Chapter 355: Return and Battleship Enhancement, Song Mingsong Officially Enters the Fourth Rank
Chapter 355: Return and Battleship Enhancement, Song Mingsong Officially Enters the Fourth Rank
Golden Artifacts, Luminous Star Tower, Civilizational Great Wall, Celestial Serpent Mother Ship... All of these were things that Song Chi, at his current level, should not have had access to. Yet, through a single Yaoguang Star Token, he had forcefully crossed this tier in just over two months.
This made it clear how valuable the Yaoguang Star Token in his hand was.
However, to his disappointment, he had already inquired about the Northern Heavenly Mansion of the Bright Han Kingdom among the Star Tower members, but he had not received any information related to Shen Youran. This Yaoguang Star Token was purely a means for that girl to help him quickly enhance his strength and status.
Thinking of this, the longing in his heart grew stronger, but he had no other choice but to force himself to restrain his feelings.
Not long after, the cannon fire outside the Star Tower gradually subsided.
As expected, with such a commotion, the other two Frandia Kingdom fleets responsible for reinforcing the various sections of the Great Wall soon arrived. Seeing no need to continue, the Celestial Serpent Mother Ship was extremely decisive and quickly departed with over 1.5 million Celestial Serpent Warships.
In general, this was just an insignificant battle on the frontline of the Civilizational Battlefield, with both sides suffering a total loss of over 100,000 warships. However, compared to a full-scale civilizational group battle, this was not even a drop in the ocean.
When the Star Tower members casually mentioned this evaluation, Song Chi's eyes twitched unconsciously several times.
For him, a fleet battle of this scale was the largest he had ever witnessed, but in the eyes of the Star Tower elders, it was just an insignificant skirmish.
Shaking his head, Song Chi stopped thinking about it.
After a brief moment of astonishment, he quickly adjusted his mindset.
As a member of the Luminous Star Tower, he would undoubtedly experience such large-scale legion battles in the future.
After "Corpse Dog" returned to the Star Tower, Song Chi took the initiative to bid farewell to everyone, as he still had many matters to attend to.
Before leaving, he had originally planned to inquire about the follow-up handling of the Light Energy Aggregation Engine.
With the Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine in his hand, as soon as he borrowed the Tri-Eye Soul Ring component from his family, this red engine, which had already been enhanced to the fifth-rank limit, would be replaced without damage. Therefore, he naturally needed to find a suitable person to take over beforehand.
However, after some thought, he did not rush to speak and directly canceled his login status.
The red engine at level 59 might be needed by a family member, and if not, he could always ask the members of the Luminous Star Tower later.
Alternatively, he could also give it to his grandfather. Although the Flame Seed Ship Body of the 'Angry Battle Lion' was only purple, don't forget that he had obtained two strands of orange Ascension Flame Source from the Fire Element Lifeform, one of which was an orange supreme quality. This could directly help his grandfather advance to the orange Flame Seed Ancestral Aperture.
However, he was still hesitant about this. Giving the orange supreme quality Ascension Flame Source to his grandfather was not a problem, but he himself did not have enough fifth-rank Floating Continent Essence. Currently, there were many fifth-rank components on the cob alt number that urgently needed enhancement.
Therefore, he was more inclined to trade the Light Energy Aggregation Engine at a fair price, offering a discount of one or two strands of fourth-rank Floating Continent Essence at most, and waiving all third-rank and below Floating Continent Essence. He believed that many Flame Torch Captains would be willing to trade.
On the Dragon Spine Continent, the cob alt number, with its spirit returned to reality, began to descend rapidly.
In the command room, instead of using the quantum communication bracelet to request the use of the Tri-Eye Soul Ring from his family, Song Chi continued to examine the Yaoguang Star Token in his hand.
At this moment, a virtual light screen appeared on the silver token, with information rapidly flashing on the screen.
Luminous Star Tower
17th "Jade Crystal": @32nd "Thunder Awaken", Sister, I can't get away, but I want to congratulate our new Star Tower member here!
26th "Black Fox": Likewise, I'm sorry, and welcome, little brother Thunder Awaken, to the Luminous Star Tower family.
3rd "Corpse Dog": Jade Crystal, how's it going over there? Do you need our help?
17th "Jade Crystal": Thank you, Uncle, I can handle it for now!
...
32nd "Thunder Awaken": Thank you.
Indeed, this was similar to the communication group chat function of a communication bracelet, although it lacked derivative functions like video projection and voice calls. However, it allowed free communication among Star Tower members across the vast expanse of the Flame Humans Galaxy Cluster, which was far superior to the quantum communication bracelet used by the Song family.
