Chapter 393: The Roar Transit Device
Chapter 393: The Roar Transit Device
Taurus Star Domain, Radiant Star Mid-Range Gateway Station.
The dominant forces in the Taurus Star Domain were two families, each with a Battleship stationed in their respective first-rate Duchy. Although the domain wasn't particularly large, and its resources weren't superior among the twelve star domains of the Morning Star Duchy, the possession of the Mid-Range Gateway Station named "Radiant Star" still allowed the two families to enjoy a comfortable life.
Occasional incursions by Star Pirates were the only times when the two families would face some headaches.
For this reason, the Alpha Family and the Wu Family, both with their battleships in the Taurus Star Domain, would take turns stationing their ships at the Radiant Star Gateway Station.
Of course, all battleships were prohibited from engaging in any form of internal strife, a rule that even the Star Pirates couldn't violate. Otherwise, if they caused a big enough disturbance, it wouldn't even require the involvement of the Imperial Flame Bureau stationed by the Four Great Empires. The Morning Star Duchy and the Radiant Han Kingdom would never agree to such a situation.
The battleships of the Alpha Family and the Wu Family were primarily there as a deterrent. After all, some of the merchant groups from the Radiant Han Kingdom tended to be a bit arrogant. Without a high-level warship guarding the station, who knew what trouble they might cause?
On this day, the usually peaceful Radiant Star Mid-Range Gateway Station welcomed a Battleship with a length of 10,000 meters. However, this scene didn't cause much of a stir, as several battleships had already appeared in the past half month, and the lower-ranked Flame Ship Captains at the station were already used to such occurrences.
"Old Ancestor, what's wrong?"
Seeing the sudden halt of the battleship, both Song Chi and Song Ze were perplexed.
According to their current status in the Song Family, the Alpha Family and the Wu Family should have arranged for the best transmission time for them. Unexpectedly, they were told to wait for a few days.
The Original Ancestor shook his head lightly.
"There's a problem with the Mid-Range Gateway, and they're currently rushing to repair it!"
Faced with this reason, the three of them could only wait.
The next day, Song Chi was in deep contemplation, while Song Ze wanted to take a stroll outside.
"Go out for a walk? The Flame Ship Captains at this Gateway Station are quite diverse, and many of them are from the Eastern Star Domain of the Radiant Han Kingdom. It's said that some good things often appear here!"
Song Ze was quite interested. If it weren't for the fact that the Ethereal Energy in his body hadn't fully recovered, he would have dragged Song Chi out the previous day.
Song Chi didn't refuse.
By now, his Guidance Technique had reached a significant bottleneck, and the improvement of his mental power was not something he wanted to talk about. Going out for a walk was a good idea.
The diameter of the Radiant Star Mid-Range Gateway Station wasn't particularly large. After all, it couldn't connect to various star domains within the Duchy like the Dinghai Transmission Station. It only had one transmission point, leading to the Eastern Star Domain of the Radiant Han Kingdom.
Although the diameter of the station's orbit wasn't as grand as the Dinghai Transmission Station, it was still well-equipped. The docking area, ship repair area, maintenance area, trading area, supply area, and entertainment area were all present.
The trading area was naturally the most interesting place for Song Chi and Song Ze, located in the station's core region and attracting the most foot traffic.
Various shops lined both sides of the orbit, and small personal stalls were set up in the corner areas near the shop entrances. There was no other choice; the station wasn't very big, and the trading area was limited in space. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that every inch of space was valuable.
"Younger Cousin, look at that stall over there. They have an orange-quality main cannon component."
Following Song Ze's gaze, Song Chi looked at a stall not far away. Although it was just a small personal stall set up in the corridor corner, it displayed several purple components and one orange component, attracting attention.
Song Chi wasn't particularly interested in this main cannon, but Song Ze was different. His ship had also been promoted to a Cruiser, and his Great-Great-Grandfather from the family lineage had quickly obtained a second main cannon component for him, but it was only purple quality.
After some haggling, Song Ze shook his head in disappointment. The seller's price was too high, and he didn't have enough Floating Continent Essence.
"How much do you lack?"
Song Chi asked. With plenty of Tier 3 Floating Continent Essence in his possession, he could easily support his cousin, who had a good relationship with him.
"Four hundred strands of Tier 3 Floating Continent Essence will do."
Song Ze was delighted and didn't refuse. He knew that Song Chi, being a member of the family lineage, had financial resources far beyond his own.
After Song Chi provided 400 strands of Tier 3 Floating Continent Essence, Song Ze happily acquired the orange-quality main cannon.
