Chapter 305: Spatial Anchor Point 2 and the [Market Listing Token]
Chapter 305: Spatial Anchor Point 2 and the [Market Listing Token]
After reviewing the configurations, Song Chi walked along the central street to the inn below the free stall area. However, he was soon disappointed. Despite the Market Ruins advancing to the third tier, the inn had not changed at all and remained a three-story building. This meant that, apart from the second-floor [Market Guest Room] and the third-floor [Market Walker Room], no new inn rooms had appeared with this promotion, and thus, there would naturally be no new Market Ruins tokens.
It was hard not to feel disappointed, but Song Chi did not dwell on it. He quickly shifted his gaze to the detailed attribute panel of the Multiverse Market. Based on the previous two promotions, each major tier advancement of the Market Ruins had multiple configurations or features that changed. Since the inn had not changed this time, it was certain that the changes must have occurred in other configurations or characteristics.
[Name: Multiverse Market]
[Owner: Song Chi]
[Level: lv34]
[Size: 10800m x 10800m]
[Basic Configurations: 220 shops, one 2400m x 2400m stall area, one three-story inn, one lv34 all-attribute training room (doubles the efficiency of Ether Energy cultivation), one lv34 Ether Energy defense array, one lv34 ultra-long-range spatial gate random deployment platform, and one third-tier Spirit Energy synthesis platform.]
[Extra Configuration: Concealed Light Platform (Purple) lv30 (1/14)]
[Feature: Evade Disaster (allows free movement in the void, avoiding natural disasters)]
[Feature 2: Spatial Anchor Point (allows setting two coordinate anchor points in any different star domains within the Shattered Star Sea)]
[Upgrade Requirement: 150 strands of third-tier Floating Land Essence, and the Market Ruins' transaction amount must reach 50,000 strands of third-tier Floating Land Essence (47,500/50,000)]
After carefully examining the attribute panel, Song Chi confirmed his suspicion. Although the inn's configuration had not changed, the number of spatial anchor points that the Spatial Anchor Point feature could set had increased to 2. This meant that in the future, Song Chi could permanently set one anchor point on the Dragon Spine Continent, providing him with the safest retreat during his explorations in alien star domains. The other anchor point could serve as a stepping stone for exploring any alien star domain, without worrying about the exploration time.
He could imagine that his future operational flexibility would reach an extremely high level. After the joy, he frowned. The increase in the number of spatial anchor points was undoubtedly a great blessing, but he felt that something was still missing from this promotion.
After careful consideration, he became increasingly convinced that he was not imagining things, and there was indeed something amiss.
The first promotion of the Market Ruins added the [Market Guest Token] and the Spatial Anchor Point feature.
The second promotion added the [Market Walker Token] and the Spirit Energy synthesis platform.
This third promotion, however, seemed to only add one more anchor point to the Spatial Anchor Point feature and did not introduce a second new configuration.
"Could I have overlooked something?"
He scanned the Market Ruins' attribute panel several more times, confirming that there were no other omissions. Then, he began to wander around the Market Ruins.
Soon, Song Chi, who had confirmed that there were no other changes, entered a shop. After the Market Ruins advanced to the third tier, the number of shops in the inn had increased to 220. Even though Song Chi had already placed many items in various shops over the years, nearly a hundred shops were now empty, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.
He wanted to rent these shops to other alien species, but the total number of [Market Guest Tokens] and [Market Walker Tokens] was only 20, limiting the number of shops he could rent out.
As he entered a newly appeared vacant shop, Song Chi's eyes lit up. Inside the vacant shop, 10 tokens similar to the [Market Guest Token] and [Market Walker Token] were floating, but these tokens were black iron in color.
Approaching, Song Chi picked up one of the tokens. He quickly received the relevant information about the black iron token.
[Name: Market Listing Token]
[Belongs to: Multiverse Market]
[Effect: Any creature possessing this listing token can list their unique items for sale online, regardless of their location in the Shattered Star Sea, as long as the Market Ruins' trading period is open. Creatures entering the Market Ruins can purchase the listed items at the price set by the seller. After the item is sold, the seller must pay 30% of the sale price as a listing tax to the Market Ruins' owner. After a single trading period ends, any unsold items will be automatically returned to the seller.]
