Chapter 137: Chapter 107 He’s Really, I’m Crying My Eyes Out!_1
“Mythical Item, straight to the soul?”
“It has to be Master Chao, this is too generous!”
Jiang Chen had just come to the Endless Difficulty Level to consolidate some experience and to say farewell to Master Chao, expressing gratitude for the latter’s angel investment.
He had not expected that Master Chao, not only reluctant to part, but also gave the most precious gift upon departure.
The [Supercharge Upgrade] tool!
This tool’s versatility was too strong, its value at least ten times more than a Supercharge Module—and that’s even before considering the module’s value before it depreciated.
You must understand, it could not only be used to enhance ordinary modules that had already been absorbed by a mecha, thereby step by step transforming an ordinary mecha into a Supercharged Mecha…
It could also be used to enhance [any] ordinary module, forcing it into supercharge!
What did this mean?
On a smaller scale, it was equivalent to a top-tier Supercharge Module.
As long as big shots like Li Xiao completed their rank ascension trials and handed any 9th Rank ordinary modules to Jiang Chen, he could instantly turn them into 9th Rank Supercharged Modules.
As strong as you get, there is no limit to the enhanced strength.
On a larger scale, it turned the alliance’s twenty years of ordinary module reserves into Supercharged Module reserves!
Jiang Chen had previously struggled to scrap together four sets of 1st Rank after grinding for eight hundred Supercharged, due to a lack of Supercharged Module stocks.
If he had the [Supercharge Upgrade] tool, he could easily pick ordinary modules that fit together well and upgrade them directly.
Furthermore, the combinations of Supercharged modules available for selection would increase exponentially!
After all, a single Age-Old Shadow could only produce up to a dozen or so types of Supercharged Modules.
The number of ordinary modules it could produce, on the other hand, was truly innumerable.
“I promised Zero that I would help her unlock her potential to become a true Supercharged Mecha.”
“The first Supercharge Upgrade tool will definitely be used on her.”
While Jiang Chen was delighted, he also felt increasingly aware of the depth of those ancient civilizations.
Planet Blue Star had only been accumulating for twenty years, and the Age-Old Shadows explored at each level only yielded one hundred fifty items.
The majority of the Age-Old Shadows had not been entirely cleared, and their outputs remained unclear.
What about those ancient civilizations?
Continuing for so many years, who knows how many Age-Old Shadows they have explored, how many module stocks they have accumulated.
If all these modules could be upgraded into Supercharged…
Jiang Chen found it hard to imagine just how strong their people of hope would be—
This strength was not just in terms of attributes and bonuses but also in terms of capabilities!
Just like Jiang Chen, who currently had a basic stat of fifty thousand, but under the effects of module abilities, external equipment, and mecha pilot traits, could deliver a strike of two hundred sixty thousand strength.
The people of hope from those ancient civilizations, with the support of a vast pool of modules, would certainly be able to achieve a similar level.
“Consolidation must continue!”
“Having only strength and agility would render one freakishly frail. Either I wipe someone out in an instant, or they do the same to me.”
“I must strengthen Zero, compensating for her defensive capabilities as well…”
“Since I can unleash more than five times the damage capacity, I must also be able to unleash more than five times the defensive capability.”
“Only then would it be considered a healthy body!”
“Break free from the abyss!”
After returning to Star Base, Jiang Chen resumed his mecha repair work.
However, destroying two mechas at once meant he could stack the attributes of both, but the repair time also doubled.
It took Jiang Chen five hours to fully repair both mechas.
Holding his repair tools and looking at the revived Ash Girl and steam mecha before him, he had a thought.
“The number of mechas I will have in the future will only increase.”
“If all of them get destroyed in a battle, the time spent repairing mechas will take up most of my consolidation time…”
“Should I choose [High-Speed Repair] for my third mecha pilot trait?”
High-Speed Repair is one of the mecha pilot traits recorded by the alliance, originating from Abyss Level 3.
The effect is to greatly increase the speed at which a mecha pilot repairs mechas, even allowing for repairs to be conducted during combat.
Ordinary mecha pilots do not possess Jiang Chen’s astonishing recovery speed.
For example, the Roots Core Module, even at 0th Rank, could perform as a 1st Rank item, providing a mecha recovery speed of 0.1/s.
Taking into account the doubling effect, a normal 1st Rank self-repair module could provide about 0.2/s in mecha recovery speed.
Only a 2nd Rank module could provide a recovery speed of 2.0/s.
Placed under sunlight, it would recover about 0.72 thousand Armor Value in an hour.
This is the normal state for an ordinary mecha pilot—
It’s not possible to simply equip a 1st Rank self-repair module and recover dozens or hundreds of armor value per second, achieving ongoing repairs while in combat indefinitely.
It is a mecha, not a miraculous human body.
The same principle applies to the recovery speed of energy.
This unconditional automatic recovery is meant for sustaining operations, not for recuperating during combat.
This is also why many mecha pilots exploring high-difficulty levels of the abyss often take several hours.
Fight a bit, rest a bit, explore slowly.
When Jiang Chen fought the Fire Plunderer, it was the same principle.
The opponent had a total of three mecha pilots, each with several mechas.
However, to repel the earlier waves of mecha pilots, their other mechas had consumed too much energy and were almost depleted, so they were retracted for recovery.
As a result, they were not of much use in the subsequent battles.
Therefore, the High-Speed Repair trait for mecha pilots is a popular choice among support-type mecha pilots.
It can provide temporary mecha repairs during combat, allowing the mecha to gain high-speed recovery capabilities, earning high praise from many key players.