"Consider it borrowed; I'll return it soon."
Song Chi didn't pay much attention to Song Ze's last sentence. At this moment, his gaze fell on another stall to the side.
"Is this a Tier 5 Void Crystal?"
As he approached the stall, he picked up a small crystal.
The stall owner was a Flame Ship Captain who had just advanced to Tier 3 in Guidance Technique. He wore a harmless smile and nodded directly at Song Chi: "The customer has a good eye. This is indeed a Tier 5 Void Crystal. It took a lot of effort to obtain it..."
Song Chi waved his hand, interrupting the seller's meaningless words. This person looked ordinary, but under his dual pupils, Song Chi could see the dense and gloomy blood energy surrounding the seller, a sign of having personally slaughtered many living beings.
Remember, the key point is 'personally slaughtered,' not 'controlled a warship.'
"One strand of Tier 6 Floating Continent Essence. Are you selling?"
Without any extra words, Song Chi offered his price, which was the standard market price. If the seller didn't agree, he might even add a little more.
The Tier 5 Void Crystal was an essential item for the continued Tier 6 enhancement of the 004th Secret Realm of the Chiding Warehouse and the future promotion of the Silver Apple Mother Tree to Tier 6.
The stall owner remained silent for a moment, then seemed to think of something and nodded in agreement.
After completing the transaction, Song Chi suddenly asked a question that startled the seller.
"Do you have any other good items in your team? Tier 5 Void Crystals, purple or higher special ship components, or other rare mineral resources..."
Upon hearing this, the stall owner, who had been acting like an ordinary captain, had a flash of red light in his eyes, and a dense blood-killing aura suddenly appeared on his body.
This sudden change startled Song Ze, who was standing next to Song Chi. However, seeing Song Chi's calm demeanor, and also remembering the Original Ancestor who was already at the station, Song Ze quickly regained his composure.
What Song Ze didn't know was that during his momentary surprise, Song Chi had already confirmed his previous guess.
Seeing their reaction, the stall owner realized that the identities of the two might not be simple. Considering that Song Chi, a Tier 3 Flame Ship Captain, had casually taken out a strand of Tier 6 Floating Continent Essence earlier, the stall owner took out a special communication ring from his backpack and said, "Please wait. I'll go and ask!"
Half a minute later, the stall owner began to pack up his stall.
Following him, Song Chi and Song Ze arrived at a narrow passageway in the trading area, where a special shop appeared before their eyes.
"Starry Sky Shop? A pirate gang of your size can still operate a shop here at the Gateway Station?"
Song Chi’s casual remark made both Song Ze and the stall owner, who was walking in front, jump in surprise. However, before they could react, a hearty laugh came from the shop named "Starry Sky."
"There’s black where there’s white, and darkness where there’s light. The five major factions control every aspect of the public face of the Principality, but there’s naturally room for small pirate gangs like ours in the shadows. Do you think this makes sense, Seventh Prince of the Song Family?"
Song Chi showed no surprise at all when his identity was called out. For a pirate gang to operate openly in a Gateway Station, they must have extraordinary means, and having informants and intelligence was the bare minimum.
Seeing that Song Chi remained unperturbed, the tall man didn’t elaborate, going straight to the point:
"Deputy Leader of the Starry Sky Pirate Fleet, Fourth Rank Pursue Deer Fleet Captain 'Star Trace,' pays his respects to Seventh Prince Song. I’m sure Your Highness doesn’t wish to deal with people like us, so let’s get straight to the goods. Please come in!"
Despite being a Fourth Rank Pursue Deer Fleet Captain, the pirate deputy leader was quite respectful, not only because of the "Progenitor" located just 200,000 meters away but also because of Song Chi’s potential. In the eyes of the entire Morning Star Principality, he was already a prodigy destined to reach the Fourth Rank, with a good chance of advancing to the Fifth Rank in the future.
Led by Star Trace, the group entered a secret room at the back of the shop. Inside, multiple storage racks were neatly arranged, holding various high-quality "goods" accumulated by the pirate gang over the years.
Song Chi’s gaze swept through the room without paying attention to Star Trace and the others. While the items in the secret room couldn’t compare to the Song Family’s Merit Building or the Radiance Star Tower’s marketplace, there were still several purple and orange artifacts, including two red epic artifacts.
Red Epic [Pseudo Black Hole Annihilation Cannon]
Red Epic [Thunder Giant Core] (Cannot be converted into ship components)
Orange [Hurricane Engine]
Orange [Light Attribute Primary Law Crystal]
Orange [Roar Transit Device]
...
