Senior Ruan directly logged into Bai Ying’s account remotely.
That was really fast, wasn’t it?
Could it be that there was some sort of world announcement after clearing the abyss?
Well… after all, it’s an increase in the entire civilization’s potential, so it doesn’t seem strange to notify all mecha pilots of the entire civilization.
Jiang Chen’s thoughts raced as he continued.
“I solo-cleared the Hell difficulty level and felt it wasn’t very hard, so I went to check out the Abyss difficulty level…”
“…What? When did you solo-clear Hell?”
“Just a few days ago, didn’t Bai Ying tell you…?”
Ruan Mingyu’s brain nearly ceased functioning.
A week ago, she had helped Jiang Chen with his mecha upgrade, contacted a 6th Rank mecha pilot Lyle, negotiated the trade price, and then went straight to Proxima Centauri for a vacation—
The upgrade and enhancement of high-level mechas are very taxing on one’s energy.
Especially since she not only owns a humanoid-type light mecha like Bai Ying’s, but also a super-large mecha.
To strengthen that mecha, she was completely exhausted.
So, while resting at Proxima Centauri’s ecological base, she completely set aside anything related to being a mecha pilot.
She took a purely leisurely break, a full-fledged vacation.
During this time, she never opened her personal terminal nor logged into the alliance forum, effectively cutting herself off from the world.
After all, what could happen in just a week?
But then…
In this past week…
Jiang Chen not only solo-cleared the Hell difficulty level, accomplishing an historic breakthrough.
But he also forged ahead and cleared the Abyss difficulty level as well?
At this moment, Ruan Mingyu felt an absurd sense of, “I haven’t been online for a week, how has the era changed?”
As for Bai Ying…
According to the new pilot protection rules set by the alliance, Ruan Mingyu had temporarily transferred Bai Ying’s ownership to Jiang Chen.
During this period, no matter what Bai Ying saw or what happened.
Unless Jiang Chen actively requested information, or she judged Jiang Chen to be in a dangerous state.
She wouldn’t relay any information.
Not even to her master.
After all, she was there to protect Jiang Chen, not to monitor him.
Being the most responsible and diligent Bai Ying, she naturally complied perfectly with this rule.
She didn’t tell anyone about Jiang Chen’s clearing of the Hell difficulty level or his challenge of the Abyss difficulty level.
Ruan Mingyu couldn’t quite describe her own feelings at the moment.
Excitement? Shock? Surprise? Bewilderment?
Finally, she spoke.
“Tomorrow’s new star…”
“No need to wait until tomorrow, you’re already the brightest new star right now!”
Ruan Mingyu, as a 7th Rank mecha pilot who once obtained an SS-class rating, naturally knew about Civilization Potential.
She understood what clearing the abyss meant for Planet Blue Star.
Therefore, her feelings were even more profound than those of ordinary people.
Jiang Chen wasn’t being coy either. He smiled shyly and brought up another matter.
“Senior Ruan, you didn’t even know about my solo-clearing Hell,”
“So how did you find out I’ve cleared the abyss?”
The one who answered Jiang Chen wasn’t Ruan Mingyu.
It was a voice that came from the sky.
“It’s simple.”
“A few minutes ago, all the mecha pilots on Blue Star, no matter where they were, had the Abyss Rune automatically triggered and a message appeared—”
“1st Rank mecha pilot Jiang Chen successfully crossed the abyss, ending the calamity.”
“Civilization Potential increased.”
Jiang Chen and Ruan Mingyu looked up.
A pure silver streamlined mecha fell silently from the sky, landing noiselessly beside them.
The metallic exterior shell flowed and converged like liquid.
In the end, it all poured into the undershirt on the chest.
Li Xiao appeared with an apologetic expression.
“Sorry, it’s a matter of great importance; many people want to see you. I am a bit late due to dealing with the message.”
“Moreover, I think they should meet you too…”
“Once things are over, I will help you construct a new base,”
The significance of clearing the Abyss difficulty level went far beyond just being a challenge.
As a top genius who cleared the Abyss difficulty level, he naturally attracted the attention and curiosity of all the top mecha pilots.
Jiang Chen had communicated with Li Xiao and understood the importance of the event, so he wasn’t unhappy about it.
Instead, he took the opportunity to ask.
“Is a Star Base okay?”
“Of course, it is.”
Li Xiao answered promptly.
As the two conversed, streaks of trails cut through the sky.
Alloy, magic energy, nanotech, elemental…
Mechas of various sizes flew past, landing in and around the courtyard.
Mechas unlocked automatically and mecha pilots stepped out.
The second in command of the alliance, SSS-class 8th Rank mecha pilot…
The Ark Organization’s leader, SSS-class 8th Rank mecha pilot…
The Deep Thought Faction’s leader, SS-class 8th Rank mecha pilot…
One after another, the 8th Rank heavyweights arrived at this tiny island courtyard, their gazes fixated on Jiang Chen with burning intensity.
Ruan Mingyu, as a little rookie of the 7th Rank, squeezed among the heavyweights, suddenly felt a bit shaky and struggled to breathe.
Perhaps…
She should log off and lay low for a while, then come back later?
