Chapter 317: [Beidou Seven Stars Hall · Yaoguang Star Token] · Family Rewards
Chapter 317: [Beidou Seven Stars Hall · Yaoguang Star Token] · Family Rewards
His gaze focused, and the attributes of the silver token quickly appeared before his eyes.
[Oddity: Beidou Seven Stars Hall · Yaoguang Star Token]
[Quality: Silver]
[Convertible: No]
[Note: A mysterious entry token for the "Beidou Seven Stars Hall." Once activated, it allows temporary entry into the Beidou Seven Stars Hall, which encompasses the Supreme Order, ensuring absolute safety for the entrant.]
[Note 2: Token cannot be activated voluntarily]
[Note 3: Next activation: 2.5/10 (years)]
After reading the token's attributes, Song Chi's eyes narrowed slightly. His mind transformed into a high-speed computer, calculating something intensely.
From the token's attribute panel, it was clear that the [Yaoguang Star Token] was a special entry token that could allow entry into the [Beidou Seven Stars Hall].
As for what the [Beidou Seven Stars Hall] actually was, whether it was similar to the Bosa Inheritance Tower or the Multiverse Market, this was currently unknown.
However, the final note about the activation time was a significant restriction.
Opening once every 10 years, and unable to be entered voluntarily during that period, this was clearly far inferior to the Multiverse Market.
"Yurou specially left this token for me, there must be a reason. So, what could it be?"
"Does she also have one of these tokens?"
"Or does she want me to use the advantages and conveniences of this token to quickly enhance myself and my flagship's combat power?"
"Or perhaps this token has other secrets that are unknown?"
In a few breaths, multiple speculations surfaced in his mind. However, no matter how hard he tried, it was clearly impossible to get an answer in the short term.
Everything would have to wait until two and a half years later, when the Yaoguang Star Token activates, and he can enter the [Beidou Seven Stars Hall], to find the final answer.
He absorbed the token into his Flame Seed Ancestral Aperture. As an oddity, it naturally could be absorbed into the Flame Seed Ancestral Aperture like other star sea oddities and components.
With a deep breath, Song Chi stopped thinking about it and left the Ruinsmarket.
Outside, in the Sky Dome.
After Song Chi's figure appeared, the hovering warship once again sped off, turning into a streak of light that quickly disappeared into the dark starry sky.
The star gate ticket provided by Answei was a round-trip ticket. As long as he returned within the specified time, he could still use the teleportation array in the Golden Shark Star Region to directly return to the Golden Dragon Star Region, saving a lot of time.
Several days later, in the Morning Star Yang Land.
Piercing through the clouds in the sky, the Sky Dome descended toward the location of the Sky Rush Valley.
At the same time, Song Chi proactively sent a thank-you message to Answei.
Although he did not get specific information on Shen Yurou's whereabouts and results, it at least gave him hope, and all of this was due to Answei's help. A thank-you was in order.
"How is it?"
A reply quickly came from the other side.
Song Chi only replied with a single "sigh" and did not say more, nor did he reveal the Yaoguang Star Token.
He currently knew very little about the Yaoguang Star Token and was completely unfamiliar with its value. Revealing it rashly would be extremely unwise.
Just a single entry token was of silver quality, indicating that the [Beidou Seven Stars Hall] behind it must have a very high rank.
This made him think of the [Bosa Inheritance Tower].
Both had a high rank and required teleportation to reach, sharing many similarities.
The value of the [Bosa Inheritance Tower] was undeniable. The only golden component currently installed on the Sky Dome came from it, and Song Chi still vividly remembered the terrifying battle that followed.
Countless creatures of Fourth Rank and above attacking simultaneously turned that star region into a starry hell.
Since then, Song Chi had a deeper understanding of the principle that "great value brings great danger." The higher the value and the greater the benefit, the greater the danger and the more lethal the threats that accompanied them.
