Chapter 380: The Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token
Chapter 380: The Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token
"What kind of token will it be this time?"
From a distance, as soon as Song Chi laid eyes on this token, countless speculations flooded his mind.
Bronze Token: Multiverse Guest Token
Silver Token: Multiverse Travel Token
What could this golden token be? With intense anticipation and curiosity, he strode into the room.
His right hand touched the golden token, and the next second, a vast amount of information appeared in his mind out of thin air.
【Name: Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token】
【Affiliation: Multiverse Bazaar (Song Chi)】
【Usage Count: 1/1】
【Cooldown Time: 50 (years)】
【Effect: Regardless of location, the token can be actively activated. After receiving a response and permission from the Sovereign of the Vast Market, the token will act as an anchor point, proactively attracting the projection of the Sovereign to descend and provide protection to the activator, or take action against hostile forces within the projected area.】
【Effect 2: The creature that obtains this Projection Token can actively activate the token regardless of their location in the Shattered Star Sea. Upon activation, the token will transport the activator into a dedicated "Projection Chamber" with the authority to stay there at will. When the activator returns or is expelled by the Sovereign, they will be transported back to the location before entering the marketplace along with the token. During the period when the marketplace transaction is not open, the token owner cannot leave the Projection Chamber.】
【Introduction: The products derived from the Multiverse Bazaar possess unimaginable power.】
【Note: Only the Sovereign of the Vast Market can set the token distribution rules.】
【Note 2: The Sovereign of the Vast Market has the authority to recall the token at any time.】
【Note 3: The Sovereign can voluntarily sacrifice a Silver Legendary Artifact to immediately restore the usage count of a cooled-down token.】
After reading through the attributes, Song Chi was first stunned, and then elation followed.
He had just mentioned that the new Dominant Persona trait didn't have much use, and it was useless outside of the marketplace.
But the appearance of this Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token perfectly made up for that. When he was within the marketplace, he had genuine Dominant power, which meant that the projection formed by the Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token would have formidable power.
With this, the Dominant power that could only be controlled within the marketplace could now be borrowed to wreak havoc outside.
In other words, this token could serve as another trump card for the Azure Sky, and it would be a game-changer.
Although for the Projection Token to take effect, he must be personally present in the Multiverse Bazaar.
However, don't forget that with this promotion of the marketplace, an additional usable spatial anchor point has emerged. Subsequently, he can set this spatial anchor point on the Azure Sky, allowing him to freely enter and exit the marketplace even when the warship is cruising at the speed of light, without worrying about the issue of exiting the marketplace later.
With this issue resolved, the other problems became much simpler.
For example, when the Azure Sky encounters a formidable enemy and is unable to resist, Song Chi can hand over control of the warship to the Skydome AI, then enter the marketplace, and have the enslaved beings on the Azure Sky activate the Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token. At that time, they will be able to directly confront the enemy with a Dominant projection.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible this method seemed, and Song Chi also felt excited about the upcoming addition of this game-changing trump card on the Azure Sky.
However, this elation didn't last long, as Song Chi soon thought of another point.
The cooldown time of the Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token was as long as 50 years. Although it could be restored by sacrificing a Silver Artifact, what was a Silver Legendary Artifact?
It was an Artifact with a rank as high as Seventh Rank. Even in the hands of powerful Dominant beings, it was a primary Artifact, and its rarity was terrifying.
50 years and a Silver Legendary Artifact.
Whichever of the two it was, it meant that the Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token could only be used as a final trump card and not casually.
Once he understood this, the joy in his heart remained, but it wasn't as ecstatic as before.
His gaze refocused on the Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token in his hand, and after pondering for a while, he waved his hand and added two new annotations to the Projection Token.
【Note 4: One Silver Artifact can grant one usage of this token.】
【Note 5: After exchanging for this token, the exchanger only has 50 years of control over the token. If it is not used within 50 years, the token will be recalled, and no Artifacts will be refunded.】
The reason for adding these two notes was to prevent the issue of not using it after the exchange. After all, there were only five Multiverse Marketplace Projection Tokens, and if the exchanged Alien beings never used them, wouldn't he only be able to obtain five Silver Artifacts in the future?
No, it should be four, or maybe even three.
One should be kept for his parents, and one for Shen Youran in the future. Song Chi also needed to keep one for himself.
