Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? Chapter 20

Chapter 20 – Trait: Weapons Master_1

Jiang Chen had just gotten his kontribution points, and before they had ward in his hand, he’d spent them all.

By the ti he left the material shop, only a pitiful 620 kontribution points remained.

“If the Soul of Life trait hadn’t sold for more than expected, I wouldn’t even have been able to gather enough materials to enhance my cha,” he murmured.

“These kontribution points really burn a hole in your pocket too quickly…”

If Xie Minglei knew what Jiang Chen was thinking at that mont, he probably wouldn’t have been able to help but retort—

Who else spends on crafting a cha like a rookie?

Only buying high-rank materials to enhance a 0th Rank cha, no amount of kontribution points would be enough!

Normally, to enhance a 0th Rank cha using solely 0th Rank excellent materials, it would take around 6000 kontribution points to complete.

Even if you picked so popular 0th Rank accessory modules, the total cost shouldn’t surpass 10 thousand kontribution points.

That would already be considered high-end.

Spending nearly forty thousand just for the elusive power of life force…

Even if we set aside the Supercharge Module, even if Jiang Chen shared the blueprints, it’s doubtful any rookie would imitate this approach.

Too crazy!

Jiang Chen was actually quite satisfied.

All materials were ready; now all he needed was to find soone to enhance the cha, so he could push his model Zero cha to the limit of the 0th Rank.

At that ti, after breaking through as a cha pilot rank, he could directly start the cha upgrade process.

He would easily beco a 1st Rank cha pilot.

However, you can’t just choose anyone to enhance a cha.

Given the sa materials and cha, the results can vary dramatically in the hands of different enhancent engineers.

To perfectly harness the potential of a cha, you certainly need to find an excellent cha enhancent engineer.

And excellent cha enhancent engineers… they often charge a handso fee for their craftsmanship…

“In the end, it’s still a matter of money,” muttered Jiang Chen.

He planned to first head into the abyss to farm a few waves of the Age-Old Shadow carbon copy.

He’d earn so kontribution points before considering the enhancent.

Moreover, from killing so many mutated beasts in the basic trials, the abyss atmosphere garnered had replenished only about seventy percent of the Abyss Rune’s energy.

To elevate his cha pilot rank, he’d need to kill more abyss beasts to completely fill the Abyss Rune’s energy.

Additionally, cha pilots can acquire a new trait with each rank increase, and 0th Rank is no exception.

Jiang Chen had already found his target.

[Weapons Master]

[Type: Trait]

[Effect: Grants the cha pilot the Weapons Master trait, enabling the rapid mastery of any weapon to unleash one hundred percent combat efficiency.]

[Description: Every flower, grass, and leaf can be a sword… My friend, I believe you are a sword too.]

[Price: 20000 kontribution points.]

To enhance a cha pilot’s combat prowess, aside from installing Weapons Modules on the cha,

one could also opt to use abyss-sourced materials to craft various external weapons for use.

These weapons don’t need to occupy the cha’s module slots when used—just like a normal firearm, they can be picked up and used imdiately, which is incredibly convenient.

Naturally, there are downsides as well.

Even if they don’t require installation, these weapons still need power supplied by the cha to operate properly.

Furthermore, the energy value of a 0th Rank cha can only support 0th Rank weapons, and there is an additional energy consumption rate during use.

The power is also sowhat inferior to that of the Weapons Modules installed on chas.

The Weapons Master trait compensates for these shortcomings.

It allows cha pilots to freely use external weapons without shouldering the additional energy consumption, and even enhances their power.

Lacking in offensive ans, Jiang Chen intended to use the Weapons Master trait to compensate.

Moreover, the Blood Demon Transformation Module installed on the model Zero cha is also very compatible with this combat style.

The most important thing is,

the Weapons Master trait can drop in the 0th level abyss carbon copy.

Jiang Chen happened to be able to clear the abyss carbon copy on his own, farming the Weapons Master trait while replenishing Abyss Rune energy.

In the anti, any materials, modules, or excess cha pilots’ traits that dropped,

could be sold to save up money for the enhancent costs.

Killing two birds with one stone!

However, Jiang Chen had just undergone a twenty-four-hour basic trial, and although his stamina had recovered, he hadn’t completely shaken off the feeling of ntal fatigue.

He planned to rest for a day before starting to explore the true Age-Old Shadow tomorrow.

For now, he could take another walk around Xuntian City to see if there was any gear or equipnt worth buying.

After all, 620 kontribution points, while it might seem few, were enough to purchase a 0th Rank excellent accessory module.

For a rookie cha pilot, that was quite a significant amount.

…

Inside Xuntian City, there were shops specializing in gear and equipnt for rookie cha pilots.

In these shops, Jiang Chen indeed found many valuable items.

First was a type of repair tool he had used during the basic trial, which could fix completely damaged chas.

Because ordinary abyss explorations usually didn’t last very long,

they were typically completed within a few hours.

Even if a cha pilot couldn’t clear the Age-Old Shadow, they could use the power of the Abyss Rune to exit the abyss voluntarily within a matter of seconds.

Once out of the abyss, even if the cha was shattered, they could take it to a repair engineer for repairs.

Therefore, gadgets like [Active Repair], which require a lot of ti to repair a damaged cha, seed quite superfluous.

It cost the sa as what a repair engineer would charge for one repair at this level,

just 100 kontribution points.

Jiang Chen purchased one, planning to find an opportunity to trigger a talent again and enhance his personal attributes.

There was also the [External Scanning Device].

This chanical prop created by gizmo artisans looked like a monocular eyeglass, identical to the “Combat Strength Scanner” used by the Saiyan race.

The effect was also the sa, as it could be attached to a cha helt to scan monsters in the abyss and provide corresponding attribute information through the built-in encyclopedia.

Jiang Chen suspected it was a blatant copy.

But imitation or not, it was a steal at just ten kontribution points each.

Jiang Chen bought five in one go.

After all, such a device looked like it could easily be destroyed.

Especially when scanning aliens with golden hair, the damage rate was extrely high.

Better to buy a few extra, just in case.

In addition, Jiang Chen also purchased a beginner weapon for himself to avoid the embarrassnt of fighting unard.

Fighting fist-to-fist while donning a cha was utterly unromantic.

[Light Thermal Pistol]

[Rank: 0]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Type: External Laser Weapon]

[Effect One: Consu 10% of cha energy for a single charge shot, each charge allows for 10 shots.]

[Effect Two: Upon charging, every 1 point of energy consud increases the shooting power by 2 points.]

[Effect Three: External weapon, energy consumption increased by an additional 100% (does not enhance power).]

[Price: 200 kontribution]
