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

Chapter 97: Chapter 88: A Friend Slot, One Mythical Material!_2

Translator: 549690339

The output of materials and modules is ultimately finite.

Won’t sell for much.

So, you want to corner the market, huh?

Considering that Kray, the leader of the Ark Organization, is an SSS-class talent, his strength far surpasses mine.

Soros swallowed his pride.

Got to hand it to you!

However, the words “Ark Organization” reminded Jiang Chen of something else.

“Right, big shot Kray, since you are the leader of the Ark Organization, what about Simon…”

Jiang Chen had never met Simon, so there wasn’t any animosity between them.

Despite being beaten to the first clearance, Simon didn’t show any irritation, but instead invited him to team up for clearing abyss…

So, although Jiang Chen had no intention to form a team, he bore no hostility towards Simon himself.

It was just a plain competition.

At this moment, he was a bit curious.

Having cleared abyss so quickly, he wondered how Simon felt now?

“Simon? He’s the son of a friend of mine, with a talent somewhat better than mine, but compared to you, he still falls quite short,” said Kray with a smile.

“He was looking forward to team up with you for the abyss clearance. Seems like that opportunity is gone now.”

Jiang Chen smiled too.

“No worries, there will be plenty of other chances in the future.”

The “chances” Jiang Chen mentioned clearly didn’t refer to himself.

With the base number of mecha pilots on Planet Blue Star rising from millions to 10 billion, the number of top talents is bound to surge.

Even if not in the thousands, they definitely wouldn’t be as few and far between as they are now.

Talents on the same level as Simon would be dime a dozen in the future, and he wasn’t worried about finding teammates.

Kray fell silent for a moment.

He understood what Jiang Chen meant.

But he also knew Simon’s character.

Already full of arrogance, to have an ultimate genius suddenly emerge and topple him from his pedestal from afar.

Then, to have a bunch of equally talented geniuses pop up, stripping away his uniqueness and reducing him to one of those “mortals” he talked about.

Yikes…

That’s rough!

After all, he’s our genius; I’ll need to give him some serious psychological counseling when I get back, hoping he doesn’t get too discouraged.

Considering this possibility, Kray didn’t linger to chat with Jiang Chen and quickly took his leave.

One by one, other 8th Rank tycoons stepped forward, trading their premium 7th and 8th Rank materials to secure a spot on Jiang Chen’s friends’ list.

Time-related materials, space-related materials, dream-related materials, Mythical creature materials…

In just a short amount of time, Jiang Chen made a killing and couldn’t stop smiling from his bounty.

He had originally thought that being the first to clear the abyss wouldn’t grant an SSS-class rating and wouldn’t provide any settlement materials…

But here he was, raking in a fortune!

It was just in time for Jiang Chen to enhance his primeval mecha and steam mecha.

Now, not only did he have all the materials ready, but he also had a wealth of extra premium options to choose from!

The blueprints all needed updating, upgrading from 1.0 to 2.0!

As for using 7th and 8th Rank Mythical materials to enhance 0th and 1st Rank mechas, when the grade, quality, and even potential of the materials can’t be fully utilized…

Would that be too wasteful?

Don’t ask.

If you ask, it’s because I’m rich!

Even if it means piling up materials, Jiang Chen was determined to elevate Zero and Yun to the level of divine mechas!

While he reaped a bountiful harvest,

Jiang Chen also didn’t forget the needs of these tycoons.

In front of all the big shots, he gave a clear answer.

“If I decide to sell supercharged modules or premium items like that, I’ll announce it on my friends’ circle in advance,” he said.

“All you tycoons will then have a fair chance to bid!”

“Guaranteed to be open and transparent!”

The 8th Rank tycoons were satisfied with this statement.

They had many things to attend to and summoned their land-use mini mechas, bidding farewell and leaving.

Only Symbol of the Alliance Li Xiao stayed behind.

When the island finally returned to complete tranquility,

Li Xiao glanced at Bai Ying and said to Jiang Chen,

“I remember you’re still under the protection of the New Talent Protection Act, accumulating contributions, right?”

“Uh-huh.”

Jiang Chen nodded.

In less than a month, he had grown to a level previously unimaginable to him.

His horizons had been completely opened.

He used to be amazed and shocked by “fifty thousand contributions a day” or “equivalent to fifty million Xia Kingdom currency”…

Now in retrospect, he can’t help but see how laughable and narrow-minded he was.

To a low-ranked mecha pilot, fifty thousand contributions a day is terrifying.

To an average person, fifty million currency a day is astronomical.

It practically breaks the currency system…

But in reality?

For high rank mecha pilots, currency has long since lost its meaning.

They are already capable of piloting mechas to explore other star systems, Exoplanets.

In the vast universe, all common resources such as precious metals and gems are virtually infinite, and they also have access to top-tier treasures that can extend life and enhance the body.

They can even develop endless worlds within the abyss.

So what’s the value of money?

Furthermore, for high rank mecha pilots, if not for civilizational restrictions and a sense of belonging to civilization, and their inability to endure prolonged solitude…

They could completely abandon Planet Blue Star and venture alone into the boundless cosmos.

Compared to the entire universe, Planet Blue Star is just too insignificant.

Contributions are the same.

Is there even one of those premium level-up materials that the 8th Rank tycoons gave Jiang Chen that could be bought with contributions?

At their level, unless there is something special that can act as a general equivalent,

the only method of trade left is one.

Bartering.

As for contributions, currency.

They’re just for low-ranked mecha pilots to use, a currency system allowing them to earn reasonable income and facilitate transactions.

And the New Talent Protection Act and the compensation for hiring tycoon-class mechas are the same deal.
