You Agreed To Fight Mechas, But Your Body Exploded Into Stars?

Chapter 3 Basic Trial: Ruins of Mutations

People who are contaminated with the aura of the abyss have a higher probability of awakening the abyss pattern.

Jiang Chen is the first, but definitely not the last.

 Therefore, Xie Minglei gathered all the survivors, explained the reason a little, and started to preach.

“You may have learned some things about the abyss from the Internet, but it’s a matter of life, so I’d better explain it a little more.”

“The abyss is like a shadow fragment reflecting countless worlds, with almost endless shadows of the world.”

“You may see a wild alien planet full of giant beasts, you may enter a strange kingdom that masters magical magic, or you may enter an apocalyptic end full of mutated monsters...”

“The mission of the mecha master is to absorb the breath of the abyss in these shadows of the past and obtain materials to strengthen the mecha.”

Xie Minglei was talking and paused.

 He looked at the longing in the eyes of some survivors and shook his head.

“But, you are not mecha masters.”

“Even if you have awakened the Abyss Pattern, you have not yet passed the trial, let alone experienced combat-related training.”

“Facing the enemies in the shadow of the abyss, all you can rely on is a Zero Mecha.”

“You know, the armor value of the Zero mecha is only ten points.”

  “What is this concept?”

“Even if the enemies in the basic trial are relatively weak, a heavy hit is enough to lose a bit of armor value.”

“In other words, with ten points of armor, you can withstand up to ten attacks!”

“Once it exceeds this limit, the mecha will be completely scrapped and returned to Yuanwen to wait for repairs.”

“At that time, you can only use your mortal body to face those terrifying monsters.”

“You must have not forgotten how terrifying the monster just now was, right?”

  The survivors couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the bus not far away.

 It has been lifted up, but there are still long lacerations on the side of the car.

Mortal flesh fighting against monsters?

There is only one way to die!

Xie Minglei then continued.

 “So, what I’m telling you is—”

 “Avoid fighting!”

  “Don’t think about what’s going on in the basic trial, just kill big and get the top rating.”

“Often people with this kind of thinking can only survive one out of ten people.”

"What you have to do is to avoid fighting as much as possible, observe the environment, and find a safe place as soon as possible..."

“As long as you persist for twenty-four hours, you can pass the trial and become an official mecha master.”

“When the time comes, you will have complete control over the abyss pattern, and you will be able to freely enter and exit the abyss to explore, and you can also purchase materials to strengthen the mecha.”

 “It can grow naturally, there is no need to rush.”

Xie Minglei glanced at the crowd and saw that they were no longer excited, so he nodded slightly.

 This wave of newcomers don't seem to be reckless and reckless, so the survival rate should be good.

 As for the newcomer named Jiang Chen...

Although he is wearing a full-face mecha helmet and his expression cannot be seen, he is so timid and will definitely follow his own advice and hide.

 Xie Minglei continued.

“Of course, the situation in the trial world is equally complex, and it is impossible to completely avoid fighting.”

"Before the trial begins, I will quickly teach you the basic self-defense methods of the Type Zero mecha..."

“In addition, if you are unlucky and encounter an abyss monster attack and your armor value drops too quickly, don’t panic too much.”

“When you kill abyss monsters, the abyss pattern will absorb the breath of the abyss and grow.”

“In this process, Yuan Wen has a probability of condensing props, materials, and modules.”

“The explosion rate of the basic trial is quite high. You may get props to repair the mecha and replenish the armor value.”

"In addition, the trial world itself may also have hidden recovery items..." After some threats.

 Xie Minglei really started to demonstrate a fighting method suitable for mechas, and shared more experience.

Jiang Chen, as the first person to awaken Yuan Wen, was also called to the front by him to train and demonstrate tactics together.

 During this process, other survivors also gradually awakened to the Abyss Pattern.

 …

 Sixty minutes go by in a blink of an eye.

 With the last minute of countdown left, Xie Minglei stopped teaching.

 He asked Jiang Chen to sort out his mood and said seriously.

 “Staying alive is the most important thing.”

Jiang Chen stood there, looking at Xie Minglei who was walking towards the others, and his mood had completely calmed down.

He very much agreed with what the senior mecha master said.

 Staying alive is the most important thing.

"According to Senior Xie, the explosion rate of the basic trial is extremely high... This is not common in subsequent abyss explorations."

“Secondly, the evaluation rewards of the basic trial are far more generous than those of the subsequent abyss exploration.”

“Many powerful mecha masters have achieved excellent evaluations in basic trials and have thus created powerful core mechas.”

“Obviously, this is the reward of the abyss for newcomers and the brave.”

“Besides, I am different from other mecha masters. My talent is to enhance my body [Undead Unarmed].”

“Once other mecha masters’ mechas are damaged, they will become mortal bodies and completely lose their combat effectiveness.”

“But I can absorb the attribute value of the mecha, and my strength will not be reduced at all!”

Under the pitch-black helmet, Jiang Chen’s eyes were firm.

 He didn’t want to have to sit back and wait for death the next time he encountered a monster.

For this reason, he must take the initiative to kill monsters and obtain stronger power.

 Because, only when you become stronger can you live a better life!

The number in front of him returned to zero and turned into a line of flowing black fonts.

  【The trial is about to begin. 】

  【Welcome to the abyss. 】

 The dark crack opened silently, and Jiang Chen suddenly fell.

 …

 【Current location: Ruins of Mutation】

  【Level: zero】

  【Difficulty: Trial】

　　【Mission: Survive for twenty-four hours. 】

[Description: In the year 3399 of the Creation Calendar, a meteorite fell into the city.

In just thirty minutes, the biochemical virus it carried spread completely. More than 90% of the citizens turned into mutated monsters, and order completely collapsed.

 Forty minutes, the Empire uses weapons of mass destruction to wipe the city off the map.

 However, the virus has spread to the outside world and has rapidly spread throughout the world.

 Three days later, civilization died, everything returned to ruins, and the planet became a breeding ground for mutated creatures. 】

  【Warm reminder: This Shadow of the Old Days is a basic trial, and no items are allowed to be brought in except the Zero Mecha. 】

 In the concrete ruins where green plants and purple slime are mixed, humanoid monsters with silver metal embedded in their flesh are wandering among the roads.

Suddenly, a dark crack opened above a thousand-meter-high building that was entangled by giant vines and towering into the clouds.

 A warrior wearing a silver-black exoskeleton fell from the crack and hit the center of the apron at the top of the tall building.
