staff explained.

“The most precious quality of the soul of life is not communicating with animals and plants, but the seemingly inconspicuous ability to [perceive the emotions of dead things].”

“Its essence is the [soul] that enables people to perceive objects.”

“You know, the mecha itself is a dead thing.”

“When the mecha master uses the soul of life trait, he gains the ability to [perceive the machine soul].”

“Even if it is not equipped with an intelligent module, it can still communicate with the mecha, improve the bond and fit between itself and the mecha, and at certain times, it can even explode with overclocking power..."

“Of course, I have only heard about such idealistic things and have never really seen them.”

“In fact, the reason why the Life Soul trait is expensive is because the ability to [perceive machine soul] is an essential quality for mecha repairers and enhancers.”

“Only those who can sense the spirit of the machine can perfectly repair the mecha or achieve perfect strengthening conditions..."

“Unfortunately, there are several qualities that allow a mecha master to perceive the machine soul, and the soul of life is not the most perfect.”

“In addition, the soul of life trait can be produced in shallow abyss.”

 “Otherwise, the price of this trait would be at least one more zero.”

Perception of machine soul?

 What are the necessary abilities for enhancers and repairmen?

Jiang Chen suddenly realized.

However, he already knows that the mecha master can only obtain one new trait at each level, and the number is very limited.

 He doesn’t have much interest in machine souls, and he doesn’t want to become a strengthener or repairer for the time being.

 There is no use keeping the Soul of Life trait, just sell it and exchange it for contribution points that you can freely use.

 And as long as you collect enough start-up funds, you can strengthen the mecha.

Jiang Chen has the ability to explore the abyss of high difficulty and will soon be able to earn more contributions.

 If you need it in the future, just buy it at that time.

  Confirm the sale.

Jiang Chen’s contribution balance has skyrocketed to nearly 40,000!

 An excellent quality zero-level accessory module can be purchased directly with only 500 contribution points!

 Forty thousand contribution points is definitely a huge amount for a new mecha master!

 Next, it’s time to consume.

 “I need enhanced materials and modules related to life and vitality.”

 “As long as they are of excellent or above quality.”

 Alliance employees heard Jiang Chen’s implication.

 “Also those above zero level?”

"Um."

Jiang Chen nodded.

Although high-level materials are used to strengthen low-level mechas, the full effect cannot be exerted, which is extravagant and wasteful.

 But to think about it differently, doesn’t this mean that the effect has reached its limit?

 As for the price issue…

 It’s okay, he has money!

 Use it to strengthen mechas, don’t feel bad!

The alliance employee pressed a few buttons, and a holographic panel appeared in front of Jiang Chen, listing rows of materials.

  【Leaves of Life】

  【Level: one】

【Excellent quality】

  【Type: Material】

【Effect: When used to strengthen mechas, it can enhance and stimulate potential vitality, and increase the upper limit of armor and recovery speed. 】

  【Description: This is the piece left after the tree of life was burned. 】

 【Price: 2000 contribution/piece】

 Well, the first-level excellent materials are indeed a bit expensive.

 Before the mecha can be upgraded, it must be strengthened ten times. Each time it is strengthened, more than one material is consumed.

  If during the strengthening process, all first-order excellent materials shall be used.

Jiang Chen’s contribution value of 40,000 is not even enough to strengthen it ten times.

“The mecha can at most exert the effect of materials and modules of one higher quality.”

 “Ordinary mechas can use excellent materials.”

“The effect of first-order excellence overflows too much.”

“Just buy ten of them and use them as the main materials for each enhancement. If the auxiliary materials are excellent at level 0, they will also be effective.”

 Leaves of life, radiant crystals, natural rocks, vitality springs…

 All the materials for the ten enhancements cost Jiang Chen a total of 24,000 contributions.

 Among them, most of them are the consumption of first-order excellent materials.

 In addition, Jiang Chen also purchased three first-order accessory modules.

  …    【Crystal rock shell】

  【Equal order: zero (one)】

 【Quality: Excellent】

  【Type: Armor Module】

【Effect: After loading, gain full outer armor, increase armor value by 40, defense by 3. 】

  【Description: Your crystal ore is insufficient, please replenish it in time. 】

  【Price: 2000 contribution】

 …

  【Enhancement of source quality】

  【Equal order: zero (one)】

 【Quality: Excellent】

  【Type: Special Module】

  【Effect: After loading, gain the essence enhancement, increase strength by 3, agility by 3, and defense by 1. 】

  【Description: The power of life flows in my body. 】

  【Price: 2000 contribution】

 …

  【Blood Demon Transformation】

  【Equal order: zero (one)】

 【Quality: Excellent】

  【Type: Special Module】

  【Effect: After loading, gain the blood devil conversion ability, which can convert armor value into energy at a speed of 0.5/s, and vice versa. 】

  【Description: Inexhaustible source of life energy! 】

  【Price: 11,000 contribution. 】

 …

 Three first-level excellent quality accessory modules, consuming a total of 15,000 contribution points.

 Among them, the price of Blood Demon Transformation is undoubtedly the most expensive, and the prices of the other two accessory modules combined are less than half of it!

 This is also because of its effect, which is so useful.

 The rapid conversion of armor value and energy is equivalent to sharing the recovery speed between the two, which can be combined into a lot of routines.

 For example, the armor recovery speed brought by the Root Enhancement Module is 0.1/s.

 For some mecha masters who prefer long-range output and do not engage in close combat at all, it is relatively useless and almost impossible to be effective.

 However, with Blood Demon Transformation, you can turn it into energy recovery speed.

 This allows these mecha masters to use long-range weapons unscrupulously, and the output efficiency is greatly improved.

 It is the core component of Blood Demon Flow!

  Unfortunately, as a first-order module, its quality is only excellent.

Although the output quantity has increased a lot, the potential of high-quality mechas cannot be fully utilized.

 For this reason, it is often used to strengthen Tier 0 mechas, and the price is also affected.

Otherwise, let alone 10,000 yuan, even 110,000 yuan may not be able to buy it!

Jiang Chen decisively captured it.

  After replacing three auxiliary modules and adding the overclocking core module.

  The properties of the Zero Mecha have undergone tremendous changes.

 【Codename: Zero Type 2】

 【Type: full-coverage light armor】

 【Quality: Ordinary】

  【Equal order: zero】

  【Reinforcement: Zero】

  【Attributes: Strength 4, Agility 4, Defense 5, Mystery 0. 】

  【Armor: 50/50, recovery speed 0.1/s. 】

  【Energy: 10/10, recovery speed 0.01/s. 】

  【Core module: Root core (overclocking)】

  【Affiliated modules: crystal rock shell, source quality enhancement, blood demon transformation. 】

 Compared with the basic trial.

 The current Zero armor’s strength and agility have been reduced, replaced by powerful defense, armor, and recovery capabilities.

“If I have to say it, although I have replaced it with a better module, the current combat effectiveness is actually not too high...”

“After all, if three auxiliary modules and one core module are all used to stack attributes.”

“It can increase the strength and agility of the mecha to more than ten points!”

“With this kind of attribute gap, when fighting head-on, even if the defense is stronger, it will not help.”

"but…"

 Ten points of strength and agility?

Jiang Chen can increase these two values ​​by blasting his armor a few more times and stacking up his attributes.

Just like he crushed the root giant.

  Comparatively, his needs for the first piece of armor are more focused on defense and survival.

 After all, if you have high attack and low defense, you can return to strength, but it is also easy to die suddenly.

 And as long as he lives, he can have almost endless growth!