[Restrictions: A single listing token can list up to ten different items. During a single trading period, the same listed items can be replenished infinitely, but cannot be withdrawn.]
Introduction: The product derived from the Multiverse Market possesses incredible abilities.
Note: The Listing Token can only be issued by the Master of the Multiverse Market.
Note 2: The Master of the Multiverse Market has the right to reclaim the Listing Token at any time.
After reading all the attributes of the Listing Token, Song Chi pondered thoughtfully.
At first glance, the primary purpose of the Listing Token seemed to be to increase the diversity of goods in the market. However, this aspect was extremely important for the market itself.
Moreover, there was a chance that some rare special resources, or even Star Sea Rarities, might occasionally appear.
Additionally, with the 30% tax cut, it seemed to significantly boost Song Chi's earnings from each round of trading.
With this in mind, he quickly toured the entire market and found that there were 100 such listing shops, totaling 1,000 Listing Tokens that could be issued to 1,000 different alien species.
If all 1,000 Listing Tokens were issued, it would mean that each market trading session could potentially add up to 10,000 different types of goods, which would significantly increase the market's turnover.
Thinking about this, Song Chi's eyes brightened. He carefully considered and soon realized that although he could actively reclaim the Listing Tokens from across the vast star domains and river systems, it was still necessary to establish clear recovery rules to better leverage the effectiveness of the 1,000 Listing Tokens.
Imagine if no rules were set, and some aliens, upon receiving the Listing Token, would inflate the prices of common mineral resources in their star domains by a hundred or even a thousand times. They would make huge profits if sold, and if not, they would just wait for the next trading session. What would be the point of issuing the Listing Token in such a case?
Only by making the aliens who receive the Listing Tokens understand that setting a reasonable price for their listed goods ensures that they can make a profit while still selling the goods, rather than having them remain unsold and eventually be reclaimed by the market.
After much thought, Song Chi, using his authority as the Master of the Multiverse Market, added a new note to the token.
Note 3: For each market trading session, if the transaction amount of a Listing Token is in the bottom 1/10th of all issued Listing Tokens, the token will be automatically reclaimed by the market.
This means that if 200 Listing Tokens are issued, the next time the 20 lowest transaction amounts will result in those tokens being reclaimed after the market trading session.
By extension, if 1,000 Listing Tokens are issued, the 100 lowest transaction amounts will result in those tokens being reclaimed.
This not only increases the urgency for the aliens who receive the Listing Tokens but also ensures they don't set the listing prices too high, as higher prices mean fewer sales and lower transaction amounts, ultimately leading to the token being reclaimed by the market.
Regarding the issuance rules for the Listing Tokens, Song Chi would carefully select suitable alien species during each market trading session, or choose a few dozen from those who have not obtained the Market Guest Permit or Market Travel Permit but have high consumption.
Besides establishing the issuance and recovery rules for the Listing Tokens, Song Chi also considered whether the Listing Tokens would affect the value of the Market Guest Permit and Market Travel Permit.
After all, both the Guest Permit and Travel Permit require exchanging with rarities, while the Listing Tokens are issued for free.
Therefore, it was necessary to consider the thoughts and feelings of the owners of the Guest Permit and Travel Permit.
In the end, he concluded that it would not affect the value of either.
The reason is simple.
What is the greatest advantage of the Market Guest Permit and Market Travel Permit? Naturally, it is the ability to enter the Multiverse Market in person, allowing them to clearly understand the price details of each market trading session, thereby actively selling at high prices or buying at low prices to maximize their profits.
However, the Listing Tokens are different. Their users are those who cannot re-enter the market, and they lack information about the market's price details, relying on luck to list their goods. A single mistake could result in the token being reclaimed.
Even if they do make a profit, the amount each time is limited.
In the end, the presence of these Listing Tokens actually increases the selection of goods available to the owners of the Market Guest Permit and Market Travel Permit, potentially enhancing their earnings from each market trading session, which is a good thing for them.
...
After sorting out all the changes following the Market Mystic Realm's ascension, Song Chi satisfactorily exited the vacant shop and quickly walked toward the All-Attribute Training Room.
