Chapter 905: Chapter 473: “Stove Stone Return Device” and “Warship Swapping Device”_2

Compared to others, the “Cross-star conversion” feature is far more powerful. It allows for instantaneous transfer across the Starry Sea regardless of the distance, and even if the bound warship encounters life-and-death crisis in the Alien Star Domain, this feature can be activated.

The only downside might be the lengthy cooldown time of 50 years. Even with the aid of “Zen Seal: Inner Speed” and [Time Chess], the cooldown time still amounts to six and a half years.

However, Song Chi felt it was not too bad. He planned to bind this component to the flagships of his father, mother, and Song Ting, eliminating worries about the restrictions of [Chapter of Shadow Descension].

As for Shen Youran, there was no need to worry since she had the “Yin Yang Projection” feature of [Concentric Medallion] and a [Ruins Market Projection Rank].

After installing the [Warship Swapping Device] on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, Song Chi immediately enhanced it to lv60.

Upon enhancing it to lv60, the “Cross-star conversion” feature could simultaneously bind to four warships. Besides his parents and Song Ting, he could consider his grandparents for future binding, especially when they went on dangerous missions.

…

After dealing with everything, Song Chi let Lv Xuewu go and told him to return to the Lv Family according to the previous plan, while he himself headed back to Dragon Spine City.

His interventions had a significant impact. In the following years, the prosperity of the Song Family’s Dragon Spine City did not decline in the slightest, but instead, it flourished even more.

This prosperity stemmed from the video of Song Chi’s actions against White Frost Castle spreading far and wide, attracting Torch Ship Captains. Coupled with the cost-effectiveness of the Song Family’s shops, they left a good reputation among these captains, which over time boosted the renown of the Dragon Spine Shops.

Compared to these individual Torch Ship Captains, the different forces’ bases in the public areas have been particularly quiet during this time.

The devastating attack Heaven Ruins Cang Qiong launched against the projection of the Fearless Ship was not something easily forgotten.

…

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, ten years went by.

At Zhu Tian Ruins Market, today marked the beginning of a new trading session.

In the free trading area, Song Chi paused and stopped in front of a stall managed by a burly Ice Giant.

This Ice Giant emitted a strong Fifth Rank Life aura and stood nearly ten meters tall, his unique stature making him stand out among the numerous alien races within the free trading zone.

Moreover, this was after Song Chi had forcibly reduced the sizes of all aliens entering the market. Otherwise, the original size of this Ice Giant would not just be this minor–it would be tens of thousands of meters.

“How much for this?”

Pointing at a soccer ball-sized Ice Crystal Stone on the stall, Song Chi, disguised as a member of the Blue Blood Clan, looked up and asked.

“One strand of Fifth Rank Floating Land Origin!”

The Ice Giant replied with a rumbling voice.

Song Chi nodded calmly without revealing his inner delight. He quickly pulled out a strand of Fifth Rank Floating Land Origin from his Storage Capsule and successfully completed the transaction.

As he strolled toward other stalls, he murmured to himself:

“Now that I have gathered all the special resources that may be needed for the Zhulu Warship’s promotion to Battleship, and considering that my Guidance Technique has recently broken through to lv49, it’s time to start the Warship Promotion Task…”

Indeed, the Ice Crystal Stone he had just purchased was the Millennial Mother of Ice Stone, potentially needed for the promotion to Battleship. With this Millennial Mother of Ice Stone in hand, all preparations for the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s upgrade were now in place.

Next, he would consult with his family, and if there were no issues, he would be ready to officially begin the promotion of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

At the end of the market transactions, the Fifth Rank Ice Giant had exchanged a Red Oddity for a [Ruins Market Walking Rank].

Song Chi was not surprised by this. Ice Giants as creatures preferred to live in groups. If his guess was correct, this Fifth Rank Ice Giant likely had a large group of Ice Giants behind him.

This was clearly another potential major customer for the future. To birth a species like the Ice Giants, the Starry Sea Floating Land where they resided could not possibly be of a low level.