Additionally, this token could be used for some of the family's major actions, such as when the ancestors attempt to break through to Sixth Rank or even plan for Seventh Rank.
If there's a Dominant power to assist, it would undoubtedly increase the success rate significantly and might even push the Dinghai Song Clan into the ranks of the Immortal Clans.
Thinking of this, Song Chi hesitated.
After a long time, he still modified Note 4 and Note 5.
【Note 4: Two Silver Artifacts can grant one usage of this token.】
【Note 5: After exchanging for this token, the exchanger only has 50 years of control over the token. If it is not used within 50 years, the token will be recalled, and only one Silver Artifact will be refunded.】
Star Sea Aliens who can exchange a Silver Legendary Artifact for the Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token are already very few, which means that only a small portion of Star Sea Aliens with a powerful background can afford to play this game.
For these Star Sea Aliens, the difference between one Silver Artifact and two may not be that significant.
But for Song Chi, the gap was enormous.
By using two Silver Legendary Artifacts as the exchange price, even if he sacrifices one to restore the usage count, he can still earn one each time, and at a critical moment, he can even use the earned Silver Artifact to recharge the Projection Token in his hand.
This could slightly alleviate the issue of having insufficient Multiverse Marketplace Projection Tokens. Even if only one or two Projection Tokens could be distributed to those Star Sea Aliens in the future, they wouldn't have to wait for that long 50 years.
Having made his decision, Song Chi naturally didn't think further.
After calming his mind, he first held the first Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token in his hand, prioritizing the safety of the Azure Sky.
After doing all this, he didn't rush to leave. Not planning to distribute this first Projection Token didn't mean he didn't have a second one.
During the previous transaction with the Qingtian Clan, when they purchased all the Artifacts, they also traded quite a few Fourth Stage Floating Continent Essences. Additionally, Song Chi himself had obtained numerous Fourth Stage Floating Continent Essences from the Remnant Stone, and over the past few decades, the marketplace had occasionally traded some Fourth Stage Floating Continent Essences as well.
The Multiverse Marketplace had just advanced to the fourth rank, and its transaction volume had already exceeded the limit. At this time, it was entirely possible to further strengthen the marketplace by two levels.
To level up from 40 to 41, 50,000 Fourth-Stage Floating Continent Essence transaction quota was required.
To level up from 41 to 42, 60,000 Fourth-Stage Floating Continent Essence transaction quota was needed.
With the more than 120,000 strands of Fourth-Stage Floating Continent Essence accumulated from before, Song Chi directly enhanced the marketplace to level 42.
The moment the marketplace advanced to level 42, the second room on the fourth floor of the inn, the Multiverse Marketplace Projection Chamber, was also unlocked.
Holding the second Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token, Song Chi left the inn, heading straight for the Ultra-Long Range Spatial Gate Random Deployment Station within the marketplace.
With all the changes in the marketplace clearly visible, and with another Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token in hand as a grand finale for the upcoming auction, he was naturally eager to initiate the first marketplace transaction after advancing to the fourth rank.
However, before officially activating the Ultra-Long Range Spatial Gate Random Deployment Station, Song Chi first made a trip to the marketplace entrance.
In the most prominent position at the corner of the Multiverse Marketplace Transaction Rule Hologram at the marketplace entrance, where the introduction of the Multiverse Marketplace Guest Token, Travel Token, and Sale Listing Token was displayed, Song Chi chose to list the detailed information of the Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token.
There were two benefits to doing this.
First, it would allow the Star Sea aliens who entered the marketplace through the spatial gateway to immediately know about the existence of the Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token. If these aliens had backing from powerful forces, they would undoubtedly target the Projection Token, allowing them to prepare high-grade artifacts in advance.
Second, it would also inform the regular customers of the marketplace who already possessed the Guest Token and Travel Token about the existence of the Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token. If they were interested, they could also prepare in advance, either by using their own resources or borrowing the Travel Tokens of other aliens to notify their backing forces.
As far as Song Chi knew, several of the regular customers of the marketplace had the capability to do so.
The Northern Sea Royal Court backing Deguen
Luofu Sword Sect backing Zhou Ping
The force behind the Third-Stage Half-Ratman
The Treeman Royal Court backing the Treeman Clan
Of course, it was up to these forces to decide whether they would be interested in the Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token.
