Chapter 119: Chapter 98: Receiving Civilization Feedback, Unlocking Permissions!_1

A 1st Rank mecha achieving the strength of a 3rd Rank was due to the multiplicative calculations of an entire set of supercharged modules and the mecha pilot’s talent, which resulted in a qualitative leap.

However, just a few days ago on Planet Blue Star, Supercharge Modules were an incredibly rare existence.

Even an SSS-class 8th Rank mecha pilot would at most have a single main mecha equipped with one Supercharge Module.

This suppressed the upper limit of all mecha pilots on Planet Blue Star.

Not to mention surpassing two ranks.

Even the Symbol of the Alliance could at most possess the strength to surpass one rank. Coupled with traits and other bonuses, they could manage to slay a 9th Rank while being an 8th Rank.

If it came to the strength of a 10th Rank, they would be instantly killed upon encounter.

Therefore, though it was a battle between two sets of “1st Rank mecha,”

the watching 8th Rank mecha pilots still found their hearts racing and were left speechless.

To bring out a hundredfold power from a low-ranked mecha?!

This is still the strength after suppressing the mecha’s power and excluding trait bonuses?!

At this moment, they truly felt the gap between themselves and the one they had pinned their hopes on.

According to the mecha pilot system where each rank higher means a tenfold increase in attributes,

the gap between high-end and low-end combat power is as vast as the heavens and the earth.

No wonder he is the hope…

For a civilization, nurturing just one such powerful individual would allow them to hold up the torch of civilization, withstand countless calamities, and carry civilization forward!

Such a person is the hope of civilization!

So, who is the hope of the Planet Blue Star civilization?

“I concede.”

Li Xiao and the other 8th Rank mecha pilots watched the three-meter-tall muscular giant who had just blown up a Supercharged Mecha with a single punch, bow slightly with a somewhat ferocious smile.

They fell silent for a moment.

Is this Planet Blue Star’s hope…

It actually feels reassuring!

On the sea surface, Yano, with his own anti-gravity device, still stood in the air even after his mecha had shattered.

He looked at the muscular giant before him.

The pores on the giant’s skin were continuously releasing high-temperature steam, and his body shrank rapidly, returning to the size of an average young man. The fierce smile due to the muscles also returned to one that was open and friendly.

Yano was silent for a moment before speaking.

“A twentyfold increase?”

Clearly, he was referring to the strength increase that Jiang Chen’s mecha pilot talent could bring.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

“Pretty much.”

He had stumbled upon a treasure!

In Yano’s heart, joy bubbled up.

At the level of the one who was the hope, using the basic trials’ evaluation to measure their talent potential was meaningless—

Even the Supercharge Module granted by an SSS-class evaluation was just standard for the Abyss difficulty level, not really anything special.

Therefore, those who were civilization’s hope had a more straightforward logic to measure talent and potential.

[Strength Increase]

The lords at the Abyss Level 1 had attributes within ten thousand.

A 1st Rank initial mecha, paired with a half set of Supercharge Modules, just needed to have more than an eightfold talent increase to have a chance of defeating a lord, overcoming the abyss.

Even with a slightly lower bonus, with the help of two outstanding supporting allies, it might also be possible to clear the level.

But obviously, this way of clearing the level was too forced; even if it produced a person of hope, they would not have much potential.

Therefore, eight to twelvefold is considered the lower limit for a person of hope.

Thirteen to twentyfold, this kind of talent strength that could push through the Abyss on its own, among the many civilizations that had crossed the Abyss, is considered an excellent level.

Of course, the growth nature of the talent must also be considered—

The talents of those who were the hope usually have growth potential— the bonus strength would change depending on the quality of the mecha.

For example, Yano had a tenfold increase when he was 1st Rank.

Latterly, with higher quality mechas, the strength bonus from his talent also improved accordingly.

The total bonus strength had already surpassed twentyfold.

This did not hinder his feeling of surprise.

His talent could grow, and naturally, so could Jiang Chen’s!

Carrying a 1st Rank low-level mecha and achieving a twentyfold increase, if the rank and the quality of the mecha were to improve…

Wouldn’t the increase be even greater?

Even among the top hopefuls from various civilizations, that would place him among the best!

The most important part is,

This level of a person of hope was personally uncovered by Yano.

If in the future the Gaia civilization encountered an Abyss Calamity or even an invasion from a Fire Plunderer…

Jiang Chen, as Gaia civilization’s close ally, would absolutely be able to offer tremendous help, weathering the calamity together.

Yano did not hide the joy in his heart and laughingly said,

“This talent and potential are much stronger than mine back in the day.”

“Even compared with the hopeful individuals from all the Fire Transmitter civilizations, you can definitely rank among the middle level…”

“Middle level?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was slightly startled.

“A twentyfold attribute increase is only considered middle level?”

“You shouldn’t underestimate middle level; among the first generation of hopeful individuals, it already belongs to the most outstanding group!”

Yano explained,

“Crossing the Abyss or conducting Fire Transmission or Fire Plunder will enhance Civilization Potential.”

“This Civilization Potential not only can be used to unlock civilization traits but also represents the real potential of civilization!”

“The higher the Civilization Potential, the more it will increase the strength of a person of hope.”

“Moreover, it also raises the likelihood of producing genius mecha pilots within the civilization!”

Yano couldn’t help sighing,

“Let alone Planet Blue Star, even our Gaia civilization is just a young civilization among the many in the Abyss.”

“Those oldest, most ancient and powerful civilizations, their Civilization Potential… I wonder to what extent it has reached…”

“Their persons of hope have already gone through several changes.”