…

After tallying the harvest from this Ruins Market trade, Song Chi approached the [Divine Country Mission Platform].

Since ascending to Fifth Rank after the Ruins Market, this gold-quality market setup was promptly enhanced to lv70. Although it cost Song Chi a strand of Seventh Rank Floating Land Origin and a portion of Dominant True Spirit, the improvement in attributes was well worth the expense.

After the enhancement to Seventh Rank, the number of Divine Country Players on this [Divine Country Mission Platform] skyrocketed to five million, and even after more than twenty years, its quota is still not yet filled.

With the help of these millions of Divine Country Alien Race players, Song Chi has reaped considerable benefits in recent years.

For instance, the Black Hole Dense Stone, which was previously extremely difficult to procure, was acquired in substantial quantities with the assistance of Alien Race players scattered across tens of thousands of different Star Domains.

Even the exceedingly scarce Antimatter Source was purchased in the past twenty plus years, three in total–regrettably too small in volume to enable the [Antimatter Source Evolution Engine] to complete its quality evolution.

This time Song Chi came in for another bounty task.

[High-price acquisition of Low Level, Intermediate Intelligent Brain…]

This was a mission he released as the Lord of Divine Country quite some time ago. Although there were quite a few who took the mission, none seemed to actually present an Intelligent Brain until just now, when the task was completed.

As his thoughts willed it, his hand quickly produced several Low Level Intelligent Brains.

Controlling the authority of the Lord of Divine Country, the image of that player who handed in the task appeared in Song Chi’s mind.

However, it was different from what he expected; it wasn’t one of the few from the Mechanical Race among the millions of Divine Country Players, but rather an ordinary looking dog-headed man.

“Interesting, a Fourth Rank dog-headed man actually managed to gather so many Low Level Intelligent Brains. I could find an opportunity to ask later, to see if he could procure Intermediate Intelligent Brains.”

Not staying too long in the Divine Kingdom Player Trading Space, Song Chi quickly returned to the Ruins Market.

Inside the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, in the free booth area.

With the silver light flickering several times, the [Dome Sky Brain System], which had been stalled at lv50 for a long time, was finally enhanced to lv60.

Looking at its attributes, as expected, to enhance further would require the use of Intermediate Intelligent Brain.

But compared to that, Song Chi was very satisfied with the attributes of the [Dome Sky Brain System] after being enhanced to Sixth Rank.

Putting aside anything else, just the feature “Fully Automated Sub-brain Intelligence Mechanism” alone, meant that the number of sub-brains that it could differentiate increased from 1000 to 3000.

Not a qualitative change, but equipping three thousand Hellfire Mechas and envisioning the scene of a full-spectrum fire attack from three thousand Fourth Rank Units–the deterrent power is undeniable.

If even more formidable Fifth Rank “Moruo Space-Escape Mech” were equipped, the destructive power would be unimaginable.

Thinking up to this point, Song Chi rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Let’s not mention the difficulty of mass-producing Fifth Order Moruo Escape Sky Mechas; even if the family research department managed to create a mass production line in the future, buying 3000 of the Fifth Rank Moruo Space-Escape Mech was an enormous challenge. Even with Song Chi’s current fortune, a one-off purchase of three thousand Fifth Rank Moruo Space-Escape Mechas would likely leave him bankrupt.

Shaking his head, Song Chi stopped dwelling on it any further and exited the Ruins Market, hurriedly trying to get in touch with the family.

All the preparation for the warship promotion had been made, and naturally, Song Chi wished to expedite the promotion of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

With the luxurious setup on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, once promoted to Battleship, many components on the warship could be enhanced to Seventh Rank. By then, Song Chi was confident he could face a Fearless Ship.

However, the idea was good, but the cost of resources was going to be a bottomless pit. Fortunately, the previous pioneer wars yielded plenty, added to the proceeds from the Ruins Market trades and the [Divine Country Mission Platform], it should be enough to afford the massive enhancement spree following the upcoming promotion.