After completing this, Song Chi proceeded to enhance the Omniproperty Training Room, Shadow Energy Defense Array, and Ultra-Long Range Spatial Gate Random Deployment Station to level 42, one after the other.
A loud buzzing sound reverberated, and the Ultra-Long Range Spatial Gate Random Deployment Station, which had been dormant for nearly two years, was activated once again.
Immediately, 1,040 rays of light shot into the sky, and as they were deployed to unknown star seas, the corresponding number of spatial gateways appeared outside the marketplace.
Unlike the previous third-rank marketplace, due to the increased number of spatial gateways, there was no need to wait, and soon, a gateway was activated, followed by the entry of some cautious and peculiar aliens into the marketplace.
From his position at the innermost part of the marketplace, Song Chi's expression remained unchanged as he observed these diverse aliens with an omniscient gaze.
He naturally paid no attention to the ordinary aliens, as he had already encountered countless peculiar aliens during the hundreds of marketplace transactions held so far. Only those with exceptional potential could capture the attention of the Sovereign of the Vast Market.
As soon as an alien entered the inn, there was a commotion on the other side.
As expected, it was Luke.
The nearly two-year hiatus in marketplace transactions had made Luke anxious, as he viewed each transaction as a significant source of income.
As usual, Luke rushed to the Mineral Resource Shop with his portable folding spatial box, but this time, the number of Terra Stones he required had increased from two million to four million.
After completing the transaction, Luke wore a proud smile, and in his heart, he boasted, "After decades of accumulation, the great Lord Thor's Manor has once again expanded its trading channels. In the future, the number of Terra Stones traded will only increase, and the great Luke will one day lead the Viscount's Manor to the pinnacle of the empire!"
With a roar in his heart, Luke instinctively made a trip to the marketplace entrance, his cunning triangular eyes scanning the Multiverse Marketplace Transaction Rule Hologram. This was something he did every time there was a marketplace transaction.
All the regular customers of the marketplace knew that the mysterious Sovereign of the Vast Market would occasionally introduce new items, such as new Multiverse Marketplace Tokens.
Although he hadn't exchanged the previous Multiverse Marketplace Travel Token, it didn't mean that he and the Viscount's Manor behind him weren't interested in these wondrous Multiverse Marketplace Tokens.
This casual glance caused Luke's initially indifferent gaze to suddenly freeze, and then his eyes lit up with indescribable brilliance.
The Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token, a projection of the Sovereign of the Vast Market.
Clearly, the Projection Token had piqued Luke's interest, and he was nearly driven mad by it.
All the regular customers of the marketplace were well aware of the terror of the mysterious Sovereign of the Vast Market. He was undoubtedly a great existence of the Dominant Persona rank. If they could have a projection of such a being as their trump card, Luke believed that the Viscount's Manor behind him would spare no effort to exchange for the Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token.
However, the brilliance in his eyes soon dimmed as the restrictions of two silver legendary artifacts and a 50-year usage period were too significant, at least for the Viscount's Manor.
Although the Lord Thor's Manor had a long heritage and some resources, it had declined for several thousand years, making it challenging to produce two silver legendary artifacts at once.
Nevertheless, Luke resolutely ran towards Song Chi, who had already appeared in the marketplace under the guise of the Blueblood Clan.
Regardless, he needed to return to the Viscount's Manor to seek the decision of the elders.
"What's up?"
Seeing the earth spirit Luke running towards him with a clear purpose, Song Chi asked, even though he already knew the answer.
At this moment, Luke's face no longer bore his usual stingy and comical expression; instead, it was filled with solemnity.
"Borrow your Multiverse Marketplace Travel Token once, and this purple artifact will be your reward!"
As he spoke, he took out a purple artifact from his body without hesitation and threw it directly to Song Chi.
Song Chi had no intention of refusing, as the more people who wanted the Multiverse Marketplace Projection Token, the more he would profit from it later.
So, without hesitation, Song Chi threw the Travel Token into Luke's hands.
"There you go, take it!"
After receiving the Multiverse Marketplace Travel Token, Luke quickly ran towards the inn.
And like Luke, there were others in the marketplace with the same intentions at that moment.