Putting away the Yaoguang Star Token
Song Chi tapped on his family's quantum communication bracelet and sent a message to the group chat, which was limited to a few dozen high-ranking family members.
"Lv. 59 Red Ship-mounted Engine. Interested elders can contact me privately."
Half an hour later, within the Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain.
As the 4th Rank inherited Deer Hunt Vessel activated the Tri-Eye Soul Ring component, Song Chi quickly dismounted the undamaged Light Energy Aggregation Engine.
Once the warship was recalled, the component was handed over to the waiting Elder Song Xuanfeng, a 4th Rank ancestor from the first direct lineage. His ship, the Great Mysterious Soulship, had always been equipped with an orange engine, so he had immediately contacted Song Chi after seeing the message.
In the end, Song Chi offered a 30% discount on all 4th Rank Floating Continent Essences and all lower-rank enhancements.
Even so, when the elder presented over 2,000 Titanium Crystals, hundreds of 5th Rank Floating Continent Essences, and hundreds of Lawstones, he still felt the pain of the cost. It was, after all, not a small amount of resources.
However, the thought of soon equipping his ship with the Lv. 59 red engine quickly dissipated his pain. When the Tri-Eye Soul Ring was activated, he had also effortlessly dismounted the orange engine from his ship, and now he could directly install the Light Energy Aggregation Engine.
...
At the underground warship summoning room in the Green Moon Estate.
With the resources obtained from Elder Song Xuanfeng in exchange for the Light Energy Aggregation Engine, Song Chi immediately returned to his lineage. He now had nearly 8,000 Titanium Crystals, 4th and 5th Rank Floating Continent Essences, and Lawstones, and he was eager to begin a new round of enhancements for the cob alt number.
First, he enhanced the Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine, a golden Sacred Realm component.
Without hesitation, Song Chi spent a total of 2,655 Titanium Crystals, 340 strands of 4th Rank Floating Continent Essences, and 1 strand of 5th Rank Floating Continent Essence to enhance the golden Sacred Realm component to Lv. 50.
Initially, he had planned to enhance it directly to Lv. 59, but upon realizing he had already used up a third of his Titanium Crystals, he had no choice but to abandon that idea, as there were still many other components that required enhancement.
Nevertheless, even at Lv. 50, the Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine's power supply efficiency far surpassed that of the Light Energy Aggregation Engine. Combined with the amplification from the Multi-Function Converter, the cob alt number's power supply surplus had reached an astonishing level.
Antimatter Energy Evolution Engine Lv. 50
Quality: Golden
Trait: Power Supply Efficiency increased by an additional 240%
Trait 2: Engine Thrust increased by an additional 240%
Trait 3: Hyperload Burst
Trait 4: Energy Consumption of all ship-mounted components of equal or lower grade than this part is reduced by 35%
Trait 5: Antimatter Source Evolution
Consumption: 845/s (Shadow Energy)
Power Supply: 46512/s ( Energy)
Overload Buffer: 30 minutes
Energy Pool: 1000000 (can store one million energy points)
Upgrade Requirements: 5 strands of 5th Rank Floating Continent Essence, 300000 energy points, 185 Titanium Crystals
{Hyperload Burst: Consumes 80000 energy points, the engine immediately enters the hyperload operation mode, power supply efficiency increased by 900%, thrust increased by 900%, lasts for 80 minutes, and the buffer time is 12 hours.}
After enhancing the golden engine, Song Chi proceeded to enhance the Black Gold Ram, Fallen Angel Warrior, and Shadowfall Chapter components.
Unsurprisingly, the Black Gold Ram and Fallen Angel Warrior were both enhanced to Lv. 50.
At the 5th Rank, the Fallen Angel Warrior component needed no introduction; it could summon a fifth-rank eight-winged fallen angel warrior puppet with formidable combat power.
The key was the Black Gold Ram; this component's attributes had undergone significant changes.
Black Gold Ram Lv. 50
Quality: Red
Trait: Armor Piercing increased by an additional 170%
...
Effect: Adds a retractable Black Gold Ram at the bow of the ship, increasing the ram's durability and armor piercing by 3600 each.
No charging or buffering required
Upgrade Requirements: 3 strands of 5th Rank Floating Continent Essence, 60000 energy points, 10 tons of Black Gold, 123 Titanium Crystals
{Black Gold Charge: While the Black Gold Ram is deployed, the ship can consume 80000 energy points to charge at 700% speed towards a designated direction, rapidly colliding with enemy units, doubling the impact damage for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 12 hours.}
After reaching the 5th Rank, this ram's destructive power received a terrifying boost. When used in conjunction with other suitable components on the cob alt number, it could unleash unimaginable destructive force.
