Chapter 76 Civilization must cross the abyss [Please order first! 】
A living symbol of the Alliance!
Jiang Chen looked at the man opposite and thought to himself—
It's not that he's making a fuss, it's mainly that the other party's identity is too special.
The strongest mecha master, the first person in Blue Star, the symbol of the alliance, the protector of order...
Jiang Chengguang just searched the other party's experience on the encyclopedia and came up with a set of novel templates. He was simply a walking protagonist of a cool novel.
more importantly.
As an SSS-level newcomer, Jiang Chen can safely explore, grow, and be unrestrained, and this is all due to the other party.
If it were more than ten years ago, Blue Star had not yet risen in the alliance.
He will probably have to go through a lot of things, such as: kidnapping his family, coercion and inducement, being kept in captivity by the strong, struggling to survive, quietly growing up, and a bit of a dark and cruel script of revenge and counter-killing.
Perhaps growing up like that will become more legendary.
But he would rather not have that kind of legendary quality.
Because of this, after Jiang Chen learned more about things, he admired this symbol of the alliance very much.
At this time, he looked at the other person and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Hmm...his appearance is ordinary, and he is indeed the prototype of the protagonist.
Li Xiao was obviously used to this kind of gaze, so he smiled and spoke.
“Okay, let’s start trading.”
“Riley said that in addition to the materials he needed, you also dropped several brand-new materials in the Everfrost Demon Realm on Hell difficulty.”
“Can I have a look?”
"sure."
Jiang Chen nodded, touched the Yuan pattern with his right hand, and brushed it across the table.
Modules and materials such as azure chips and ice crystal eyeballs fell on the table.
The surface of these materials is covered with a light mist of ice, causing the temperature in the private room to instantly drop by more than ten degrees.
However, this temperature change did not affect the two of them at all.
Li Xiao also ignored the ice mist, picked up an ice crystal eyeball, and looked at it carefully.
Jiang Chen originally thought that the symbol of the alliance appeared in front of him because he had passed the Shadows of the Past on Hell difficulty in a row...
It’s not surprising that this kind of thing alarms the boss.
Now it seems that he is really here to trade materials?
Are you looking so seriously?
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment and said in confusion.
“Boss, Senior Riley wants to strengthen the mecha, so he wants to take a look at these materials...”
“Can you make the decision for him?”
Li Xiao raised his head, his pupils turned into mysterious magic circles that were very similar to Riley's, and he smiled and spoke.
"Of course, because his new mecha uses my drawings."
…That’s okay.”
Jiang Chen sweated a lot.
Under normal circumstances, it must be the mecha master himself, who knows his own mecha better.
But there are always exceptions to everything.
If you are using the mecha drawings of previous generations, then whether it is the matching of modules and materials or the cultivation of the machine soul, everything must meet the requirements of the drawings.
If there is too big an error, a one-time upgrade is fine.
After a few upgrades, it may go astray and evolve into a completely different form, losing the meaning of the drawing.
That’s why Li Xiao came to the scene in person to check on Riley.
Of course, he must also want to meet a newcomer who can pass through **** alone.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's heart moved.
Speaking of which, the symbol of the alliance seems to be very concerned about the situation of the newcomers.
Not only did he propose and implement the "New Talent Protection Act", he also announced his own mecha path, and also provided special guidance to talented newcomers.
He and Senior Riley both possess special magic that enhances vision.
There cannot be no connection.
Now that Jiang Chen has passed the Hell difficulty alone, he has arrived quickly to trade for Riley...
This level of attention seems to have gone beyond the limits of caring for the younger generation, and seems a bit too eager.
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment and then asked.
“Boss, are you Senior Riley’s master?”
“If you insist on saying it, do you think it’s half?”
Li Xiao had already checked all the materials, put them back on the table, and said.
“You actually want to know why I pay so much attention to newcomers, right?”
…?”
Let me ask you about your relationship with Senior Riley. How did you associate it with this?
Li Xiao saw Jiang Chen’s surprised look and shook his head with a smile.
“For so many years, every newcomer has thought this way, and you can figure it out without guessing.”
“The answer is very simple.”
“You are the future of Blue Star.”
Li Xiao paused and continued.
“I’m not talking about official rhetoric, I’m talking about facts.”
“Let’s put it this way.”
“In the past twenty years, Blue Star has not given birth to even a ninth-level mecha master. You should know this, right?”
"…Yeah. I know."
Jiang Chen nodded.
He discovered this when he checked the information previously.
