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

Chapter 212: Chapter 149 It turns out it was left for me_1

The elevation of civilization privileges allowed all members of the civilization to receive the information.

However, this time the open [Hope Candidate] and [Legendary Shadow] had little to do with ordinary mecha pilots.

The vast majority of mecha pilots were still struggling in the difficulty of nightmares, while the hell and abyss levels were difficulties they had to look up to, to say nothing of the Legendary Shadow.

Even for the hundred geniuses who had cleared the Abyss difficulty, there was still quite a distance from the 2nd Rank Legendary Shadow.

It would take at least another month’s time before they could start to attempt the challenge gradually.

Therefore, most of the attention was centered on the Hope Candidate.

Jiang Chen, as a person of hope for his generation, had not solved the calamity of Planet Blue Star and had not really shown his strength in front of the public.

But his potential, talent, dedication, charm…

No matter which aspect, he was impeccably perfect.

In such a case, who could succeed him and become the Hope Candidate?

This immediately became a hot topic on the net, with people posting and speculating who could become the Hope Candidate—

Would it be Parvin, the champion of this Blue Star Alliance tournament, or should they hold off and pick slowly later on?

However, these discussions lasted only a moment before quickly coming to a close.

A name suddenly appeared for the position of Hope Candidate.

[Li Xiao]

As the Symbol of the Alliance, Li Xiao stood at the pinnacle of Planet Blue Star in terms of prestige, strength, and accomplishments.

Most people had not thought of him, purely because he had become famous too long ago, more than a whole decade before Jiang Chen…

Where was the sense in a prince being older than the king?

Moreover, while Li Xiao was undeniably strong, compared with the new generation of genius mecha pilots, he ultimately lacked potential, with inherent shortcomings.

To become the Hope Candidate gave the impression of relying on seniority.

Of course, those who respected the Symbol of the Alliance didn’t think there was anything wrong with it; in fact, they felt it was well deserved.

Those who didn’t respect the Symbol of the Alliance… deterred by the threat of offline arrests, didn’t dare say much else.

Online public opinion suddenly became calm.

At this point, the only one not calm was Li Xiao himself.

“Jiang Chen, the Hope Candidate should be a matter for those young geniuses. Aren’t you putting me on the spot…”

On his personal terminal, Li Xiao’s virtual projection looked helpless.

Clearly, he was not aware of any of this.

Jiang Chen responded with a smile,

“Boss, since you chose me to call the shots this time, it’s only natural I’d vote for you next time, right?”

After making a joke, Jiang Chen quickly changed the subject before Li Xiao could speak,

“There are four great Hope Privileges on Planet Blue Star right now, and the Hope Candidate can share the two most basic ones.”

“Deep Dive, Group Dive.”

“Among them, the Deep Dive privilege unlocks the Endless Difficulty Level…”

“Although this difficulty presupposes clearing the Abyss difficulty level, even if you had the privilege, boss, you wouldn’t be eligible to challenge Endless.”

“But the Endless Difficulty Level is very challenging by itself.”

“The newbies, even if they are eligible to challenge, won’t really get anything, which is pretty much the same as if they didn’t have it.”

“The Group Dive Privilege can now increase the burst rate by tenfold!”

“If it’s given to low-rank newbies, even with a high burst rate, they’d only produce those low-rank supercharge modules, low-rank materials, and the benefits aren’t high.”

“But as for you, boss, being currently the strongest on Planet Blue Star and also able to challenge the 9th Rank Shadow.”

“With a tenfold burst rate, you could get more high-rank mythical materials, which means higher benefits!”

“Honestly speaking…”

“The Mythical Materials given to me by the seniors, I could at most enhance one or two more mechas and I’ll nearly have squandered it all.”

“You, boss, need to farm more materials to help keep things going.”

“…”

Well, what is it, make the young work like secret agents and the old can’t retire, huh?

Push it back another two or three hundred years, and you’d surely have your own reserved spot on a street lamp.

Li Xiao was speechless.

But with Jiang Chen laying out everything so clearly, he found himself without a reason to refuse.

Compared to the bigger picture of Blue Star’s civilization, a mere suspicion of relying on seniority held no weight.

Jiang Chen finished saying all this with a smile and then became slightly more serious,

“Besides…”

“Among the current mecha pilots, nobody else, in my opinion, is more worthy of the name of hope than you, boss.”

“As for potential and foundations… we’ve already found a way, haven’t we?”

Li Xiao had already learned about the Rebirth Civilization and civilization level through Jiang Chen.

He understood what Jiang Chen meant and finally nodded,

“Alright.”

“List out the materials you need, and I’ll compile a list later.”

“Once I’m done dealing with the Mirror World, I’ll help you farm them.”

The higher the layer of the Age-Old Shadow, the higher the quality of materials becomes.

At the 9th layer of the Age-Old Shadow, there’s no existence of ordinary or superior quality materials and modules.

Even the simplest difficulty level would produce excellent and flawless quality materials and modules.

Therefore, although Li Xiao could no longer challenge the 9th layer of Abyss difficulty,

he could, with a tenfold burst rate, together with a couple of teammates, help Jiang Chen farm some mythical quality high-rank materials at the Nightmare and Hell difficulty levels with no problem.

Jiang Chen smiled radiantly,

“Much appreciated, boss.”

…

Jiang Chen had a great demand for high-rank mecha enhancement materials.

After all, although the difficulties of the Abyss and Endless could stably produce supercharged modules and contribute to the growth of Nascent Form Mechas and mecha pilot traits,

they didn’t produce materials!

Since Jiang Chen began farming the Abyss, whether it was the basic materials Abyss Coins or various enhancement materials, the output had dropped to zero.

The materials he currently used for mecha enhancement all came from the donations of high-rank mecha pilots and from the alliance’s stockpile.
