The fat man salvaged the pessimistic mood of the new lord, but the battle between the mechs and the Skeleton King did not improve. Several mechs were being ground to the ground, and two of them had completely lost their combat capability and could only lie on a large meteorite waiting for rescue.
Although the terror of life and death can often unleash greater power in people, most of them die and only a few survive.
Ye Chen didn't force it. If once wasn't enough, he'd try twice, and if twice wasn't enough, he'd try three times. As long as he kept fighting, he would eventually unleash his full potential.
In any case, given the mech's strength, as long as it's not constantly being targeted, it would take a seventh-tier demigod quite a while to dismantle it and kill the pilot inside, giving him enough time to rescue the person.
A large number of phoenixes were dispatched to bring back the pilots from the two mechs, while the remaining mechs continued to fight the Skeleton King.
"Tsk! Money! All of this is money!" the fat man murmured painfully, looking at the two dilapidated mechs that had been taken back to his territory.
The cost of a Tier 7 mech is extremely high, as it uses a lot of Tier 7 materials. It is no exaggeration to describe it as astronomical. Even just repairing it requires resources that far exceed the cost of a Tier 6 mech. How could the fat man not feel the pain?
"Let's pray that one of the remaining people can unleash their power!" Ye Chen said helplessly, "We were lucky to encounter a Skeleton King who had just entered the seventh rank. If they were stronger, even if they really unleashed their seventh-rank combat power, they probably wouldn't be a match for them. The upper limit of the mech's power is still a bit low!"
"What can we do? We don't have the materials! Even if we had the technology, where would we get so many materials?" the fat man replied irritably, feeling both heartbroken and helpless.
Tier 7 materials are scarce, and almost every mech uses slightly different materials. After all, it is difficult to find the same Tier 7 materials, so they can only piece them together. Now, they want to create even stronger mechs. Isn't this just making things difficult for people?
"It will happen!" Ye Chen said after thinking for a moment. At the same time, he opened the exchange list in the inheritance stone tablet and sent some of the materials to the fat man, which immediately made the fat man's eyes widen.
"What? The resources in the Demon Flame Plane are so abundant?" The fat man looked at the list of materials Ye Chen sent and quickly opened his exchange list. Sure enough, some rare seventh-tier resources in the Maya Plane could be directly exchanged here, as long as you had enough merit points.
“Different planes have different exchange lists. The Demon Flame Plane is obviously a plane that produces a lot of demon flames and ores. Therefore, some rare ores in other planes are more common here. Even seventh-tier ores can be exchanged, as long as you have enough merit points!” Ye Chen replied, pointing to a piece of green ore.
"This is magic energy ore, a specialty of the Demon Flame Plane. It is made by calcining special magma from the Demon Flame Plane. Depending on the smelting time, the grade ranges from level 1 to level 8. A sixth-tier lord can barely exchange for level 7 magic energy ore. It costs 100,000 merit points per gram!" Ye Chen said slowly.
Upon hearing his words, the fat man felt his scalp tingle. This price was something that ordinary people couldn't afford. One kilogram equals one thousand grams, which meant that it would take one hundred million merit points to exchange for one kilogram.
How much does it take to build a Tier 7 mech? A mech tens of meters tall, even if you only use magic energy ore as auxiliary material, it must weigh tens or hundreds of kilograms, right? That's hundreds of billions of merit points.
If one wanted to build a Tier 7 mech using only magic crystal ore, the price would be unimaginable.
"Damn it, make money, make money! If I had money, I'd even build you an eighth-tier mech!" The fat man angrily closed the exchange list. He had thought that Duobao Group was rich enough, but he felt poor again. These things were really not even worth looking at!
Ye Chen smiled, not taking his cynical words to heart. However, making money was still very necessary. When they came out of the Blue Star plane, Si Meng transferred 300 billion merit points to them directly. Looking at the items in the exchange list now, it might not be enough.
Magic Energy Ore is just the most common ore produced in the Demon Flame Plane, and its exchange price is also the cheapest. In the list of seventh-tier ores, there are many rare ores, whose prices are several times higher, but you can imagine that their effects will definitely be better. Merit points will never be enough.
"Kill!" As the two spoke, Alec's roar came through the communicator. The battered mech charged toward the Skeleton King once again, but this time, it caught Ye Chen and Fatty's attention.
"It's unleashing the power of a seventh-tier warrior!" the fat man exclaimed excitedly. Compared to its previous slow attacks, this time the mech truly displayed the speed befitting a seventh-tier demigod.
The power unit in the mecha is controlled by the operator's consciousness. To unleash the performance of the seventh tier, the user must have a strong enough willpower. Otherwise, the mecha will collapse the moment the speed is increased due to the tearing sensation in the body.
Therefore, the combination of physical fitness and mental will is the key to enabling the mecha to unleash its seventh-tier combat power. However, among all the pilots, very few can simultaneously elevate both to their peak, especially willpower, which almost everyone is stuck at. Only Alec can occasionally demonstrate it.
"Well done!" Ye Chen praised, watching the battle in the starry sky. Finally, there was something worth watching.
Alec's speed increased dramatically, which also led to a surge in his attack power. The energy lightsaber he used before had now been replaced with a solid greatsword, which he swiftly slashed at the Skeleton King, propelled by the high speed of the mech.
"Bang!" The scene of bone fragments flying everywhere appeared again, but this time, although the Skeleton King blocked Alec's attack, his entire body was pushed backward by the huge force until he crashed into an abandoned meteorite and stopped.
"Hehe! This is a greatsword made of a special alloy, mixed with a lot of seventh-tier materials. Its cost is even comparable to that of a mecha. However, it can only be used when it can unleash the combat power of the seventh tier. Otherwise, it is not as good as an energy lightsaber!" the fat man chuckled. The greatsword was obviously much more powerful than an energy lightsaber.
Energy lightsabers rely on their internal energy activation device, and their power remains constant. Cold weapons like greatswords are different; the amount of power they can unleash depends on the skill of the user.