Song Chi’s attention was mainly on the orange and red artifacts. He found a few that caught his eye.
"I’ll take the [Light Attribute Primary Law Crystal] and the [Roar Transit Device]. What’s the price?"
Star Trace, the Fourth Rank Pursue Deer Fleet Captain, didn’t try to overcharge, knowing that a Fifth Rank Battlecruiser Captain was watching over them.
In the end, Song Chi paid 2000 strands of Third Rank Floating Continent Essence + 10 strands of Fourth Rank Floating Continent Essence for the two items.
The Light Attribute Primary Law Crystal was essential for the future upgrade of the Cobalt to a Fourth Rank Pursue Deer Ship. Since Song Chi was cultivating two laws, he would need to invest one Primary Spatial Law Crystal and one Primary Light Law Crystal.
As for the [Roar Transit Device], he was about to head to the North Sky Star Domain. Although the distance from the Stark Clan’s ancestral land to the North Sky Heavenly Kingdom was not as far as from the Morning Star Principality, it still exceeded 200,000 light-years. Relying solely on the [Aurora Transit Device] and a blue transit component would take a lot of time.
After acquiring these two items, he pointed to the [Thunder Giant Core].
"Sixty percent of the regular market price for a red component. Deal or no deal?"
This item couldn’t be converted into a ship component and could only sell for half price in the Flame Human civilization. He wanted to see if he could negotiate a deal.
The man thought for a moment and then made a gesture with seven fingers.
"Deal!"
This item could sell for its regular red artifact price in the Ruins Market, so it was a good deal.
After completing the transaction, Song Chi and Song Ze left without further delay.
Once they were gone, the Third Rank stall owner, who had led them, said coldly:
"Deputy Leader, those two are clearly fat sheep. Who cares about what factions they belong to... Slap!"
Before he could finish, he was slapped into a daze.
"Idiot, the reason 'Starlight' has survived for centuries is because we know how to read people. We never touch the goods of major forces. A Fifth Rank family is one thing, but the Song Family from Zhidai? They have a Sixth Rank Dreadnought for protection. If we anger them, the entire Hollow Belt will be turned upside down!!"
...
After leaving the Starry Sky Shop, the two continued to browse the trading area for a while, but found no other items of interest.
Back at the Gateway Station hotel, Song Chi immediately summoned the Cobalt in the hotel’s warship summoning room and reinforced the newly acquired [Roar Transit Device] to Level 50.
Roar Transit Device Level 50
Quality: Orange
Trait: Maximum jump distance doubled
Trait 2: Jump recharge time reduced by 50%
Cost: 10,000 units per use (Ethereal Energy Points)
Effect: After recharging, the warship performs a spatial jump in the designated direction. Current maximum jump distance: 1100 (550 x 2) light-years
Recharge: 5 minutes; Cooldown: 8 hours
Upgrade Requirements: 2 strands of Fifth Rank Floating Continent Essence, 80,000 Ethereal Energy Points, 92 Titanium Crystals
He also reinforced the [Aurora Transit Device] from Level 40 to Level 50, spending a total of nearly 2000 Titanium Crystals for both.
After reaching the Fifth Rank, both orange transit devices had a maximum jump distance of 1100 light-years, making the journey much easier.
More importantly, the [Roar Transit Device] had a recharge time of only 5 minutes, which could be crucial in emergencies, potentially saving lives.
The next day passed without incident, and on the third day, the Unmoving Bodhimanda Ship set off again.
After a violent spatial fluctuation, over ten thousand Flame Warships were teleported several thousand light-years away by the Mid-Range Gateway.
"This is the Radiant Han Kingdom..."
Song Ze, sitting by a window in the battleship, gazed out with a gleam in his eyes.
In contrast, Song Chi remained calm. They had just passed through the Frandia Kingdom, including its capital star domain, which was a 7th Rank Star Sea Floating Continent. Compared to that, the 4th Rank Floating Continent here was quite ordinary.
The Unmoving Bodhimanda Ship didn’t intend to stop. After leaving the Gateway Station in the East Land Star Domain, the enhanced red transit device was activated, and the battleship reappeared 2000 light-years away.
Then, the orange transit device was used.
Thus, the Unmoving Bodhimanda Ship began its continuous journey.
The Stark Clan’s ancestral land was a Sixth Rank Life-Type Star Sea Floating Continent located in the central six star domains of the Radiant Han Kingdom, separated from the East Land Star Domain by dozens of star domains.
