The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 397 - 174: Regional Cleanup, Land of Nightmares

Hearing Candle Kite’s explanation, Qin Jin nodded slightly.

Because of the existence of Gaia Planet, he had a certain understanding of information related to life planets. When the Federation discovers a new life planet, it proceeds with the initial clearing before ranking the life planet, ultimately naming it and listing it in the relevant catalog.

Generally speaking, the rank of a life planet is determined when it is first discovered and will not change.

Life planets are divided into ten levels. So far, with the Federation’s capabilities, life planets below Level 6 can be optimized and adjusted to raise their level, but this approach involves the issue of investment versus return. Most life planets are not worth investing excessive resources to raise their rank.

After all, changing the natural order of the Star Sea requires a significant effort. The Starfire Federation, despite its vastness, must make trade-offs.

This is also what makes Gaia Planet precious—a planet destined to reach Level 10, with immeasurable value.

The Xingzhou Ship entered the planet, and during its descent, sandstorms filled the skies outside the porthole. Looking downward, naturally formed tornadoes raged on the ground, and the environment appeared quite ordinary.

For most life planets discovered at first, where the Federation has not yet adjusted and rectified the environment, this scene is actually quite typical.

Amidst the sandstorms, a faint blue fluorescence appeared to flicker on the ground—it was a super-large defensive light screen.

There...

was precisely one of the pioneering bases initially established on this numbered life planet.

The starship passed through the defensive light screen and entered the base. Qin Jin stood by the porthole, looking down. The exploration base covered an extensive area, with various facilities erected within, and the largest area was the starship docking zone.

At this moment, the docking zone itself resembled a super-large camp, with starships of various colors landing, and people bustling about, all coming to undertake clearing missions.

Such pioneer missions could attract participants from various star systems, with a large number of participants.

Of course, obtaining permission for the mission itself also meant passing the Federation’s [Evaluation].

Amid the roaring sound, the starship landed.

Located in the cockpit, Qin Jin raised his personal terminal, initiating a transfer as a part of Candle Kite entered it, and only the basic alert functionality remained on the starship.

"A completely unknown new planet."

With expectation flashing in his eyes, Qin Jin strode across. As the hatch opened, the alternating sounds of the outside world entered his ears, creating a scene of noise.

"Except the facilities here are far more advanced, it somewhat resembles my undeveloped hometown, almost like a survival area."

On the way here, Candle Kite had already confirmed all information, and Qin Jin had a clear mind. Standing on the gangway, after confirming a direction, he headed directly to one end of the base.

Around him, various streams of people crossed, all being Martial Arts Family members, some bearing weapons, others with serious expressions.

Martial Arts has always been the extraordinary mainstay of the Federation.

There were also some figures who had undergone technological modifications.

Outside the docking zone.

There were also many small groups of people, pausing to watch the Martial Arts Family members leaving the Starship Camp and occasionally stepping forward for communication.

Qin Jin walked straight ahead.

After he walked a few dozen meters.

A call sounded not far from his side.

"Young brother."

With Qin Jin’s perception ability, he immediately recognized the voice was calling him. He slightly raised an eyebrow and turned his head.

In his line of sight was a six-member team, four men and two women. As Qin Jin turned his head, one of the women approached, who was the one calling.

Her face was plain, without makeup, her skin somewhat rough, short hair. As she got closer, a kind smile appeared on her face: "Young brother, my name is Qin Jiajia."

"Are you also here to participate in the planet clearing mission? Do you have your own team, or do you want to join us?"

Her voice continued as she reached out with a hand gesture towards those behind her: "Although our team hasn’t been formed for long, we have good strength. All are Martial Arts Family members who have undergone multiple transformations in the Innate Realm."

"That one is our Captain."

She pointed to one of the men: "Our Captain is already a Grandmaster and is breaking through to a Higher Realm. Choosing us would not be a mistake."

Upon hearing this.

Qin Jin maintained a calm expression and shook his head: "I’m not ready to join a team yet."

Qin Jiajia was slightly confused, but then seemed to realize something, looking enlightened, she quickly asked, "What should I call you?"

"Qin Jin."

"We are from the same family after all."

Qin Jiajia’s eyes lit up as she pronounced the name: "Qin Jin, you should have just arrived here and aren’t aware yet, are you?"

"A life planet has a vast area, with many planet clearing tasks. According to the regulations of the pioneering base, in order to accept high-specification tasks, it is necessary to pass a relevant evaluation, have a level, and then participate."

"This is responsible for the mission and also for us participants."

"By joining a team, you can participate in the assessment as a team, which would be much simpler, and then you can take on better-returning tasks afterward."

"Take a look at these recruiters around who are all temporarily formed teams, everyone cooperates with each other."

"Do you want to reconsider?"

"No need."

Responding, Qin Jin turned and left.

Watching his back, Qin Jiajia shook her head, showing a hint of disappointment on her face.

Behind her.

Several other members of the team approached.

The man whom she called Captain spoke up, his voice quite gruff: "Couldn’t reach an agreement with him?"
