Chapter 274: Chapter 185: You Don’t Understand Jiang Chen at All_1
Li Xiao, when he didn’t have a supercharged mecha, was a 9th Rank mecha pilot with the strength of a peak-level 10th Rank.
Once he acquired the supercharged mecha, in conjunction with the protection privileges, he completely underwent a qualitative change.
He crossed two ranks, and his strength directly broke through to the 12th Rank!
Even the lords of the 9-Level Abyss, with their significantly enhanced strength, didn’t reach such an exaggerated degree.
A moment passed, and Li Xiao cut them down.
“The enhancement of a 9th Rank mecha takes quite some time.”
“Since the big shot advanced in rank, he has only completed the enhancement of the Divine Lord Mecha; his other mechas are neither enhanced nor supercharged.”
“When all of his mecha attributes are maxed out...”
“And he gets a set of high-level Resonance Equipment to match his 9th Rank mecha pilot traits, his true strength should be able to reach the peak of the 12th Rank, or even the 13th Rank...”
“At last, my strength has caught up.”
Jiang Chen’s face bore a smile, and he felt joyful in his heart.
Most mecha pilot talents have a certain degree of growth, changing along with the quality of the mecha.
The higher the mecha quality, the higher the bonus rate, and the better the effects.
Senior Yano once said that when he was at the 1st Rank, his mecha pilot talent only had a 10x strength bonus.
As the mecha pilot’s rank increased and the mecha was upgraded, improving in quality, his talent bonus also went from 10x to 20x, 30x...
Therefore, talents like Li Xiao’s “Mecha Supercharge,” which do not grow with quality, are actually quite useless.
But...
Li Xiao’s talent sacrificed growth for a terrifying mechanism!
Simply increasing one level of bonus took him from a 10x bonus to a 40x bonus!
Based on this mechanism, as long as Li Xiao finds other ways to enhance the fundamental rate of his talent, the increase could be 90x, 160x, 250x, 360x...
“This is just too incredible.”
“So the big shot is also an SSR with a hidden potential that Planet Blue Star lucked into!”
“Forming a team with cheats, huh?”
When Jiang Chen farmed for so long, only Master Chao got one, creating a stark contrast with the big shot Li Xiao’s burst rate.
Clearly, it takes a strength of the 10th Rank or above before the output of these Mythical Items begins to stabilize.
“You need a strength above the 10th Rank to start dropping supercharge upgrades.”
“Among Mythical Items, there are even rarer ones like Latent Ability Upgrade, Attribute Enhancement...”
“Following this trend, at what Rank will Mythological Items begin to drop?
“Sure enough, the public burst rate is low; it still depends on the Despair-level Trial.”
“Let’s first farm a bit of the 3rd Rank Abyss to increase the difficulty.”
Now, when Jiang Chen farms the common Abyss difficulty levels, his efficiency is too high.
He doesn’t need to write detailed guides; a quick glance allows him to distinguish the fundamental attributes and ability tendencies clearly.
Combined with extreme speed, he only needs one second to make the kill.
At this time, the ten-second preparation period before entering the Age-Old Shadow limits his farming speed.
As a result, clearing an Abyss difficulty level takes eleven seconds.
...
By the time Jiang Chen and Li Xiao finished their respective runs, Planet Blue Star was thoroughly boiling with excitement.
A civilization’s trait is a powerful advantage applied across the entire civilization.
However, among the four traits previously obtained by Blue Star’s civilization, only the [Group Diver] trait could be applied to the average person.
The remaining three civilization traits were triggered by only a very few mecha pilots.
Now it was different.
All civilization members of the 4th Rank and below saw their talent effects boosted to five times—
This range covered nearly 95% of Planet Blue Star’s mecha pilots, even those who hadn’t cleared the basic trials could benefit from the bonus!
Although not everyone can gain an increase in their strength, as the bonus depends on each person’s mecha pilot talent.
For example, Father Jiang’s talent, [Rapid Construction], had no effect on actual strength but only sped up the forging of external equipment.
Even if its effect increased to five times, it wouldn’t help him gain any power.
But a fivefold increase in forging speed turned him into a crafting god, striking the hammer five times a second, producing a crazy amount of equipment and tools.
