Chapter 204: Chapter 143: I Recognize Your Output!_2

[Settlement complete, detaching from the abyss in thirty seconds.]

The main host’s endurance time was not ideal.

It was barely a moment before Jiang Chen violently crushed it into dust.

When Jiang Chen glanced at its drops, he slightly frowned.

Not even a single Mythical Item could be squeezed out…

Compared to its distant relatives, it was truly impoverished.

However, as an Abyss overlord,

one could be poor, but absolutely could not be stingy!

Only by generously offering wealth and possessions to leave the guests satisfied could they build a reputation and attract more mecha pilots.

Just like Master Chao.

After Jiang Chen recently uploaded the information on the [Infinite Core Set] to the alliance forum, it immediately sparked great enthusiasm among the mecha pilots.

Not only did the forum see a surge of topics discussing the supercharged set,

the [Star of Mutation] also rose rapidly in popularity, becoming a hot abyss, welcomed by a large number of mecha pilots, greatly increasing the number of explorers.

Though none of these mecha pilots managed to produce supercharge modules,

the ordinary modules and materials of the Star of Mutation also increased in value, enough for them to turn a tidy profit.

If the main host wanted to rise in popularity like Master Chao and set the Bio-organic Planet ablaze with activity,

then it would have to show some sincerity!

Jiang Chen reviewed the rest of the main host’s output.

Bio-organic Enhancement, basic attribute supercharged module, related attributes: wood, poison, bio, all ordinary attributes.

Common and cheap, not needed, failure!

Corrupted spore type, damage-type module, capable of transforming mecha parts into spores, with the ability to produce and release corrosive fungi, bearing poison and corruption attributes.

Jiang Chen had no immediate plans to go down the poison route, not needed, failure!

Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis, a Physique Type mecha pilot trait, no…

Wait a moment?

[Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis]

[Type: Trait]

[Effect: Grants mecha pilots the Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis trait, allowing them to choose one of their own mechas to undergo a blood-flesh symbiosis.

The symbiosis effects vary depending on the Dominator.]

[Description: I am the master of life.]

“Hmm?”

Jiang Chen’s gaze flickered slightly as he looked at the Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis trait.

This was a mecha pilot trait he had never seen before, and the term ‘symbiosis’ was also an effect that Planet Blue Star had never encountered.

However, the original Age-Old Shadows of Planet Blue Star had only one hundred fifty of each layer.

The number of mecha pilot traits that could be produced was limited, so it was normal for unseen effects to appear.

This was precisely why Jiang Chen kept increasing the number of Age-Old Shadows.

“Descriptions of mecha pilot traits are too brief, many effects require additional development,”

“Just the symbiosis term alone is not enough to know the true effect of this trait…”

Jiang Chen quickly made a decision.

To find someone to test it.

This wasn’t a unique drop; if the effect was good, he could simply farm the Bio-organic Planet a few more times to get another one.

In any case, this was a Physique Type mecha pilot trait,

indirectly implying that the Dominator’s output was leaning towards bio, Physique Type traits.

“Alright then, main host, I acknowledge your collection.”

“I’ll be back shortly to see what other good things you’ve hoarded!”

“Detaching from the abyss.”

…

Upon returning to the Star Base, Jiang Chen didn’t need to contact the big shot, Li Xiao.

Posting directly on the alliance forum and sharing the effects of the [Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis] trait would suffice.

In fact, due to the recent rapid increase in Age-Old Shadows on Planet Blue Star, various brand-new traits were emerging incessantly…

Many mecha pilots found themselves in a situation similar to Jiang Chen’s.

Consequently, a new profession swiftly emerged on Planet Blue Star.

[Trait Testers]

Many mecha pilots with only average talent and little hope of potential decided to absorb unknown traits for other mecha pilots to verify their effects,

Making a one-time profit through this means.

The alliance also provided a certain amount of contribution rewards for this and helped these individuals to verify the trait effects, recording them in the alliance codex.

Of course, those were unknown ordinary traits that nobody wanted to absorb.

As the hope of Planet Blue Star, capable of crossing the abyss and clearing the Endless Difficulty Level,

were the traits obtained by Jiang Chen from the Endless Difficulty Level mere ordinary traits?

