You agreed to fight mechas, but your body exploded into stars?

The first-level mecha can reach the third-level strength because of the multiplication calculation of the full set of overclocking and the mecha master's talent, thus achieving a qualitative leap.

However, a few days ago in Blue Star, overclocking modules were still extremely rare.

Even an eighth-level mecha master rated at the SSS level can only have one main mecha equipped with an overclocking module at most.

This lowered the upper limit of the entire Blue Star mecha division.

Don't talk about super two levels.

Even if it is a symbol of the alliance, it can at most have strength beyond the first level of strength. With bonuses such as traits, it can reach the point where the eighth level can reverse the ninth level.

If the strength is tenth level, you will be beaten instantly when you meet.

Therefore, although it is a battle between two sets of "first-order mechas".

The eighth-level mecha masters who were watching were still heart-beating and dumbfounded.

Can low-level mechas be a hundred times more powerful? !

Is this still the strength after suppressing the power of the mecha and deducting the trait bonus? !

At this moment, they truly felt the gap between themselves and the person they hoped for.

According to the mecha master system, for every level higher, the strength of attributes increases by ten times.

The gap between high-end combat power and low-end combat power is huge.

No wonder he is a person of hope...

As far as civilization is concerned, it only needs to support such a powerful person, and it can lift the fire of civilization, resist countless disasters, and carry civilization forward!

This man is the hope of civilization!

So, what about the people of hope of Blue Star Civilization?

"Concession."

Li Xiao and other eighth-level mecha masters looked at the three-meter-tall muscular giant who had smashed the overclocking mecha with one punch. They held their hands slightly with a ferocious smile.

There was silence for a moment.

Is this the hope of Blue Star...

It feels so safe!

On the sea, Yano brought his own anti-gravity equipment. After the mecha was broken, he still stood in the air.

He looked at the muscular giant in front of him.

The pores on the giant's body are constantly releasing high-temperature steam, and its size is rapidly shrinking, turning into a young man with an ordinary human body again. His smile that looked ferocious due to his muscles has also turned back to a cheerful and friendly one.

Arno was silent for a moment and then asked.

"Twenty times increase?"

Obviously, he was referring to the increase in strength that Jiang Chen's mecha master talent could bring.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

"almost."

"..."

Found a treasure!

Arno was delighted.

At the level of people of hope, it has lost its meaning to use the evaluation during the basic trial to measure their talent potential——

Even the overclocking module given an SSS-level rating is just standard for Abyss difficulty, and is not that special.

Therefore, people of hope have a more straightforward logic for measuring talent and potential.

[Intensity increase]

A lord with level 1 Abyss difficulty has attributes within 10,000.

A first-level initial mecha, paired with half a set of overclocking modules, can hope to defeat the lord and cross the abyss as long as it can increase its talent by more than eight times.

Even if the bonus is lower, it is possible to pass the level with two top-quality auxiliary teammates.

But obviously, this way of clearing the level is too reluctant, and even if a hopeful person is born, there won't be much potential.

Therefore, eight to twelve times is the lower limit level for those who hope.

Thirteen times to twenty times, this kind of talent strength that can push the abyss flatly is at an excellent level among the many civilizations that have crossed the abyss.

Of course, we must also consider the growth potential of talent——

The talent of the person of hope usually has growth potential, and the strength of the bonus will change according to the quality of the mecha.

For example, Arno had a tenfold bonus when he was at level one.

Later, with the advent of higher-quality mechas, the strength bonus brought by talents was also improved accordingly.

The total bonus strength has exceeded twenty times.

That didn't stop him from being pleasantly surprised.

His talent can grow, and so can Jiang Chen!

With a first-level low-level mecha, you can have a twenty-fold increase. If the level is raised, the quality of the mecha will increase...

Wouldn’t the increase be greater?

Even among the top hopefuls in each civilization, they are among the outstanding ones!

the most important is.

A person of this level of hope was discovered by Arno himself.

If Gaia civilization encounters an abyssal disaster in the future, or even an invasion by the Fire Raiders...

As a close ally of Gaia civilization, Jiang Chen can definitely provide great help and tide over the disaster together.

Arnuo did not hide the joy in his heart and smiled.

"This kind of talent and potential is much better than what I used to be."

"Even if you compare with all the people of hope in the Firebringer civilization, you can definitely reach the middle level..."

"medium?"

When Jiang Chen heard this, he was slightly startled.

"A twenty-fold attribute increase is only moderate?"

"Don't underestimate the middle class. Among the first generation of people of hope, they are already among the most outstanding ones!"

Arno explained.

"Civilization crossing the abyss, spreading fire, or plundering fire will enhance the potential of civilization."

"This kind of civilization potential can not only be used to unlock the characteristics of civilization, but also represents the true potential of civilization!"

“Higher civilizing potential not only increases the intensity of those who wish for it.”

