MTL - You Agreed To Fight Mechas, But Your Body Exploded Into Stars?-Chapter 97 Young man, come and spread the fire!
Chapter 97 Young man, come and spread the fire!
Star base, mecha reinforcement area.
Li Xiao told the whole story in detail through his personal terminal and asked Jiang Chen if he wanted to meet this "visitor from the abyss."
Putting the right of choice in Jiang Chen’s hands.
Jiang Chen’s thoughts are basically the same as Li Xiao’s.
The other party did not hide its whereabouts, but took the initiative to expose it, negotiate with the alliance, and explain its reasons.
itself has proven his goodwill.
After all, if the other party has power beyond the eighth level and has malicious intentions, there is no need to see Jiang Chen at all.
Launch a direct attack and kill all the high-level mecha masters of Blue Star.
Those strange monsters with strength levels of eight or nine will naturally wipe out every survivor on Blue Star.
If the other party does not have this strength...
Then there is no need to worry.
Therefore, Jiang Chen decided to meet this visitor from the abyss.
Since the other party is the person who brought the Abyss Mark to Blue Star, he is a person of hope from other civilizations.
And can cross the abyss as soon as possible after the authority of Blue Star Civilization is upgraded.
Must have higher authority and know more information.
Not to mention anything else, just the special ability to cross the abyss independently and go to other civilizations is already very exciting.
After Jiang Chen replied, Li Xiao quickly sent a new message.
“Take Bai Ying with you and teleport to my base.”
…
Li Xiao’s star base is also an ecological structure, but the scene style has changed from the jungle to the coast.
Beach, sunshine, sea and sky.
No one would have thought that this place is actually inside a star.
At this time, the beach was extremely lively, like a beach party was being held.
Dozens of men and women dressed in cool clothes were either tasting the delicacies produced by the barbecue stalls or toasting to a drink.
There are also people lying on the beach to bask in the sun, looking extremely comfortable.
Jiang Chen teleported over and almost thought he was in the wrong place.
After a little observation, I discovered that the people participating in the beach party were all eighth-level mecha masters who had appeared not long ago.
They noticed the activated teleportation array, smiled and waved their hands as a greeting.
Even Li Xiao was standing by the barbecue grill, playing with the skewers.
“Jiang Chen, this way!”
“…Boss, what are you doing?”
Jiang Chen walked over, looking a little confused.
This atmosphere is completely different from what he thought!
Li Xiao smiled.
“If what Arno said is true, then he is the one who saved Blue Star.”
“Even Yuan Wen and the mecha master are the fire seeds he left behind.”
"For the hero who has saved civilization, as hosts, we naturally have to give him a good banquet."
Besides, a purple-haired young man held a dozen skewers in his hand and quickly stuffed them into his mouth.
He was also wearing swimming trunks and had eye-shaped black lines on his chest.
Hearing Li Xiao's words, the purple-haired young man quickly swallowed the skewers and spoke.
“Yes, I am also a guest after all. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, it’s time to treat me to something good.”
“By the way, this kind of barbecue, let’s get another hundred skewers and add more spices.”
"good."
Li Xiao said while grilling the skewers himself.
“By the way, the misunderstanding hasn’t been resolved yet... We haven’t been able to verify the authenticity of what you said yet.”
“Okay, okay, okay, it’s not resolved.”
The purple-haired young man wiped his mouth and smiled at Jiang Chen.
“Hello, Jiang Chen, the person of hope for Blue Star Civilization.”
“I am a man of hope from Gaia civilization, you can call me Arno.”
"…Hello."
Jiang Chen felt weird in his heart.
However, as he glanced around, he felt a little enlightened.
The eighth-level mecha masters seemed to be relaxing and enjoying the party, but in fact they were surrounding Arno.
The symbol of the alliance is closely monitored. If the situation is not good, the mecha can be summoned at any time.
Well, that must be the case.
“Boss, give me two.”
"Give."
“Hiss, it’s delicious!”
Jiang Chen enjoyed the craftsmanship of the first person in Blue Star, looked at this visitor from a different civilization, and expressed the questions in his heart.
"Arno, you said you came to Blue Star to find allies..."
"Why do you have to see me? Can't you just discuss it with the big guys directly?"
“And how do you know that Blue Star has crossed the abyss, and how did you get to Blue Star?”
Jiang Chen’s question is naturally everyone’s question.
The sounds on the beach were slightly lowered.
Arno put down the skewer and wiped his mouth.