No need for Trait Testers, a single post was enough, as mecha pilots willing to help test the effects flooded the entire thread, too numerous to count!

Jiang Chen randomly selected a 5th Rank Physique Type mecha pilot.

“`

He was granted temporary base access, allowing him to quickly reach Star Base via the teleportation array formation.

The physique type mecha pilot named James chatted briefly with Jiang Chen and soon used the [Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis] trait.

Since many abilities needed to be actually used to know their effects.

After briefly experiencing the trait’s effects, James summoned his mecha—

His main mecha was an ice elemental mecha, with two transformation modes.

The first was the normal Ice Mecha, capable of free movement, combat, and camouflage.

When needed, it could also transform into weapon mode, turning into an indestructible Sword of Ice, to complement the mecha pilot in battle.

When James used the Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis trait on this ice-type mecha.

The ice-type mecha immediately disintegrated into countless ice crystals, rushing toward his body.

In an instant, numerous ice crystals covered his body surface, forming a thin layer of frost.

James closed his eyes to feel it for a moment, then opened his eyes and exhaled.

Countless breaths of ice spewed from his mouth, completely turning the trees in front into ice sculptures.

With a thought, the frost quickly condensed, forming an ice elemental mecha on his body, which then transformed into an Sword of Ice accompanying the fluctuations of his thoughts.

James couldn’t hide the surprise in his eyes, saying excitedly,

“This trait is just too powerful!”

“Once I’ve achieved symbiosis with the mecha, I’ve entered a state akin to integration, completely merging with the mecha.”

“In this process, it seems that because my Life Force is stronger, I’ve become the dominant partner in the symbiosis.”

“In the symbiotic state, I have gained all the mecha’s attributes and abilities, receiving a full boost!”

“I can also release the mecha again while in symbiosis—this will only result in losing half of the attribute enhancement.”

“The mecha’s intrinsic attributes remain unchanged.”

Hearing what James had to say.

Zero, who was watching with Yuu at his side, couldn’t help but get excited.

To merge with the adult?

Isn’t that even better than Mecha Soul Fusion?

Jiang Chen, however, shook his head slightly.

It might seem tempting to an ordinary mecha pilot.

But, for him, triggering a talent once could absorb several times the mecha’s power, wasn’t that more powerful than this effect?

“Any other effects?”

“Other effects…”

James did another test and then spoke.

“It seems the symbiosis state can’t be undone, I can have the mecha completely separate from my body while still maintaining a 50% attribute enhancement.”

“Besides, I can symbiotically integrate with two mechas…”

“I can’t do it with a third mecha, it seems to be because my physique attributes are too low…”

Jiang Chen wasn’t interested in these effects James mentioned.

He pondered for a moment, then asked,

“What happens if the symbiotic mecha is completely destroyed?”

“What will happen?”

“…The mecha is completely broken?”

James was stunned for a moment.

Even as a physique type mecha pilot, he would recall it back to the Abyss Rune before its Armor Value dropped too much.

After all, it takes too much time and materials to repair a high-rank mecha after it is completely destroyed.

Plus, the thrill and excitement of the attribute enhancement.

Made him overlook this aspect.

Only now did he begin related testing.

Mecha damage, mecha breakage…

Moments later, when the Ice Mecha was completely shattered but wasn’t absorbed by the Abyss Rune nor did it fall into a pile of ice crystals,

It transformed into countless icy dust, rushing into James’ body.

Feeling his strength gradually diminish, he said,

“After completing symbiosis, the mecha’s connection to the Abyss Rune has become a connection with me.”

“Once broken or withdrawn, it won’t return to the Abyss Rune but to my body instead.”

“It’s like my body being injured, gradually undergoing repair and healing.”

“The speed seems a bit faster than using repair items, but it consumes a lot of my Life Force…”

James frowned slightly.

Normally, to repair a mecha, you’d use items or take time to fix it.

Now, if he loses mecha value in combat and withdraws it, it will consume Life Force to repair.

This is definitely a drawback.

However, compared to the attribute enhancement provided by Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis, it’s not too big of a downside and is completely acceptable.

Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up.

The mecha shattered yet absorbed directly into the body for automatic repair by consuming Life Force?

He finally saw an advantage!
