Chapter 351: Golden - The Golden Sacred Domain Component
Chapter 351: Golden - The Golden Sacred Domain Component
Heavy breaths lingered for a long time, even after completing the challenge, Song Chi's mind instinctively replayed everything that had transpired.
In hindsight, activating the 'Heaven Tilt·Dome Sky Autonomous System' feature of the Dome Sky Intelligence System component was indeed the right decision.
Under the silver mind's overburdened computational efficiency, the Dome Sky Intelligence System utilized every available component on the cob alt number to its fullest potential, executing a series of seamless maneuvers in just a few seconds, turning the tide of battle.
However, one shouldn't focus solely on this aspect; instead, it's more important to recognize that the cob alt number played all its trump cards, yet it only managed to destroy the shell of the Fifth Rank Celestial Serpent Warship, and the Fifth Rank Eight-armed Serpent Fiend within remained unharmed. If it weren't for the Flaming Tyrant Giant, a subjugated beast of the same rank, the outcome could have been much worse.
After reviewing the entire process, Song Chi's final conclusion was that this method of combat could only be used as a last resort and should never be taken lightly. Even against fifth-rank biological units, utmost caution must be exercised, and they should never be underestimated.
As he mentally reviewed the battle, a faint repulsive force suddenly descended upon him. When Song Chi looked outside the warship, he realized that in the blink of an eye, the cob alt number had appeared within a majestic hall.
Looking up through the external holographic projection on the ship's body, he saw an ancient star shining with infinite starlight suspended high above the hall. Although it didn't seem too far from the cob alt number, in Song Chi's field of vision, it felt as if an endless expanse of time and space separated them.
This ancient star, shining with dazzling starlight, hung in the distant starry river, illuminating the boundless starry sea with its brilliant light and suppressing the demons and monsters lurking in the depths of the dark starry sky.
"Yaoguang Star!" Song Chi exclaimed subconsciously.
Although he had never seen the appearance of the Yaoguang Star among the Beidou Seven Stars, his intuition told him that the ancient star hanging above was the legendary Yaoguang Star, known in both his past and present lives.
As if sensing his call, the ancient star trembled slightly, and then starlight began to gather in Song Chi's eyes, eventually forming a starlight display screen in front of him.
On the starlight display screen, lines of Flame Torch characters were listed, recording his final trial results and rewards.
"Yaoguang 32 Star Command Challenger, you have successfully passed 61 trials, and the Yaoguang Star Tower has evaluated your performance as 86, granting you a reward of 860% Star Tower Shop Credits, along with a double Yaoguang Chaos Monument insight opportunity and additional double Star Tower Credits for passing two major ranks."
"Yaoguang 32 Star Command Challenger, your current Star Command account balance is as follows: Law Monument insight opportunity 6 (3×2), Star Tower Credits 21,672 { (Small Trial reward 610 + Major Trial reward 650) × 860% × 2 }."
Upon reading this, Song Chi's eyebrows rose.
Shop credits? He had assumed that the final challenge reward would be a ready-made Starsea Rarity or a high-rank Floating Continent Essence, but he never expected it to be Star Tower Shop Credits and Yaoguang Chaos Monument insight opportunities.
Confused, he asked tentatively, "May I ask, what are Star Tower Shop Credits and Yaoguang Chaos Monument, and what are they used for?"
In response to his question, another line of text appeared on the virtual starlight screen.
"Star Tower Shop Credits are the universal currency of the official Yaoguang Star Tower Shop, which can be used to purchase items in the Yaoguang Star Tower Shop."
"Yaoguang Chaos Monument is a heritage monument passed down by the Star Masters of the Yaoguang Star Tower throughout history, containing the profound laws and secrets of the Starsea Origin and insights."
After reading this reply, Song Chi's eyes lit up.
"I have one more question. What is the relationship between the Beidou Seven Stars Hall and the Yaoguang Star Tower...?"
As he opened his mouth to ask the next question, a repulsive force acted upon him, cutting him off before he could finish.
Dragon Backbone Continent, above Qingyue Lake.
"What's this? It sent me back directly?" Song Chi wondered, his gaze quickly shifting to the silver token in his hand, and his heart relaxed.
"Artifact: Beidou Seven Stars Hall·Yaoguang 32 Star Command"
"Quality: Silver"
"Conversion: None"
"Note: The mysterious entrance token to the 'Beidou Seven Stars Hall·Yaoguang Star Tower', which can be temporarily activated to enter the Beidou Seven Stars Hall·Yaoguang Star Tower. The Yaoguang Star Tower encompasses supreme order rules, ensuring absolute safety for those who enter."
