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

Chapter 25 Mecha Strengthening, Type Zero III

 Xiantian City, strengthened area.

Here occupies nearly one-fifth of the area of ​​Xantian City, and there are several large buildings over 100 meters tall, which look very conspicuous.

Jiang Chen followed Bai Ying here, and finally saw Senior Ruan's true form at the entrance.

 Compared with the white shadow projection of the woman in a bright yellow dress.

Senior Ruan was wearing a black shirt and a white coat. His hair was a little messy, his face was full of tiredness and there were dark circles under his eyes.

  Compared to the seventh-level mecha master, he is more like a sleepy researcher.

Is this the difference between online photo scammers and offline real people?

 “Yo, the rising star of tomorrow!”

Senior Ruan said hello and said.

"Repairing mechas requires relatively low environmental requirements. You can prepare a few repair props and you can repair them at home..."

“If you strengthen the mecha, it will be more stringent.”

“Especially when using top-quality materials, if you want to achieve perfect results, you need a corresponding environment—”

“For example, Lao Chen, in order to strengthen his Sun mecha, even went to the star to set up a private strengthening field.”

“I also have several strengthening fields, but they are all for my own use. Unless you plan to follow the same path as me, it is not suitable for you.”

“Let’s make do with it here in Xantian City first.”

“Although the enhanced environment here is poor, the advantage is that there are many kinds of mechas. No matter what kind of mecha they are, they can find a suitable environment.”

“It should be enough before your mecha undergoes a second sublimation.”

Ruan Mingyu did not do everything directly, but explained the ins and outs to Jiang Chen in more detail.

  After all, at the growth rate of SSS-level newcomers.

 It won’t be long before he will face these problems.

Jiang Chen also nodded, keeping these words in his heart.

Ruan Mingyu asked.

“By the way, have you already thought about the strengthening route for the first mecha?”

 “What is the tendency?”

 “Life, vitality.”

 …

Jiang Chen didn’t hide anything and told his idea for the [Life Mecha] in detail.

Ruan Mingyu did not comment on this.

  After all, Blue Star currently only has less than two palms of overclocking modules in existence.

Even though she is a seventh-level mecha master, she has only heard of this extremely rare module and has never actually seen it.

 In this case, how can you give your opinion?

 She is just a ruthless enhancement tool.

Of course, Ruan Mingyu, as a seventh-level tool man, can completely understand Jiang Chen’s idea, and led him into the strengthening area and found the corresponding venue—

 The space the size of a football field is filled with lush shrubs and vines.

In the middle of these shrubs, there is a clear pool of water, exuding the breath of life.

 “The fountain of life, the product of the mysterious side.”

“It contains the divine power of the Mother of Life and the God of Nature. Even just a trace of power is enough to strengthen your mecha and provide corresponding catalyst.”

Jiang Chen stood on the edge of the pool and felt that all the cells in his body became active and his physical strength became extremely abundant.

 He spoke in surprise.

 “Is this thing also effective on humans?”

"certainly."

 Ruan Mingyu looked calm.

“As a fountain of life, just one drop of water is enough to bring people surging life force, making diseases retreat and injuries healed.”

“Drinking a lot of it can even make up for physical damage and extend life to the limit of the human body.”

 A precious treasure that can cure diseases and prolong life.

It was actually placed in the strengthening area and used as a consumable prop when strengthening the mecha?

Isn’t this too luxurious?

After Jiang Chen was frightened, he remembered Ruan Mingyu's previous words.

 The reinforcement environment here is poor…

This is called a difference?

Hmm... after all, these are the output of the abyss.

Perhaps high-level mecha masters can obtain more precious things in the abyss.

However, no matter what, the value of the fountain of life is here, and it must not be used casually.

“Senior Ruan, how much contribution does it cost to use the Fountain of Life?”

“The cost is not calculated based on the number of times, but based on the consumption of spring water.”

