Chapter 56: Purple Component [Brainwave Remote Control System]
As for the reactions of the various alien races, Song Chi paid no attention, his gaze fixed on the object in the one-armed alien’s hand from beginning to end.
Soon, he obtained the attributes of this purple Starry Sea oddity.
[Strange Object: Brain-Eating Race Super Wave Main Brain]
[Quality: Purple]
[Evolutionary Feature: {Brainwave Remote Control System}]
[Remark: A high-rank Stellar Sea creature’s brain, after a long period of evolution, finally transformed into this purple relic. Its function is somewhat special.]
After reading these attributes, Song Chi was still not quite satisfied, he needed to see the transformed attributes of this strange object as a warship component before he could understand its specific effects and whether it was suitable for him or not.
Of course, regardless, he was undoubtedly going to attempt to acquire this purple-level oddity.
Even if it was not suitable for him, he could later list it for sale on the Torch Network. A purple-level warship component would surely attract the interest of many Torch ship captains.
After organizing his words, Song Chi tentatively spoke:
“Vendor, I need to examine it by hand to determine if this oddity is suitable for myself. Would that be possible?”

The one-armed alien looked wary, having entered the Ruins Market not long ago. Although it had seen the various rules and regulations at the entrance of the market, it had never personally witnessed what happened to those alien species that did not follow the trading rules. Being cautious was its instinct.
At this moment, the surrounding alien races actually did it a great favor. Some of them said:
“Don’t be nervous, if you are worried about this Merfolk making a move, you can request the will of the Ruins Market space’s laws as a witness. Under the Law’s will, no one dares to harbor ill intentions.”
Hearing this, the one-armed alien tentatively summoned the so-called “Law’s Will” of the Ruins Market space.
Seeing this, Song Chi remained calm, while his thoughts subtly shifted, drawing upon the Secret Realm Laws of the Ruins Market space, to materialize an ethereal golden dragon above the trading booth.
Instantly, a vast and mighty aura of laws enveloped the entire Ruins Market space.
Seeing this, the one-armed alien finally let go of its concerns.
This profound and abyssal presence allowed it to completely relax its caution, for if there truly was a being within the trading space capable of wielding such mighty power, there was no need to trick it using such means. The other party could easily take away the purple relic in its hand if they wished to.
Seeing that the other party had agreed, Song Chi reached out and took the oddity. Under the watchful eyes of the various alien races, he carefully shielded it with his cloak’s hood.
He used the power of the Ruins Market laws to disguise himself as a member of the Merfolk, and naturally, he could not expose his Ancestral Torch, Spectral Energy, and other attributes. The Starry Sea was vast, but it was always better to be safe than sorry, so each time he conducted a transaction in the Ruins Market, he concealed his identity.
Assuring that no onlooker could see under the hood of his cloak, he then gently moved the object to his forehead, and thereafter, he channeled the Seed of Torch from within his Ancestral Aperture. Soon, strands of dark energy surged from the Ancestral Torch, swirling around the purple relic.
With the help of the Seed of Torch, Song Chi quickly obtained the detailed attributes of the strange object as it transformed into a warship component.

After reviewing the attributes, Song Chi handed the strange object back to the one-armed alien without any expression. Although there was no visible change on the surface, his heart was already alight with excitement.
From the details provided on the attribute panel, it was clear that this was a special kind of warship component with a unique function: once activated, it could be used for remote control.
And this effect, in Song Chi’s view, was tremendously valuable.
Firstly, it could be applied to the Fire Peony Soldier Figurines. The biggest disadvantage of all soldier figurine components was their inability to stray too far from the Torch Ship Captain; after all, they were puppets without their own consciousness, passively following the captain’s commands.
Once separated from their Torch Ship Captain by a significant distance, they would lose their ability to move, and this limitation had a massive impact in many situations.
For instance, when exploring unknown areas, since they couldn’t venture too far from the Torch Ship Captain, a sudden crisis would also affect the Torch Ship Captain at the rear.
It also made it impossible for them to complete some special tasks on their own.
However, with this Brainwave Remote Control System, it would only be necessary to imprint a brainwave beacon on the soldier figurines in advance, allowing for real-time control from anywhere, rendering the previous restrictions irrelevant.
Besides, imprinting the brainwave beacon on oneself would also make remote controlling the flagship possible — this energy supply seems somewhat suitable for creating alibis.
Additionally, Song Chi actually had another idea. He was curious to see whether this Brainwave Remote Control System would work with Zhu Tian Ruins Market by leaving a Fire Peony Soldier Figurine outside to sense external situations in real-time before each visit to the market.
If it proved possible, then his future use of Zhu Tian Ruins Market to avoid various dangers would become much more feasible. Previously, when he entered the Ruins Market, he was completely clueless about the outside world, which made it difficult for him to gauge the optimal time to leave the market.
Leaving too early might mean the danger had not yet fully passed.
But if he waited too long to depart, he feared missing the return time of Cang Qiong. It was highly distressing.
If this “Brainwave Remote Control System” really could achieve this effect, his future entrances and exits into the Ruins Market would become far more convenient.
However, Song Chi didn’t hold much confidence in his heart. Purple Quality relics were indeed rare, but Zhu Tian Ruins Market was situated in the shadow of the Starry Sea within the void gap. He felt it would be difficult for the Brainwave Remote Control System to contact the outside world through the limitless expanse of void space.
Nevertheless, even if the chances were slim in that respect, the mere functionality of the Brainwave Remote Control System itself meant that Song Chi had to acquire this relic.
Perhaps due to the limited selection of goods among the Zero Rank alien race, more than ten minutes had passed without the appearance of an item that satisfied the one-armed alien.
Seeing this, Song Chi also took several items out of the large backpack behind him.
Advanced Exoskeleton Armor, a combat robot with First Rank combat power, and three energy grenades capable of threatening First Rank species.
After bringing out these items, he went on to explain the effect of each of them.
“One set of Advanced Exoskeleton Armor; as long as it is powered by a battery, once worn, it can greatly enhance strength, speed, resistance to impact, and various other attributes. The effect is also quite significant even when facing First Rank species.”
“One First Rank Combat Robot; likewise, just put in a battery and it can engage in a head-on fight with First Rank species.”
“Three Energy Grenades; if you can seize the right moment, they can severely injure a First Rank creature.”