"Moreover, it can also increase the probability of a civilization giving birth to a genius mecha master!"

Arno couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't talk about Blue Star. Even our Gaia civilization is only a young civilization among the many civilizations in the abyss."

"Those oldest and most powerful civilizations with the longest history have an unknown level of civilizational potential..."

"The person they hope for has already gone through several changes."

"Replaced by younger, stronger, and higher potential talents."

"Those new generation of geniuses have stood on the shoulders of giants from the moment they were born."

"It will naturally look extra tall."

“Thus increasing the overall intensity of the people of hope.”

Arno's eyes were full of envy when he talked about this matter.

After a moment, he shook his head again.

"But, it doesn't matter."

"Civilization lies in inheritance, and I hope it can continue."

"As the first generation of people of hope, since we cannot stand on the shoulders of giants, we should try to grow taller."

"Let future generations have a higher starting point."

"..."

Jiang Chen suddenly realized.

To put it in simple terms...

This is the difference between the rich generation and the rich second generation.

However, he didn't have much envy.

He was able to reach this point so easily because he was actually standing on the shoulders of giants.

What's more, with twenty times the strength, you can reach the middle level...

When Jiang Chen reaches the ninth level, he has ten mechas, each of which has seven times the legendary quality...

Triggering a round of talent is a seventy-fold bonus!

Take a rest, repair the mecha, and accumulate talent for another ten rounds, it will be seven hundred times!

From this point of view, their giants don't seem to be very tall.

"Well, as the first generation, you are already very strong."

"Let's go eat something first, the skewers are almost cold."

Arno couldn't help but swallow.

It has to be said that he has traveled through so many worlds and eaten so many foods, but none of them are as delicious as the kebabs of this alliance symbol, and he doesn’t know how he made them.

He moved and flew to the coast impatiently.

On the beach, the waves caused by the battle were calmed down by the mecha masters without affecting the party venue.

Although they were far away, Li Xiao and others were able to capture the conversation between the two through high-level mechas and learn the content of their conversation.

At this time, I saw Arno flying towards me.

Li Xiao suppressed the huge waves in his heart and touched Yuan Wen.

A large box of kebabs appeared next to him and he spoke.

"It doesn't matter if it's cold."

"Unlimited supply."

Jiang Chen flew over after him and looked strange when he saw this scene.

Why is there so much food in the boss's Yuan Wen warehouse? It doesn't look like it was improvised...

Could it be that the boss secretly took the food route, and the magic inheritance that Blue Star obtained was obtained by using food to gain favor?

Hiss, so terrifying!

…

The party lasted for several hours.

The eighth-level mecha masters have all received physical strengthening, and their food intake is far beyond that of ordinary people.

There was a mountain of bamboo sticks alone, as well as bones left over from various barbecues and platters left over from stir-fry...

After eating and drinking enough, Arno burped with satisfaction and hugged his stomach.

"Come on, let me help you unlock the permissions of the person of hope."

Jiang Chen was gnawing wildly on an unknown barbecue that was thicker than an elephant's leg. Hearing this, he quickly swallowed the meat in his mouth and threw the bones aside.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Although Big Brother’s barbecue is delicious.

But compared to food, he wants to become stronger quickly!

"How to do?"

"Have you ever used the perception-like trait of communicating with machine souls?"

Yanuo asked and saw Jiang Chen nodding and lightly tapping the deep lines on his chest with his fingers.

The aura of the abyss gathered in his palm, forming a fist-sized ball of light and handed it to Jiang Chen.

"This is [the light of hope]."

“Touch it and feel it with your heart.”

Jiang Chen followed Ya Nuo's words, pointed his finger at the light ball, and closed his eyes slightly.

Just like feeling the machine soul, feel the breath of the light ball.

However--

The ball of light gave him no feedback.

Instead, his senses were instantly detached from themselves.

It seemed that he had entered some kind of state of nothingness, floating in the dark space, with a huge blue planet in front of him.

Countless rays of light spread out from the planet and connected to him.

No voice of prayer, no thousand languages.

But he seemed to feel countless souls, and what seemed to be blazing white flames formed by the gathering of these souls.

He seemed to understand something, to feel this flame.

At the moment of contact, countless powers converged on him along with the rays of light.

Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

[You come into contact with the fire of civilization, and the permission of the person of hope is triggered. 】

[Current civilization potential: 1]

[Current civilization traits: deep divers, group divers, and fire bearers. 】

[You have received civilization feedback and the permission has been unlocked. 】

…

[Permission: Deep Dive. 】

[Effect: After you clear the abyss, you can challenge the corresponding endless shadow. At this difficulty, the strength of the abyss boss will increase with your attributes. (The higher the intensity, the higher the probability of output)]

[Description: No one knows the limits of the abyss. 】

…

[Permissions: Group diving. 】

[Effect: In the current civilization, every time a member of the civilization crosses the abyss, your probability of output in the abyss will be increased. (Multiplication calculation, nonlinear superposition)]

[Description: Ha, I caught a big fish! 】

…

[Permission: Pass fire. 】

[Effectiveness: When you successfully cross the abyss of a civilization that once sheltered the spark of civilization, you will receive a prompt and be given an opportunity to cross the abyss and spread its characteristics. (After the fire transmission is successful, the civilization potential will be increased and the priority of support will be increased)]

[Description: A single spark can start a prairie fire. 】

…

Deep dive, group dive, fire spreading.

