Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars?

Chapter 211: Chapter 148: Civilization Privilege Upgrade, Second-Level Civilization!_1

Jiang Chen frantically farmed Supercharge Modules from the abyss, most of which he handed over to Li Xiao for processing.

Li Xiao did not directly distribute these Supercharge Modules to rookie mecha pilots.

The nearly 800 Supercharge Modules rewarded by the Planet Blue Star Genius Competition were already enough to develop hundreds of Supercharged Mechas.

Giving these mecha pilots more Supercharge Modules would only cause resource overflow.

As for distributing them to rookie mecha pilots who ranked lower and didn’t get a Supercharged Mecha…

Just finished competing, and you want to hand out the top hundred rewards willy-nilly?

After some consideration, Li Xiao decided.

He put these precious modules and items up in the alliance store.

He set corresponding contribution prices for these items and limited the purchases to only low-ranked mecha pilots.

You want a Supercharge Module?

Since you’ve already received the Life Force Serum for free and gained super Stamina, go grind to your heart’s content!

If you earn the modules through your own effort, can anyone talk behind your back?

These precious modules were clearly priced and displayed in the store.

They seemed like carrots dangling in front of the mecha pilots on Planet Blue Star, effectively motivating them.

They rushed to grind dungeons, farm materials, and contribute, afraid that if they were too slow, the modules would be snatched up by others.

At this moment, Jiang Chen’s post on the alliance forum had the same effect.

When the new generation of genius mecha pilots saw the content of the post, their eyes went wide.

They immediately stopped resting and began to strengthen their Mechas and challenge the abyss!

After all, this was a gift from Jiang Chen!

The good stuff from the mouth of the harbinger of hope had to be at least 4th or 5th Rank Supercharge Modules, right?

Take, for instance, the [Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis] trait that was very popular on the alliance forum recently.

These outputs from the Endless Difficulty Level, even if not Mythical Items, would still have better attributes and be more rare than modules and traits produced at the Abyss difficulty level.

All were top-notch outputs impossible to obtain from the normal abyss.

This kind of good stuff didn’t require spending contributions or making any payment.

Just clear the Abyss difficulty level to obtain it.

Is there such a good deal!?

Not even twenty minutes after Jiang Chen’s announcement,

Parvin, the champion of the Planet Blue Star Genius Competition, managed to solo the Abyss difficulty level, displaying his exceptional talent!

[Burst rate +10%]

It was as if a switch had been flipped.

In just over ten minutes, three more genius mecha pilots teamed up to conquer the abyss.

[Burst rate +30%]

As long as the three mecha pilots in a team had all never crossed the abyss,

then their collective clearance counted as having crossed the abyss, although without the additional reward.

For Jiang Chen, whether it was a team effort or solo completion, either could trigger an increase in the burst rate.

He thus rewarded them generously and treated each mecha pilot equally.

This further fueled the enthusiasm of the genius mecha pilots, prompting them to eagerly charge into the Abyss difficulty level!

Only 13 hours had passed.

And 78 rookie mecha pilots had successfully defeated the Abyss overlords and crossed the abyss!

Along with the initial three led by Kun Ping.

The burst rate bonus provided by the Group Dive Privilege had reached 810%.

That’s an 8.1 times boost in burst rate!

Jiang Chen was astonished.

“Weren’t we agreed that the burst rate was to grow nonlinearly, how come it’s already at an 8.1 times increase without slowing down?”

“What exactly is the threshold for the burst rate increase brought by the Group Dive Privilege?”

“Tenfold? A hundredfold?”

Jiang Chen was somewhat taken aback.

No wonder he ferociously farmed the Bio-organic Planet so many times without seeing a single Mythical Item.

Only when the Mythical Items themselves have extremely low burst rates do they require such high burst rate boosts to speed up acquisition.

A tenfold increase in burst rate suggests that the production probability of Mythical Items might be less than one in a thousand.

For 5th Rank strength in Endless Difficulty Level, the probability of output might be even lower.

And in such a scenario…

The 3rd Rank strength Star of Mutation, with no burst rate bonuses, was a one-shot wonder.

“It has saved the best for me.”

It didn’t take much time.

By the time the sixteenth hour had passed,

All 100 genius mecha pilots who had received the Supercharged Mecha during the Planet Blue Star Genius Competition had completed the challenge.

Add to that Kun Ping, the extra mecha pilot.

In total, 101 mecha pilots had successfully crossed the abyss!

[Group Dive Privilege Triggered]

[Number of civilization members who have crossed the abyss: 101]

[Current output probability bonus: 1001%]

When Jiang Chen reopened the Group Dive Privilege, he finally saw the change in the output probability bonus.

The first 100 civilization members each provided a 10% increase in burst rate.

With the arrival of the 101st civilization member, the bonus multiplier plummeted tenfold, only offering a 1% increase.

Increasing the burst rate by another 1000% would require a thousand people.

Seeing this number, Jiang Chen had a moment of clarity.

He guessed the logic behind the Group Dive trait’s bonus.

“A hundred people in the abyss, tenfold burst rate; a thousand people in the abyss, twentyfold burst rate; ten thousand people in the abyss, thirtyfold burst rate…”

“For every order of magnitude increase in the number of civilization members who cross the abyss, the burst rate can be increased tenfold.”

