Chapter 377: Silver Twin Soul Amulet
Chapter 377: Silver Twin Soul Amulet
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.
There were only two months left until the Vast Market's promotion to the Fourth Tier, and Song Chi had initially thought that this final stretch would be as peaceful as the previous ten months. However, to his surprise, news suddenly arrived from his father and mother, stating that the Azure Sky and the Dragonfly were preparing to embark on their warship promotion missions.
This news was both expected and unexpected for Song Chi.
After his and his grandfather's status had improved, the development of the clan had soared in the past decade. Coupled with Song Chi's establishment of multiple stable trading channels in the Vast Market, the clan's annual profits had been increasing year after year.
With this foundation, the core members of the clan had no shortage of resources. Several years ago, his aunt had successfully advanced to the Third Tier, and his parents had been at the Second Tier for decades. The Azure Sky and the Dragonfly had already laid a solid foundation, and with the Great Expansion War approaching, it was not surprising that they chose this time to aim for the Cruiser rank.
What surprised Song Chi was that his parents decided to undertake their warship promotion missions simultaneously, which would undoubtedly be more challenging.
...
In the courtyard where his parents resided, seeing their son rushing in, Song Chao and Chen Lixia exchanged a smile, and before Song Chi could speak, they said:
"Chi, don't be hasty. Take a look at the detailed attributes of these two special components first..."
As they spoke, each of them took out a peculiar object resembling a jade pendant, both of which emanated a dazzling red glow, unmistakably two red-quality artifacts.
Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Song Chi's gaze fell upon these two epic artifacts.
In his impression, his parents were not impulsive individuals. Since they had chosen to advance together, which was clearly not the optimal decision, they must have had their reasons.
Yang Twin Soul Amulet lv0
Quality: Red
Attribute: Yin-Yang Ascension
Attribute 2: Yin-Yang Synergy
Attribute 3: Yin-Yang Unity
Consumption: 20/s (Shadow Energy Points)
Effect: When the Yin and Yang Twin Soul Amulets are bound together, they will mutually amplify each other, permanently increasing the firepower, defense, and speed of the equipped warships by 30% (effect ceases upon component removal).
No charging or buffering required.
Upgrade Requirements: 20 strands of Floating Continent Essence (Zero Tier) and 2,000 Shadow Energy Points.
Note: This component occupies 3 slots.
Note 2: The ranks of the bound warships must be the same, and binding can only be performed within one month after both warships have been promoted.
{Yin-Yang Ascension: When the Yin and Yang Twin Soul Amulets are successfully bound, the quality of the components will increase by one tier, and all attributes will also receive a corresponding boost (currently unbound).}
{Yin-Yang Synergy: Consumes 10,000 Shadow Energy Points. Allows the use of a specific ability from the other bound warship, provided the ability does not exceed that of the Silver Twin Soul Amulet itself. Cooldown time: 720 hours.}
{Yin-Yang Unity: The two bound warships, regardless of their distance, can communicate without barriers by spending a certain amount of Shadow Energy Points (based on the distance between them). This ability has no cooldown time.}
...
Yin Twin Soul Amulet lv0
Quality: Red
...
These two red components surprised Song Chi considerably. It was evident that they were a pair of true combination artifacts, not pseudo-combinations like the Neutron Star Core Armor and the Immortal Domain's Five Elements Cyclic Energy Shield.
Upon examining their detailed attributes, it was clear that once the two Twin Soul Amulets were successfully bound, their effects would be drastically enhanced.
However, the binding could only be performed right after the warships' promotions, which was why his parents chose to advance simultaneously.
To be honest, even with Song Chi's current experience, he couldn't help but feel envious.
He thought of Shen Youran; if the Azure Sky could be bound to her warship, it would undoubtedly benefit both parties greatly.
Of course, this idea quickly faded away. These Twin Soul Amulets were clearly the result of his parents' fortuitous encounters. If they could successfully bind them, their warships' combat power would significantly increase, and they might even have a chance to challenge for the positions of Deer Hunt Ship Captain or Battleship Captain.
Seeing that Song Chi no longer objected, a smile appeared on Song Chao and Chen Lixia's faces.
At this moment, Song Chi spoke up:
"It's fine to advance simultaneously, but I must accompany you throughout the next eleven months."