“If you strengthen the zero-level mecha, no matter how high-grade the materials are, it won’t cost you much. At most, it will only cost 20,000 to 30,000 contributions.”

 Twenty to thirty thousand contributions…

  It is another price of the source of life trait.

Ruan Mingyu couldn't help but smile when he saw Jiang Chen's expression.

“If you want to fully utilize the mecha’s potential, you will naturally have to pay an extra price. Just get used to it.”

"It's only a contribution of twenty to thirty thousand, I'll cover it for you first." "As for the cost of strengthening the mecha, I'll give it to you according to the market price. Ten enhancements will make a total contribution of five thousand."

“The repair fee for the zero-level mecha is just a fraction, so I’ll give it to you.”

 “If you have something to contribute, just give it to me.”

 “The boss is wise!”

Jiang Chen decisively gave his blessing to the boss.

 With Senior Ruan's support, he can improve himself at a faster speed, gain attributes while clearing the difficult abyss, and earn contributions.

 The first wave of start-up capital from angel investors is the most precious.

 “Put the mecha out, I’ll help you repair it first.”

 …

Ruan Mingyu is not just repairing the mecha.

She also took this opportunity to slow down the repair speed and teach how to repair the mecha.

  Demonstrate to Jiang Chen step by step how to convert the abyss coins into the abyss breath, repair the completely damaged mecha, and awaken the injured machine soul.

Jiang Chen was also studying hard and memorizing the steps in his heart.

 The whole process took a full five hours, longer than some advanced repair tools.

However, according to what Senior Ruan said.

 As long as you master the skills, you can complete the repair work within three hours.

On this basis, if you master the characteristics of communicating with the machine soul, you can shorten the repair time to one hour.

 With a repair speed of one hour, even if Jiang Chen's speed is a little slower, he can still explode the armor at least ten or twenty times a day!

But Jiang Chen couldn't go through a cycle of blasting armor, repairing, and blasting armor all day long without eating or drinking.

By doing this, not only will you become a boring armor blaster, but your efficiency will also be very low.

 After all, when a mecha upgrades, its attributes will increase greatly.

 The limit of a zero-level mecha is only a dozen attributes.

 At the first level, it can reach more than one hundred.

 Including the quality bonus, one blast of armor is worth dozens of times of level 0 armor blasts!

This kind of attribute improvement will only become more and more exaggerated.

 Hence, improving the quality and attributes of mechas is the best way to grow. Simply blasting armor and repairing it is just an auxiliary in this process.

After Senior Ruan repaired the mecha, he began to strengthen the mecha.

During this process, she focused all her energy on strengthening the mecha, without further communication, and only let Jiang Chen watch and learn by himself.

 Integrate each material into the Zero mecha.

 Senior Ruan's mental state gradually deteriorated, and the circles under his eyes became a little deeper.

 Jiang Chen suddenly felt enlightened when he saw her change.

 In order for the mecha to perfectly absorb the effect of materials, the mecha master will invest a lot of energy when strengthening it, which is a severe test of the spirit.

 Just the strengthening of the zero-level mecha consumes so much energy.

 Senior Ruan had just broken through not long ago. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the third sublimation and strengthening of his mecha. He didn't know how long it took.

It is understandable that he looks so tired.

 In this case, she still accepted her invitation and took time to strengthen her mecha...

Jiang Chen was moved in his heart.

 When you reach the first level, help Senior Ruan get a few more materials, which can be regarded as reciprocating a favor.

 As for the five thousand contributions that Senior Ruan mentioned...

Jiang Chen didn’t take it seriously at all.

 Contribution of market price of 5,000?

 Find someone else to find a seventh-level mecha master, tell him the price, and see if the other person ignores you and you're done.

 “It has been strengthened, see for yourself.”

 The time consumed by strengthening is actually shorter than repairing.

Ruan Mingyu put away his tools and couldn't help but yawned.

Jiang Chen also couldn’t wait to reach out and touch the purple and white mecha lying in the spring of life.