The three civilizational characteristics were all blessed on Jiang Chen at this moment, unlocking new permissions for him.

No matter which authority, it seems to have opened the door to a new world!

Arno on the side said.

"As the people who hope for civilization, the bonus we get from the characteristics of civilization is the highest——"

"Take the first two characteristics of every civilization, deep diving and group diving."

"The former allows us, equipped with overclocking modules, to challenge the more powerful Endless Shadows and obtain unique benefits and rewards."

"These benefits and rewards are exclusive to those who wish."

"There is no corresponding authority, and I am not even qualified to use it."

"The same goes for group lurking. The stronger the civilization, the higher the probability that the people of hope will produce rare items, which can greatly increase the growth rate of the people of hope!"

"In addition, every time a civilization gains a new trait."

"You will unlock a new permission!"

"This is the most powerful place for people of hope!"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but nodded.

The strong support civilization.

Civilization rewards the strong.

This is a reasonable cycle!

At this time, after hearing what Arno had said, he asked.

"With the authority of spreading fire, you can return to the world that once sheltered the fire of civilization and spread the fire of hope..."

"So, what about the world that sheltered the fire of civilization before I gained the authority to transmit fire?"

"Can you come back again?"

Arno nodded.

"Even if they don't have special characteristics - when mecha masters save civilization and protect the fire of civilization, they are actually spreading the fire."

"The abyss pattern left behind is the mark, which can be used by the fire bearer."

"Of course you can return."

After a pause, he sighed again.

"But that's just theory."

"Many civilizations that I completely sheltered eventually disappeared into the abyss."

"For those civilizations that have left only a trace of fire, the chances of crossing the abyss are too low..."

"I advise you not to get your hopes up."

Jiang Chen recalled the final tragic situation of the steam world during the promotion trial.

There are only the last few thousand people left, no materials and module reserves from the alliance, and no information about the shadows of the past...

Start from scratch, build civilization, explore the abyss...

I couldn't help but sigh and let go of this unrealistic idea.

Arno patted his belly and stood up.

"Okay, I originally planned to stay a few more days, wait for you to finish strengthening the mecha, and give it a try before going back."

"Now... what needs to be done has been done, and it's time to go back."

"My world is still waiting for me."

"Finally, do you have anything else to ask?"

"I'll try to answer your questions."

As a man of hope who grew up, Arno must be the strongest person in his civilization.

Being away for an extended period of time can lead to an unstable situation.

Jiang Chen didn't hold back, thought for a moment, and asked.

"Is there any way to improve the quality and potential of the initial mecha?"

"Of course."

Arno said cheerfully.

"There is this kind of drop in the endless shadows where the deep dive authority is open."

"However, the rarity is relatively high and the probability of output is very low."

"You can brush it a few more times if you need to."

Jiang Chen took note of Ya Nuo's words and asked for some more information.

Finally, after the exchange is completed.

Yanuo looked at Li Xiao and reminded him.

"Blue Star's disaster this time is the same as twenty years ago. It's still the invasion of alien monsters."

"However, it has been going on for too long, and I'm afraid it has become extremely powerful."

"You'd better improve your strength quickly and solve this disaster as soon as possible."

Li Xiao and other eighth-level mecha masters looked slightly solemn.

Arno continued.

"besides……"

"After acquiring the firebringer trait, all civilization members who have passed the Abyss difficulty can receive signals for help from other civilizations and can choose whether to go to the rescue."

"It is recommended that you choose to accept support."

"Because, according to the rules of the fire carrier's characteristics, the signal for help sent by the civilization is calculated based on the intensity of the disaster, and will have a specific frequency."

"Only members of civilizations with similar strength can receive the signal for help."

"In other words, only an eighth-level mecha master can receive the information about an eighth-level disaster."

"So, even if you are not the people of hope, don't worry too much. You can rest assured to support other civilizations."

"The only thing to note is..."

"Beware of the Fire Raiders."

Arno's eyes were cold.

"They are just a group of abyss monsters wearing mechas. As long as there is a chance, we must kill them!"

After meeting Jiang Chen, Li Xiao and others wrote down this incident.

Arno's expression slowed down and he smiled.

“May the fire keep burning and we’ll see you in the future.”

Touching the abyss lightly, darkness came over and engulfed him completely.