For two frigates to simultaneously aim for the Cruiser rank, the requirements for special promotion resources and the number of Star Sea aliens they needed to hunt were significantly higher. Song Chi could only feel at ease if the Azure Sky accompanied them throughout the entire journey.
"Mom and Dad, what about the four special resources needed for the Frigate's promotion to Cruiser? Have you gathered them?"
The four special resources typically required for a Frigate's promotion to Cruiser are the Sky Ridge Crystal, Ice Source Stone, Ten Thousand Year Volcanic Magma Iron Core, and Tier 3 Blood Core. If two people are promoting together, they will need to prepare two sets, as these resources can increase the success rate of the promotion by 10%. It's not something to be taken lightly.
Song Chao shook his head.
"The other three are manageable, but the Tier 3 Blood Core is extremely difficult to obtain. I hope we won't need it when we start the promotion task!"
Song Chi's brows furrowed. When it came to promotion, one couldn't rely on luck for such a critical matter.
"I'll ask around in the Ancestral Clan later. At the very least, we should be able to get one."
'If the clan doesn't have it, the Radiant Star Tower should be able to help!'
The second sentence was his inner thought, unspoken.
"Apart from that, there are some Aliens that can be hunted within the clan..."
Seeing Song Chi's determination to clarify everything, the Song couple smiled even more, knowing their son was concerned for their well-being. Finally, Chen Lixia spoke up:
"Thank you, son. Your father and I have already arranged everything. Your uncle and aunt will also come to help later. Now, let us talk!"
Song Chi paused, waiting for his parents to continue.
Across from him, Song Chao gathered his thoughts.
"It's like this. These two Yin-Yang Twinheart Pendants were discovered by your mother and me when we explored the Star Sea together. They were products of an extremely shattered secret realm, which was not yet in its perfect state. It was only recently that it fully matured, so your mother and I went to retrieve these jade pendants..."
Song Chao paused for a moment.
Song Chi didn't interrupt, knowing his father had more to say.
Indeed, after a moment, Song Chao continued, "When we went to retrieve these Yin-Yang Twinheart Pendants, your mother and I found that in that extremely shattered secret realm, there was another pair still maturing. However, due to the time it took for them to mature, they are only of purple quality now."
Song Chi was delighted and asked, "What do you mean, Dad?"
Song Chao didn't hesitate and quickly continued, "According to your mother and my judgment, that shattered secret realm is on the verge of collapse. It might completely crumble any day, and if we leave those Yin-Yang Twinheart Pendants to mature further, they might reach Orange quality, or they might disappear with the realm's destruction."
"Your mother and I think you should make this decision. Do you want to take the Purple quality Yin-Yang Twinheart Pendants now, or let them mature further?"
Song Chao and Chen Lixia initially thought Song Chi would be torn for a long time, but his response was decisive.
After a brief hesitation, Song Chi answered, "Since we can't predict when the secret realm will collapse, let's take them now. Purple quality isn't too bad, and I have a Fifth-Rank Silver Apple, which can directly upgrade the two Yin-Yang Twinheart Pendants to Orange quality."
Song Chao and Chen Lixia were surprised that their son possessed the rare resource of a Silver Apple, and they understood that an Orange quality Yin-Yang Twinheart Pendant, while not as good as a flawless one, was still highly valuable.
The next day, when the couple returned from the Alien Domain, they held a pair of Purple quality Yin-Yang Twinheart Pendants.
Compared to the Red quality Yin-Yang Twinheart Pendants, the Purple ones were significantly inferior.
Even without the 'Yin-Yang Ascension' trait, the binding effect only provided a 10% boost to firepower, defense, and speed for both warships.
Fortunately, the four Fifth-Rank Silver Apples cultivated in the secret realm's Silver Apple Mother Tree had recently ripened, and Song Chi had not yet used them.
After obtaining the Purple Yin-Yang Twinheart Pendants, he took out two Silver Apples and, in front of his parents, upgraded the pendants to Orange quality.
As the quality increased, the attributes of the Yin-Yang Twinheart Pendant components changed significantly.
Yang Twinheart Pendant lv0
Quality: Orange
Trait: Yin-Yang Ascension
Trait 2: Yin-Yang Synergy
Consumption: 10/s (Shadow Energy Points)
Effect: When the Yin-Yang Twinheart Pendants are bound together, they mutually amplify each other, permanently increasing the firepower, defense, and speed of the equipped warships by 20% (effect ceases upon component removal).
