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

Chapter 32 The descent into the abyss begins, the abyss of stars

  After the Zero Mecha is repaired, you can conduct an upgrade trial at any time.

However, Jiang Chen did not rush to start upgrading. Instead, he took out his personal terminal and clicked on the interface of the alliance forum.

 He planned to look at other people’s suggestions and strategies first and make final preparations.

However, when he turned the page, he saw many latest posts related to himself.

　　【The ninth SSS-level newcomer is a single-pass nightmare, his potential has been realized! 】

　　【The fastest record from Basic Trial to Nightmare Difficulty was broken by an SSS-level newcomer! 】

　　【Grapevine news, the ninth SSS-level newcomer has joined the alliance. 】

  【Welcome SSS-level newcomers! 】

　　　…”

Jiang Chen clicked on it and took a few glances, and found that his record of single-playing the nightmare difficulty Hundred Ghosts Uninterrupted was seen by some mecha masters, which caused a heated discussion.

 Some people say that newbies are monsters and that they will have a nightmare so quickly.

 Some say that the clearance evaluation is low, the talent of newcomers is average, and it is not much better than SS level.

There are different opinions, and the topic is all focused on this SSS-level newcomer.

Jiang Chen, as the center of the discussion, casually glanced at these posts and closed them.

As early as when he learned that the abyss would record everything, he already understood that he could no longer hide his genius.

Even if he has not cleared the Abyss, he is still an SSS-level newcomer on the same level as the Alliance Symbol, and his every move attracts attention.

 Because of this, he no longer cares about these things.

Does anyone else know that he has passed through the nightmare abyss alone?

　Where are we now!

 Xiaomeng will show you a new abyss difficulty another day.

 As for now, in the happiness brush attribute, do not cue.

Jiang Chen simply ignored these discussion posts and clicked on the highlights.

 Sure enough, I saw a post about the promotion trial.

These essence posts provide a thorough analysis of the upgrade trials from various angles such as background, difficulty, evaluation, concealment, rewards, etc.

 Strive to ensure that every mecha master who wants to upgrade can have a sufficient understanding of trials.

Furthermore, it has been emphasized over and over again that without sufficient assurance, it is better to block the bottleneck than to try to upgrade at will.

 Because, the promotion trial has only two results.

 Successfully break through, or fall into the abyss forever.

 There is no such thing as re-challenging after failure.

Of course, the zero-to-one trial is the most basic level-up trial, and the danger is not that exaggerated.

 As long as he doesn't seek death and acts cautiously, even an ordinary mecha master has a breakthrough probability of over 99%.

Jiang Chen is not an ordinary mecha master, but in order to pursue a higher evaluation, he will definitely "seek death", so he also reads the guide carefully.

 Especially the strategies related to settings and hiding, I have kept them in my mind.

 Subsequently, I went to Xiantian City and sold all the unused modules and materials to the material store, replacing them with ten first-level repair items.

These repair props can be effective on damaged mechas below level one.

 And when repairing the zero-level mecha, it only takes seven hours of repair time.

 The time limit for the upgrade trial is longer than the basic trial, reaching an astonishing ten days.

During this process, if the mecha is broken, Jiang Chen may not have time to repair it himself. It is safer to prepare repair props in advance.

 As for why we don’t prepare more...

If you blast your armor ten more times and stack your attributes ten more times, you won't be able to push through the level-up trial.

That only shows that the difficulty of the trial is really awesome.

 Having done all the preparation work.

Jiang Chen returned home.

Bai Ying couldn't help but speak.

“Sir, are you really going to start the promotion trial?”

 “Is it too hasty?”

 “How about preparing for a few more days…”

 More than a day has passed since the master finished the basic trial.

At this time, some weak new mecha masters are still in a comatose state due to the exhaustion of the basic trial and have not yet woken up.

 Your Excellency, you have already overcome the nightmare and are ready to advance.

Such an astonishing speed is unheard of even for Bai Ying, a seventh-level mecha.

Jiang Chen didn’t feel anything at all.     “I am already fully strengthened, fully equipped with modules, and fully equipped with characteristics.”

“If we continue to prepare, the most we can do is clear the Nightmare Abyss and save some contribution points, etc., which is not very efficient.”

“It’s better to break through early and unlock the upper limit.”

 “In this way, Zero can also have the opportunity to sublime.”

Even if you want to go to the Liver Abyss, it will still be a first-level Liver.

 What does liver level zero nightmare mean?

It’s just a junk notebook that can’t even produce an overclocking module!

Jiang Chen looked at Bai Ying and remembered one more thing.

“By the way, Bai Ying, if I go through the promotion trial, I won’t need your protection.”

“During this period, there shouldn’t be any deductions, right?”

　　　…”

 Bai Ying was speechless for a moment.

Your Excellency, it’s not because the hiring fee is too expensive, so you are eager to improve your strength and want to repay the commission as soon as possible, right?

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　iously

 “The contract has been in effect since I came to protect you.”

“Whether you are in the abyss or in this world, as long as I have not completed my mission and returned to my master, I will continue to accumulate contributions.”

“…How about you go back for a few days and wait until I complete the promotion trial before you come back?”

Jiang Chen looked at Bai Ying's confused expression and sighed.

“Forget it, just wait for me here.”

“Gan, it’s really expensive to move up a level...”

Jiang Chen made a fist with his right hand and touched the Yuan pattern.

 Transform and start descending into the abyss!

 The turbulent aura of the abyss surged out from the abyss pattern.

 Part of it was wrapped around Jiang Chen and evolved into Genman and Baiyan, forming a Zero mecha.

 The other part turned into lines of text before our eyes.

  【The descent into the abyss is about to begin】

  【10, 9, 8...】

 The countdown returns to zero.

This time, there was no abyss or crack opened at Jiang Chen’s feet.

 In his perception, time seemed to have stopped flowing.

Bai Ying's expression, the dust in the air, and even his own movements were all frozen in this moment.

 The invisible force seemed to pull him out of his body and turned him into a mass of mental energy.

His perspective penetrated the ceiling, the floors, the tall buildings, and kept floating upward—

  To be precise, it’s not floating.

 But fall.

The sky and the earth seemed to be turned upside down, the endless sky turned into an endless blue ocean, and the white clouds turned into islands.

Jiang Chen felt the gravity from the sky and continued to fall upwards, getting faster and faster.

 Penetrate through the clouds, penetrate the sky, until you are completely free from all this.

 The earth turned into a blue planet before our eyes.

Jiang Chen fell into the deep darkness and came to the boundless starry sky.

 In the boundless starry sky, pitch black is the absolute main color. No matter how many bright stars there are, constantly emitting light and heat, they cannot illuminate the darkness.

On the contrary, against the dark background, it feels like you are in a bottomless abyss.

 Can only emit fragile and perishable light.

 The further away you go, the less and dimmer the light becomes.

 The darkness is getting deeper and deeper.

Jiang Chen, under the influence of "gravity", broke away from the stars and fell into the deepest abyss.

 Until he broke through a certain limit, the endless light of the stars dimmed by half in an instant.

The speed of his fall gradually slowed down, and he fell into a certain star, a certain galaxy, a certain planet, the atmosphere, and a tall building.

 Until…

 Fall back into your own body.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes and saw a strange planet and a strange earth through the mecha's eyepieces.

 【Welcome to the abyss】
