Chapter 107: Tallying Gains and Enhancements
Chapter 107: Tallying Gains and Enhancements
In the Curio Exchange Shop, Zhou Ping's eyes flickered with a mix of disappointment and hope as he quickly considered his next steps.
Now that he had the Nine Heavens Cloud Essence, the Cloud River Elder’s storage bag still contained many valuable items. If he could survive this ordeal, he believed he wouldn’t have to worry about cultivation resources for a long time, and his future would be bright.
However, the catch was that he needed to ensure his survival first.
In just a few hours, the ruins market would close, and ensuring his safety was his most pressing concern.
After much deliberation, Zhou Ping decided to place his hope in the All-Heaven Ruins Market, but this time, he tried a different approach.
He once again presented the fourth-rank spirit energy (fourth-rank floating land essence) in his hand, and Song Chi in the free market area watched silently, waiting for Zhou Ping to speak.
"I want to exchange this fourth-rank spirit energy for survival items of equal value, or powerful weapons that I can use."
As he spoke, Zhou Ping stared intently at the holographic screen in front of him, his heart racing with anticipation.
Outside, Song Chi pondered for a moment before raising his arm.
Simultaneously, a spatial fluctuation occurred in the Curio Exchange Shop.
Zhou Ping’s eyes widened in curiosity as several items appeared in front of him.
Looking up at the holographic screen, he saw a new line of text detailing the items.
- Personal Energy Shield: Activates a protective energy shield using an internal energy cell, capable of defending against most first-rank attacks.
- Enhanced Energy Grenade: Possesses second-rank explosive power.
- First-Rank Combat Robot: Has first-rank combat capabilities.
- Advanced Exoskeleton Power Armor: Significantly enhances speed, reaction time, defense, and strength.
Reading the descriptions on the screen, Zhou Ping’s worried expression gradually turned into one of elation.
With these new items, he could imagine his chances of survival greatly increasing.
As Zhou Ping’s excitement grew, Song Chi in the free market area also pondered the implications.
The items he had provided, combined with Zhou Ping’s identity as a cultivator, painted a vivid picture in his mind.
He muttered to himself, "Cyber-cultivation?"
After a brief moment of distraction, Song Chi focused his thoughts, and the holographic screen in the Curio Exchange Shop began to change.
When Zhou Ping saw the content on the screen, his elation turned to a momentary stiffness.
You may choose two of these four items.
His eyes darted between the screen and the four items in front of him. Zhou Ping gritted his teeth and then took out another piece of floating land essence.
"Add this 200 strands of second-rank spirit energy to exchange for all four items. Is that acceptable?"
Song Chi, who was in dire need of second-rank floating land essence, readily agreed.
Zhou Ping had thought the transaction was complete, but as soon as he stored the four items in his storage bag, he quickly spoke again.
"Are there any more first-rank combat robots and enhanced energy grenades?"
Song Chi immediately understood Zhou Ping’s intentions. He still felt insecure and wanted to exchange for a few more enhanced energy grenades and military combat robots.
Song Chi had no reason to refuse, but this time, he had his eyes on the Cloud River Elder’s storage bag and the blue-quality "Blackwater Mystic Turtle Ship Armor" fragment.
Although the storage bag required mana to use, it might come in handy in the future. It wouldn’t cost much, so Song Chi wanted to acquire it.
More importantly, the storage bag had a large internal space. From the glimpse he had when erasing the divine imprint with his rule power, he was certain the bag’s internal space was at least dozens of cubic meters, which was quite substantial.
As for the blue-quality "Blackwater Mystic Turtle Ship Armor," a blue-quality fragment was too valuable to pass up.
Song Chi's plan was to see if his brother Song Wen needed blue-quality ship armor. If so, he could use this fragment to exchange for the Fixed Deployment Platform.
With the Fixed Deployment Platform, the practicality of the brainwave remote control system would be greatly enhanced, aside from the inability to freely recover it. If possible, he wanted to keep this fragment.
Zhou Ping finally agreed, but the price Song Chi had to pay was two additional enhanced energy grenades and five first-tier combat robots.