After all, that battle was ultimately triggered by the [Bosa Meditation Seal].
Seeing Song Chi's lack of enthusiasm, Answei, who had many thoughts, did not reply again. In her view, it was best not to disturb Song Chi at this time.
...
Back in the Sky Rush Valley, Song Chi forced himself to enter a new round of daily cultivation.
Under these circumstances, time passed quickly.
Just when he thought he would continue in this way until the Immortal Continent Fragment opened, a second interruption occurred.
However, this time it was not related to Shen Yurou or the Shen Family, but rather a summons from his own ancestor.
"Ancestor Ru has also come to the Morning Star Yang Land?"
When he first received the notification, Song Chi's first thought was surprise, followed by speculations about why Ancestor Ru had summoned him.
"Is it about the suppression of Anlock Stark, or the Source Hunt Civilization and the 'Core Extraction Device'?"
With a hint of confusion, Song Chi steered the Sky Dome to the main estate in Sky Rush Valley.
"Grandson greets Elder Ru!"
In the main hall of the estate, Song Chi bowed to the person seated at the head of the hall.
Through the corner of his eye, Song Chi noticed that Elder Ru, who hailed from the Earth Vein, looked like an ordinary middle-aged woman. She exuded no aura of a Fifth-Rank lifeform and smiled at him, then said softly:
"Your actions half a year ago were excellent, swift, and decisive. It was a display of the Song Clan's might. Some clans that don't recognize their place must indeed be dealt with, but there was one thing you did poorly."
Hearing the sudden shift in tone, Song Chi's heart instinctively skipped a beat.
"Grandson acknowledges his mistake and is willing to listen to Elder Ru's guidance!"
He had initially thought that Elder Ru would deliver a stern warning, but she didn't follow the usual script.
"Since you've made a move, you shouldn't have shown mercy. At the very least, you should have killed the servant who started the trouble to give the other party the maximum warning."
Song Chi was taken aback, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
He had long heard that Elder Ru had the most fiery temper in the clan, but he hadn't felt it much before. Now, it seemed the rumors were true.
But then he thought about it, and it was indeed the case. Back then, he couldn't bring himself to kill Anlock Stark, but a servant was no problem.
Just as he was thinking, Elder Ru spoke again, finally getting to the point.
She had specifically summoned Song Chi, and it wasn't just to praise him.
"Chi, the clan's elders have all carefully reviewed the information about the Source Hunt Civilization that you submitted. It indeed has great value to the clan, but a 3rd Tier Floating Land Core isn't very useful for the 5th Tier Dragon Spine Continent..."
Song Xingru paused here.
"The clan's consensus is to ask if you obtained the corresponding ship components?"
Hearing this, not just Song Chi, but also Song Xingru and all the clan elders who knew about this matter, understood the implications.
After all, the Source Hunt Mothership Song Chi had submitted included one that didn't have the "Core Extraction Device" installed, and the result was obvious given that the device couldn't be removed.
Song Chi had no intention of hiding this and had even done it on purpose.
He feigned a pained expression and took out the [Floating Continent Core Extraction Device].
When Song Xingru took the orange component, her face quickly showed obvious delight.
"Good, good... This component is of great value to the clan, especially recently. With its assistance, the Dragon Spine Continent might follow the Morning Star Yin Land and advance to the 6th Tier. At that time, Shiyuan might be able to make a breakthrough to the Sixth Rank..."
Hearing the old ancestor's words, which sounded more like a murmur, Song Chi asked curiously:
"Elder Ru, can the advancement of a floating land also increase the success rate of a warship's advancement?"
Song Xingru, coming out of her delight, thought for a moment before explaining:
"When a floating land advances, anyone who contributed to its advancement can benefit from the energy tide it generates. Since Flame Torch Warships are bound to us, they can also benefit from this energy tide."
"Of course, the energy tide generated by the advancement of floating lands of different tiers varies. To benefit a battleship, at least a 4th Tier floating land advancing to the 5th Tier is required."