Blue Star's mecha masters are only at level 8, not at level 9.
Even if it is the symbol of the alliance, the strongest, the first person.
After breaking through to the eighth level, it stopped completely.
For fourteen years, he has not broken through the eighth-level bottleneck and become a ninth-level mecha master.
There are different opinions on this. Some people think that the eighth level is the end of the mecha division, and there is no more powerful mecha division.
Some people think that it is too difficult to break through to the ninth level, and the upgrade trials are too difficult. Everyone who tries has died, and the alliance symbol is too afraid to move forward.
Some people say that the Alliance Symbol has already been able to break through to the ninth level, but it suppressed itself forcibly——
After all, after the overclocking module was taken away from him, he has yet to get a second overclocking module.
This may have affected his strength.
He constantly challenges the **** difficulty because he wants to get the overclocking module, build the strongest mecha, and improve his strength and heritage.
Then, break through to the ninth level.
Anyway, he is already the strongest in Blue Star, no one is his opponent, and he can definitely grow slowly.
There are many statements like this.
For this kind of speculation, all eighth-level mecha divisions, including the symbols of the alliance, have not responded directly.
Jiang Chen previously thought that the "suppression theory" should be more reliable.
Now looking at the statement about the symbol of the alliance, it seems that there is another hidden meaning?
At this time, Li Xiao gave the answer.
"the reason is simple."
“Eighth-level mecha masters are Blue Star’s current limit.”
A short sentence contains a lot of information.
Jiang Chen noticed the most critical words.
“Blue Star?”
“That’s right.”
Li Xiao nodded and said something else.
“To say this, you must first know three things.”
“First: Blue Star is not the only civilization in the universe, or even in the abyss.”
“Second: The planets and civilizations we encountered during the promotion trial are not shadows of the past.”
“But like Blue Star, a real planet and civilization.”
"…What?"
Jiang Chen was stunned.
The scene of the promotion trial is not [Shadows of the Old Days], but [Other Worlds]?
He had no idea about this matter before!
After all, the world in the shadow of the old days is just like a copy of the game. It can be infinitely reshaped and refreshed at will.
Due to the inertia of his thinking, he did not take the promotion trial scene too seriously.
After getting the settlement evaluation, he ran away directly.
I never expected that the world of promotion trials was not a reappearance of the past, but a real world that was experiencing disaster!
That is to say, right now.
In the vast universe, there really is a steam planet where the ancient **** of the Abyss is sleeping.
The girl Lila and the tuxedo gentleman who have crossed paths with him are struggling to survive with many survivors on a nearly destroyed planet...
Jiang Chen felt a little numb.
Had I known this, I would have said goodbye before leaving.
Li Xiao saw his expression and explained.
“If everyone knew that the planet for the promotion trial was a real world, it might have some impact.”
“So, we blocked the matter.”
“However, you don’t have to worry too much.”
“The goal of the first promotion trial is to save the fire of civilization. You have received an SSS-level evaluation, which is already very successful.”
Li Xiao paused and continued.
“And, this also involves a third thing.”
“When you have perfectly achieved the goal of the trial and retained the fire of civilization.”
“Then, there will also be a seed of [Abyss Pattern] left behind.”
“This is the real [fire] in the trial.”
That is to say…
In today's steam world, new mecha masters are also born?
And just like Blue Star’s mecha masters, they can explore the abyss, clear dungeons, and even upgrade their levels?
You won’t be able to meet Laila and the others again in the future, right?
Jiang Chen rubbed his forehead.
The amount of information is too much.
and…
“I remember that the abyss pattern first appeared on the Blue Star because of a person who returned from the abyss?”
Li Xiao nodded.
“Not many people had contact with him, and he didn’t reveal much, and he quickly disappeared again.”
“So, he should not be from Blue Star, but a visitor from other civilizations.”
…”
You are hiding too many things, right?
It is true that you cannot trust everything in the online encyclopedia.
Jiang Chen was speechless for a moment.
However, he remembered the original topic again.
“Boss, since Blue Star is not the only explorer of the abyss…”
“So, Blue Star’s current limit is level eight, what does that mean?”
"literal meaning."
“Eighth level is Blue Star’s current limit, not the limit of the mecha master, nor the limit of the abyss.”
Li Xiao opened his mouth and said.
“When we upgraded to the eighth level and recharged the abyss pattern, we got a prompt—”
“The civilization potential is insufficient and cannot continue to advance.”
“If you want to start the promotion trial, civilization must cross the [Abyss].”
