Global Era of Star trekking

The final two pieces of zircon, to be honest, as one of the few special resources potentially needed for the First Rank Torch Warship to be promoted to Second Rank, this thing has the lowest value. However, it is precisely Song Chi’s current urgent need.

He estimated that the Cang Qiong would likely initiate the promotion mission within the next two or three months, so gathering all the resources needed for the promotion as soon as possible was one of his most important tasks at the moment.

While conflicted, Song Chi knew he couldn’t delay for too long, with so many alien species watching him.

With gritted teeth, he finally made a decision.

With a slight wave of his hand, the normal purple Fire Source UpRank, the Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence, the 100 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, and the two pieces of zircon, almost simultaneously floated up into the sky.

Yes, his decision was to take them all.

Since he was conflicted, he might as well take everything. For this, he even brought out the Ruins Market Guest Token he had originally reserved for himself.

As for the issue of disguising himself later, once the Ruins Market transactions were over, the market level should be able to go from LV16 to LV17, and then he could replace it with the newly condensed Ruins Market Guest Token.

Having made his decision, what followed was a specific assessment of the number of uses of the Ruins Market Guest Token for each of these four items.

The rightful owner of the purple Fire Source UpRank didn’t need to be mentioned, as he had exchanged it in the Strange Object shop for a "Dragon Claw of the Earth," and the Ruins Market Guest Token could only be used once.

For the Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence, Song Chi gave four uses of the Ruins Market Guest Token.

The 100 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin token had three uses.

And the token for the two pieces of zircon had two uses.

Upon hearing his offer, the four owners of these strange items did not object. With that, this somewhat unconventional auction had successfully concluded.

The alien species that didn’t obtain a Ruins Market Guest Token all felt a great disappointment. Although the distributed Ruins Market Guest Tokens all had a limited number of uses, they understood one thing.

Regardless of the number of uses, only those who secured the Ruins Market Guest Tokens had the possibility to engage in other operations afterward, whereas they, once the Ruins Market transactions ended, would find it difficult to enter this Ruins Market Secret Realm again in their lifetimes.

Song Chi saw all this happen, but he didn’t care. The number of Ruins Market Guest Tokens was limited, and they went to the highest bidder; there was nothing much to discuss.

After securing all his items, as time continued to fly by, and just before the end of the Ruins Market transactions, Song Chi found Zhou Ping, who was packing up his stall, and the half-centaur at the peak of First Rank.

His goal was straightforward: he wanted to inquire if they were interested in renting a shop to exclusively sell the unique resources backing them.

Of course, it wasn’t free... They would need to pay a monthly rental fee of 50 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin.

This rental fee was carefully considered by Song Chi – it was not too painful for either party and their backers to bear, and it was also a considerable income for him, just right.

As for the confidence with which he asked this question, it was obviously because compared to setting up a stall, a shop in the Ruins Market would attract more customers and transactions. This could be seen from the current "Floating Land Origin exchange shop."

When faced with the rule text floating in front of them regarding the rental issue, both Zhou Ping and the half-centaur gave the same reply.

They would have to discuss with their elders and provide an answer at the beginning of the next trade period.

This response was expected by Song Chi; otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited until the Ruins Market was nearly closed to inquire with them.

...

After the Ruins Market transactions concluded, and once all the creatures had left, Song Chi immediately began to tally all his gains from the trade.

First of all, was naturally the normal purple Fire Source UpRank, the Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence, the 100 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, and the two soccer-ball-sized pieces of zircon.

Then there was the strand of Orange Quality Red Origin Heavenly Fire.

Next were the 50 titanium crystals, 1,000 bottles of Body Tempering Liquid, and 100 boxes of Body Tempering Paste brought by Zhou Ping.

Finally, there was the Floating Land Origin, Life Core, and the difference in resources.

Due to the exchange shop for Floating Land Origin, the amount of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin he had obtained this time was considerable, a total of 180 strands, and nearly 3000 strands of First-Rank Floating Land Origin.

The amount of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin was lesser this time, since there were fewer alien races and consequently lower income from transaction taxes, coupled with the exchange for thousands of strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin, leading to a total of just under 20,000 strands.

Nevertheless, the stockpile of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin that he now possessed still exceeded 250,000 strands, which was no small sum.

After tallying his profits, Song Chi couldn’t wait to exit the Ruins Market.

With a strand of ordinary Purple Fire Source UpRank and the "Brox Ultra Base Main Cannon" in hand, he would be able to exchange them at the Family Merit Hall for the "Obsidian Ship Armor." This was the reason for his rush.

Considering that the Immortal Puppet Secret Realm was soon to end in the next few days, if he could make up for the shortfall in the warship armor before that, he would be more confident in achieving a good result in the subsequent challenges at the Immortal Puppet Tower.

Before heading to the Family Merit Hall, Song Chi visited his grandparents’ courtyard once again.

"Grandpa has gone on a mission?"

Upon hearing his grandmother’s words, Song Chi raised his eyebrows, then quickly returned to normal. After all, he had already heard about it before. It was not entirely unexpected.

With that in mind, he took out the Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence as well as the ordinary strand of Purple Fire Source UpRank.

The Purple Fire Source UpRank was traded with the "Earth Dragon Claw" previously provided by his grandfather. Although he had also added a chance to use the Ruins Market Guest Token, it was normally something that had to be offered to the family.

"Grandma, this Purple Fire Source UpRank was obtained by trading Grandpa’s ’Earth Dragon Claw’ at this Ruins Market. The Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence was a lucky find by your grandson. With the Sky Zither’s imminent ascent to Third Rank, I offer this item to wish you success in your advancement," he said.

"Oh my dear grandchild..."

Bai Xiuqin’s face lit up with a smile as she gently pinched Song Chi’s cheek. Having been a great help to the family in the past six months, her fondness for Song Chi grew more and more. She took delight in everything about him.

After carefully storing the two items, she handed Song Chi the Quantum Communication Bracelet and transferred him 6 points of Golden Merit. Then, she turned and tossed him a piece of Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence.

Just as Song Chi was about to say something, Bai Xiuqin spoke first:

"Alright, this piece of Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence was left for you by your grandpa. He calculated that the Cang Qiong should be nearing its advancement, so take it. Your elder brother still needs to refine it for another year and a half."

"Thank you, Grandma, and thank you, Grandpa!" said Song Chi.

Since it was a token of affection from his grandparents, Song Chi did not refuse further, and indeed, he was in need of the Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

A few minutes later, the Cang Qiong soared into the sky from above Green Moon Manor and headed towards Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain.

Inside the Cang Qiong, Song Chi focused on the four items before him.

Primary Energy Crystal, 2300-year-old Mo Moon Tree Sap, Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence, Zircon.

The first two could increase the success rate of the Torch Warship’s advancement from First to Second Rank while the last two were two of several special resources needed for the advancement.

"Once I collect the Sea Spirit Crystal and Moonrock Stone materials, I can begin the Cang Qiong’s advancement mission," he murmured.

Muttering to himself, Song Chi clenched his fist. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint sense of excitement surged in his heart.

The Ten Thousand Years Volcanic Magma Iron Essence, Zircon, Sea Spirit Crystal, and Moonrock Stone are precisely all the special materials that may be needed when a Spectral Airship is upgraded to a Guardian Class Spectral Spaceship.