“Initially, only a hundred civilization members are needed to easily raise the burst rate tenfold.”

“In the later stages, to increase the burst rate by another tenfold, the number of civilization members needed will be astronomical…”

Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

Planet Blue Star’s total population is only 10 billion, and its Civilization Potential is not high, with generally poor talents.

To produce several hundred million mecha pilots who have crossed the abyss in a short time is simply unrealistic.

However, cultivating tens of thousands of abyss mecha pilots to boost his burst rate to above thirtyfold should be no problem.

After all, the appearance of a hundred abyss mecha pilots meant the snowball had begun to roll—

Jiang Chen alone, without considering growth and strategy,

could at most only grind through a few hundred Age-Old Shadows of Abyss difficulty level per day.

A hundred abyss mecha pilots, even if split into thirty-three teams,

grinding ten Age-Old Shadows per team each day, would already amount to three hundred and thirty of Abyss difficulty level!

Combined with the high recovery effects of the Life Force Serum, the low-ranked Supercharge Modules they produced would be sufficient to rapidly sustain a large number of low-ranked mecha pilots.

Thus, forming a positive cycle!

During this process, Jiang Chen wouldn’t even need to intervene.

He just needed to do whatever he had to do.

After all, he had already helped Planet Blue Star complete its initial accumulation; now all that was left was to continue growing and pioneering the path forward.

If there was a need to build a new mecha, low-ranked Supercharge Modules would be required.

He could also just casually place an order, using excess high-rank modules as compensation to swap modules.

“Only now has Planet Blue Star’s civilization truly stepped out of the novice village and started to enter the [Super-frequency Era].”

As soon as Jiang Chen had this thought,

the Abyss Rune automatically triggered, releasing a large amount of abyss atmosphere and forming words in front of him.

[The number of mecha pilots from Planet Blue Star’s civilization who have crossed the abyss has exceeded one hundred.]

[Civilization Potential has increased, civilization privileges have upgraded.]

[Current privilege: Level 2]

[Current potential: 47 (An unknown trait is brewing)]

…

[With the upgrade of civilization privileges, Hope Candidate is now open.]

[Hope Candidate: Possess a small amount of Hope privileges. (For example, challenged Endless Difficulty Level)

When the Hope person dies or hands over, the new Hope person will be determined according to the candidate order. (If there is no Hope candidate, a new Hope person will appear randomly)]

[Current candidate: Vacant (0/1)]

…

[With the upgrade of civilization privileges, Legendary Shadows are now open.]

[Legendary Shadows: In the Endless Abyss, those most powerful Abyss overlords can violently crush all foes, grow continuously, and accumulate strength in the absence of defeat…

They are the legends of the abyss, the sources of calamity, the immortal myths!

Having crossed the abyss, it’s time for you and your fellow members from other civilizations to challenge the shadows left behind by these legendary beings.]

[Challenge Requirements: Rank must be at least 2nd Rank and have crossed the abyss.]

[Number of challengers: 1-10 persons (When team numbers are not at the limit, companions will be automatically matched)]

[Challenge Difficulty: Shadow strength at least Level + 2 (For a 2nd Level Shadow, a minimum of 4th Rank strength)]

…

“So it’s leveled up?”

Jiang Chen was still pondering how to raise Planet Blue Star civilization’s privilege.

Before he could take any action, the civilization’s privilege, as if all were meant to be, was effortlessly upgraded.

After a brief surprise, Jiang Chen understood the reason.

A hundred abyss mecha pilots represented that the civilization had left its initial stage, possessing ample hematopoietic capability.

It could easily roll up the snowball and enter the supercharged era.

In such circumstances, for Planet Blue Star to have its civilization privilege upgraded to a “2nd Rank Civilization” was also a matter of course.

Moreover, the two privileges unlocked by a 2nd Rank Civilization

were both issues the civilization was about to encounter.

One was the Hope Candidate, which could be used to pre-select and train the next Hope person.

This could prevent the abrupt demise of the existing Hope person and enhance the potential of the next generation.

The second was the new Age-Old Shadow:

Once Supercharged Modules become common, and the Civilization Potential enhanced,

for those new generation talented mecha pilots capable of constructing Supercharged Mechas, the Abyss difficulty level would no longer be the end, but the starting point.

However, there was only one Hope person, and the number of Hope candidates was extremely limited; they couldn’t challenge the Endless Difficulty Level to obtain Mythical Items.

The starting point seemed to have become the endpoint again.

This kind of [Legendary Shadow] must have appeared based on this situation.

Allowing those talents who could crush the Abyss difficulty level to challenge the most powerful Legendary Overlords of the abyss, gaining the possibility of further progress.

“Essentially, it’s an upgrade of the Abyss difficulty level: Legendary Difficulty.”

“It’s just that the Abyss overlords inside this shadow are those legendary beings who have grown without being defeated by anyone.”

“As a 1st Rank Abyss, it exceeds the limit, hence the starting point is at least the 2nd Rank…”

“Like a Transcender…”

“Given endless time, allowing it to freely grow.”

“It could potentially leave the planet, actively absorb Star Radiance to speed up growth, or even wander in space, devouring star after star.”

“Eventually becoming a Legendary Overlord of the Abyss!”

Jiang Chen sighed.

It’s just a pity that Master Chao’s business had collapsed halfway through.
