Chapter 231: Silver, Silver Rarity
Chapter 231: Silver, Silver Rarity
Instantly, Song Chi's curiosity soared to unprecedented heights.
He had always had a significant interest in the so-called Tri-Eye Guards.
If they were indeed Chikura's personal guards as he had suspected, their strength could not be weak.
By the same token, the stronger they were, the more precious the items they left behind would be.
However, there was no need to rush. At this moment, several Void Shadow Killer Puppets had already pushed open the hatch of the Basic Ore Storage Room 3. The first puppet stepped inside, gradually depleting the alloy mech guard in the room.
Initially, Song Chi thought this would take at least another month or more, but reality gave him a pleasant surprise.
The alloy mech guard in the Basic Ore Storage Room 3 seemed to have been previously depleted, or perhaps its energy reserves were insufficient to begin with. It only took half a month for it to completely shut down due to energy depletion.
After that, the Void Shadow Killer Puppets naturally continued with the resource loading work.
The resources in the Basic Ore Storage Room 2 and Room 3 could only prioritize those of higher value. If there was still time later, they could try to take everything, but not now.
Moreover, the Basic Ore Storage Room 3 did not contain resources of the same level as Primordial Copper, only barely meeting the criteria.
After that, Song Chi naturally intended to continue advancing. The corridor leading to the flagship's core area was long, and there were several more hatches awaiting exploration in the visible distance ahead.
However, just as the Void Shadow Killer Puppets approached the Basic Ore Storage Room 4, an unexpected event occurred.
The leading Void Shadow Killer Puppet suddenly disintegrated.
It had not suffered any external damage, nor had it triggered any Law Traces. It simply could not withstand the increasingly intense unknown pressure, and its puppet body was completely crushed by the oppressive force pressing down on it like a mountain.
Unwilling to believe it, Song Chi called on the second puppet, which had fallen behind, to proceed cautiously.
Crack!
Under this pressure akin to a supreme rule, testing was futile.
With the death of the second Void Shadow Killer Puppet, Song Chi fully understood.
Level 40 puppets had reached the current limit of advancement. Unless the Void Shadow Killer Puppet Tree component was upgraded to the Fifth Rank, summoning a Pseudo-Fifth Rank puppet, it would be difficult to continue exploring this corridor.
Feeling somewhat reluctant, Song Chi gazed down the corridor toward its end, where he could vaguely see the Tri-Eye Clan script inscribed on several alloy hatches.
Basic Ore Storage Room 4
Basic Ore Storage Room 5
Rare Mineral Chamber
Total Mineral Chamber
...
He did not have much feeling about the two Basic Ore Storage Rooms, but the Rare Mineral Chamber and Total Mineral Chamber further inside were incredibly tempting.
If the Basic Ore Storage Room could contain resources like Primordial Copper, a Super Strategic Resource, what about the Rare Mineral Chamber and Total Mineral Chamber? Could the items inside be inferior to those in the Basic Ore Storage Room?
Song Chi estimated that the Rare Mineral Chamber likely contained resources like Primordial Copper, including Law Stones, and the Total Mineral Chamber might even have Law Crystals.
But alas, he could only watch helplessly, and how could he be content with that?
His gaze shifted from the left side of the corridor to the right, more specifically to the rest room on the right side, whose hatch seemed to be open.
As Song Chi strained to adjust his angle to look over, he seemed to catch a faint, almost imperceptible glint.
"Did I see wrong? It looked like a silver glow!!"
Song Chi's heart skipped a beat, and he held his breath, continuing to stare at the hatch that seemed to be open.
The next second, his confidence grew, as the script inscribed above this hatch was significantly different from that of the other cabins on the right.
"Tri-Eye Guard Chief's Room!"
There was no need for further explanation; the word "Chief" alone was enough to explain everything.
Because of this, Song Chi felt even more convinced that he had not seen wrong. After all, it was quite normal for a Tri-Eye Guard Chief to possess a silver-quality rarity, and it did not feel out of place.
His mind raced, but his gaze remained fixed, staring intently.
