Chapter 291: Enraged Giant · Neutron Star Remains
Chapter 291: Enraged Giant · Neutron Star Remains
On the 80th floor of the Merit Tower, this is the level that requires over 3000 Gold Merit Points to enter.
When Song Chi first learned of this, he once thought it would be impossible for him to meet this requirement for a long time. However, he never expected happiness to come so suddenly.
Upon entering this level, Song Chi quickly scanned his surroundings, and soon his brows furrowed.
On this floor, there were mostly special mineral resources, and the ship components were incredibly scarce.
Name: Primordial Copper
Category: Super Strategic Resource
Quantity: 1kg
Exchange Price: 1000 Gold Merit Points
...
Name: Cosmic Stone
Category: Super Strategic Resource
Quantity: 1 (3kg)
Exchange Price: 3000 Gold Merit Points
...
Name: Intermediate Ice Law Crystal
Category: Red Artifact
Quantity: 1
Exchange Price: 1300 Gold Merit Points
...
Looking at the item descriptions behind each counter, although Song Chi was enticed, he wasn't overly excited. He continued to check and move upwards.
From the 80th floor to the 88th floor, there were a few items that caught his eye, but adhering to the principle that higher floors contained more precious items, he continued to the upper floors.
The 89th floor was the last level requiring 3000 Gold Merit Points. As soon as he stepped into this level, something extremely surprising happened.
Deep within his Ancestor Aperture, the miniaturized Sky Dome, which was circulating around the Orange Flame Seed, suddenly began to tremble violently. Just as Song Chi thought something unusual was happening within the Sky Dome, this violent tremor suddenly turned into a guiding force, leading him to a corner of the 89th floor.
Behind him, Song Xuan Cang, who had been following, naturally noticed the anomaly but said nothing.
As they approached the exchange counter in the corner, the confusion in Song Chi's eyes instantly turned to realization.
The item in front of him was a pile of Neutron Star Remains.
Name: Neutron Star Remains
Category: Auxiliary Item for Light Law (Effect Lost)
Quantity: One whole piece
Exchange Price: 100 Gold Merit Points
The Neutron Star Remains in this counter were not a Star Sea Rarity and could not be converted into a ship component.
The Shattered Star Sea and the previous Multiverse contained endless possibilities, but not all items could transform into Star Sea Rarities after a long period.
Only those that met certain special conditions and underwent the trials of time could potentially evolve into Star Sea Rarities.
Even Neutron Star Remains, at this level, would not transform into a rarity without meeting these special conditions.
Song Chi speculated that this pile of remains was still placed here after losing its effectiveness because Neutron Star Remains were extremely rare, and this was what ultimately gave him an advantage.
Since this item could cause such a significant reaction from the Sky Dome, or more specifically, the Neutron Star Nuclear Armor on the Sky Dome's hull, it must be crucial. He had to take it.
"Clan Head, can this pile of Neutron Star Remains be considered an orange component?"
Song Xuan Cang glanced at Song Chi, surprised, and asked:
"You want this thing?"
Before Song Chi could respond, he continued:
"It's just some useless scrap. Since it's useful to you, take it directly. The other rewards remain unchanged."
Hearing this, Song Chi was very happy.
"Thank you, Clan Head!"
Song Chi placed the Neutron Star Remains into a storage capsule, then toured the entire 89th floor before ascending to the 90th floor.
After about half an hour, having thoroughly checked the entire 80th to 99th floors, he made a decision.
Without hesitation, he returned to the 84th floor and took the most satisfactory Fifth-Rank Enslaved Creature Voucher.
Fifth-Rank Enslaved Creature Voucher
Creature Name: Enraged Giant
Race: Enraged Giant Clan
Genetic Lineage Rating: 84
Talents: Bloodline Power, Flame King
Enslavement Required Merit Points: 3500 Gold Merit Points
Husbandry Location: Magma Valley, Dragon Spine Continent
The Fifth-Rank Enraged Giant, with a genetic lineage rating of the fourth tier on the Song Clan's genetic lineage spectrum, and its terrifying vitality comparable to that of Star Sea Beasts and Star Sea Dragons, made Song Chi choose it among the few Fifth-Rank enslaved creatures.
