Chapter 16 Life Force Mecha, Immortal and Indestructible [Two in One]_1

Xuntian City is an elliptical fortress over ten kilometers in diameter.

It possesses multiple modules for gravity, stealth, ecology, and more, allowing people to move freely on its surface without the need to wear mecha.

To this day, as the headquarters of the alliance, its surface stands tall with buildings of bizarre designs, forming a city in space.

There were people in regular clothing walking through its city streets,

as well as all sorts of mecha, large and small, flying above the city.

"This is a city built upon mecha, exclusively for mecha pilots!"

"I wonder if Xuntian City can still transform into a mecha form and move again."

"However, just the appearance of a mecha of this size in the city would be enough to cause a catastrophe..."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel awe-stricken.

To be honest, the intelligence mecha with an ordinary human stature like Bai Ying didn't give him any sense of the powerful pressure that a "7th Rank mecha" should have.

Instead, it was the amazing glimpse of Xuntian City that gave him insight into the power of an 8th Rank mecha pilot.

Considering that what a mecha possessed was not only its size but also weaponry and equipment of the same level,

An 8th Rank mecha, unimpeded by another of its rank, could probably easily destroy all nations and cities on Planet Blue Star.

It could even possibly destroy Planet Blue Star itself!

It's no wonder that various countries formed an alliance with not too many restrictions, only supervising and guiding.

Real power had indeed shifted into the hands of mecha pilots.

Jiang Chen, following Bai Ying, was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around with eyes wide in amazement.

He couldn't help but take several glances at every mecha they passed by,

including steel-armored ones like Iron Man that Senior Xie used, and those seven or eight meters tall, made of unknown materials inscribed with runes of magic energy.

All looked quite powerful.

Soon, Jiang Chen arrived at the alliance's office, submitted his genetic information, registered his personal data, and received a personal terminal.

During this process, except for the receptionist barely suppressing a gasp, under Bai Ying's deliberate suppression, it didn't cause much of a stir.

After all, Jiang Chen had not written his name on his face.

The others still didn't know he was the newest SSS-class rookie.

After finishing the procedures, standing on the streets of Xuntian City, Bai Ying said,

"Sir, you have officially joined the alliance and are now qualified to use teleportation magic."

"Next, would you like to return to Planet Blue Star or take a stroll around the city?"

"I can guide you."

Handling trial spoils, researching Mecha Enhancement pathways, purchasing mecha modules, performing mecha enhancements...

Jiang Chen had a lot to do and was not in a hurry to return to Planet Blue Star.

He thought for a moment and then said,

"I want to enhance my starter mecha, but I'm not sure how to match modules and materials."

"Does Xuntian City have a place that provides mecha schemes?"

Bai Ying responded, "Sir, the personal terminal you received when you registered has this feature."

A personal terminal?

Jiang Chen had indeed received a device similar to a smartphone.

However, he thought this device was only for identity verification, recording contribution points, and as a convenient dispatcher for alliance missions, so he didn't examine it closely and simply put it away.

Did it have other functions, too?

At this moment, Jiang Chen took out his personal terminal again, activated it, and turned it on.

An interface similar to an Abyss Rune appeared on the screen.

In addition to what he thought of—[Personal Data] and [Mission Dispatch]—there were [Team Lobby], [Alliance Forum], [Mecha Blueprint], [Item Trading]...

"Is this an expansion MOD of Abyss Rune functions? Which genius came up with this?"

Jiang Chen nearly lost his composure.

The original Abyss Rune already had personal, mecha, warehouse, and instance as its four interfaces.

With these added through the personal terminal, was the game descending into reality?

Advantageous as it was, it was still quite convenient.

Jiang Chen opened the [Mecha Blueprint] tab, prompting the first-time usage introduction.

[All mecha blueprints and evolution pathways in this interface have been verified by the alliance, authentic and true, and they can provide you with ideas for the evolution and enhancement of your mecha.]

[To view the details of a blueprint, you need to spend respective contribution points to purchase them, for personal reference only, and strictly prohibited from unauthorized disclosure.]

[You can also upload your own Mecha Blueprints and evolution pathways. Once approved by the alliance, they can be entered into the blueprint database for others to reference and earn contributions.]

All mecha pilots start with the model Zero Mecha.

Therefore, theoretically,

if one uses exactly the same materials, modules, and core during the enhancement process,

one can 100% replicate the path of predecessors and evolve an identical new-style mecha!

This is [Blueprint] and [Pathway].

For many mecha pilots, rather than randomly evolving an unknown mecha by matching modules and materials on their own,

it is better to learn directly from the blueprint to steadily produce high-quality mecha.

Naturally, Jiang Chen couldn't just copy a blueprint—

If he wanted to use a Supercharge Module, there was no blueprint for him to copy, anyway.

His main goal was to look at other people's evolution pathways through the blueprints to provide some ideas for his own mecha enhancements.

At this time, he closed the beginner's hints.

Mecha blueprints and evolution pathways appeared one after another on the screen.

They were arranged according to comprehensive values such as popularity, rank, quality, number of purchases, and so on.

The top-ranked one turned out to be the [Divine Lord Mecha] used by the "Symbol of the Alliance" to kill five 8th Rank mecha pilots who had used the Supercharged Module!

Even its blueprint was available?

And it seemed to be free?

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up as he decisively clicked on the Divine Lord Mecha blueprint interface.