At one moment, when a faint silver-white glow flashed again from the small gap in the Chief's room, Song Chi let out a low exclamation in the Cobalt Number.
He was now certain he had not seen wrong. Inside the Tri-Eye Guard Chief's room, there was indeed a silver glow, and it was highly likely that there was a silver-quality Star Sea Rarity inside.
With this certainty, Song Chi was filled with excitement, even the word "surprise" could not describe his current mood. For him, this news was like a big ace, exploding straight into his heart.
A silver rarity, though only one rank higher than a red epic rarity, had a drastically different level of rarity.
A red rarity could only convert to a ship component with a maximum of Sixth Rank.
A silver rarity, on the other hand, could reach Seventh Rank.
The difference between Sixth and Seventh Rank was straightforward. Previously, Song Chi had not been clear, but after returning to the Song Clan of Dinghai, based on the vast Song Clan database, he had a detailed understanding of the distinction between Sixth and Seventh Rank.
According to the Song Clan database, the detailed classification of civilizations in the shattered star sea is as follows: low-level, mid-level, high-level, and then dominator-level civilizations.
Previously, it was mentioned that the distinction between low-level and mid-level civilizations lies in whether they have Fourth-Rank combat units to stabilize the civilization's fortune. Anything below Fourth Rank falls into the low-level civilization category.
The distinction between mid-level and high-level civilizations, on the other hand, hinges on Seventh-Rank combat units.
Below Seventh Rank, civilizations from Fourth to Sixth Rank are classified as mid-level.
In other words, Seventh Rank is the dividing line between mid-level and high-level civilizations, thus highlighting the difference between a silver-quality component and a red-quality component.
If the rarity of a red epic rarity is 100, then that of a silver rarity is at least 1000, possibly even higher.
Phew!
Taking a deep breath, Song Chi suppressed his pounding heart, forcing himself to calm down.
Although he had found out about the silver rarity, the inability to obtain it was an undeniable fact.
Therefore, it was too early to celebrate.
"No, I must get it as soon as possible. This is the first time I've discovered the whereabouts of a silver rarity, and I cannot allow any other unforeseen events to happen!!"
In a short time, Song Chi had made up his mind.
Under the premise of ensuring his own safety, he must spare no expense and get this silver rarity as soon as possible.
However, a problem arose. To have the Void Shadow Killer Puppet walk all the way to the Chief's room, it would be difficult even if it were reinforced to level 49; it would need to be Fifth Rank.
Thinking of this, Song Chi couldn't help but feel a headache.
Fifth Rank, this wasn't just a casual statement. At the very least, his fire source needed to be upgraded to orange, and this alone was already extremely difficult.
To upgrade a purple fire source to orange, it required an orange-grade ascending fire source. He hadn't even seen such a high-level ascending fire source on the 50th to 59th floors of the family achievement tower, showing how rare it was.
Without exaggeration, obtaining an orange-grade ascending fire source would be very difficult within one or two years.
Realizing this timeframe, Song Chi's heart instantly sank.
Waiting so long, who knew what would happen next? After all, this super colossal flagship wasn't just home to him; there were many high-rank Void Demons, and who could guarantee they wouldn't discover this place in one or two years?
With this thought, Song Chi's mind raced, and soon he came up with a plan.
To advance to the Chief's room before his fire source reached the orange rank, there was only one method: the Enslavement Badge.
The Enslavement Badge component had already been reinforced to Fourth Rank. If he could find a genuine Fourth Rank enslaved creature to carry the "Servitude Imprint · Frenzy" effect, it could temporarily reach Fifth Rank.
Fortunately, he currently had two Fourth Rank Void Demons, and using one of them for this task was most appropriate.
Although the "Servitude Imprint · Frenzy" characteristic would inevitably lead to death once used, exchanging a Fourth Rank creature for a silver-quality rarity didn't seem like a loss to Song Chi; instead, he considered it a great profit.
"Let it be. The next task is to focus on obtaining Titanium Crystal, law stones, Third Rank, and Fourth Rank Floating Continent Essence as quickly as possible, to reinforce the component of Chikura's 004 Cultivation Secret Realm to Fourth Rank, and to remove the seal on the Silver Apple Mother Tree and the two Void Demons..."