He had considered the "Crooked Green Dragon" enslavement voucher on the 80th floor. As a dragon species, its lineage potential was equally impressive, and its vitality would not be inferior to that of the Enraged Giant.
However, considering that the Crooked Green Dragon only required 3000 Gold Merit Points, Song Chi speculated that it was likely just entering the Fifth Rank, and its combat power would certainly be inferior to this Fifth-Rank Enraged Giant.
After obtaining the Enslavement Voucher for the Enraged Giant, Song Chi returned to the 88th floor, where he picked up a spatial law crystal of orange quality.
Thus, he had already chosen two out of the three rewards, leaving only the final silver component.
On the 98th floor, in front of a counter, Song Chi stared at the silver ship component inside.
Final Sanctuary lv0
Quality: Silver
Characteristic: Final Sanctuary
Characteristic 2: Buffer Time Reduced by 5%
Characteristic 3: Repair Effect Doubled
Characteristic 4: Additional 1 Accumulated Use
Consumption: 10,000 per use (Mana Points)
Uses: 2/2; Buffer: 24 hours
Effect: Upon activation, immediately repair 14% (7% × 2) of the ship's hull armor, restore 14% (7% × 2) of the energy shield, and repair 4% (2% × 2) of the ship's structure.
Upgrade Requirement: 30 Zero-Rank Floating Land Essences, 3,000 Mana Points
Note: This component requires an additional 5 slot positions.
Final Sanctuary: Consuming 50,000 Mana Points, instantly restores the ship, hull armor, and energy shield to their peak state, with a cooldown of five years.
This silver-quality ship repair component was the final reward Song Chi chose.
He had actually been quite conflicted about his choice. Although there were not many silver components on floors 80 to 99, this was not the only one. Among them, he was also tempted by components like the Tri-Eye Guard Puppet Tree and the Aurora Belt Integration Device.
However, after careful consideration, he chose the component that would address the biggest weakness of the Sky Dome—the repair component.
After selecting all the rewards, Song Chi was eager to summon the Sky Dome immediately. With so many resources and components in hand, he couldn't wait to perform a comprehensive upgrade on the Sky Dome.
Additionally, he was extremely curious about the relationship between the Neutron Star Remains and the Neutron Star Core Armor.
However, no matter how eager he was, it wouldn't help because he still needed to meet with the Clan Head and head to the Magma Valley. Although he had obtained the Enslavement Voucher for the Enraged Giant, it was impossible to enslave a Fifth-Rank life form with just a piece of paper. The presence of Song Xuan Cang was necessary.
Fortunately, this time there were no complications. Despite the Magma Valley being home to a clan of Enraged Giants, including several Fifth-Rank ones, they were docile when faced with Song Xuan Cang, and the Enraged Giant was quickly sent to await Song Chi's enslavement below the Sky Dome.
Song Chi first spent 207 Tier 4, 1 Tier 5 Floating Land Essences, 975 Titanium Crystals, and nearly 200 law stones to enhance the Enslavement Badge to level 50. Then, it took him nearly ten attempts to successfully enslave the Fifth-Rank Enraged Giant.
After completing the enslavement and with nothing else to do, Song Chi hurriedly bowed respectfully to the Clan Head and prepared to leave.
However, he was stopped by Song Xuan Cang.
"Xiao Chi, now that your flagship has ascended to the Third Rank and the Dragon Spine Secret Realm cannot be entered for a while, staying in the clan will not benefit your flagship's improvement..."
Song Chi: ???
A sense of unease welled up inside him. He immediately looked at the Clan Head in the communication projection, waiting for Song Xuan Cang to continue.
As he had expected, Song Xuan Cang's next words made Song Chi, who only wanted to stay at home and gradually accumulate strength, shake his head inwardly.
"The clan has a mission for you to complete."
"In two years, the shield protecting the Immortal Realm Fragment will weaken, and all the forces within the Morning Star Principality will send Flame Vessel Captains to explore it. There might even be forces outside the principality. You will be one of our representatives."
Upon hearing this, Song Chi's eyebrows raised.
