Chapter 96: Chapter 88: A Friend Slot, One Mythical Material!_1

Translator: 549690339

When the “Group Diver” civilization trait began to take effect,

over seventy percent of the population on Planet Blue Star had awakened their Abyss Runes, allowing them to view their own talent attributes and… summon the Zero model mecha!

This naturally had a huge impact.

It even led to turbulence and chaos.

Twenty years ago, just over a hundred thousand mecha pilots had already plunged Planet Blue Star into chaos. If it had been a General Awakening, who knows if the civilization’s structure on Planet Blue Star would have been on the brink of collapse!

Luckily, over these past twenty years, the alliance has risen and established a new order on Planet Blue Star.

Alliance mecha pilots have gained ample experience in dealing with small-scale chaos through countless incidents of handling abyssal monsters.

Moreover, with the considerable disparity in mecha attributes,

even a 1st rank mecha pilot could easily suppress any uprising caused by a 0th rank mecha.

Therefore, after the initial chaos and a small number of zero-cost acquisitions, order on Planet Blue Star was quickly restored.

Especially in Xia Kingdom, the chaos resulting from the mass awakening of Abyss Runes was the least in number and the quickest to recover.

Of course, these events could not reach a certain man-made island deep in the ocean.

Nearly a hundred 8th rank powerhouses gathered together. Even if a 9th rank strength abyssal monster appeared here, it wouldn’t be able to breathe for even a few seconds.

However, 8th rank mecha pilots themselves were extremely busy.

With Planet Blue Star in the midst of transformation and turmoil, they had many more things to do.

For example, among the newly awakened talents of Planet Blue Star, there might be individuals with SSS-class potential.

Recruiting them into the organization and nurturing them patiently had many benefits!

Therefore, after they saw the new star who brought hope to Planet Blue Star by braving the Abyss difficulty level, they quickly took their leave.

Before leaving, they did not forget to ask Jiang Chen for his contact info—

Though it’s possible that another “Hope of Humanity” might arise among the swelling ranks of mecha pilots on Planet Blue Star, perhaps even more,

it’s just “possible.”

Now, one who has already grown into the Hope of Humanity stands before them. How could anyone easily overlook him?

One of the 8th rank mecha pilots approached Jiang Chen, touched the Abyss Rune, and took out a fist-sized, bizarre crystal.

Within its transparent crystalline layers, it seemed to contain countless stars.

“Brother Jiang, my name is Soros, founder of the Deep Thought Faction,”

“Thank you for traversing the abyss and carving a new path for our Planet Blue Star, obtaining a ticket to a higher level… The Hope of Humanity, truly worthy of the title.”

“This is a Stars Mineral Core I obtained during the 8th rank advancement trial.”

“It’s a mythical quality material for 8th rank, used to strengthen mecha. It can significantly increase the armor value and there’s a chance for the mecha to gain the power of ‘Asterism’.”

“Consider it a gift for our first meeting, I hope you don’t find it too meager.”

“Oh, and let’s add each other as friends. Keep in touch in the future. If you have any materials or modules you want to sell, you can also send them to me to take a look…”

“Soros is too polite!”

Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up with excitement as he quickly received the Stars Mineral Core and stored it in the Abyss Rune.

The most valuable aspect of this material—

is not its “mythical quality” or its “8th rank.”

It’s the fact that it’s an “advancement output!”

You see, advancement trials are different from the Age-Old Shadow, which can be infinitely repeated.

They possess the rare characteristics of “real world,” “super high burst rate,” “extremely rare,” “once per rank.”

These not only greatly enhance the value of the output,

but also give these advancement trials’ outputs a “uniqueness.”

After all, there are less than a hundred 8th rank mecha pilots in total.

This means there have been less than a hundred 8th rank trials experienced by Planet Blue Star.

You can imagine the rarity of these materials.

If it weren’t for the extremely low output of Supercharge Modules,

these high-rank materials that can bring advanced characteristics wouldn’t necessarily be less valuable than low-rank supercharged ones.

Most importantly…

This was the expense of a powerhouse “buying a friend slot” to curry Jiang Chen’s favor.

How could Jiang Chen turn away the face of an 8th rank powerhouse?

He promptly took out his personal terminal and added the powerhouse as a friend.

Seeing that their friendly transaction had ended, another 8th rank powerhouse squeezed in.

“Young friend Jiang, I’m Kray, the leader of the Ark Organization.”

“Thank you for your contributions to Planet Blue Star. This is a 7th rank mythical material produced by advancement trial, the Time Ruin Gravel.”

“Though it’s only 7th rank, it has a high probability of granting time affinity to mecha, giving them control over time!”

“I have many more rare materials like this, and each one is of the highest quality.”

“Add me as a friend. If you need to trade for a supercharged module, just contact me. I’ll make sure you’re satisfied!”

Rare time-related material!

Jiang Chen quickly took the small bottle of golden gravel and stored it in the Abyss Rune.

In terms of attributes, time and space are absolutely top-tier among them all.

Any ability module related to them would have extremely rare effects.

In terms of values, they might not match the supercharged modules.

But in terms of mechanism, they far surpass the usual supercharged ones!

For many mecha pilots, rare time modules are even more valuable than supercharge modules!

In fact, among the current top mecha of Planet Blue Star,

only three have embarked on the path of time, awakening time-related modules.

This demonstrated their rarity.

A 7th rank material surpasses the 8th rank!

“Don’t worry, big shot, I’ll definitely keep it in mind!”

Soros nearly gnashed his teeth in frustration.

Damn it, competing maliciously for friend slots now, are we?

So what if he has precious time-related materials?

Even if Jiang Chen is exceptionally skilled and dedicated, in the end, he’s just a super newbie.