Unbeknownst to Song Chi, the previous Yaoguang Star Command had transformed into the Yaoguang 32 Star Command, and the restrictions on voluntary activation and the ten-year time limit had been completely lifted.
It was clear that the previous token was merely a trial challenge token, and only after he successfully completed the challenge did it truly transform into the Beidou Seven Stars Hall.
The Entry Token.
However, based on the notes, it seemed that the Beidou Seven Stars Hall had divided the Star Tower into multiple towers. This token only granted access to the Luminous Star Tower.
Without hesitation, Song Chi placed the token on his forehead once more.
Joking aside, after over two months of strenuous challenges and exhausting the Cob Alt Number's trump cards, it would take more than a year to recover to his peak state. With such a huge investment, it was only natural to claim the rewards first.
As the Flame Seed essence swept over him, the token in his hand glowed with silver light.
In the unknown starry sky, on the Eternal Celestial Wall, within the grand hall of the Luminous Star Tower, more than twenty holographic figures stood silently, their gazes fleetingly glancing towards the side where the Login Star Platform was located, awaiting the appearance of a particular figure.
Even after more than ten minutes, everyone's hearts remained unsettled.
The Flame Warship, with its myriad of bizarre Starsea Rarities, was indeed capable of cross-tier combat, but such combat did not guarantee cross-tier kills, especially when the gap was as wide as two tiers, and the opponent was the formidable Eight-Armed Serpent Fiend.
Therefore, everyone was curious about the new member, number 32.
At that moment, all eyes turned towards the Login Star Platform, where a spatial disturbance was detected, and a brand-new holographic projection of a human figure appeared.
Before he could observe his surroundings, Song Chi looked down at his own body, which was formed by ethereal light and had no physical substance. He felt a bit uncomfortable, as this was his first time experiencing projection.
When he turned around, he finally looked at his surroundings.
Seeing more than twenty figures gazing at him in the grand hall, he wasn't overly surprised.
After all, the star token in his hand had already indicated that he was number 32, and it wasn't difficult to deduce that there had been dozens of members in the Luminous Star Tower before him.
As he stepped down from the Login Star Platform, the holographic projections in the Star Tower's grand hall began to greet him.
"Number 32, welcome to our Luminous Star Tower family. I'm number 22, Red Fox."
"Welcome, number 19, Scorching Sun."
...
As the introductions continued, Song Chi nodded in response, and through this initial exchange, he learned that including himself, the Luminous Star Tower had only 30 members. Among them, numbers 5 and 14 had perished hundreds and thousands of years ago, respectively, but their star tokens had not yet been reactivated.
Additionally, most members of the Star Tower would choose a codename, though using their real names was also acceptable.
Song Chi thought for a moment and then casually chose a codename that left a deep impression from his past life.
"Greetings, seniors. I am 'Jingzhi'. Please guide me in the future."
In the grand hall, more than twenty figures nodded. Although 'Jingzhi' didn't say much, he was much more approachable than 'White Eyebrows', who was truly 'high and cold'.
After chatting with the others for a while, Song Chi finally asked, "Where is the Star Tower Shop?"
No one was surprised by this question. When they had first passed the Star Tower trial, they too had been eager to find the shop, curious about the secrets behind the mysterious Luminous Star Tower.
Finally, guided by the others, Song Chi arrived at a corner on the inner side of the Star Tower's grand hall, where a shop window was located.
After expressing his gratitude, Song Chi immediately focused his attention on the shop window.
The layout of the Star Tower Shop was very similar to the Flame Torch Bureau's online shop, with numerous items neatly arranged from top to bottom.
Song Chi scanned through the items, his eyes quickly passing over them.
【Red Energy Shield】
【Orange Premium Evolution Fire Source】
【Sixth Rank Eight-armed Serpent Origin Dual Eyes】
【Silver Ship-mounted Engine】
【Silver Artifact Weapon】
【Star Sky Plant "World Tree" Fifth Rank Fruit】
For a moment, he felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of items, each with an exorbitant price.
In a short time, Song Chi had already spotted several items that piqued his interest.
For example, there was a silver-quality main cannon for the warship.
Annihilation Spear lv0
Quality: Silver
Attribute: Punishment Spear
Attribute 2: True Armor Piercing
Attribute 3: Double Strike
Attribute 4: Attack Power Boost 110%
...
Exchange Required Credits: 3500
————
Additionally, there was a golden-quality energy shield.
Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield lv0
Quality: Gold
Attribute: Two Instruments · Damage Reduction
Attribute 2: True Shield
Attribute 3: Energy Shield Value increased by an additional 140%
Attribute 4: Shield Protection Value increased by an additional 140%
Attribute 5: Yin-Yang · Mutual Generation
...
Exchange Cost: 30,000 Star Tower Credits
————
Without a doubt, Song Chi was extremely tempted by the Yin-Yang Counterbalance Annihilation Shield component, as its attributes were clearly more powerful than the Immortal Realm Quintessential Energy Shield component.
The "Two Instruments · Damage Reduction" attribute had no restrictions on Five Elements Energy like the "Five Elements Rotation · Mutual Generation and Counteraction" attribute, and it had damage reduction effects against the majority of energy attacks.
Secondly, the "Yin-Yang · Mutual Generation" attribute allowed the energy shield to restore its shield value on its own, although it overlapped somewhat with the effect of the "Neutron Star Core Pulse" attribute, it could still increase the shield value recovery speed.
Unfortunately, even with the outstanding results from his previous challenges, the points in his Star Command account were still insufficient. With only around 20,000 points, he could only afford to exchange for ordinary gold-tier Sacred Realm Artifacts, and he was still far from being able to afford this premium energy shield.
As he sighed, his gaze continued to move downward, and he quickly spotted an even more premium gold-tier component, and it was the gold-tier engine that the Shining Star had been urgently needing.
Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine lv0
Quality: Gold
Attribute: Power Supply Efficiency increased by an additional 135%
Attribute 2: Engine Thrust increased by an additional 135%
Attribute 3: Hyperload Burst
Attribute 4: All components on the loaded warship with a quality equal to or lower than this part consume 10% less energy.
Attribute 5: Antimatter Source Evolution
Consumption: 50/s (Shadow Energy Points)
Power Supply: 940/s (Shadow Energy Points)
Overload Buffer: 30 minutes
Shadow Energy Pool: 40,000 (Can store 40,000 Shadow Energy Points)
Upgrade Requirements: 40 Strands of High Rank Floating Continent Essence (Zero Rank), 4,000 Shadow Energy Points
{Hyperload Burst: Consumes 80,000 Shadow Energy Points, the engine immediately enters the hyperload operation mode, power supply efficiency increased by 300%, thrust increased by 300%, lasts for 10 minutes, and the buffer time is 240 hours.}
{Antimatter Source Evolution: This engine can slowly evolve by consuming high-purity antimatter sources. When the consumed antimatter sources reach a certain quantity, the quality of this engine will be improved to above gold (Note: After evolving to the maximum, this attribute can be independently transformed into a brand-new attribute).}
Exchange Cost: 45,000 Star Tower Credits
The first three attributes need no further explanation, as they are essential attributes for engine components. Song Chi valued the fourth and fifth attributes the most.
The fourth attribute allows all components loaded on the warship to collectively reduce energy consumption. Don't underestimate the 10% reduction; when enhanced to the maximum, it will undoubtedly significantly reduce the overall energy consumption of the warship. For a Flame Warship, this effect is extremely powerful.
It's worth noting that when reaching the level of a Fearless Ship or Star Destroyer, each Flame Warship will have three-digit components. With so many components, the power supply components of the warship face a severe test.
However, this attribute means that no matter how many components the warship loads in the future, it will be effective for all "Gold and below" components. If it can evolve successfully in the future, it will even be effective for components above the Sacred Realm.
Additionally, the fifth attribute, "Antimatter Source Evolution," is the most powerful attribute of this gold-tier engine. As an evolution-type attribute, it indicates that this engine component has great potential and may evolve to higher qualities in the future.
As for the antimatter source, Song Chi knew that it must be extremely rare; otherwise, this component would have been exchanged by other members of the Shining Star Tower long ago. But he was different, with access to the Multiverse Bazaar, his chances of collecting antimatter sources in the future would far surpass those of other Flame Warship captains.
However, what made Song Chi even more worried was that this component's price was as high as 45,000 Star Tower Credits, and his Star Command account balance was still far from sufficient.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously asked:
"Are there any other ways to obtain Star Tower Credits besides trial challenges?"
Hearing his question, a member on the side replied:
"There are many ways to obtain Star Tower Credits, such as hunting members of the Eight-armed Serpent Civilization. However, this method is difficult to obtain a large number of credits in a short time because fourth rank and below Eight-armed Serpents are not counted towards credits.
Additionally, you can also proactively exchange various unique resources, mid to high rank Star Sea Artifacts, and other items. The Star Tower Intelligence will independently assess their value."
