Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? Chapter 69 - 67: The Liver in Human Skin

Chapter 69: Chapter 67: The Liver in Human Skin

Translator: 549690339

When morning light once again filled the bedroom,

Jiang Chen rose and approached the window, stretched lazily, basking in the sunlight as his energy rapidly returned.

In just a few dozen seconds, all weariness had been swept away.

Only then did he sit back at his desk, gazing at the three-dinsional blueprint of a steam cha generated by the AI on his computer screen.

“Finally finished…”

If the path to crafting a prival cha was full of unexpected factors—

the supercharge module dropped from the basic trial, the thorns damage reversal module from the sublimation awakening, the significantly improved defense attributes after sublimation…

These were all beyond Jiang Chen’s control.

If he had to do it all over again, Zero might not evolve into what it was now.

The developnt of cha Number Two, Boiling Steam, was entirely different.

Jiang Chen could research the developnt path more ticulously, prepare all the modules for it, and cultivate its cha soul accordingly.

It was the first cha that he created completely from his own blueprints and grew from scratch.

Because of this, Jiang Chen invested even more of his heart and energy into it.

In just one night, he devised over a dozen combination paths.

Jiang Chen narrowed it down to the three 1st Rank paths he liked the most.

[Explosive Type]: Harnessing the overload and red-heat characteristics of the steam cha for bursts of power beyond the limit.

Each level of red-heat overload would massively boost attributes but also bring a huge load, causing damage to the cha’s durability.

Succeed or die trying!

[High-Speed Form]: Utilizing the steam cha’s jets, modified into special thrusters that significantly increase the cha’s speed.

Additionally, with steam cha’s good compatibility with supernatural ability modules, it’s also possible to incorporate auxiliary speed modules to create a high-speed cha.

Speed is power!

[Enigmatic Type]: Born in the Steam World, steam chas have a high-level compatibility with ancient god modules of the Age-Old, Void, and mutation types.

It can evolve into a decaying cha of the Age-Old and Void, mastering the corresponding enigmatic powers.

The three paths represented different evolutionary tendencies.

Jiang Chen wasn’t in a hurry to decide; he planned to collect all the modules first.

Then, he would take turns fitting them onto the steam cha, and with the help of the [cha Soul Fusion] skill, feel out which had the best compatibility.

The one he would ultimately choose would naturally be the path with the highest compatibility.

Moreover, Jiang Chen further perfected Zero’s advancent route.

Using his feelings during the cha soul fusion, he crafted blueprints even better suited for it.

All this was just his workload for one night.

“If I had this speed and efficiency back when I was studying, I could have finished half a sester’s work in just one night…”

Jiang Chen organized and archived the blueprints.

During this process, he noticed the latest news update on the web page.

[The Ark Organization announces: SSS-class cha pilot Simon has completed his cha enhancent and will officially challenge the Hell difficulty level in three days!]

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

Why does a challenge to the Hell difficulty level co with a serial broadcast?

Simon declares his challenge.

Simon is about to begin his challenge.

Simon formally starts his challenge…

That’s just too much hype.

And the challenge is set for three days later?

The Ark Organization released the news last night, and even if it’s exactly three days, that still leaves two and a half days before he takes on the Hell difficulty level.

Two and a half days, roughly sixty hours.

Jiang Chen’s current speed for clearing the Nightmare difficulty level is twenty minutes per run.

The speed of cha repairs is continuously improving, and on average, it takes about five hours for five runs,

As for rest ti…

A true cha pilot is a liver cloaked in human skin.

Eating, drinking, excreting, and sleeping—such low purity!

aning, if Jiang Chen maxed out his efficiency, he could clear the level five tis and experience armor expansion five tis in no more than twenty-seven hours.

What does that entail?

No need to calculate the detailed attributes, an approximate estimation will do.

One armor expansion absorbs three tis the normal, and five armor expansions amount to fifteen tis the cha attributes.

With the two previous expansions, that’s equivalent to twenty-one tis the attributes of a normal cha of the sa rank (because there was no enhancent).

Just consider, a supercharge module accounts for ten tis the attributes.

cha attributes reaching up to twenty-one tis what they were—if even the symbol of the alliance saw that, they’d weep and ask for guidance.

With such attributes, isn’t clearing a single Hell difficulty level a piece of cake?