“I’m here to bring you fire.”
“Pass the fire?”
In the confused eyes of everyone.
Arno began to preach.
“The abyss is like night, everything is enveloped in it and cannot escape.”
“Until one day, a spark suddenly lit up in the dark night, and it became stronger and stronger, forming a civilization.”
“There are too many unexpected factors in the dark night.”
"A gust of wind, a drop of rain, a grain of sand, a leaf..."
“These disasters are unavoidable and will easily extinguish the newly born spark of civilization and return it to darkness.”
“The traces they leave behind before they are extinguished form shadows.”
“However, there are always some lucky sparks that are not destroyed. Instead, with the help of disasters, they burn more vigorously and form flames.”
“However, facing the endless darkness, a flame is also so small.”
“In order to persevere, they gathered together and formed a bigger flame.”
“However, the flames themselves are few in number, and even if they are gathered together, they still cannot light up the night.”
“So, they thought of a way—”
“Since there are few flames, light more flames.”
“So, the fire bearer appeared.”
“They held up torches and walked in the abyss, looking for those weak sparks to ignite each fire.”
Arno took another bite of the skewers.
Wait for people to digest the information before continuing.
“The Blue Star is not a flame yet, it can only be regarded as a spark.”
“I am here to help your people of hope unlock more permissions and control the fire of civilization.”
“Otherwise, it will take you a long time to master the fire of civilization.”
“Furthermore, even if you master the fire of civilization, you cannot have the ability to spread fire.”
Arno tells it very clearly—
It is the story of the civilization that grew up first, and in order to fight against the boundless abyss, it took the initiative to help the weaker civilization.
but…
Jiang Chen asked in confusion.
“Why can’t I have the ability to spread fire even if I master the fire of civilization?”
“Because it is a civilizational trait.”
Arno said simply.
“Civilization Trait: [Fire Bearer].”
“The effect is: when you successfully shelter a civilization and leave a fire, it will leave a mark.”
“When the fire civilization crosses the abyss and obtains a person of hope, the fire bearer can pass the mark and go to the civilization again to share the characteristics of the [fire bearer].”
“A civilization with the trait of [Firebringer] can apply for rescue from other [Firebringer] civilizations when encountering an abyss disaster.”
“Successfully rescuing other civilizations will enhance your own civilization potential.”
“At present, there are only a few civilizations that have independently awakened the characteristics of fire bearers.”
“Even if Blue Star continues to improve its potential, it may not be able to awaken the firebringer trait.”
Jiang Chen suddenly realized. After Blue Star crossed the abyss, Arno was able to come over so quickly.
Obviously, it relies on the effect of this fire bearer trait.
Furthermore, the various civilizations in the abyss can also be united with the help of the Fire Bearer trait.
Help each other and fight against disasters.
This civilizational trait is so awesome!
Li Xiao on the side stopped and frowned slightly.
“Rescuing other civilizations can enhance the potential of one’s own civilization?”
"Yes."
Arno nodded.
“While igniting other flames, it will naturally make its own flames burn more vigorously.”
Li Xiao frowned and quietly pressed his fingers on the Yuan pattern.
“So, if a fire-bringing civilization wipes out all the mecha masters of another civilization after spreading the fire...”
“Let the civilization lose the ability to fight against the disaster of the abyss.”
“In order to survive, civilized survivors can only keep applying for rescue.”
“So, can the Firebringer civilization that rescues this civilization continue to improve the potential of civilization?”
…”
Jiang Chen’s expression condensed.
The order of Blue Star is too peaceful, and seniors such as Li Xiao are also amiable.
As a result, the first time he heard about the characteristics of the Fire Bearer, he did not think in a dark direction.
At this time, when he heard Li Xiao's question, he suddenly became alert.
The atmosphere on the beach instantly became tense.
Arno sighed and answered in the affirmative.
"Yes, it's OK."
“The original idea of the Fire Communication Civilization was to seek allies and develop together.”
“However, as the number of fire bearers increased, various situations began to occur one after another.”
“Some fire-bringing civilizations began to actively attack those civilizations that applied for rescue, completely destroying them, so that they had to keep applying for rescue and turned them into nutrients.”
“This civilization is called [Fire Raiders].”
“The Firebringer civilization on the lawful side didn’t want this kind of thing to happen to them, so they fought against the Fire Raiders during the rescue..."
“The two formed hostile factions and have been fighting to this day.”
