Chapter 209: Chapter 147 Why Aren’t You Working Yet_1
Jiang Chen explained the related technologies and intelligence of the Rebirth Civilization.
Ruan Mingyu was immediately attracted to the “Reincarnation Technique” he mentioned.
One must know that the difficulty of the abyss would continuously rise with each rank increase, and this increase in difficulty could even surpass the growth rate of a mecha pilot.
Just like on Planet Blue Star, nearly a hundred 8th Rank mecha pilots had accumulated over the past twenty years.
Was it because the low-ranked mecha pilots weren’t working hard enough?
It had absolutely nothing to do with effort.
It was purely because the talent strength of most mecha pilots, and the strength of the mechas they built, was what determined their limits.
As a result, they would reach a stage where they couldn’t even pass the rank-up trials, and going in meant certain death.
Therefore, the number of high rank mecha pilots was so scarce.
This principle could also be applied to Ruan Mingyu.
As an elderly high rank mecha pilot, although her 8th Rank shackles had been lifted, allowing her to continue advancing without obstruction once she reached 8th Rank…
But what about after that?
Sooner or later, she would encounter a bottleneck like the other mecha pilots, stuck at a certain rank, unable to continue growing.
If there was an opportunity to reincarnate and start over, to return to the same starting line as the new-generation mecha pilots, acquire additional talent, supercharged mechas…
Obviously, it was something she would desire!
As for old-fashioned mechas, mecha soul bonds…
According to Jiang Chen, reincarnation and starting over merely meant that Bai Ying and the others would temporarily become unowned mechas, not that they would be destroyed or disappear.
As for unowned mechas not being able to continue strengthening and enhancing their power…
Being stuck at a rank also meant no opportunity to upgrade, right?
The only issue was, such technology must be extremely precious, and the materials consumed must also be of high value.
With so many big shots on Planet Blue Star, why should it be her turn, a 7th Rank mecha pilot, to use it?
Jiang Chen said with a smile,
“Senior Ruan, rest assured, you’ve helped me so much, and Bai Ying has always been protecting me…”
“If I obtain a reincarnation opportunity, I will definitely help you start over.”
“Jiang Chen…”
Ruan Mingyu was moved.
She had only accepted the alliance’s invitation to send Bai Ying to protect Jiang Chen, occasionally giving him some advice and pointers.
Compared to the priceless Reincarnation Technique, it was like the difference between clouds and mud.
Was this the real-life version of repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude?
Jiang Chen continued,
“By the way, Senior, thank you for helping me test the effects of the Perfect Body. Take these Supercharge Modules for Bai Ying’s brothers and sisters to use.”
“If later on you find it inconvenient to start over after your reincarnation, I can also look after Bai Ying and the others for you…”
Ruan Mingyu was so touched that in the end, she could only muster two words,
“Thank you.”
…
After the discussion, Jiang Chen invited Ruan Mingyu to stay for breakfast.
While enjoying the meal, Ruan Mingyu, feeling that the food had about fifty percent of the expertise of the Symbol of the Alliance hand-grilling meat, curiously asked about its source.
Jiang Chen replied, “Bai Ying made it.”
“Ah? Since when did Bai Ying develop such culinary skills?”
Ruan Mingyu was quite surprised.
In the past, Bai Ying, under her care, focused on reconnaissance and support. Domestic chores were always handled by bionic servants.
She had no idea Bai Ying possessed such talents.
Jiang Chen simply smiled without a word.
And that wasn’t all.
Under his tutelage, Bai Ying became adept at cooking, tea ceremonies, gardening, parenting, building, cleaning…
She could be considered a versatile maid-type mecha, displaying impressive talents.
This kind of talent had nothing to do with modules, nor with the type of mecha soul, but purely Bai Ying’s own gifts.
Just like with the same skewer of meat, even if the ingredients were the same, what an ordinary person grilled versus what Li Xiao grilled was different.
It had soul!
“…”
Ruan Mingyu looked at Jiang Chen’s smile, saw Bai Ying respectfully standing beside him, and fell silent for a moment.
Why did she feel like the outsider?
After the meal, Senior Ruan left with a trace of confusion.
Bai Ying got up to clear the tableware and clean up—
Although Jiang Chen had ordered some bionic machines, placed in each habitat sphere to assist Bai Ying with her work,
There were things the bionic machines couldn’t do.
As the caretaker of the base, she still needed to regularly check on the condition of the habitat spheres at Star Base and perform routine maintenance and repairs on some arrays.
Furthermore, although Yuu had completed mecha-pilot symbiosis with Jiang Chen, she still didn’t have the capability to engage in combat.
Jiang Chen occasionally took her along to fight the Abyss overlords to foster a good rapport.
Most of the time, however, she was placed in the virtual combat arena for training in magic, enigmatism, and survival.
Bai Ying also had to take care of the children; she had plenty of things to do.
And yet, Zero and Yun, they wanted to fight alongside Jiang Chen.
Once they started digesting their experiences, they would spend most of the day in slumber, unable to share Bai Ying’s workload.
So…
In a sense, Bai Ying had indeed fully integrated into this family, becoming an indispensable part of it.
“The Reincarnation Technique must be prioritized.”
“I’ve already told Senior Ruan, I can’t let her wait too long.”
“The sooner we start reincarnating, the sooner we can train!”
Jiang Chen’s curiosity and longing for the Rebirth Civilization had reached its peak.
Unfortunately, it seemed that to initiate exchanges with other civilizations, an increase in “civilizational privileges” was necessary.
The frustrating part was that no specific requirements were provided for the elevation of civilizational privileges.
Jiang Chen wanted to work hard, but didn’t even know in which direction to exert his efforts.
All he could do for now was continue to grind at the Endless Difficulty Level, collect materials, enhance the mechas, and boost his personal attributes.
When he triggered the Fire Transmission Civilization’s distress signal again, he’d strike another blow at the Fire Plunderer mecha pilots.
For advanced civilizations of 7th or 8th Rank, the means of elevating lower civilization privileges should not be a secret.