He had heard from his grandfather that the Immortal Realm Fragment was located in the Dusk Star Domain in the south of the principality. It was said that the shield protecting the fragment was incredibly powerful. Even the combined efforts of several Sixth-Rank Flame Vessel Captains from the Morning Star Principality could not affect it. They could only wait for the shield to weaken every one to two hundred years, allowing Third-Rank and below Flame Vessel Captains to enter and explore.
"So, you want me to head to the Dusk Star Domain in two years?"
Song Xuan Cang shook his head.
"No, you should set out in the next few days. First, go to the Capital Star Domain. Two years from now, the royal family of the principality will open a direct spatial gate to the Dusk Star Domain. You can go with them then."
Song Chi was puzzled. If there were still two years, why did he need to leave so urgently?
His eyes were filled with suspicion, feeling that the Clan Head and the clan's higher-ups had no good intentions.
Noticing his expression, Song Xuan Cang remained calm and said indifferently,
"Aren't you always looking to acquire resources like Time Sand? The Flame Vessel Market in the capital star domain recently gathered some information. It seems there is a significant amount, at least 5 kg or more. However, the situation is somewhat complicated and requires your personal attention!"
"Time Sand?"
Song Chi's eyes lit up. If it really was such a rare resource, he truly needed to make the trip.
"5 kg, that's quite a bit. It would be enough to reinforce the [Bodhimanda Meditation Seal] component multiple times."
"Thank you, Clan Head. I understand; I'll set out in a few days!"
After the Sky Dome completely vanished from the horizon, in the main control room of the [Vast Boundless], a flicker of unusual emotion flashed in Song Xuan Cang's eyes.
At this moment, a calm voice came through another communication channel on the warship.
"Don't worry. With the knife coin from Shiyuan and the Fifth-Rank Enraged Giant, plus Ru will be heading over soon. And this kid has hidden his combat power deeply. He might surprise us in ways we don't expect."
"These past years, we've been too restrained. The major forces in the principality have already started testing the waters. Let the younger generation of the clan stir things up, the more chaotic the better. With the assistance of that Sovereign Battleship, we only need a few more decades, and then no one will be able to stop the Song Clan's momentum in the Morning Star Principality!"
Song Chi was completely unaware of these plans. After returning to the Blue Moon Estate via the spatial leap, he immediately entered the Multiverse Market and summoned the Sky Dome, eager to begin the next round of warship reinforcement.
Since he was about to head to the capital star domain of the Morning Star Principality, the reinforcement levels of the Sky Dome's various components needed to be as high as possible.
The capital star domain of the Morning Star Principality was the most mixed and chaotic place in the entire principality, and without sufficient strength, it would be hard to feel at ease.
He equipped the [Final Sanctuary] component, but his gaze first fell not on this component, but on the [Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield] and the [Central Star Nuclear Armor].
Of course, the main focus was the [Central Star Nuclear Armor]. As he took out the storage capsule containing the neutron star remains, he clearly felt the intense tremor of the Sky Dome beneath him, and the [Central Star Nuclear Armor] component in front of him glowed brightly with red light.
Without hesitation, Song Chi opened the storage capsule in his hand.
In fact, he had already had some suspicions before this. He clearly remembered the description of the [Neutron Star Core] oddity, which was the precursor of the [Central Star Nuclear Armor] component.
"Due to a long-term lack of energy, the neutron star remains lost all their energy and gradually degraded into a red oddity."
Since it had degraded, it meant that the original quality of the neutron star core oddity was not red, but higher than red.
Considering this, and the reaction to another pile of neutron star remains, it was hard not to have some speculations.
"Could it be that the Central Star Nuclear Armor can autonomously absorb other neutron star remains and thus restore its original quality?"
While he was speculating, the neutron star remains taken out of the storage capsule had already undergone a dramatic change with the [Central Star Nuclear Armor] component.
The blinding red light made Song Chi instinctively close his eyes. When he opened them again, the warship had already returned to normal.
However, the pile of neutron star remains had vanished without a trace. He hurriedly checked the attributes of the [Central Star Nuclear Armor] component to see how it had changed.
Before doing so, Song Chi decided to spend over a hundred strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Essence + 1 strand of Fifth-Rank Floating Land Essence + over a hundred law stones, to reinforce this hull armor to level 50.
After all, he was planning to reinforce it anyway.