...
Indeed, Song Chi didn't need to actively upgrade the two Yin-Yang Twinheart Pendants.
As the Silver Apples were about to be promoted, two new traits appeared on the two Orange Twinheart Pendants: "Yin-Yang Synergy."
Song Chi attributed this to the unique nature of the secret realm or the Yin-Yang Twinheart Pendant itself.
Just after the promotion, his mother's voice immediately sounded.
"My dear, this Yin Twinheart Pendant can only belong to Yu Ran. I won't accept anyone else!"
Although Song Chi only replied with a simple "Mm-hmm," the determination in his tone was evident.
Ever since obtaining the Radiant Star Order, he had already made up his mind.
Before the Great Expansion War of the Yanhan Kingdom, he would try to promote the Azure Sky to a Deer Hunt Ship and then use the Crimson Blood Peach to help him break through his Guidance Technique.
After that, he would proactively go to the Northern Dome Star Region of the Yanhan Kingdom to try and bring back Shen Yu Ran. Even if he encountered irresistible factors along the way, he would at least meet that girl once and personally hand her a Multiverse Travel Token.
After putting away the pair of Orange Twinheart Pendants, Song Chi and his parents decided to officially start the warship promotion mission three days later and then head to the Alien Domain to hunt high-rank aliens.
When he returned to his own courtyard, he summoned the Azure Sky again.
He still had two Fifth-Rank Silver Apples in his hand.
Standing in the main control room of the warship, Song Chi's eyes showed hesitation.
The reason he hadn't immediately used the four Fifth-Rank Silver Apples earlier was also because of this.
His gaze shifted, and he looked at several components.
Currently, there were many components on the Azure Sky that could utilize the Fifth-Rank Silver Apples.
Phantom Propulsion, Water Molecule Isolation Membrane, Space Dodge Orb, Plasma Defense, Anomaly State Purifier, Holy Cross Beacon, Proportional Scaling Device, Void Membrane, Ultrasonic Geomagnetic Detector, Master-Servant Contract, Psychic Beam Fusion Device, False Binding Chain, Winged Deployment Platform, Multi-Functional Converter, Virus Spore Repulsion Membrane, Frostbloom Cannon, Electromagnetic Thunder Cannon
A total of seventeen components.
Of course, many of these could be excluded, but Song Chi was most conflicted about the Phantom Propulsion, Space Dodge Orb, Plasma Defense, Anomaly State Purifier, Void Membrane, and Master-Servant Contract.
If it were before, the Multi-Functional Converter would also be included, but with the installation of the golden Anti-Matter Evolution Engine component, the Azure Sky now had ample power supply and didn't need the converter.
The False Binding Chain was even simpler; Song Chi's goal from the beginning was the genuine red Binding Chain.
Scanning through the six components, Song Chi first confirmed the Space Dodge Orb. This component was a must-have for enhancement, not only because it was the only flash-dodge component on the Azure Sky and had played a significant role multiple times, but also because Song Chi had acquired an extremely high-quality component of the same type a few years ago from the Morning Star Floating Land.
Shadow Dancer lv0
Quality: Blue
Trait: +1 additional flash-dodge attempts
Consumption: 500/attempt (Shadow Energy Points)
No recharge required; Buffer: 72 hours
Flash-dodge attempts: 2/2
Effect: Flash-dodge in a chosen direction, current maximum flash-dodge distance 10m.
...
This blue component was also a flash-dodge component, and although its flash-dodge distance was pitiful, even if enhanced to the third rank, it could only dodge for a mile. Compared to star sea combat, this distance was negligible, but its trait was quite good.
It was because of this trait that Song Chi had decided to acquire it without hesitation.
Soon, the Space Dodge Orb component was upgraded to orange quality, and with this new trait, it could be used for consecutive flash-dodges in emergencies, further enhancing the Azure Sky's safety.
After the Space Dodge Orb, Song Chi hesitated for a while over the remaining five components and finally chose the Plasma Defense component.
Not because this component was the most valuable, but because its function was to provide protection for the captain, and the captain's safety was, of course, the most important.
Moreover, it could also be used on the Void Shadow Kill Clan and Fallen Angel Clan puppets, which was also quite good.
As for the new trait, Song Chi specifically chose it for the shield value to double.
