YM778.TV Chapter 31
Jiang Chen finally finished the repair work on the model Zero Mecha.
“Twelve hours…”
The time he spent repairing the model Zero Mecha was even two hours more than it would have taken using repair tools.
As for the benefits…
The twelve hours of “Mecha Prenatal Education,” whether it successfully reached the mecha soul of the model Zero or not, is still uncertain.
But it clearly made its way into Bai Ying’s heart.
Her gaze towards Jiang Chen was filled with nothing but admiration and respect.
“Sir, most mecha pilots, without the ability to perceive the mecha soul, would take at least a day to learn mecha repair on their first attempt…”
“That’s not even counting breaks in between.”
“You only took twelve hours to complete the mecha’s repair, and your talent has already surpassed many others!”
This quick pace of repair also proved that Lord Jiang Chen indeed devoted all his attention to the mecha’s repair.
Without love, this would have been impossible!
Bai Ying couldn’t help but add another comment.
“Your intentions will surely reach Zero!”
Jiang Chen nodded but did not respond.
After twelve consecutive hours of mecha repair, even with his constitution, he felt profound exhaustion, as though he could fall asleep instantly.
However, instead of sleeping, he crossed the room to the balcony.
Opening the window, the midday sunshine poured unobstructed onto his body, warm and comforting, feeling extremely pleasant.
Jiang Chen closed his eyes and spread his arms as wide as possible, bathing in the sunlight to the fullest extent.
In just ten minutes, when he reopened his eyes, the feeling of fatigue was swept away, his spirit and energy entirely returned to their peak state.
The ability [Root Core] could speed up the recovery of life force and improve the healing rate of injuries; under the sunlight, the recovery rate doubled.
The ability [Blood Demon Transformation] could convert life force into spirit and physical strength.
Together, the two abilities might not bring direct combat strength.
But they could extend endurance to an incredibly exaggerated level.
Today’s Jiang Chen, even without eating, drinking, or resting, would not be affected in the slightest.
“Humans need sleep; they need to rest.”
“If you take out these times, an ordinary person’s day is only eighteen hours or even less.”
“But I truly have twenty-four hours, able to operate supercharged all day long!”
Jiang Chen revealed a smile.
The abyss carbon copies had no attempt limits.
As long as the mecha pilot is willing, they could spend the entire day immersed in the abyss, continuously challenging monsters and bosses, acquiring resources.
But theory is theory and reality is reality.
Ordinary people who work intensively for several hours become wilted in spirit, and their efficiency plummets.
When mecha pilots explore in the abyss and confront bosses, their minds are constantly on edge, and the pressure is much greater than regular work.
Even rushing through an SSS-class evaluation takes about half an hour, with huge energy depletion.
After completing an abyss carbon copy, one needs to rest for a few hours before further exploration is possible.
Even if one wants to engage in feverish farming, it wouldn’t be feasible.
Jiang Chen had no such worries.
“From now on, please call me the Perpetual Motion Man, Jiang Chen the feverish farming king!”
“Abyss, activate!”
Sleep? Rest?
They don’t exist.
When I become a big shot in the future, there will be plenty of time to rest.
As a newcomer now, as long as I am not sleepy, I must farm ferociously!
Even if not for catching up with the pace of the leaders, I must find a way to earn money to pay off debts—
Keep in mind, there’s a 7th Rank mecha at home that consumes fifty thousand contributions daily!
Every day of rest is a day of burning money.
At this moment, Jiang Chen stood on the balcony, extended his right hand into a fist, and summoned the newly repaired model Zero Mecha.
Transform!
Roots coiled, white rocks fell.
Moments later, a purple and white mecha warrior reappeared in the mortal realm.
Bai Ying, seeing this scene, exclaimed in surprise.
“My lord, what is this…”
“Exploring the abyss.”
Jiang Chen sighed.
“Zero has already loaded all the modules and completed the enhancement; there’s no way to advance any further.”
“It’s me who limited its potential.”
“Therefore, I need to clear the Nightmare Abyss as soon as possible, acquire the traits of a mecha pilot, and begin the descent.”
“As long as I can break through to a 1st Rank mecha pilot, Zero will be able to undergo sublimation.”
“My lord…”
Bai Ying was shocked and touched.
Lord Jiang Chen, in order to allow the mecha to have a higher potential, continued to make repairs for twelve hours straight, not even willing to take a rest.
He immediately started exploring the abyss, choosing the highest difficulty of the zeroth level of the abyss!
In that moment, she felt as if she saw in Lord Jiang Chen the shadow of their master.
She remembered her master as the same, unwilling to rest, devoting all his energy and efforts to their enhancement…
“But my lord, please rest for a bit…”
“I’m not tired yet.”
Jiang Chen replied while initiating the abyss carbon copy.
[10, 9, 8…]
[Construction of the Age-Old Shadow complete.]
[Welcome to the abyss.]
…
[Current location: Endless Demons Realm]
[Level: Zero]
[Difficulty: Nightmare]
[Mission: Within five hours, kill the boss: Six-armed Rakshasa.]
A pitch-black fissure opened in the ruins of the stadium.
The purple and white mecha fell swiftly, knees slightly bent, landing in the center of the grassy field.
“This landing spot is different again…”
“Stadium…”
Jiang Chen looked around, clearly somewhat regretful.
If the scenery hadn’t changed, he could have become more familiar with the environment several times and headed straight for the place where the Six-armed Rakshasa was located to complete the task of killing the boss.
Now, he will need to explore the surroundings again, unable to speed through the level at breakneck pace.
Of course, the current difficulty of the Endless Demons Realm had already reached the Nightmare level.
At the highest difficulty of the zeroth level abyss, the strength of monsters at the Nightmare difficulty level is vastly greater than that of the Hard difficulty.
Even some genius mecha pilots in full gear must form teams to conquer it.
Jiang Chen wasn’t sure whether he could defeat the Six-armed Rakshasa and solo the Nightmare difficulty level.
But even if he couldn’t defeat the Six-armed Rakshasa,
with his exaggerated defense and recovery speed, staying alive for sixty seconds to forcibly exit the abyss was definitely not a problem.
“With such a powerful enemy, Zero, I won’t blame you if you can’t hold on.”
As Jiang Chen was having this close interaction with the mecha,
emaciated little demons began to emerge from the seats and passageways surrounding the stadium.
They almost turned into streaks of shadows, dragging long bone swords, rushing from all directions.
Jiang Chen stopped interacting; his mecha’s right hand grasped a metal rod, pumping energy into it, and a pale blue laser extended rapidly, forming a slender lightsaber.
He swung a newly learned sword move, striking out head-on.
“Come on, let’s see whose blade is sharper!”