Additionally, Song Chi managed to get a few bottles of Body Tempering Liquid and a box of Body Tempering Ointment, bringing his total to 15 bottles of Body Tempering Liquid and two boxes of Body Tempering Ointment.
...
The Free Market Area.
As time passed, the trading at the bazaar was drawing to a close.
"Come, come, take a look! Big loss exchange! Eleven strands of Zeroth-Tier Floating Land Essence for one strand of First-Tier Floating Land Essence, eleven strands of First-Tier Floating Land Essence for one strand of Second-Tier Floating Land Essence."
His cries drew the attention of many alien races, but most quickly lost interest.
Higher-tier Floating Land Essences were far rarer than lower-tier ones in any star domain, so few beings could offer them, and even fewer were willing to trade.
Seeing this, Song Chi felt a bit helpless. If he raised the price, he might as well return to the Dawn Star Principality for the exchange.
In the end, he managed to exchange for only a little over thirty strands of Second-Tier Floating Land Essence, much less than in previous bazaars. However, he did exchange for nearly two thousand strands of First-Tier Floating Land Essence.
"Indeed, not every time can be as lucky!"
Sighing lightly, Song Chi quickly recovered. Although the amount of Second-Tier Floating Land Essence he obtained from the aliens was small, what he got from Zhou Ping was substantial.
Two hundred strands of Second-Tier Floating Land Essence, one hundred strands of Third-Tier Floating Land Essence, and twenty strands of Fourth-Tier Floating Land Essence.
If he added the ones he had plundered from the Starlight Civilization, he now had over five hundred strands of Second-Tier Floating Land Essence, an amount that would be unimaginable to others.
Thinking about this, Song Chi began to quickly tally up all his gains from this bazaar.
Thanks to the appearance of the Primordial Continent cultivators, he had made a fortune. When he finished the tally, his heart raced.
One Orange-Class Main Cannon
One Blue-Class Ship Hull Armor
Fifty Titanium Crystals
One Advanced Storage Bag
Twenty strands of Fourth-Tier Floating Land Essence
One hundred strands of Third-Tier Floating Land Essence
Two hundred strands of Second-Tier Floating Land Essence
Three thousand two hundred strands of First-Tier Floating Land Essence
Over seventy thousand strands of Zeroth-Tier Floating Land Essence
Several Life Core Essences of various tiers
Various resources with price differences
Altogether, even without counting the two ship components, the fifty Titanium Crystals, and the Advanced Storage Bag, the total value of the other items exceeded four hundred thousand strands of Zeroth-Tier Floating Land Essence, a staggering amount.
When he calculated this number, Song Chi was shocked. It was truly astonishing.
After the initial shock, he felt immense joy, as all of this was real and tangible.
(PS: For those still complaining about the hundredfold price difference, the main character is making money at an incredible speed. If it gets any more exaggerated, I might lose control!)
Of course, Song Chi knew that the reason for such a huge profit was the good fortune of encountering the group of Primordial Continent cultivators. Zhou Ping alone contributed over three hundred thousand strands of Zeroth-Tier Floating Land Essence, nearly 80% of the total.
If he included the two ship components and the Titanium Crystals, Zhou Ping's contribution would be over 95%, truly a massive source of wealth.
After this, future bazaar transactions would return to normal, but with the new channel from the Primordial Continent, there should be some increase.
Sighing, Song Chi calmed his excitement and summoned the Sky Dominion.
He then walked into the airship with the Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon component in hand.
This Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon, as the second Orange-Class component to be installed on the Sky Dominion, filled Song Chi with anticipation. Its attributes were already astonishing at Level 0, so what would they be at Level 10 or Level 20? It was too exciting to think about.
[Do you wish to spend 10 strands of Zeroth-Tier Floating Land Essence + 1000 energy points + 1 ton of Flame Sun Ore to upgrade the Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon from Level 0 to Level 1?]
"Confirm!"
After acquiring the Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon, Song Chi had quietly purchased enough Flame Sun Ore during the previous transaction, so he could now strengthen it confidently.
Soon, he spent 420 strands of Zeroth-Tier Floating Land Essence and 60 tons of Flame Sun Ore to upgrade the Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon to Level 10.
