Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 22: The Mechanical Race’s Big Move, Orange Glory Quality Component

In a past life, there was an ancient Huaxia saying that went, “If you do not want anyone to know, do not do it.”

Even though the Shattered Starry Sea was vast, he might manage to keep his actions secret once or twice, but if he wanted to rise to prominence, he would heavily depend on the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, requiring it to open hundreds or thousands of times, wouldn’t he?

If he broke the rules today out of greed, tarnishing the reputation of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, the resulting uncontrollable consequences in the future would far exceed the gains of his strong-arm tactics today by a thousandfold, even a millionfold.

As someone who had lived two lifetimes, Song Chi would certainly not make such a low-level mistake.

More than twenty fully armed members of the Mechanical Race arrived at Song Chi’s stall without any delay, and the one at the front immediately brought out a relic that also emitted a purple glow.

This was a peculiar object shaped like an eyeball, emitting intense purple light despite its grey-green hue. The eyeball was filled with numerous tiny pupils stacked densely together, making one’s scalp tingle.

Overlooking its exterior quality, Song Chi looked up and quickly learned the attributes of the object.

[Strange Object: Multi-eyed Tribe Origin Eyeball]

[Quality: Purple]

[Evolvable: 1(Soul-Extinguishing Pupil Light Cannon), 2(Mid-Range Soul Wave Detection Radar)]

[Remark: A fine purple relic among others, with a very powerful energy contained within the eyeball.]

After checking the attributes, Song Chi’s expression remained calm, and without hesitation, he firmly shook his head.

This time, it wasn’t just superficial judgement—truly, there was no trace of interest in his heart.

The component converted from the Level 1 Floating Land Origin Core Fusion was also purple in quality, and its attributes were in no way inferior to this Multi-eyed Tribe eyeball that could evolve into either a shipborne main cannon or an aerial radar.

If the Mechanical Race’s offer was merely this strange object, then what was the point of the trade? Just to switch a purple engine for a shipborne main cannon or aerial radar? Ridiculous.

Seemingly not surprised by Song Chi’s reaction, the Mechanical Race member took back the Multi-eyed Tribe eyeball relic after being rejected and then took out another item from an extremely delicate portable mechanical box in his hand.

It was also a peculiar object, but this one emitted a dazzling orange light.

Upon seeing the eye-catching orange glow, a strong surge of excitement flashed through the depths of Song Chi’s heart.

Orange Quality Strange Objects in the Shattered Starry Sea are rare and bestowed with the suffix “Glory”. Now, an Orange Glory Quality Strange Object had appeared right before his eyes—how could he not be excited?

[Strange Object: High-Level Dark Matter Energy Crystal]

[Quality: Orange]

[Evolvable: (Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator)]

[Remark: Among the rarest of the rare, an Orange Oddity formed from extremely pure Dark Matter Energy after tens of thousands of years, of astonishing value.]

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Song Chi tried to keep his demeanor unchanged while he was already determined internally; that Orange Glory Quality component capable of evolving into a shipborne energy shield must become his.

“Not enough!”

These rapid surges of emotions took place in a blink of an eye, but the next words from Song Chi received a response that infuriated all the Mechanical Race members present.

The red light flickered, and the leader of the Mechanical Race spoke again.

“Even an Orange Glory Quality Object is not sufficient, human, can I take it that you have no real intention of making an equivalent trade?”

To this, Song Chi did not reply, his face displaying an air of indifference.

And the reason for his strong confidence lay in something he was relying on.

A Level 1 Floating Land Origin Core Fusion Body, on the surface it indeed appeared to be a mere Purple Quality Oddity, but this was only in relation to carbon-based life forms. For silicon-based life forms like the Mechanical Race, an Energy Core was akin to their heart.

An object capable of providing infinite energy supply, with an output power that far exceeded other energy cores, was definitely something that could drive every member of the Mechanical Race mad with desire.

Therefore, to every member of the Mechanical Race, the value of what was seen as a Purple Quality Floating Land Origin Core Fusion Body by carbon-based life forms might even surpass that of an Orange Quality Oddity.

Song Chi’s attitude caused the eyes of the more than twenty Mechanical Race members to blaze red, giving off a sense of restlessness.

Seeing this, Song Chi adopted a vigilant posture while his mind turned a thought. In the next second, the sky above the Ruins Market changed dramatically, and a hundred-meter diameter phantom pupil materialized rapidly. At the same time, the more than twenty Mechanical Race members suddenly felt an extremely cold gaze locking them from above, covering them completely with an intense aura of death.

For a moment, nearly a thousand members of various Alien Races within the Ruins Market were terrified. Although the massive pupil in the Vault of Heaven wasn’t targeting them, it still caused all creatures to break out in cold sweat, many Alien Races feeling thankful that they had chosen not to cause any trouble earlier.

It was only after the more than twenty Mechanical Race members discarded the idea of taking action that calm was restored in the Ruins Market once more.

The leader of the Mechanical Race once again left the market, unable to make a decision about Song Chi’s asking price.

Before long, it reappeared, this time with a mechanical suitcase in hand.

On reaching Song Chi, it opened the brand-new suitcase in front of him, and immediately a strong purple light illuminated half of the stall area.

Looking at all six Purple Oddities inside the suitcase, the various Alien Races around them flashed different expressions in their eyes. However, remembering the giant eye that had only recently disappeared, a chill fell over them, and any unusual thoughts that had just arisen were quickly extinguished.

“Apart from that piece of high-level Dark Matter Energy Crystal, you may also choose one from these six Purple Oddities. If you still do not accept, then this transaction will be terminated here,” the leader stated.

Song Chi understood that this must be the highest price the backer of this group of the Mechanical Race was willing to accept. If he continued to haggle, the other party might really just walk away.

With this in mind, he did not continue to raise the price but instead carefully examined the six Purple Quality Oddities in the suitcase before him.

Since there was no longer any possibility of further negotiation, he naturally wanted to choose the most valuable and suitable one for himself out of these six Purple Oddities.

Out of the six oddities, aside from the Multi-eyed Tribe’s eyeball seen earlier, two of them could not be converted into components for the Torch Warship and were thus initially excluded by Song Chi. The remaining three were:

[Energy Gathering Stone]

[Eternal Star Core’s Fire]

[Snook Star Warship Cannon]

These three oddities could be converted into a thruster and shipborne secondary cannons, both of which were highly valuable components for a warship. The Eternal Star Core’s Fire was an exceedingly rare object that could enhance the quality of the Seed of Torch.
