NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3 Basic Trial: Ruins of Mutation
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 already learned some things about the abyss from the Internet, but it is 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 some armor value.
In other words, with ten points of armor, you can withstand at most 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 was, right?
The survivors couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the buses not far away.
It had been lifted up, but there were still long lacerations on the side of the car.
Mortal body fighting against monsters?
There is only a dead end!
Xie Minglei then continued.
So, what I want to tell you is-
Avoid the fight!
Don't think about what to do in the basic trial, 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's no need to rush it.
Xie Minglei glanced at everyone and saw that they were no longer excited, and nodded slightly.
This new wave of newcomers doesn't seem to be the kind of reckless young people, so the survival rate should be good.
As for the newcomer named Jiang Chen...
Although he was wearing a full-cover mecha helmet and could not see his expression, he was so timid and would 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 Zero Mecha...
In addition, if you are unlucky and encounter an abyss monster attack and your armor value drops too fast, don't panic too much.
When you kill monsters in the abyss, the abyss patterns will absorb the aura of the abyss and grow.
During 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 began to demonstrate a fighting method suitable for mechas, and spoke more of his experience.
As the first person to awaken Yuan Wen, Jiang Chen was also called to the front to train and demonstrate tactics together.
During this process, other survivors also gradually awakened to the Abyss Pattern.
…
Sixty minutes flies by.
When there was only one minute left in the countdown, Xie Minglei stopped teaching.
He asked Jiang Chen to sort out his mood and said seriously.
Being 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 this senior mecha master said.
Living 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, thus creating 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 turn into 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 in any way!
Under the dark 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 numbers 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, an extraterrestrial 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.
In the 40th minute, the Empire used weapons of mass destruction to wipe the city off the map.
However, the virus has spread to the outside world and has quickly 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. No items are allowed to be brought in except 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.
A soldier wearing a silver-black exoskeleton fell from the crack and hit the center of the apron at the top of the tall building.
