Chapter 276: Chapter 186: Someone’s Coming, Feed Everyone with Cakes!_1
The matter of the Light of Wonders had already been discussed with Li Xiao by Jiang Chen.
In recent days, the alliance had sped up the injection of the super ability gene serum in preparation for the construction of wonders.
After his return, Li Xiao, upon seeing the news about the authority upgrade of Planet Blue Star’s civilization, also thought of the wonders.
He immediately used his personal terminal to summon the alliance’s upper echelon for an online meeting.
It had only been a little over an hour since the last meeting on “civilization traits”.
The high-rank mecha pilots of the alliance had just started dealing with the many affairs triggered by the [Protector] trait when they were called back again.
The former second in command of the alliance couldn’t help but complain.
“The number of meetings in these recent months has almost surpassed that of the past few years.”
Li Xiao smiled and said, “This is a good thing, it shows that Planet Blue Star is developing rapidly, with each day bringing new changes.”
Many high-rank mecha pilots nodded in agreement, but couldn’t help sighing inwardly.
To describe the current pace of development of Planet Blue Star’s civilization as “each day bringing new changes” seemed an understatement.
How long has it been since they crossed the abyss?
Those who once stood at the pinnacle of Planet Blue Star as high-rank mecha pilots now had the feeling that they were being rendered obsolete by the times—
Were they once geniuses of SS-class and SSS-class?
The current SSS-class rookie mecha pilots were already being counted by the “thousands.”
And now, with the addition of the [Protector] trait, everyone could foresee that the SSS-class rating of the basic trials would be completely trampled underfoot.
And that’s just the rating of the trials.
Supercharge Modules, Protector traits, Abyss difficulty level, Legendary Shadow...
Just give a year or two of growth time to the mecha pilots of the new era.
It’s really hard to say how many of the alliance’s high-level members present would still be able to sit here.
“During this period of time, I went through the alliance’s archives and found that there are Rebirth Civilizations in the abyss that allow mecha pilots to be reborn and start over...”
One of the high-rank mecha pilots spoke up.
Li Xiao shook his head.
“That’s a privilege of ancient civilizations, very precious.”
“Even other ancient civilizations need to pay a very high price to trade for the privilege of rebirth.”
“What does Planet Blue Star have to trade?”
“...”
The high-rank mecha pilots showed disappointment in their eyes.
Indeed, compared to those ancient civilizations, the heritage of Planet Blue Star as a newer civilization was too thin.
The Supercharge Modules, treasured by them, would certainly be commonplace among ancient civilizations.
Without the ‘supercharged’ tag, ordinary modules might as well be garbage strewn in the street that no one would bother to pick up.
What do they have to trade with such a gap in material wealth?
“Therefore, we must create wonders!”
This was a virtual meeting projected through personal terminals.
Jiang Chen stood beside Li Xiao, and now, he spoke up.
“Regardless of the level of civilization, the quality of the wonders they possess is the same.”
“Even though our Planet Blue Star has just started, as long as we build a Civilization Wonder, we can obtain things and bonuses comparable to those of ancient civilizations!”
“This is the best way for us to catch up with ancient civilizations.”
“If it’s a wonder of the specialty type, it can definitely be used to trade with Rebirth Civilizations for the privilege of rebirth.”
“Moreover, we can build our own wonders like the Samsara Platform, Netherworld on this planet, deepest Hell, and so on.”
“There’s no need to rely on other civilizations as we would be capable of reincarnation and rebirth ourselves!”
“By then, the elders here will have plenty of ways to make up for deficiencies and rejuvenate for a second spring!”
“...”
Jiang Chen’s speech was like serving up a feast, leaving the high-rank mecha pilots utterly bewildered.
Their spirits surged, and they nodded vigorously.
At that moment, no matter which organization or country these high-level members of the alliance had once belonged to, their hearts reached an agreement.
No one wanted to be eliminated by the times, falling from the clouds into the mud.
As long as they were still in power, no matter the cost, they must build wonders!
Jiang Chen saw their resolute eyes and nodded in satisfaction.
The pitch was complete, it was time to start stoking the fire and cooking.
[Basic Time Consumption: Three thousand Blue Star years.
(The construction time can be reduced when civilization members participate in building.
The more civilization members participating, the higher their ranks, the longer their involvement, and the greater their favor towards the Light of Hope, the more the construction time is reduced.)]
[Wonder Effect: Unknown (The specific effects of the wonder can only be viewed upon completion.)]
[Description: Ignite the soul, light the path ahead.]
“How is it, what kind of Wondrous Blueprint is it?”
At this critical moment, even the high rank mecha pilots couldn’t care less about their image.
One after another, they craned their necks, eagerly looking at the “Star Torch” interwoven from light in Jiang Chen’s hand, wanting to know its specific effects.
But Jiang Chen shook his head.
“Don’t know.”
“The blueprint only specifies the material requirements and the construction time. The specific wonders’ effects can only be known after the wonders are constructed.”
“What?”
Even Li Xiao showed a hint of disappointment.
However, this was understandable.
If just a glance at the blueprint would reveal the wonders’ specific effects, it would be possible to obtain enough [Light of Wonders] tools to try all possible combinations and choose a wonder to construct.
That would cause the wonder to lose its mystique.
“About the requirements?”
Jiang Chen opened his personal terminal and directly entered the blueprint information.
Upon looking at it, the alliance mecha pilots couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Precious?
Starting with several hundred 12th Rank materials, the 11th Rank and 10th Rank materials were countless; this was outrageously exaggerated!
Even if they were to drain the whole Planet Blue Star, they couldn’t possibly gather so many materials!
Currently, the strongest mecha pilot on Planet Blue Star had only reached the 9th Rank!
Plus, the basic construction time was three thousand years...
The history of mecha pilots on Blue Star was only twenty years!
At this time, only Jiang Chen and Li Xiao appeared to be very calm.
“The material consumption and construction time are linked to the current state of the civilization,” Jiang Chen explained.
“Even if we were to change the blueprint, the level of materials required wouldn’t decrease—”
“And actually, we’ve made a profit.”
“We only need a bit of 12th Rank materials to build a wonder.”
“If this were one of those ancient civilizations, the materials and time required would probably be astronomical numbers!”
Jiang Chen looked at Li Xiao.
“Moreover, the big shot recently acquired a supercharged mecha and has greatly increased in strength.”
“The combat power has already reached the 12th Rank, and as long as we find a suitable 12th Rank alien demon, we can obtain these materials...”
“...”
The Symbol of the Alliance has reached the 12th Rank?!
The high rank mecha pilots present already knew that Li Xiao had crossed the abyss.
But they had not expected that not only had Li Xiao crossed the abyss, his strength had also escalated to such an exaggerated level!
12th Rank...
They felt as if they were witnessing the once supreme might blossoming once more.
After the shock and complex emotions subsided, they turned their gaze back to Jiang Chen.
The Symbol of the Alliance wouldn’t become strong without reason.
There was only one cause for such a sudden change.
The Light of Hope had made a move.
Jiang Chen saw their thoughts and said with a smile.
“It’s just some supercharge upgrade tools, which probably aren’t very valuable to ancient civilizations.”
“Their value can’t compare to that of the wonders.”
“So... shall we construct it?”
“...Construct!”
The alliance’s higher-ups exchanged glances and made their choice without hesitation.
Even if it meant spending all their resources, even if they had to toil every day, they would construct the wonder!
