Chapter 141: Chapter 109: Why Would the Invincible Me Need to Lie_1
Jiang Chen came in pursuit of a high-energy reaction and quickly dealt with the rampaging abyss monsters.
These few abyss monsters that had burrowed up from underground were clearly just appetizers.
They were only 0th Rank in strength; even ordinary people armed with powerful firearms could focus fire and kill them, so they didn’t pose a great threat.
What did surprise Jiang Chen, however, was the change that occurred at the scene after he had dealt with the monsters.
How much time had passed since the monsters appeared?
And yet, a native girl had already awakened an Abyss Rune and gained the qualifications to become a mecha pilot!
Although the time of awakening was not tied to the strength of one’s talent…
Jiang Chen still felt a heightened expectation for this girl named Xiang Jing.
Even mobile games had a boost for the first draw…
After all, as the first mecha pilot of the civilization, she couldn’t have awakened a completely useless talent, could she?
In addition, the fact that Xiang Jing had awakened her Abyss Rune also reminded Jiang Chen.
The world of the “Earth Cataclysm” seemed to be quite similar to Planet Blue Star, there was a good chance that these survivors of monster attacks could awaken Abyss Runes.
But this world did not have the Mecha Pilots Alliance of Planet Blue Star.
There was also no intelligence related to abyss, mechas, or modules; it all needed to be explored step by step.
Just like on Planet Blue Star, the Supercharge Module of the first SSS-class mecha pilot was not stolen; rather, information about it leaked out as he grew stronger.
That was why, subsequently, the Supercharge Modules of the next five SSS-class mecha pilots were stolen.
Therefore, if Jiang Chen ignored these survivors who had awakened Abyss Runes…
The early-stage mecha pilots of this world would probably pay a great price to gradually uncover all sorts of intelligence.
“The more I think about it, the more I feel Steam World really had it tough…”
“I wonder how Laila and the others are doing now.”
Jiang Chen certainly would not repeat past mistakes.
He asked the young man next to Xiang Jing to take out the recording equipment and started recording a video.
Then, he gathered the nearby survivors.
Just like Senior Xie had done before, he explained to them the information about the abyss, Abyss Runes, mecha pilots, and the basic trial.
Considering this video could potentially become the “Seed of Civilization” for this world,
Jiang Chen spoke with more detail than Senior Xie had, including some settings about talents.
The survivors at the entrance of the shopping mall, already terrified by the abyss monsters, didn’t have the courage to oppose the arrangements of the enormous mecha.
Listening to his presentation, they were as confused as if they were listening to a story.
No one knew how much they had actually comprehended.
Only the siblings Xiang Hui and Xiang Jing listened with intense focus.
Monsters from underground and a gold-red mecha continuously appeared at the entrance of the shopping mall.
This event was quickly spread via telephone, the internet, and other methods.
The first to arrive, naturally, were the stabilization forces of this city.
Due to the existence of traditional combat warriors and super ability users, events like martial law breaches and vendettas were common in this world.
The city’s stabilization forces were composed of extensively trained special soldiers, equipped with lethal weapons and authorized to use them.
When they arrived at the entrance of the mall, they immediately saw the strange gold-red mecha.
Without mentioning anything else, just its four-meter-tall massive frame and the metal armor of unknown thickness on its surface were enough to exert a strong deterrent.
It was as if something from a sci-fi theme had walked into reality!
The stabilization soldiers all picked up their weapons and prepared for action.
The captain grabbed a megaphone and asked the pilot of the gold-red mecha to identify themselves, release the innocent civilians being held, and relinquish the mecha’s armament…
Seeing the arrival of the stabilization forces, many of the survivors also showed signs of relief.
If they weren’t wary of the terrible mecha, they probably would have already started fleeing for their lives.
“This is really troublesome…”
While Jiang Chen relayed information about the abyss, his gaze swept over these soldiers standing ready.
In the initial moments of the revival of the ancient gods in Steam World, civilization’s order had been destroyed, and the world was completely thrown into chaos.
Jiang Chen also didn’t need to deal with the nations of Steam World; by protecting a group of survivors, he was fulfilling his duty to preserve the Seed of Civilization.
However, the world of the Earth Cataclysm was completely different from Steam World.
Here, civilization still existed, the crisis was hidden, and order had not collapsed.
As a stranger driving a mecha, Jiang Chen’s first challenge was the civilization and order of this world.
How should he act, then?
To explain the origins of mecha pilots to the local civilization and express his friendly intentions in order to form an alliance and confront the calamity together?
That was too idealistic!
Just look around; these survivors who had experienced the monster attacks firsthand were all wary of the unfamiliar mecha and did not take his words to heart.
How could Jiang Chen possibly quickly convince an entire civilization to trust him wholeheartedly?
Especially if the civilization itself was fragmented, with multiple nations harboring animosity and engaging in strife against each other.
This would only greatly increase the difficulty of persuading the civilization and seeking help.
Most importantly…
There were only ten days left before the catastrophe would fully erupt.
By the time Jiang Chen finished allying with the local civilization, the catastrophe might have already burst out in full!
Clearly, that was a highly inefficient way to operate.
At this moment, Jiang Chen also understood the choice made by Senior Yano before—
“No wonder Senior Yano didn’t try to contact the countries of Planet Blue Star, and didn’t even communicate much with the people of Blue Star, but instead dealt with the abyss monsters alone, resolved the calamity, and saved Planet Blue Star.”