Song Chi nodded, realizing that he hadn't heard about this before. Now, he had learned something new.
But he quickly shifted his gaze to the [Floating Continent Core Extraction Device] in Elder Ru's hand, his face showing obvious reluctance.
This scene was naturally captured by the old ancestor at the head of the hall.
Song Xingru chuckled, somewhat exasperatedly:
"Alright, I know you're reluctant, and no one will compete with you. However, the clan needs to borrow it for a while, with compensation. What do you want?"
Song Chi, who had already considered this, didn't hesitate and quickly gave his answer.
"Titanium Crystal, Law Stones, 5th Tier Floating Land Essence..."
A hint of surprise flashed in Song Xingru's eyes.
"You don't need 4th Tier Floating Land Essence?"
Song Chi shook his head. Over the past half year, he had synthesized nearly a thousand strands of 4th Tier Floating Land Essence, and with his previous stockpile, he now had more than a thousand. He really didn't need more.
(End of Chapter)Song Xingru nodded, then thought for a moment, and finally waved her hand, causing three piles of resources to appear in the main hall.
15,000 titanium crystals
1,500 law stones
20 strands of 5th-level floating land origin
Translated Line:
However, what was troubling him was that after uninstalling the "Floating Land Origin Core Theft Device" component, the energy supply problem on the Skybound reappeared.
At this time, Song Xingru continued to speak:
"These are just the family's reward for borrowing this component for the next few decades. The merit you earned from the hunting civilization is not included. Think again, what else do you want?"
These words were like music to Song Chi's ears, and he was overjoyed. He didn't think too much.
"Ancestor, I want a special component that enhances energy efficiency..."
Reporting the merit from the hunting civilization wouldn't directly reward a silver-quality engine, so he had to settle for a component with a similar effect to the "energy theft" property.
As it turned out, Song Xingru had such a component.
Multi-functional conversion furnace (lv0)
Quality: Purple
Property: Conversion effect increased by 25%
Consumption: 7/s (yin energy points)
No need for charging or buffering
Effect: Can convert multiple types of star energy to assist the warship engine, increasing energy supply by 45%.
Upgrade requirements: 7 strands of floating land origin (0th level), 700 yin energy points
Compared to the "Floating Land Origin Core Theft Device", this component's effect on energy supply was even better, as it was a single-purpose component, while the "Floating Land Origin Core Theft Device" had multiple functions.
The value of the two components didn't need to be compared.
Song Chi was very satisfied with this component.
He quickly returned to his mansion and began a new round of comprehensive upgrades for the Skybound.
The first component to be upgraded was the newly installed "Multi-functional Conversion Furnace", which was upgraded to lv40.
After the 4th level, its effect on energy supply increased to 90%, allowing the Skybound's energy supply to overflow once again, making it safe to upgrade other components.
The second component to be upgraded was the "Baisha Zen Seal".
Although it had been upgraded once before, due to the lack of titanium crystals, it was only upgraded to lv40. Now that all resources were abundant, and there were still over a thousand kilograms of time sand left, it was possible to upgrade this component to lv50.
After that, the " Mirage Pearl" was upgraded. This component's effect was significant, but it had only been upgraded to lv20, which Song Chi couldn't accept.
After a round of upgrades, this component was upgraded to lv50, and its attributes increased greatly.
Not only did it weaken the warship's susceptibility to illusions and mirages, but its stealth effect was also remarkable, with a high priority that made it difficult for other detection or radar components to discover the hidden Skybound.
After these three components, Song Chi was hesitant about which component to upgrade next.
Cannon
Radar
Energy shield
Hull armor
Special components
There were too many components that could be upgraded, and it was hard to say which one would be more beneficial to upgrade.
Of course, the "Xianyu Five Elements Energy Shield" and "Neutron Star Core Armor" combination components could also be considered.
