The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 265: Chapter 143: Secret Collection – Thunder Dragon (Part 2)

During the first exploration search, most contestants were in the adaptation stage and evidently wouldn’t try to push the limit time.

At the last three seconds.

Qin Jin no longer waited and stepped into the teleportation gate.

Ripples flowed, as Qin Jin entered, the teleportation gate closed, falling back into silence.

Due to the presence of the [Charging Stage], the limit time for the fixed evacuation point is set five minutes earlier than the search time.

Throughout the civilization relics, as time passed, the three-hour countdown ended, mist arose again covering the area.

…

The surroundings changed.

Qin Jin appeared in the courtyard.

As he appeared, a light screen formed in front, displaying information above.

[Qin Jin student, do you need healing service?]

[Note: Healing requires spending points, costs vary based on injuries]

[Note: For those with zero points, advance deduction is possible]

[Note: If points are negative beyond 200, direct elimination from the team competition]

Qin Jin raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Turns out healing awaited here.”

“This undoubtedly adds to the cost of [defeat].”

“Your victory and my defeat, once again widen the gap between us.”

“However, this is what’s competitive, stronger folks should naturally occupy more advantages.”

A thought flashed, Qin Jin thought more: “If this continues, as the searches increase, with means of communication within the same camp, perhaps scenes of group hunting others will emerge.”

“Improving oneself is better than weakening others.”

He took out space equipment, operated, scanned the items he gathered with a watch.

As expected, ordinary tools, materials, food, etc., simply don’t appear on the points list.

The old light saber, exchanged for 20 points.

The diary after scanning had no results, with a watch prompt, required parsing into information content for assessment and points allocation.

The black box he obtained, the core component of a mechanical body, valued at 230 points.

After examining his gains, he started to check the last intercepted gains from others.

Some people collected a pile of trash directly, while some items had small value, the most stable points-output items instead were space equipment.

According to the watch’s points assessment, space equipment pricing was within tens of points range, floating slightly due to the physical size differences.

In reality, space equipment’s value evidently exceeds this, but within the civilization relics, appearing so much space equipment, undoubtedly like food, belongs to special assistance from the organizers, thus points having limitations.

After picking up another space equipment, Qin Jin took out items from it, dropping them into the courtyard, his gaze swept, abruptly fixed.

It was a predominantly white special device less than half a person’s height.

Watch scanning, information emerged.

[Basic Therapeutic Device]

[Points]: 510.

Healing apparatus!

Qin Jin recalled momentarily, this space equipment probably belonged to a contestant who tried to enter the teleportation gate during the final interception.

“No wonder, focused entirely on retreat.”

“Turns out to be a big catch.”

Thoughts flashed in Qin Jin’s mind.

Although he himself couldn’t use it, given the premise that healing costs extra points, such healing equipment’s value exceeded the actual rating significantly.

Pushing ten thousand steps back, although points can’t be traded, if strong enough, one could leverage this therapeutic device to be a [Battlefield Doctor], charging for healing others during exploration phase, exchanging for other items.

Of course…

This also counts as putting the cart before the horse.

After scanning all items, Qin Jin finally looked at the watch.

[Current accumulated points]: 1640

“Without real-time ranking, no telling how this performance compares.”

“But, initial search area was too barren, couldn’t widen the gap, wondering if the next exploration area will delve deeper.”

Thoughts flowed in his mind, Qin Jin’s gaze fixed on the therapeutic device and the diary.

“Next exploration can bring them in.”

“Items rated after bringing out from the relics will not be recovered, this represents direct use possible, the therapeutic device isn’t useful for myself but if encountering a situation like today’s Chi Wenwu, can assist them.”

“Diary book carried, with parsing methods available, parse at first instance.”

A thought flashed.

Qin Jin thought more.

His sight rested on the therapeutic device: “The same item should be scanned for points only once, a limit-breaking cup at such level of competition couldn’t possibly have obvious scoring loopholes.”

“However, items like therapeutic devices have inherently impressive value, losing them amounts to substantial loss.”

Qin Jin’s gaze shifted, looking at the nearby still frozen mechanical core.

“If Divine Strategy Academy’s person saw it, might be remodeled into a mech’s core component.”

The folks from Divine Strategy Academy opened Qin Jin’s thinking.

Using his profession as a mecha master and this period’s studies, under ample material conditions, he could accomplish the same target, crafting a temporarily controllable mech.

But…

It doesn’t mean much to him.

Each possesses their area of expertise, for Qin Jin, within this Limit-Breaking Cup, he has absolute confidence in his strength and still has many unused aces.

If so, rather continue cultivation.

If during the late team competition, indeed encountering similar situations…

Either shatter the opponent’s mech.

Or, seize the opponent’s mech!

A thought flashed, Qin Jin returned to the resting chamber, sitting cross-legged on the bed, silently breathing, cultivating.