With a few more rounds of accumulation, even the Abyss difficulty level would be within reach!

“Three days?”

Jiang Chen’s face brimd with a smile.

This wave can’t be ruthlessly hijacked, can it?

“Zero, we need to snatch the first clear this ti. Put in so extra effort, and let’s take it down within a day!”

Unable to contain his excitent, Jiang Chen pushed open the window and leaped outside, his right hand clenched into a fist.

As the fierce wind blew, vines proliferated, and fissures gaped open.

[Age-Old Shadow construction complete.]

[Welco to the abyss.]

Back in the Eternal Frost Magic Realm, Jiang Chen didn’t rush to trouble the hidden boss.

Having just triggered a talent, Zero deserved to experience “Nirvana” at least once, which would help evolve the related modules.

The prival cha soared high into the sky, dancing wildly among the clouds.

Sure enough, it quickly drew the Frost Bone Giant Dragon’s attention.

As it swooped down from the icy crystal cloud sea, Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate and released cha Soul Fusion imdiately.

[It feels so good to be filled with Life Force Energy by the master again…]

This ti, the attributes of the prival cha successfully surpassed the Frost Bone Giant Dragon.

Strength 755, agility 555, and the defense even reached a staggering 920!

Coupled with the equipped [Fla Control] module.

The Frost Bone Giant Dragon spewed a breath of Icy Breath.

The prival cha activated its fla jets, combating the Icy Breath head-on, and took the montum to charge over, stepping onto the back of the Frost Bone Giant Dragon.

Thorns grew from its feet, constantly inflicting trample damage.

In its hand was a 1st Rank high-energy lightsaber that had been swapped in, chopping down fiercely.

Even with its trendous strength, Jiang Chen forcefully suppressed the Frost Bone Giant Dragon, preventing it from flying into the clouds to initiate Stage 2.

Monts later, the Soul Fire of the Frost Bone Giant Dragon was extinguished.

It transford into shattered dragon bones and fell towards the ground.

“It clearly could have initiated Stage 2 proactively, but it didn’t use it imdiately and saved it for a critical mont…”

“Look, now it hasn’t managed to activate it and has been chopped down, right?”

Jiang Chen comnted sharply.

His own approach was more steady, after all.

“Death” was certain to trigger it, and there was no chance it wouldn’t activate before death.

The only concern was that the enemy might be too weak to even force out his new stage.

[For killing the Frost Bone Giant Dragon, you received the item: Skeleton’s Wings.]

[Successfully killed the boss, achieving the exploration goal.]

[Total ti spent: 15 minutes 15 seconds.]

[Mission evaluation: SSS.]

[According to the trial evaluation, your rewards are now being calculated…]

[You have obtained Abyss Coins: 3000.]

[You have obtained material: Evil Soul Dust*3.]

[You have obtained the item: Ice-lting Holy Water.]

[You have obtained the module: Ice Crystal Outer Layer.]

[Settlent complete, would you like to leave the abyss imdiately?]

[Note: Refusing to leave allows an additional stay of sixty minutes.]

[Skeleton’s Wings]

[Rank: 1]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Type: External Back Equipnt]

[Effect One: When equipped, it consus 1% of cha energy per minute. (Energy consumption cap: 50)]

[Effect Two: Grants the cha the ability to fly, the higher the agility, the faster the speed. (Agility bonus cap: 100)]

[Effect Three: Adjustable in size, fitting up to dium-sized chas, larger body size increases speed. (At maximum size, speed is increased by 50%)]

[Description: Where the frost wings go, winter descends.]

He actually got the wings of the Frost Bone Giant Dragon.

However, similar to lightsabers and pistols.

Many cha pilots learn forging techniques and use a variety of materials to imitate abyssal products, creating corresponding external equipnt for their chas.

There are many types of external equipnt, and “wings” that provide flying ability are just one type of back equipnt.

So even forged flying or even space-faring vehicles.

Thus, the value of the Skeleton’s Wings wasn’t very high, only a fraction of the value of the Icy Breath.

“The luck this ti isn’t great.”

Jiang Chen didn’t choose to leave the abyss; instead, he equipped the Skeleton’s Wings and sped off towards the distant glaciers in hopes that the hidden boss would yield sothing good.