Regarding the Shadowfall Chapter, Song Chi hesitated for a while before finally enhancing it to lv40. Firstly, this component was unlikely to be used in the short term, and secondly, he had consumed quite a bit of his Titanium Crystal and needed to conserve them.
After enhancing it to the fourth rank, the main change in this component was the improvement of the Shadowfall Medal trait.
{Shadowfall Medal: Consumes 40,000 Shadow Energy Points and 1 Intermediate Dark Energy Crystal to forge a Shadow Medal. Within a distance of 5,000 (2,500 x 2) light-years from the mounted warship, holding this Shadow Medal will allow the summoning of a projection of the mounted warship, lasting for 25 minutes. Current number of Shadow Medals that can be forged: 6/6 (Note: The Shadow Medal will automatically shatter after use.)}
The maximum projection distance increased from 1,000 light-years to 5,000 light-years, which, compared to the vast Star Sea, was insignificant. Still, Song Chi was quite satisfied, as it was only an orange-tier component after all.
In total, 3,990 Titanium Crystals were consumed to enhance these three components, leaving him with only 1,700 Titanium Crystals remaining. These were all he had left for enhancing other components.
As for which components to enhance next, the choice was simple. The Neutron Star Core Armor and Immortal Realm Elemental Shield, a combination of two components, were naturally the top priority. Additionally, the warship's main cannon also required enhancement.
As the enemies facing the Cob Alt Number became increasingly powerful, Song Chi felt that the ship's firepower components were somewhat inadequate. He needed to further enhance them.
The first component to be enhanced was not the energy shield or the ship's armor, but the Soul Annihilating Eye Cannon. As for the Pure Yang Sword Cannon, this orange-tier main cannon had no further value for enhancement, and Song Chi planned to replace it later.
Soon, 1,305 Titanium Crystals were used, and the red-quality Soul Annihilating Eye Cannon was enhanced directly to lv59.
After that, Song Chi spent 249 Titanium Crystals to enhance the Neutron Star Core Armor from lv50 to lv52, and then he used 154 Titanium Crystals to enhance the Immortal Realm Elemental Shield to lv51.
With this, all of his eight thousand Titanium Crystals were completely consumed, and he was back to square one.
However, in exchange, the Cob Alt Number experienced an all-around improvement in its attributes.
In the 004 Nurturing Realm, Song Chi stood beneath the Silver Apple Mother Tree, which had now reached the fifth rank, and sighed softly.
The "Realm Accelerator" trait had always been activated as soon as its cooldown ended, but the fifth-rank Silver Apple was far from easy to mature, which made Song Chi's desire to quickly enhance the purple components on the Cob Alt Number seem far-fetched.
As for the Light Law Tree and Space Law Tree in the rear, they had not borne fruit again either, and their cycles, though not as short as the Silver Apple Mother Tree's, were not much different.
...
In the Multiverse Bazaar, Song Chi once again embarked on his daily cultivation routine, just like before. He wanted to go to the Holy Dragon Continent and explore the fragments of the Immortal Realm Continent.
However, all of the warship's trump cards were currently in a cooldown state, so he didn't dare to venture out.
Instead of going out with a pounding heart and trembling hands, he might as well stay at home and cultivate for a year or so, waiting for all his trump cards to recover before taking the next step.
During this time, he also needed to carefully consider the subsequent arrangements for the Holy Dragon Continent.
A 5th-rank Star Sea Continent with multiple half-sixth-rank indigenous Demon Gods would undoubtedly require a long time to explore and hunt on his own.
If he reported the information about this continent to the family, the numerous old ancestors and elders of the clan could work together to complete the harvesting and development of the Holy Dragon Continent at the fastest speed. However, doing so would mean that the Spirit Source Essence he could obtain would be significantly discounted.
Both options had their pros and cons, and he needed to carefully consider his choice.
...
At the Blue Moon Estate, in the courtyard where Song Shan and his wife resided.
In the center of the courtyard, in the pavilion, Song Chi and Song Mingsong sat facing each other.
Feeling the dense fourth-rank life pressure from his grandfather, Song Chi's eyes lit up with joy.
"Congratulations, Grandpa, for breaking through to the fourth rank in Guiding Art and officially becoming a Deer Hunt Vessel Captain."
Hearing Song Chi's congratulations, Song Mingsong's smile widened.
After the promotion of the Furious Battle Lion to a Deer Hunt Vessel, sixteen years later, he finally advanced to the Star Sea Fourth Stage Life Form. From then on, he was a true Deer Hunt Vessel Captain, no longer needing the prefix of 'pseudo'.