With a 2560% training bonus, Song Chi was confident that it wouldn't be long before his Guiding Technique broke through to level 32.
However, before he could enter the training room, he made a new discovery.
A discovery that excited him.
Following the Market Mystic Realm's ascension to the Third Tier, he suddenly noticed that the entire Mystic Realm seemed to have changed subtly.
Previously, he was too eager to check the Market Mystic Realm's various configurations and characteristics and didn't notice. Now, with a calmer mind, he quickly spotted the differences.
"This is... the Mystic Realm's Law?"
His mind suddenly focused, and a large number of divine mind threads spread out from his brain, rapidly surging toward the hidden Mystic Realm Laws.
When the divine mind threads touched these Mystic Realm Laws, Song Chi's eyes instantly filled with intense joy.
The Mystic Realm Laws, which he previously couldn't perceive or resonate with, now responded to him. Song Chi clearly felt that under the influence of these Mystic Realm Laws, his speed of Law comprehension had significantly increased.
Although this improvement was far from the astonishing effect of the Primeval Law manifested in the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm, it still far exceeded his usual self-guided comprehension.
He retracted the divine mind threads while simultaneously invoking the Mystic Realm Laws to enhance himself.
Soon, he found a location of the Space Origin Law. When the divine mind threads touched this thread of Space Origin Law, Song Chi began to carefully feel the progress of his own Space Law comprehension.
Half an hour later, he reopened his eyes, and his heart had already made a decision.
Using the Space Origin Law of the Market Mystic Realm for enhancement could achieve the effect of comprehending the Law using a low-level Space Law Crystal in the outside world. If he used a low-level Space Law Crystal in conjunction with the Market Mystic Realm, the comprehension speed should reach the normal comprehension effect in the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm.
Of course, the key was "normal comprehension in the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm," without the enhancement of intermediate Space Law Crystals.
Normally, the speed of Law comprehension in the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm is 0.1% in 5 years, and for Space Law, it's about 0.1% in 8 years.
This means that if Song Chi stays in the Market Mystic Realm for a long time and uses a low-level Space Law Crystal, he would only need 8 years to increase his Law comprehension by 0.1%.
Additionally, there is an extremely important point: comprehending Laws in the Market Mystic Realm does not feel awkward, and there is no issue of Laws being incomplete, which could prevent him from eventually switching to Star Sea Laws. Compared to the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm, this is a significant advantage.
The explanation for this, Song Chi guessed, is that the Market Mystic Realm's rank surpasses the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm. However, the reason its Law comprehension enhancement is inferior to the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm is simple: the Market Mystic Realm has suffered severe damage and is only now returning to the Third Tier, naturally not matching a Primeval-level Mystic Realm.
Confirming this, Song Chi's mood improved even more, as this meant that his future path of Law would be much smoother. He could rapidly reach the end of the Law path at a speed far exceeding other beings, saving a significant amount of time while also gaining terrifying combat power.
Moreover, Song Chi even saw the possibility of comprehending multiple Laws. After all, in the Market Mystic Realm, all Laws are complete, including the Time Law.
However, regarding the simultaneous comprehension of multiple Laws, he had not yet made a decision. Currently, he only knew the point mentioned by Song Xuan Cang: the difficulty of comprehending multiple Laws increases exponentially.
As for the other aspects—whether there are benefits, how much the difficulty increases, and how multiple Laws would enhance the Flame Torch Warship—he knew nothing about them.
Based on this, he knew he must not make a blind choice. After returning to the clan, he would need to proactively consult the Clan Head or the clan's ancestors, clarify the relationships, and then make the final decision.
...
Twenty days later, Song Chi, who had already reached the peak of level 31 in his Guiding Technique, successfully broke through to level 32.
Thanks to the All-Attribute Training Room, the 2560% Ether Energy training bonus was no mere talk. If he had continued to train on the Sky Dome's Ether Energy Training Platform, it would have taken at least another month to see results.
After breaking through, he spent some time in the training room familiarizing himself with the changes in his body. By the third day, he had basically adapted and then exited the Market Mystic Realm.
At this point, he still had four days before his one-month agreement with the Man Feng Squad.