“I belong to the group of fire bearers, dedicated to rescuing civilization and uniting allies.”
After Arno said this, he spoke again.
“Do you need to spread the fire?”
…”
On the beach, there was a dead silence.
Jiang Chen and Li Xiao both frowned and were speechless for a moment.
According to Arno, spreading fire can enhance the potential of civilization, develop more allies, and prevent civilization from being wiped out by disasters...
The benefits are many.
However, the shortcomings are even more fatal—
Arno calls himself the Firebringer Faction, dedicated to rescuing civilization and uniting allies.
What if it’s fake?
Suppose he is a Fire Raider and wants to coax Jiang Chen into inheriting the [Fire Bearer] trait, and then start to attack...
Then, as long as he has a power exceeding level nine, Blue Star will be almost impossible to stop him.
Of course, this possibility is very low.
After all, if Arno is a Fire Raider, saying these words is asking for trouble, actively exposing himself, and crushing his brain to the ground.
but…
Even if there is only a slight possibility.
For Blue Star, it is almost equivalent to a disaster.
This is an extremely difficult decision.
"I…"
“We agree to spread the fire.”
Li Xiao interrupted Jiang Chen and said directly.
There is no point in saying no.
If Arno is a powerful Fire Raider, even if he refuses, he can directly take action and eliminate Blue Star's resistance, leaving only Jiang Chen alone.
At that time, Jiang Chen will either choose to spread the fire or choose to destroy.
Therefore, Blue Star has only one way to survive from beginning to end—
Arno did not lie.
In this case, the decision must be made by Li Xiao himself.
Even if he is wrong, it is Li Xiao himself who is wrong.
“Big brother…”
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and looked at Arno in front of him.
“How do we spread the fire?”
“Show your abyss.”
Yano touched the abyss pattern on Jiang Chen's palm, and a message emerged.
【People of hope for Gaia civilization, I apply to you to spread the fire of civilization. 】
【Whether to accept? 】
"accept."
【The fire of civilization has been ignited, and Blue Star has acquired the civilization trait: Fire Bearer】
【You are the person of hope of Blue Star Civilization, and the permission to transmit fire has been unlocked. (Please check Yuanwen for details)]
Jiang Chen has no viewing information.
Instead, he put down his palm and looked at Arno in front of him.
Everyone’s eyes are also focused here.
Arno spread his hands helplessly.
“I said, I am a fire spreader, not a fire snatcher.”
“Should the misunderstanding be resolved now?”
Seeing that he showed no sign of summoning the mecha.
Everyone felt as if a huge stone had fallen from their hearts, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Jiang Chen had no expression on his face.
Obviously Arno does not have any ill intentions, but is constantly releasing kindness.
Blue Star had to be cautious because of its own weakness, and even experienced an inner struggle like facing death...
Powerless, weak.
At this moment, Jiang Chen seemed to be on the bus again.
Facing that abyss monster, I have no ability to resist and can only sit back and wait for death.
Attributes over 10,000?
Weak, too weak.
The full level strength of a zero-level mecha is about ten digits.
First-order hundreds, second-order thousands, third-order tens of thousands…
In addition, after the mecha undergoes sublimation, its quality will be improved, more modules can be loaded, and its attributes will be further improved.
In other words, with ten thousand attributes, it cannot even reach the normal third level strength.
You are complacent because you have crushed the first level of the abyss?
Not enough, far from enough!
He wants to become stronger, strong enough to overcome all challenges!
“The current capabilities of Blue Star Civilization are not enough to help other civilizations fight against disasters…”
“In fact, within our ability, we recommend that civilizations fight disasters on their own and not rely too much on their companions—”
“Although disasters will bring destruction, as long as civilization can overcome it, it can also usher in growth.”
“Not to mention, when you apply for rescue, you will also attract the covetousness of fire raiders.”
Arno said.
“Passing fire is just the foundation.”
“In the next two days, I will help Jiang Chen gain more authority and grow up as soon as possible.”
The fire spread was completed and Arno did not launch an attack.
The misunderstanding was resolved, and the Blue Star mecha masters were finally able to trust him.
Li Xiao also nodded.
"Feel sorry."
“It’s okay, I was also very nervous when I was criticized.”
“That’s why we must unite...otherwise, the abyss will become the world of the Fire Raiders.”
Arno looked at Jiang Chen and said with a smile.
“Everyone is a person of hope. I happen to have a first-level mecha. Do you want to fight with me to test your own level?”
