After all, starting out with the enormous debt of hiring a 7th Rank mecha was quite frightening; it felt like he was purely working for someone else.

But now, things were much better.

Ruan Mingyu, a big shot of the 7th Rank, already had a need for Jiang Chen.

Under such circumstances, he could easily take on a few orders and gather enough to pay her commission.

Jiang Chen could also accept her protection with a clear conscience.

After all, without payment, it was a case of a big shot protecting a newbie.

With payment, it was more like a bodyguard and the boss.

The mentality and status instantly changed, okay!

Xie Minglei spoke up.

“Now that you, Brother Jiang, have decided to join the alliance, you should go with Senior Ruan to the Alliance Headquarters to register your gene information.”

“There are many facilities and venues suitable for us mecha pilots to use at the headquarters, where you can strengthen and modify your mecha.”

“You can also sell the modules and materials you obtained during the basic trials.”

“The burst rate in basic trials is extremely high; you must have gotten quite a few good things that can be exchanged for your first pot of gold.”

“I really envy you talents…”

Jiang Chen heard his implication.

“Senior Xie, aren’t you coming with us?”

“No, I took on a contribution mission, and I have to guide other newcomers later. Let’s add each other as friends. If you have any questions, just send me a message,” Xie Minglei said with a smile.

“Also, I suggest you complete your advancement as soon as possible and elevate your initial mecha.”

“Even though there’s the New Talent Protection Act, it’s impossible to eliminate everyone’s covetousness.”

“After all, the Supercharge Module is too precious; even an 8th Rank mecha pilot would be tempted by it.”

“Only when your mecha has been upgraded and has fully absorbed the Supercharge Module will others stop coveting what you have…”

Jiang Chen nodded.

Senior Xie was right.

Such widely known precious items were better used as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully at night.

However, the Mecha Rank Upgrade was a very important matter—there were no second chances.

It had to be approached cautiously.

“I’ll make a trip to the Mecha Pilots Alliance Headquarters first to see how others configure their Mecha Modules before considering the upgrade.”

He added Senior Xie as a friend.

Led by the Bai Ying mecha, Jiang Chen walked out of the hotel.

As he crossed the threshold, he saw the white mecha transform, and in a blink of an eye, it became a little girl dressed in Lolita fashion.

“…Senior Ruan?”

Jiang Chen tried calling out.

The little girl turned her head, her voice clear and crisp.

“Master has disconnected. Do you need something, Mr. Jiang Chen? Bai Ying can call the Master.”

“No, it’s nothing; you don’t need to call Senior Ruan.”

Jiang Chen hurriedly refused, hesitantly looking at her appearance.

“Bai Ying, are you now…”

“The mecha form is too conspicuous and could attract unnecessary attention, so Bai Ying has taken on an appearance mimicry.”

“This is Bai Ying’s most commonly used mimicry appearance, but if Mr. Jiang Chen dislikes it, there are other preset appearances to choose from. You can also customize, or switch back to the mecha form…”

A palm-sized holographic projection appeared in front of Bai Ying, switching rapidly.

“No need, this is fine.”

Jiang Chen shook his head, deep in thought.

If one were to disregard the machine form and opt for a human appearance, paired with advanced artificial intelligence,

Bai Ying would resemble, not so much a mecha, but rather an artificial human.

She could be assigned to complete tasks outside, take care of domestic chores, and provide full support functionality.

In battle, there was no need to wear her; she could appear alongside other mechas and collaborate in combat.

Even if all of Senior Ruan’s mechas were of a similarly high-intelligence type.

She didn’t even need to take the field in person, she could remotely control her mecha and complete various group battles.

“Isn’t this just a special type of mecha pilot school?”

“Summoning school?”

“That’s so cool!”

Jiang Chen sighed with admiration but then shook his head.

Mecha evolution required module configurations, and merely equipping an intelligent module wouldn’t unleash its full potential, instead, it would sacrifice the potential for evolution.

Therefore, a complete set of modules needed to be combined to progressively upgrade and evolve, forming high-quality mechas.

Senior Ruan’s choice of this summoning mecha system must be related to her talent.

Jiang Chen’s talent, however, wasn’t highly compatible with this type of summoning system.

What he needed wasn’t this type of intelligent mecha.

Instead, he needed a powerful mecha that could allow him to absorb attributes and give him more strength.

“Mecha that could provide strength also vary in schools.”

“Small, medium, large, extra-large…”

“Alloy, nano, magic energy, Transcendent, biological, elemental, steam…”

“How should I choose and configure?”

…

With Bai Ying’s guidance, Jiang Chen arrived at a park.

The outer layer of the park resembled a hospital structure; it’s where the alliance rescue team worked, always waiting to head out and conduct rescue operations for survivors of abyss monster attacks.

Of course, they were not responsible for fighting the monsters, but rather for the rescue of survivors and other clean-up tasks.

Inside the park, it was much more diverse.

Villas, swimming pools, courts, game houses…

Jiang Chen thought he had come to some resort and couldn’t help but ask.

“Is this Alliance Headquarters?”

“No, this is the rest area, available for free use by mecha pilots returning from the abyss, a place for them to relax and recuperate.”

Bai Ying explained.

“The headquarters is above.”

“Above?”

Jiang Chen looked up, gazing at the cloudless azure sky, his heart filled with surprise and suspicion.

There was nothing in the sky, could it be in outer space?

Bai Ying’s voice confirmed his guess.

“An 8th Rank mecha pilot stationed his mecha in space, orbiting the planet, monitoring Planet Blue Star.”

“Ensuring that when abyss monsters appeared, mecha pilots could arrive at the scene at the first possible moment.”

“To this day, this mecha has undergone countless modifications and has become the Mecha Pilots Alliance Headquarters.”

“It hides in space, and its coordinates are the alliance’s topmost secret; we need to use teleportation magic to reach the headquarters.”

Space mecha, teleportation magic?

How were these two terms connected?

Jiang Chen scratched his head.

Clearly, when mecha pilots explored the abyss, they were not only training by defeating monsters.

At the same time, they also learned a part of the knowledge from the Age-Old Shadow, bringing it back and applying some transformations to Planet Blue Star.

All of these were things Jiang Chen didn’t know.

At this moment, the two reached an open space in the interior of the park.

This place was fashioned like an altar, its surface engraved with complex patterns.

When Jiang Chen and Bai Ying stepped onto the altar, the patterns lit up slightly, and a voice echoed in their ears.

“Verification complete, temporary permission obtained, beginning teleportation.”

A burst of light illuminated, forcing them to involuntarily close their eyes.

Moments later, Jiang Chen opened his eyes again, his breath catching for a moment.

He found himself standing on a spacious steel platform, with no longer the blue sky and white clouds above.

Instead, there was a planet larger than several moons combined, a deep blue planet, and the boundless starry space surrounding it.

That voice rang out once more.

“Teleportation successful, welcome to Xuntian City.”