Determined, Song Chi glanced at the Tri-Eye Guards' Chief's room one more time, then recalled the remaining two exploration puppets and began to unload the resources from the Basic Ore Storage Room 2 and 3.
Five days later, the higher-value resources from the two ore storage rooms were all transferred to the Market and then to the cultivation secret realm.
Seeing this, Song Chi didn't linger, controlling 35 Void Shadow Killer Puppets to exit the corridor and prepare to explore other ship hull cracks.
"Master, the family... summons!"
The abrupt mental transmission from Tuogu Hong, broken and intermittent, disrupted Song Chi's subsequent plans.
On the Cobalt Number, Song Chi immediately canceled the brainwave imprint and remotely recalled the 35 Void Shadow Killer Puppets.
Within a short time, the Cobalt Number returned to the core space of the giant asteroid. After instructing the half-step Fourth Rank humanoid alien, he used the "Holy Cross Beacon" component to leave a new target imprint.
After doing this, he didn't even have time to go to the two members of the Spirit Clan to convert them into worship creatures for the spirit pillar; he directly returned to the Bailin Continent via the Market.
Bailin Continent, Ten Thousand Spirits City, Mechanical Tower.
Tuogu Hong quickly narrated the events.
"Grandfather and Uncle have both come?"
Hearing Tuogu Hong's explanation, Song Chi was puzzled. According to Tuogu Hong, nothing unusual had happened in the Bailin Starfield; the summons came from his grandfather, Song Ming Song.
"Grandfather wasn't busy hunting aliens, why would he suddenly come to the Bailin Continent?"
With this question in mind, Song Chi hurried out.
Soon, he found his grandfather and the others in a building similar to the mayor's mansion in Ten Thousand Spirits City.
As soon as he entered, Song Chi felt a slight tension.
Because at this moment, his grandfather, eldest uncle, second uncle, and father were all present. Such a grand array made him feel that it wasn't just a small matter.
"Grandfather..."
After greeting everyone, Song Chi fell silent, believing that his grandfather would provide an explanation.
Song Ming Song and his three sons exchanged glances, then said solemnly:
"Xiao Chi, the family has already announced that the Seventh Sequence competition will begin soon. This sequence competition is divided into three stages, and the first stage will start in a month. All candidates must gather at the family's location!"
Hearing the words "sequence competition," Song Chi's heart subconsciously relaxed. He had initially thought it was some bad news about the pulse, which made him nervous.
Now that he heard it was just the family's sequence competition, he instinctively felt relieved.
Honestly, he was confident in the Cobalt Number's current combat power. For the family's Seventh Sequence position, he was determined to win.
It wasn't that he underestimated others, but the current configuration of the Cobalt Number indeed gave him the confidence not to fear any peers.
Moreover, the family's selection of the sequence this time wasn't arbitrary; it had an age restriction of 45 years or younger. Under this age, while there might be Third Rank clan members among the candidates, there wouldn't be any Fourth Rank, which was another reason for Song Chi's confidence.
"Grandfather, I understand!"
"By the way, how is the success rate of the Roaring Lion Ship?"
This time, he had stayed in the ancient star battlefield for five months, plus the previous two months, meaning that almost eight months had passed since the Roaring Lion Ship's ship ascension mission began, leaving less than four months.
Song Ming Song smiled and said:
"Not bad. In this period, I and your eldest uncle have cleared two Third Rank civilization starfields. The success rate has officially surpassed 40%. Additionally, the earth elemental law crystal and Fourth Rank life crystal have been collected, only the Ten Thousand Year Pure Yang Stone is missing. The success rate should exceed 55% after that."
Hearing 40%, Song Chi nodded lightly, then said after some thought:
"Grandfather, I have a Fourth Rank creature corpse here..."
As he spoke, he brought out the Fourth Rank Void Demon corpse from the Cobalt Number.
Seeing this, the four people in the room were all surprised but didn't ask further.
At the same time, Song Ming Song shook his head and said:
"Each warship can only fuse one drop of Fourth Rank bio blood when ascending to Fourth Rank!"