But he didn't stop there. With ten more consecutive upgrades, he spent 690 strands of First-Tier Floating Land Essence and 440 tons of Flame Sun Ore to bring the Pure Yang Sword Light Cannon to Level 20.
At this point, Song Chi paused and finally slowed down his actions.
Here is the rewritten chapter with non-English characters replaced with their English equivalents or transliterations:
After reaching level 20, the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon required titanium crystals for further enhancements.
In fact, the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon at level 20 already had astonishing attributes, more than sufficient for a first-tier Ember Fleet warship. But Song Chi was no ordinary first-tier captain. He looked at the 54 titanium crystals in his hand, gritted his teeth, and decided to continue the enhancements.
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!
After five consecutive upgrades, the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon reached level 25. Song Chi now had 24 titanium crystals left, enough for one more upgrade. However, after some consideration, he decided to save the remaining crystals for future use.
The current attributes of the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon were beyond impressive:
Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon (Level 25)
- Quality: Orange
- Special Ability: Chaotic Yang Sword Intent Light
- Special Ability 2: Main Cannon Power Increase 90%
- Cost: 2000 per use (Mystic Energy Points)
- Attack: 100,360
- Recharge: 5 seconds; Buffer 10 seconds
- Upgrade Requirements: 70 strands of Floating Land Essence (Tier 2), 20,000 Mystic Energy Points, 200 tons of Sunflame Ore, 12 titanium crystals
Chaotic Yang Sword Intent Light: After a 30-second recharge, a massive sword intent slash with 450% of the main cannon's power is fired in the designated direction, destroying everything in its path.
A single attack dealing over 100,000 damage, and with the "Chaotic Yang Sword Intent Light," it could deal over 400,000 damage in one shot. Such terrifying attributes were truly horrifying.
However, the horror was for others, not Song Chi. This formidable main cannon was installed on the Azure Sky, and he felt only deep satisfaction.
The enhancements, however, came at a cost. Besides the titanium crystals, he had also spent 200 strands of Tier 2 Floating Land Essence, significantly reducing his stock. The expenses were truly like water flowing away.
While Song Chi was enhancing the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon, a battle was already raging in the wilderness of the Eastern Divine Continent, Luofu Domain, on the Primordial Continent.
Whizz, whizz, whizz!
As spells flew, towering trees in the dense forest were continuously blown apart at the waist.
In front of a group of Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples, three ninth-level Qi Practitioners shouted coldly.
"Zhou Ping, hand over Elder Tianhe's storage bag and everything inside it."
On the opposite side, Zhou Ping, surrounded by a layer of ethereal white light shield, sneered.
"Hahaha, everything Elder Tianhe had, I've already traded to the entity behind the Multiverse Market. You will leave here empty-handed today!"
The faces of the Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples darkened. No one knew what kind of transaction had taken place in that peculiar artifact exchange shop. If what Zhou Ping said was true, it was not good news.
Their gazes shifted to the military exoskeleton armor Zhou Ping wore, speculating whether this intricate steel creation was the result of his transaction.
Despite their suspicions, the attacks from the nine disciples did not lessen. Regardless of what Zhou Ping had done or what the strange steel creation could do, they would not let him escape.
Zhou Ping felt no surprise. He moved his arm, feeling the powerful enhancement provided by the exoskeleton armor, and then tapped his storage bag.
In the next second, six battle robots with clear first-tier energy signatures appeared in front of him.
The nine Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples' eyes narrowed. These new steel constructs posed a significant threat.
"Are they puppets?"
Their first thought was that these steel constructs were puppets from the cultivation world, but they quickly dismissed the idea. Zhou Ping was just an ordinary outer disciple of the Luofu Sword Sect and could not possibly have so many puppets. They must be creations of an alien civilization from the market.
Realizing this, the nine disciples felt a sense of urgency. They exchanged glances and then simultaneously flew forward, charging at Zhou Ping.
They did not know how many transactions Zhou Ping had made with the entity behind the market, but they knew that the longer they delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. This was, after all, the stronghold of the Luofu Sword Sect.
Under Zhou Ping's command, the six military battle robots charged forward, and he joined the fray as well. The robots, unable to fly, were best suited for ground combat, so he could not escape.
